reversible knitting pattern! use whatever gauge you want. this can be used to make scarves or dishcloths...
>>2992420>Back in college I made this scarf: https://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTbinary.html and designed the ASCII to say YOUR MOTHER IS A FUCKING WHORE. But it's a super warm scarf so I'm still wearing it; people routinely ask me what it says and then I have to lieTHAT IS SO COOL!!! agreed there arent super easy ways to do single color knit wordy stuff. i love the scarf!
>>2992420Are there stitches other than knit and purl?
>>2992351Will this help with my ADHD?
>>2992525if i say yes, will you do the pattern?
>>2992481There's various ways of increasing and decreasing, plus stuff like wrapping or elongating stitches, but basically, yeah. There are two stitches and everything else is a variation on those. >>2992441It's a great scarf and I get all sort of compliments on it. Knitting six feet of tubing is a pain in the ass but it was totally worth it
6.75×5.25m total, comprised of two structures in one. solar shed is 2.5×5.25m. barn side is 4.25×5.25m.solar equipment shed was built by me and my 81-82 y/o (at the time) dad from 4/2023 to 6/2024. barn construction began 2/2025 and was bult mostly by me with some help from my wife. wife's rabbit business partner/friend and her husband helped install the steel roof and siding. the roll-up door arrives in 4 weeks, but the actual building(s) construction is complete as of 5/2026.solar shed houses inverter & batteries with our smaller 2440w array mounted on the roof. larger 4450w array is ground mounted just south of it. power to the house is buried in conduit that runs under the barn side. shed also stores building materials and garden tools. Barn side is dedicated to wife's rabbit business.shed side is 2x4 walls, 2x6 rafters, on concrete slab foundation, OSB sheathing and composition shingle roof. barn side is pole barn construction with 4x4 posts set 1m deep in concrete, furring strips between posts for steel R-panel siding and roof. there is one 2x4 stud wall on the north, also furred for steel siding, but it is not load bearing in the traditional sense. the barn currently has a dirt floor.all built on an extreme budget using lots of repurposed & scrap materials. shed cost aboot $975 all-in. barn was more expensive, less scrap/repurposed material @ $4,150. total structure $5,175 includes every screw, wire, conduit, panel, lumber, doors, window, concrete & trench machine rental.solar system provides 85%-110% of our power, total cost: $15,200. system layout designed by me, DIY install, grid-tied, non-export, self-consumption. all pricing in CAD. Dad's still happy, healthy and doing Dad stuff with Mum @ their house.

Turd worlder here. No one in my country does 3D printing. Looking to get into it on a semi commercial scale. I say semi commercial as most of the projects will be one off plastic parts for electronics or car parts that are hard to get ahold of and there would be the occasional project of about 100+ units for a product/project. There are about 2 machine shops in the whole country and neither of them are interested in getting into it as they are busy enough according to most people.Before sinking into a commercial one I would get a hobby one to learn the process a bit and get used to certain aspects before I dump money on a larger faster machine. Though I would like to look at machines and processes to see if the cost would be viable where I could get a good flow of work within a year that I could ditch some other trickle projects I have going on and need to get out of. Is there any particular direction I should put my focus? Anything that I could overlook while scrolling forums gathering info etc.?
>>2992497>Is there any particular direction I should put my focus?yah. instructional reading comprehension and checking the catalog before posting >>>/3dpg/
>>2992497First off, we have a 3D printing general, next time ask there.Consumer printers range in the $200~$800, semi-professional are around $1000~$2500, "professional" printers come with an ever higher price tag. I'm using scare quotes there because in this day and age two grands will get you as good of a general purpose machine as you can get.When it comes to brands you have three choices: Bambu, for the Apple experience of being locked in a walled garden, Prusa for the open source angle, and everyone else for saving a buck at the expense of varying degrees of pain.You may want to consider Prusa, simply because you will be able to maintain them indefinitely thanks to the open source nature of their products. Also they're reliable print-farm grade machines. The downside is that technically speaking they're often not the latest and greatest, and have an above average price tag.You need then to get your fundamentals of material science, to understand what properties to prioritize for each print, depending on the final application of the part.Personally, in your position, I'd get a closed chamber (better if temperature controlled out of the box) printer, which is necessary for the higher temperature materials needed in automotive applications, with a print volume of about (300mm)^3, and either a dual nozzle head or, better, a toolchanger system. There are a number of options that fit the bill currently. Also, skip the "hobby" one, because you run the risk of buying a piece of crap, or falling straight into Bambu's conspiring hands.
>>2992500>>2992506Lord. I looked and totally glanced over that. Thanks>>2992506Thanks again for the added info.
i love having a shed, i can just go out and paint things at 9:45 pm. all my wood is dry. and i built its all myself.
>>2987293Not sure if sarcasm but I think he means the stickers on the tool drawers
>>2991311I used these on paving slabs on a bed of gravel for drainage.
>>2991311>>2991648>35 dollars for a plastic footlmao. just lay down some brick or use concrete or whatever
>>2987126as soon as you close your door isnt it like a shed? use your imagination
i wish i had a shed but i live in an apartmentone day i will be truely middle class and buy a house. and it will have a big ass garage i will make into a workshop, and a shed where i will hide The Bombs

