Of course I used plumbers putty. Who doesn’t use plumbers putty? I mean look, I got plumbers putty. Plenty of it. You want some? Sure, fine, here have all you want. More from where that came from. Plumbers putty. Pshaw. This guy! Asking about plumbers putty. Huh. (I used it up top under the...

Nah it is a pretty impressive chonky thick black rubber. Was difficult to slide up over the tailpipe threads for the nut. Looking at the instructions they call it a rubber washer. I’m just going to take it all apart and reassemble.

Sorry this is the new one that is plastic, not the previous picture of the old. My fault for not being more specific. Between the gasket and the bottom of the basin. I can tighten the jamb nut but there's still a small trickle coming out at the top of the gasket. It is like it didn't seat in...

It probably was mold b/c it came away with a wet cloth and some cleaning. My issue now is that with the replacement gasket and nut there's a small leak between the bottom of the basin and the gasket. Tightening it has turned it from a drip to just enough to wet the rubber gasket. I may try to...

Cool. I tend to not watch previews.

Captain Buck Angel aside (Jesus what a cringe as all hell pathetic attempt at a character who will no doubt turn in to the Big Bad)… Just a waste of an episode. Nothing happened. They wander in to an asteroid field and get trapped, captured, plot twist with pirates that take over the Enterprise...

I like that he said "cock on" about 100 times. That'll be my new expression when I come inside, "check this out, it is COCK ON!"

God bless YouTube...

I don't know if I mentioned but my fiancé's father passed away a few years ago, before we started dating. When we visited her mom a couple months back she let me take his miter saw. Never used one or touched one. Man this thing is pretty awesome lol. Welcome to 19XX, I know. Only issue I have...

Just finished Book 1 - 5 of Red Rising. By the end I was pretty burnt out and didn’t really enjoy Book 5. It felt like a lot of steam was lost in moving from Book 3 to 4 and the restructuring of the narrative to involve all the other POV. Darrow turned in to a boring character. The military...

I can tell you one thing. After today I'm going to buy a small adjustable wrench that fits in spaces that a grown man's arm cannot fit and is short enough to still turn. These damn full size wrenches are a BITCH to work with and the other 4 sinks are going to be just as tight.

I've found in my 8 years so far that it is a bell curve, so to speak. Start out with nothing, get deep in projects, buy to fill your niches, gaps, grow, and to learn and experiment. Then downsize and pare back and focus on the tools your really need, get rid of some of the extra stuff you...

Yeah I ended up having to (or at least what worked for me) raise the drain up and shove a long screw driver through to pin one end against the sink to get leverage and unscrew the two pieces. Then it came out. Was a huge pita.

Am I going to have to cut this off with a dremel or something? Never encountered this changing bathroom sink hardware at my old homes, but no idea how they got this in there. The drain is like a solid piece of pipe… *edit: nm got it two seconds later lol

Thanks! I ended up getting a Nikon D7000 body off eBay for $200. Came with box and all accessories and manuals. Think it was 9,000 something on the shutter. Then that 50mm lens new in box for I wanna say $200 also. Figured I would go the brand new for the lens instead of used. Now I just...

Yep I did the same thing. Beneath my top there is a substructure for mounting the bolts, so not just the plywood. But I filled the gaps between with scrap pieces of plywood so there'd be more surface area to mount to. Was either going to put my little 7" miter saw on the other side or a belt /...

I told the fiancé the same thing!

So we’ve had the Samsung Q900A hooked up for a couple of weeks now and overall I’m satisfied. Even with the room not at all complimentary to the simulated surround efforts of the sound bar I get moments of really great projection. I could imagine it sounding pretty awesome in a more rectangular...

That's true. I did some research on making my own slip cases and it still interests me, but have way too much else going on for another hobby. But nice slip cases are very cool to me.

I think I mentioned a bit ago that I found a Stihl weed eater buried in the basement from the previous owner. Went poking around trying to get it to run and the first immediate thing was the primer bulb was rotted. Checked Amazon and they were 10pcs for $11.47 but right before buying noticed a...

Speaking of Waterlox, I found this guide last night on archive.org b/c I couldn't find a direct link on Waterlox's website anymore. It is probably there but it was easier letting the browser find the saved version.

What do you mean by straight? 😝

lol probably in all my rambling and multitasking it was never asked, but thank you for answering :) I may look in to the Waterlox for another test. Still have over a month to finish the project so can continue testing. It'll cover the whole desk. The wood itself is over 30 years old so some...

Unfortunately I have nothing to help @Soygen with because hinges, drawers, and fasteners are anathema to me and I don't even want to try... So will just pile on with another question regarding finishing Cherry. I've read quite and am continuing to read a lot of threads on the topic and idea...

That's a big complaint I have about most SciFi / Fantasy special editions from these publishers. Most of the dustjackets are so unappealingly bad I'd be ashamed to have them on my bookshelf. Quite a few others I'd probably be interested in and am actively discouraged from purchasing because they...

Thread necro... Anyone have feedback on the Nikon D3500? I'm setting up a small light cube about 30x20x20 to do some firearm photography and have the budget to purchase an "inexpensive" camera to support the effort. The D3500 I can find on eBay for $400 body only, and then pick up a Nikkor...

I think you've found your ticket to success. Fucking white people.

Oh, I really never even looked in to the house rules stuff. In retrospect glad that I didn't b/c it was a good lesson in mechanics and learning how to maneuver around. With upgrades it is more of a nuisance and feels in line with how it should have been to start. But good to know, thanks!

Put more time in this because I like you. It actually got fun, just took longer than expected and trudging through the beginning sucked. But after a few upgrades things went more smoothly and progression actually started for me. So, yeah, perhaps I judged a little too early. It is fun. Probably...

Well, just broke one of my desk legs doing the mortise. I knew when the chisel hit a little resistance it was a bad idea but pulled anyways. Broke part of the side and top of the leg off. Was pretty much that whole area there. Glued it back together and don't think it'll be a huge deal at all...

Yeah, I use like a 15 year old Black and Decker that feels like a 8.5 earthquake in my hand while using it and sounds as loud as my damn table saw, so it really is appealing to me.

Couple of things I saw this morning: Taytools is having a clearance on some Narex branded chisels that are really good pricing. I'd buy these over one of the Amazon Chineseum brands if you were at all interested or just needed a backup...

I’ve been wondering what to do with all the Cherry chips and flakes I’m making from all the hand planing, routing, and thickness planer.

I just reinstalled it since it has been probably a year since I last gave it a shot. The most immediate off putting thing was the collision damage, or maybe just damage in general. Maybe my save wasn’t in the Steam cloud or a patch wiped everything, but I had no unlocks. There’s so much crap...

I didn't like it near as much as the 1st one.

That’s awesome
