what's your favorite thing ya did yourself?literally any project
true
>>2861751built a generator from an old gas weed wacker, wheelchair DC motor, and various other parts. the hardest part was coming up with an engine governor that reacted to output voltage of the motor. I found a programmable servo controller to do that.it only outputs about 14 volts at 7 amps but I did it just because. I seem to be the only person that has built a generator like this and did it without using a genset governor and related equipment which which cost several hundred dollars.The great thing about this is that because the generator uses a DC motor it can be used to start the engine.
>>2861921this is the most diy thing i’ve ever seen
>>2861921I'm jealous, that's delightful. I may have to do my own.
work in progress but my grow room is coming along nicely
>>2861963SMOKE WEED ERYDEY
>>2861921So what are you doing with it? Jump starting cars? Charging a battery bank? How many watts do you get out of that 2-smoke?I still like my shoe rack because it ended up better built and looking just as nice as any piece of crap flat pack shoe rack I could buy at Ikea.
Converted my hand-crank honey extractor to electric using welding machine parts>whybecause the board and motor were free to me. It uses a 24vdc worm reduction motor and a wire feeder PCB from a MIG welding machine. The timing pulleys I bought and paid to get bored to fit the extractors input shaft and the motor shaft. There is a little wired remote pendant that has the on/off switch and speed control. Electric honey extractors are thousands of dollars, even the 2 - 4 frame ones. They use AC induction motors and speed control via VFD. Stupidly expensive. I made this for less than $200 not including the extractor which I already had. I can set it going and walk away, it really is bliss.
>>2861997>So what are you doing with it?nothing. proof of concept. "they" said it couldn't be done.
>>2861997>How many watts do you get out of that 2-smoke?14x7=98
>>2861923>I may have to do my own.the secret word is pololu
>>2861963looks cool. i had a few grows i made a 2x2 tent using pvc covered with panda film and a 400w hps.
>>2861963White mylar sheeting reflects light without refraction, unlike metallic stuff. Also a fan will make your plants have to put more energy into stems to stay upright, reducing the amount of energy that can go into flowering. You should be using SCroG method.
slide out surface for camping etcmade from scraps and a couple 500lb Vevor locking drawer slides that I got on sale. A pleasure to use even though it's basically just a table. Flat surfaces are a rarity in the woods
>>2862026It's so tiny! I grew up around Mexican apiarists, the only honey extractors I've played with held 40-60 frames and were driven by bike pedals, and those were the small ones. The big one was the hydraulic ram one guy nearby had, scary machine, but it must have held 120-150 frames.>>2862377Nicely done, anon.
>>2862367how did plants ever grow without humans...
>>2861751This worktable is probably my current favorite, because it's just - junk. And useful. And free. All this stuff was being thrown out, at work.>rolling server rack, good for absolutely nothing>decade-old mini PC. i3/8GB Ram - useless>monitor with a bad power jack>speakers with a broken cableAn hour of work, to add another Ram card, fix the broken connectors and assemble the server rack. Another hour to cut up a piece of junk wood, sand it, drill it and bolt it down. It's useful as hell, as a combination utube-watching station, radio and mobile workbench, that I can wheel into the driveway, or all around the garage.
>>2861751I took an old dresser and made it over into something completely unrecognizable from the original, which took a whole lot of care using a saw, an electric sander, about a gallon of darkly tinted polyurethane, half that much of titanium white, and even dioxazine purple tinted latex to balance the color of the internal light that came on when one of the top drawers was opened, and finally a lock rather elaborately linked to the top two drawers, and simple bronze drawer pulls in the middle of each Never had any use for the lock, and cut the cord to the internal light years ago. But it's still a wonderful piece of work, compact for its capacity, attractive in the way that very slightly melted Nestle chips are, useful everyday, and neither Western nor Oriental in its overall look.
>>2861751Super out of my comfort zone, and I didn't enjoy the process very much, but I'm amazed how good the final product is.
>>2862432I only have <15 hives at any one time and they don't all produce honey at the same time. Most I've had to extract is 40-50 full depth frames in a weekend. 4 Frame extractor is plenty.
>>2862685That's sweet anon, I'm jealous.
>>2862677looks nice
>>2861751homemade fleshlight
>>2862677why is the light so low
>>2863302Imagine it's the 1800s, and instead of a bright modern lightbulb it's just a little shelf there with a candle your wife lights in the evenings so you can find the knob when you stumble home drunk in the middle of the night. Now imagine it's the 1960s, you're drunk and fucked up on quaaludes, and your drafting up some new electrical codes. You realize that most of the homes in your east-coast home town have a light by the front door that's only 5ft-6ft from the ground. Guess what the electrical code often calls for in the US, especially in east-coast states? Porch-lights mounted on a wall adjacent to the front door must position the bulb 60"-72" from the ground. Enjoy your shit-tier history lesson.
>>2863305porch lights are pure boomer jewry. fuck assholes that burn them all night for no fucking reason. i want to be able to see the stars and not eye rape every bird and bat thats out eating bugs that would otherwise be biting me. having your porch light on doesnt prevent crime either. if anything it makes it easier for feral niggers and meth heads to see what theyre doing and if you live in some shithole where thats a problem you should be planning to move anyways
>>2863314I leave mine on until 2am and live in a gated community. Enjoy your eyerape and fuck bats.
>>2862079Some of mankind’s best projects have been done in a resentful act towards “them”. I approve.
>>2861751- Built a soundproof room in the workshop- "Built" (3d printed) and painted a piano figurine for my toddler which she loved
>>2863302Homeowner liked the height. Just used existing wiring
>>2861751Minecraft torch 3d printed with some flickering leds for the kiddos is probably my favorite because minimum effort. Tried 555 timer and a battery but 9volt only lasted a couple nights even with only 45 min on. Now it’s just got a usb plug and runs off the wall.
>>2862581>how did plants ever grow without humans...outside lol
>>2861751I carved some crack spoons, they look pretty good.
>>2862367I've been doing this a long time bud lol you sound silly
>>2861751I did this for an architecture subject during lockdown. "Make a 3D model of any iconic structures" lol
