Nope. Never let go of the bars kind of crash. Then followed by making rings for happy couples. The type of metalsmithing I do is incredibly hard on one’s hands. I suspect @HardtailHack has a good understanding of similar hand abuse.

never said anything about crashing. rotating your bars in the stem even slightly will alter the contact/pressure points in your hands, including your thumbs. its in the ergonomics. might also be worth looking into bars with different back & up sweep.
This looks dope, and Teh Spousal Unit™ and I both have been wanting for some better garage organization. I'mma chuck this idea at her... could be a winner. How stable are these racks? Did you anchor to the wall? Did you use pocket hole jog or just screw it all together?
Yeah when my right thumb was at its worst I would have rather had broken ribs or a a collarbone, it was agony for months. Turning door knobs and car keys without using your thumb sucks!
I got my TRP shifter last week and it is fucking amazing for ergonomics.
Years ago I hurt my nut bag and got prescribed Mobic, it fixed my man bits and my thumbs at the same time. But at that point my thumbs were not nearly at their worst, I need to get more Mobic stuff, it works wonders for me.
Do you sleep in a thumb brace at all? That made a massive difference for me.
Just a cordless nailgun and skilsaw for everything. I did throw a nail on each end in the top to the wall for some lateral stability, didnt want to over do it being it was in a storage unit but 2 nails into the wall holds just fine.
Watch says I had 6500 calorie day, I should be tired, arrgh!
I’d be tired after that many milkshakes, too. In other news, in case you weren’t aware, Washington DC is very old and historical. Lots and lots of plaques and shit. Just be aware of that.
Yesterday for Easter luncheon, Wife and I went to Parkville Market (<-- link) and met a couple of friends. I ordered from the Brazilian place and had a beef kebob with fries and kale (figured I needed a veggie). I followed that up with a fried Oreo sundae from the Sno 'N Dough place. We got home from that at 2:00 and then I fell asleep on the couch. Best Easter ever. Speaking of 6500 calories.
Well that sounds incredible except for the fucking kale
I dunno, fucking some kale in a crowded restaurant sounds pretty damn exciting!
Or jerking off alone to OnlyKale
“That’s RANCH DRESSING, you perv!”
Buckle up for her teen years!
I was trying to keep my meal healthy.
So my cousin is telling me about the time my dad dressed up as the Easter bunny and my uncle pretended to kill him with a shotgun as a joke. The most amazing part of this is my dad dressed up as the Easter bunny.
‘MURICA, FUCK YEAH’
Isn't it #ERROR or #NULL! in this case though?
Fucking shitty brakes.
Um, what FSBs?
Teh Spousal Unit™ just ordered us a sweet looking pergola for our patio. I'll be here in a couple weeks, but as busy as we are the last couple of weekends in April who knows when we'll get it built. It's gonna be awesome, though.

After exactly 37 seconds of research, we decided on a 16x12 Backyard Discovery Beaumont pergola from Lowe's. Looks sturdy, has good reviews, made out of cedar, and is a classic style that we both liked. Why fuck it up with a bunch of hemming and hawing?
Correct.A pergola, I'm guessing.
Or an alogrep...A pergola, I'm guessing.
I hate to disparage anyone's choice in Brakes. With care most of them mostly work. Not everyone is aware of how brake pads work and how to change them. It's time to give up on those Avid Mechanicals you have had since the 90's.

Crazy jeebus, they charge a lot for those thangs, thats prob less than a grand worth of lumber, the rest must be brackets and ikea esq- instructions for those without framing abilities.
as much as i like cedar, it still ages poorly around here, more upkeep than i wanted to deal with. we went with aluminum:

and since GFF will ask, we paid notably less through costco.
And time. Gotta pay for time too. Someone else has done all the bumbling and fumbling, sometimes ain't nobody got time for dat.
I am starting to think I could make a killing on building custom pagodas, pergolas and gazebos, nevermind, sounds like werk
Yeah, doing basic stuff has been painful with tendinitis in my other elbow. Gone from being able to snap a pair of pliers in half to nearly crying opening a bag of chips.
Probably should be sleeping in a thumb brace.
