I'm doing a refurbish on an old guitar. Trying to polish up the chrome hardware, and took a look into electroplating. Seems pretty simple, and I might actually invest in a proper benchtop power supply to do it.Anyone have experience with electroplating? Tips & tricks?
>>2850075> nevr-dullThis shit is based as fuck and ancient
>>2850075this stuff, cleaning the family silver Would get everybody in the room stoned.
>>2850443how? was there a gas leak? was the family crack heads? Were they drinking spiked cocktails because there is no way they got high off of fumes from neverdull
>>2850075Fpbp. Why the fuck are so many of you retards incapable of a simple Google search?
>>2850070ive done it with an 19v dc laptop battery. its pretty easy. you dont even need to have a liquid container to dip it on. just get one terminal on your dry bare piece you wish to coat and the other one on the metal you wish to coat with. wrap it with a cloth or something that can absorb liquid. dip the cloth on the electrolyle and scrub the piece you wish to coat with. ive done alot of derusting with this technique, its really good for large surfaces you cant simply dunk on electrolyte.
Do I diy it or buy one pre-made?Either way I'll do the hole and weld it in the box meselfCan get a door with frame for like £800
>>2849895you can see the frame flange welded to the tube in this pic
>>2849907>>2849905Yeah I've seen a lot of those and I'm not very interested in going that route, if I had to diy it all I'd do the 1x3 tube yeah and then some 1/2x3/4 box around it to make it a door frame and just hang a door in that, but it appeals to me just driving up to the port and buying a whole door from an outfitter and putting it in
>>2849895>>2849921>how do i /diy/>i dont want to /diy/well then why did you bother asking?
>>2849969It's still diy if I buy an assembled frame and weld it into a container vs buying one with a door already
>>2849895Not all frames suit container corrugations (for side doors) or blank ends or end doors but an angle frame is a breeze to weld. I support the door horizontally and level, then use welding stands to support the frame. I shim the door clearance between the door and frame so zero risk of fucking that up.Use quality sealant. The HV version doesn't sag and of course it's UV resistant. I just sealed some door trim and end vertical gaps between my side-by-side welded container shop with it.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWMV8XJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWMV8XJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I want to make a diy hyperbarric oxygen therapy chamber because I am fucking poorI am thinking of buying steel sheets and then soldering them together in a tube, capping off the ends and hopefully in future when I get enough money I will buy a compressor and oxygen concentratorthoughts?
>>2847937Some runner or athlete did it to blood dope. If memory serves he used a concrete culvert pipe, and pieces of polycarbonate at each end, but when the opposite way. For Oscar Delahoyas last fight he went and trained in Colorado at 7,000 feet. The theory being then in Vegas at sea level, he'd be blood doping breathing normal oxygen levels. So this other guy slept in his concrete chamber, on, his backyard patio....so he didn't have to move to high altitude and would be over charged walking around in regular life. Pretty smart. His atmospheric pump was in the one sheet of ploy and I think he just leg pressed it out in the morning, or it had a equalize pressure button on the inside.Still, very cool project, anon. I saved your thread cause I'm the only person who knows how to use this site>catalog>page 10>save good threads
>>2847937Cpap mask, tubing, regulator, nitrogen tank.
>>2850769Can't pretend you are weapon x though if you just look like you are on life support...
>>2847937You're probably gonna wanna add an O2 sensor with an automated atmospheric release valve if the O2 level drops below a dangerous threshold to make sure the thing doesn't kill you if you take a nap or something and the O2 pump cuts off. And make sure you can open it from the inside, and that nothing is nearby which could block the door and get you trapped in a coffin.

Seethe all you want, picrel is the most widely and versatile tool in the whole planet
>>2850889So you assumed I meant that anon didn’t even post a DC comic book? Or that Anon didn’t have an Ace of Base CD but I misspelled CD?
>>2850849That's German mid tier, sure top anywhere else. Weidmüller, Belzer (gone) Stahlwille Bernstein and Wago are class of its own (and on a different price tag) you're not willing to pay because you never worked with real German tools..
>>2850902But it's not based.
>>2850955Forgot, the Knipex in the OP is a Weidmüller tool.
If my water meter is inside my house, does that mean I can rule out a water main leak if I turned off the water supply and the meter is still running? A lot of stuff I read online are houses that have their meter away from their house and a water leak means it's between the meter and the house underground.
Assuming the meter is turning without you using water, prompting you to investigate for a leak:Scenario 1>water meter is before shutoff valve>water meter stops with valve closedWater leak is after valveScenario 2>water meter is before shutoff valve>water meter keeps going with valve closedWater leak is between meter and valveScenario 3>shutoff valve is before water meter>water meter stops with valve closedComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2850446If the meter is running, that means water is exiting the system somewhere after the meter and new water is coming in to replace it. So if you have the main water shutoff valve closed, and the meter is inside your house and you can see that there are no leaks between the meter and that valve, and the meter is still going, that's kind of impossible. In that scenario there must be an offshoot pipe somewhere between the meter and valve that you're not seeing which is using water.As for a leak before the meter, that would not be detectable by looking at the meter since a leak before the meter wouldn't cause flow though the meter, it would just lower your water pressure.
