TR, I have right-angled grass clippers by Fiskars that work like you suggest, but for grass and light weeds only. I haven't seen any right-angle loppers that could handle stuff in the ¾" to 1½" range. One possibility would be to have a welding shop modify a conventional set of largish metal-handled loppers. Remember that the handles need to be L-shaped if you are going to have any leverage. Otherwise you will need a special linkage. But lopping all that stuff would be tedious even with suitable right-angle loppers. I think I would look at one of those buzz saw blades for a string trimmer. You could use it to cut the stubs off at, or slightly below, ground level. You would probably want to buy a spare blade or two, because cutting into the ground would probably dull the thing fairly fast. And wear goggles and steel-toe boots. Another approach would be to set or modify a bushhog to cut at or slightly below ground level. That would be a pretty messy operation, but it might get the job done. If there were any remaining stubs sticking out you might be able to burn them off with one of those flame-thrower weed killers, or simply bury them with an inch or two of dirt. Or you could rent one of those stump grinders and grind down everything that stuck out. MM

I've spent hours trying to find it after my computer crashed and I lost my open page I've ben using for a while to compare my BM paint possibilities. I could enter a paint color, then "add to compare, then add a number of others. When ready, hit "compare" and a page opens with all selected color blocks with identification. This has been invaluable to me, and I can NOT believe I did not save it or find it in my history. Does anyone recognize the site, or even another? THANKS!

I'm not sure which one allowed you to select and compare colors. However, this is absolutely the very best one: http://www.easyrgb.com/new/en/similar/ I know how they measure color and it's a quality process. EasyRGB has an older site to, easyrgb.com, it does the same things just with a different user interface. The new site was designed to be easier to use and it is, IMO. DO NOT use encycolorpedia. There isn't a single pixel of info on that site that anyone should be using - for anything EVER! colorcharts.org is indeed gone. I know the creators of colorcharts.org and the virtual paint program CBN, color by numbers, software. By providing colorcharts for free, they assumed people would then by the CBN program. And that didn't happen. People just used colorcharts without buying so they took it down. Even if you buy the CBN program, you don't get access to the colorcharts data base. Which is unfortunate because they too offered quality data. I do recommend the Paint Pro app. Again, I know where their data came from and I know it's good. The paint manufacturer apps have a single, specific purpose. They are not color tools in any way shape or form. Their function is marketing and intended to get you into a store where they can sell you something. I believe every single one has a "helpful map" within the app so you can find the nearest store. Handy, right? ;) One reason (there are several) why they are not color tools, is because some of them - not necessarily all of them - use the same sRGB values from their websites for their app swatches. sRGB is a very small color space and accommodates digital, online color reproduction. It is not applicable to our analog, in real life world. In other words, sRGB value is perfect for making color swatches for apps and websites, but that's all it's good for. So even if the paint manufacturer apps offered a function to compare colors to other brands, you have to ask what was the app comparing? sRGB values? Which would be totally useless. I was in the SW store the other day and a mom and her daughter were sitting at the design table with an iPad and a tablet of paper. They had listed all the paint colors they were considering and were looking up the RGB values for each one the SW website. They were convinced that by looking at the RGB values for each paint color, they would be able to determine "undertones" for the colors. As most of you already know, I think the whole "undertones" thing is ridiculous. Undertones are totally subjective and not a measurable color attribute. There are only three key color attributes, hue, value, and chroma. Those women had been sitting at that table for over an hour writing down RGB values and chasing down imaginary undertones - a sad waste of time. I did mention to them that there was a better way to go about it and why. But when people believe something about color, it's hard to change their minds. You can have all the science, facts and data the universe has to offer and it won't help. Which is why people still go to the encycolorpedia website to look at crap color information written in color space values they don't understand how to read. Which is why people still believe they can look at digital color swatches online and see true, analog color characteristics. Which is why people keep believing undertones are a real thing and not purely subjective. i.e. remember #thedress from a few weeks back. All I can do is keep preaching the facts. Some people listen. Some people don't. {shrug}

I am trying to make this plastic piece on my car a little thinner (1 cm) so I can fit something into it. I am planning to use the Dremel tool and I was wondering what bit should I use. Sanding or cutting? Hoping to see if anyone here has similar project/experience. Many Thanks!
