post your tractors
>>2967065Get a garden tractor, one furrow of fun.
>>2967072I've been looking to see if I can find an old N series ford close by to go through and put back to work. I like the look of them and if it runs now, it should run forever.

I have a small apartment. The bathroom is basically attached to the dining area. To solve this I had the idea to divide the room. Keep the bathroom out of sight, create a dining area that doesn’t feel like it’s in the bathroom and make a bathroom that feels like it has some privacy should I ever manage to get some pussy or just have family over etc. Long story short I want something like picrel (more storage, functionality masks that it’s there to divide) but it has to be 48” wide. This would leave enough space to pass through that’s about as wide as the other doors. Then I just need to add some kind of curtain or hippie beads on the 30 inch space that’s leftover (not my first choice just the most obvious one) to seperate it completely but still let it be crossable.I cannot find anything like picrel within my dimensions. Height should be 71”-81”, it COULD go slightly above 81 but it would work best if it was under 81 inches as I have this 16 inch wide (long? Up and down) ceiling beam I plan to put it under.I digress,>AWould this be hard to just build? Similar non equal shelves but in my exact dimensions. I would add a backing onto it probably to further separate the bathroom from the dining area. Would probably keep it the same thickness as the ceiling beam, 9 inches. So think 71-81 inches tall, 48 inches wide, and 9 inches deep. Probably stained to look like walnut so it matches my other furniture.>BIs this even a good idea? The best for my goal? A shelf case of sorts to divide a room?
>>2966702>Would this be hard to just build?Your picrel would be trivial to build, provided you have the correct tools and work space. Knock-down hardware is easy to buy.Even in the worst, you're just a small apart and can't afford more then a box cutter, you could make it out of cardboard and a little chemistry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45JhacvmXV8
>>2967280A display for what?
>>2968135dolls mainly
>>2967280>Nice looking unit Unfortunately Kitchen looks like shit you'll have to rip the whole thing out and redesign on CAD and get a cabinet maker to knock it up and install
>>2968221lmao yes I posted about this in /CK/ actually I want to replace the kitchen and the flooring
>>2959649>>2961046cute idea. i dislike the uniform rock formations but understand the centerpiece presentation.any verticality or is that it with reaching flowers?
Thats it for now, the flower spike will start to die out over the next couple of months but will remain on the plant, then in a few years time itll grow another flower spike along side the old one like in this picture
Spent a week on KI this year and learned that one of the first industries on that island was exporting the red gum/resin they harvested from these grass trees. It was used in myriad products from food and clothing (dye) to cosmetics and fireworks. Downside being they had to smash the dried trunks into tiny pieces for the resin to fall out and nearly drove the local population of Xanthorrhoea to extinction. They called them yakka trees back then and it was a punishing, painful and labor intensive job which is where the term "hard yakka" comes from meaning hard work. Saw a few dead/broken grass trees on my walks there, the amount of resin inside is pretty astonishing, there's lots of it. You can still buy the stuff today. Thanks for reading my blog.

What is a good way to find cheap leather to practice sewing with/using water to shape it? Proper leather is bloody expensive and i just want to practice to learn. Are old leather jackets and boots good?
>>2966634Don't bother with old jackets or furniture for wet molding; it won't work well because of the tanning process used on that type of leather (chrome tanned). What you're looking for is going to be veg tanned leather which is actually pretty cheap.For sewing practice you could definitely use the chrome tanned though.
>>2968175>What you're looking for is going to be veg tanned leather which is actually pretty cheap.Just buying it straight up?
>>2966634leather places and websites sell scrap leather
>>2966634>Get gun>go rabbit shooting >keep the skin >tan the skin and use that.
Leather is not particularly expensive, as long as you don't get the top shelf stuff, which you shouldn't get anyway unless youre experienced and doing big pieces that need to be flawless.I got half a cows worth of argentinian 2mm veg tan leather for just €100 cause it was not entirely even in thickness and had a hole the size of my pinky finger nail near the middle making it second rate. Had the same amount of leather been premium the price could easily have been 3-5 times higher.
what do yall think of wood toilet seats?
>>2964468Aren’t those ‘wood’ seats generally coated so thickly with PVC or phenolic resin that it doesn’t matter? Cheaper ones are bag coated MDF anyway. It’s all plastic on the outside.If it’s not and it’s wood with little coating that would be weird and unhygienic I guess
how about carpet?
>>2968171
>>2964468We had one growing up. Mum was an artist and painted a small redback spider on the seat. I have fond memories of first-time guests shrieking in our toilet.
>>2964468My corrosive piss would turn that thing into a rotten nightmare in two months.
Is there any /diy/ guide for beginners who want to design their own PCBs for first time?
I want to know this too
>>2968047It depends where youre coming from.Got a solid understanding of electronics?Download KiCAD and do the first project that comes to mind. You'll stumble upon the 'PCB design' specific things along the way and just read up on it, be it power, HF, EMI, thermal or whatever else PCB specific things there are.As someone who has no idea about electronics? Read Horowitz The Art Of Electronics first. Once you understand breadboard or perfboard a few things and then go to the step where u dl KiCAD.
Oh and... BRO WTFBURN IT WITH FIRE NOW
I just use easyeda, simple as drawing the schematic in the site, click on "make pcb", move around the components so they fit nice, then click on auto route.
>>2968047Thread I started here >>>2962509It was my first PCB design.Learned EasyEDA from scratch and then I went down the rabbit hole of impedances and signal integrity.Find something you want to make or upgrade.Get an old Computer case and update the IO PCB like I did for example. I haven't tested my work yet as I screwed up and needed to reoder the PCBsBut finger crossed it will work right out of the box.
Does anybody actually like using these? I fucking hate themIs there any alternative other than a really sharp razor blade and 4 extra hours of my life?
>>2955658The french name of this tool is very offensive.
>>2955658>Cabinet MakerLove this little nigga like you wouldn't believe
I fucking hate them because I have no finess with them, my solution is to get a router table so I fuck up less making the simplest shit. Note: this may be retarded, I am retarded, but all the projects I want to do involve stupid channels and shit only a router can do in wood
For my work they are extremely useful, framer. Its not detail cabinet, trim type work, but when I frame wall and sheet it before standing and sometimes I sheet it after it's up. They make cutting out rough openings for windows, doors, etc. or cutting the excess off wall sheets/ roof sheets. It's a lot cleaning then the circle saw/recep saw combo. Or when the concrete guys fuck up the foundation and you now have to router each joists layout on the plate to match what's drawn they too are great there. Its a great tool but if you do work like this/that youd already know this.
>>2955658im not much of a cabinet maker or anything more a car guy, but even there has these things been handy>cup holder tray on old ford van, looked like trash so i copied it in oak>speaker panels>these things eat aluminium like its wood, bought some wheels that didnt fit, centre hole was too small. carefull milling with a router and they fit.

