Do you buy/use old or novel tools?
>>2983723yeah but why is an old tool so reliant on perfect alignment
>>2983745Matching pinion and ring gears is refined work even in a low-speed application like a chest drill.
>>2983561I remember this bitch.It removed the skin from my finger when the handle dropped.
>>2983754The previous owner or whoever put two rubber rings at each end of the handle to damp the impact, seems like a nice addition
>>2983438I have one I rescued from a garage sale, brilliant tool. The original cordless drill.
hehe
we can see your fat ass in the reflection btw
I don't get it. What is the intent/focal point of the image? What does "cash me now" mean?

>>2981283Such a classic narcissistic asshole. Everybody knows to give Special Boy his space, even though they're usually crowded around him to hear his brilliance and bask in his glory, because he's a very important piggie doing work on his phone on which the world depends ('running for POTUS').

Ok /fit/ how do I remove this old gross grout in my bathroom
>>2982745This is what I would do, it would take so much methamphetamine to get that grout out it mosaic tile. Fuck that.
>>2982940Yep, way easier and cheaper to demo and re-lay. Your time has some value, the hours into cleaning that is too much. Plus you can fix whatever the spic did to the underlayment
>>2982943That is maybe two hours work to clean.
scrape every joint and vacuum it clean yea
>>2982248Like this.
>does nothingPost /diy/ placebo effect products
>>2981703Softens the PVC to accept the adhesive so the resulting joint is chemically welded.
>>2980418Clear primer was the original. Since we imported the turd world, and we can’t trust them, we had to add the purple tint.
I like primer. It smells good. Also seems to make the glue work even better. And the way the combo of glue/primer works to soften and lube the pvc so your glue joints slide together and bottom out in the joint easily is a godsend.
>>2983528This. You’re supposed to sniff the primer and use it to clean up drying pvc glue that you made a mess with. Use the glue to glue stuff.
>>2980409I've seen newbies stick pipe together with nothing but primer before. We let him turn on the water lmao
I'd like to make my own chess set. I have zero woodworking knowledge.
how do i fart
well you could use another medium. for example, you could make a pawn out of anything you want like paper + glue or clay and let it dry. then using another soft thing that dries over time but stays kinda flexible such as those glue gun glues or silicon or putty make a mould. then fill the mould with another clay like so many times. and now you have a shit ton of identical pawns.
just use the same process people use for cutting boards for the board for the pieces you could just do geometric modern pieces so it's easier to cut
>>2983472find a man to do it for you.
>>2983472you can cut shape and attach pieces of wood to one another. the color comes from stain. the more you know.did you have a question?
I have this shower cabin since last week. I applied good quality water resistant bathroom sealant on all the black strips at the white bottom to make it water tight. However every time I shower there is still a small amount of water on the back where the red arrow is drawn. This is not visible from the front, but my shower is standing a bit from the wall because I wanna make sure everything is not leaking.I checked all the hoses in the back, the knobs, the fittings and they seem fine. So the water is still coming from somewhere, but I dont know where.I used really a lot of high quality water resistant bathroom sealant and let it dry for 3 days, however there is always after showering a small amount of water in the back on the floor plate.I'm wondering where is this water coming from, and can it hurt as long as it doesn't flow over or hit the floor?Even if it hits the floor, it's only tiny bits which would dry before it makes a big problem right? Afterall the bathroom floor is water resistant there was an open shower in this spot before but I only changed the drain connection so only if there is a lot of water this could be a problem but i sometimes look with endoscope or mirror and see there is not any water on the floor, just behind the glass at the red arrow.Thanks
leaks from the plumbing?
>>2983712I dont think so, i checked and the back panel and hoses are dry, my thought maybe its going through the walls or something? I need to maybe apply sealant to the walls too but it says this is a sealant-free model whatever the fuck that means
>>2983703Maybe it's condensation. Is the room ventilated?

bushes are growing towards my potting bench, looking for tips on controlling growth.
>>2979784ehh not bad once a year application, part of yearly maintenance
Just get a hedge trimmer and swing away.

especially in my backyard im on 2 acres of land at approximately 20,000 meter deep of core soil.I have a group of investors ready to make the jump at any given time the only thing stopping me is not having the skill and materials to build the equipment to hit wells
>>2982847bro lol>20,000 meter deepA depth of 20,000 meters (roughly 65,600 feet) is nearly double the depth of the deepest known point in Earth's ocean, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, which is approximately 10,994 to 11,000 meters (roughly 36,000 feet) deep. Such depths are generally found in fictional settings or theoretical scenarios, such as in the anime/manga
>>2982847do you have the mineral rights?
>>2982847you're not digging 20 km with hand built equipment. in midwestern us most drills would be damaged beyond function by geothermal heat before ~15 km as >>2982959 asked do you have mineral rights for the oil? are you even sure there is oil to be drilled? oil is whats known as a migratory resource, someone two states over could have claim on that oil.if you're serious about producing energy you're better off using your property for a solar farm. its more cost effective at your scale and if you work with your local power company will probably be less of a regulatory hell.
canadian style spring pole drills have good reputation, lifting material with air is handy for unknown particulate sizes and keeps the moving parts in a serviceable location, air lift pumps and good knees. the two brands i have heard about are lufkin and lacy air balance i think they are still the names to watch. i imagine there is tons of good stuff still on the covid engineering blogs, some really cool diy stuff came out of those like oxygen concentrators for improving torch efficiency.

