Do any of you anons get one?Is that even a thing in the US, or is that an Euro thing? Maybe even Wera "invented" the idea?I really like the idea and especially Wera occasionally had some "special editions" (i.e. color schemes you can't get outside of the calendar) or fun things (like salt and pepper shakers made out of their iconic handles) that you could get just for fun, but now, that the market is flooded with them, it's always some cheapo bit- or nut-set, which everybody already has plenty of, so it'sa) a waste andb) you just know what you'll get after opening the first door and finding a philips bitMilwaukee used to be on the right track, with their>fuck it, we're doing only 4 big things, for each advent sundayapproach, where you could actually get some useful stuff where you don't already have multitudes of, but now, they also went for the 24 things route (and a high price).Is there any Burger brands I'm missing, that might be interesting to get?Festool isn't looking to bad, but it's coming at a Festool price, so I dunno.
>>3010481Ja, natĂźrlich. Was denn sonst?>>3010483I see. And I kinda agree. Itâs really off putting when a brand seems to be more of a fashion accessory instead of of a legit tool. Iâd say it hurts the brands image, but commercially speaking itâs probably the best that can happen to you. For every 10 professionals you lose, who might even use your warranty, if something breaks prematurely and otherwise will only buy new stuff, if the old is worn through, you gain 100 âedcâ faggots who wonât ever break their tool (canât break something you donât use) and will buy every new âdropâ to show off.
>>3010485Funny enough I just wrote a similar post elsewhere about Leatherman earlier today. They've done kind of the same thing, making high-end tools for collectors and a lot of stuff for more casual users and trying to appeal to people who wouldn't have bought a multitool before, and a lot of people complain about that, along with the high prices, but 99.9% of the Leatherman market are people who buy one tool and use it for decades, and are likely to send stuff in for LM's great warranty service, and those fancy collector tools etc. are what's keeping the company alive and able to keep operating in an expensive state where manufacturing workers actually make good money when they could have just said "fuck it" and moved the company to some low tax low wage state or even shipped production overseas.
>>3010301>>3010487I feel like, at least here on diy, for every circlejerk tool brand post I see 10 posts of people complaining about the âcirclejerk phenomenonâ. >>3010263I suspect shops will drop the price of the festool one or add it to orders for free around november
>>3010485>Was denn sonst? And that's why I don't expect there to many doing this>Ăireanon here>can't get Sika pro3 or expansion foam (goes between slab)>have to order from GermanyReally, I'm just jelly but my point is, not enough people give enough fks to do slab to standard so why buy this - this will still happen >>3010487 but would promotional shit like this alongside real tools fill the need to sell new items? Otherwise, their only profit is from lost tools
>>3010564> suspect shops will drop the price of the festool one or add it to orders for free around novemberI would suppose that there is quite some margin they can play with, but given that itâs Festool and Festool has a quite large fan base, I kinda doubt it. And for it to be added to an order, thatâs probably only gonna happen far above 500âŹ. Or have you seen this happen last year? If so, which shop?

>>3010268Thanks for that link, he has some interesting stuff on there and a couple of unknowns he's captured in the VLF band which have piqued my interest. I just had one tonight on 35 kHz very briefly. Will be watching for this one.I went on the AM broadcast band right after I posted that message (No.3010267) last night. Again, LOTS of asian stations but this time they seemed to be clustered above 1000 kHz. I heard 31 stations, several loud and clear but many just 1 or 2 kHz from a NA station so it was challenging to pick pick them out. I think this is when a loop would come in handy to null out the locals. A total of 48 stations in a 48 hr period. Tonight I only heard a few very weak carriers of 3 stations.Anyone know where beacon "SGX" on 346 kHz is located? I find no listing for it.
>>3010371sgx sounds like singapore but i don't know
>>3010371>Anyone know where beacon "SGX" on 346 kHz is located? I find no listing for it.Sure that was not YXL in Sioux Lookout, Ontario, Canada? That matches the frequency.
>>3010408Yes i'm pretty sure. I've got a recoding of it, I had it on a narrow filter and then switched to a wider 500 Hz one at the 17s mark:https://litter.catbox.moe/y2sgsj.wav>Oct 4-2026 07.38Z 346 kHz CWN + CWW
Ok maybe my mini-whip wasn't showing any difference with/without power because I was testing it on 100MHz FM, and the thing supposedly has a bandwidth of 30MHz. An SDR that only goes down to 25MHz isn't very useful for HF, I should get me a dongle with an upconverter. Also the MKT film caps are apparently bad for these frequencies, not sure if they're worse than Y5U or X5R ceramics (nonlinearity could create harmonics), but I'll see if I can track some NP0s. No clue why it uses 100nF caps when even 10nF would work fine to receive 520kHz broadcast AM. People actually make NP0 10nF MLCCs, which is nice.
show your smallest tools. edc is good too.

