/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I am sad I did not know about his arcade when I was in England recently. He has a funny way of thinking, very creative.

I remember a british youtube channel with some older guy talking about bricks, he was touring china explaining all the intricacies of the various old brick constructions.

never found it again sadly

interesting channel

What is the grinder tool at 15:38?

any channels like his but for other trades/machines?

My favorite, spitting image of one of the inspectors.

>>2810693
These are all really well drawn. Cool artstyle and the banter must have been fun.

>>2810694
I first ran in to his drawings when I went on a tour of evergreen and his drawings were on almost every workbench there. wish I had thought to save those. fucking masterpieces.

When I worked in sign shops and had access to vinyl plotters and a full screen printing shop we would constantly goof around making official looking signs and other items either from scratch or using art and print setups from client jobs to make altered versions like

> we made the A, B, C restaurant rating signs for the local health depth and would always print extras with no letter and then make gag F rating signs to pass around to friends...we also made "I _______" bumper stickers and did the same by leaving the symbol off some extras so we could make "I (club symbol) my kids" and " I (spade symbol) my cat", etc. versions.

>we made real looking ID packages for fake bands and products, businesses and government agencies or operations or conventions, etc. that didn't exist, just to mess with people and see how gullible they were.

> ever seen a logo or other ad art that looked like something they probably didn't intend, like an asshole or vagina or other intimate body part but it's the wrong color so nobody makes the connection? We'd print that stuff with the *perfect* colors to make the connection, just because we could. Same with business names that just needed one or two letters to change into something vulgar and/or humorous. PRO TIP: don't ever the clients see them.

> we had a friend who got his law degree and for his first bottom rung shit job he got hired by the worst TV ad famous ambulance chaser firm around locally, that was the butt of every shitty lawyer joke. My job had done some printing for them and we had a silkscreen of their logo, so as a gag graduation gift we got a very used and grease stained khaki mechanic's uniform work shirt and printed their logo across the back and found the oval embroidered name patch for over the pocket so he had appropriate attire for his grunt work at the settlement mill.

>>2810641
My dad worked at sperry flight systems (now honeywell) a long time ago.

we got this stuff for christmas one year:
https://youtu.be/vf1GkWvWelI?t=12

he took some to work. he wanted to prank a guy he knew who was always playing jokes on people.

one day the guy gets coffee in a styrofoam cup and sets it on his desk (not my dads desk). he leaves to get something. my dad sneaks over with another cup he cut the bottom out of. he takes the guys coffee, replaces it with the new cup and dumps the slime in it. covers it with paper.

freaked the guy out a little when he removes the paper sees the green stuff. picks it up and it falls out onto his desk.

>>2810656
I thought about that, but I need to get down there and see if leaking, its a 25 year old property, so I want to get down to the elbow

>>2810658
If it leaks, why would it leak there and not somewhere else? If it is 25 years old and you don't trust it, just use a new pipe and forget about this one.

>>2810658
then why did you ask poo poo head

>>2810664
that's the logic I came here for. thanks.

>>2810666
because various options, devilman.

>>2810637
Use a masonry blade on a circular saw to cut on either side of the pipe. I'd use a heavy sledge hammer to break up the concrete but you could rent a jackhammer if you're allergic to working hard.

seal it, then cover it with baseboard or picrel.

>>2810604
im guessing by all the pubes it's a bathroom vanity. stop getting water everywhere and clean up beforehand, you nasty fucker

>>2810597
Assuming this is a kitchen floor and not a bathroom:
Quick and dirty solution: apply white silicone sealant with a putty knife
Better: use two component filler instead of sealant, sand and paint
Best: replace board
In all cases, consider adding an edge protection (e.g. corner profile).

If bathroom: renovate bathroom

>>2810630
it's a rape shed if that matters

>>2810524
You have a stupid question that an AI can easily answer, everyone saves time if you just ask an AI.

>>2810521
I own a projector and honestly the surface you're projecting on will matter more than the lumen rating. With that said, the 20ft one gives your more options. You'd be amazed how little 8 feet of distance can be when you're on this large field looking at how to mount your projector. So yeah, go for the 20 foot one. If you were doing this inside it would be a different story.

>>2810525
can't even get these cocksuckers to do a basic fucking search. you think they even know what muh ai is?

>>2810567
>you think they even know what muh ai is?

I am disappoint

>>2810564
Thanks, I'm looking at either this Optoma GT2100HDR ($1400) or ViewSonic LS740HD ($800) that has the longer throw. The lumen difference is like 200, contrast ratio is the same. I figure if I can save the extra $600 then do it, I just didn't want to buy this thing and have a shitty image for movie night. It seems like the cost of the Optoma might be mostly related to it being Short Throw.

