I've been looking at some type of large rolling toolbox since I saw one of my co-workers showing off his Milwaukee pack out. Every brand, even the low level brands like ryobi, charge like $200 - $350 for this. A fucking plastic box with wheels. Are there cheaper alternatives that function the same?
It’s not cheaper but it is a different take on the idea: I got a MakTrak setup for my RC car racing equipment to replace the ubiquitous black 27-gallon totes. The MakTrak stuff kicks fucking ass because you can open any box in the stack even if it’s on the bottom.
>>2953882>buy hand trolley >stick your tooboxes on it>strap down with Nylon™ webbing as necessary easy, simple, quick
>>2953882these looks cool but in reality they can be more of a pain in the ass>90% of the time you only need 10% of it>to access the lower boxes you need to lift off the upper ones>n the back of a van or truck where space is limited they take up waaaay more space than they offer inside>...and once there, getting to that drill in the bottom box for a quick job is a choreso no, i tried such setup once, will never do it again.
>>2953885The Hart ones will let you remove entirely from the front like the higher end ones but aren't quite as largeHalf the price tho
>>2954711Yeah, I only use them for fasteners and materials I keep my tools in accessible tool boxes
my work threw out a "labconco 30 inch fumehood". they were rennovating and it was going in the dumpster and i figured i could use it for soldering, or putting my 3d printer in, or sandblasting.well that was about a year and a half ago and it's just been sitting in my garage.the problem is i don't have a benchtop to mount it to. it's 30"x30"x48". which conveniently fits perfectly through normal doors.however if i put a normal sized table under it, it'll no longer fit through doors, which are like 80" tall.I want to keep the footprint able to fit through a door.So, my plan is to make some sort of short table with wheels on it that I can jack up when it's where I want it to stay. I've got 3 ideas for how to do this and I'm hoping you guys could sanity check me on these.
Id grow mushrooms with that thing or make crisper abominations

>>2954288not for the probe no. sterilize your tools forsure but the probes should be new, there like a dollar a piece. and it depends on what country you’re in to find a vendor, look online. i’m just letting you know, the videos in the description for the alibaba one show them straight up plucking hair, this thing doesn’t work it’s a scam.

what work gloves are you guys wearing? need new ones
These are the best for general use. NOT the thick ones, the light breathable ones. They are grippy and cut resistant and smartphone compatible. Cheap enough to just replace when they break, or you can cut the finger tips off and keep using them. For winter, you want Watson "Red Baron" white leather gloves.>t. buildings maintenance and construction 7 years
>>2954421forgot picture, fuck captcha
>>2949303sounds like a larp but 20+ years in the trades and i still havent worn out a set of gloves and my hands looks just fine although a little bit dirty most of the time.every apprentice i ever had failed the>hey gimmie a hand right now!!test. every single one replied>ok just let me get my gloves...that wasnt an option, the only correct answer was to say nothing and just gimmie a hand right fuckin now. if you wear gloves they should be glued to your hand 24/7 no one has time to wait for you looking for them or putting them on. i dont use glves and i still get the job done, faster and cheaper. if i can do it so can they, certain tasks are excused, like welding.
General question: Why the fuck are most leather work gloves YELLOW? I hate that color. If they get wet, they dye your hands yellow too. Oh don't buy Marks (work wearhouse) leather gloves, they are expensive dogshit. Won't last a day out in the woods collecting lumber/branches/logging. Cost $45/pair too. Complete waste of money. They are yellow too fyi.
>>2954439>hurr i know best do what i tell you to do im older than you and holier thou you must be an Insufferable faggot
There hasn't been an /hbg/ thread since the site got taken down. Tell us about your latest batches, recipes and experiments. What is your definitive summertime beer?
>>2953462I poured the yeast on top around 10/12 hours ago, no bubbles still. You think the yeast is all dead since its from 2019 or just wait a full 24/36 hrs? Also how would I even know its oxidized? The juice smelled and looked fine desu
>>2953558>You think the yeast is all dead since its from 2019 or just wait a full 24/36 hrs?It's dead. I didn't even try my yeast packet but noticed it was larger than a regular yeast packet (it weight 20g) so I tasted it and clearly there was also yeast nutrients in there so I added that in addition to fresh yeast. Whether or not the yeast nutrients included in the yeast packet is still effective I don't know. Your stableizers and clearing agents are gone aswell (unless the included clearing was bentonite only)>>2953558>Also how would I even know its oxidized? The juice smelled and looked fine desuI wouldn't go out of my way to find faults. Me I got white wine the colour of Jack Daniels. Tannins and acidity are hard to taste with all that sugar pre fermentation, but when fermented it should be easy to adjust should it be affekted.
>>2953687Actually surprisingly, the yeast wasn't dead. It's fermenting now. I'm assuming whatever was still alive has multiplied and is now fermenting the sugar, despite being a 6 y/o yeast packetYou are correct that the stabilizers and clearing agents are shot though, I can tell just by looking at them.
I'm planning to mix dehydrated apple and grape pomace, rehydrate it just enough to ferment with rum yeast, then distill. Macerate additional pomace in the low wines (possibly after lactic fermentation since that brings out brighter apple flavors) then distill a second time.Proof down with cider and bottle.Would this work?
Has anyone tried to do a decoction mash on a grainfather?