>does that mean I can rule out a water main leak if I turned off the water supply and the meter is still running?it means you didn't actually turn off the water
>>2850859>>2850890I was hoping that the meter was broken bu I turned it off and while it did move slightly after it was off, it didn't move at all for the hours after it was off so it tells me there is a leak somewhere in my house. Once I turned it back on, I could hear water moving slightly which tells me that there is indeed a leak somewhere since new water is coming in to replenish the pipes.
>>2850924You failed to define "slightly"It's probably your hot water tank or that retard chamber with an air pouch that maintains pressure.In my water lines, there's a little unscrewable cap, maybe a bleeder valve or something, it looks like a tire valve cap.Inside there was a dry rotted gasket and after servicing my water lines elsewhere, upon turning the water back on, this dry rotted gasket began to leak. I just took an oring if a similar size, stuck it in there, screwed it back on, and it's been holding.You could have anything from a running toilet to a bad sink knob that's just slowly fills up and evaporated off before dripping Or the inside of your walls could be completely saturated and full of mold A thermal camera and moisture detector can help you find this leak
has anyone here built a Corseti-Rosenthal box before?I'm considering building one before winter comes, given that I'll be indoors all day when that happens.
>>2850596Yes.
why face it upwards, I don't understand. that's not how a box fan is supposed to work.
>>2850603god that cut is so clean. 10/10>>2850604turbulent fast flowing air is more likely to deposit dust onto surfaces. This means pointing the fan up and having the fastest air be directed up towards the ceiling and the most turbulent air at the highest point in the room is good. The intake is also closer to the floor, which is where the dust travels as it settles.
>>2850605I get that, but most box fans aren't designed to be used in this orientation. I feel like a proper blower fan would fit this application a lot better.
>>2850603What do you cut the circle with? Jigsaw?
I wouldnt wish fixing these fuckin things on my worse enemies
>>2848126>New 3DS or New 3DS XL are amazing all in one units and idk why anyone would use an OG DS or lite outside of nostalgia.Playing physical copies? but then just get a gameboy advance so then you can also play regular gameboy games.
>>2848597No, not physical copies but it can run the ROMs natively which are trivial to get. It can play 3DS, obviously, DS, and GBA natively then emulate anything 2D including Gameboy which it does plenty fast to be imperceptible from running natively.Why bother with carts when you can load literally hundreds of games onto an SD card and carry your entire library in your pocket all at once?
>>2847617I have a working UK 3DS and pokemon omega sapphire and ocarina of time carts. How much can I sell this shit for?
>>2848809nta but that is probably a good few hundred bucks on ebay
>>2847600They're not too bad to fix, I got a whole stack of em.The main problem I find is the shell being shitty. Replacement shells are all cheap garbage.
can a diaphram pump handle 100M/350ft of elevation gain?I am trying to pump wader. i have access to a wader pipeline that is around 30psi, but it is at the base of a hill, and there is existing pipe work to go up the hill to a tankit look like they used a very big pump powered by fuel in the past but i want to use a small electric pumpI found this pump that does 13 bar which would be enough to push the water up the hill but how do I know if it will work. is a diaphragm pump good enough for this task? what to real installers use for such a task? I'd very much rather do it in one pump instead of multiple stages, I only need like 3-4L/m also this pump it is for a car wash
Looks good senpai.
>>2848678Thanks fampai
Consider adding a check valve.
>>2848817I'm considering one every so often in the pipe since there's a few points where it's exposed
i buyed the pump, it comes in this week i think

are you finger?looks wild, you guys need some calcium carbide for next year
>>2849444This looks really cool actually. I’m not sure what the guy with the turbo is doing. It looks loaded with the German geek humor I kinda appreciate. Reminds me a bit of those early computer days hacker conferences in DE/NL10/10 would ask supermarket for their tube system
>>2849470No, I'm just a normal member of that group.Calcium carbide, we had something similar last year. Some guy made mylar bags with some spicy gas in there, and set them off yround the compound. This year, we decided to do explosive stuff in a more organized way...>>2849475The turbo guy is one of the most active members. He does weird stuff with propane every year. The tube he attached to the turbo created an intense whistling sound for a short while, trying to reproduce that was not successful unfortunatelly.But it is great fun for everyone, lots of insider jokes, a real holiday for the soul.Here are the images from last year:https://fingers-welt.de/gallerie/eigen/sozial/treffen2023/treffen2023.htmVideo:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJGOk7GIRUc
my faucet is like picrel except its shorter and wider mouth, the flow practically touching the back of the sink top.pic below is the under of my sink, do I just twist the knob and remove whatever's connected to the faucet and replace it?
