  1. shut of the lectricity and bit coin/ crypto is gone. it is absolutely nothing, thin air my friend.
  2. if your going to take the time and do two layers then glue rough to rough, make it pretty, make it a tight fit and you wont have problems. Realistically you will lose the knife because of the clip before it will ever fall out of the sheath un noticed. As other said I would rethink the iwb unless you are really skinny and real tall.
  3. yes 5 kids, four over 20 plus me and my wife to help her through this. They take turns staying with her. Nothing trumps family lol. Wound vac and picc lines are managed strictly through the experts, nurses don't even touch them here. I have a repair kits for leaks but that is all I do with that. It isn't hard to see on strangers but when its connected to my daughter with a six inch hole in her stomach its a different story. Life goes on, this time its a happy ending for us.
  4. medicine has come a ways now home ivs come in a little pressurized ball that need no pumps or have problems with air. I almost forgot I also now know how to clean a stoma and fit a colostomy bag. We have to go back twice a week to get her wound vac changed which is a two hour trip both ways. We still have a lot of time before she is well and life is semi normal again for me, never normal again for her. if your interested in some newer medical stuff. infusion balls https://www.progressivemedinc.com/our-products/epic/ picc line https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/picc-line/about/pac-20468748 wound vac https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wound+vac+&t=chromentp&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZourpoEOoT0
  5. God bless you my friend, you and yours as well.
  6. thank you for the prayers!!!! but dang man i just spent 12 days eating city food and you sent me this LOL. OH well I'm home now and mama is feeding me again .
  7. Thank you for the prayers and good words. I can now add to my resume packing open wounds, cleaning a JP drain tube, and administering iv antibiotics. all of which I really had no intention to learn in my lifetime. But I made a promise to her 40 years ago to keep her safe. Stay safe in that weather.
  8. thank you my friend!! My mom loved St. patty's day, she had a green plastic necklace with a shot glass on it she wore every year, she didn't use it really. She passed two days before Patty's day. I wear it every year now and have a shot for her and myself. That old BBQ is a classic better than what you can buy now. Enjoy life !!
  9. thank you!!! prayers are what pulled her through this ordeal. God is great!
  10. Hang in there my friend and enjoy a meal made just for yourself your mum would say so too I'll bet. I've been staying with my daughter who had emergency surgery, thought she was dead, she was in the hospital 28 days and me 12 by her side. I'll be off and on as she is home now but still needs our help. I almost missed springtime lol the grass is a foot tall in my yard. Stay safe love your dad and bbq for mum.
  11. not trying to color anything for anyone I'm just trying to make you see that tool is unsafe at best. Like the signs(others posted) say a lost eye or missing body is much more unpleasant than I will ever make your day with a few words. But hopefully you will take heed and at least listen to them. i can only judge your abilities by what you put out there but above and beyond that I've taught hundreds of illiterate inmates how to use every tool imaginable. I never once told one of them to just give it go with a power tool without proper training. I'm sorry if your offended but i cant with good conscience tell you or anyone on the planet for that matter that hopping onto this machine without training is a good idea. As you admit not having any experience with any tools above the few leather tools you have bought especially power tools of this nature. I have no problem staying out of your threads. ignore button is your friend as it is mine. Good luck
  12. Thanks mine is too, thinking up the design sometimes takes days lol Orchid drew this with a stylus right on the leather, other than the letters being kinda wonky she made few mistakes. She routinely sketches with a pen, how does a person do that without erasing lol?? thanks friend
  13. thank you it was great fun working together and I couldn't have done it justice lol. she spent four hours painting it.
  14. thanks you yes her thing is really digital art work she can draw some really cool stuff.
  15. lol thanks yea i had to put on the bifocals to see how far she went.
  16. thanks guys!! thanks !!
  17. Someone loses an eye and the first thing the lawyers will ask is who told you to run this with absolutely no experience. I didn't pay 30 years on my house to give it away. Although I don't doubt a persons ability to learn to use a dangerous tool all i have to go on is what they write, if they say they cant do this or that or have no experience then I'm not going to suggest they just jump in and get er done. I try to err on caution and safety. A buffer is one of those tools I feel you need hands on teaching. If it hurts a feeling waah to bad I don't care but that person isn't going to be physically hurt because i told them to do something they don't have the skill set for.
  18. thanks guys it was her first attempt she did well i think.
  19. My daughter drew this out last year and then forgot about it. I was bored so grabbed it the other day and did the knife work and tooling for her then she colored it using only red, blue, green and yellow dyes. She mixed the colors herself even the dark brown is made with those four colors. I can tell you if you want an exercise in the swivel knife and some good practice then send her a chunk of leather lol I about went cross eyed.
  20. Awesome idea! a guy could set that in a handle you could whack with a mallet then you wouldn't need two.
  21. Thanks guys sometimes we forget some folks just don't know and when we suggest learning to use dangerous tools or harmful chemicals we should always also think of the safety measures and acknowledge those as well. an open wheeled buffer is possibly the most dangerous tool in the shop mainly because it just doesn't look dangerous, mine stuck a knife blank three inches into the wall. Working inmates my whole life I've seen my share of stoopid accidents as well none are fun some are deadly.
  22. Learning is a good thing and why we are all here. I was only making a point, you actually used all those negatives yourself in the thread to several folks who take the time to offer you the knowledge you ask for. When you do this to some "old timers" they say well then figure it out yourself and quit helping . A simple thanks for the suggestion is much nicer than a silly excuse for not acknowledging the suggestions. NUf said for me too.
  23. I will add the bobbin base and the arm length are both fundamental to timing the machine. Bobbin base location and the two bolts are what can alter the timing but its pretty easy to time them if some thing does go wrong.
  24. check in this order!!!! take out the bobbin and see if that is stuck take out the bobbin holder with a pair of tweezers see if that is stuck, replace it in exactly the same position it came out it there should be a plate under the arm and bobbin it has the bobbin base pin attached to it, take it off and see what you can then if you still don't see what's hanging it up it may be necessary to take off the arm. take it off by removing the three bolts underneath the arm and take it off. last thing is if you do have to take off the bobbin shaft from the bearing block then mark the location of those two bolts( shown as left of the bearing in the pictures) before you loosen them so you can maintain the timing of the machine.
