Why didn't/haven't rear handle circular saws catch on outside of North America? This isn't to argue that they're better or worse, but clearly, a lot of carpenters in North America see advantages, but they're virtually unknown outside of it. Why?
>>2961949it's fucking sideways my man
>>2961885>>2961870it looks nice but i built a big clock like this as a 14 year old in shop class, it's not hard to cut machine-planed wood on a 45 degree angle and glue them togetherbroaching a square to fit the stupid battery clock assembly was probably harder than making the cuts for a nice geometric design in the face

>>2967722Sure thing hoss.
>>2967001I totally believe you.
A question about wood finishesI'm making a very simple clock. Just a quartz mechanism. Simple and within my limited scope.The face is a piece of white ash. I intend to use satin finish minwax polycrylic as the finish. I understand that this finish does not really alter the colour of the wood. I have boiled linseed oil, and I see white ash treated with BLO takes a nice golden colour.How long should I wait after applying a single BLO treatment until I apply the polycrylic? Would 24-48hrs be sufficient? Is applying BLO redundant if I intend to use the poltcrylic?Cheers
>>2967361>BLO, it's obsolete nowWhy the fuck would BLO be obsolete? It's an easy to source drying oil, it's non toxic and it lets the wood breathe.Exactly the opposite of your acrylic poly tung oil bullshit mix
>>2967584Why is "letting the wood breathe" necessary? That guy is right, BLO sucks, never completely dries without drying agents (and is still suspect even then), and is a pain to apply versus poly.
>>2967585You people and your poly.Ever noticed that the part of wood beams that isn't allowed to breathe rots first?
>>2967586No. Been using it on gunstocks for over 40 years, no rot yet. Same for bar tops. You may be right, but I'm not seeing it.
>>2967590Ok. It may work well with gun stock and other items. But I was talking about wooden beams that are supported by a wall and the ends are embedded in the mortar. That's the part that rots first. Also, the other anon said BLO is difficult to apply. I don't get it. Just spread on the wood with a piece of cloth

I am installing a kitchen island. Can I cut out part of the end 2x4 stud and install a switch in there for the garbage disposal? Or will I have to just install one under the sink and have to open the cabinet every time. I don't think there are any other spots for it to go.
>>2966527You can put the switch just about anywhere you want. Just make sure you install the disposal to the sink drain and not the toilet.
>>2967360Yeah came here to say this. You just nail or screw the box to the side of a stud. You're not having wiring just running willy nilly across the kitchen are you?
>>2966527Install the receptacle to a stud and put the box in the sink cabinet, then run it to an air switch mounted to the countertop.
Hello Everyone,My wife and I have decided to build a village little by little every Christmas (only two homes so far). I was hoping people would have suggestions on what we should build besides the homes and carts we buy (hills, roads, lake/rivers, etc) so that it can look nice and, hopefully, be easy to store. If this belongs in a different board please let me know
>>2961344If your base is not already very easy to lift I'd ensure you can hang the base and box the buildings in a divided box you can build to your preference. The easier your layout is to move and store the longer you'll enjoy it.Model railroaders have a vast variety of cook ways to make and mod things you can get ideas from.If you add a vertical back that permits more scenery and can make the assembly stiffer and box-like.
>>2961344It'd be neat if you added replicas of unique buildings or structures from your city/state, and then sprinkle snow on them. My great aunt lives in St. Louis, so obviously the Gateway Arch would be suitable.
>>2961344>Diversity free village Dreamy.
>>2961588OP here, yes my wife is actually trans, why? Do you have a problem with that? She's no less a woman than your mother and I love her very much. Trans rights actually really fucking matter to me so I apologize for coming off as combative but I've noticed folks on this site can be very cruel. Whether intentional or not I need to make it clear this is a trans positive thread and I won't tolerate transphobia.
>>2967010Sorry to hear you're gay married, anon. Hopefully "she" acks before you two adopt a kid to molest
Is it possible to modify a bikini so it falls off after the wearer wears it underwater for a few minutes or so? There's a lot of YouTube videos of people pranking each other by giving them a "dissolving bikini" and then laughing when it falls off in the water but most/all of them are fake and the bikini doesn't actually fall off. I could only find one dissolving swimsuit for sale online, it's a one piece and the reviews are somewhat mixed reviewers say you must size up, Fabric did rip a little (before it was wet?), No bra padding, making it obvious it’s fake, Threads holding it together dissolve, not the whole thing. Still fun, even tho my wife was 99% sure what was going on…especially after we had to stretch it hard to get it on, but even after 10 min swimming in the lake only the sides had partly split, advertised.....Less than a minute in the water and the seams came apart. https://www.amazon.com/Dissolving-Swimsuit-Girlfriend-Bachelor-Swimming/dp/B0CR5HC6YHThere's a YouTube video by howcast about this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cV0esyopY_Q with ten million views that states you should just take a regular bikini or one piece and remove all stitching and replace it with "water soluble stitching" and says it works fine in a sowing machine.What kind of water soluble stitching should you use specifically? What kind of bikinis or one pieces will fall apart best without stitching? Ideally it should match the color of the original stitching, dissolve quickly and uniformly and should not rip prior to being worn in the water the stitching ripping when the bikini or one piece is pulled onto the wearer before going in water.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VBq5W1wCRj8https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=asg3hoJPYH4Video review of that swimsuit from AmazonHe recommends a type of thread in the description and says he colored over it with a marker so it blended inhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8tk0uLX2g

