This anti-slip head design just happens to be a 6-pointed star: the Mogen David. Who knew the logo on the shield of an ancient king of Israel would be so darn practical? Pretty, too: the screws and their drivers. I first noticed these hexalobular beauties at a hardware store last month.


You know how the Jewish education world talks about seeing the world through Jewish lenses? (Figuratively speaking. For literal Jewish lenses see my note below.) Mine are always on, and a stroll down the aisles of a hardware store usually ignites Jewy upcycle-repurpose ideas. When I first saw these Torx screwdrivers at Harbor Freight, I went weak at the knees. True, I was also woozy from rubber tire off-gas, but the screwdrivers were an absolute thrill.


From JOANNA BRICHETTO:

My goal is to help kids and grownups spend time together making Jewish things. I like stuff that is hands-on, attractive, non-fussy, cheap and real, and so fun no one realizes it's educational.

Good demo of the spinning process for wedge bolts.



The only thing I heard that I don't agree with is that "Stainless or PLX are good".

Only Stainless is good - that's why ASCA gave you Stainless bolts.

PLX (plated) will rust quickly like the bolt you just pulled out.

[edit: see posts below; PLX is not plated, but is a type of stainless]


PLX or duplex steel is the newest popular metal being used as it is a bit better than 316 stainless. Fixe had issues with theirs but I believed that is solved now and you can read all of that in the metal section of the bolting bible. You are right though... zinc plated bolts should not be used outside.


You should use a torque wrench. It's one thing if you've been doing it for 30 years and you know pretty well what the spec torque feels like without one, but if you're producing a 'how to' video, odds are the intended viewer doesn't, so you (and more importantly they) should be using a torque wrench. Doubly so if you're rebolting w/ASCA bolts vs. putting in your own hardware that you paid for.


PLX steel is actually a highly formable grade of mild steel produced and marketed under the designation PLX by SSAB Steel in Sweden and widely used for formed roof cladding.

Why Fixe decided to confuse matters is hard to understand.


A few coments on the video and the previous video about removing the bolts at the top of the climb



-using a spinner tool. If you put a 3/8" nut on the bolt stud first then screw on the spinner tool and lock the two against each other it makes working the bolt much easier. Another option is to put a stop inside the spinner tool that allows the tool to only go on for 1/4" to 3/8". You can use a short piece of threaded rod(and loctite) or a pin to do this.



-I would recommend adding a scoring compound such as fine grit sandblasting powder to your water solution. It helps score the cone a bit more quickly.



-keeping the threaded insert inside the spinner tool from backing out of the tool. Use red loctite on the outer threads of the insert and screw it back in.



-tuning fork. Using a 1/4" tuning fork to remove larger diameter bolts(called 5/16" in the video, but actually 3/8" Rawl split shaft buttonheads) will ultimately cause the fork to fail as you can only bend it back so many times. You can make a tuning fork for larger diameter bolts by getting a Lost Arrow piton and cutting out the slot with a hacksaw.



-carabiner on tuning fork. You should remove the carabiner close to the fork as it whips around as you hit it. Either remove it or put on a longer leash and clip the carabiner at the end and to your harness so you won't accidentally drop it.


On most of my SDS to fine thread adapters there a philips cone head screw (reverse threaded). I back that out enough that it engages the stud inside the inner thread adapter although on short studs I need to use the nut trick you mention.


Nope. Those were 3/8". You can tell by the size of the buttonhead. The difference in size between a 1/4" and 5/16" buttonhead isn't all that much, but the 3/8" is significantly larger. You can't tell just by the length of the bolt.


The head of a 5/16" is huge compared to a 1/4", and they just look big (which is why they are often found on early sport routes without people even noticing that they aren't 3/8" bolts). And 3/8" are MUCH larger - too large to ever be seen with a SMC hanger. I've only seen 3/8" buttonheads with homemade hangers or 12mm hole hangers. Most 3/8" split-shaft bolts are the thread-head style (since those could be used with 3/8" hole hangers).


Dug out some buttonheads - the 3/8" is actually a Spike bolt since I couldn't find a 3/8" buttonhead, but should be about the same diameter. Bruce, I think you actually gave me the new 5/16" buttonhead years ago! It would be theoretically possible to fit a 3/8" buttonhead in a SMC hanger if you expanded the hole from 3/8" up to about 12mm, so they actually could be seen with a SMC hanger that someone had drilled or filed out.




There's also some really good discussion of why using a torque wrench is a good idea. (in particular w/SS hardware) It's a short enough thread that you can pretty easily actually read it as opposed to skim and miss out on a lot of the info.


Oh yes, it would be fantastic to get Nick to do a another bible for MFS 2020. You are correct he was a genius but sadly I think he has retired from Flt sim. If not, someone may be able to reach out to him, he is needed desperately to sort this mess out.


His Bible on installing a new Windows installation was for me invaluable, and to this day I have followed his procedure on doing so, I always have a stable Windows install now thanks to NickN. I think I remember he got into FSX so he could enjoy a joint hobby with his Son and then just retired from the scene of giving forums advice as it was taking too much of his time. Top guy and very very knowledgeable on the workings of the Windows platform and FSX.


I would still like to see the team include some sort of documentation / pilot resources etc. as we have seen with older versions of Flight Simulator and has been asked here, multiple times on the forums.


This AVSIM Crash-to-Desktop (CTD) guide provides investigative techniques you can try when you get one of those dreaded crashes while loading the sim to your setup screen, during the loading to the flight, or during the flight. Most importantly, the...


I remember using Nicks bible in FSX and his insight and explanations were extremely helpful. There were a few others too that I found helpful on video settings, one guy called Noell and the other Loki who is still around over at AVSIM.


Something I can remember doing that might be worth trying on MSFS is that I had 2 cfg files, one that I optimised for best visuals and another for best smoothness and would interchange depending upon whether I was flying IFR or VFR
