Never seen a buy sell trade thread hereGot tools you're looking for, or want gone?Never gonna get around to that project that's been sitting behind the shed for years?Post it hereI've got the hookup on plastic pallets in northern Florida if anyone's interested

>>2961686>just buy the temco or noname chinkshit. they cost less than a seal kit from enerape or powerteamyouranus or simplessOh I figured, and that was the direction I was more than likely headed. Vevor has them for around 120ish a piece... Since you're a truck mechanic, one I recently brought home with some rust jacking between the frame and a crossmember. It's practically a double frame for about 6' long. Only rust jacked in the front 4-6" of it though so I figure I can beat it out of there with a sledgehammer and some shafting or some kind of blunt tip on my pneumatic chipping hammers. The rest of it looks pretty damn clean. Do you have anything you'd recommend spraying in there between the layers when I'm done? Just used engine oil? Fluid film? Spray some Ospho in there first or nah?
>>2961696>Since you're a truck mechanicfull disclosure ive only ever larped as truck mehanik out of necessity dealt with a few double frames over the years though but being a westcoaster meant rust is a non issue. did cut the sleeves on a old midwest mack to put a scissorlift hoist for a grainbox on it and it had something that resembled commercial roof tar or asphalt liquid between the frames. looked like it did the job keeping the nasty rot outwe sleeved a ex log truck t800 to the back of the cab for a hoist and the guy running the shop that formed the c sections was an old paccar employee. he said if you put goo between the frames youd throw half the strength benefit away because the two sections dont grip each other when theres lube in the middle and can flex a lot more. so itll start cracking through close together holes sooner
>>2961665>I've got the hookup on plastic palletslmao gay
>>2961701All righty then. I'll see if I can beat the shitty stuff out then and squirt something in there. In all honesty it will never see salt ever again, will rarely if ever see much moisture again, and should have a relatively easy life under my watch.
post your tractors
>>2959586Had a half rotten light truck lock ring wheel, took to the tyre off to confirm and it was a bastard to shove off.Can't imagine a tractor drive wheel.
>>2959613fresh tires and even moderately old tires aren't usually a big deal to get off, I've done dozens of them over the years. this piece of shit had been flat and rotted for 20 years and had no stretch. Two of us leaning into a 24" tire spoon couldn't stretch it over the bead, in a few places it just started to tear the rubber. took way more effort than any tractor tire I've ever changed. for a moment considered grabbing the recip saw and just cutting the fucker off.
>>2959694Been there done that. Even a sawzall isn't a good answer because the metal bead wires will stop you... It just sucks.

