Is it possible to modify a bikini so it falls off after the wearer wears it underwater for a few minutes or so? There's a lot of YouTube videos of people pranking each other by giving them a "dissolving bikini" and then laughing when it falls off in the water but most/all of them are fake and the bikini doesn't actually fall off. I could only find one dissolving swimsuit for sale online, it's a one piece and the reviews are somewhat mixed reviewers say you must size up, Fabric did rip a little (before it was wet?), No bra padding, making it obvious it’s fake, Threads holding it together dissolve, not the whole thing. Still fun, even tho my wife was 99% sure what was going on…especially after we had to stretch it hard to get it on, but even after 10 min swimming in the lake only the sides had partly split, advertised.....Less than a minute in the water and the seams came apart. https://www.amazon.com/Dissolving-Swimsuit-Girlfriend-Bachelor-Swimming/dp/B0CR5HC6YHThere's a YouTube video by howcast about this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cV0esyopY_Q with ten million views that states you should just take a regular bikini or one piece and remove all stitching and replace it with "water soluble stitching" and says it works fine in a sowing machine.What kind of water soluble stitching should you use specifically? What kind of bikinis or one pieces will fall apart best without stitching? Ideally it should match the color of the original stitching, dissolve quickly and uniformly and should not rip prior to being worn in the water the stitching ripping when the bikini or one piece is pulled onto the wearer before going in water.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VBq5W1wCRj8https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=asg3hoJPYH4Video review of that swimsuit from AmazonHe recommends a type of thread in the description and says he colored over it with a marker so it blended inhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8tk0uLX2g

You know what i'm really starting to hate fucking ChristmasYou can all go kill yourselves
>>2964946Correction - monochromatic chrismas lights look retarded.
Does anybody actually like using these? I fucking hate themIs there any alternative other than a really sharp razor blade and 4 extra hours of my life?
>>2955658I don't know why those dogshit Bosch routers are so popular. The base is some chink metal that instantly gets fucked from the indexing pin and then the base is jammed on the motor housing. The height adjustment is janky as fuck too. This is one of my favorite tools.
I wish I could get one of these in my shop.
>>2965732im sure aliexpress has a cheap one waiting for you anon
>>2965736...anon i...

Last General: >>2936243linktr(dot)ee/4chansewing <---- links and shitAlways remember, it doesn't have to be the theme, post your work, post what you want to talk about as long as it has something to do with sewing in general, or the craft in general. We welcome everyone and will try our best to help you out. Yes, sewing is an art, it's a practicing art, you will always suck at it, but remember that everyone starts somewhere, so Google everything!Or just show off your work.---------------------------------------------------------------Your question may be stupid, but ask it anyway.also:my bad, I didn't know our thread died. My bad.
>>2965478Fat quarters of fabric maybe, I know I would like that. Make me some nice bias tape out of that.
>>2965112Thanks for the answers. Where do I look for these attachments? eBay? Craigslist?Also, as long as I'm asking, the manual says not to leave the machine plugged in once you're done sewing. Is that a hedge against 1930s power outlets, or should I keep unplugging it?
>>2965589Hedge against 1930’s pedals lighting the house on fire. J/k but they use nichrome wire as resistors and always consume some current when plugged in. I finally just spent a few bucks on a modern replacement for mine.
>>2965589eBay and shopgoodwill.
>>2965589I've found all the attachments I have at thrift stores, mainly the ReUse junk store kind of ones rather than big name thrift stores. The machines there are often overpriced but the accesories often look like archaic stuff people can't recognize so they sell them cheap.
I have an 1100 Square Foot Uninsulated Garage, and a 30K Kerosene Torpedo Heater. How can I give it a fighting chance to warm up the space?
>>2965672You should ask him what his waistline is, also his race.
insulate the foundation as best you can, increase drainage. dig trench stuff in insulate board, dig wrap around cement border put insulate board under that before pouring concrete. the cold is going to get in the changing of materials slows it down, temps stabilize the deeper you get so an L shaped thermal barrier and some gravel will slow it down from soil and water.
