DO YOU HAVE PLASTIC OR RUBBER PARTS STICKING ON YOUR SHOP TOOLS?
DON”T spray them with WD40...
You can damage the plastic over time…
⬇️ Use this instead! ⬇️
Cheers!

If you have the air compressor to power it, die grinder all the way. A die grinder will be able to push larger carbide bits that a Dremel won't be able to.
However, if you don't already have an air compressor, a Dremel is a fantastic little tool.

Cool sandbox!
Oh sorry, the boiled linseed oil is used for the burned siding as a protection coat. I am learning that the more traditional finishes like varnish and oil weather WAY better than the water based modern finishes they sell now and if they do weather, they look good.
They are sold under the name of Japanese cedar. If that is the same wood, they use them as siding in Japan with a burned finish.
If you are interested in how I installed the cedar pickets for my shop siding.
Here is one of my videos that explains the siding system.
Cheers!

Thank you! The pickets ended up being one of the more inexpensive options (but one of the best looking).
I will probably be staining and sealing them with linseed oil for protection.
Just about finished with the siding on my shop!
I am using cedar fence pickets in a board and batten fashion.
The seams in the vertical pickets are cut at a 45 degree angle in order to shed water.
The siding will be a major milestone down, next is sheetrock!
If you have seen my videos, you will see the open framing on the inside.

There is a good chance that ancient civilizations had machine technology.
In Egypt, evidence of core drills can be found with advance rates comparable to modern times.
They know this because they can count the cutter scratches.
All of this is “overlooked” by modern $cience.
Just get one of the apps that give you the questions for the test and continually take the practice tests. When you feel you are ready go in and take the real test.
My advice is go ahead and take the general license test. The general allows access to the HF bands. They are the most fun as they propagate much further than UHF VHF.
Yep, K5ION here!
Some Bitcoin / Nostr innovation ideas / use cases :
1. Zap Payment Service as “other stuff” or lightning payment services
Create a payment service with zap, along with its api/posse (?) to be integrated with global services or a simpler way for nodes to be integrated by businesses and general users
Use cases : gamers using ios and android can use zaps for micropayment instead of faux money alongside nostr community chat options. Primal/Damus has shown how zaps are possible on ios
2. Create a freedom oriented client
specifically for oppressed countries who need easy adoption and private mode conversations. While Nostr is a protocol, this client can have all features dedicated towards people from these countries (requires studying what they need)
3. Explore B2B opportunity with Nostr
There’s YouTube premier, TV, Red, Originals, free with ads etc. Maybe propose one to YT where people pay as they please using zaps, no ads and chat avenues ?
Maybe various businesses like media could be clients of Nostr with similar chat and zap features (B2B) - with private relays if needed.
4. Tidal /Nostr Battle of the Bands
Attendees buy their tickets as usual. And they will be redirected to install wallet where ticket price will be converted to sats.
The goal is to zap sats and the highest zaps win.
In this case this could also be a bitcoin minted token so that token owner can take back (rug pull) the money at the end of the evening (to encourage attendees to zap the winners at the concert).

5. Establishing end to end encryption or de identifying of data for B2C businesses to protect customers data from forceful surrender to govt, leaks, spams etc. I love DID’s latest initiative to make their approach more commonly used.
6. Exploring EMF to cater to smaller movements (home based hydro or wind) to produce higher powered generators for home miners. I have been having a maxwell moment.
7. Collaborating with developers and solar installers to setup home base mining systems for new homes as an advantage to home buyers. Normalise home mining systems
8. Foreign workers globally : while remittance is an issue, an emerging problem is limited access to digital wallets within the country they are working in - as their identity doesn’t count. Expanding bitcoin wallets without kyc and liaising with businesses to accept them
9. More Bitcoin integrator to online commerce, to foster competition which will boost innovation. There is a huge miss opportunity to enable bitcoin as common denominator in global commerce
10. Might be easier to explore widespread bitcoin adoption in countries US imports and exports from to encourage its acceptance in U.S. for small business owners (import countries - Mexico, Vietnam etc).
11. Elevating small manufacturers by reducing banking hurdles and commerce and in hopes to minimise hegemony trade (my hope someday)
12. Some other things that might be relevant :
- Anonymity on Nostr - more clients that can be connected to Tor or other ways to protect user visibility. Oppressive countries can be brutal.
- to split private relays from general relays that uses gossip and provide uses the option for asynchronous / mutually exclusive selections between general and private
I’m sure the feasibility of use cases requires a lot more through through process. But with every problem there is opportunity.
I would love to see more Bitcoin and Nostr use cases globally. I’ll add on to the thread as more ideas pop up.
Some very good ideas!
Quick Tip:
When you are trying to match up bolts or figure out if the threads match.
Line up the threads on the two bolts. (Like the picture)
If the threads interlock and mesh with each other, the bolts at least are the same thread pitch.
Then you compare the diameter.
If they are not the same thread, then they won’t fit together.
This is a quick way of finding out if you have the same size bolts.
Very handy when you have a mix of SAE and Metric threads.

Only getting more overtly satanic.
It seems sketchy, however, it is very stable and very easy to make and setup. The walk boards are screwed to the angles. It was fine with me... and I don't really want to splatter myself! 😬
Just leaning against, the 2x6 that goes to the ground forces it against the wall. You can walk them up or down the wall as needed. It is very stable if the walk boards are screwed into the angles.
Found this scaffold system on the internet.
It works very well despite looking like it wouldn’t work.
FYI: I was tied off to the safety cable! It would have been a 14 foot fall.
