Low-cost copper pills, spacers, optics, drop-ins (Updated 23/10/2022))

S2+ spacers restocked.

Little bit brighter now:

Now I need to figure out how to get 2 m3 of concrete for the floors without ruining my back completely (even the smallest available concrete delivery truck is not able to get close enough to spit it directly in my room, while concrete pump truck minimum rent value is unaffordable for small objects).

Around here I’ve seen gas or electric powered dump cart. About 2x the size of a large wheel barrow I’d guess. Fits through wooden fence gates to dump in back yards.

PM’d you about an S21a spacer. Sorry if this isn’t the correct way to handle this. New to the forum, hope to post my builds when I’m able to get them all finished.

Some more progress:

Not much progress for last month. I tried my best to organize the concrete laying process in such a way that it was finished as well as it is possible. Unfortunately, it came out so-so, and I had to do some grinding with a diamond cup on the angle grinder. Making such things here is a really big pain. I can not rent tools or services because they don’t work with small private persons, also I cant delegate such work to anyone because people that used to make such jobs have too low “internal quality level”.

I had to leave this message some time ago but hesitated to do this.
Now the situation is clear so I am able not to use many “probably” in my speech.
I`ve made a batch of S2+ and s21a spacers. No more restocks in near future.
I won’t be able to guarantee any reasonable shipping services to most destinations. Most countries will close air connections in a few weeks (or even days). It would be great if someone could take care of my parts and ship them worldwide.
I’ve made a big mistake when increased the planning horizon up to several years. Living inside such rules, the future is tomorrow, not a few years after.
It will definitely take some time to close most issues that must be closed, but I don’t have any delusions about the future (its existence) in this country anymore. Open for any offers.
I was expecting that situation will go this way but I wasn’t expecting that it will happen so fast. This is my miscalculation. I feel bad being part of this, I wish I could leave this area before.
I’m writing this message being not in great psychological shape (close to depression), I hope it came out straight and clear despite some errors. Hard to say anything more. I was born 30 years ago in a country with growth prospects close to S. Korea. Now I wake up with the fact that next 30 years it will have growth prospects close to N. Korea. Not really close to my dreams.

Stay safe.

It’s times like these I feel that the movie “The Outlaw Josey Wales” should be required viewing, especially this little snippet.

Forums like these, people from literally around the world talk, buy, sell, etc., without regard for national borders.
Governments are irrelevant. (As it should be.)

I would like to be the one who would have your parts and be able to send them everywhere, but Poland is probably not the best place for that either. Hope you keep a cool head. Take care of yourself.

Like millions of others, I’m hoping and praying that the situation is not hopeless. Best of luck to you.

Hope you can stay safe.
Keep your head cool, your feet warm, and your nose clean.
This born-again Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili is not going to live for ever.

Best of luck.

Stay safe, kiriba-ru.

I take medication for depression, and that helps.

I don't know much about your personal situation, but I hope you're okay, kiriba-ru!

kiriba-ru, the world understands it is not your people’s but your government’s. I am sorry that the sanctions happening will almost surely have a negative impact on you and yours.

I wish you the best.

Yep, the Ukrainian and Russian people will probably suffer the most, but for different reasons.

I feel sorry for them, and for the world economy at large.

I hope this conflict is over soon.

Stay safe Kiriba-ru. My prayer for you and your loved ones.

“The actions of the few, ruin it for the many”

I hope you and the citizens can stay safe.

Just thinking about the news is getting me a little depressed, and that almost never happens to me.

(I don't like it when conflicts like this happen.)

The last time I remember feeling like this was at the start of the Iraq War.

...

We're thinking about you, kiriba-ru.

Stay strong.

There are many Russians living in NorCal…

All you have to say is “asylum” and you and yours are welcome to America

Praying for you! Not your fault for sure, but it impacts everyone in some way. Hang in there. Cooler heads will prevail…they always do eventually.
