what is ailing you at the moment or what is has been your worst injury?
>>2995350I fell down a loft in the middle of the night. Stepped down and instead of a ladder there was a 9 ft drop down to a wood floor. I broke my femur by my hip. Got a rod from my hip to my knee and screws. Took a couple years of recovery. Screamed in pain, it was pretty intense but I didn't pass out.
>>2995350Sliced the corner of my thumb off on the mandolin, could see the lines between the finger fat, dermis and epidermis clear as day. Didn't hurt for a day or two, then hurt like fuck and itched until the skin grew over.Basically healed now, just looks like flaking skin.

>>3010199I did a much smaller version of this with lettuce years ago, hands were wet so there was no resistance at all. The throbbing was intense - it was too wide to stitch so a pressure bandage was applied for about two weeks (felt like someone else squeezing the digit in their white-knuckle fist of anger, but 24/7) and even 20 years later there's some sensitive nerve under that surface that I can feel if I push my thumb against a corner of a desk.
Let's get a gardening general going on. What are you growing? What are you building? Problems, solutions, and advice are welcome. Books, non-gay yootoobers, and other resources also welcome. If we get enough engagement perhaps even a pastebin is in order!
>>3010876internal design of the float check valve in picrel.another system design note is that the fill tank is sized such that if something goes wrong, like the float doesn't refloat, the total size of the fill tank is less than the air volume of the buckets on the float tank. this means that if it fully drains to the buckets, they do not overflow.each bucket has a check valve to prevent biofilm backflow into the other buckets, but it also allows a bucket to be refilled manually with water to dilute the nutrient bath if needed. it also allows to add a new bucket to the siphon header and not have it backflow via siphon into all the other buckets on the same siphon header.not shown the diagram is the siphon line recirc. that uses the other port of the dual pump box for fill and recirc. the siphon header supplying each bucket has a return line where occasionally the pump is used to flush out any bubbles which may accumulate in the siphon header. the fill tank siphon is flushed during routine refill, while the siphon header has a loopback for that.
>>3010877>loopbackimportant design note-if using a recirc loopback on a siphon header like this, do not pump into the siphon header! that will cause the check valves to lift and pump into the buckets. instead, and this is important, take a suction from the far end of the siphon header, suction drag it all the way back through another piece of 1/4" hose, not the siphon header, and pump by positive pressure back into the float tank. that will cause a slight rise in the float tank, which is fine, but it will also cause the check valve at each bucket to suck shut, not mess with water level, and pump by suction the entire siphon header down, far away from the siphon tank, suction drag it back by a dedicated siphon header recirc line, and discharge back into the fill tank.that will strip out any bubbles from the siphon header, preventing a bucket from drying out. the same approach can be used for larger vessels, like the water cooler hydroponic grow vessels. the float tank need not be large either, it only needs to fit inside a suitable container, and the minimal design is a 2 gallon bucket.the blue float in >>3010876 is a piece of a pool exercise dumbbell whose inside diameter happens to be correct for pushing the float check valve assembly down into. riding on top of it needs to be enough ballast only to get the spring to actuate while also having a powerful enough spring to force the valve shut for tipover safety. 1 kg in a small conical spring was enough, but 2 conical springs fit just as well and have plenty of room for ballast.I use a 5" disk of stainless steel, 3/8" thick. that is around 2 kg. other suitably heavy things for sinking ballast can be used. adjusting the length and stickout of the extension rod sets the float height, so make sure to keep the sinking ballast as little as possible to prevent causing the float to ride too low. just enough to get it to operate.
>>3010878these cinnamon basil were started at the same time as the ony basil on the middle shelf and back corner of>>3010873and are growing accoringly faster. basil in picrel are about 4 weeks after being transplanted into 2 gallon passive kratky buckets. their water level is 1 gallon, making them ready to have a hole drilled in the lid (should've done that before) and get a stainless steel drinking straw as a standpipe installed with a cord grip to hold it in place, making the water input from the siphon float system. not shown in the diagram is another cord grip straw combo to be installed to draw water for sampling and nutrient refill, separate from the siphon fill line with a check valve.this setup prevents the problems I saw with NFT and passive kratky systems made from stuff like PVC pipes and fencepost covers. those are cool, and I think they have their place in another project I have going on, but this setup provides for growing just as much and using just as much light, but in a different context. this setup is partly for maturing plants for outside in their own hydroponic setups, but also for running things like basil wayyyyyy past their typical seasonal end of life. smaller things like kitchen herbs can work well in here.the gaps between the buckets are used, for now, to hold germinating trays. later on when I get a few mature grape and strawberry plants running, their buckets will be on the lower level, their vines coming up through the wire mesh shelving to make use of the gap light between buckets.
