I'd like to know if anyone used linseed oil paint on wood and metal and what's their verdict on it, pros and cons.I also want to know if it's worth making linseed oil paint, there aren't that many stores nearby selling linseed oil paint for hardware purposes.
>>2863452He meant brittle. It gets brittle
>>2863109I've used it as a foundation on rusty steel a lot. Brush of the loose rust, soak in linseedoil with some thinner (1:1 to 1:2), let dry, and the rust is sealed. Then throw on a layer of linseedoil / lead oxide (or iron, if you don't trust yourself to use a dust mask properly) and it'll never rust again.Did that on the bottom of my truck after fixing it, and so far, it still looks pristine.On wood, my experiences haven't been that good. The linseed oil seems to come back out of the wood when exposed to the sun, and it gets sticky. Though that may also be some influence from resins (needlewoods, not sure which ones) mixing with the oil.
>>2863536or you could brush on linseed oil on already hot metal and then torch it for a while till it is dry and black. that's a traditional method here in my cunt to make metal last. probably same for many other countries out there
>>2863332You buy a pigment and add oil according to the datasheet soecified oil number. Then thin with turpentine and mix in a mortar. Synthetic anorganic pigments mix with the least effort
>>2863109Bump, just because I've only used linseed oil, once and had no idea it was so versatile.

>>286176928.77 metric tonnes >>2862006There’s a shortage for good ones, but bad ones are often available at ports. Transport costs are often more than their weight in metal. They’re about 3 tonnes heavy so maybe $600 in steel and smaller scrap yards won’t take them because they have to be taken apart

>>2863469don't buy vevor, it's real pain. The motor is too weaky you'll struggle with drilling 12mm holes, the chuck has pathetic 15mm clearance, the tailstock is not centered properly etc. Small older lathes are a bit more expensive, you'll probably spend similar time getting them to work but you will end up with a capable machine in the endt. had a mini lathe and bought a large lathe
>hire a new "machinist">he worked mass production, making the same part for 20 years>can't read a blueprint, change inserts, tell you what any g or m code means, gets confused with basic concepts, and says this place needs more engineers to work on things before it gets to him so there's less problems I've about fucking had it
I really have a thing for rustic looking raw concrete structures. How hard would it be to cast your own conrete panels and somehow slab an inhabitable building together? Picrelated.
>>2860962Best case scenario you will get the redneck parody of a concrete mass. Something between gipsies atrocities and Mordor's orcs constructions.
>>2863615 >>2864235A neighbour used these. He put it together like Lego (not sure if there was any glue involved. He stacked up the entire structure in a few days with rebar, and hired a concrete pouring service and filled it all up.Others thought the immense pressure would make these burst, but they held. The expanded polystyrene is kept after the concrete sets and acts as thermal insulation. The building still stands, and he is very satisfied with the result.
>>2863615Forget that entire post.The 2K boxes tend to be "WWT" (condemned for maritime use) due to being beat to shit with bad end door gaskets. Their bottom shape is not flat and if buried a water trap.Containers don't make great spall liners and as an experienced and successful container use no fucking way would I be stupid enough to bury one. If you must have a bunker you don't need a container to build it. Using surplus steel tanks is far wiser because their outside does not have water traps and cavities concrete won't properly fill, and because container walls are weak without reinforcement. Get surplus preferably cleaned steel storage tanks then do most of your welding and fab above ground. Military bunkers tend to differ from fantasy hugboxen in often being partially above grade for easy access. You will never build it but wagie dreams are a fun distraction. If you want just the hugbox then decorate the inside of a container and you can have your dream for less money since the view without windows will be the same.

>>2865952Maybe for the middle one IF you're in the market for these type of pliers. Those other two should be thrown back in to the kiln they came out of.
>>2866273>>2865952Those soft jaw pliers come in useful once in a blue moon for chrome plumbing fixtures.As for the other two, I guess you can never have too many pliers. But with pliers like that, it all comes down to the quality of the steel and heat treat.

>>2866212I've had decent luck with Stanley stuff.
>>2866212Better than no name generic stuff. In Yurop, the Stanley power tools look like rebranded Craftsman. And a few years back, Walmart used to have some Stanley hand tools and they were the better option if you wanted something nicer than Hyper Tough.

A lot of them seem to be ass pulls, which aren't useful for actual engineering.Also, are you generating electricity solely from solar? I thought the entire point was you were turning the potential energy from your altitude into electricity.
>>2864264>welding a copper pipeWelding is join 2 pieces of metal by melting them and they fuse together as they cool. I very much doubt you are doing this with copper pipe. You are probably brazing them, which is where you melt a 3rd metal and it cools and joins 2 pieces together. This is also called soldering and is what is normally done with copper pipe.The secret to a good braze is a clean surfaces and flux. For copper pipe, you very much need to empty the pipe.

