#String Trimmer

New School Power

If a tree falls in the desert and your chainsaw won’t start does it make a sound?

Some weeks back I decided to fire up the string trimmer and knock down some weeds. Yep, weeds. We don’t have lush green grass. Fine trimmed laws here in the sweltering southwest are a fool’s errand. I wrestled the string trimmer from the shed and yanked the start cord. Nothing. Hmmm. I ran carefully through the start procedure again. Nothing. As Count Basie would say, “Once more. With feeling.” Nothing. Grr. I set the crippled machine aside and spent my afternoon stuffing notes in the neighbor’s mailboxes. “Sorry for deflating your property values. —Love, Gerry.”

Fast forwarding to not long afterward, a mighty wind downed a mesquite tree limb. Not to be outdone by the younger weed whacker, my chain saw also refused to start. I kept squeezing bulbs, turning dials, and flipping switches until I felt like the Wizard of Oz. I tugged that cord until my fingers blistered. But the engine offered not a cough or a sputter. It was like trying to squeeze tears out of Chuck Norris.

A tougher hombre would have grabbed this chance to tinker. What could be more fun than plopping a small engine on the workbench and making it run again? Fun, sure. But I don’t have time for that kind of fun. I decided instead that I was done with any engine that still needed a carburetor. I went shopping for electric power.

For a chain saw I wanted something that plugged in. I wanted amps. I wanted torque. I wanted power. I wanted a 16” bar. I went at it like Tim ‘The Tool Man’ Taylor. Did I need any of that? Probably not. I’d probably get by just fine with a battery powered chain saw and avoid the ignominy of dragging an extension cord behind like a long yellow tail. But in the end the price point, and 20 amp motor, in the Oregon brand won the day. Onward.

The string trimmer was trickier. It had to be battery power. But, as mentioned, I’m not using a string trimmer to edge the paths in my English garden. I am mowing down clumps of weeds with stems thicker than your thumb. I am eating into bunches of grass that two weeks ago didn’t exist, but now are knee high. I am trimming off Lilliputian thickets of mesquite that sprout every August. And that’s why I wound up with a 40 volt Ryobi. Everyone else claimed to be “tough” or “powerful.” Ryobi was the only one who dared compare their 40V model to a 26cc gas trimmer. Here in the hardscrabble desert 26cc with .095 string gets the job done. And my fourth favorite big box store had it on a stout discount. Sold!

So the mesquite limb has been reduced to cooking wood. The yard is cleared of weeds, grass clumps and itty-bitty, teeny-weeny mesquite saplings. All done very quietly. And with motors that started at the press of a button. Long live the internal combustion engine! But sometimes you need new school power.

How to Use a String Trimmer as an Edger?

If you want to use a string trimmer like as an edger, you need to attach the edging attachment to the trimmer. Once the extension is in place, you can start the trimmer and use it to edge along sidewalks, driveways, and other hard surfaces.

When using a string trimmer as an edger, it is essential to keep the trimmer level so that the blade is in contact with the surface you are trying to edge. Be careful not to over-edge, as this can damage the cutter and the trimmer.

If you are having trouble keeping the trimmer level, try holding it with one hand on the trigger and the other on the shaft near the blade. It will help to keep the trimmer stable.

How to use a string trimmer to edge

To edge with a string trimmer:

Use the trimmer on its side with the cutting blade perpendicular to the ground.

Hold the trimmer, so the blade is spinning away from the edge you're trimming.

Slowly move the trimmer along the border, careful not to go too deep and damage the blade.

If your string trimmer has a guard, you may need to remove it before you can use the trimmer on its side. Consult your trimmer's manual for instructions on how to do this.

How to use a string trimmer to cut grass

To use a string trimmer to cut grass, you will need to start by putting on the safety gear that the manufacturer recommends. Next, you will need to hold the trimmer so that the cutting head is at a 45-degree angle to the ground. You will then need to push the trimmer forward while keeping the cutting head at the same angle.

As you are cutting the grass, you will need to keep the trimmer level, so you do not damage the lawn. You will also need to watch for rocks or other objects that could damage the trimmer. When you are finished cutting the grass, you will need to turn off the trimmer and put it away.

Wearing the proper safety gear is the essential thing that you can do when using a string trimmer. You should always use gloves, eye protection, and ear protection when using this tool.

How to edge a lawn with an edger

To frame a lawn with an edger:

Start by running the edger along the property's perimeter to create a clean, straight edge.

Use the edger to create a curved edge along any flower beds or other landscaping features.

Use the edger to create a clean line around any trees or other obstacles in the lawn.

I wanna know why it’s 8:30 at night and dark outside and my neighbors are deciding now would be a great time to string trim their lawn?

[other-peoples-coats]

So, I may have mentioned vaguely that we were doing some gardening this year, and then figured, fuck it, it's my blog, what else is it for if not for showing off. Thus: garden pictures.

(I say garden, but like, it's a rental, 90% of what we're growing is in grow bags. Some of which are IKEA bags with holes cut for drainage, because we're cheap and it works fine.)

