I am currently working on one of these as a side project in my machine shop class. My teacher likes cold war history as well, and gave me the OK to start working on it!
Holy crap I just read this entire comment war, and after that I'm like, WTF DID I JUST READ, your arguing about wd-40 and silicone spray. Who gives two shits. Both of you need to shut the fuck up and forget about it. If you don't I will literally do nothing, TO BOTH OF YOU
good ole bic pins have a lot of space around the ink tube... when i was in highschool its how i passed notes.. and in home ec i made a blow gun out of a bic pin a needle and thread... sorry kyle lol well not really
@nedge46 - uh, no. Teflon tape is used to take up the gaps in threads. It's squeaking because it's already too tight. Use dry silicone lube spray. WD-40 is a degreaser, not a lubricant.
@MonkeyFCoconut While it is true that teflon tape would be for filling gaps in threads to make them water-tight, WD-40 is a water displacement liquid... Not a degreaser. It is also considered a petrolium-based lubricant. Please at least know what you speak of when you "correct" people.
@blindwit hello "mr. interwebz defender or the capable to defend themselves". Thank you for the definition of WD (water displacement). I don't know how familiar you are with all of these chemical formulations, but in my experience WD40 is more of a degreaser than it is a lubricant. In fact it's advertised more so as neither, but rather a rust inhibitor. I stand by my comment that dry silicone spray wins hands down to the 50% solvent / 15% mineral oil mixture of WD40. Believe it, I do.
@MonkeyFCoconut And a hello back to you, Mr. "I'm an internet toughguy"... See? I can do it too. I'm rather familiar with the components of WD-40, which is why I pointed out that you were wrong. WD-40 is not a degreaser. It never has been. If you are using it as a solvent, you are using it improperly. It's literally for water displacement (that's "rust prevention" for the layperson). I find it rather amusing you left out the 25% petrolium-based content while defining the 15% mineral oil.
@blindwit you act like you work as a chemist making WD40 by day and auto mechanic using WD40 by night. I'm pretty sure you just read Wikipedia like me though, and you left out what the petroleum based content is used for. "25% Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant; carbon dioxide is now used instead to reduce WD-40's considerable flammability)" I.e. is just propels the 15% mineral oil out and then it evaporates! Let's keep this up, I'm having sooo much fun -_-
@MonkeyFCoconut Let's continue to read the can, bud... Yeah... Look right below the directions. What does that say? Yes, "lubricates." Wake up, genius. You're wrong.
@blindwit I never said it doesn't lubricate, just that it doesn't do it well. I did in fact cite the 15% mineral oil, which is absolutely not the first thing anyone would go grab to lubricate something. It's a very low viscosity oil, and therefor doesn't hang around long. It will work, it just won't last. I can't be wrong, you said I'm a genius! ;-) Silicone Spray, FTW!
@MonkeyFCoconut Listen, this is what you did: Someone saying something about apples, you walk up and say "Apples are horrible, Use Oranges. Pears aren't even a fruit." Do you see what an ass you look like? No one said silicone lubricant wasn't a better lubricant than WD-40. In fact, no one even said anything about WD-40. You did. You came in to "correct" this person and then began a fucking lecture about something that was arbitrary and irrelevant. I merely pointed this out. You didn't like it.
@blindwit I'm not following your analogy. I replied to nedge46 about teflon tape for the "squeak", which was mentioned at 3:00 and I also replied to ITStactical and anyone that watched the video to inform them of the awexomeness of Silicone Spray. Am I suppose to reply separately with @ITStactical to keep people like you and I from cluttering up comments???? I love how you keep calling me names... but it's just Brett. Get it right.
@MonkeyFCoconut Of course you're not following the analogy. It's clear you aren't following a bit of what's being said. You replied to nedge46 and addressed WD-40, which was not what he was even talking about. Why do you have such a hard time following this? And I didn't call you a name. What is this? Day care? I said you look like an ass for correcting something that the person you replied to never even mentioned. Get over yourself.
@blindwit well it's pretty clear you are not reading and digesting what I'm writing. Maybe you need a fruit analogy... so an Apple walks into an Orange Juice Saloon. Everyone's juicing it up and the Apple leans over the the Bananatender and says, "give me an Apple Juice". All of the Oranges gasp and stop what they are doing and look over at the Apple in suspense. The Bananatender says, "You got worms or something? We only serve water here!" Get it!? Get it??? Get it???????