I grew up fucking around on this thing. almost 50 years old, and still going. dad gave it to me last year. it's out of retirement and up to it's biggest work ever. equal part acreage mower and farm utility vehicle.I set two 4×4 posts this evening. 4 feet out from north exterior wall of our solar shed. 88 inches apart. my plan is to take a single sheet of 7/16 ply I have on hand to make a roof. attach 2×4s around the 4×8 sheet 3.5" edge up, then have one going across the middle for strength.I will hinge mount this new roof panel to the existing shed roof lower edge. it is already low @ 5 feet. I set the two new posts at 45" tall. with the new roof hinge mounted I can lift it up to drive under, then once I'm off the dynamark, I can lower the roof and latch it to the posts that it will also sit on. that way, I don't have to do some awkward ducking while driving move and bang my head when parking.the solar shed roof is at a 30° Pitch. South wall is 13' high down to 5' for best solar angle. there is also an 8" overhang which makes my attachment point even lower than 5'.that's the plan. I'll update as I go.
>>2866163for the record, he turns 84 in a week.we built the entire solar shed, seen in photos, together. every timber, screw, door, hinge & shingle. we even dug the foundation prior to pour. finished it December 2023. 3 days after completion, he went in for a routine stress test. they found a 95% blockage in his widomaker. put in a stint & we were installing the wiring, outlets and lights inside the shed 5 weeks later.the man is a machine. he is who I pattern my life after. good fathers raise good men.
>>2866167>turns 84 in a weekI turned 81 last April.I spent the weekend showing my grandson how to put up tile for a counter back-splash.It's only fair. I did tile counter-top and backs-plash for his brother a couple of years ago.My son (who had his 57th birthday last week) and I work on something most weekends.Installing underground electrical wire to a sub-panel we're installing is for next weekend.
>>2866171You're a fucking Rock Star.Real Men, like yourself are a dying breed... no offense. I hope your Kids took up your ways and mindset. sounds like you were a great skill & drive example. it took me a LOOOOOOONG time to come around. I was a an entitled twat growing up. he still taught me, and I don't know how he did it. around 23 I got my shit gathered up. 24 I was a homeowner. I was able to do my own car and home maintenance because of him... with him physically there 100% of each and every crisis, to teach me the ways.society owes men like yall a debt.
>>2866173(same anon)not only did I become a functional homeowner at 24, I went on to make a career out of trade work, all because of the skills he taught me. I now own a nice, custom built home, and DIY solar... again, all because of skills he taught. I am a jack of all trades, and master at many.I would assume that my DIY abilities save me annually in maintenance costs and farm/home construction, equal to my paid salary at my trade work job.
>>2866176>I would assume that my DIY abilities save me annually in maintenance costs and farm/home construction, equal to my paid salary at my trade work job.Easily the same here, but its kinda a catch 22 because I find myself buying more broke down shit to fix because I can do it so cheaply. And now I have entirely too many projects...
Cordless tools are the scam of the century>costs 4X as much as corded>no power>constantly changing and charging batteries>batteries lose potency after 12 months and are costly to replace>if you upgrade a tool, the better tool is a different brand requiring new charger and different type of batteriesMeanwhile if you have a small generator and an extension cord you can so everything cordless tools do for a fraction of the cost.
>>2866020Ok bud. Believe whatever you want to believe. No one cares.
>>2866012Batteries don’t cost $200ea anymore unless you’re getting the newest giant premium pack. You can get 4.0Ah packs that will run any homeowner tool just fine pretty much for $40-$60ea with the 2pks that are always on sale. That’s $4-$6 per cell, and that’s not much more than an individual buyer would pay for those Samsung or LG cells
>>2850832>6 mmLOL. That’s babbys first hole. You’d have a point with 10 mm + holes, but 6 mm? My teeny tiny 12V hammer can drill those all day (yes, I do have to swap the battery, but I’ll just do that on my way to the loo. Are you a Pajeet that still works with anemic NiCd and doesn’t go to the loo?)>>2862932> I have a black and decker cordless drill and it broke before the batteries died.Look a this boomer who thinks >muh B&D is the great American tool brand…B&D is cheapest, bottom of the barrel chinesium and a corded one would have died too.
>>2850832Yes, cordless are only rated in for < 10mm.Corded, however, have no such limitation.
>>2866020>I even predicted your anecdotal response.>At even that tripfag posted a graph from an actual test.>You’re just imagining how great they are because you paid through the ass for them. That’s typical human behaviour though… don’t worry about it.>Those oxygen-free, erbium-doped, unidirectional monster speaker cables really does sound better to an audiophool!>Just like you really think your batteries are in great condition with hardly any loss after the first year.
I recently got these. Are the handles meant to come off so easy?
>>2864349>That's normally how you'd attach a tool that's meant to transfer force sideways (like a shovel), not something that's meant to transfer force straight.Wood chisels in normal, perfectly acceptable operations and techniques are used in ways that direct loads sideways all the time...probably the most common area would be chiseling out deep mortise pockets and prying chips up and out (like a shovel), sometimes using the shoulder of the hole as a fulcrum. If you look at high quality large mortise chisels, that kind of mount is pretty common for that reason...its also not unusual to use a sharp chisel and an almost vertical approach to scrape sideways and flatten out the bottoms of holes, that's like doing the same thing with a shovel or a hoe.Woodturning skews are another kind of chisel that does almost all of its cutting in that same manner to shave off and cut grooves and such. They generally don't use that socket mount but they don't need to; the serious force on a lathe is developed by the tool and concentrated between the work and the fulcrum of the tool rest. All the handle needs to do is let you control the feed rate to minimize the loads...it's not used to drive the cutting edge.Socket mounts are usually seen on chisels that get beaten into wood and used to pry out big chunks of waste material, and/or to work with the cutting edge way down in a hole with restricted approach angles.
>>2865148Just to clarify...when I said "tool" in the following I meant the lathe supplies the force and not the operator->the serious force on a lathe is developed by the tool but in this part the "tool" in "tool rest" is the skew chisel.>...and concentrated between the work and the fulcrum of the tool rest.
>>2865125>in use centuries laterWhy do I care about disposable tools outlasting me? Handles are easy to make if one must.
>>2863279kek cant argue against that, spot on
>>2865925I have two chills like that with the black or blue plastic handles. They hold an edge decently but I don't use them for fine working
Alright nibbers, I have a literal square meter where I have to fit bathroom.The place was intended for a shitter and a tiny sink but I need to turn it into a complete bathroom so I can rent it.What are your ideas?