>>2810527
this is worse than just having recycling/compost/garbage bins fully exposed. it looks like absolute dogshit you fucking retard.

>>2810541
>>2810506

where would you get shed plans for free?

>>2810535
>300$ for a plastic cupboard
>"scored"

The only that's scored here is the inside of your asshole and that's from the friction of ol' Jeff pistoning into it without lubrication

Also are you seriously relying on a fucking fan for fume extraction instead of getting a piece of stainless steel pipe for 10$ and routing the exhaust to the outside

Also2 why does your generator need to be in an enclosed shed, all you needed was 20$ worth of metal for a rain cover.

>>2810554
Just looked at my order history, paid $250 for a shed that is usually $330. For lumber, hardware, paint, etc, that's pretty close to building it yourself from scratch.

That fan has more than enough CFM to extract for an engine of that size, the advantage of fans vs. Exhaust pipes for generator sheds is they can move alot of the ambient heat out, not just the carbon monoxide. In the future I plan on covering the inside of the shed with sound deadening panels to further reduce noise.

>Why isn't your $400 highly portable equipment sitting outside for anyone to see or steal?

For one thing I like to keep my place tidy, also I'd rather have it clean and well-maintained in a dedicated shed so that the 1-2 times I *absolutely need it* to fire up it doesn't give me any trouble.

>>2810544
just draw up plans yourself
it's a shed, not a particle accelerator
you'll want
>a foundation
>a floor
>walls
>a door to enter
>a roof
voila there's your plan

>>2810463
> isolate that shit
It’s good that she’s complaining.
When the power company finds out who is doing it, they’ll start fining them every day it continues.
I worked at an experimental drilling site, we were pulling a lot of power to these high frequency motors and they were fining us $12,000 a day for all the shit it was backfeeding into the system.
We were in the middle of nowhere, too.
Also, we never bothered to fix it…. We just paid it.

I got one like that out by drilling a hole, taking a T20 bit screwdriver, tapping it in the hole and twisting it out.

No that's just a new security drive

>>2810268
I pulled a bolt out of a block that was so stripped metal spirals came out with the bolt. I'd never actually seen that before.

drill a hole and cut in a counter thread, then get a counter screw, screw it in waaah laaah
i do that whenever i use hexagon screws or whatever you call them, that will be used a lot, saves lives

hola op, yo tambien tengo el mismo problema (de hecho ahora mismo estoy escuchando al perro de mierda de mi vecino ladrar)
te puedo asegurar que tu vecino es un negro de mierda que no le importa en lo mas minimo si el perro ladra o no, asi que tu plan no va a funcionar.
mi recomendacion? se creativo y empeza a hacerle maldades.
algunas de las cosas que se me vienen a la mente:
1) rayale el auto.
2) pasa una noche y meale/cagale la puerta de la casa.
3) doxxealo y hacele la vida imposible
otra es tratar de insonorizar lo mas posible las ventanas de tu casa pero esto no es barato.
no te recomiendo agarrartela con el perro y hacerle algo (como envenenarlo) ya que el animal en mi opinion no tiene la culpa de que su dueño sea un hijo de puta que no sabe vivir en sociedad.
suerte

When I was a little kid in the 90's we went to Disney World and there were solar-powered autonomous lawnmowers and my parents still occasionally make fun of me for being more amazed by those than anything else I saw there.

>>2810385
your parents thought there would be flying cars by 2001

>>2810230
I own a 'cheap' one and it works great.
Downsides are:
It is less efficient, it roams the garden randomly for a few hours, changing to a different direction when it hits something or the boundary wire.
You need to keep the lawn clear, even things like large leaves will blunt the blades quicker since it only has tiny razor blades
It won't go right up to the edge if you have borders, so you will need to strim
The only 'fault' I've ever had was when it got stuck in a loop on its way to recharge, it follows the boundary wire to get back to the charging station but it found the wire going around the bed in the middle of the lawn and went around in a circle until the battery died.

Well, the budget isn't that big of issue.

I live in a rather small town and the closest city is also small so there's only one store that can provide me for any specialties like those.

As for the idea, you just need to fuse or solder the wiring and keep them together on some plate or board.

I did a lot of stuff with the company's table saw.

>>2810110
you can buy much smaller 12v batteries, scooter ride on toy and garage door backup batteries if you want to go portable.
you could look into electric yard tool batteries too, like an Ego 54v 5ah battery.
you could also make a portable version that runs off the vehicle battery with jumper cable ends.
otherwise switch to a 120v pump and make it plug in.
Shops that use commercial versions of this just have a tube they stick down in the engine, the whole point is never having to crack the oil pan plug under the vehicle. the whole fixture end thing seems very case specific.
I'd swap the specialty fittings for hose fittings too, but if you make or have that shit on site I guess it's fine.
the output seems unnecessarily reduced as well, there is no reason to cause back pressure just open end the hose into the waste container.

tl;dr that thing seems overproduced and on the fence between portable and sustainable

>>2810110
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=reverse+polarity+switch
and an appropriate relay and fuse/resettable breaker

Winch contactor and a 3 way switch labeled suck, off and blow.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/126425478453

Or

https://www.ebay.com/itm/283574791282

If you want cheaper. Either one should handle the current no problemo, but you wouldn't want to run that pump directly through a switch or it would probably burn out the contacts over time.