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense
ok so what should i dothey kind of got me by the balls because theyre the only place that sells itshould i just say forget it and hope he doesnt call my bluff, or karen for a manager, or ..?
>>2954339Just go to the manufacturer, clue them in on this interaction, and ask for some help in getting the samples you actually wanted. They will for sure still direct the sale to numbnuts, but I would be surprised if they don't help you out with samples given the chain of events.
>buying and installing flooring for the first time in my life>want to put in specialty floor from a specific manufacturer that seems to only have one consumer distributor in my countrySounds like you already fucked up by being dead-set on the least available item. What kind of flooring is it and why is it so special to you?
>>2954504lineoleumi just think its best suited for this specific, moderately niche, application

I tried losing my mind figuring out some crazy Wile E coyote tier schemes but just trapping the hell out of my house seems to do the trick every fall when the rodents start to look for warmth. Like three times the traps you would think is enough. Brute force wins again.
>>2953616You know, luring cats to hang around near your home with catnip and treats or whatever the furry niggers love sounds like a neat idea.
>>2952588You can make them a bit more humane if you check them frequently enough to notice fresh catches. Put the successful trap in a waterproof container, pour a little cooking oil over the trap to dissolve the glue, take a nice mile-long walk (both to give the oil time to work and to make sure the mouse can't find his way back), and dump the mouse.
>>2952588Just drown em in a bucket of water when you find them, little more humane than just leaving them and less retarded than spending time releasing them after a spa treatment.I use electrified traps and they work well, quick and more humane since it guarantees the kill, though I did have a Chad mouse that escaped one time after jumping around in it like a quantum particle.They also make ones that are CO2 operated with little pressure cartridges, they stick their head in a hole and it bolt guns em, made for outside, predators snatch the carcass, and it connects to an app on your phone for a kill counter.Have done the bucket trap with a little oil in it so they can't climb out but then you got a bucket of slippery rodents banging around to deal with. There's also a vacuum trap that senses and sucks em into a shop vac, but same issue as bucket trap. I'd prefer to kill instantly instead of torturing them.I have a toddler so little bits of food are inevitably dropped everywhere in my house. I had an infestation so bad once that no traps were working so every night I would line each doorway and corridor with dozens of glue traps in a line so there was no avoiding them going from room to room but then had to take them all out before the kid woke up and stepped on one. Lot of work and I considered burning my house down for insurance payout.

Ah, the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Impact Driver™ .... my beloved
>>2954092Makita and it's not even comparable. I don't give a shit milwaukee, dewalt or bosch drive screws .2 seconds faster of they have 7% more torque because its repairability is simply much, much better than the rest of the brands, specially if you want to do it yourself and want to repair older models. good luck finding spare parts for red tools that are 8 or 10 years old. For demolition hammers and breakers it's obviously bosch and hilti are the powerhouses. Pic related is literally has huge outer shell of plastic only to hide a bosch gsh11 trigger lmao.
>>2954097Lots of typos but wtv.
>>2949038I'm just waiting for some anon to post someone gaping their hole with a m12 ratchet or something along those lines...
>>2952244these things are impressive.We've had one for a few years pumping oil, coolant, water and other misc shit full of tiny screws, nuts, swarf. You can buy replacement impellers as well, we replaced it once.

Is there a /diy/ friendly way to make an adjustable height desk? Ideally simple and mechanical, not electric. I just don't really trust the ready built frames that I see for sale and need something bigger and sturdier like pic rel because I plan to have a ton of computer equipment on it and mount my monitors.I know I can just use a cardboard box but I was hoping to make it pretty nice.
>>2950651What are you making a standing desk for? If it's your back, don't. I tried one for an L5-L6 lumbar injury and it made the pain and numbness worse, not to mention adding strain on my legs and joints. Get a floor desk for your back. Elbows 90 degrees, head forward. The only thing that worked for me. As for height adjustable, try searching chink sites for adjustable table/furniture legs. They have twistable ones that seem durable enough.
>>2950651make a non adjustable one, and a tall chair, like the pones used in drafting tables and shitthat you is simpler and you get extra space for storage if you put drawers
>>2954332crisscross applesauce?
>>2954466I change my position a lot but i like to put my legs to the side or stretch them in front with knees half raised. For extra legroom I have a raised main table (coffeetable) and use boxes for the kb+m to keep the arms rested. Poorfag setup but it werks.The subconscious shifting in positions constantly actually helped relieve my sciatica. That's the main thing here, because any position for an extended time is damaging to the spine.
Buy a used electric oneMine was free, this is something not worth making
Y'all make anything neat?
Why isn't there one? Post your /diy/ Halloween
I didn't fully commit but got something carved
/g/ abandoned me. you're still here chat?I could use a little cheer. Its like nobody wants me to be the one who makes this but in the end im the only doing it you know.
>>2953905Yes but im scaling down the scope. Robots are coming out and i might as well perfect the head and skin and call it a day. Unitrees can also be programmed to do whatever and have an onahole between their legs. As long as its mission accomplished its mission accomplished.
>>2953907Massive undertaking, good luck to you
>>2953909Thank you but i have a rough idea of how im going to go about it. The current head moves its mouth and respond so i can go from there.

What toolbox do you have?
>>2953641i actually unironically use that contractor bag as a phone holder in the 'notepad slot'fits personal+work+ all the other slots still open
>>2953641The reviews on the Amazon page I'm getting these pictures from are for a different phone pouch that's just belt loops now. They must have retired the clip tech phone pouch since they cheaped out on the latch and got tired of customer complains.
>>2953434>they're lowes brand and they hardly even fucking sell them for some insane reasonThey're not, Toughbuilt is their own company and Lowe's is just the main dealer for them, but afaik there's no ownership connection and you can find Toughbuilt stuff at other retailers like Ace.
>>2953434>>2953648toughbuilt unfortuantely is kind of going under as a business and may not exist much longer.https://shadowfoam.com/blogs/industry-news/are-toughbuilt-in-troublego delisted from nasdaq and don't have a lot of money relative to debts. some companies in similar situations have bounced back and recovered, but the outlook at the moment is grim. which is a shame, they had some very interesting products.
