02:33:16 <arch> any woodworkers here? is semi gloss or gloss better for a table?
02:33:23 <arch> like a dining table
02:34:29 * Ampera glosses over arch
02:34:50 * arch sprays gloss on his teeth
04:14:01 <arch> nyuk nyuk nyuk!
04:14:08 <Ampera> how ya doin arch
04:14:33 <arch> im excited today. i got my framing nailer today, and trim nailer yesterday.
04:14:46 <Ampera> noice
04:14:54 <arch> both pneumatic
04:15:14 <Ampera> just think of all the pneumatic tools I could own yet ignore if I had a bigger compressor
04:15:40 <arch> i have a 6 gallon pancake compressor, but it's oilfree, a craftsman
04:15:43 <arch> it's too freaking loud
04:15:50 <Ampera> I have the harbor freight special
04:15:51 <arch> im gonna get the Makita MAC700 on sale
04:16:05 <Ampera> it puts wind in my tires
04:16:16 <arch> the harbor freight special is more or less the same stuff as the craftsman, dewalt, etc, oilfree compressors
04:16:37 <arch> they just slap on a different label or different color paint. all that shit comes from the same factory
04:16:55 <Ampera> plastic pistons, tiny tank, as loud as the crying of the child in china that made it
04:17:16 <Ampera> takes a very loud eternity to built pressure
04:17:54 <arch> o i never knew those oilfree ones used plastic pistons
04:18:11 <arch> i saw a teardown of the makita mac 700, and that one is cast iron, looks beautiful. just like a car engine
04:18:16 <Ampera> I think it was rust_collector who mentioned that
04:18:20 <Ampera> and that they overheat bad
04:18:38 <Ampera> he is probably smarter than me on such things, so I am inclined to believe, if not trust him
04:18:39 <arch> yes, mine does unfortunately. and it's not even 2 years old yet
04:19:05 <Ampera> I only ever switch mine on long enough to put whoopie in my cushions, so it's rarely an issue
04:19:13 <arch> lol
04:19:39 <Ampera> or rather I switch it on, wait 15 minutes, wonder why the fuck there isn't any pressure, and then realize the stopcock at the bottom is open
04:19:49 <arch> lol
04:20:03 <Ampera> I'd buy a real compressor if I had the space for it
04:21:05 <arch> probably cheaper option is to buy just the tank, then use a quiet, oiled compressor to fill up the tank. probably cheaper. and i'd store the tank outside the house in case it explodes
04:21:58 <arch> speaking of exploding compressor tanks: how dangerous could a 6 gal pancake tank be if it explodes? i assume at minimum you will get some moderate hearing loss, whether temporary or permanent who knows
04:22:44 <flyback> oh they can be pretty violent
04:22:47 <flyback> apprentely
04:22:54 <flyback> wonder if mine will ever blow
04:22:58 <arch> and i assume they build the tanks in a way similar to how electrolytic caps have weak spots at the top so it vents up rather than explode shrapnel and electrolyte juice all over you
04:23:14 <flyback> no they blow from rust dude
04:23:20 <flyback> you can't predict where the rust will start
04:23:30 <flyback> when you compress air you condence water
04:23:36 <arch> flyback, that's why if you look at the label, they specify the max date usage. like mine says i think 2032 or 2034
04:23:49 <flyback> yeah mine is probably close to max date
04:23:50 <arch> after that date they tell you to dispose of the compressor
04:23:52 <flyback> oh well
04:24:27 <flyback> I got nothing else :P
04:24:48 <arch> what if you made a rollcage with a few layers of chicken wire? that should prevent large chunks from ripping your body at least. wont help a lot with tiny shrapnel
04:24:57 <arch> also wont help with hearing loss
04:27:06 * flyback has no desire to prolong his life

22:19:50 <steve30> i'm not having much luck deinterlacing my premiere output
22:19:56 <steve30> i'll try avidemux
22:22:52 <Ampera> steve30, do you have time in your day to hear about our lord and savior?
22:22:54 <Ampera> ffmpeg?
22:23:16 <steve30> ffmpeg screwed it up as well for some reason
22:23:24 <steve30> i probably got the command wrong
22:23:45 <Ampera> ffmpreg
22:23:50 <steve30> but i know this particular combination of input files and adjustments works in avidemux
22:25:37 <steve30> i did try to QTGMC it in avisynth but it made some bits of the video jerk around when it shouldn't
22:27:36 <steve30> one of the things I do like about having a camcorder which shoots 50p is that I don't have to deal with this stuff :)
22:30:21 <steve30> the QTGMC bits that worked are slightly better quality but i don't think it'll really make that much difference on youtube