What do you use?Pegboard?OBS?Gridfinity?Din rails?
Slatboard? Anyone used it?
>>3009012Ideally I would want to put everything on a rolling pegboard, but I donât like the space they take up. For now I just leave everything on a 3tier shelf or stuffed in a locker. I like lockers because I can open them to see everything inside instead of having to open 20 drawers. And if I wanted I can still use a dolly to move them. They can also be customized
I recently made this drawer that goes under my bed and has all my tools, i plan to make a second one as well. I don't use any other method as my room is also my workshop...

my foochin neighbor decided to raise animals inside a residential area. his "ventilation" spot is directly aimed at my windows. i can't keep the smell out nor let fresh air in. i put up with it for almost a year and suffered a great deal. now i want to fight fire with fire.
tell him his shit is going into your window, that's all you had to fucking do the moment it started happening.
>>3009827>i put up with it for almost a year and suffered a great deal>now i want to fight fire with fireIn that entire year have you even once thought about having a conversation with your neighbor?
>>3009856Why bother with anonymous? You'll get a lot more credence if you leave your name. Is he worried his goat fucking neighbor is going to take revenge?Realistically OP is too much of a pussy to do anything about it. He's going to have to move.I actually have my money on Mexicans doing cockfighting, not goats. Assuming USA.
>>3009827Point an ozone generator at his ventilation spot. It'll neutralize the smell and take care of the animals.
>>3009827according to ai: >For this fact pattern your core claim is private nuisance (odors/fumes crossing the property line and interfering with your use and enjoyment of the property). To state it, allege these elements:>You have a property interest â you own, lease, or otherwise lawfully occupy the affected property (standing; guests/visitors can't sue). >The neighbor's conduct caused the interference â the goat/manure fumes physically drift onto your property and directly into your window. Odors, smells, and fumes are recognized as things that can cross property lines. >The interference is substantial â more than a minor annoyance, judged by an objective "reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities" standard (your own heightened sensitivity alone won't do). >The interference is unreasonable â a balancing of the severity of your harm against the utility of the neighbor's activity (nature/duration/frequency, character of the neighborhood, whether it violates any ordinance, and whether it could be mitigated without undue burden).>To make the case stick, also plead and document:>Duration and frequency â a recurring, ongoing condition (dates/times log, photos/video, witness statements from other affected neighbors).>Direct intrusion â that the fumes are funneled directly into your window, not just a faint distant smell.>Concrete harm â inability to use the room, open windows, or sleep; any health effects; reduced property value/rental value.>Ordinance/zoning violations â if the manure storage or herd violates local setback, animal, or health codes, that strongly supports "unreasonableness" and weakens the defense.
am i overheating my solder if I keep getting spikes when I pull away from the joint? I read something about flux but that didn't seem to work either still spiked when i pulled away.
>>3009621>"good" solder joint>doesn't even wet out the whole pad
>>3009621I trust the experts
>>3009621>if I keep getting spikes when I pull away from the joint?this happens sometimes; it makes no difference to the jointif it bothers you, just snip it off with side cuttersif that still bothers you, just reheat and pull away quick
>>3009621you may need to clean your ironif dirt gets in the solder it can cause spikes or pitsuse emery cloth and a wet sponge if you want to tin the iron's tip really well

>>3010255Mostly a gimmick afaik. It's something you do as a hobby project if you're into casting and the other processes involved. Everything I've heard/read says they're not really viable tools and I think you could buy and restore (if necessary) a real lathe for less than it'd cost to do a gingery if you don't already have all the casting stuff etc.
Bossmang doesnt care the milling bits are dullHe even gives a limited check for new ones, which is highly avoidable and expensive How do i convince him to buy a mill sharpening tool from alibabaOr do i buy myself oneI havent made a financial transaction in my life and im old

Ive got about $12k and 220v 3phase to set up a hobby shop. From reading forums and watching videos i feel like i should have enough to get started. Any advice for machine shopping? What can i realistically expect with this budget. A mill and lathe seem like the absolute basics. A band saw seems like it would be nice to have as well.
>>3010584theres a milltronics retrofitted cnc on tbe pm forum right now (no affiliation) which would be the type of machine id be looking for if i was in your situation. a regular bridgeport is great (im fanboy #1) but they take years of experience and piles of tooling to do oddball assache operations that a cnc can do in 2 minutes with the part clamped flat in the vise. find something with an cat40 spindle vs rb because its so much better for repeatability and rigidity and tooling is stupid cheaplathes are peculiar beasts. theres a world of difference between a sub $1k and $2500 machines but then it quickly becomes a law of diminishing returns. so wait around for a deal and buy the absolute best lathe you can. a square head clausing 15 or a nardini 14 are ok midsize machines. avoid chinkshit like the plague and anything with an open flat belt drive (antique shit)and of course figuring out how to move this shit will also come into play