Not sure if it’s the right term but is bartholomews hand cut deeper or shallower than the table? Are any of the shadows trickery?It’s a cool carving anon
Got the tabletop all sanded down, and I'm just waiting on my finish to get here. Legs are welded up and all painted. I'm hoping I don't mess anything up when drilling for the threaded inserts.>>2967232That's a good idea. I did see the gallon containers, but I wasn't sure if it was the same. Also, a gallon is a lot lol.
>>2968168>I'm hoping I don't mess anything up when drilling for the threaded inserts.Use a stop collar and don't forget to use a countersink to bevel the edges.
Anyone ever designed their own PCB?Trying to replace the front IO Panel that supports a USB 3.0Anyone know the name for Female 19 pin header?Want to place it on the board so I can just use off the shelf USB 3.0 19 pin header extension cable.
>>2962509They arrived!
>>2968177FFUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKTHE CONNECTOR IS SLIGHTLY LARGERFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
>>2968179Fuck I got the pin pitches reversed
>>2968179It's ok OP, not much to change honestly, at least you did something and learned shit
>>2968181Thanks,Yeah I reordered with correct pin Pitch this time. Cost me $3 USD more this time.
Wondering about the fiber arts scene on /diy/. Share past/current projects, tips, tricks, suppliers, patterns, and news from the wider fiber arts community. Or just ask for help. All mediums and styles welcome. Knit, crochet, tufting, weaving, even nalbinding for the 2 of you that partake.
I'm working on too many projects at the moment. Socks, a star-shaped pillow, a poncho, and this monster of a shawl in fingering yarn (picrel). I moved into a 200 year old house this year and some walls are slanted, so I figured a shawl like this would make for a nice decoration.
>>2967680Your shawl looks lovely, anon! Congrats on the new house. Do you mind sharing what yarn that is? Love the green.
>>2966060This sounds totally healthy and not insane.
>>2967741Thanks!The yarn is Scheepjes Cotton Whirl and the colour is called Lettuce Party.
I took my band loom along on Christmas vacation and made a couple bands. The black and blue is Baltic-style with designs I liked, I think they'll be drawstrings. Then the blue and gold are tablet-woven bookmarks using the pattern Dawnish Sun from Twisted Threads
Recently I've been seeing these "overly meticulous and pedantic" home inspectors popping up on YouTube, namely this guy and his copycats. They claim to be "exposing corruption in the housing industry" but as others have pointed out, it's all part of the marketing. What do you think?
>>2967688>>2967693There are. In the US we call them builders. The builder works with all of the contractors and spares the homeowner the conversations, the time, and the stress. Now add at least 10% to the total price of your house.
>>2967910still not the same, even you mentioned contractors. thats a thing that doesnt exist here, if you hire a builder he does the concrete slab, the framing, the drywall, the roof, everything. he doesnt hire a bunch of """contractors""" aka mexicans or in our case poles and lithuanians to do it for him no its part of his job and he does it himself.
>>2967900i wish i knew spanish but i don't keep seething at them tho, you entitled morons are hilarious
>>2967506If you don't have a trusted and credible home inspector as part of your home-buying toolkit, you should stick to renting.
>>2967506Brother in law is a fire inspector and does a lot of prebuilt condos. He says once they get enough units sold to start development they do the bare minimum that they need to by law and use the cheapest shit. So it's clickbait like all youtube but just barely. Also no wonder why speculators are backing out of condo development since no one wants to pay 500k to live in a shitty rundown place.
Got a few more sanding passes to do then its time for the osmo and ceramic coat
Merry Christmas
>>2967070New plants
>>2954723You eat garbageFucking normie
>>2967632You seem upset, is it because youre a non-White?
>>2956632>>2951410sorry bro i told your mom to clean up her snail trail after dragging her across the table
What do you think of butcher block countertops?
>>2967552I would use the stuff you use on butcher block cutting boards. If you beat up your countertop just sand and reapply the oil/wax.
>>2967578Just glue up pieces of wood with a waterproof wood glue, use biscuits for alignment, sand it and oil it. It's easy.
>>2967600You say it's easy, i say given that OP has to ask..
>>2967357And you're a complete Nutter asshole who didn't actually listen to anybody
>>2965922I'm more of a granite man.
I need any ideas for fireworks, i have few rocket salvo blocks and rockets on sticks also few hand thrown firecrackers, any ideas are appreciated!!!
You know exactly where to stick that.
>>2968088Barely... unless you tell me hehe
>>2968033>I need ideas for fireworksWhat the fuck does this even mean?
