Nice, makes me think of the Sovjet space-pen

Is that the soviets using a pencil instead of a fancy pressurised pen? I think that was debunked. And also the pen was developed because pencils shed flakes of graphite and are made of combustible wood.

i think i can close the thread now. thanks

I think this fits here....

I’ve been thinking lately about what I will do when I finish work (I’m a firefighter)... I’ve done nearly 30 years.
I’m experimenting with PDR (paintless dent removal), and seem to have a bit of an affinity to it.... so I’m told!
Anyway, I have purchased quite a few different tools, but one I really want is sold out, and impossible to get anywhere ..... better make one then!
The tool I want is called a Stanliner pirate hook. I decided to make one from a vintage manganese bronze putter (another of my hoarding/collecting habits).

After some chopping and shaping, I’m pretty much where I want to be. If anyone has any dents in their vehicles, I’ll have a go for nothing..... I won’t make it worse, and chances are, it will be gone completely.

Ahh factoid trap... Also you're probably right that things that burn don't get to go to space. I will miss it though

Tacticool

One for the haters. The RSP300’s suspension is the wrong shape for the e13, so I had at it with the angle grinder. Not a pretty job, but totally functional.

Bonus shot of the bb tool held in place with a washer + nut/bolt combo.

Right on! I love homemade tools.

A question:

Can I fix a tubular tire, already punctured, with a sealant?

For towing his mtb with his E-omniun

Yes

Yes, you need Vittoria Pit Stop or similar.

Smart.

For road or track use?

I’d not let someone with sealant in their tyres on the velodrome incase it leaked (has been an issue with tubeless) but then again, how would I know.
