Hi, I need practical ideas: my family is in a bad financial situation and I want to help while I study.I went to a technical high school in electronics, but I had almost no hands-on practice — I’m willing to learn soldering, electronics repair, PC assembly, 3D printing, or any manual skill that can generate income.What projects or skills would you recommend I learn first to sell services or products quickly? Thanks — I can dedicate time to learning the basics now.
>>2976148OP i got you. become a cooling technician who fixes fridges. that means undersranding the cooling cycle and learning to weld. not only is it profitable but also easy. diagnosing a fridge, pumping coolant into it, swapping the coil or condenser are all a breeze, a lot of people don't want to pay $500 just because the coolant leaked out. that's when you come in. one toolbag, a torch and a gas cylinder full of fresh coolant. you get to pose as an 'engineer' while coasting the beach of dead refrigators making bank and pumping dirty housewives.
>>2980439Brazing not welding nor soldering and it takes some skill since it has to be airtight.
Trying to get rich from having a skill is a very 20th-century attitude. Try Deliveroo instead.
>>2980466>Trying to get rich from having a skill is a very 20th-century attitude.This. With skills you're at the very bottom of the totem pole and usually too expensive for big customers (enter Rajeesh the brown wunderkind saar of everything promised and nothing delivered) or small customers ("we can't begin afford this so we'll do without"). Middle men (if you have to ask how, you're never going to become one) who pimp you out to big corporate customers with more money (actually debt) than sense will slap a healthy 200%-300% margin on top of whatever measly rate you charge/wage you receive and get rich off your skills without having any themselves.World's fucked.
>>2980681oh woe is me people are rich and Im not
Dear /diy/,I am not commonly writing here but I know there are many tech-buffs when it comes to handicrafts lurking around.My question is as follows: I want to learn technical drawing. Are there any good resources on the matter?>tl;dr: Please give me resources to learn technical drawing from beginner to advanced level on your own.
>>2979291You can shove that piece of metal up your ass
>>2979923thanks.read it.well...i am 31 years old now and just am amazed by the technical drawings in general. they are the most precise, they are super easy to comprehend and i want to learn it.we are in the age of computer, but the age of free information is kind of closing. there are certain websites. there are certain books. there is still some kind of connectivity by internet. but it turned... shallow.well... usa did more things good. thanks for your insights on the matter. despite being a bit rough. i am a bit rough myself.
>>2979227I'll second Giesecke. I have the 4th edition (1958). Used to be a thrift store staple when every engineer took drafting. Maybe it still is. You can probably skip everything after the sketching chapter (chapter 5 in mine) unless you want to be a draftsman or CAD designer. Then Henning Nelms, Thinking With a Pencil.
>>2979652i wanna learn those sick freehand perspective drawings which are simultaneously 2d and 3d
>>2979178>>2981196As in technical drawing by hand? It's not super hard. I learned it in middle school in the late 90s. It's mainly a matter of understanding space and perspective and working cleanly. The latter was the harder part for me.
I hath conquered my fear of cement. Feels goodman.
>>2975767Looks wet desu although I can't tell for sure without video.
>>2977612Imagine the energy costs lol
>>2976041No. If you want waterproof concrete, either add an additive to make it hydrophobic or by a mortar that says hydrophobic or something.And it will never be completely waterproof, which btw is a good thing

Do you /DIY/ your own skateboard, bros?
From what I understand they're actually pretty tough to fully DIY, you need a big press and tooling to get the shape in a way that's actually strong enough to hold up. You can buy pressed blanks though.
>>2981161nah. when I grew up I got a car.
When I was a kid, skateboards had a front and a rear. Outside of the kicktail, they were flat. Easy to DIY. Getting high quality thin-ply plywood for your own deck is gonna be a pain though. Making it would be even worse.
General tipsFreeze your superglue. It keeps it from drying out
>>2980483I just put it in the fridge, no need for freezing
>>2980483Store your paint cans upside down
>>2981025>Store your paint cans upside downDo you ever get any catastrophic leakage like from the cans getting warm and popping the lids off enough for them to seep badly all over your shelves? Makes sense that it would keep the solvents from evaporating out upwards.
>>2981028I've got a small leakage right after storing the can upside down, but it usually stops after one day or so.But my paint cans are not stored in a place where it gets very hot. So... I don't know
>>2980483Works with tubes of caulk and all sorts of sealants as well.Also wire nuts work great for covering an opened tube of caulk.And if you need to discharge a capacitor, lay a gecko across the terminals to short it out.
Can anyone tell what these are?
>>2975694Not a single bed bug, in two weeks.I think it's mites

Why are these things so ungodly expensive? Are they at least worth it quality and ergonomics wise?
>>2979355Mines fucking destroyed. Found a Milwaukee electricians belt with all the pouches and everything at goodwill for $19 when it's normally $100. That thing has been holding up stupidly well for all my tools
20 years ago I had a local canvas shop make me a tool bag to my needs, cost me $90. Spent another $60 in the past 20 years having them do a couple fixes and a minor change while they were at it. Probably would cost $150 in today money.
