Lol... yes, I couldn't believe I left and forgot to unplug it!

I just googled that nail puller... I'm wondering if it's easier or harder to use... guess if you could get the nail head up enough it might require less disassembly of wooden item to get the nails out. Thanks for sharing! I wasn't aware of that type of pneumatic nail puller

Thanks for the idea!

I like that idea! Do you know if they make a low profile battery holder? Inside the plastic body there's maybe 3/16 of an inch of space... I don't think the battery holders I have seen would fit... though could possibly make a custom battery holder in the future.

​@@wamindustriesOoh, that's definitely a tight fit. Probably not going to find one that low profile unfortunately, but you never know!

​@briancernic makes sense... thanks for the idea!

Hmm... not quite sure what you mean by a rounded stamp... could you explain it more?

​@@wamindustries I made a picture of it: =[) 😊 That types of stamp "printing" like a wheel - from one side to another by rolling on the paper

It's enjoyable and rewarding!!

Oh... thanks for that feedback!! I probably should have still given it a try. So the people experiencing the exploding batteries must have been leaving their iron on the battery for an extended period???

​@@wamindustriesSoldering the wire to the battery may heat it up. if the batteries have welded legs that you solder to, then the risk is negligible. Sorry, I didn't notice, the old battery has legs and the new one doesn't. I was watching in the background while doing other things. Good thing you didn't solder.😊

​@snik2pl thanks for the clarification... hey I watch UA-cam often the same way... doing something at the same time so I totally understand

Hmm... I'm not sure. We have had it for around 6 or more years. I didn't see a date on it. I'm actually in my shop cleaning it again

Lol

That sounds like an interesting project!!!

?

More basic than a mill you can get one for cheap used and throw it on a workbench

Lol... My thoughts as well! Still, A hand drill could be used instead... Though that would be harder.

Lol... Basic turns out to be a relative term I guess. Anyways, a hand drill could be used instead of a drill press though that would take more work.

Hey, thanks for the feedback and encouragement!

Hmm... I haven't tried that. I would guess in theory it would work if you're using shavings that were fine enough (probably best to build up the surface and then sand it down to the right thickness), though depending on your surface it may be better just to hand plane it to flatten it and then feather it in with the planer or sandpaper. If you're painting the surface, I have sometimes used a harder plaster. I would only use a thin layer though... keep it thin. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the encouragement and feedback

I know! The worst part is all the unknowns with it. At least from what I know of it, it's a little hard to measure and determine what would be necessary in order to bring it to original strength/safety factor.

@@wamindustries wow order what hahaha I build that shit

@Sisyphean1775 thanks for the tip!!! I'll have to give it a try!!

At one point I had thought of trying something like that. I even have a metal lathe of my own and a drill press so those operations are feasible. The only part that concerns me is the heat treat and messing with the metallurgy. The other unknown is how much of the original strength is lost due to the hole and the repair. I am thinking however of changing the caliber to a lower pressure round and maybe doing a repair that way (maybe 9mm). We'll see how things go.

@@wamindustries losing the heat treat shouldnt end in catastrophic failure maybe a crack heavy wear in a couple thousand rounds. One way to fix this is make an additional cover/band that wraps around the chamber completely. You could also add a very light heat treat just make sure you actively cool the barrel so it keeps it. If you do re activate it you should post it (not in UA-cam but one of the alternatives)

So true! It looked like this particular piece was right from the factory when this process happened... Sad to see such perfect rifling wasted!!

Lol

Quick follow up question... So back when I purchased it I was looking for something rated with a csa z94.3 and din setting of 13, adjustable speed, darkness... What other factors should one consider? Thanks!

@@wamindustriesHey! Professional welder here by trade. Those cheap welding helmets are good for hobbies, but theyre not always the best for the long term. Some people dont like to spend a lot, but ive used a lot of helmets so i can give you a few pointers. always check optical clarity rating. 1/1/1/1 is the best, but most helmets you find will usually be around 1/1/1/2 the last digit is how much the lens varies in shade throughout angles so some helmets will vary in darkness across the lens and you wanna avoid that. Obviously you dont need the best of the best unless its your career or a serious hobby. However, look for helmets have replaceable batteries, fit well with good headgear, and are a color and clarity that you are happy with. I dont know what color lens that hood has in it but ive always likes blue lenses the best, and the more you spend the more you get. Hope this helps 😁

​​@@Nakadori.qcow2thanks for the info from your experience! I'm actually surprised to see the specs for this welding mask line up pretty well with what you listed. It does have the 1/1/1/1! So it's probably great for a hobbyist like me. I don't regularly use it too much.

@@wamindustries When i was a hobbyist i used to use a $70 eastwood welding helmet, i believe it was the L6700. Now that i do it professionally, ive tried everything, from lincoln, miller, jackson, esab, speedglas, optrel, etc. My all time favorite is my Optrel Panoramaxx CLT. That helmet is my personal personal baby and the clearest and nicest helmet ive ever used, its gonna run you some hefty cash though, when i bought it it was $705.

​@@Nakadori.qcow2at that price I would hope it is good! Sounds like a nice welding mask. Thanks for all the info

Best way is to test on a scrap piece of the material. One way I have dealt with that myself is to Google the specific fiber and see if mineral spirits damages it.

Thanks it's a good project

Do you have a full tutorial?

I have a part one up on my channel... I am very close to finishing the tent and then I'll put up a part 2 for the full video. The next part of the tent project is once again weather dependent.

Thanks, he sure is!

It would have an issue until the mineral spirits gasses off that was used as a carrier for the silicone. After that I would say (not an expert in this) that it wouldn't be any more flammable than regular canvas. I believe silicone in of itself to be flame resistant... Though I don't think this reduces the chance of the canvas catching fire... Hope this helps! I have reached these opinions from talk to people and general info on silicone.

Unfortunately I didn't film that process. I started with a MK2 grenade 3d design and basically made a negative of it in tinkercad then adding the various other features like the tabs for alignment and the spouts for the foam injection and expansion. Hopefully that description helps a little bit!

@@wamindustries It does, thank you so much! 😃😃🙏🙏

I'm not sure... It depends really on how you take care of it... I cut it's life short when I got bleach on it. I would expect it to last longer than many of the wax related waterproofing options or the waterproofing in the standard options at most box stores

@wamindustries thank you. Looking at alternative ways to cover a shelterlogic & came across this technique. Either way helpful to know for camping purposes!

Thanks for the tip! I may give that a try in a future project. I think I've seen someone do something like what your describing.

Hmm... That might be interesting for me to look into

😁... That would be nice

So true!!! Wow... This print finished with only a inch of filament left... No swap this time.

Thanks!!!

I believe it's a 12 x 16 canvas... Reality it's over 6 inches smaller each way with the seams and grommets. Weather hasn't been favorable to me working on the tent outside so I'm having to wait until I get some time with clear weather.

I bet that silicone spray would work well!

That's a really good question, unfortunately I do not know the answer. I just did it in small batches until the project was done. Doing a large batch would probably make things easier and faster.

Thanks! I used them for a whole season. I am actually going to be installing them again for the next season soon.

I personally prefer a bandsaw over many other power saw options. Table saws are usually people's go to options for this type of application as it creates more of a finished edge... Also harder to get a straight cut, but the clamp guide as a rip fence works to solve this issue.

Thanks!!! I thought the same when my Grandfather taught me this hack.

Thanks! It's great having options for solving problems!

Hmm... I'll have to look into that!

That's a good option... Haven't yet come up with a solution for that one either.

😜🤣😂😂