Why would laptop power adapters or just any universal switching supplies be sensitive to generators?
Switching supplies don't really give a damn about what power actually goes in when it's immediately rectified and put in a tank capacitor. They can very well handle shitty power.

Seems like an old talking point when nothing was universal voltage and a 140v surge on a 120v power supply could very much kill.

>>2810322
>camping solar panels
So the 300 Watts solar panels charge the car battery with 300 watts per hour. 1250 Watts heat press would spend 1250 Watts per hour if it was constantly on(it wont be constantly on btw lol)

>>2810437
Correct.
If you have a press from a factory, they are constantly on. You are doing intermittent pressing so you’ll have a duty cycle (how much off time vs. How much press time).
One battery has something better than 5 minutes on, to 20 minutes off. It’s better than that because of the solar cells charging while in use.
If need be, acquire an additional battery.
You’re possibly going to be full-charging your batteries from your neighbour’s outlet at night anyway.

Anyway, this is typical calculations the guy who needs to play call of destiny on his xbox over cell data while camping makes.

>>2810562
This is quite interesting stuff, Im actually shifting towards solar now. I can get this working solar for 70 e, 180 watts. Could it work out comboed with car batteries? And how strong do car batteries have to be if it's manageable to use them instead of generator?

>>2810574
forgot the pic

>>2810513
that's not a database thing that's a program thing. you could add it to the program you use to print or the print driver. then it's just a matter of a test button and some way to put in offset.

on the high end you could integrate a camera or scanner into the printer and have it report the position of the form. I'd be surprised if they didn't already have this.

my low tech solution would be to just reproduce the damn form on the printer so it's aligned no matter what.

also we used to have to do this shit with typewriters

>>2810528
using a database for a spreadsheet is wasteful you dipshit, you can actually use a spreadsheet for a database. the problem is as the need exceeds spreadsheet as database tier there is a very small window in very specific circumstances where it's not immediately better to go with a robust database solution.

so it's either too simple for Access or you might as well use a better dB. The narrow strip in between is when management is fucking stupid and insists on 1980s technology.

>>2810053
>>/g/
LOL

>>2810050
>and can built a good database using SQL and VBA.
I have no idea what retarded idea you're thinking of. You can design a SCHEMA and we can run in in a real database engine like Postgres. I have no idea where VBA would even come into the equation, but the fact that you mentioned it at all makes me want to stay far away from any code you touch.

You don't even need to learn Docker. Just launch it through the AWS console.

I've been there for work. Nice place, good soil, cheap beer, good looking girls.

You clearly haven't, or youre a russian in which case its pretty much the same.

Where there did you work? What did you work on? How much was the pay and where are you from?

>>2810060
I'm no Russian, Scandi and it was kind of aid work in rural areas, paid from my country so not bad. Was before the Ukraine war so there was some attempts of making friends there and make them more up to date. Liked it there except the bureaucracy. This was a while ago guess something can have changed but doubt it. What is your experience with Belarus?

>>2810058
then move there, will you? of course you won't.

Fuck your dripline. I asked about ollas you troglodyte, because I want to use harvested rain water, and that doesn't have the pressure required for a dripline. Also, driplines are for faggots. So is using your phone for things other than money management, gaming and communicating. Thanks for nothing.

>>2809950
you know a dripline is holes in a tube, you don't need pressure you just make the holes bigger. you could even use it to fill the ollas if you're really inclined to use dry desert technology in 6a.

>>2809857
im just some retard spitballing, but you could just get some of theses, drill some small holes and use it like a olla. I'm sure you can find used ones all over Craigslist or your equivalent

I use soaker hose buried under mulch

The cheapest is buying lines of dripline. Or drip tape. You turn it on at night. For 3 4 hrs

>>2810091
It was inspected. However, this was all hidden behind drywall.

The bare minimum is to tear it down and no longer have a garage.
Other wise it'll have to be rebuilt fully (correctly) or built into a car port.

as for the garage outside, its sinking and gets standing water in it now when the rain comes

>>2810127
Oh I could go on about the house.
Basically a shit show they tried to cover up. I feel your pain dude. I've basically remodeled the entire house at this point. I'm sick of it. I'm gonna go live in a metal box in a field where no one will bother me. And I have zero home maintenance.
