New here and love live music. Saw blues travler the other week and getting ready for Modest Mouse. Last big one was my chemical romance. Love metal. Blues... Most all of it. Shows I am grateful to have seen... B. B. King and I got to see Tom Petty.
Greatest regret... Gave up pink Floyd tickets
Biggest festival... Incarceration
Got a kegerator and a sixtel of my fave beer Perrin Black. I only like it from the tap and tomorrow is my birthday. Love this! Used my Shaun of the dead Winchester pint glass for 1st pour.
Crazy thing about the kegerator is when we got it the bracket from the door was bent. Called Amazon and they had footage showing it was mishandled during shipping. Their guy had it sideways and tipped it up on the corner where we had the dent. They said keep it and sent us another one.
Temp range is 200 - 500 seems very accurate. The bar scale lets u know if it's at full heat
Is this a old lid lifter or some other cast iron tool? It's a really weird random find from work and looks completely unrelated to my job (injection molding). It has an old thin leather hanger strap and is absolutely cast iron.
My company offers attendance rewards you can save up and get things. Finally had enough points to get my indoor Blackstone. We got the 22" table top propane outsidebut wanted the electric
So we got this really crappy job. It's a takeover from a company that went under. It's a left and right hand (unbalanced) part. Hard shot then robot takes the hard shot out and sticks in in the tops for a soft shot over mold seal. This mold was rough when we got it. Venting sucks, it has 12 drops, 53 HR zones and only the soft shot is valve gated.
Last night I was battling shorts, EOF burns (they were calling them shorts to), bubbles and flash all on the left hand only. Right hand looked great. I finally got acceptable parts on the left hand. But the crazy thing is with all the adjustments, nothing ever messed up on the right hand side. Soft shot is sanoprene. Not recalling exactly what the hard shot is as all the problems were in the soft shot.
I don't get how regardless of how short or flashed the left hand was the right hand was fine. The soft shot is a side shot setup.
The job we normally run in this press rotates so the hard shot never leaves the mold untill it rotates and gets the soft shot. On this tool the robot picks the hard shot and moves it up to get the soft shot and it's held in place by in mold suction.
I got ideas to work on the burns and am thinking we should maybe push the knit lines around with valve gate timers. But just not getting why nothing effected the right hand. Any ideas? This mold weighs 17k so it's no small job
I've never seen this happen before. The screens changed to a blue background.
This is the side shot monitor on a 2 barrel press with a rotating plate
I was straightening up my tool box and I keep chopsticks in my top drawer. Whenever I think of it at a Chinese buffet I grab an extra set and used them to clean down into spaces I can't reach. It got thinking, what's your odd hack?
Picked up this fridge magnet for a handy reference. How accurate does this look to y'all?
This is a brinkman smoke n' grill. It was my qat smoker and I got it a long time ago out of an award catalog at work. It's served me well, but it has zero heat regulation. A very tiny access door and a charcoal pan that is small and just a closed bowl. It's really hard to actually smoke to completion. Also really hard to restock the water pan and charcoal. I usually finish the last bit of my smokes in the oven. It has zero air vents top or bottom.
We got the side box last year, cheap, but was a great introduction to side boxes and we know what to better look for.
I've been looking around and it seems there's bullets out there that are pretty good. I like the idea of the webber smoky mountain one. Who loves their bullets? What do you love about them? I initially wanted a different smoker, but seeing the features of the smokey mountain one, I think I want to keep this style.
We also have a kettle grill and a Blackstone
About to throw the brisket in the bullet and got a bunch of chicken marinading to grill up later and veggies for the grill
At least now I don't have to pickup a 50lb stack of cast iron for a single pan
So I see ppl using chainmail. A lot of it is the big ring chainmail. Thought I'd share mine. I've used the kind made from the big rings and I like this fine (small ring) chainmail better, really knocks stuff off and can be pretty scrubby. It's made by Knapp and thought I'd share another option.