>>2849400Well, depending on how old those angle valves are, now may be a good time to replace them. That IS for a plumber to do. If <10 years old, OP can just replace the faucet without need for a plumber.OP: make sure those valves on the pipes coming out from the wall are securely rotated until you can't turn them anymore. Check the fauce to see if there is any leakage/water flow. If not, proceed as above and replacee the faucet. If leakage, stop and call a plumber or somebody who knows what to do.
>>2849401>That IS for a plumber to doYou sound like a faggot.
>>2849401>calling a plumber to change a valvebet you also call a "specialist" to fuck your wife too, faggot
>>2849399>plumber's teflon tape. It's inexpensive but necessaryit isn't. most faucets nowadays have o-rings. And even if they don't, teflon thread is better, as the tap will bunch up if you use too much, while the thread will just compress into the screw's threads.>First, we loosen the brass screw that's on the moveable drain rod that raises and lowers the plugThat's not always necessary. Depends on whether the rod is connected to the faucet, or separate from it.
>>2849399This pretty much. It’s easy, make sure the new one is supposed to fit the same size hole as the one you took out. Household stuff like that is all mostly pretty standardized as long as it’s not funky custom expensive crap or hacked together by boomers.

Hi DIY, not sure where else I would post this. Happened across an important discovery that I really can't find corroborated anywhere else on the internet. I was doing a schizo deworm regimen earlier this year with veterinary ivermectin paste as the primary agent. I also happened to be dealing with a long-term bedbug infestation that I couldn't fully eradicate. Once I began the deworm regimen it took about 2 weeks to notice I wasn't getting bitten anymore, which had definitely been happening every night until then. I put two and two together and figured the ivermectin was disrupting the endocrine system or whatever of the bedbugs. There was flareups where I started dosing again, but I haven't been bitten for a month now and I think they might finally be gone. Did not spread any diatomaceous earth or execute any chemical/heat treatment after I started the ivermectin dosing. Pretty certain of the correlation, which would make dealing with bedbugs a LOT easier.Where else should I promulgate this discovery?
>>2848889No I didn't have any worms, I think it was actually the viral protocol. Cannot say whether it did anything to increase my health.https://floridasharkman.org/>>2848934No idea this was a thing. Practically impossible to find corroborating sources
>>2849111https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23871326/
Theres a small n-size study that showed ivm vs placebo works concurrently with your experience. From what i remember it was something like:>>ivm dosage killed ~80% biting adults and the subsequent nymphs were not able to make it to adult stageJust search ncbi ivermectin bed bugs im sure itll turn up. Mechanism of action is the ivm disables chloride-regulating channels for invertebrates and paralyzed them.I also tried this once whenni escaped the bugs. Can't say for sure if it worked since I left the infested place behind and maintained extreme precautionary measure in the new place.
>>2849184so does this work on all arthropods? I've been thinking about using ivermectin infused peanut butter to lower tick population, but the evidence I've read seems to imply it doesn't work.
>>2848934>>2849111>>2850387Works for any bugs that bite. They use ivermectin for dogs and Revolution (selamectin) for cats, so anytime I flea treat my pets and still get bit, I just dose myself as well and all the fleas in the house are gone. Also handy if you go innawoods, kills any ticks or chiggers that bite you for about 2 days. For anyone who doesn’t want to Taste the Paste, it does work as a topical treatment for chiggers, too.
Why do boomers refuse to use PPE? Do they enjoy having their toes crushed and their skulls cracked?
>>2849163>How about you wear the gloves, in addition to using push sticksyeah i love operating dangerous tools with a two-stage indirect sense of touch via non-gripping utensils, this is definitely helpful to me and will not get me injured at all when i can't feel shit and the stick slips off. thank you PPEman
Some people, especially boomers are just determined to die in some stupid "accident".I have watched them get so angry about the existence of seatbelts that they run into stationary objects.
>>2843029While I agree with you, I wear PPE any time I'm in the factory I work at, just to continue having it be the norm. Monkey see monkey do, and some coworkers should really wear all PPE all of the time, even outside work.
>>2842423Tradies are retards
>>2842699I deliver PPE so I get around to a lot of job sites. Part of it is companies buy the cheapest shit possible. No one with medium sized hands wants to wear XL leather gloves. Cheap stuff is uncomfortable especially cheap hardhats. That said guys are retards and lose their gear all the time or steal it so their wives can have garden gloves. And they need to provide PPE by law so I can't blame them for not wanting to spend loads of money on stuff people won't take care of. The places that buy nicer stuff generally have a high caliber of worker and they wear their gear because its more comfortable and functional.
I have a Mp200 installed inside a table, inside a box, including the monitor of my dining table I built for arcade entertainment.I'm having trouble keeping it cool right now. I'd like to drill holes to install fans. I've got some spare PC fans that are 12V. But I don't know how to run the fans. Ideally, I'd like them to spin as long as the PC is on, but I'm not sure how to hook them into the MP200. Ideas?
