Have you heard of essential oil pens? They look like vapes, but they exhale mist of essential oils and cbd. It seems cool and I want to try but it's expensive. So is there a way to make reusable one?
>essential oilsSounds kinda gay. bro.
>>2829094Either own up to smoking weed like the fag that you are, or just don't do it.
>>2829094boil some water, put it a bowl, add some essential oils, put your head over it with a towel to cover everything, then breathe in.

I get in situations like this sometimes. Use a box cutter to cut away the excess. Simple

Is it better to start your own business or buy an established one?I want to go into the junk hauling industry, but there is so much competition that the market is just too saturated. Would it be more conducive to just buyout some established brand than to start from scratch?I'm looking at these business buying sites and they have a lot of moving/junk removal companies listed on there for lowball numbers like 150k to 300k.

Threw together a crude door for my cabin I built. It's 5/8 ply nailed to 2x4 boards. I thought once I nailed the plywood it would stiffen everything up but the top and bottom are wobbly. Suggestions on how to reinforce the door?Note there's some mean gaps as well alat the door entrance but I'm going to put fat trim to fill. Door also doesn't completely open and contacts floor but it opens up enough to get in and out the house
>>2828907you gotta learn some basic wood working and do some lap joints and not lean on the anglesthe diagonals would help with the eventual sag, but seeing as nothing is really joined together, not a reliable solution
>>2828934even comparing a hollow core door to this is a joke. hollow core doors are just expanded cardboard and glue. they have no mass nor components to bend
>>2829107>>2829108maybe drill some holes through the rail at the end of every horizontal and insert some hefty dowels/rods and glue, at least two per end.
>>2829109That's exactly what I was thinking, too.
>>2829067The outside looks a lot better than your door, that's for sure.
I have an old alarm clock on which I don't care for the old cord. I plan to replace it. The plug of the existing cord says "TAIHE TP18", which I'm interpreting as being an 18AWG cord. It's non-polarized.I bought this from Amazon:https://a.co/d/5z77LMxAnd plan to snip off the end and solder in the wire where the current one is.Here's my dumb question: is there any risk in this? It's my first time doing this. I've done a lot of electrical on my house but this type of thing is new to me.
no risk. Just proceed. I have a lot more delicate repair to do on a 'device' of greater antiquity. Clock will be easy-peasy.Polarization will not be important.
>>2829095Okay then. Here's hoping I don't burn down my house
any good sites out there for learning tools and basic common parts for true beginners and what they do?the extent of my DIY knowledge is I took the flow restrictor out of the showerhead, and I put together this chair from the pic, which took an hour doing it in my small room trying to figure out how i'm supposed to keep the arms and the seat all together with 2 hands while a third hand screws them in before realizing I could just do it one at a time and slide the seat in. also kept trying to jam in a piece that apparently you just lightly put in and fold down. Like, i watched a video of someone putting it together beforehand, but it was a different model, but he called the wheels "casters" and i would've just called em wheels. Whats the point of the little ring things you put over screws? etc. These kinda basic things I have to know before attempting anything else.Other than that I just make furniture out of boxes cuz im poor. My current desk is a keyboard stand with a plank of wood from my old ikea bed on top of it, extended out on each side by a mountain of boxes which double as a place where i can keep stuff. I'm pretty proud of this ingenuity ngl.
>>2828128>Whats the point of the little ring things you put over screws?It's either a flatwasher or a lockwasher. One is to keep the screw from getting pulled through the hole and the other is to keep it from loosening itself from general use.Here is as good a place as any to learn the basics. There are also several good youtube channels like Project Farm or DIY Basics
>>2828128I think you may want more basis in basic science stuff like materials (hardness, elasticity, stress concentrations), statics, and basic ’machine’ parts (bearings, screws, bolts, hinges). The rest is just doing stuff. Disassemble something, question why parts are there, or why they are shaped like they are. Try to build something and question why it fails. Most shit is designed just by someone with knowledge and experience wondering “how do I make this thing not fail, cheaply”. Also look into manufacturing (what’s “how it’s made”). A lot of stuff these days is designed the way it is just to make them easy to manufacture. There’s a great book called ‘Structures’ by L.E. Gordon that explains a lot of basic considerations on how to build stuff. There’s also Industrial Production by Kals which is a uni textbook that goes over standard parts and methods of producing and attaching things
Rather than searching for sites, which can be ephemeral, and require a computer set up, go for books. You can get many great basic diy books at thrift stores, with titles like The Home Digest Fix It Yourself Guide. You can also get some great educational books by finding the appropriate FM or TM military manual. A lot of those are on sites like SCRIBED if you want pdf files rather than hardcopy. A great book for the absolute beginner: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Illustrated-Everything-Hardware-Stores/dp/0028625757
I need a circuit to install on my front porch. Kids are hitting my fence everytime they go out, and its driving my mom to the point of tears. Their parents are assholes (the whole place is getting filled with asshats), and I need to take matters into my own hands. An impact sensor plugged to a strong siren will do the trick for now. Either that or big ass dogs to chase away the kids, but Id rather make the alarm.
>>2827884My mom had a similar problem once. The neighbor's kids kept coming in her yard and climbing her tree. They yelled and bitched but the little sumbitches kept doing it. One day my mom cleaned all the dog shit out of the yard and smeared it all over the tree. They got caked in shit when they tried climbing the tree and took off. They never came back.tl:dr smear shit or industrial grease on fence until they get the hint.
>>2827884Pay a homeless dude to kick the shit out of them
Any kind of siren or other loud noise maker will just encourage the kids to do it more as being shitheads is their motivation. Depending on the age and light reflectivity of the "kids", a large dog might indeed help. Just be absolutely sure it can't make it past the fence.

