Welcome to /diy/, a place to:Post and discuss /diy/ projects, ask questions regarding /diy/ topics and exchange ideas and techniques.Please keep in mind:- This is a SFW board. No fleshlights or other sex toys.- No weapons. That goes to /k/ - Weapons. The workmanship and techniques involved in creating objects which could be used as weapons or the portion of a weapons project that involves them (e.g., forging steel for a blade, machining for gunsmithing, what epoxy can I use to fix my bow) may be discussed in /diy/, but discussing weapon-specific techniques/designs or the actual use of weapons is disallowed. Things such as fixed blade knives or axes are considered tools, things such as swords, guns or explosives are considered weapons.- No drugs or drug paraphernalia (See Global Rule 1). If you want to discuss something that could involve such things (e.g., carving a tobacco pipe from wood) that's fine, but make sure it's /diy/ related and doesn't involve drugs or it will result in deletion/ban.Helpful links:https://sites.google.com/site/diyelmo/ (archived)http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/
Some friendly suggestions for posting:- First ask Google, then ask /diy/. Your question will probably be better received if you do so.- List available resources (tools, materials, budget, time, etc.)- Try to use pictures and explain the goal, if possible- Be patient, this is a slow board; your thread will be around for days.- Share your results! /diy/ loves to see problems solved and projects completed!

>>2944888I wish I had a tractor. Only in FS do I get to fuck around in tractors.
Do friends and family take advantage of you for your /diy/ skills? How do you politely say you want payment or just tell them to hire someone?
I Replaced a bunch of lightbulbs for my aunt the other day and didn't even do it right and she still insisted she pay me. I said she didn't have to. I asked for $50. Despite what i keep seeing ive never had an issue with people paying me for work or trying tobtalk me down in price. I charge $75 an hour for side work for reference.
My mom is a mail carrier and asks me to change the oil in her jeep every 3-5k miles with full synthetic. She goes ahead and buys the oil and filter so I just skip the 5k change and tell her every other change that I'll buy the stuff to do it
>>2967004Why don't you just tell her that 8k miles is ok?
I don’t charge my family money to help them because I’m not Jewish or American
>>2966402I tell them next year, unless it's my parent.
So a few days ago the pressure tank on my well pump sprung a leak. I replaced it with pic-related. Everything was fine at first, but after sitting for about half a day or so my water has taken a kind of plastic-y/soapy taste. It's still crystal clear. I am assuming this is due to the bladder and newness of the tank and it'll go away after some time. Do any anons have experience on how long it'll take? It's not the most foul thing in the world, but definitely not something I'm going to cook in or drink if I can help it.
Read the instructions, it tells you how many times to flush it
>>2967044They do not, actually.
>>2967045does it tell you not for drinking water?if not just keep using it. a trick will be to turn off the pump and totally empty the tank, preferably through the hot water tank because that store and amply some of the smell/taste. then start pump and fill it up again. repeat untill taste is gone or stop being so picky.
>>2967040Why are you guys using plastic?Just use steel containers. Less microplastics
Freshly harvested zucchinis, tomatoes should be ready soonWho else here /home garden/?

Today I planted my new Jujube tree. Since it's so dry here I researched what fruit trees like arid climates and that was top of the list.
>>2963219I just started this year. I grew 1.1kg of peas, 4kg of rainbow beets, I harvested 12 green onions a week from early may to mid-september, and about 20 radishes every other week in the same time period. I also grew some herbs, and even dried a bunch of parsely and ended up with about 40z. I have a bunch of garlic and purple broccoli in the ground now for spring.Next year I'm going to triple down, i'm going to weigh everything i grow and aim for 20kgs total
>>2966715Nice! Post some pics
Installed this Safire Buffalo in the backyard 7 weeks ago today. Been giving it seasol once every 2 weeks and gave it its furst dose of fertiliser 1 week ago. Just gave it a move at 40mm and I think its come up pretty good
You guys have any tips for keeping a dog off your property?
>>2964432They sure are! They've grown a bit since that photo
>>2964441A fence, and talking to the owner/calling animal control and saying it lunged at you if the owner refuses to act and your fence doesn't work.
Looking good for Christmas