I want to put in a super cheap shower in my workshop bathroom. I rent the shop so not too expensive, labor intensive, or hard to remove would be good design parameters.I have ~L42"xW34"xH98". And will have to have a tank catchment for grey water that would be pumped out. Any ideas? Thanks
>>2989851Shower head over a floor drain, probably fed by a hose>I'm a bitch and I need hot waterHook it up to your slop sink>I have a small dick and want privacyHang a tarp>i don't want water all over the floorGet some fiber rolls
I was able to find a shower stall 75% off at the habitat for humanity for ~36$. I realized it was too high for the first mandoor to the bathroom, so I had to cut it down 3/4" >:[Now Ive welded a little face frame to make it less flimsy from AL angle that will double as a curtain rod. >>2989925If I had a floor drain life would be much better.
>>2989851Here you go anon. It's your $20 bathing solution. If the bathroom doesn't have a floor drain , you can use a construction sump pump
>>2990032Lol OK
>>2990021For the drain basin under the shower you could use a cement mixing tub. They are less deep than a storage tote. You could use it with a pump to move the water out while you shower. Do you have a drain in the area at all? You could just shoot it outside.
So I have a problem (A) that I need to fix (Fuckin' groundhog did it I think) but I'm not a smart man and have questions.What IS this line? The stuff that pours out sure smells like gas, and there was a lot of it. But isn't that the fuel filter above? Making that the gas line and this something else? Does brake fluid smell like gas?And what's that other line up there?Moving on to the actual fix, the connection at (B) is easy enough but what's that connection at (C) called? Is it possible/easy to replace?How would you replace the damaged section? If there a part for that nylon line between the hard lines i can just buy somewhere, I have failed to find it, don't even know what it's called.Should I just cut on either side and make a new section of line? If so what connectors should I use for that?Thanks for any knowledge you can give me.
>>2991237the fuel pump pressurizes the distribution rail to whatever the injectors are meant to run at. the pump runs at constant output and has excess flow capacity than the injectors use so the rail has a pressure regulator that bleeds the excess pressure off as return flow to the tank
>>2991231>Help me fix my 1998 F150find a man to fix it for you.
>>2991231>Moving on to the actual fix, the connection at (B) is easy enough but what's that connection at (C) called? Is it possible/easy to replace?The fittings at B and C are both swaged hose fittings. At B, there is also a quick disconnect. The swaged sections (look like hexagonal crimps) compress the flexible hose onto barbs on the steel lines. You can DIY a fix at both ends without needing a swaging tool or new sleeves since this is low pressure.Cut the old swaged sleeves with a dremel (careful for sparks due to gasoline). Make sure you don't cut so deep you damage the hose barbs on the steel line and quick disconnect fitting.Buy new gas hose to fit barb dimensions. Use plain old hose clamps to hold nwe hose on barbs. It's low pressure, they'll hold.The quick disconnect at B and busted old hose can be taken out to a workbench. The steel line heading off the left of your pic from C will probably have to be done in place.
>>2991260>>2991240Good shit, smarts like this is why I posted here.>>2991243Too poor to pay a smart man to fix it for me.
>>2991235...annnd here's the bad news - that upper line is the brake line and it's shot. If this is your DD, I'd definitely start thinking about replacing it. I wouldn't even TOUCH it, while you're dicking around with the fuel system - even flexing it a little could snap those connections.
I'm planning on totally redoing my lawn by rolling out cardboard and putting new soil on top of it. Would doing so kill whatever lives in these holes across my yard or can they dig out?
>>2991664having wildlife on the property - absolute nightmare, you must agent orange it, browhy are amerilards such a vicious retards