So, I have a bunch of antlers and I am trying to think of things I can do with them.They're only rather small roe antlers, but something should be done with them.HOWEVER, I don't want to do the usual stuff like clotheshooks, grips for things I don't actually need etc., and before I make toggles from them I wanted to ask if anyone has any other ideas.

I want to build a custom midi keyboard enclosure with a metal base plate and build my enclosure on top of that out of hardwood. The side panels would attach to the base plate with brackets while the front and back panel would sit directly on the metal base plateI want to find out how to achieve the necessary stiffness of the base plate so that it will support the 5kg heavy key mechanism+ the 3kg hardwood and not flex under the pressure of playing. Would a 1.5 mm stainless steel plate do the job if i would have it bent into an L shape so it forms the backside also or would i need to bend it into a U shape. If so, would the front and back side at 1cm and 3cm be high enough to yield the desired stiffness? Could a 1mm stainless steel U shape bent be enough already? Ideally i would want to have only an L shape bend so theres only wood visible in the front side..Picrel is the design im going for but only the keyboard part without the panel above with all the buttons. The dimensions of the base plate are 100cm x 24cm.If anyone has any other approaches they could recommend to achieve such a design it would be greatly appreciated.
>>2827751i never understood why moog went so nuts with this synth. i think something simple like the voyager is better. anyway, ignore me, just bumping the thread
>>2827866I'd go as thick as possible. It's about 2kg for every mm of thickness at that size, so figure out how heavy you can tolerate it and go from there.You'd need a heavy duty bead roller for anything above 1mm, but you'd also need a metal brake to get a clean bend on the long side. Either you're spending a lot on tools to make this one thing, you're paying a shop to make the plate, or you're doing a different design entirely. I'd probably just make the base out of plywood. If you need metal for grounding or shielding, use copper tape on the inside.
>>28277513mm steel plate would be fine.
>>2828901I would love to make things out of sheet metal but hate how you need to spend a million on specialized tools to make anything, especially anything curved
>>2827751Personally I think you need to approach the whole idea differently and not treat the wooden part as if it has no bearing on strength and stiffness and is just cosmetic.A shallow tray like you describe will work as a chassis but aluminum makes more sense...and rather than fabricating something from scratch there's all kinds of extrusions that can be combined to make very light but strong electronics chassis...some made just for that purpose (pic related) and others L and T shapes that can be adapted and screwed/epoxied to a flat sheet. There's Eurorack rail extrusions and enclosure systems that may also be worth looking at for ideas.Regardless of how you make the sides of a U shaped chassis tray there's no reason you can't apply the wood outside that vertical part and hide it, or bury the metal in a kerf cut in the wood.Integrated this way the wood can be a major source of structural stiffness, and not just decorating a chassis that does all the work.

Getting my crawl space spray foamed helped a lot. Wonder if spray foaming the roof rafters or foam boards in the attic will help. Have considered taking the vynle siding off to double insult too. Planting a wall between the house and the road will work neighbors that have a vegetation wall on a berm get the best results.
