Been thinking of getting into these. Anyone try making them? What's your setup? Everyone I see online is using a particle accelerator but maybe with a high enough voltage a more normal circuit could work?
>>2966549Lots of them seem to be getting taken down. I guess cause people keep trying the experiment themselves and dying.

>>2963501I won't say too much since this is my industry, but jojoba oil (actually a liquid wax not an oil) is a miracle ingredient if you're making anything that will have contact with skin.

>>2963710> cornstarch problems. it's not organic and not dissolvableCornstarch dissolves by rotting and being used as a food for mold, yeasts, and bacteria. It’s basically like glue.

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.
Show us a pic of your workbench/workstation where the magic happens. What kind of surface is your workbench? What kind of desk? etc.
>>2958406This is the inside workshop. Welding, lathe, mill, drill press, table saw, grinder, misc mechanics tools are in the garage. But I've got to pull the cars out to see them.

>>2961685>>2965831Alternatively you can always scrape some soldermask off the trace that went to the pad and either bridge it with solder or a jumper wire. But the diode being that close it's a no brainer.Regarding heat: If anything that joint was too hot, at least I cant think of anything that let's the pad come off the board so easily.To solder: Generally touch your iron to both the part and pad, add a quick dab of fluxcore solder (you're really adding flux here) it will improve heat transmission. Always think of heat capacity and also thermal insulation of parts. Shortly after add the remaining solder. Wait briefly and remove iron.That is for general soldering of fairly sigeable and insensitive parts.Look up how the look of a solder joint reveals issues like cold joints, cooked joints, too little flux etc.Have flux handy, mane forget about it but the flux core solder might not always be enough.Practice, practice, practice.

I fucked up...I saw this sandbag for sale online, and decided to buy it, but I have no idea what I even need to do to install it properly, I don't have or know how to use power tools, I don't know if I should buy some part to drill it directly on the ceiling, and I don't know what I should look for to even know where would it be safe to hang it. I searched for some youtube tutorials but everyone seems to asume I already have a drill and know how to use it.I'm in a concrete walls and ceiling house (the walls are made of those empty concrete blocks stuff), where should I start? I don't even know what are my options (hanging thing from the ceiling or wall mount? I have no idea if my ceiling or wall will withstand any of those) I'm seriously thinking about paying some expert, but I don't even know who should I talk to do it (I'm thinking about a construction worker, but I may be really wrong on that too).this is the bag I got (the 30kg one):https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394934350837
>>2964390hang it outside on a tree
Those bags aren't actually filled with sand. If they were they would be 10x the weight.
>>29643071 - just buy a stand for it.2 depending on how long it its, you really only need to suspend enough weight to keep it upright while you punch and kick it. Having if sway around while you are trying to practice is waste.
>>2964945one I got at a garage sale was full of ragsI did >>2964941then it got heavier after rainthen it started to smellI still kept it for a few years
update, I went to some sports and hardware stores in my town; and nobody there knew how to install the thing or did that service, they just sold the one for hanging on the ceiling, or the bags, some hardware store told me to get one online and look for a blacksmith to install it if I'm not sure what I'm doing (I don't even know if I should put one of the ceiling ones, or get one for the wall).I'm thinking of getting one for the wall which has the bar to do pull ups, and then see what to do.>>2965045>1 - just buy a stand for itthis is kind of an option, but the thing is worth like 4 times what I paid for the bag, so I'm not sure if it's really good idea, and if I can use it to do pull ups too or something else, or if it'll end up as a clothes hanger because of lack of use.
I run a kerosene shop heater, I use it sparingly, and I keep having fuel go bad every couple years. I used to be able to get it at the pump until a year ago when they remodeled the gas station and pulled out the kerosene pump. Now I have to buy the $10 a gallon I'm thinking of going propane. I mean, propane doesn't go bad, but also can be used for different things year round. Kerosene goes bad like diesel and gas, and only used for 1 season. Red pill me on going with a propane heater instead of keeping Kerosene

Op here again. I got some K-1, and it fired right up. I guess my heater just doesn't like Diesel

