I bought a couple of cels and a background at a collectibles mall in Tokyo.I understand these things were used in production and not designed to last/be lightfast. Basically have any sort of Archival properties.I also understand you can frame them normally as you would a normal painting as the material is cellulose and degrades into acid.Anyone here have some DIY experience with preserving and displaying these things? I really don't want to just horde them in a dark box.
>>2961705Also I wanted to add there are specialty frame makers for cels. But they are giga kike levels of expensive. I also live in Japan so the cost to import is high and theres good diy hardware stores here already.Examplehttps://celoasis.com/index.php/product-category/frame-kits/
>>2961705I'd look into film archiving if I were you.From what I know (and (you) have mentioned), it seems cellulose acetate autocatialiticaly degrades into vinegar, I've heard that keeping it away from light heat and moisture is good at delaying it.So keep them in an air tight, light tight box in your freezer. Also to prevent warping keep them upright.If they start to smell like vinegar then they are going to degrade and there's nothing you can do.
>>2961705Those are some prime GTO cels.

>>2956068>I popped 2 hosesI was using my Kubota ~15 miles from home clearing land. A hose broke and I almost didn't get back on the trailer before fluid was gone.When I got back home I took all hoses off and went to NAPA and had all new hoses made.Three years and no problems since.
>>2959972this reminds me of a time I was on a survey crew and we were smoke testing sewer pipes and we wandered way up this fuckin guys gravel driveway and this fucking bill dale boomhaur fucking squad of hicks showed up asking what we were doing, our guy was explaing to them that we were looking for a sewer pipe and the city map said there was one that was supposed to run up somewhere around his property.shit head had got the metal detector out and found something running straight across his driveway and one of the hicks up on this hill said hey hey hey, I can use my PERSONAL MINI EXCAVATOR to dig this shit up, cause HELL YEAH I FINALLY GET TO USE THIS THING.he started digging the fucking driveway up and after like maybe 3 ft deep he started scraping a pipe. we all were scratching our heads till the foreman started raising hell because he believed it was a gas pipe, ordered the hick to bury it and said to hell with this shit fuck that damn sewer pipe it can remain lost.
>>2963020i guarantee those guys went back and dig it up after you left just becauseback in my juvenile days i worked for a farmer and his warehouse yard was split in two by the railroad. after years of having a hose and extension cord run between the ties he decided to put a sleeve under the tracks. he calls up his old gyppo logger friend stan to help with the excavation. so the day comes and a 40ft stick of 8" sch 40 is procured. we get a big ass hole dug on the pushing side and start shoving with the 320 excavator which wont do it. need more push. stan lived about 2 miles away so he went and got his jd 550 cat to help push.1/2
>>2963164now we know the train runs twice a day. one way a 7am and back south at 11:30pm. so were in no hurry. stan gets his cat and its lunchtime so we stop and eat and hes telling me about this time when he worked for a local town in public works and he was pushing a 2" sleeve under a busy road and it popped out of the ground right in the middle of traffic and what a shitshow that wasso we get back to work. hes in the 320 sitting up on the tracks curling the bucket and im on the 550 shoving against it and were making progress well here comes the fucking train! luckily it only runs about 5mph but hes got the brakes on full and screeching away and stops about 1/2 miles down the track. fuck. then not 5 minutes later here come 3 rr pickups. wtf are guys doing? did you tell anybody about this? luckily the boss was a pretty smooth talker and somehow ironed it all out on the spot without making the national news it always was like that working there
My property is covered in pine cones and I would like to burn them for heat this winter. But my neighbor says that they have a lot of pine tar and will pop and shoot embers, and the tar will clog the chimney. My biology professor says that burning pine cones harms the environment by destroying viable pine seeds. Does anyone here have any experience burning pine cones?
>>2960642My cones are huge and burn for a long time.
>>2960657My cones are too big for you, traveller.
>>2957590Your biology professor has a fursona.
>>2957590I use pine cones for grilling and at times also for heating. I never saw much pine tar, the wood is super dense, and also I never saw any popping or embers shooting. Clogging the chinmeny only happens if you throttle the air intake but that will also happen with plain wood.Summary: your neighbour hasn't a clue.I pick grey pine cones, those are at least one year old, very dry and no pine seeds. Even with fresh cones I see few seeds. In any case, I see a lot of pine saplings everywhere. Sounds like your professor is inventing problems.
>>2957590Most pine is commercially grown and there's too much of it in many areas. An SC governor was lauged at for calling pine a "crop" but it is effectively exactly that.
Why didn't/haven't rear handle circular saws catch on outside of North America? This isn't to argue that they're better or worse, but clearly, a lot of carpenters in North America see advantages, but they're virtually unknown outside of it. Why?
>>2962398do you not understand the concept of lineal footage?>complete 18 foot section of beam>complete 8 foot section of beam>complete 8 foot section of beam>complete 8 foot section of beam>complete 8 foot section of beam>18+8+8+8+8=50>(50$/ft)x(50ft)=$2,500i used to worry about competition from other people but you and your peers are fucking retarded. anyway, doing a room with 50 feet of beams usually is a three day process even if the beams are one day. day one is skirt board (the shit the beams die into on the walls) and doing the sides of the main beam and installing the support and box for the light that is inevitably hung from the central beam, that's about 75 feet of skirt board and that would be $750+$100 for the light support. Second day is the beams which is a $2,500 day. Third day is crown which is going to be 175 feet (beam footagex2+perimeter of room) which will be $1,750. That's $5,100 for 3 days of work. The rooms I am doing now also get V-Joint t&g so that's going to be (16*18)x(12/5)x5=$3,456 which should take 2 days. (area of ceiling, boards are 5 inches wide so to get lineal feet of material you multiply by twelve and then divide by five to go from sqft to lineal feet, then multiply by 5 dollars per lineal foot to get price).there i just taught you how to estimate and how to determine how much you are making on each aspect of the project so when you go day by day you can make sure you are not fucking yourself. for those who can't do math, that's $1,711.20/day which is ~$1,500/day after paying my helper, which is my goal. that's pretty ideal in terms of conditions though, when you do custom work the customer can come in and fuck everything up like changing from paint grade to stain grade and now you have to work backwards and try to make it up by saying the stain grade is more expensive which it will be anyway.