>>2992247My kids can't play in the yard without getting fleas thanks to these fuckers
>>2992228Because the groundhogs have dug such a vast tunnel network under my yard that it'd make Ho Chi Minh blush. Napalm is the ONLY answer.
>>2992280Just pipe engine exhaust to the holes for a few hours
I went to turn off my ceiling fan and the whole chain came down.. I shut off the circuit breaker then opened the housing to take a look but was no better informed. Ask my dad to take a look and I think he broke it further because now it won't turn on at all. If that boomer is stumped.. what do I do!
>>2991976good luck because ceiling fan switches are a rabbit hole, and there are all sorts of them, 2, 3, 4 wire and most of them are not interchangeable. you can try googling the numbers on the switch but... good luck.
>>2991976The light is controlled by a simple SPST pull switch that opens and closes the hot supply. The fan is controlled by a SP3T pull switch that connects hot to three different taps on the motor coil.
>>2991976Fan dont work because neutrals are disconnected Pull chain thing is brokenBuy new pull chain thing with three speedshttps://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-6-Amp-Single-Pole-Pull-Chain-Switch-GSW-34/206079662?g_store=1913&source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&fp=ggl

>finally buy some land>bare land 30min from townits fun and all but ok, i have $1000usd to spend to be able to shit there. how do I build a toilet for that cheap? I was thinking a vault toilet like a campsite but idk how long they last between pumping also idk if I want to dig that much dirt out.can I just like dig a cesspit 300ft away from the main area and just run a turd pipe over to it and have it dump into the pit?
>>2986036Compost toilet. If you have dried plant material you can just shit in buckets and cover it. After it sits for a year plant some trees on the lowest part of your proerty and dump it there. Its technically safe to use on fruit trees but I wouldnt.
>>2991623Depends how often the shitter is getting shitted.If the bottom is just bare earth then it just breaks down overtime and filters through the layers and cleans itself until it gets to the water table.You can help it by getting septic tank bacterial tablets that speed up the breakdown. It also helps to keep it moist, preferably with the sink waste water.
>>2986301it makes it alcaline and it's a good thing for the soil unless you have an entire family doing nothing but pissing onto one tiny plot.
>>2992168What's your diet? switch to mulch lines, add in the days compost first, and you could plant in that grid. People are squamy about human shit but after a year it's not human shit anymore, right?
>>2992221>>2992231there you go , i day of piss per square.keep going in ?x? grid you want for a year, however that ends up with winter etc. Or two years I guess because then the end of the first one would be 1 year old, and then start planting. Why can this not work someone? Shoot me down.
In a bad rental situation right now with outlets that are obviously not installed well. This just happened when I unplugged something. I don't have access to the breaker box. What do I need to do to make sure this doesn't start a fire until I can get the landlord to do something about it?
>>2992045>It's not safe!
look, dummies. looks like the box is pushed in at the bottom. theres nothing at all wrong with the outlet wiring or insulation. The first reply, while an idiot because he referred to the drywall as a facade, was correct. Just push it back and use other outlets is the easiest solution. looks like the outlet still has a screw in th middle for a cover in it, meaning there probably hasnt been a cover on it in awhile.this probably isnt new. fix it if you want, first reply told ya how
>>2992085>looks like the box is pushed in at the bottom.This.Easy fix: Get some plastic shims to put behind the drywall ears on the box to shim it out and give support. Without shims, the only thing tat supports the receptacle is the front plate. Which is probably cracked or missing by now.Also, word of advice: It's a RENTAL. Leave maintenance shit alone. Unlicensed work on multiple tennant dwellings may very well be illegal. Wait 'till you own your own house and burn that down.
>>2991752test you smoke detector to make sure it works, then write an Email to you land lord about the unsafe fire hazard. Anything else you are setting your self up for liability. You could hire an electrician and then send you land lord the bill but you would have to front the money