Generic 3-speed ceiling fan circa 80s or 90s makes buzzing noise at highest speed. I don't know what brand this is, I don't have a model number, but hopefully it's a similar enough widespread design.It makes excessive motor noise at the highest speed only. It sounds likely electric, like a buzzing, and it's definitely not the usual "motors just make noise" thing. It's something intrusively loud, and the noise seems to come and go some days, due to indeterminate factors.It's also not balanced, and is not grounded properly, but I don't know how likely that is to cause what I'm hearing.
>>2966390I just held the center of the fan and pushed up on the outer edge of the blades they bend way easier then they look
First thing I would do is dissassemble it and clean out everything inside. I've seen old ceiling fans with the motor area choked up with accumulated dust and it makes them not operate so well.
>>2966403It's wood, they're not gonna conform like metal.My plan was taking the blades off and ironing one side, so hopefully the wood would contract more on the top and pull the blades back up.
>>2966404That is a good point, it is dirty on top from being in a greasy kitchen for decades. We didn't even buy it new, it was trash picked for free about 25 years ago.
>>2966404>>2966469*so who knows what else it was subject to, and I wasn't living here all those 25 years, so I don't remember if it always acted like this when we had it.

Chat I want to build a high pressure high temperature water sprayer to use for washing dishes in a way that uses as little water as possible.I have a cabin in the woods which has no sink or plumbing etc so I just haul in water and for a while I just use paper plates and stuff but generating so much trash is retarded.Does it sound like the best way? Like a 7 holed spray nozzle at 150psi and 70c water temp or so is what I was thinking, around the 6L/m mark but if only need a few seconds to spray off the debris and then scrub it and spray another couple seconds idk. Does that sound reasonable? For the hot water I was thinking about building my own instant hot water heating system or just buying one. Also how can I store some water without it going bad?
Just let the food dry on the paper plates and burn them in your firepit you sperg. You're staying at a cabin in the woods don't even try to pretend you don't have a firepit, THAT would be retarded.
>>2963566You can even get wood utensils. I don't really camp but I keep a supply of those and paper plates/bowls.They're just handy to have beyond just dish convenience.

>>2953440I am going to let my kitchen faucet run overnight to make up for what OP is trying to save.My water is literally free because I'm near a mountain reservoir and there was a deal 40 years ago that they will provide water to this small district for free.
Hey guys! I recently moved into a run-down apartment and the landlord, who's an old lady, wants to make a deal with me that I install flooring for her and she will reduce my rent which I would could really appreciate! I'm kinda handy with tools (worked on cars and motorcycles and have painted my dad's house) but have never installed flooring. I went to Homeless Despot and checked out prices and types of floorings and it seems that vinyl flooring is the go-to these days.I was looking at those rigid "tiles" that interlock (like the chad in pic) and not those flexible tiles with glue. I think that's the way to go.How difficult is it to install these things?Anyone here done it themselves? Any tips on how to calculate how much I need (I can calculate square footage but I'm not sure if I need to add few percent to that figure.Anyway, please HALP!
>>2961304THIS.>>2961307>She's willing to put everything into a contract and she will pay for materials. I don't see how I can lose.There are several ways you can get fucked over here--True you might not, but make sure that contract is what YOU want it to be, and have 2 copies that are NOTARIZED.>Landlady owns a rundown propertyThat's ALL you have to know.I was renting a "Run down property" from an old biddy at $450/month with the same sort of deal, even written into the rental agreement in terms I was good with..Then the old cunt started losing her mind and decided at one point that I was trying to take advantage of her.(I found out later it was the FAT boomer Daughter bending her ear because she wanted the property,) As soon as fucking "Sarah" had seized control of the house, she did a walkthrough and said she could rent it for $900/month.I told her that's ONLY because of all the work I'd done on the place, and like a typical Fat boomer cunt she said, well your lease is up next month, This was 16 days away) and if you don't want to pay it, you can just go to another place.She also tried to keep my security deposit by making up a bunch of shit. I'd left the place immaculate.I had a similar thing happen AGAIN but in a different way.It was the fucking daughters again.You could definitely do this, anon Just dont fuck yourself over on price.Comment too long.