Mostly sewing as other anons said. You won't be patterning which is the hard part of custom plushies. The trick is you sew everything inside out as much as possible. Look up diy dnd dice bags, plushies are just complex bags so that's the closest to a tutorial I can think of.

What are some creative ways to keep your valuables hidden? Anything that can be home made/bought from a store?
>>2962945Yeah, I don't anymore.But that's not the point.It's a great cheap Diversion safe since it's A) a food nobody just "GOES FOR" like cookies B) Is hidden in plain sight in a pantry or cupboardand C) Nobody wants to fuck with in the first place because of the tiny amount of molasses in the bag.(you just keep in in the bag when loading and unloading)
>>2962947>A) a food nobody just "GOES FOR" like cookiesI'v just had a genius idea!Get a can of Surströmming. Should be a rather small can. Get another can or something, of the same diameter, empty it, figure out some kind of hidden opening or something, and mount it to the bottom of the still full surströmming can. Remove the surströmmings label, scan it and adapt it to fit to the new, taller can, something like XXL size, or value pack, or family eddition or something like that.No one will touch a large can of surströmming.And if they do and try to open it from the top, the surströmming will explode into their face. If they run, you won't even need a trained police dog or something to hunt them down, even a human now can follow their smell.
>>2962986Yeeeeaaaaaaahhh...I'm ALMOST with ya.(italics there for CAPS ) But see, THEN you'd have to burn the house down if you ever got robbed to that point.I mean, I GET that it's like the glitter bomb packages they use to LOLCow package pirates, but IDK...I'd be onboard if you could rig it so the can was "bloated", and was filled with something like sterile water and rubber chunks, and the bottom had a screw-off trick bottom, but...I like your Moxie, kid, but back to the Drawing board on this one.

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?
>>2958459Can't you just get an adz and cut down the handle on it? What are you gaining by doing it this way?
>>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.
How do the fuck to use these without it jumping all over?

Adding to the sage advice already in this thread : learn about quadrants. Mentally divide the wheel into quadrants, top, right, bottom, left. The rotation will pull the tool in a different direction in each quadrant. The tool jumps because you are pulling in one direction, then you are moving contact to a different quadrant but can't adjust your pull fast enough. The goal is to not change quadrant.This also applies to flappy discs.

>>2960944This, what are you doing with it? I have one, but really haven't found it to be very useful for much of anything I have done.
Did anyone get anything worthwhile? I barely looked desu. I know there were some deals around but it seems at this point that stores will just use it to try sell off outdated models and none of the actual good stuff ever goes on sale anymore.
lowes is dropping the skil 12v line apparently. The impact driver is a decent little unit and it's $34.99 on their website right now, with battery and USB-C cable + AC adapter. Their batteries charge through a USB-C port and can also be used as power banks for your phone, which is neat. I have the impact & drill already for around the house, don't need another, might be a good pick up for someone tho
>>2961119And you're just happen to be black?
>>2962484They’re dropping flex too, I bought their impact driver sub compact for $49 Battery and charger … included Looking at getting their nailers next
>>2962711they're ditching a lot of power tool brands. Wonder if they're going to get serious with kobalt or bring in another brand to replace them

