Street name plus 123 isn't guessable from the wifi name alone, that part's a stretch.

Why would you call it just a booth trick when the guy actually cut real veneer off a board in front of you? Hand resawing is how it was done for hundreds of years before bandsaws existed, and plenty of folks still do it for small runs. The trick is a sharp rip saw with the right tooth count, a good line, and not rushing the cut. Your bandsaw drift is a setup problem, not proof that hand work is fake.

Ever tried reverse drilling with a left-hand bit before you break out the welder? Sometimes that catches the stud and spins it out on its own, saves you from arcing near fuel lines or sensors. But honestly, that weld trick is the ole reliable. I keep a $99 flux core just for this kinda junk, beats chasing helicoils at 9pm in a muddy lot. Just make sure you clean the broken end good, that oil film will make the weld pop off and then you're really screwed.
