re: Purple Martin

Same here. Kept my houses lowered until I started hearing martins. Winched them up and it took 30 minutes for those little assholes to start poking around each house.

I have 2-T14 houses with porches. I 3d modeled the porch so that I can print and change the entrance types. I have tried the Crescent, Conley 2, Excluder, Excluder II entrance shapes and I'm back to the Crescents this year. The last couple years I've had trouble with younger starlings defeating all of them. I will be back on air rifle duty this year and plan on building a trap over the summer for next year.

The product matters, but it’s not the point for me. If the end product is the goal, buying it would be easier.

3D printing isn’t a product hobby, it’s a process hobby. The payoff isn’t the print, it’s learning how to work through a problem to a design for a solution. Once that clicks, the printer becomes secondary. Different strokes for different folk...some people want the thing, others want the journey. If or when you understand this, the printer becomes secondary.

Working on "remodeling" the houses now. Based on what I'm seeing, its gonna be a fight to the death with the starlings this year.

We'll see what they are made of if they are still in the area.

re: electrical ceiling box keep breaking
Posted by Fraid Knot on 12/27/25 at 4:36 pm to The Dunder Mifflin
It may be more than the box failing. If you have a fan, the box may not be correctly supported or you may have vibration in your fan. I had those blue plastic boxes on every ceiling fixture and were starting to fail. We updated the fans, etc and I changed them out to the deep metal boxes and supported the box with a 2x6 between the joists. Problem solved. As to calling someone, I don't know your skill level but if you are uncomfortable with electricity, definitely call an electrician.
re: Aluminum Welder
Posted by Fraid Knot on 12/26/25 at 3:39 pm to ItsBernie
I have an older miller with both a spoolmatic and profax gun. A guy I hunt with just purchased a Yeswelder and I was impressed with the results. It was pretty cheap for what he received in my opinion. Stay away from any "push" guns for aluminum. Pull or push pull guns work way better and you won't be throwing things.

I own a few of Andy's cameras. They work well in most every lighting scenario. Wondering if I need to buy a few backups.

re: Anyone know where to get parts for Remington?
Posted by Fraid Knot on 11/25/25 at 7:57 am to Tigernomics
I replaced mine on an old 1100 a couple years back. Got it from Midwest Gun Works. Looks like everyone has the same idea as they are out of stock. Maybe try an established gun smith as he might have some stock on hand.

General Finishes makes good stuff. Have used their milk paint and flat clear coat on furniture projects. I have also used their 450 clear on hurricane shutters that get 8 hrs of sun. Its been 3 years and holding up well.

This is what needs to happen. These frickers that use kids need to be eliminated from the earth. No rehab, no jail time. You diddle a kid, you abuse a kid, you die. BTW, good shooting.