>>2962618>he's not footing the bill and is actually getting paid to do it.technically OP mentioned a reduction in rent, which technically isnt paying him. and as I stated, if he moves out and the landlord rents it out again she can jack up the rent price because of the new floors. which will amont to more money for her than she lost in reducing his rent some. you seem to not have a clue how renting works when it comes to the condition of the place. the better it looks the more they will ask for rent. now go back to your moms basement and go to bed kid.
Oh hey what a coincidence, I have a similar situation. Going to be renting an apartment next month that's going to be delivered basically completely bare. The corp I'm renting it from has some rulings about leaving it behind bare unless the next renter is willing to take stuff over.I'm not sure how much I should cheap out on the flooring. It's bare concrete currently (last renter had some disgusting vinyl mat flooring). Going to be living there for a few years at least, but since I might have to strip it all out anyway when I move. I'm not sure how much effort I should put into it. Been thinking of just going with some cheap laminat.
>>2961414What for?Aven 6-7mm thick vinyl can be cut with a box cutter, it's insanely fast compared to fucking with some tools, one swipe with a straightedge and you're done, no dust, no sawing, no cleanup
Hi /diy/, I'm planning to build a custom gaming wheel and I want to use an optical mouse sensor to track the steering input. Has anyone here done this before? I'm looking for advice on:The best way to mount the sensor relative to the steering column.How to handle the axis conversion (making the PC recognize mouse X-axis as a joystick/wheel axis).Any specific mouse models or DIY controllers (like Arduino/STM32) you'd recommend for this setup?Any tips or build logs would be appreciated. Thanks!
>>2966386arent you going to the frontlines to absorb Ukrainian drones, pidor?
I live in a Coleman camper like pic rel. I need to soundproof from a low pitch high volume noise. Would I install mass loaded vinyl in the outside and cover that with some material? What could I do?Unfortunately there are some budget concerns.
>>2965824Guessing you don't want to rip out the interior? If you did that you could apply sound-deadener to inside of outer skin (Dynamat type) and add closed cell acoustic foam before panels go back up. You then need to deaden single-pane windows. You could make foam panels that sty on with velcro when needed. Of, you could move your trailer.
Are you unfamiliar with the noise insulation and vibration insulation of the car? Looks like a sheet of plasticine.
>OP builds a mobile rape dungeon
Are we talking like a generator something sitting outside? If it's yours it might be easier to barrier the source than insulate the caravan. If it's a single tone you could look into helmholtz resonators for inside. Other than that your options are to add as much mass as you can to the wall or blast pink noise inside so you don't notice it as much.
>find source of noise>spray it with bullets
So I have a 2nd floor deck and...under it is a sitting area plus two doors, concrete pad. Is there a practical way to make my deck a kind of roof so rain water isn't drizzling down onto this sitting area?idea 1: caulk the gapsidea 2: some type of metal sub floor under the deck acting as a water catch. The deck itself isnt huge, something like 7 by 15 feet. Looking for ideas that are simple.
Could you get one of those retractable awning deals and hook it to the house and have a place to hook it slightly lower at the deck support poles so it slopes and diverts the water out? Also that way you could retract it when it isn't raining and keep leaves and dirt from getting built up under the deck. If you did steel under the deck I'm afraid it would catch debris and cause the deck to rot after a while...
buy some corrugated plastic and hang it underneath...
>>2966309Just hand some waterproof canvas under the deck. Make sure there's a bit of slope away from the house to it doesn't just collect water.
>>2966319get some of this shit, but cover the upper deck with a frame built off the deck, that extends past the deck in both directions.then use same, or maybe glass blocks, to make walls with doorway.

I want to build a small trampoline to help my grandma exercise her feet. I want the 'jumpy' part to be no more than 12×18 inches, that's how I would size it for myself and I've yet to measure her feet but the size isn't important what I want to know as a heavily medicated brainlet is what tools and materials I need and how do I work them and who else makes trampolines and whatever. This trampoline is not for jumping it's just for pushing your feet into while you sit, I think it would make her calves stronger. Also it has to be made out of wood I'm not a welder. Thanks.
start here
>>2965821>to help my grandmayou put granny on a trampoline you are going to help into intensive care then a wheel chair. All she needs to do is regular and front calf exercises and walking up and down the stairs. Take her to the beach or where there is some sand to air her out and get some practice walking on sand, but be with her to help keep her from falling.
>>2965864Thank you>>2965969This is giving me ideas, thank you.>>2966099You didn't read the full post lol. We're many miles from a beach and she doesn't have stairs in her apartment. Maybe in summer though, good idea.
>>2966123>she doesn't have stairs in her apartment.I know this sounds crazy, but take her somewhere where there are stairs, you know like the local mall where women love to walk and shop. Don't ignore the front and regular calf rasies - all you need is 2x4 to stand on with some shoes and a door way to hold for support. Feet, calves, legs are the foundation for stability. She can do partial squats holding on to door way for support. Go and do it with her, but the trampoline for an old person is certain disaster, espcially if she was not athletic as a young girl.
>>2965969cool, but how do they keep kids from turning into sling shots?
