Ko SprueOne Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Extracted a screw from inside my car. I guess the factory tech (robot, I don't know) broke the bit off in the Phillips groove. I thought it was epoxy or something because it was an opaque amber color. Started cutting a straight groove with my file until I notice that it was just dulling the file and not cutting any deeper. Then got the cutoff wheel. It caused a little damage not anything to worry about. Too difficult to hold a camera and carefully grind the small screw at the same time so I included a picture from the internets for effect... SPARKS EFFECT!!

Every one says this and I pretty much did in the beginning just learn the machines and materials. The work you have to put in to produce things can be exhaustive regardless if its for hobby or industry. Since I have the capabilities, I figured it would be cheaper to trial and error manufacturing my stamps than it is to buy. Easily looking at a few hundred bucks for stamps. Around 400+ with design and set up fees. That's a lot for a stamp. Edited April 26 by ndv 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndv Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 @LUGR what i should do is make a run of a few QRCodes leading to specific topic threads here on the oontz, one of them being the Thick and FAFO. Then get that krink recipe just right and start stamping all over town. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklesndimes Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 today i serviced a bicycle suspension fork successfully for the first time. was contemplating getting a new one altogether but opted to service it instead. so for the foreseeable future riding on a beautiful less than $20 fix instead of all that waste. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T4M* Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I turned a selfie stick into a car tripod. This is the first setup, Stick is bolted onto the car's antenna and there is a suction cup to keep it stable. It has been field tested and footage has been released in the pies thread. After tests, I wanted to lift the stick more, so I bought brackets, and the lift made a huge difference. Check it out: Before, my car looked like a "lady bug" by people , now the view is waaaaay better. The stick was all the way extended, better car view. I also said I was going to test the new camera before my nap, only took a few pics " I ordered a mini mic (lavalier) and it's going to be mounted by my exhaust pipes to get better car audio, future project. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Recharged my car's ac. Never had need to do so before but easy as doing a paint transfer can to can. Probably saved $150 from having a shop diagnose/fix. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklesndimes Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 @One Man Banned are you saying you recharged the freon, or some other component of the a/c? if so, can you fill us in at all on the general idea/process? thanks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUGR Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Yeah, I think I need to give that AC recharge a try too. Did it vastly improve your AC performance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
