Dad bragging...

'Morning, everyone - Apologize for the OT interruption. Felt like doing a little dad bragging. My daughter started getting into ceramics her freshman year of college. Used it as a quiet mental health break from school, classes, etc. She graduated in May, and continues her pottery at a local studio. ...

Re: Ansco Super Regent

And the secret is… Heat. Like, real heat. I’ve had inconsistent and mediocre luck with an 110 watt hairdryer, but because I suddenly have need to shrink wrap electrical connectors, I decided to look at fer real heat guns. Luckily it’s pseudo Prime Day. Combined with the growth of eastern manufacturi...

Re: It's spring, so that means...

When I read this without my glasses this morning when I first got up I thought that last caption read, “Love the lines on this.” I agree with both statements. Hmm - it’s fall here. As I’m accumulatin...

Re: Damn spring…

Thanks guys! I looked closer at the images in the ad and the advance knob was already wonky. The female threaded post integral to the knob is actually canted; the shaft below is not bent. There’s zero indication that this was ever dropped on the knob, and there isn’t any evidence of any stress or cr...

Re: Damn spring…

Alex, you da man! So, decided monofilament would be a bit more robust. Took a few iterations but realized tying kind of a noose in the line would give me something easier to loop over the spring than trying to fish it through (see what I did there?!). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54050065836_...