>>2975562A good tool bag needs to tough as hell because loose tools will damage weaker materials.A good tool bag needs to be designed with logical layouts, pockets, and spaces that allows for organization.A good tool bag needs to be large enough to hold your gear but not so large it's a cumbersome bitch that gets in the way.All of that taken into account you need something made with tough material (special tools and more expensive material), well designed (planning, multi-step prep, etc), and researched. All that leads to something that will be expensive. That said, MOST people don't need a GOOD tool bag, just a canvas tote with common shit in it. Good tool bags are for people who make a living doing work with tools instead of small repairs and basic handyman stuff.
>>2979355I had one once, almost completely forgotten about it.. Lasted less than a year. It got a hole in one of the inner pockets and a tool or two disappeared in between the layers of the bottom. Found out after completely clearing it out one day and tossed it. Also black bags suck since it tends to hide dark/black items especially in low lighting situations.
>>2980299At work I just load up all of my tools in a big Milwaukee contractor bag and it's always on a cart so it won't get raw meat all over it. It only cost 20 bucks.
so i just discovered that mongolian baskets are a real thing and they look pretty nice.Has anyone made one? if so how, what is your method? anyone got any insights or want to chime in with how you think would be the best way to go about making one?
>>2976511It looks like they just make a rectanglish mat and turn it into a basket after
>>2976520i don't think that's how they do it, it's clearly woven sideways in that shape but i can't tell exactly how one would go about doing it
It doesn't even look wovenlooks like a bunch of sticks run across the space and just cut off the extrawhile adding sticks they're weaving a string over and under every inch or so along the length
What are some good business ideas for diy types?
skin and hair care with compounds that work but natural bases
>>2976431100,000 isn’t enough to own a home in many places and no tradie is making that part time. Who’s the tard wrangler that let you out of their sight to post online? I bet they’ll be out of a job and looking for one of those part $200,000 hvac or plumbing jobs, full time of course.
You work with 3d printers? Even slightly artistic, maybe with clay or 3D modeling? How about a penchant for clever and efficient organization/distribution solutions? Can you market yourself? Make silicone dildos. It's way more complicated than you might at first suspect, and in the end, it goes in your end.
>>2980118you pay for a house over many years dude
>>2980354did you vacuum cure it or whatever
Gah!
I'm a single dude who has rented a small apartment for two years. It smells okay, but I can tell there's a slight smell when I come home and I want to improve the smell and have it be pleasant, rather than neutral at best. My apartment is all carpeted and painted, rather than wallpaper or hard floors. It had a completely neutral and "light" smell when I first moved on, so whatever smell exists is created by me.I'm talking specifically about eliminating any subtle undertones. For the most part, there aren't any notable or offensive smells that immediately hit you and I am mostly noseblind to my apartment, but there are a few subtler smells that are somewhat deep and musty that you can smell when you walk in the door. Think more like unchanged bed sheets, rather than sour smells or what a NEET's basement would smell like.I change my bedsheets every two weeks, I keep my dirty clothes in a closed hamper in the bathroom, and I don't leave any dishes or crap lying around that's gross. However, I admit that I only tend to do big, whole-apartment cleans every several months, rather than small and often.Is it just a case of vacuuming more often and airing out the apartment when I can? I already add pleasant smells to the apartment through reed diffusers and aromatherapy, and I try to keep my kitchen closed when cooking so that cooking smells don't seep into the rest of the apartment. It's a 40m^2 apartment, so it's small.Pic related - not my carpet, but my apartment has a low-pile carpet like this throughout it.
>>2979972have your femboy take a fat shit in the living room. that will adjust the baseline nose-blindness threshold to better suit your needs.
>>2979972Carpet shampooer.Replace old curtains.Ask landlord about the furnace filter( if you cant change it yourself. My old apartment had an individual furnace.)Dust more often.Dont leave anything damp around.Pets will ALWAYS leave a smell. No matter what you do.Wipe down hard surfaces with a pine or lemon scented cleaner.Clean bathroom and kitchen often.Use a Swiffer Wetjet if you dont like mopping.Best way I found to keep a good smell around was to use scented wax melts. Get a real strong scent. They work great in small spaces, spread easily, and last quite awhile.Those crappy air fresheners(both aerosol and regular ones) don't last at all. t. janitor and cleaning OCD nazi.
>>2979972Most odors that linger are from oils like human hairs or dog fur.Once the hairs or fur touch anything fabric or wood even plastic the oils then transfer to those materials taking the odor with them.A good way to try and remove said oils is with baking soda to touch and suck up said oils which your can then vacuum up. Leave the baking soda in the carpet overnight before vacuuming. For sinks and stuff, use cleaning vinegar, yea it stinks at first but it totally kills odors.However when oils really soak into materials at some point they just need to be replaced
fabreeze is a hydro carbon that binds well to most things, the addition of the perfume is only to make you remember to use it like mint in toothpaste. vinegar in a squirt bottle is an acid so your organics have trouble after feeding on your shed skin a basic.
>>2979972open your windows and ventilate the house more often.