So, together with a friend, we have decided to make our own console for fun and giggles. This surely is an undertaking but this is an idea we were considering for a long time and as we got more and more experienced with circuits, embedded programming, 3d printing and stuff like that, I feel like it would be finally in our reach.I never really looked at other people's similar projects, I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I can write code and I can use google so I think we will figure it out and get there eventually.I will post our progress in this thread.
>>2966575Looking good. I noticed your webms haven't don't have sound. Have you got the audio circuitry working yet?
>>2966636The audio circuitry and driver/task are there and do work, I can play pcm samples. But I do not emulate PICO-8 sound system yet. That will be the next big thing to do after graphics, but I think I will save it for last since it's not really essential to play games. PICO provides basically a tracker with 4 channels, with some predefined and custom waveforms and bunch of filters. That will be much tricker to emulate somewhat accurately than graphisc and I never wrote synthesizer before.

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
>>2967063There is a rubber balloon inside the steel can, anon. >>2967059Will do.

>>2969871When it comes to EMI, how you route your scope probe makes a big difference, and measuring common-mode noise can be downright difficult if the scope itself is grounded. Have fun.You can make magnetic field probes out of thin coaxial wire though, that might be worth trying.>>2969873Maybe instead it was Ublock Origin interfering with first-party spyware like it's supposed to, which you can't really do anymore on Chromium-based browsers.

Sledgehammer thread. Has anyone used both Fiskars and Wilton sledges? How does the vibration reduction of the handles compare, are the wedge faces (whether on Fiskars or on the handful of other companies doing them) useful or a gimmick?

You want the handle short enough that you can easily start a stake but long enough that you can get a good rhythm going when swinging it hard.

Has anyone successfully made a doppler radar for measuring bullet speeds using hb100?
I guess, the only way is to know is to try and make it.>>2959892code is provided by manufacturers...What problem here is, is it capable in reading signals reflecting off of such small object?
I remember reading somewhere of somebody making a bullet speed device by using 4 sheets of aluminum foil and a device that can measure the voltage or maybe it was ohms.So 2 sets of aluminum foil sheet; each set a distance apart and noted, and each set has the aluminum foil sheets like .125" away from each other.When the bullet hits the first set of aluminum foil there is now voltage passing from sheet 1 to sheet 2.And a few milliseconds or whatever the same exact thing happens to the second set of sheets.A little math happens using the recorded time and the known distance between the sheets and you have your speed.The sheets can usually be fired at several times before they disintegrate, and calibration is done by having both sets of sheets as close as possible and recording the offset.
Yes, can be easily done...have a high frequency square wave source, have pulse counter that has a trigger for starting the count and stopping it and connect those triggers to the plates and count pulses.by that point, i'd rather use stereo recording-PC sound card and place mic at muzzle and other at target
found it.
>>2967008obviously needs mods (change the oscillator with the trigger part, add more digit and speed calc will still be manual (unless you use microcontroller)
