Are you guys into sorting scrap metal and alloys? What's your source? Do you just dive into trash, or have an agreement with local business and just take broken electronics and cables from time to time?
>>3005841Oh I'm sure (they) will do something to fuck it up for everyone. God forbid people who produce food be able to make a living without starving to death themselves...
Can I get like a "gun" type laser thing to point at metals so it can tell me shit about what it's made of, even rough grading?
>that guy who holds up the line/bay for 30 minutes cutting all those steel beams because they wont fitWhy don't scrap yards tell them to just drive around.

I'm an aspiring woodworker and I want my own space for working my projects.>But I live in a tiny, shitty one bedroom apartment>I hate it with a passion>I'm also pretty sure it's making me depressed and resentfulWhat would be a good and cost-effective way to have my very own work space?I plan to move out and rent a house for my family and I.And if I can't ever get my own workshop space, should I just stop coping and get back to the minimal wage job I hate and despise?

mainly looking at milling aluminum parts and adapters for my projects and making PCBsis the 4th axis addon worth the $400 in terms of upgrading its capabilities?what other tools or addons should I look into getting? I don't think the laser module is worth it.
>>3008737the software is trashAussie guy made proper review on it, the guy hand build himself 5axis and sold it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOkjya7fWks
>>3008737I was an early adopter on rapid prototyping, I’m going to hold out for the gen 2 or gen 3 of desktop at home 110v cnc milling before anything. Personally delving into products you design at home and machine out of 6061 puts you against dudes that have serious fucking capital ad will make your at home chatterbox make it look like the amateur operation it is With 3D printing the cost markup was enough to justify the sloppy shit finish With actual real fucking machine time you’re looking at waste and noise levels unheard of for home
Why does the Mitsubishi cost 4 times more than the no name brand?
>>3006349Mrcool does, but it's purely because that's their gig since they don't leak gas.

>>3007201art deco will always surpass whatever the hell modern designers are trying to do
>>3007950Outside of some of the better made MCM furniture (I hate MCM architecture) and Scandinavian Design I haven't actually liked a single furniture or architectural style that peaked after WWII. Not that I liked everything that came before either but really nothing from the last 75 years. It is all just so awful.I don't even bother with stuff that has any kind of prominent 'design style'. I'd rather slum it with a simple ranch-style house, where you might get a dovecote if they were feeling fancy, that is more form follows function than most other things since. They are so based in the materials used you can completely change the look of the place by painting it. Picture related. Someone turned this simple ranch house into a soulless piece of shit in a day with paint from Home Depot. You can't do that with an Second Empire-style house.They are the 'plain' flavor of the modern era. Not that they are good, mind you, but they are kind of a blank canvas. It takes little effort to turn them into something else and they are actually good designs for their locations. I wouldn't build them someplace that gets a lot of snow but at least they don't have a flat roof. Most modern 'architects' can't design a place that doesn't leak. ranch houses are practical.