>>3010882>gap light between buckets.something which works well too is coplanting in a kratky bucket. the larger basil are using the captured nitrogen from the clovers. the leaf clovers also are a good indicator to show the status of the nutrient bath. the extremely dark green leaves of the clovers can sometimes change colors to pale before the main plant does, showing a problem. when the clovers are strong, the feed nitrogen back into the nutrient bath... at least I think so.the ones I've tried without doing this are less vigorous than the ones I have coplanted basil and clover in the same kratky bucket. seems to work quite well.
>>2993982Don't allow the soil to dry out, ensure good drainage, ensure temps dont freeze overnight, etc. If it came with a lid, use it as humidity is your friend. Also when they sprout, those pissy lights will need to be closer (obvs. irrelevant when no sprouts)
I've been trying my hand at a kind of pottery dorodango(very smooth mud ball, basically) for a bit now, without any dedicated pottery tools since I don't have any and just picked this up out of nowhere.I got local clay from dirt using buckets & cloth, then molded it with my hands, burnished with a metal spoon and fired it on the coals of a charcoal grill, surrounded by aluminum foil.I've tried several times to make a full ball, and though the molding, drying and burnishing go off mostly without issue, when it comes to firing all but my most primitive piece have broken apart. I've decided to try out a disk, figuring that the reduced internal volume could help trap less moisture and reduce odds of explosion, but since this is a decently labor intensive process, I'd like to ask you guys for any tips you have to help prevent cracking. Is there some method that I can use to make it less likely to explode? Could my clay + grog use some additive? Maybe I should poke some holes into it (though it would ruin the aesthetics)? Maybe sundrying it for a week? Any tips, really.
>>3009494The terra sigilata isnt crushed clay. Well I guess you could make some from crushing but it’s made much much easilier. Since clay particles are charged and will attract and stick together well due each other they will clump up and sink out of suspension. The sigilata process is letting the clay settle for a while after being mixed into water, and siphoning off the middle layer of the mixture, since the top is too watery and the bottom layer is too thick and has the largest particles. The middle layer has the very fine particles that haven’t sunk to the bottom yet. I assume you can do it with just water but some additives like sodium silicate (water glass) or sodium carbonate will prevent the particles from sticking as much and the slower process means you get more fine particles still floating in the middle layer but it takes a lot longer to settle. Maybe your crushing followed by the water settling filtration method would make it even finer.
>>3009499I see. This has been an enlightening conversation. Seeing as the current disk has little that can be done to it without recycling, I'll just fire it as I have done previously, but all further experimentation will follow your advice. I might post the results here once I fire the disk after it dries out for a week or so.Thanks a lot for the help.
>>3009503before you try and invent a process to siphon off only the middle portion... just siphon out the top first
>>3009532Gotcha. I'll see what I can do.
>>3009291Another thing you could try is putting the ball into a vacuum chamber for a few days to draw the moisture out, then burnishing it and drying it in the oven previous to firing. If you need water to burnish it add as little as you can and do the vacuum and oven cycle again afterwards, what you want is to get all the water content out of the center which being so far from the surface might take a long timeYou could also fire a smaller (dried) ball and keep layering more clay on top until you reach the desired thickness, or forego the clay core entirely and start out with a metal or glass ball or something that can take the heat and make just the outside clay instead
Since we got a gardening thread now it seems only right to get ourselves a mushroom thread.https://blogs.cornell.edu/learning/how-to-grow-mushrooms-a-beginners-guide/https://www.almanac.com/plant/mushroomshttps://northspore.com/pages/mushroom-growing-guidesWhat are you growing?What are you trying to grow? How do you avoid contamination?
>>3010452Thanks, watched the whole video and learned something new. Maybe I'll try the sterile distilled water approach one day.Also I never worked with liquid cultures because agar plates worked pretty well for me so far.
>>3010526Theres really no need for lc unless you want to scale/speed up colonization, or as mentioned, if you need longterm-ish culture storage. I mainly noc jars with agar wedges too, i like the benefit of getting a bunch of genetic variation from subculturing germ plates. But if its near the end of winter and i want a jumpstart in making patches then ill make some lc to get some fast colonization happening in my grain/substrate jars. I only run woodlovers outdoors and some species are slower to colonize, so lc can speed that up. Indoor cube grows dont really need this tho, from agar to grain to bulk sub only takes about a month to 6 weeks for me and most people

Does anyone here have experience repainting a figure? I basically want to turn a figure into another character. I purchased a 20cm prize figure as the base so its not crazy intricate or expensive if I fuck up. I have never tried anything like this before and am aware of my skill limitations. If possible, I hope to leave the exposed skin/face areas intact as the factory paint is probably going to be nicer than what I can achieve without an airbrush. Some things I will have to do:1: repaint the clothing to match the new character2: change the eye color3: repaint the hair4: give her a haircut if feasible5: add accessories not found on the original figure such as a swordIf anyone has any experience with this, I would appreciate some input or sharing a before/after so I can manage my expectations.
>>3010925Are you making Esdeath or Oldrin?
>>3010928Neither. But I am doing this for the same reason of no one making figs/kits though. I will share more as I get further along. I am gathering supplies still. I need to source the accessories I want to add probably from some random junked figures before I do anything else.
