Here's the results you get with Tegaderm. 7 days ago my forearm was completely shredded. I had to go to a party that night and multiple people remarked that it looked gnarly.

That’s impressive. Def worth having a roll on standby
That's quite impressive. At that point I've usually managed to make it look way gnarlier than earlier by constantly picking at it. Did you put anything under the Tegaderm? Same piece the whole time or swapping on occasion?
That looks amazing. Their hackzall is cool too.Quote:

For the first 3-4 days the volume of exudate necessitated daily changes. After that I was able to go two days before swapping. Nothing under it at first, then when the exudate volume dropped off I started putting just a little Vaseline on things to help keep it moist. If it's really deep and putting out a lot of fluid and/or still bleeding you can put some non-stick gauze down underneath.Quote:

I believe we had the XC8.0 on it. It lasted a LONG time. We cut enough to lose count. Stuff from 1/2” to almost a foot in diameter I would estimate. Heavy hard stuff too.
Sweet thanks, sounds like the 5.0 will probably do what I need. I'm usually only out for a couple hours at a time and for anything big I'd just haul in the real chainsaw.
Have you ever done the trick of making a port for the exudate to drain from (and just putting a band-aid or taping a cotton/gauze ball there)? Paint a little vaseline line extending from the wound to the edge of the patch so that the tegaderm won't stick there.Quote:

That's an interesting idea. I found that the exudate eventually just found a way out on its own, but that's a cleaner solution.
I seem to do a lot of work on bike suspension and seat posts, etc for my self and friends. During Covid Fox switched from a 9mm inner shaft to a ⅜ on their X2 shocks so my metric shaft clamps wouldn’t fit. So I decided to use my Bridgeport mill to machine a new set of interchangeable vice jaws for my Wilton vise. This design utilizes a steel dovetail to hold the jaws and 4 ball detents to position the interchangeable jaws and keep them in place. The first set of shaft clamps I made are brass for SAE sizes and they use stainless steel guide pins to keep them perfectly aligned to prevent any damage to the shafts. My plan is to make more interchangeable jaws for metric shafts as well as a set of copper and steel flat jaws for general use.

It’s a real pain in the ass washing the bike given my current living situation doesn’t have a hose, and there’s only one self service car wash in town that’s always a cluster.
Ended up purchasing this sprayer for 70 bucks and tried it out for the first time yesterday. Works great

Rideit would you be offended if I cross posted that to the Shit that Amuses You thread? That's hilarious.
I get those missing 10mm socket jokes on my FB pretty much daily
Please do. It's fucking absurd.
Story of my life. I own a shop with a shitton of tools and a few employees. Many different sets of sockets of every variation. 10mm is the first to go missing every damn time. Mother fuckers cannot keep up with them. I want to just buy 50 10mm sockets and spread them throughout every tool box and make little friendship bracelets for every employee out of them.

Looking for nitrile glove recommendations. I would like dexterity and durability (tear resistance). Been using Kimberly Clark powder free nitriles for about 13 years. I think they are 5.9mil. Overall happy, but improvements I’d like are better fit and tear resistance. The large get loose after a while and the medium are too tight resulting in sore fingers. I’m messing around in the garage on mtb and moto about 4 to 5 times/week so going commando isn’t good for my health and tossing after each use is pricey.
