Great pics. Yes, that's right, a bit of gap. Plenty of wood to wood contact for the two pieces to glue together permanent (as you point out). A perfectly tight fit isn't needed, and would give folks trouble. And when it's centered it's less than 1/16", pretty close.
The glue in the next step...
Yep, a solid surface is a must. If you are hitting against something that can rebound, well you will just be bouncing. I use a 16 oz. hammer for peening the flare over, I have a much heavier hammer but you want to bend metal a little at a time as I say in the instructions. Even knowing how hard...
Sorry, I missed post #514 in the above furball above.
No problem with your installation. Occasionally I do the same, an extra (1/4) turn or two and it's snug and right, sanding gets thing flush. No, it can't break anything, just threads digging in. Groovy, I will try to post some help about...
There are many factors involved in comparative analysis, the wood species is certainly involved. Even your altitude or ambient relative humidity may effect the experience, the room temperature is a big variable, along with draw speed, and material used and it's condition. Mass used, and time...
It was one or the other. I was being nice assuming you were stoned... But no you are here to cause trouble.
Yeah, I thought you sounded familiar (what name did you used to go by?), same old song, that I should be making PDs. Well it's Saturday and I am, but I stop for lunch and dinner and I...
Getting the threads lined up isn't critical, the jack threads will dig into the wood (even if a little crooked) and will firm up then the glue sets up and it's not going anywhere.
Pammy has seen me start threads backwards on many occasions, screwing in a light bulb etc. and sometimes has said...
Thanks, OrganicVapor, and welcome to the forum. It's a furball somedays.
I didn't think anybody was getting impatient, but an earlier poster, tried to mislead, or was too stoned to post, so I wanted to explain the time-line. Everything is on track.
Pammy e-mails tracking info in the evening...
I think a lot of folks see 15 days as three weeks, too. Hey it's week three, dude... (sorta). It's a drive thru, get it now world. Understandable in 2010. But when I say three weeks I mean 21 days +., four weeks is 28 +. :2c:
And when I say I just dropped off more cherry, that's stuff for...
^^^ and you know there is a lot more to that story than that.
No postal service in Port Orford on Saturday, :cool: so relax till Monday at least, Organic Vapor. We are currently running between 21-30 days. Just came back from the laser man, we dropped off more cherry for him to work with. All...
^^^ Konrad doesn't seem able to distinguish one plastic from another.
Again, as with other posts, Polycarbonate is #7 and Polypropylene is #5.
They are not the same at all and #7 is the one with the Bisphenols and all the problems with baby bottles etc... We use #5 Polypropylene. As pointed...
Glad you enjoyed the build Bstar. :) Great pics of the Bison, it is my favorite.
About the :buzz: Buzz-Butter:
It is made with Bee's Wax from the Tahuya River Apiary, they are a chemical free beekeeper. It's the only Bees wax we have ever used. Not the cheapest. We use it because we trust the...
Or you can go to any tobacco store and get some stainless steel screens. They will be too big but you can probably get four PD screens out of each one. Plain old household scissors will cut the screen. Cut the screen into a square of the right width first, then nibble away at the corners till...
Yes, nice find. Thanks.

Polypropylene is a is a hydrocarbon chain (polymer). It is subject to breakdown from UV, heat or chemicals (or other means). The complex hydrocarbon chain can be broken and oxidation and other actions can form new compounds (that weren't there to start with). But you have to break the molecule...
"especially considering that the polypro seems to be claiming to be free of something that it isn't for whatever reason (tainted product, flat out lie.....who knows?)"
Not sure why you say that... Polypropylene is a substance. Polypropylene is an inanimate object, it can't make claims...
The Bison has a very pronounced topography. Sorta like Elephant hide but on a smaller scale.
I paid about triple what I normally pay for hide on this one, but figured it might be worth it, lucky guess, it's very nice. But it's a limited quantity thing. just a few square feet as you can see...
Beechvapor, glad to see you know how to foot note.
First footnote: is from a single case study in which the test polymer was heated to 250 degrees C. 482 F... The herbal load in a stainless bowl is heated to about 380-385F. The stainless contacting the #5 PP is cooled by it's own thermal...