@MonkeyFCoconut I think perhaps your "Atta Boys" have gone to your head. You clearly aren't as witty as you seem to think you are. I understood full well what you said. You're just plain wrong and can't admit it. Step on, because you aren't improving your appearance and just looking more like a douche than you were before.
@blindwit Yo! crackbeast... listen up son. I was hoping you would just stay on your side of the fence but now I'm going to say it... You're wrong, I'm right. STFU and GTFO. My comment about WD40 was directed toward 3:00 in the video, not nedge46. Kapeesh? OK!? Two people agree with me enough to thumbs up my original comment. I'm glad this is entertaining enough for you to keep coming back over and over, but surely you have something better to do. No? Ok GREEAAT! Keep driveling on and on
@MonkeyFCoconut Let's clarify some things... 1) I'm not your "son," so don't speak down to me as though I were. If I *were* your son I'd disown you because you're an idiot and a douchebag. 2) I'm not wrong. Read the fucking can. Again, it's clear you are a self-important fool who cannot stand being wrong. 3) Directed at the video? Then why include it in the comment replying to another user? Oh... That's right, because you're foolish. Got it. 4) Learn how to spell the language you bastardized.
@blindwit 1) Waaaa waaaaa waaaa, call a fucking waaaambulance. 2) Yeah, you sure are wrong. You might know how to read and spew forth garbage, but clearly this topic is beyond your reasoning capabilities. You keep going in circles about the same points when I could care less. I speak from experience, not what the fucking can says. Eat it. 3) Because all comments are in some way directed toward to the video. All of yours are arguments with me though, you spammer. 4) Waaa, eat a DICtionary!
@MonkeyFCoconut No, not all comments are directed at the video. Comments, such as yours, are directed at messages posted about the video... Thus not directed at the video. In fact, you've been carrying on a conversation directed at me (and not the video) for days now.
You are the quintessential asshole engineer. It's amazing how people of a certain quality are attracted to specific fields, isn't it? Speak from experience? Dipshit : That's what the product was created for. Learn2Read.
@blindwit Wow, it's funny how you are saying the same things I am, but in a less correct way. In fact, everything you are saying is built upon the assumption that you think I actually care what you are talking about. Let's see how many more days we can go at this. BTW: Stop using all technology at once if you can't respect engineers. I could state that everything you are saying is typical for a redneck slacker uni-bomber, but I wouldn't dare because I can't judge people through typed words.
@MonkeyFCoconut Stop using technology? That would be akin to me telling you to stop using a soldering iron. Stop while you're so far behind as you haven't a clue what the fuck you're talking about. Your arrogance and ignorance of documentation is clinical in electrical engineering so much so that it's a stereotype. The only thing that sets you apart from the rest of them is the fact that you have zero skill... Lean on your cohorts some more, douchebag.......
@blindwit I suggest you continue your argument with the rest of the free world. Go Google "silicone spray vs. wd40" and see what the general vibe is... I doubt it will change your mind, and I'm sure you'll come back here quoting someone's rhetoric about WD40, but the bottom line is I use both WD40 and Silicone Spray... and I personally know when to use one verses the other, FOR ME... and will recommend such to anyone and everyone. Don't like that? Well then I'm sorry.. you're having a bad day.
@MonkeyFCoconut I again stand by my statement: At least know what you're talking about before "correcting" people. You look like an asshole, especially when you're wrong. It's not a degreaser. It never will be because it applies lubricants during application... You want a degreaser, look for a better solvent. And btw, you suggested the silicon spray to the person's suggestion of telflon tape. He did not mention WD-40. Stop being an ass.
@blindwit oh boy I think I just made a friend! I'm not going to tell you I have more experience than you, because I don't know anything about you. You might be the nicest smartest mechanic / chemist Youtube comments have ever known... but I'll tell you that I've used WD40 to remove scuff marks on vinyl flooring (look it up), and also to act as a solvent to remove brake fluid from concrete when I was out of brake cleaner. I NEVER would use it to lubricate anything if I had silicone spray.
