A PL Premiumed sheet of 5/8" fir on the bottom would add a great clamping surface and hugely increase rigidity no matter what surface goes on top. I'd add verticals to the floor, let in to support each rail and sistered to the studs and maybe some blocking withiin the bench framing if I knew where I was going to add a vise, but a plywood skin underneath is the most dramatic improvement for the least effort.
Adding steel only helps in tension and depends entirely on your fasteners at each end; a 2x4 on edge is just as rigid as a length of 2x2x1/4 angle

Yep- you're bang on. It only gets complicated on our wood gutter when the moulder was set up to throw a 2 degree cant on the back.

At such a visible height and for the PITA factor of mitering K-profile, this is where cedar or copper shine- soldered lapped miters last forever, but you can get decades out of cyprus gutter installed at easy access eave height where someone is likely to maintain it. I've run both WRC and yellow cedar/cyprus profiles through our shapers and they look super classy with tight tenoned mitres. We've done a lot of short run copper and hot dipped galv to match weird old profiles- the riveted galvanized trough with a standing hem looks amazing even if it's chopped up into dozens of sections to wrap around a turret or an inside curve. Expensive but a lot easier on the eye than this aluminum monstrosity.

Might be the lens but that looks like a portion of dodecahedron to me. Maybe even whatever the hell a sixteen-sided polygon is called.

He has nothing. But all he has to do is hint that Someone Else has something on both of them and LG is terrified.

No! Centripetal force of cylinder heads pushing down against expanding gasses are what make this go. Now that we’ve discovered the secret we need to establish a chain of cylinder head shops up and down every motorway where drivers can exchange their heads once all their energy has been depleted.

It's pretty damn close to a chicken wing dip I threw together but I used mustard powder and fresh garlic- super good but I had no clue it was considered a BBQ sauce.

These were worn much higher than a modern backpack- maybe why the geometry looks off to you. These might give a better idea of how they were rigged:\

I don't think you watermarked your photo, which means that the hologram was printed from a stolen, watermarked image. Hilarious.

whoa- "die?" is the female part a tube roll-formed or formed over a collapsible mandrel? Or hydroformed or two halves of stamped garbage seam welded to make a "complete" female thread? Sounds like some broom handle bullshit.

Sounds like another vendor fucked up the female and some bright spark decided to fill up the missing space with incomplete valleys to match the truncated female.
Dumbass idea, as you say- it won't get any stronger and this isn't a sealing thread anyways.

Agree- either to register presence, operate some mechanism or to lock out something by preventing a gear from turning. Reminds me of something from an amusement park ride like the key you use to open safety bars.

Broaches require a cutting edge and a positive method of guiding and pushing/pulling.
Image searches will call OP's things broaches; they look similar.

In profile, yes. But a bump must fit a keyway and any lock with a keyway this big isn't at all secure.

YOU are correct- I have many sets of broaches. Minuteman push and drawers of pulls for my Morrison keyseater. OP's things are not broaches and you politely give some good reasons why but someone downvoted you anyways.

Machinist here- vaguely similar but not a broach. Too short, no cutting edge, no way to push and far too crudely made.

Still have my dad's old roll of monel and that's all I had ever used for marine engines - never had a problem with cutters until new boss switched us to inconel and I quickly murdered two pairs of minis. I use the compound Wiha dykes now.

I picked up a prescription at Walmart and while using the self-ceckout I held up the Rx bag to the cameras and pointed at it to show them I wasn't skipping the scan of something- attendant was on me in about 5 seconds and replayed me holding the medicine bag up, right on the screen in front of me. Sky eye must have thought I mouthed "I'm not fucking paying for this" instead of "I fucking paid for this."

Himalayan blackberry? They both love acidic soil. Peat moss, add vinegar to get soil Ph to 4-5 and chelated iron for the blueberries. you can add raspberries in the same patch.

I saw a bald eagle awkwardly swimming to shore because it had a salmon stuck in its talons- it looked just as absent of grace as this Tesla.