Left picture is our sacks of potatoes, because we are just that kind of dykes - the huge one in the middle are pink eye potatoes, which are a local (ish) variety, the ones you can only see a tiny bit on on the far left are purple congo potatoes, and the ones furtherest away from the camera are pink fir apple potatoes (and in the background is the big ass fuckin spanish lavender bush, which is next to the even bigger rosemary bush. The rosemary bush is like. nearing five foot across and at least five and a half tall. It's more a tree than a bush, at this point.)

Right picture is the hilariously over productive coriander with some tongue of fire beans (I think? they're A kind of bean, but we've planted like. three types.) growing beside it, possibly giant of Stuttgart beans in the sack directly behind, and onions in the IKEA sack (the other two sacks are some kind of tomato and I think a basil? yet to germinate much though)

Aaaand our radishes are coming up! they're D'avignon radishes, which are a mild french breakfast radish - pretty quick variety, we only planted stuff like. idk start of september end of august? Interplanted with some carrots whose name I forget atm, which are only just starting to pop out of the ground.

and finally two of the mystery fruit trees! the current consensus is that one is an apricot and the other might be a plum, but given the rental ad was just like '3x stone fruit trees' we're basically waiting to see what happens. (If you recognize these, feel free to be like 'um actually that's a [whatever]'; we genuinely have no fucking idea what these are.)

Not pictured: the baby zucchini (I know, but also, zucchini tasty), the other two kinds of basil, the peas, the thyme, the parsley, the lettuces, and, like so many sacks of baby tomato plants. So many. we have like 14 varieties.

I just uttered the phrase "what kind of person doesn't have a screwdriver of each type within arms reach at all times??" and I realize that perhaps I have been working at the hardware store for too long.

[trash-bin-ary]

I am convinced that motor engines like the ones you start by hand hate me and I’m cursed to not be able to start them like I’m using this string trimmer and I get it started and then it stops five seconds later before I can do anything but my brother it works for a while before stopping

[tuesdayscanons]

I've mentioned this before, but just in case, I think I should mention that 99% of my posts are on mobile. I'm not sure how big of a deal that is considering Tumblr Mobile has improved vastly since I first started RPing, but I figured it'd be important to tell people just in case.

Dye, doll, dye

I did a dyeing thing - a white Resinsoul centaur (Dawn) and different vinyl shell parts of an Obitsu 50 cm body (whitey and super whitey).

What I used:

A big shiny pot. Life pro tip - if you have an induction cooktop, check your crappy pot that you ordered from Amazon right away. Amazon sellers are liars.

Lots of towels (water everywhere). Dye (RIT DyeMore is what I used, because it's specifically for synthetics), isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a melamine sponge (Magic Eraser) for oopsies, and weed whacker trimmer string for the parts. Plus coffee.

Strung doll parts. NOTE: before I dye resin or vinyl, I soak it in cold water for 10-15 minutes. Resin is porous. Water will help open the pores for a slightly more even dye distribution.

So one thing I see over and over that drives me CRAZY is people dumping the whole bottle of dye directly into the water.

RIT has recipes. Here's the recipe for Fallen Star using "small" items:

It doesn't matter which small item you pick - the recipe is the same. For a more intense color, increase the amount of dye (Fallen Star is 2 teaspoons of Royal Purple, 1/2 teaspoon Frost Grey, 1/2 teaspoon Sapphire Blue per 4 cups of water). If you dump in the whole bottle, 1) you're wasting dye, and 2) you're not going to get the color that the dye is supposed to produce.

Dye measured - and then I measure one more batch in a separate cup. As stuff goes in the water, dye is absorbed and removed from the water - so you gotta add a little back. Like, an eyedropper at a time, a little.

I set the water to be just under a boil - no bubbling, but still painful when you accidentally stick a finger in there. It's soapy because RIT recommends adding a tiny bit of dish soap and a little salt to the dye bath to help disperse the color evenly.

Dunk:

The resin parts got 3 minutes each. The vinyl parts got 6 minutes.

Horse butt magnet came unglued, and there's something on the butt that prevented it from absorbing dye. I don't know what it is. I'll have to color correct with pastels. Also: the horse body was cast in two parts that were glued together, and the seams sanded. This became immediately apparent post-dye.

The floating blobs top left are vinyl thigh parts after 3 minutes in the dye bath. The darker blue human parts of vinyl parts after a six minute bath.

A few more things: whatever that butt glue was, it liquified in the pot and stuck to stuff. I am not happy about this.

Because parts are thinner in some places and thicker in others, when I pulled a part out of the bath, I would run it under cool water. Then I grabbed my melamine sponge and scrubbed areas where the dye was darker or absorbed funny. Isopropyl alcohol can also help remove some of the dye.

The dye continued to process, even after I rinsed all the parts. When I woke up the next morning, everything was an even more intense blue - especially the vinyl.

My self-imposed max time for resin in a hot water dye bath is 3 minutes. 2-part epoxy resin reacts quickly and hardens to equilibrium - NOT completion. When resin parts are put into almost-boiling hot water, the reaction is reactivated. The resin parts will shrink. I read on a resin manufacturer's website that after 20 minutes, the resin will become extremely brittle and fragile. From past experience, I know that 3 minutes in hot water is enough to make a resin part shrink.

Since the resin parts were dyed for 3 minutes each, this means I will NOT be attempting a gradation with dye. I'll use pastels instead.

But vinyl, however - vinyl can take some heat. Heh heh heh.

Next up: purple!
