I would be very surprised if paint stripper doesn’t also dissolve the glue that is used to stick the veneer to the mdf/chipboard that the cabinets are made out of.
It’s easy to do. They look good in black. I would keep them as they are and practice on speakers that don’t work, aren’t worth anything and you’re not attached to or find someone who can repair them properly.
You ‘shouldn’t’ really use a honing rod on super hard Japanese knives at all. You’re much more likely to cause damage to the thin cutting edge. If the knife hasn’t been sharpened many times and the blade is thick behind the cutting edge you’re less likely to do damage but at that stage you should have it thinned.
I have heard the same thing about steel honing rods but never about ceramic. Most people recommend using the ceramic rods on the high hardness Japanese knives. I do agree that a strop is a great alternative but then you should be using the strop everytime you use your knife so that you done have to resharpen on stones so often. My knives don't have to be resharpened on stones for over a year at a time and will pop hair the whole time I between sharpenings. I use a strop and sometimes a steel
Guy deserved that, guy was a drunken mess harassing people all night. Got exactly what he deserved. Why do people walk around thinking they can be shit heads and harass people without getting their teeth knocked out?
Yeah being drunk and annoying is definitely grounds for being knocked out by a professional fighter. What an insane position for you to take. Schilling could have handled that situation in a hundred different ways but he chose to be a violent, reckless dickhead to a wasted, defenceless moron. He’s a total wanker.
I wasn't sure if the glass could be cut on a taper to account for the variance in the window trim. Still a straight edge, but at a 1° angle for instance, is this not possible? This is the only thing out of our whole house renovation that we haven't done ourselves, other than the stone bench installation, so I get a bit concerned with having no control over the outcome
You probably don’t want a perfectly scribed panel of glass hard up to a bench top. Your walls may move, your cabinets may move and your floor will almost certainly move. If the counter and glass move against each other there is a chance of cracking.
Unless you truly need active speakers then you could get a wiim amp and buy some very nice used passive speakers and a great sub for 3k that will likely smoke any active set up you can buy brand new.
Surely though that's what your assistant manager's and other coaching staff are supposed to help you with though. They're watching the game, running through a lot of data and analytics to help the manager find a weakness to exploit.
They’re all leaving with him. I think they all know that the cycle here at Liverpool is over. We started getting found out a few seasons ago after Klopp’s super high line and pressing rates were picked up by other teams.
Oh calm down. This is classic Reddit/LFCtv/RAWK knee jerk response to anyone being negative or saying something you don’t agree with. It’s fine if you don’t agree with me. I’m not making any decisions for the club. I actually think about football a lot. I listen to podcasts daily and have been following and talking about LFC for over 20 years now and played since I was 8 years old. Don’t pretend you know who I am or how I think about something I’m very passionate about and have invested much of my life to.
Depends on what you’re used to, what your source is and your room. I have the cm5 s2’s but I’m used to big 3-way floorstanders so whilst they are clean and the imaging is nice they just don’t sound right to me. Depending on room size you’ll likely want a sub with them.
If you insulate it with batts and don’t seal it up you will be making a Mecca for rodents and possums. They love it. We deal with possums moving into our builds all the time. Give it a few weeks and it’s likely gonna start stinking of rat piss.
Actually this raises a question, my brother and I were talking about the trades and he claims the reason he worked for a mason was because, and I quote - "masonry work only requires measuring to the half inch to be in spec, framers have to use the little lines on the tape measure." he meant the 8th inch marks.
We use millimeters in Australia and we regularly measure to the mm. We rarely need things to be bang on to the mm though. I would presume you guys would have been working to a 16th for sure.
This dude has his fence on backwards and is asking basic questions and you suggest he removes more safety gear? It might be fine for you to use your saw without one but suggesting stuff that can be really dangerous for inexperienced users is real dumb.
I didn't suggest removing anything? The fence makes it more dangerous. Clamps make it a LOT more dangerous if done even a little incorrectly, and a riving knife isn't going to help or hurt on a half blind cut.
If you can afford and have the room for bigger speakers then you won’t be disappointed by getting a 3-way floorstander. The used market is flooded with people selling their speakers for soundbars so you can pick up obscenely good speakers for very little money if you keep your eyes peeled.
I did it on my second day 🤓. Broke my left index middle knuckle and rocked a splint for the first 8 months of my apprenticeship. Work comp settlement made a nice one year framing gift though.
They don’t need mechanical fasteners. Depending on the material, PVA or liquid nails would be more than enough. People vastly underestimate how strong modern adhesives are and overestimate how strong fixtures need to be.
Makes sense - thanks. I got up in mine the other week and there was a random wire just cut hanging… decided to just avoid it, but I did wonder whether it was live. Luckily my curiosity never got the best of me…
If you’re going to be up in your roof and doing little reno stuff then get yourself a little non-contact testing pen for $30 and test the cables. I keep one in my toolbag just for peace of mind when doing demo works.
Thanks, I might have a crack at using some paint stripper
I would be very surprised if paint stripper doesn’t also dissolve the glue that is used to stick the veneer to the mdf/chipboard that the cabinets are made out of.
Thanks for the info, I might just leave them black lol, I am a complete noob at this stuff and would hate to wreck them

I didn't know that you couldn't use a honing rod on chisel ground knives. I always thought you could

Oh right. I didn’t read the ‘ceramic’ part of your post.

Depends if it was hollow ground on your offhand side?

Reviving this properly dead thread just in case anyone stumbles upon it in the future.

Are they definitely steel plates? They look like plastic window packers to me.
They look like stump packers. Window packers are about half the size.
The ceiling is unlikely to lift. Could be the weight of that piece of furniture next to it bowing the deep floor joists
I would think it’s more likely that the stumps are sinking and the whole subfloor frame is sinking.
OP has said this is on the second floor
Yep, just read that after my comment! 😅

Good lord people are over explaining this. Lose the fence, you don't want it to pinch. Hold the board on the mitre gauge and make the cut you need.
This dude has his fence on backwards and is asking basic questions and you suggest he removes more safety gear? It might be fine for you to use your saw without one but suggesting stuff that can be really dangerous for inexperienced users is real dumb.

You're right, you didn't suggest that he removes the riving knife and the fence in this application is a pinch point.
They're commonly called a 5-way binding post.

I can’t imagine having to work with a splint for 8 months! Must have been a major pita.
Looking back, I don’t know how I did it. My foreman was an all timer hardass and I suppose he either inspired or scared me into toughing it out.
Hope it healed up well!
What type of fastener would be a better choice?

My skelly boys are UNSTOPPABLE
Yeah they’re awesome against anything that doesn’t deal lots of area damage like the magma wyrms, etc.
Congrats! You look stoked with the find. Enjoy, my friend!

Some people can’t stand the Heresy’s. They seem to be quite polarising. I would highly recommend auditioning them in your own set up.
Fat Max. Thrash it for 6 months and then put the next one on a job and send it for another 6 months.
They’re fine for on site but for furniture grade work they are way too small.
