    Threadlocker hit insert

    So I was making axis arrows with hit insert and didn't want to wait on the epoxy. First thing I tried was super glue.... that sets faster than I can jam that in. Wasted arrow. Then I looked up and saw blue thread locker. I knew it wouldn't set right away, but wouldn't take forever either...

    Laser powering solar array

    Anyone ever test out their RF to see if it can power a solar array to any extent? Came across this gem and thought a rf with proper cooling and a constant power source would be an easy test article. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19950014122/downloads/19950014122.pdf?attachment=true

    Sewing machine upgrade time

    I've been pondering a sewing machine upgrade. The plastic Brother I have just can't cut it through thick stuff. Finally I said screw it and found this old singer nearby (107w1). It went through 16 layers of 500d Cordura last night, so I think she will work well. Ordered a servo motor for it...

    The one thing I look forward to each year is hunting. The problem is I try harder to get better every year. This year I took 2 10 pt whitetails, before bow is even over.