tbdesu, I know jack shit about shelving but want to make this 48U rack (two of it) to fit this template I made using Racula.
>>3008225nothing i hate more than a rack full of non racked stuff sorry.unless you are surrounded by people throwing old racks out constantly, you might consider just building a normal shelf.stick welder, angle grinder, and some 1/2' equal angle or square tube. go fucking wild.will the computer be fine next to plasma globe and some big fucking transformers? yeah probably. but why risk it.if you want to rack servers get rack cases WITH RAILS. pulling a sideways sitting computer from the bottom of a pile of old computers stuffed in a rack gets super fucking old super fucking quickly.you know rack you need access front and back right. for cables and shit.
>>3008245Yeah I've got two 14 inch mega globes. But I'm at the stage where I have it just for display. I built them so perfectly aware of the radiated RF.
>>3008247bahhhh.. Any sites where I can just get the frame and shelving separately? I'd love to add rails to it but have to read up on how to balance the load given my first rack will be at least 26 inches from the rubber standoffs. Looks like I might have to just stick it and go for a homedepot steel shelving units.
>>3008265Use tech data
>>3008265Check around with businesses in the area and see if you can talk to the IT guys. I'm not kidding - we had tons of old rails and even a small rolling server rack that got thrown away and I could think of three other companies in the same building, that were the same way. You promise to haul that shit away and you could easily score some 6ft racks and shelving.
Sometimes the sink in the garage has a sewage smell coming up out of it, I though a P trap was supposed to stop that from happening but I am kind of ignorant, is there something really fucked up with this setup that you can see just from this?
>>3007480Wait, wouldn't you need the vent after the S trap, not before it? With this drawing you'd just have two air inlets on one side of the S trap to just siphon the water faster, right?
>>3007663yes his drawing is retarded, do the ai anons thing here >>3007483but with these t's >>3007650make sure you put it the right direction.you need a 1 1/2" trap kit, a san t, a coupling, like 3ft of 1.5" abs, and an auto vent.
>>3007461that u trap is in the wrong place, no wonder your sink smells
>>3007461Wtf is that? Landlord special?
>>3007461Check if your cleanout (the place where all the pipes lead, I dunno if I called it correctly) doesn't have another hole at the bottom that lowers the water level and let the air enter. I'm having this shit rn but I'm a rentcuck so nothing I can(and will) do.
I dont know if this is the right board or not so feel free to delete this threadBasically all the electricity and lights in my apartment go off suddenly out of nowhere, but there is a switch that i use to bring the electricity back, however for some reason now everytime i click on the switch it reverses back and the electricity goes off again after secondsDoes anyone know why is that?
>>3007881Egypt>AC system, electric ovenYeah i have an AC unit and an electric oven>if it's actually breaker in a panelYesThe entire apartement complex belongs to my mother, she's my landlord(even though i dont pay rent) i live in one of those apartments, ill just have to pay the electrician myself
>>3007878Unless the wire was originally sized for 32A or 64A, do not put a larger breaker in unless you change the wire. Amperes (amps), which are what the breaker limits, are what will melt wires and burn down houses.Think of the wire size like a river valley and the amps as the flow of the river. A breaker is like a dam upstream that limits how much water can flow. If the dam allows more water to flow than the river valley can handle, you're going to have a flood.>>3007888Make sure you get a real electrician and not some guy that thinks he's an electrician. An amateur plumber fills your house with shit. An amateur electrician burns your house down with you in it.
>>3007918Thanks, ill consider that
>>3007872Just remember that usually you have to deposit your rent at some government account, in order to formally have "paid rent", but the landlord still doesn't get it. Depending on how the landlord handles it you can get most of it back later. Do not just unilaterally withhold rent without covering your bases, that is grounds for eviction.
Quality bait thread
Is there any commercial roofing contractors here that do Sika? Is it worth it to get certified (I.e. spec bid leads)? I do almost 100% Carlisle now (a lot of Velcro roofs), but we've got some KEE modified PVC to do and we sort of have a reputation as a "Cadillac" contractor. Also, commercial roofing general I guess.
>>3006974>(slaps urals) you can fit so much superior shit west of thesemay we see the superiority?>uh no

>>3006631is this shit any good or a meme?its about $2/tube more than dap shit so the price isnt that big of a deal (although 90 zimbabwe bucks a case for caulk feels obscene)obviously 3m 5200 @ $25/tube isnt in the budget or id just butter everything with that wonderful sticky impervious shit
This doesn't look very efficient. Just air sorta flowing over the limited surface area of the pond, and sorta helped by the tower pulling in more air?I'd make a zig-zag canal of elevated steel trench with fins on inside and out, similar to car radiator, not a massive tower.Make two to have one for back up and when the other is being worked on.

You know how your modern vacuum cleaner, after 2 hours of work, runs out of battery and clogs up with hair so you have to do additional 2 hours of cleaning on the vacuum itself? I've been exploring the alternatives to cleaning the dust off my floor properly, and have been wondering what would be the best thing to get, so I got on 4chan to see what people think.I've watched an episode of How To with John Wilson, and heard about something called a Hoover Constellation vacuum cleaner, which practically floats and cleans very effectively. It's one of those old American products that worked much better that are now replaced by cheap Chinese shit.On the other hand, I could just get a decent broom and simply clean with that, going with the traditional approach rather than modern "efficiency" that compromises proper cleaning. I don't mind doing the manual work, I care more about the authentic, genuine quality of the work itself. So I wondered, does 4chan know of any hidden gems, secrets, or great hidden history behind cleaning dust, that may make this choice easier?
>>3007721The water is the filter
>>3007721They all have a HEPA filter at the exhaust end.
>>3007758Mine doesn't. I guess it's too old to have a hepa filter
>>3003329>runs out of battery >clogs up with hair Try an old one with cord and a rotating brush for hair catching. Replugging and cleaning the brush shouldn't add more than 30 minutes. If there's a major hair or dirt problem just manually broom the floors and brush the carpets before vacuuming. You should wipe the floors every now and then anyways.>>3003510I use a scrub brush for this.>>3007932>too old to have a hepa filterHow ancient is it?
>>3008335>How ancient is it?Maybe 30 yo.
Needed some shelves for the basement mainly to store home canned stuff. Maybe went a bit overboard with the size and sturdiness, but it's what I had on hand and I kinda like the result. Thoughts? Advice?

