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.
>>2965561I just want the last thin ibhear before i die to be, BOING!
what do i do with this raccoonhe got a head crush trying to cross the road, flawless peltabout to start skinning now

I want to build a dog house. I'm not necessarily a diy guy but also I'm not retarded. Am I correct in thinking that this will be pretty easy? Or is this one of those things that looks easy but there's way more nuance?I don't have a saw so planning on getting the wood cut to the right size from the shop, besides that all I have is a power drill. Any tips are appreciated.
>>2964365Damn that's nice. Idk where you go from there, maybe an in-condo gym/pool?
>>2964337>>2964340Good for you looking after the dog bro, you are a good man. You can tell how genuine someone is by how they interact with animals.
>>2964141>I don't have a sawjust buy a hand saw. I like the pull saws better than the push saws. It will be good for you. Go to home depot or lowes and look at the cuck sheds and get some ideas on construction. Draw out the plans on paper, scale it out, and give it a try. The dog does not care
>>2964368Thanks anon. Here's another one I built with heated dog pads on the floor. Roof not on yet in this picture. Part over the door slides out and is a drawer for storing some stuff.
If you have a house, then your dog should have a house. Let that sweet pupper inside where he or she belongs
How the fuck do i open these?
>>2965511Wtf am I even looking at?
>>2965521its some stupid plug thats holding my m2 drive. not sure if im supposed to just pull really hard or if theres some other trick
>>2965526Never saw anything like that. Try twisting 90 degrees counter-clockwise before pulling. Use needle nose pliers.
>>2965526Is the heat sink clip being retained by the case (bottom-right)? You might have to unhook it before you try to pull the plastic pin.
Has anyone successfully made a doppler radar for measuring bullet speeds using hb100?
>>2957765You need to calculate the frequency range for the proposed bullet speeds then bandpass filter and amplifier. Most likely you can filter this out of whole rubbish.
>>2958299Also you'll have to open that box to get behind comparator BC iirc those shitty motion detectors output a meander for the most massive moving object. That wouldn't do . take the signal right from the mixer, filter the needful and perhaps that'll do.
>>2957765did you ask chatgpt? i asked it something about your idea and this is what I got.Yes — you *can* write code for the cheap Doppler radar motion modules (like the **HB100**, **RCWL-0516**, or **CDM324**) to measure BB or pellet velocities… **BUT** you need to understand their limits first.Below is a breakdown of what works, what doesn’t, and an example of how you *could* build a small Doppler-based FPS meter.and it spit out a bunch of code, you should ask it if you haven't
I guess, the only way is to know is to try and make it.>>2959892code is provided by manufacturers...What problem here is, is it capable in reading signals reflecting off of such small object?
I remember reading somewhere of somebody making a bullet speed device by using 4 sheets of aluminum foil and a device that can measure the voltage or maybe it was ohms.So 2 sets of aluminum foil sheet; each set a distance apart and noted, and each set has the aluminum foil sheets like .125" away from each other.When the bullet hits the first set of aluminum foil there is now voltage passing from sheet 1 to sheet 2.And a few milliseconds or whatever the same exact thing happens to the second set of sheets.A little math happens using the recorded time and the known distance between the sheets and you have your speed.The sheets can usually be fired at several times before they disintegrate, and calibration is done by having both sets of sheets as close as possible and recording the offset.
What is the largest, heaviest, or just plain most ridiculous/absurd thing you've ever had shipped to your place that was DIY related? With some of these free shipping deals you can find online there's not really a reason not to order ridiculous crap and have it sent to your doorstep. I've ordered a 6x26 mill from Harbor Freight, a couple engine short blocks off e-bay. Eight 18.4-38 tractor tires at one time and several other sets of rear tractor tires 4 at a time. My old man bought a 2 post lift, tire machine, and log splitter from Northern tool as well as a couple of bandsaws from Grizzly and a box and pan brake from Enco. Most of the big stuff comes on a freight truck, but the smaller stuff is a lot of times just your standard UPS or Fedex driver. Have ordered quite a few sets of 4 pickup tires. Sometimes 3 or 4 sets at a time. Those always came Fedex. Had the UPS man deliver five 1/2" thick SSQA plates. Bet he loved me for that. Ammo is always heavy as hell, as well as steel and lead bought off the internet. Might have just outdone myself this time though. Just ordered twenty-two 235/85/16 load range F trailer tires from Wal-mart.com... Might have to give that poor bastard a Christmas tip.