ITT: amusing nicknames that tradesmen use for their tools / parts / supplies / whatever. I realize it’s not strictly /diy-related, but a lot of tradesmen frequent this board. Cable linemen call this lube “camel spooge” because it’s gooey and orange. Really funny to watch it blast out of a conduit with an air compressor on the other end.
>>2960011Our director one day corrected me on the difference between a manhole/manway, so every time I mentioned it in the chat for the remainder of that project, it was “Personhole” or “Theyway” or “Zhehole”.
>>2961426w2c???
>>2961426Truth in labeling. Finally.
how about using normal Comp roofing tiles to make pattern or "accents" along edges, hip, valley.since its rectangles, maybe more like UFW Union eagle flag stepped pattern of diamond within diamond.Maybe just alternating strips, with similar but different color accents on edges.Why is it normal to do patterns on floor, counter, shower, backsplash tiles but not roofing?
How do I replace the lightbulb?
https://youtu.be/hNarlVNOn0s
>>2961436Neat, if that didn't work I was gonna say it looks like it's got little tabs
>>2961422Is that ... A halogen bulb? Those metal clips are vicious when pulling them in/out
>>2961471My wife and I had those in a five light fixture for a kitchen. I hated those little metal T posts I'm glad they're all but extinct now. Never ever put these in and get rid of any that you have to replace with LEDs
>>2961606The great thing is you don't have to worry about them with the LEDs overheating the space they're in so you don't have to do a complicated Heat box or even a power load calculation is the amount they add is minuscule unless you're adding 100
has anyone tried this before, also cardboard chairs/couches?It doesnt need to hold much besides a speaker and my tablet maybe. Just thinking it wouldn't be that hard to build and cost less than $20
>>2954592If you can figure out a way to mimic the boning structure in Japan’s Airweave cardboard beds they made for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics you could make anything.
>>2959470The headboard and sides around the bed look reinforced similar to bank boxes.
>>2954592Yeah what do you think you're buying with half of the IKEA furniture
I work at a resale shop and we routinely sell decent desks for $5-20 so just go buy a real desk, dipshit. Not that long ago some college kid bought a desk and had a friend help him carry it home a few blocks away. Make shit happen, stop living in squalor. Being poor doesn't mean you have to be trashy and have cardboard furniture.
how do i stop being poor
Is there any way I can fix this without completely belt sanding the entire floor?
>>2960836OP hereI ended up sanding it down with a 120 sandpaper sponge and applied some stain+poly and it turned out decent. Thank you again fren >>2960895
>>2961441Cool, now don't jizz on it anymore
>>2961188You dumb fucking faggot. Lurk more and get your memes right.
>>2960836>>2960895>>2961441>/diy/ actually gave real advice and helped an anon without giving some reddit tier sarcastic remarkVery rare moment
>>2961441>I ended up sanding it down with a 120 sandpaper sponge and applied some stain+poly and it turned out decent. Thank you again frenno problem, glad it turned out well
>>2960319One of the many things I hate about modern basedciety. All the fucking bullshit unsolicited real estate and decorating advice normgroids give you, for trendiness and resale value.>i'm the one who's paying for this and who lives here, not you, so go take a fucking hikeI've lived long enough to know that in periods of strong demand, buyers don't give a shit about all the design choices anyway. Live how you want.

These painter's tripod things suck, they're too unstable and leave imprintsWhat's a better way to paint cabinet doors
>>2958672You put long screws into the hinge holes and the hole for the knob/handle and just skip the tripods completely.Or put tea cup hooks into the screw holes for the hinges and hang them from the ceiling with string.
Why not put the stands where you're going to screw the handle or hinges into? Or not jump on it and pretend to surf on it?

Just started a job at a cnc milling shop with alot of benefits but its been about a year since I got my degree so theres some things Im having some difficulties with shop culture and need some general tips. supervisors know im pretty green but i dont want to seem like I dont know jack shit so every night has been me studying up as much as i could to rerember things. any tips you guys could give?
Learn to call out tools, the probe should be no1 then find z axis point 0 on the top of the viceType as followsG54 G0 H1 Z-30M3 s12000 M8 M7Z200X100X0Y-200 Z-40 M114M5M4 S12000Z25 (SAFETY DISTANCE)Then press start, its the green buttonIt will set the machine tightAlso, make sure to read the technical drawings well, and when you have a stock ready, get some oil any kind and gently rub where it will be cut, massage it for 15 to 20 minutes especially if it will be drilled and cut with a roughing millThe rest you will learn as you go, depending on how far in the buisness you want to reach, also >>2959806
>>2959802//threadAlso be autistic, follow your leads instructions exactly, take notes, if any issues come up, tell them first and consult with them before you change a process. If a process changes, do a part check if possible to make sure it still works. Get a Machinery's Handbook and study from it. I keep a binder filled with notes and infographics of esoteric knowlege. Check your vise/fixtures at the start of the shift to make sure it's trammed and parallel to the table, because you have no idea of what night shift gets up to. If you get lackadaisical or lose focus, step away for a minute or two to re-orient yourself.Advice from a fixture builder I worked under:>"Clean, Square, 90°, parallel, flat, perpendicular" EVERYTHING>"Don't trust anyone" (Especially yourself)>"You can never have enough hammers">"Drink from the skulls of your enemies."
>>2960004I get the joke, but that code would just instantly throw an alarm.
>>2960004Don't do this. It creates muriatic acid which will kill you.
>>2960795Can you close your eyes and see where and how the machine goes if you read the code prior?Download one of the free gcode programs, all they mostly serve for is editing simple things, but also show visually vectors which represent the tool tip movements.They are also used to send the program to the machine or machines have usb ports, but it doesnt hurt to first make the program on the computer first, have it show vectors and coordinates of the vectors, then send it to the machine, if the program involves multiple tool changes and offsets where you have to repeat the segments until you get the tolerance needed.Start with drilling first, do drills and rounding up stock, you will advance further once you get better and faster.Speeds and feeds go on instinct, calculations dont work too good on dull endmills and tougher materials, you start copying others at first, then you create your own system and rules.And write down everything at first
>how to make a metal fileYou'll first need a metal file>how to make a hammerYou'll need a hammer >how to use a levelYou'll need a known elevation>how to cut boardsYou'll need 6 level boardsI don't live in remote Alaska I'm just fucking poor, and if I need to make something it's because I can't afford to buy it, and this forces me to undertake a large number of inefficient builds, often concurrently, to achieve something which anyone else would just spend $200 on