>>2988987Dick Smith in the 80's was pretty crazy walking down the aisles with rows upon rows of resistors, caps, transistors, battery holders, meters and billions of other bits. Plus you could get templates to make up your own amplifiers, AM radios, antennas and other proper nerd shit from scratch. Invaluable for fixing your own shit when something popped.That model of retail went out pretty quick by the 90's though and they'd just sell you some cheap taiwanese stuff instead of any kind of DIY apart from plugging it in.
>>3007231>The 6809 kicked the 6502’s ass—hard.It had a built in multiplication unit in the ALU, which was good, but for some reasons, the executions were bad. The Dragon and Coco were slow as molasses and you could type faster than the basic interpreter could handle. That never happened on the 6502 based BBC.As for feature count, the 6309 had even more registers.
>>3007539I went to a big electronics store brand from my country and asked if they have multimeters (I know they used to have those ~10 years ago)First employee didn't know what that means, whipped out his phone looking it up while walking to another employee"A multiwhat?" she didn't know eitherDidn't really believe either of them, went downstairs in the store and asked a younger employee. He just said "We don't have those here"I'm still a zoomer, but I remember electronics stores actually having electronics and not just consoomer slop.Big ass sections of the store dedicated to smart watches, apple slop and RGB keyboards, but nothing useful
>>3007742I went to a local computer store recently to see if they sold motherboards. Nope. No power supplies, fans, or cases either. Forget about optical drives or sound cards. They had RAM, GPUs, and SSDs but no 'low ticket' items. Only things that cost a lot and were common upgrades to existing systems. Nothing you could use to repair anything. High end sound systems? Nah. We do have two racks dedicated to headphones, headsets, and earbuds though. What about shitty tablets and laptops? Do you want a printer? Or better yet, ink? Sorry, no, we don't carry laser printers or toner. Not enough repeat business or markup on those. How about ethernet cables at $5 a foot? Or better yet, wireless access points from the shittiest companies sold at 200% markup? RGB mice and keyboards from Chinese companies you've never heard of? Guaranteed to last at least until you get it home.It looked like picture related inside. I should have turned around and walked right back out.

I'm a cabinet maker looking to make a workshop for woodworking, metalworking, and some basic electronics. I have nothing in the space right now but I have a bunch of cabinets and a bench top ready if that's the best use of the space. What and how should I fill the area? How should it be organized?
>>3004918Probably don't need a laser cutter CNC for something like this.
Here's what I have so far. I used the 800mm cabinets because I have 6 wire frame drawers that fit behind regular doors. I'd prefer using the 600mm cabinets but I think drawers that don't hold dust would be better than an open shelf cabinet.Cabinets I can get for very cheap due to minor damage:Base: 150mm, 4x600mm, 450mm, Wall : 800mm, 2x300mm.Special cabinets: 300mm(h) x 300mm(d) x 900mm(w)

>>3007485>i asked a computer to guesswell if you are competent (clearly not or you wouldn't be asking) why don't you simply diagnose the issue yourself, take the oven out, open it up, turn it on, measure the voltage across the heating element. or if you don't want to turn it on you can measure the resistance of the element and compare to a good one or the spec you find online.and if you don't think you are capable of that then you call a guy who is.could be the element, could be the wiring, could be safety cutout (makes sense the fan would still run to cool it down) could be the rheostat like other anon said. nobody knows until you get more information. so how could an ai know whats wrong with your oven? doesn't make sense does it.
