this board is circling the drain. I've got 61 threads hidden, and yet right now my first page has 3 obviously joke threads, plus 2 semi-moronic threads about repairing a broken exhaust pipe and squaring a stack of paper.
Life couldn't be better in PrepHole land.
Only 61? I have 106 currently
LMAO you hide this one?
everything is garbage the only reason I'm still here is because there aren't better online alternatives. might as well go to the library

What the heckin' HECK?!?!? YOU CANT DO THAT!!!! You have to leave the shitty broken bits of metal alone!!! They have to keep rusting and looking ugly because that's HISTOROCAL!!!!!! Don't repair, repaint, and make it like new!!!! That defeats the heckin' point!!!!!!! Suddenly it becomes a working piece of history instead of a shitty rusty hunk of junk that nobody cares about!!!!!!!!
this is the most soulless shit I think I've ever seen
There were like 1 or 2 machinists on youtube that had interesting videos where they restored things. The interesting bits were that you got to see them do their work; they would machine new parts for stuff that had rusted to shit, do intense dent removal, precision shit. Like dudes that would actually throw stock on a lathe and make new bolts to match the originals, mill a piece to replicate some weird part, cut out rusted metal and weld in patches, etc. But that got popular and then the flood of copycats came along that basically do what the other anon said, buy some rusted to shit antique, take it apart, strip/sand it, body filler everywhere, replace missing parts with ebay shit, super thick paint job, then done. The end result is cheap looking bullshit and it’s boring to watch but they still get views because no one gives a shit about anything anymore
Don't forget to cover any exposed metal with the CRC SP-350 Rust Inhibitor

And then I made a fat profit from ad revenue
Not even, they sell it on their "store" for 30k to some silicon valley bearded redditor
The fricking bowl turners are the worst. They’ll take some rare or old piece of wood, fill it with epoxy, then put it in their shitty lathe and jam metal rods into it until it’s a shitty bowl you can buy at Ross and then sell it to some middle aged white b***h for like $500 so she can put foam apples in it and put it on a table in her entryway.
I hate woodturners so much.
I have two lathes dildo breath. I turn nice pieces of wood occasionally I've wanted to do segmented turnings or something else in acrylic but I've always stopped myself first because I just don't have the time to pour epoxy around something vacuum it so the bubbles come out and then start turning it.
Pat said I've got a lot of nice turning wood around some dogwood yew wood, juniper, red and yellow cedar burls. But those last ones are too beautiful just to turn most of it into shavings.
The Dogwood I got about 40 years ago at Lee Valley tools. I ran into a jazz drummer I knew from Vancouver and he wanted some crisper drums sounds that would carry a bit better so I made him some to duplicate the sound of his really expensive but unavailable Rosewood ones. What was funny is I got a call from a guy trying to get in touch with me who wanted similar drumsticks, and he agreed to meet me in Vancouver, and I give him the name of a coffee shop we could meet at but he said that I could meet him at his place of work since it was related to the request. The guy was Chris Slade formerly of Manfred Mann I think, and he was in town recording with AC/DC as their session drummer for The Razor's Edge album. I brought along a few concept ones that I did he'd used them for a half an hour told me what he liked what he didn't like and I brought him back a couple more pairs 3 days later and he said they were almost perfect they just needed to be balanced for weight. So I ended up making 22 pairs of them and I was careful to balance them off to a couple of grams each so we wouldn't have a problem with them.
The pic is what's left of the 70 or so pairs that I of blanks that I bought. On top is some boxwood shorts that I harvested from a house being demolished. One of those pieces of boxwood was is nearly thick around as my thigh and a guy in the UK name of Holtey but the two biggest pieces for just over 1,500 pound sterling.
As a person who does woodworking, I hate the epoxy fill technique. The river the pond etc etc. It's an extremely dated technique now. I'm glad it's virtually dead.
All it is is just a way for these so-called Lumber salesman to sell these rotted pieces of shit for anything other than firewood.