>>2965677>You should ask him what his waistline is, also his race.What does that have to do with anything?You should probably step out of the thread if you've never worked in the cold in your life. Coming from zero degree weather into a shop that is heated to 40 degrees is t-shirt time.
goddamn im glad i dont livein snownigger landits 65 and pouring rain here and like 85 in the house and im sweating my balls of sitting around in my underwear but the shop is fucking gross. water dripping off of everything. you can watch bright steel rust in front of your eyes so everything has to get firehosed with wd40 to not become rusty shit
>>2965787>its 65 and pouring rain here and like 85 in the house and im sweating my balls of sitting around in my underwear>fireplace blazingWhy though? Also where I live it routinely gets to over 100 degrees in the summertime and we've had some -30 cold too... Few years back we had -20 for two weeks during the winter. That wasn't fun at all. But it's amazing how much your body will adjust to the different temperatures. Coming out of summer the first day that falls below 50 degrees and you're freezing your ass off, but once you get used to it it's not that bad. Hell after a couple weeks of -20 degree weather, once it warms up to the mid 30's you're running around in a t-shirt because it feels that damn warm. Then when springtime rolls around and it gets up to 85-90 you're about to die again...
Due to personal circumstances, im currently living in a tiny bedroom with barely any space for anything. I have a desk, a nighstand, and my clothes mostly go under the bed in a plastic containerWhat are some tips and tricks for taking full advantage of such a small space? I was thinking of getting a custom-built shelf on top of the bed for storing some stuff, and then a tiny custom made bookshelf that fits the corner since theres a pillar right next to it
>>2965156holy shit
Someone should post that webm about a dude renting 1x1 meter room in New York.
>>2964737I’m surprised no one has posted those Chinese videos yet.
Pay $650 US for a wooden loft bed or could I make it cheaper myself without compromising on the quality of wood?
>>2965772Define quality of wood.Do you want hardwood that looks nice? Is this 650$ bed made of hardwood?If it is the typical soft pine I expect, you can make it cheaper yourself, but you need to know what to look for when buying wood to avoid quality problems that will lead to bad fit due to warped/twisted wood.2 by 4's for building are usually rough sawn and not precise, you want to buy pre-planed wood for furniture and make sure it's not twisted or bend.
>>2960752fortunately not, its a bitch ass job.but i have done every part of it. me and my family doubled the size of our cabin, i tore down and rebuildt my apartment, i have worked in construction, i have done it all. building a house is kind of a common skill for norwegian rurals, its straight out expected of you to know it. you might not be the best at anything, you might be a framer kind of guy, but your friends might be roofer or plumber and together you finish a house in a week.house i currently live in was self-buildt in the late 50s and im gonna rebuild it all with time.
four chan says im doing the captcha wrong and it's lying
>>2962951Here's a specific question:With the intention of cutting costs, which tasks in house-building could an average guy do, and which tasks should be left to professionals?
>>2960752I didn't build my home but when I was 18 my summer job was helping my friend's dad build their home.
>>2963082This sounds like a load of bullshit.I watched a house go up across the street from me. Apart from the engineered beams they used, the only big differences are better wiring and a complicated HVAC. This is compared to my 120 yo house which has retrofitted electrical and no AC.So I'm wondering what you think is more complicated these days?
FUCK! There has to be an easier way!
>>2964178>>2964163The shitty issue for me with these seems to be when the O-rings break and I think the pieces get wedged like a doorstop as you’re trying to pull the cartridge out. They’re super easy like 1/3 of the time with the correct tool, and a huge pain in the ass the other 2/3 of the time.
>>2964211>the pieces get wedged like a doorstop as you’re trying to pull the cartridge outYep, fuck these things and the person that invented them.We have showers at work and every single one leaks because of these fucking pressure balancing cartridges.
>>2964163Shower valves are among few things that sucks way harder in America then elsewhere.My advise is you get a thermostatic shower valve. You can buy a $300 one from Europe or $50 one from chyna, it will be the same shit.Seal the old hole with a stainless sheet.I've done this on one of my showers.>automatically adjusts your water temp>only have to replace o-rings once in a whileI got this cheapo on amazon.>inb4 CelsiusThe scale is inaccurate anyways, you set it to what feels good and forget it exists.
>>2964163Oh these fuckers. Over time the minerals in the water will adhere them into the valve like cement and you have to fucking chip them out with a hammer and flathead. That moen puller is the best at getting them out but it's also a good idea to loosen it up with the plastic thing that comes with the new cartridge. It happens to all types, but mostly when it's the last call of the day. >>2965457Check the ASSE number for these things, have heard some imports will use fake numbers and thus aren't approved by plumbing codes. And god help you if you need a replacement part quickly.
>>2964163>ITT Journeyman Plumber>Knows there is no easier wayThe only "trick" I've found is to get a LARGE nut the same size as the tool's nut and that can get more prying space because sometimes you get to the end of the threads and she's still stuck in there like no other.Make sure you didn't crack any joins on the way out
/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.
>>2965188just slap an onahole on its crouch, a dress on its chasis, and put a bag over its head and call it a day. the most important part of the robot sex doll is the fact that you have to get a vr pilot to 'teach' the robot the right positions, not the skinwalker mask it wears.
