We needed to replace an old 1/2"-12 bolt that was missing from our Challenge guillotine cutter. (12 threads per inch is not standard, 13 is, so new 1/2"-13 bolts don't fit.) Turns out that an old British size is a suitable replacement. British Standard Wh

Silver Thread Falls is the smaller of two falls at the Dingman's Falls area in Pennsylvania's Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
This was shot under poor conditions for waterfall photos. Silver Thread is in a gorge that looks like something from Jurassic Park and it was early afternoon on a sunny day. The dappled light coming through the trees created an array of bright and dark spots. I don't think I would have had anything usable if not for making a 5-exposure series and blending it in HDR software (Photomatix).

He used a 3D nylon sintering printer. I figured it should be able to be made by hand.
My mistake was kerfing the sticks. I did it so that I could have slots to put the strings in. Unfortunately this a) allowed the sticks to bend more then they would've otherwise, b) made it so that the strings were "split." Each colour essentially flows down two "plains" instead of one. Oh well.

It's HOT out! But that doesn't mean you should have to break a sweat in your Cadillac. I invested some time into making that a reality once again for this car.
This car was "retrofitted" to R134a in 2004. From the time that I owned it, performance was forgivable until the outside temperature got into the mid 80s and above, or parking in the sun for an extended period of time. Basically it exhibited all of the flaws of a converted car. When it was really hot out, the AC was a bad joke, especially when driving slowly. After exhausting everything else, the only choice was to go back to R12.
I had never done any real AC work besides the occasional charge with a can until the air coming out "felt good." I wanted to have an AC shop do everything, but no one in my area does anything with R12 anymore. I was definitely nervous, as, despite it sucking, the 134 system didn't leak at all. I found that it really wasn't that bad, and I would do it again if I had to.
This is what everything looked like before I started. The compressor was changed in 1991...R4's are not known to live that long so it was definitely going to be replaced. I bought an ancient but new Harrison 200 on Ebay some years ago in preparation for this. Here it is getting ready oiled and ready to spin for the first time in decades! Hopefully it will hold up.
At some point the evaporator core was replaced, evidenced by the black goop sealing the box. I wasn't sure of it's condition so I was going to replace it too (it wan't in bad shape and was probably a waste to anyone who might be considering undertaking something like this). I'm glad I did it because the way the box was sealed really wasn't the best and was probably sacrificing some efficiency. I didn't take any pictures of the box itself, but the sealant that was used was a nightmare to remove completely. This was really the worst part of the job, as whoever did it last must have bought stock in the sealant company. Even the drain was filled full of the stuff
So I'm not sure how exactly it was draining before (it did drain though, no standing condensate) There is a bolt that holds the bottom of the HVAC box to the firewall, just about where the passenger's left foot would rest that goes behind the carpet, through to the engine bay. This bolt was missing, and the box was surprisingly...you guessed it, glued to the firewall with about a 1/2 tube of sealant! I was able to find a nut and bolt that was appropriate to hold the box as it was designed to. While I was behind the carpet, I also noticed this.
This rubber plug has 3 vacuum lines running through it. Mine was loose, so much so that if one shined a light at the firewall from under the hood it would come through the car. It was a bitch to get a grasp on and seat back into position. I had no idea that it was there, much less that it was loose and causing an air leak into the car right by one of the manifold-to-Y pipes. I only mention this because I told my buddy about it who owns a 1985 car and his was just kinda dangling there like mine was. Worth looking at if you own a car of this era. I had to use two pair of tiny needlenose to put enough power on it to pop it back in.
There was nothing really wrong with the lines or condenser, so they would be flushed out, 134a-dapters removed, mineral oiled and put back into service. At an HVAC pro's recommendation, I used RX11 AC flush. Nasty stuff, but did a great job. It is really important to get the 134a oil out of the system, along with any garbage that may have accumulated over the years. My job was made easier by tons of green dye that was in the system.
The orifice tube is supposed to collect physical contaminants. They really shouldn't be that dirty, provided you're not working with a car that had a blown compressor. No idea how old this tube was, but it was not bad.
Once I had the system flushed, I put everything back together using one of those AC o-ring kits. My mechanic checked it for leaks, and then vacuumed it down. Finally I was ready to charge! I was excited, and regrettably forgot to take pictures of the process (I even bought a gauge set). Anyway, the only one more excited than me was the car!
Can you see the cold?
Vent temps are in the mid 40's around town, NYC. Figure 90 +/- 5 and very humid. On the highway, I've seen as low as 37, but no lower. Of note, these measurements were taken from the center vents using a digital temp sensor, not a vent thermometer. Regardless, of the vent temp, the car itself is actually cool inside which is something I remember about R12 that even newer cars that have much more consistent performance seem to lack. Ice coming out of the vents, but you have to be in the airflow to actually be cool. Not so anymore. I'm so pleased with this, and kinda shocked that it worked! To anyone contemplating AC work, I recommend watching this guy's videos, especially this one

It helped me out a lot (read: gave me confidence to tear into an air conditioning system) I'll be back with an unrelated update sometime soon, and I don't mean 3 months soon like last time!

My thread is in the second drawer in my sewing cabinet. I used a package of long golf tees and a piece of pegboard cut to fit the drawer. I put a bit of glue on the golf tee and pushed it up from the bottom side of the peg board. I only used every other hole so there would be room for my spools. Once the golf tees were in place, I let it dry overnight.
To keep the bobbins and spools together, I put the bobbin on the peg and pop the thread spool on top of it.
I found this suggestion on a quilting forum when I looked for thread racks.
For now, I only have thread in half of my drawer. I can add more golf tees when I need more storage. Until then, I store my sandpaper board and a dozen pieces of felt in the drawer. I use the felt to lay out block pieces.

When I came across this store on Etsy I had to give these a try. At €18 for 24 balls I couldn't resist! They did take a while to get to Holland from Paraguay(!) but that was to be expected.
I haven't tried them yet but they sure look lovely! (there are 2 balls each of 12 different colourways)

This Tangled Thread Moss (Hygroamblystegium varium = Amblystegium varium) was growing on a rock next to Cascade Run. I had not seen this moss before even though it had previously been reported for Howard County, Maryland. Cascade Trail, Patapsco Valley State Park, Maryland.
Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.

Betalent carbide threading insert selection tips: 1, Internal threading or external threading. 2, The profile and pitch of workpiece thread. There is no rough and fine turning for thread turning tool, but the depth of the insert decreases gradually in the cutting process to meet the requirements of fine turning. In order to improve the productivity of thread turning tools, there are not only single blade, but also double blade, three blade, pipe thread is also equipped with comb.
Generally, there are classified to external threading insert and internal threading insert, in different threading systems, General 60°, general 55°，ISO metric, UN, STACME, API, W, NPT,BSPT, ACME,ABUT and UNJ.

這種古早的美容術，運用細棉線和白粉將臉上多餘雜毛、粉刺及角質層去除的手藝，在台灣被稱作「挽面」，廣州人習慣稱「界面」，中國大陸北方則叫作「絞面」或「絞臉」，此外還有「拉面」、「開臉」等等稱法，而無論稱法如何不同，光就字面意義可知，指的是同一種在臉上做大掃除的古早美容術。

These are hand crocheted potholders, some early and some recent, but all beautiful. I began to collect them when I found one for $2 at an antique store/flea market. I had already found a hotpad with soda pop tops crocheted in and I thought they went together. Having an inexpensive item to look for means I get to go to antique malls and look around. It's such fun.