Not just to customers pushing in front and throwing their big thermal bags and dumping their bikes at the door, but rude to the staff too shouting ordernumbers at them, not believing them 'show me show me' and saying hurry up stuff like that.Modded ebike, illegal, no lights, illegal, speeding, illegal, and I'm not saying oh just because the are foreign they have no right to work but i find it suspicious none of them are white or speak English first language. But nobody is interested in stopping them.In fact i seem to be aminority, I'm amazed how many people spend money on mcdonalds let alone fucking pay for delivery ffs.

Last Threads: https://warosu.org/diy/?task=search2&search_username=artbyrobotTo begin: the project goal: I am working to make a series of humanoid robots. I am using a Biblical theme of naming the first 3 robots I make Adam, Eve, and Abel. The goal is for these robots to have human body inspired musculoskeletal systems, advanced AI, and that they look human and pass for human to a casual observer at least at a distance. They must be able to walk, talk, run, dance, do sports, do chores, manufacture products, and make more robots just like themselves if not even better. My aim is to build a single robot arm and head and then add sufficiently advanced AI to that arm and head to enable it to build the rest of its own body for me. This way I am delegating the work of building the majority of my first humanoid robot to that robot rather than doing that work myself - and this is to save me time.In a like manner, my goal with the AI is to code just enough AI that the AI can begin coding itself and this way I don't have to code most of the AI myself because it will self create itself. I liken this to building a seed and that seed growing into a tree because for me to code that tree would take too long for me and just creating the seed would then save me time.

I want to make my own guitar pedals (simple effects, like a fuzz one), do you have some good starting advice?>Like where should i get my materials (electronics, case, pcb) from? >What are some good places to get my pcb/circuit theory on point?>What should I look out for? What are some mistakes that I need to avoid?>Should i make my own circuit or just steal a schematic off somewhere? If so, where from?
Cheap comps are fine to start with. Bulk on amazon means when you want to build something you may not need to order anything, you'll already have it. Hammond style alluminum enclosures are pretty standard but you can also be creative and use whatever. Just remember that with no shielding/plastic enclosures you might pick up interference. (Hum from lights etc. My preamp i built picked up radio stations) As for circuits check out these websites; runoffgroove, diystompboxes, and beavisaudio. They're decent sources for info and circuits. --!Get a breadboard!-- A simple and fun project is the noisy cricket. Its a 1/2 watt amp that can run on 9v. Built one using old pc speakers. Also the simplest distortion circuit ive seen is called bazz fuss. That was the first one i built. Be careful with polarity and input impedence, you dont want to fry anything. At each stage of your build triple check everything. Nothing is more annoying than having to figure out what you fucked up after its all soldered together.
>>3006253>Should I make my own circuit or steal a schematicI found it helpful to look at existing schematics to start, to get an idea of some general concepts that'll help you intuitively build circuits later on. You'll notice some patterns, like the use of buffers at the input and output of the pedal, and sometimes between stages, and how distortion/overdrive/fuzz are all just various types of signal clipping.I started with the schematic of the tube screamer, took some of the fundamental pieces of it, and used that as a jumping off point to design my own pedal.
not OP, but I bought a PT2399 kit and it came with the wrong PCB :(
Haven't seen this one on the thread. Good site with loads of schematics. Focused on strip board layouts which are cool because you can buy a bunch of strip board really cheap and use it for all kinds of builds, downside is the circuits are a lot harder to read than an organized pcb or perfboard layout.//tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/I guess maybe beware of some online hype, pedals and honestly anything related to guitars get hit with the worst of bad reddit info. All I mean is, keep it light, there are lots of keyboard warriors saying you have to do shit a certain way.
>>3010547oh, I should add, check out the guides at the top of the page, they're bretty gud.
Would moving into a trailer park, maybe into a 3 bed trailer and putting up a wall around the living area to create a 4th bedroom, be a viable way to escape the insane costs of home ownership? I'm even looking at trailer parks and planning to find the right balance of trashiness of the current tenants there - trashy enough to keep the lot rents down but not so much that I'd feel unsafe living there.
>>3009272Private equity is buying trailer parks and raising lot rents anywhere from 75% to 150%, sometimes even more.
>>3009272You can't raise a normal family in a trailer park.

They will only become the standard if we all stop buying Philips and hex head bolts. I found a vendor on amazon that sells them and it is all that I plan to buy from here on out. I am tired of my bolts head stripping out.