>>2965193Ofc the head is important. Fool.This captchas sucks im going to post less frequently.
https://youtube.com/shorts/5ZcY9EsM5FkWell you know how it is going back and forth i might not use the unitree after all but any plans for it walking moving forward are now dropped. I never promised for it to walk i promised for leg movement really.
>>2965681Not saying itll have leg movements thoughtbeit
I think you'd probably be better off trying to DIY some therapy for yourself.
How do you press patterns into leather? I am working on a purse but idk how to make small flowers and stuff on it. Any pointers?
>>2965628i have no ideaiw as readin about leather though recently cos i was researching fur hats, and i decided i want a silver fox fur hat isometime in the future cos i think thats hard as f uck, it will go well with my cloak and hoodanyway yo they sell, they sell fuckein leather scraps, u can make keychains and shit with that or whatever, maybe small pouches. idk what kinda leather ud get for a full belt tho
>>2965628Get a beginner leather craft kit which should include a book on how to make basic patterns as well as the right tools
>>2965637This. Search for tandy leather tools and you'll come across a shit ton of different stamps and punches you can use to make patterns. Try to find someone selling them local at an estate sale or thrift store rather than pay the ridiculous new prices.
I have a 1 year + 27 day old microwave and it's blowing a fuse when I try to use it. I'm not sure what's wrong with it and I'd like to save it from a landfill. It came with a 1 year warranty and warranty expired like 20 days before it broke and the company (Hamilton Beach) refused to service it.I rarely used it and I've used it maybe 20 times to warm up some food over the past year. After I used it last time, it died while cooking in mid-cycle. I could see a flash of light. When I opened it, I saw a blown fuse. It uses those small glass fuses and I had to order them from Amazon.I was hoping it would be as simple as replacing a fuse but obviously that's not the case. Clock and electronics works fine but it immediately blows a fuse when I try to actually cook with it.What's wrong? What can I check? I have a DMM.
>>2958990is the cap also responsible when it appears to heat the food sometimes and doesn't other times and when it does its kinda weak and theres also a little bit of the weird sound and the light kinda flickers a bit
>>2959081>>2959082The cancerous ceramic rings are pink now to distinguish them from the safer ones.
>>2964821and yet here we are, learning too
>>2965604Are they even sold anymore?
>>2964821First sane post of the day
Cool free shit on Craigslist/FB marketplace
>>2965435Same, only I don't even have a voicemail set up. They'll call back or text... Or if not I guess it really wasn't important.
>>2965081My yard pays $1.38/lb for brass.
>>2965081They are free because they are god awful to move.t. former mover
>>2965467I was thinking about getting them and taking the lids and benches and make tables out of them
>>2959299You can grab my wood for free.
hon, good news... the toilet seat will always stay down now. I gotchu babe.
>>2965443Forgot to click on >>2964921
>>2965443*i said” is there a crueler fate that could befall a person”.
>>2965443So if i dont wash my ass and just wipe it ill shit normally?Thatll like not change anything about my life until i take a shower.
>>2965462You really don’t like the feeling of having a clean ass after a shower? You don’t think it would be frustrating after years of having to take a voluminous diarrhea shit after every. single, shower, for life? Knowing that you will go to bed and wake up with an unclean ass? Year after year and decade after decade? Fair enough. I guess some men are just built stronger. .
>>2965559If i can wipe dry, i can clean my ass pretty well. Dont wanna brag but its true.
I work for a company installing garage doors, I'm not that competent and it feels like I do a dead end job with no room for growth.Starting from here what kind of services could I offer if I wanted to work for myself doing some handyman stuff? I own all kinds of tools already.
>>2964964Laminate flooring replacement?I did mine myself. It's a bitch to do it around doorways and have a continuous look.
>>2965367NTA but, as the sun rises and sets, it can shine on the photo eyes and stop the receiving eye from, we'll, receiving. Those things in the photo are basically sunlight blockers, but swapping the eyes around usually fixes the issue. Remember: if your opener wont close the door but you can hold the wall button and the door is able to come down, that's a photo eye misalignment.>>2964980$1000/day no shit? I'm a commercial install/service technician, get treated shitty by my shitty company that doesn't give a fuck about me, and have shit ass hours, and make $30/hr with no negotiation for the next 8 months, apparently. So I'll be monitoring this thread, especially as I don't suck at it.
>>2964964are garage doors too complicated to fabricate on your own >>2965014are those supposed to be like counterweight
>>2965028There are easier ways to go desu. Take care of yourself friend.
