MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted October 6, 2015 Alright I got a question and its got to do with ironing board cover material. I'm in the market for wanting a quick slip cover, and to be honest I'm frugal when it comes to certain things. So I decided to look up the price of the Cover already made which ranges from $50 to $75 depending where you go. I decided ok lets look at the construction or what I may need to make one, I can either go with Teflon sheet which seems all you can find is 16"X how many yards you want, well that's great but I need slightly larger than 16", so I looked at Ironing board silver material none padded I can get 44" X 3' (or 1 yrd) for 9.00 compared to 9.99 and up for the rolls of Teflon. I figure the better deal is the ironing board material, but then I started to think about the temperature the material would be objected to and came up with how high of a heat would this material be able to withstand? So my question is does anyone know how this material would hold up to 400 degrees? Also has anyone else made their own quick slip cover? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked my girlfriend why she didn't hem her pants up and she's never even touched a sewing machine. Told her I'd do it when I get a minute and she laughed at me.

Knowing how to sew doesn't make you less of a man it makes you a handy man havent really been trying after I hired a pro to tune it up, it just doesn't get used that much as I use hem tape for banners. I did realist it on Craigslist for too much money in case someone really wanted one, but just really in the fence as to if I really want the machine or the room 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted October 9, 2015 change a tire, tell time on a clock with dials and several other things. What is the world coming to I can change a tire call my AAA club, tell time on a clock when it reads 12:02 its 12:02 if its bright out its day time, dark its night (unless your in Alaska) I'm sure I know some other things lol. I seriously know how to change a tire but I prefer knowing how to change all four knowing how to do just one isnt gonna help. I could see it now driving along with a friend tire blows out. Damn which one is it charlie? Well Dave its the front passenger side. Damn Charlie I just know how to change the front driver side. I know how to sew somethings just not big on it it.

xpaperman 719 Posted October 10, 2015 My favorite is "knowing how to count change" I am sure everyone is aware of this..... kid at the drive thru tells you your order is $7.61. You hand the kid $10.11 and he has to call a manager to make change. Well, today..... they "one upped it" (true story) I went to the drive thru at a popular place. At the pay window I handed the girl my debit card. She swiped it once... then again, then handed it back to me telling me the machine won't read it I need to give her another card or pay with cash. (I had no cash on me this time) A little put out (cause I knew how to address the problem) I just handed her another card. Swipe, Swipe.... she handed it back and said it's not reading that one either try another...... At this point I simply said, Just enter the numbers manually.... I got a WTF look followed up with, we cant do that here. I said please check with you manager..... he shows up, tried to swipe the card..... TWICE, Then simply entered the numbers manually. Viola!! She handed me my card and receipt and said Have a nice day sir. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperman 719 Posted October 13, 2015 It costs the merchant more for keyed entry vs swiped. Because of the risk involved!! Thats why they charge more. You can memorize anyones numbers and use them where ever you go and there is no way to verify its really your number. There was this bartender once.... at a place I frequented, she was new. I always left my card at the bar to run a tab. One night, I forgot to close my tab (the new girl was working) I came in the next day to settle up and get my card. I came back the next day (the new girl was working) and went to start a tab.... I handed her my card and she said "I don't need that, I have your number memorized!?!) Holy shit....WTF? So I married her! (I had to be safe) we have been together now for 17 years..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