Stupid questions that don't deserve their own thread. Last one hit bump limit
>>2966523Hey bby sorry for the late replyThey’re straight. But I still feel like the Jappo drivers are better for Jappo stuff because of the goofy JIS thing that people claim doesn’t exist. All I know is on the Yamaha and Honda here, the Vessels fit best, but the Wiha and Klein fit better on anything non-Japanese.Those wood handle drivers actually do decent when covered with grease and oil. The ballgrip Vessels are one of my favorite handles.I would go Wiha or Felo as my main nice set unless I worked in a Honda dealer.
>>2965082Asking again since I posted after bumo limitTrying to block print on dark fabric, using Speedball Fabric Block Ink, Opaque white. I can't get it to print well on the fabric - it's just transparent and doesn't show up well at all on black / bright bits. When I first started using it a little bit of oil spilled out of the tube (without the actual pigment) which I discarded. Did I fuck up bad? What should I be doing different and also is the situation salvageable I spent too much money on this stuff as it is lol.
>>2967031>>2967054
How would you guys make these?
>>2967058With a sheet metal press, en masse.
All downstream of turning housing from shelter into speculation. Everyone wants to flip their house for more than they paid, everyone want to profit off some sucker, so ease of reselling is paramount.My boomer boss was bragging about his equity in his two homes and how his tenants paid off his mortgage etc.
>>2965962I guess this is the home design/decor thread. How the fuck do I design my apartment? It’s not a studio it has walls a bedroom a separate kitchen but it’s 400 square feet. It used to be a hotel once upon a time someone bought the building and converted the units. I have a lot of free range for upgrading, can paint walls etc it just has to look good.Do I just go with a white and get brown walnut furniture? It has white tile. I was contemplating getting that fake snap in place wood flooring for everything except the bathroom and kitchen. I’m not trying to do anything over the top just make this place feel like my homeWhat wood color for the floors?If I can get this done, the paint and floors to match it I could more easily get furniture that looks good. It’s currently got the landlord special with this nasty blue paint on every wall. I’m thinking white because if I don’t like it then that’s easy enough to decide on a new color and paint over
>>2965962soulless
>>2965962i like it everything looks well proportioned i don't hate grey it pleases my autism idk why people hate minimalism not that this one is minimalist a persian busy decor would be nuts
>>2965962nothing, as your pic show everything went right. now compare this to your average grandma house and tell me where you want to live?

Anyone seen any sarokichi stl files around? $900 is a bit steep for a file you are technically not allowed to reproduce or share. For that price I would just remake the model from scratch.
>>2967037>sarokichihttps://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/sarokichi-articulated-maskThis one is reasonably priced for a model.
this is probably a scam correct? the dude says he can meet up on the 27th and hold it for me if i pay him a down payment so this is 100% a scam.But anyway, what bambu should i pick up? theres alot of X1Cs around me as people upgraded to the h2 it seems, what would be a good price for a used X1C? keep in mind this is canadian pesos
>>2967050>so this is 100% a scam.Depends. Did the sale listing mention a down payment, or was that just in response to your request to hold it for you? Generic used-item deals do not involve down payments, and all exchanges are handled at the point of sale. UNLESS you want the seller to reserve the item when others come along wanting to buy it. You need to give the seller some incentive to make such an agreement with you. And this reservation fee should not be a huge amount. It should be in line with the expected demand for the item and how much you'd save going with that seller vs others with similar items. Does the cost savings of that offering and the expected chance of someone sniping it from you justify the asked reservation fee?>what bambu should i pick up?Depends on what you want to do and your budget.