What a bunch of jews. 1972 and they pour a floor with NO rebar and at best 3" thick. Fucking stupid.
>>2956894It made it just fine until you cut into it
>>2961158I'm replacing the sewer and adding radon mitigation so it wasn't fine. My temporary live is in now. I just need to build a footing for for a load bearing wall and I'll be ready to tear out 1/2 the slab.
>>2956894yeah, that's fucking bad.but speaking of shit construction, have you seen some of the new abominations that jeets are "building"?
>>2959648Well, it’s probably more bomb resistant than osb.
>>2959620If you're doing radiant, you need like 4" of insulation under it or it'll worthless
Does anyone here have any Parkside performance power tools? They came up with this little 20v kit of drill, impact drive recip saw, two 4ah batteries and charger for like 180€ and honestly seems plenty for sparse /diy/. And they offer 5 year warranty which is kinda crazy for cheap tools.I have PP screwdrivers with a metal shank and they are surprisingly good but power tools are a different beast.
>>2960197malwart hyperturd rates pretty gud at the poornigger price point but you dont get the fake metabo colorscheme
>>2959318I have the impact driver and a green anglegrinder. They do the job, for the money you pay. The driver was able to drive 8x16 tornado screws. The grinder can cut sheetmetal and tiles.
>>2960197Doesn't Aldi sell Ferrex tools in the US?
>>2959318This brand sucks and I hate it.
>>2959318Dewalt is better
Got the inspection report back on a house I wanted to buy. Radon gas levels are consistently above 14 pCi/L. Should I bail or is there a mitigation system that actually works?
>>2960381>>2960388>>2960395Ok, I guess I’m just retarded and paranoid. Thank you for saving me from myself. I will get a monitor and do the mitigation.Is one of the mitigation methods better than the others? Which one have you used?
>>2960399I’m >>2960381 and they cut a hole in the slab, put PVC over the hole, ran pvc outside, and put a fan inline outside near the discharge. Don’t know what method that is, just know he said he used a more powerful fan because foundation sits in clay. Monitor says numbers are good and that’s all I care about. Cost about $1,100 in Central Illinois.
>>2960730Thanks anon
>>2960742You’re welcome. Glad to help. Best of luck on your investment.
>>2960367just use your lungs to filter out the radioactive gas.

>>2957336blame jewish regulations not the machinealso they don't want you to know this but inside there's a pressure sensor that's adjustable
>>2957336I have this washer.Never had a problem.Usually you can just stop it and start it again if there’s not enough water.
>>2957349Holy shit, you’re literally retarded.