Has anyone successfully made a doppler radar for measuring bullet speeds using hb100?
OP here. that's quite simple but not challenging enough people have used PC sound card for that too, just an op amp, few IR leds and two photodiodes
>>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 want to make a big ass leather bag but I can't be assed to do iron pricking and saddle stitching and I wondering how easy are these things to use. Is it just a case of not being a retard as you feed in the leather? I want to make shit like Gladstones because of how overpriced some of them are.
>>2958466Honestly man as someone who does leatherwork, there are a ton of resources out there and I would recommend checking the leathercraft reddit & discord. You’ll want an industrial machine with a walking foot, they’re pretty spendy but not terribly difficult to use. I found mine for 700$ on fb marketplace Picrel a bag I made
You dont necessarily NEED a dedicated machine for this. Most older ones from the 80's and earlier have enough power to go through 4 or even 6 layers of rigid leather.
>>2958475I have heard saddle stitch is a lot better than machine lock stitch. I am just concerned tough about the speed that comes with hand stitch and from what I have seen it takes a very long time for hand stitch bag projects. >>2958886Damn that's pretty neat. How long do you think it took to do that start to finish?>>2958916Yeah from what I have seen online there are some half decent old hardcase machines that can do leather. I am just cautious as my mother works with textiles and she has always ran into issues with non-dedicated machines for leather work
I haven't worked with real leather only vinyl so I won't tell you exactly what machine to get for the job, but I will tell you if you have never done any sewing, don't start with a used industrial machine. If you have never sewn before I'd start with an older cast iron singer, not a fixer upper, just one that runs so you can get right to it. Any OG singer should have no problem with thinner leather or vinyl for practice. There's more to sewing than just the stitches, and it would suck buying a $700 used industrial walking foot just to learn you hate pattern drafting and fabric/leather cutting. I've seen it happen too many times with tactical gear that someone buys a $800 used industrial and then learns they can't wrap their head around even making a basic pouch.Industrial machines aren't necessarily hard to use but some will have more tricks than you know what to do with, can be annoying to thread, or only run at zero or mach fuck. Especially annoying with leather because you're making actual holes in the material so it's not an easy undo like woven fabric. But if you've ran a domestic machine before an industrial shouldn't be an issue as long as it runs on 120v and isn't some twin needle giga function Frankenstein. Make things as accessible for yourself as possible starting out because frigging around with tertiary aspects is a frustrating uphill climb
Not leather but has similar properties...Has anyone worked with aluminum-foam sheets? is it possible to cut and sew them?
Started at a warehouse. Back hurts. What's a good back brace and do you have other tips to be able to do this job for years without injury?On-site training in this area is non-existent (despite being a large reputable company)
>>2962762I chose this one because of the metal stays and the removable lumbar pad. You can adjust this one pretty well in all kinds of ways to suit your body.All the braces are kinda similar. Long velcro belts and straps basically. I warn ya though, velcro can get caught on clothing and mess up your shirts. So wearing your best sweat shirt for example could end up having the velco belts mess up the fabric if the latches of the velcro catch that fabric instead of the loop velcro side...I know this from experience.
>>2962762Cool, thanks. I'll probably order that tomorrow.
>>2962762>If you're already in spasmNothing like that, so far. I think it would help me/force me to do proper lifting though and not strain my back way over what I should be doing trying to unload something at a weird angle.
>>2962767You're welcome fellow Leaf!What I like about that design is that you can put a larger gel pack in between your shirt and the brace itself and snug everything up with the Velcro belts. It can be a hot pack or a cold pack depending on how many packs you have on hand. Those temperature packs can help when you're injured or sore. They don't do anything while you're doing your job or work though. But just for pain relief when you're sore. Glad you're not in spasm. But should it happen, wearing a good brace with options for pain relief is the difference between crawling across your floor in agony like a baby that can't walk or walking to the bathroom like a boss. Let us know if you like the brace. I hope it works out for you and your needs. Make sure to size it accordingly to your waist now with some variance for future if your body style changes as you age. Going a bit bigger is better than too small right?
>>2962768Yes, it is a good posture reminder. That is good thinking.
Hello deeayewhy.On a family members property I have a very old school bus that was originally bought by hippies in the 1970s and all the seats were cut out and replaced with a mediocre wooden camper like interior. Complete with a stove and 3 beds. A family member bought it from the hippies in 2000 and then another family member sold off the engine and main drive axel from it, so it will never move again. He filled it with junk and then rats and coons took it over. I shot some and then set out poison against the rest. Then junkies came and partied in it two years ago, and even stole the stove.Now that it's mine I've been taking scrap wood to make a nicer interior while cleaning the shit out of the place. I made a shitty scrap wood frame door and screwgunned a lock on it. I took away some of the shit ass 1970s insulation that was on the windows to let more light in. The "beds" are two small ones going lengthwise in the middle and then a huge rotted frame in the back going horizontally. I plan to just tear all that shit out entirely, and possibly convert the entire back end "master bedroom" are the hippies made into a tiny cot + work space.Maybe you don't necessarily want an immobile school bus in a cold northern forest in the middle of nowhere, but if you had one what would you do with it?
>>2959912But this bus is going to cost (((them))) money.
>>2959828i would convert into a camouflaged bug out van with fake floors that I could use to hide out in when the nuclear holocaust begins in world war 3 and store state licensed firearms and survival gear in
>>2959828>if you had one what would you do with it?I would remove it from the property. Why are you trying to create a small private space on your property?
>>2960347>Why are you trying to create a small private space on your property?This. Privacy means you trying to hide means you doing something illegal means you need to be arrest immediately
