OSU_Matthew posted:Lake Titicaca? Though the googler says that translates to Puma Rock Yeah, TITICACA! I did not know I wanted St Nicholas oil. I work mostly on old stuff, so no smd stuff, no paste, only through hole DIP chips. I’ll solder a socket to the board then put the chip in the socket. Let’s see, over the past two years I’ve gotten: KSGER T12 soldering iron Anesty ZD-915 desoldering station 2 Korad power supplies Cheap-ish function generator The piece de resistance: Rigol D1054z 4-channel oscilloscope (easily the most expensive item but also the most useful by far) Also countless different electronic doo-dads and such. Resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, TTL chips… just so much crap. It’s been really really fun though and holy crap have I learned a lot

My wife bought a toilet seat. I'm not sure what the accepted method to remove a toilet seat screw stuck in a round nut in a compression sleeve is but I bought a Dremel.

Guitars go out, guitars come in. Hopefully 2023 isn't the year I really screw myself over due to digital payment reporting! Squier Baritone Custom Telecaster  Hondo H-727EVHT, early 80s and came with the stripes. Matches well with another Hondo I have  Also factory striped. These apparently REALLY pissed of Eddie Van Halen  Hondo Fame Series H-7634, short scale kids/travel guitar from the late 80s. A surprisingly good playing guitar.  Hondo Fame Series H-760, the big sibling to the one above  Firefly FFJALCWT, a clone of the SubZero Rogue VI, which was a clone of the Squier Baritone Jazzmaster. And I didn't buy this one, it just showed up with one of the other guitars in a separate box from the same seller but no paperwork or anything saying where it should go. Waiting to hear something from them, I have a feeling the cost to pick it up and bring it back to them will be more than they want to pay and I sure as hell won't pay to send it back when it wasn't my screwup.  Dean "Dime from Hell" Baby ML 3/4 size. Not something I would ever buy myself, but it's pretty cool. I've honestly wanted an ML for a long time, but the ones I run across in my price range are the cheap Dimebag Darrell models like this one.

We’ve had a soda stream forever and I’m drinking less lately, so I thought I’d pick up some soda syrups: This was one of my best ideas lately. $10/bottle, each bottle is about 25 sodas, and half the calories. I’m very excited to add the soda water tap to the kegerator.

Are they any good? I’ve tried the SS brand ones as well as a few random ones from Homegoods or whatever and they’re all mid at best.

I’m really enjoying the Torani Puremade line. If you haven’t had Italian soda, it’s not like regular saccharine American soda, it’s lighter and thinner overall. The pumps are really good and they recommend 4 per soda (2tbsp). The flavors are really good. Blood orange is nice and tart, ginger is tangy enough, mango is sweet and pretty true to flavor, and the bergamot feels pretty on point, too. Probably the lightest of the bunch.

A corded Dremel 4000 was the first power tool I bought and I've had it since it came out in like 2009. I think I probably own almost every accessory for it at this point. A Dremel is almost never the best tool for the job, but it's usually good enough! I still have it up on a shelf in the garage. I now mostly use the Milwaukee M12 rotary tool which has the benefit of being battery powered, and has the same collet size and plastic threading as the Dremel 4000, so I can use all my accessories with it.

If you have a hobby that includes tinkering with anything they're great for getting out pins, stripped screws and shaping little bits of metal. Most recently I made this monstrosity and used the Dremel to get then pin out so I could remove the original blade of the knife.  It's a dual bladed cutter for cutting out equal strips of paper/cardboard.

They let you keep the dremel in prison?! Most recently I used mine to cut out a larger opening in the inverter so it could fit a universal plug rather than the US one it came with

Ok ok ok, let’s all calm down lol 2 questions mr: Why the need for the double blade? Those likes look like single blade cuts Why in the name of all that is not terrible would the razor blade go halfway down the handle????!!!! I’m imagining myself leaving blood on the table for the awful crime of simply picking it up

That's how you keep people from messing with your tools. Its hard to tell from the pic but it looks like they have cut a narrow strip out of the sheet, presumably that needs to be a specific and constant width. I don't know anything about cameras or fixing them but those posts have definitely caught my interest.

The bellows (looks like for a large format camera) needs to collapse down so they fit inside the camera when it's closed. But it also needs to be sturdy. So it's made with opaque vinyl/leather and card backing. The grooves in the card is so it'll fold better. There's a large-/medium-format phototgraphy-thread in the Dorkroom if you want to look at some neat photos/cameras.

namlosh posted:Ok ok ok, let’s all calm down lol I made a post about making the bellows in a different thread if you're interested in the whole process, which makes the double blade use more clear. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3868955&pagenumber=6&perpage=40&userid=0#post529050091 The blade goes halfway down the handle because that's the blade I had and that's how far it stuck out. No blood was drawn while using the knife and I'm as surprised as you are. I will probably wrap it with electrical tape next time I use it but it wasn't an issue for how I held it while using it.

In fact I used my Dremel again today, this time it was because some numpty was in this shutter before me and completely mangled a brass screw so I used it to cut a new slot for the screwdriver. Worked a treat. This is for repairing the same camera that needs the bellows. Anyway buy a Dremel, they're very useful!

Someone else posted this a few pages ago, but I will reiterate: if you get a Dremel also buy (and wear!) safety glasses. They are seriously powerful for how small they are and you don't want a sliver of something being fired at high speed into your eyeball

 Just bought this for a horrendous price because I have to import it from the US and get a "luxury" 5 gallon bucket, because apparently there is no good (humane) mousetrap available in Europe. Discovered mice in my garage, damage I have discovered is actually pretty minor/doesn't affect important things, I hope it stays that way. Most upsetting is the fact that I have found droppings inside my motorcycle. I also discovered their nest, two mice came out from there. I decided not to clear it out for now in order to not give them any incentive to destroy more things in order to build a new one.
