    I don't have lathe-specific advice. I do have hobby advice. 

     

    Go out there and use it sometimes even when you don't really feel like it. There are going to be a lot of times you won't want to deal with the hassle, or you won't feel motivated, or whatever. The less you use it the harder it becomes to get back into it, and the more likely it is that you'll forget about it or even resent that it's taking up space in your house. 

     

    On the other hand, the more you use it the better you get, and the more positive feelings you'll develop connected to it. You'll feel pretty dang good when you actually finish a project and you have an actual bat, or you make some custom table legs or railings and really feel like a baller. 

     

    Worst case scenario, you discover that you really don't enjoy it, and you'll feel secure in your decision to get rid of it and let somebody else deal with it.

    Yes, I've considered the repercussions of my intended actions.  I bought the lathe and then told my wife about it 3 hours before it was delivered. No idea amazon would so damn prompt.  


    Now just skip to the part where you throw a tarp over it a shove it in the corner and go buy a damn bat.  
     

    Then you can just put the bat on top of the lathe and find them in a couple years when you need to make room for the next thing that needs to get shoved in a corner.

  3. Not exactly home improvement, more of a “oh ****” now what:

     

    Restaurant kitchen floor drain.  So think under tile and foundation.

     

    apparently it got clogged and the fellas decided to break out the snake and have at it.  Good for them, I appreciate the effort.

     

    but, in doing so, the got the snake hung up and broke it off, “I’m not sure how far”, inside the drain.  Not only is it probably still hung up, it’s also broken off inside.  So, even if by some miracle I do manage to hook it, it’s going to most likely break off again.

     

    any ideas that don’t involve a jackhammer?

    Theres "cool" as a player but man howell takes it to a whole nother level. Looks completely aloof out there. Just absolutely zero emotion in any direction. Not a fan of it. Smile a bit. Be angry a bit. Look like youre having fun at least.


    oh dear lord……

    Yeah this type of win is gonna feel really good in April when the guy who would be perfect for us gets drafted a few spots in front of us. Like usual. Enjoy the W 


    We wouldn’t have drafted him anyway if he fell in our laps bc you know, there’s a hidden gem that needs to be picked a round or two early