Do I have to look out for something specific when buying a used miter saw?
>>2987051Get one with a depth stop. Super useful to cut grooves or notches. And screw lasers, they always break or become invisible. Just put some lines on the fence or use a ZCI
>>29870511 - Does it work2 - Is anything broken3 - Does it make weird noisesThat's about it.>>2989089>Get one with a depth stopI don't think I've ever seen a miter saw that didn't have one.
blood
>>2987051Get a sliding one, I made the mistake of getting one that only pivots because I wanted perfect angle accuracy and rigidity and missed out on a ton of quick cuts I could've made with it that I had to pull my circular saw forIn the end it didn't even matter because the accuracy of the angle is down to tuning it and how you apply pressure as you push it

I'm trying to create an inner shell for my garage in order to soundproof it and AAC came up. Worth it?
>>2991758This. Mineral wool is absolutely superior for soundproofing and provides good insulation that cannot hold water.
>>2991787>that cannot hold waterbreathable insulation is actually a good thing, it helps regulate indoor moisture and improve air quality. just don't use non-permeable paint/plaster on the outside because dew will form under it, freeze and make the whole thing crumble and fall off.
>>2991802>freezeNot a problem in my area, bucko.
>>2991810you still shouldn't paint over it with acrylic paint or other non-breathable shit because the moisture will accumulate in your walls instead of freely evaporating outside, potentially causing mold and not helping you regulate indoor humidity without relying on ventilation

My Yamaha M70 amp stopped working and the protection light is on. I'm good with electrical on cars, so I wanna refurbish and upfit it (3 pin grounded power socket instead of 2 pin hardwire, banana plug socketsto replace the twist speaker terminals).How do I know what to replace?Should I just buy a complete refurb kit for $200 and replace everything?

>>2991707>I'm good with electrical on cars, so I wannaVintage audio that you care about having working again is not the best thing for your first serious repair project. It is one thing to make nice neat solder joints on a kit, which is also something you don't learn on cars, and another to desolder parts on a shitty PCB with a decade of residue on the solder joints without trashing stuff up.>How do I know what to replace?There's the rub.>Should I just buy a complete refurb kit for $200 and replace everything?Wouldn't it be something if you do all that and it never works again. Get it working first.>>2991709>I also reqd that I should replace the speaker relay with new Omron G2R-2 relays, is that necessary?Oh ffs. No. Relay failures in consumer electronics are really rare. The relay in there is probably good for 100,000 cycles or more. There might be some audiophool reason people do that. Don't fix what's not broken.
>>2991711>Some company makes plug and play banana plug retrofits panels for $50 but they're going to take weeks to get here from Germany.Are there just cheap panel mount banana sockets I could get 8 of to replace these twist locks?Don't fix what's not broken. Those twist locks have some charm, anyway. And good banana sockets will run you a fair fraction of that $50. >Should I put a screw mount IEC C14 power socket (PC power cord socket) on here or would something else be more elegant?That Heyco strain relief is plenty elegant.>>2991742>Check your DC voltages, that's most likely problem, followed by testing your power transistors.Yes.