My German Shepard likes going in and out of the house (I'm lucky enough to have a big backyard) and I have 2 cats I'm trying to keep in the house. I trained him to pull the door open with a rope, and installed two door closing hinges to close the door behind him. However, his nose has been getting rubbed raw because while he's smart enough to grab the robe, he still uses his nose to push it the rest of the way open. I already have a door closing mechanism, and I don't want to spend 300 dollars installing an automatic button activated door opener/closer. Any recommendations for a cheap pulley or winch or something that can: 1. Be opened via a button 2. Can be programmed to release it's tension after a few seconds, so that it lets the load (the door) go?
>shepherd breed>doenst have livestock to heard why are petfags so psychotic?
You let the dog into the house? Is this an American thing?
>>2983645He keeps crackheads away, they see me walking him or see those big ass predator ears come up from behind the fence and they know they shouldn't be coming near MY house. >>2983646It gets hot where I live, gotta let him cool off in the house sometimes.
A cordless 6.5" and corded 10.25" circular saw is the perfect, do-everything circular saw setup. Better than any 7.25" plus anything or those long 4.5" saws.
>>2979147You can get a nice 10" miter saw for fairly cheap
>>2975421I dislike the 12v battery tool systems. You're going to have less run time, torque, and top end. It's not a problem for a few tasks, but when you're working you're getting 25-50% improvement per use with the standard 18v tools. Small blade cutoff saws are rehoused angle grinders. They cannot make finish cuts well. That's before hoping those small aluminum rails will keep you true for whatever 6" 8" cut they're trying. Get proper carpentry tools, don't buy half measures.
>>2969462just get a corded 8.25 skilsaw and a decent handsaw and be done with it
>>2982607Why 8.25? Seems just bigger for not much practical gain, and it seems no one makes them anymore except Skil and Makita, who makes circular saws in every weird size under the sun.
>>2982755I guess so you only need to buy a few interchangeable blades for that and your portable table saw, or really need that extra 1/2" cutting depth.
Is quality work even possible in this wretched day and age?
>>2982146sounds like a you problem.
>>2974858Yes, just not where you expect them. A prominent example is the movie and TV industry, there's a whole infrastructure of craftsmen who still know how to do these historic styles, and suppliers who make historic-style mouldings and other trim for them to use. There are also people who specialize in restoring and maintaining historic properties.
>>2974858Only through one’s own voilition and education is that guranteed. For paid services, it may as well be a coin toss.
>>2977504Nobody wants to copper solder cause if you fuck up they know they're getting got on their insurance. Also if you got copper you have an old house which means there might be a failure hiding behind a simple fix. It's a bummer but part of the deal, goes hand in hand with old shit>t. Fixlet with a 1929 house
>>2974858Scribing something like that is tough and it looks like they chose to freehand that bit and fucked up
I just think the color is cool
>>2983388as far as household names go, especially in the homeowner/diyer segment they compete, craftsman definitely has more recognition than skil. People underestimate how big Sears craftsman was in its heyday.
>>2973461> red (not craftsman or bauer)So, Hilti?Because you can’t mean Milwaukee, since that’s just Ryobi, but in TTIs more expensive red flavor.
>>2983415ryobi and milwaukee couldn't be more different both externally and internally
>>2983391It was twisting just from a 6mm metal bit, a 4mm wood bit pilot cut through the old/cheap pvc with less torque
>>2982450I have a rigid hacksaw with fucked up battery tabs. I have to hold the battery in place when I use it or the vibration breaks the contact. Batteries also drain quick, but they're old now. I can't get reliable info if I can refurb them with new cells or if the bms is going to be a fag about it.
i got one of those motorized standing desk frames but i still need a desk top; i'm thinking 1x4 pine, either biscuit jointed or tongue and groove to keep the boards together, this seems like a simple project but outside of home renovation shit i've never done a woodworking project. does anyone have any tips before i go out and spend a bunch of cash on lumber?
Show me that pink bussy pigskin
>>2983326go to an actual lumber supplier and get a hardwood. maple, oak, or if you want to be gay, walnut. whatever it is, get s4s; it's the most expensive but will require the least work. glue it together on something flat with titebond 2 and sand it to 220 grit. then go to home depot, buy 2 rattle cans of lacquer, finish it and attach the legs
I'd go to home depot and get a prefab section of laminate countertop. Simple & easy. Plus the slick laminate surface is typically better for mouse use than finished wood would be.
>>2983564>Plus the slick laminate surface is typically better for mouse use than finished wood would be.You should be using some kind of mouse/desk pad under your mouse either way.
>>2983565>You should be using some kind of mouse/desk pad under your mouse either way.Why? I've never needed one. Never had a problem with tracking/accuracy and it slides on the laminate like it was floating on air.