>>2966687Drilling holes on the mark with a center punch alone, trusting that the hole will "align itself" will never be that good. I went down that rabbit hole a number of years back. Even back then (when as you say, the net was better), the people who supposedly showed you how to scribe, punch, and drill accurately would showcase their holes clearly out of center with the scribe lines. Bottom line is that the punch mark is there to prevent your drill from wandering, not to bring the hole into alignment. If you're truly a turbo-autist insistent on drilling holes to .001 position tolerance on manual tools, look up "Precision Hole Location for Interchangability in Toolmaking and Production" by Moore. It's basically a long ad for a jig borer, but it shows you the ridiculous lengths that people would go to in the manual days to get really good location tolerances. They would wind up drilling the same hole like five times with five different tools. For your situation, I'd say get an x/y table and a center finder or something pointy that you know runs true, then get a magnifying glass and align it as close as possible in x and y with scribe lines. You'll get something like +/- .005 easy as long as your scribe lines are good. >>2966204Print a hub with a hole for a set screw and grind a flat on your shaft.
>>2966687I would always make sure I had a sharp scriber and sharp center punch/spotting punch. Slide the center punches point along one of the scribe lines, at the intersection of the two lines it will "click" into the center point. A light tap first, then check if the little prick is actually on center. Then a heavier tap to make a good guide for the drill bit. If the first light tap is not right you can adjust the position slightly with further light taps, but only once or twice. Pilot drill then should be thin enough to flex itself into the center point, take a light peck and visually check its position. Very light pressure at the start, sharp drill bit with the correct tip angles will help it to not wander.
Machining student here. I'm required to buy a 4 piece combination square set for my next class. The school recommends a $150 Elite Precision model but I intend to do this professionally and I'm not against spending more to get a real quality piece. Starrett has a set that should be around $280 with my student discount and I really like the idea of getting something nice from them before private equity completely ruins the company. There's also a TESA B&S option in the same price range. Any advice?
bolting two 80x200to frames to make a 160x200 bed frame is cool right?Or do I have to buy 160x200 bed frame?
>>2967016Actually, you need to buy a 320x200 bed frame and cut it in half.
i'd get a 640x400 bed frame and have four beds
>>2967032why are you like that?Yu're fag?
Last Threads: https://warosu.org/diy/?task=search2&search_username=artbyrobotTo begin: the project goal: I am working to make a series of humanoid robots. I am using a Biblical theme of naming the first 3 robots I make Adam, Eve, and Abel. The goal is for these robots to have human body inspired musculoskeletal systems, advanced AI, and that they look human and pass for human to a casual observer at least at a distance. They must be able to walk, talk, run, dance, do sports, do chores, manufacture products, and make more robots just like themselves if not even better. My aim is to build a single robot arm and head and then add sufficiently advanced AI to that arm and head to enable it to build the rest of its own body for me. This way I am delegating the work of building the majority of my first humanoid robot to that robot rather than doing that work myself - and this is to save me time.In a like manner, my goal with the AI is to code just enough AI that the AI can begin coding itself and this way I don't have to code most of the AI myself because it will self create itself. I liken this to building a seed and that seed growing into a tree because for me to code that tree would take too long for me and just creating the seed would then save me time.
This is how SMT prototyping is typically done. You may find this technique useful.
>>2966978stop with the antenna talk I'm the one who came up with that possibility and now everyone claims they thought of it first when I did. It was a fear I had and looked into. Chatgpt says at the frequencies I'm using its too low frequency of to cause wires of this length to perform as antennas. I'd have to have like 2ft+ to get antenna like behavior and its only 3-4" tops. At very high frequencies the risk would be higher but i'm not at those. And there's no current in these wires so also not a big deal. The antenna concerns are a false alarm go research it.>>2966991 thanks that could be useful seems a bit convenient I've seen similar use of protoboard in the past. I don't plan to use that method at this time but its nice to have in mind as a option in the future for some things maybe
>>2967036>stop with the antenna talkLol you're embarassed that you don't understand it >>2966775Look closely at this picture, what do you see?
Well if theres an issue with radiowaves you can cover the wires in aluminum foil tape.Makes sense to me with the tin foil hat meme.
>>2967047I think Gary already brought this up before and in typical fashion came up with the world's worst way to not just use a shielded cable
this Composting seems more complex that it needs to be.https://www.primrose.co.uk/blog/gardening/12345/Is this just because its from UK?I'm thinking of buying a house out in the sticks with Septic System and there is bunch of no-no's for Septic so I figure I'd start a big compost out in the Back 40.How do you keep a Compost bin from becoming a Fly Factory, even if follow all these rules?WTF will happen if I dump all types of food into Compost?WTF about "Composting Toilets"? Do they stink real bad when you open the lid to drop another Deuce and a Half?
>>2966922Yeah way too many yellowjackets swarming around it now to do that
>>2966919Very true.

>>2966918Cover with a tarp, not tight. OR bury all of it. It will self compost. Within some months you'll have very fert8ke dirty in that patch, granted you remember where you burried it.

>>2966094I've got one of these Toyo Steel boxes wrapped up under the tree right now. It'll be used for my small set of precision measuring and machining tools. I think that's the only real /diy/ thing unless you count the new pair of work boots I'm also getting.

Picked up a set of Vont 7" made in Germany dikes for $21 canadabux as a christmas present for myself.Don't know what blood magic IHL and Vont are doing in order to list at such a low MSRP, but somehow they can sell German quality at Taiwan prices.>need to buy two cheap adjustable wrenches to fix a toilet>stop buy princess auto>holy shit why are adjustable wrenches so expensive now>chinesium SK on sale for around the same price as HuskyThe feel of the SK handle IMO is way better, less rough, but still textured enough to get a good grip. But the fitment of the jaw is IMO roughly the same as Husky; ie. fine for DIY, but if your doing anything serious look elsewhere.Definitely a skip at MSRP, but on sale, I'd say it's a toss up where Husky has an actual usable lifetime warranty but a worse hand feel, while the SK warranty is basically worthless due to the defacto shipping deductible, but far better hand feel. still debating if I should go back and pick up the 10 and 12 to complete the set.
Got my toolbox. Absolutely frivolous but man it's nice, and should be perfect for the small set of tools I need for my machining classes (I still need a bunch more but other than a 12" combo square it's all pretty compact, thread gauges and such). I need to look for a sheath or something for my caliper so I don't need to have the big case in there.