Just about finished this, made from a hornbeam sapling (Carpinus betulus). Rigid handle, about 50 lbs at 31", d-shaped longbow. 200 cm long. Might pike it later to 180 cm to get it to 75 lbs. Worked on it exclusively using regular knives, which was a bit of a pain in the ass as hornbeam is notoriously tough, but worth it.Will soon apply shellac and wrap the handle.
is it laminated, steam bent? what kind of bow?
>>3010137None of these. I had to bend the tips with a heat gun a bit for string alignment- now it’s about centershot while shooting off hand while it was like 5 cm from the center of the handle at first due to lateral curves. It’s a self bow, as I said a d-shaped longbow but with a rigid handle.

i tried using a jigsaw to cut this archway. its not really cut perfectly to an elipse but it kinda looks good. i went to some really nice home and inspected carpentry around curves etc and its worse than this holy shit. are archways not really ever perfect ? and really who gives a shit ?
it’s fine guys doesn’t look great and fucked up a screw hole on the other side i gotta patch with bondo. but this should hold up and look nice enough but it’s far from perfect
>>3010545good job king
Sick
>>3010545Looks decent. You know it's not perfect, but maybe 1 in a thousand other people are ever going to notice any issues with it. I'm spoiled since I have access to a CNC table, but for future reference, a good way to do this is to mount the board you're cutting from vertically put in a couple of brads or tacks for the width, and then hang a rope from them. You can fiddle with the shape quite easily. The only issue is that it'll be upside down when you're drawing it.If you want to make it a pointed arch more like a gothic one, you can instead put 4 brads in. Two pairs with the spacing you want, offset by a bit, and hang the same length of rope from each pair. So you have tacks 1, 2, 3, and 4, and you connect 1 to 3 and 2 to 4. Trace your arch from 2 to 3. The ropes will cross at the point in the center.>All 4 need to be on the same line>The spacing between 1 and 3 and 2 and 4 needs to be the same.>The length of rope used needs to be the same for each pair.>The distance between 2 and 3 is the gap you are trying to cover.It's a bit of setup, but you can get very nice results without taking any measurements beyond length to length comparisons. How wide is the arch? IDK, it fits the door. How tall is the arch? IDK, it looks good. What's the angle on the point? IDK, it looks good.

>>3008728Well, considering the shingles provides zero water proofing, you can have your roof open for months if you want. Just pick an underlayment rated for that level of UV exposure and high wind nail it so it doesn’t blow off. A big boy synthetic underlayment like Titanium UDL 30 or UDL 50 and decent ice and water shield can keep an unfinished roof dry for months as long as it’s dried in correctly.
>>3008663My highschool did that, great idea Anon
>>3006961So what do you actually do to make money?
>>3007018In their defense, concrete work is fucking murder on equipment. My neighbor was a carpenter for nearly 50 years. He still has a great number of the power tools he bought when he was in his teens and 20s. They aren't nearly as convenient and feature rich as modern stuff, but his screw saw still works just fine. I don't know any concrete guy that has a drill last more than 3-5 years. The one guy I talked to a while back bought a new set of hammers for formwork every 2 years because they'd get destroyed by him digging in soil to move rocks out of the way or eaten by the materials.>>3007182>>3007810> If I could find non-retarded, non-meth using, non-felon white folks to glue down rubber I would.. maybe. Unironically white roofing crews are universally shitty unless they are Amish.Yeah that tracks. Knew a guy that did high end construction for luxury homes. They did damn near everything in house exclusively. To the point where they had their own crane crew. They had masons, stonecutters, framers, custom cabinet makers, electricians, plumbers, hvac, fire... you name it.The two things they did not do entirely in house were gunite concrete work for pools and roofing. He said that they ran the numbers and it was literally cheaper and easier to hire a roofing crew and have a project manager sit in a truck nearby with a 300mm lens and spy on the crew to make sure they weren't fucking the job up. Every time they'd try to create their own roofing crew in house they wound up firing everyone for drug use, theft, or doing things like pissing into the chimney. Eventually the owner had enough. At least this way if the crew pulls some bullshit they can send pictures to the company owner and tell them they aren't getting paid until its resolved.
>>3010750continuedAnd bear in mind this is a company that doesn't give a shit about most people using drugs. It's not "do you do drugs" it's "Can you pass a drug test". They know damn well that half of their people are using something. As long as the heavy equipment operators are sober, nobody give a shit if the cabinet maker or tile setter is doing a little acid on their lunch breaks. Keep it under control and don't give anyone any reason to check, and nobody needs to know. Meanwhile the roofers were hitting their meth pipes in full view of clients.A few of their clients apparently do not want subcontracting at all, so they try to time those jobs when it's not so miserably hot, and then charge through the nose for it. Cabinet makers and sheetrock guys getting like 150 an hour to tack in shingles at half the speed of a roofer, but if the client pays I guess nobody gives a shit.