Tires showed up today...
>>2963929A gun safe from Walmart.It was a limpy negro and his fat white companion who tried unloading it.One of those where they deliver it from a nearby store.Other than that, a tractor from a used equipment lot. Around 5 tons with the loader. Owner brought it over with his dually and unloaded it in 5min. Solid guy.
>>2965314rumor has it old ties towed with a chain make the best drip torch for burning ditch banks and grass fields. the chain loop keep the wire cords from being left behind
>>2963929Extension for my garage, I had to put it together.
>>2965463>rumor has it old ties towed with a chain make the best drip torch for burning ditch banks and grass fields. the chain loop keep the wire cords from being left behindNice, might have to give that a try. Scored this liquid propane weed burner with a hydaulic boom for $300 or 350 at an auction many years ago. Had to do a bit of work to it, but it straight up kicks ass.
What kind of material is this canvas made out of? I'm concerned. Any thoughts welcomed.
>>2964285oh and set up a negative air containment system with poly sheeting and a fan that blasts that shit into the atmosphere, mother natures landfill.
Its made out of canvas, measure your ductwork, you can go to menards or a supply house and buy a new flex connector if its leaking.
>>2964247good chance it's asbestosasbestos vibration dampners have a high asbestos content, if you are removing it wear a mask with hepa filters, wet it down and clean up any resulting dustalso have its replacement ready because ventilation doesn't work for shit once there's a hole in it
>>2964247when was it put in? if after 1977 it's a good chance it's not asbestos. if before 1977 it's a good chance it is asbestos. but it also might not be.also no one here can tell you what it is.
>>2964247That's a woven nylon duct flex boot fitting
Noob here that needs help identifying the polarity of this capacitor. It's a replacement part for my dryer. pls sars i need de needful
>>2963331>standard motor capacitorsOh yeah, those are around 4 to 12 euros
>>2963228next time ask in ohn, they will point you to an equivalent way cheaper capits just a cap, not something that you need the original brand
>>2964262/ohm/
>>2959332Uhhh... if you cant figure that out on your own, and you dont have access to a multimeter, you probably shouldnt be fucking around with it anyway. Call a repairman before you shock yourself fucking around with mains voltage. AC in north america can kill you and AC in europe WILL kill you if you make a mistake.
>>2959332it's AC nigga
Is i be doing it right?
why would your tea light be frozen in the first place
Hot water, or a water hose if it'll reach. The faster you can get it dry and closed back up the better
>>2965338yeh u beez
>>2965394i was just trying to keep the flam for later.
>>2965338No.It's winter where I live, so...>take out all frozen stuff and put it in a different freezer>take out all refrigerated stuff and put it in a different refrigerator>except for that bottle of mustard from 2018, throw that away>unplug refrigerator>tilt and put towels under refrigerator>wait several hours and deal with the mess of wet towels>take this opportunity to actually wipe down and clean the entire refrigerator>including blowing out the coils>plug the refrigerator back in>fill everything back up
Is it possible to use IR to see people naked with smart glasses? How would I go about doing this? I noticed that some phones can't unlock if you wear reflective hats, so naturally that implies they can see your head shape through a regular cap and regular clothes.
>>2964533Bringing any kind of camera to photograph hot girls outdoors is going to raise suspicion even though they don't know it's for seeing through clothes. I don't see how this is useful in any way unless you somehow manage to strap a huge telephoto lens onto your camera (which also supports IR light) and you have access to a high or faraway location near a place with women. Then you can snipe them from a distance and if anyone is curious just say you're taking scenery pictures.TLDR, too much effort, just go watch porn incel.
>>2964132Get your mind out of the gutter
Boomers had it so good.
>>2964629They have IR blocking glasses now. Kind of the reverse idea, but interesting.
>>2964147>make program that creates ai deep fakes that overlay in real time on your smart glassesand just like that, talking to women is bearable
is there ever gonna be a study for how retarded boomer tradies were? what prevented them from putting this receptacle in the next bay over instead of chopping up what likely was load bearing? this wall i removed was from the 60s, original house was from the 20s. make it make sense to a young buck like me.
