General Board / Re: The weather 2024
Last post by Ljohnsaw - Today at 10:47:17 AMLight rain right now in the valley and dry up the hill. Supposed to get an inch or so today and 5-10" of snow up at my property. 🫤 So much for hauling my gear up the hill on Monday!

The Outdoor Board / Re: Fishin
Last post by olcowhand - Today at 09:58:50 AMHere's one time I got to be like @doc henderson .... Wherein I was actually part of the solution instead of well, you know.
Sometime >20 years ago, I was Steelhead fishing on the Manistee River- and an older gentleman approached me and asked for help. He had a 7-8 lb Steelhead, an ~8 lb Wad of sinkers, line & Hooks and the meaty part of his right ring finger- all well connected with the barb clearly showing on the wrong side of the wound. The fish was exceedingly anxious to make known her protestations as a participant of this "Cluster" (we'll leave that word right where it is for now, you can add more to it in the privacy of your own noggin), and was attempting quite vigorously to extricate herself from this activity.
I had been given a Leatherman by my bride a few years earlier, and when this gentleman asked if I had anything on me that would cut this hook- I immediately thought of this tool.
Well, some hooks are pretty hard- and it required quite a bit of effort to finally cut the hook. The man wasted no time in dispatching the fish and added it to his stringer.
I still have that Leatherman. I know that they can repair these, as it's very hard to open this one with the cutting edges bent over- but I chose to leave it as a memento. I'd rather have it as a memory of one time I was actually able to help someone that was in a situation I hope to never be in......

General Board / Re: Post office troubles.
Last post by Sixacresand - Today at 09:37:09 AMIn Georgia, there have been negative news articles about the Postal Service. According to the news, some local post offices are only open part time. And all our mail goes to a new central processing building in Atlanta. If I mail letter to somebody in my town, then it goes up to Atlanta and back. Before the new Atlanta place, the mail would to to Macon and back. Before that, the local postal worker would take a couple of steps and put it in a PO box.

General Woodworking / Re: Watcha Makin'?
Last post by Old Greenhorn - Today at 09:18:40 AMAustin, do I see a bend on the end of that shaft? If so, you are going to have to register the shaft with the head to present the correct angle on the club head. If not, then Nevermind. 
You have a tough row to hoe here because you are trying to put a 3/8 thread inside a 3/8 OD shaft. The math doesn't work well for you here. As Doug suggested, turning down the thread to slip inside that shaft would be the way to go, with some epoxy I am thinking. Since you have a headed insert, it will have to be counterbored into the club head. I don't think high quality threads matter here as much as having some king of square shoulder where the shaft meets the club, this gives you the rigidity you want and will allow it to make tight. Also I'd suggest testing one of those inserts on a piece of wood the same species. They can be tricky to find the right drill size and you need a good clean hole.
If you had access to a metal lather I would make a fitted plug with the thread on one end and a press fit into the shaft on the other with a ring shoulder between the two. It's a putter, you don't need a lot of strength but you do want that rigidity to transfer the energy to your stroke. I would really consider using the 1/4-20 rather than the 3/8-16.
I'm sure you will come up with something.

Timber Framing/Log construction / Re: A neat old building
Last post by NewYankeeSawmill - Today at 09:18:06 AMFascinating stuff, thanks for sharing!
I did a stint working fire sprinklers... you wouldn't believe the age of some pipe. If it'll hold pressure, it's useable. We tested our systems with air @120PSI, had to hold for 24 hours. If the pipe passed, you were good.
I have a few pieces from Vevor... got what I paid for, no complaints here.
