Fully concealable combat knife that'd be legal to carry for a minor in germany. In other words less than 12cm of blade, single edged and as flat as possible to prevent printing.

I took a piece of steel (old machine file), sketched on my blade (I chose a sheepsfoot for easy sharpening) and a rough shape for the handle, cut it out with an angle grinder, adjusted the handle until it felt right, then ground the blade at low rpm.

Why? sheepsfoot brings the pointline at an angle, making stabbing easier. Kinda like those kabar tdi meme knifes, except with a straight blade. Also increases wound size compared to a spear or tanto point, as the blade cuts through the whole stab. Only downside is that it penetrates slightly less, but unless you're expecting armor or thick winter clothing, that's not a problem.
Besides, german medieval combat knifes were mostly sheepsfeet to. I doubt people would have stuck with the design for a thousand years if it did not work.

did you do the concrete yourself? I have a similar building with a gravel floor I want to concrete. I was thinking maybe I could work on it slowly and do sections at a time every year or something.

[Anonymous No.1857048]

>>1856992

There is a 30x50 section in the main building that is heated and insulated that we had help pouring when we put the building up, but all the other concrete we did ourselves. We just dug out the dirt floor inside and poured it in sections like you are planning. And then after we got all the inside done we moved to the slab outside.

We did all the pours but the last one with a vibratory screed we built with a 2 hp motor and an offset weight set on a couple of boards to span the forms. It worked pretty good, but that first outside pour was just too damn much and about killed us. So I built a roller screed for that last pour and it was so much easier. We just bull floated the pours we did and edged them with an edging trowel so its not the smoothest finish in the world, but it works for shop stuff! Then we came back and made some saw cuts for cracking after it had cured up a bit. Only had a couple places where it has cracked in a spot that wasn't a saw cut.

Not bad for a few rednecks...

Because driving a desirable vehicle, particularly one you’ve sunk a lot of time, work, and money into, fills you with Constant anxiety. You always feel like you’re about to be slammed into by some dumb teenager more preoccupied with their phone than driving or, even worse, that you’ll do something stupid or that you’ve already done something stupid like to the brakes or whatever and something awful will happen to your precious car.

You folks are fucking up if there's very much rock there.

Breaking rocks is easy. Man has been doing it since the dawn of time.

I loaded out 1,400 ton in 1 day last week. Roughly $10 a ton. Not sure what overhead is but my wages, wear and tear, and fuel for the loader is well under $100,000 a year. That was a $14,000 day and there's very few days i sit bored. Not even at work 1.5 hours and I've sold roughly 150 tons. $1,500 and i haven't even finished my coffee.

The crew this go around puts out 5,000 ton a day on a good day. They were here about 90 days last time. I'd say conservative average of 4,000 ton a day and 25 days off. So 65 x 4,000 ton x $10 a ton. 2.6 mill.

They are pretty heavily invested in good equipment but sumbitch. I'd never take 5 cents a ton to watch my money drive away.

Of course. In the future, I'd like to work with better material as well. I had no experience working maple before this and it's a fairly tricky wood at times. Still, from this one project I learned much, so I am content.

An experienced man will tell you everything can be taken away but your mind. All your planning and preparation can be thrown out in an instant, and what remains is who you are and what you've learned. As someone who's lived both rich and poor, I can tell you what matters most is your mind and who you're with. I was happier and stronger when I was struggling.

you charged your friend $300 for an unfinished coffee table? Were they being charitable to you?

[Anonymous No.1868650]

They actually expected it to cost a lot more. It's all solid soft maple with traditional joinery, without a single power tool touching it once it left the lumber yard. I just wanted to give them presentable before my buddy got deployed. Once I finished resawing the boards for the top and lower shelf, I rushed myself through 3 days of good work to get it done on time, with a fair amount of minor injuries along the way. They love it, but every time I look at it, I see a new mistake I made.

>I was happier and stronger when I was struggling.

This isnt about you and your mental constitution
This is about your young kids in their formative years, where your kids have to live, what your kids have to eat, their ability for extra curricular activity, their ability to have quality time with their parents, the parents relationship, and the overall stability of all those things and more

Sure you can send mom to work, you can work overtime or maybe 2 crappy jobs because times are tough
You may be mentally tough enough to handle it, but it stresses and strains every other part of your life directly affecting your child

Is there a chance you could lose it all overnight?
Sure
Is that justification for young adults who dont have a stable life to have a bunch of kids because "youll never truly be ready?"
Nope
Poor people literally need shamed out of having kids, I dont feel one ounce of shame saying it
People are quite literally better off never being born than some of these households they are shoved into

Bitchin. Need one of them myself.

I can't find a pic at the moment but back in 2014 I built a 300B stereo tube amp loosely based on the Western Electric 91B. Has Edcor power/output transformers, 660VAC oil filled motor run capacitors for the filters/couplers, and a remote.

Not best, but favorite /diy/ was only made possible with the help from /ohm/ and /ham/ when they found me some replacement capacitors for my old TIG welder HF circuit. I couldn't get the originals had no idea what to look for, but some anons found surplus soviet radio capacitors that were way overkill but work great and were like $15 a piece. Thing welds like a dream going on a few years now I think.

Yup, that roller screed made that last pour a breeze. I actually need to do some more concrete work someday, so I'll throw an engine back on it and try it out again!