>>2965062dude half the screws were not even firmly placed in their carved out pocket. i put in some new cedar and adjusted the box to be flush with the finished wall and its firm as fuck. and no, its true 2 by wood, they didnt use that past around the post war boom and this was done in the early 60s.
>>2965051They added lead because it was a toxic industrial waste they wanted to get rid ofSame reason they dump flouride in the water
>>2965277This. They already knew ethanol wpuld stop knocking for not much more
>>2965051>y-you don't understand we NEED to poison the world because of...patents, yeah that's the ticket!Lead brained boomer, or bot?Organic lead was added to gasoline for the sole and exclusive purpose of retarding the population, hand wave excuses are just that.>knockingEthanol was known to work fine for the purpose, there was no non-malicious reason to add organic lead (which was know at the time to be crazy toxic) to gasoline.>>2965277Organic lead wasn't an industrial waste, it had to be manufactured specifically to add to gasoline. No non-malicious explanation, organic lead was added to gasoline with the explicit intention of retarding the population.
>>2964473Boomers chose the load bearing over the man
>3x the price of their competitor brands>specialise in powered toolsI don't get it, surely they can't be that good?
>>2964811there are like four non chink OEM for sanding paper supplies, Klingspor, VSM, Swarowski and 3M. Everybody else either buys from them or the chinks
>>2961078It's just boutique shit guys who are high earning engineers buy. I'm sure it's well made and high quality, but not made for a job site.
>>2965256it is, but you have to be making good money to afford it. way more durable than the home depot brands. better warranty service too.
>>2965310Which is fine, if you're an actual furniture designer that builds high end stuff or you design furniture for brand names or something.imho warranties are only for overpriced shit, or when you have a fleet of tools for a business.
>>2965317I like their reliability and power for woodworking tools.
Can you cut down a fiberglass handle like this, or is it going to perpetually shed off bits of fiberglass after that?If so, would throwing tape around the handle and some epoxy on the bottom fix the issue, or is it just structurally compromised?
>>2959189If you use a softer abrasive, you increase the risk of fiber pull-out, and your cut won't be as clean.
>>2959203How many adzes have a multi pound hammer head attached?
>>2961216There are plenty of heavy adzes. Since every woodworking tool worth making has already been made down the millennia, what does one gain by shortening the handle thus reducing its effectiveness? What is a hammer/adze supposed to do better than optimal separate tools? A hammer head makes for a short blade by the time all that material is removed. An adze style pick axe would be easy to mod using a cutting disk to lop off the pick then (slowly with frequent cooling) trim and contour the blade. A duckbill tire hammer could make the ultimate heavy adze, far better than a little modded cross-pein.
>>2962351>A duckbill tire hammer could make the ultimate heavy adze, far better than a little modded cross-pein.Now this at least makes sense. Good thinking anon.
>>2961216You ever get this done? Or were you just spitballing stupid ideas again?
should I buy a chinese excavator ?they are so cheap
>>2959708>Are you thinking about buying one? They are pretty handy if you have property.I'm the anon that was at the auction a couple weeks back. The small one cylinder ones brought 1700-1900 bucks. I do have property, but honestly they are way too small for anything I'd want to do with them. Already have a smallish trencher with a backhoe on it for digging in tight places and trenching. >>2962752>I bought mine last month for about 5k but its not the super cheap model>This week I watched a bunch of one cylinder ones go for as low as 2k>I almost bought one just on principle. Same. Good thing the auction was a couple weeks back and I really have much disposable income at the time. If it was this week or next I probably would have stupidly bought one just to fuck around with.
spent a few hours in a hitachi magic wand 135 zero tail this weekend that a neighbor picked up. wasnt that impressed. the pilots lagged really bad and its looser than a 2 dolla hore. but it had 9k hrs on the meter so it wasnt unexpectedhad good reach for the size and decent power but felt slow on the hydraulics. not ass tippy either which was surprising. i see they have a blade option thats almost as big as a bladerunner which would be slick. have to look and see if its the same undercarriage framehe paid a buck a pound for it
>>2965111>hitachi magic wand 135Grok says thats a dildo
>>2950243But the block will rust after sitting for awhile and lock up
>>2953082They're common engines so you can swap them out fairly easily if you really break it somehow
