WHat musical instruments can I build especially on the cheap?
>>2800354Someone was making the point that the body of an electrical guitar, unlike an acoustic guitar, doesn't matter as long as it can support the components. He wasn't giving detailed instructions on how to build a guitar.In other words, there's a dumbfuck in this thread, for damn sure, but it's not that guy. Guess who it is.
>>2800366>making the point that the body of an electrical guitar, unlike an acoustic guitar, doesn't matter as long as it can support the components. That "point" was not made at all, no mention whatsoever of acoustic vs electric guitars or support of components, you just pulled all of that out of your ass. And again, no mention of the one component mounted to a guitar body where that "support" is critical to the whole thing working.>In other words, there's a dumbfuck in this thread, for damn sure, but it's not that guy. Guess who it is.You, for being the seething retard defending a moronic post that saw fit to mention needing a "plug" but never mentioned THE single most important and complicated part of building a functional guitar, whether it's electric or acoustic.You still don't even know what part I'm talking about, do you? LMAO
>>2800368ntaEveryone knows you're talking about the frets.I agree with everything you've said but you're still an insatiable fucking faggot.
>>2800428Well to be precise I guess you're hinting at the neck as a whole; frets and truss rod and all.Faggot.

- you can collect your own water- you can grow your own food- you can produce your own energySo why are internet contracts necessary? You can tune into radio for free so how come there's no antenna device that pulls free internet from the air in a similar manner?
>>2800263>google it>dont necro old threads>use the searchThen wonder why forums die into dead sites.
>>2790879>>2790890just get some repeaters with solar panels and attach them all around your place; you'll have access to all the networks pingable by that net. Latency will be bad obviously, but it'll be free.
>>2790879Find nearest café or other business offering free wifiBuy a wifi router, a couple of extreme long-range wifi access points, and a hi-vis vest. Put on hi-vis, set up router and one wifi antenna on roof of business offering free wifi, claim to be from government agency just setting up something to measure air pollution if anybody asks. Make router connect to wifi using its own antenna, connect with wire to long-range AP, go home and set up other long-range AP, you now have contract-free internet.Depending on how off-grid you are, you might need a few more relays inbetween. I think Linus Tech Tips showed off 10km wifi like 5 years ago.
>>2800263>>2800302Cope harder.
>>2790890your best bet is to get something like this and just steal free wifi from someonehttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005993407926.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller.207.1762BX0mBX0mBg&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40000.326746.0&scm_id=1007.40000.326746.0&scm-url=1007.40000.326746.0&pvid=e0c39b58-9adc-4f1b-a134-62b25a69e380&_t=gps-id:pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40000.326746.0,pvid:e0c39b58-9adc-4f1b-a134-62b25a69e380,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238107%2362&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!58.42!7.17!!!271.34!33.31!%402103205117120329824794324e4d4b!12000035216064834!rec!AU!!AB&utparam-url=scene%3ApcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller%7Cquery_from%3A

>>2799042You can run grazing animals, but do it with paddocks and move them everyday. Moving is easy when they know there's fresh stuff in the next paddock over. Issue is cost of fencing, I would think.There's tons more info online. That carboncowboys youtube channel is covering it pretty well.Moving them daily eliminates so many issues. Worming. Vet bills. Health etc.
>>2800905yes i do want to do this in the futurebut i am currently building infrastrucutreand this is hard workit took 5 months to build my cabin and patioi have fencing but to fence a ton is a huge undertaking so i need some time to do thatmy main thingis immediate small cash that i can use to live onei only need a few hundred a monthand need be somthing that is very smalli have started sellling furniture Comment too long.

>drive around>still see a sewing machine repair store and a vacuum cleaner store aroundWhy did those survive disposable appliances but not TV and other repair stores?
>>2800620this, just money laundering operations
>>2800985cleaning the carb should be $60. A new carb is like $23.
>>2800967I'm not sure why you're arguing with me when we seem to be in agreement. Solid state means not vacuum tubes. Analog solid state electronics in particular would often need re-calibration by repairmen over their lifetime. As the capacitor in a TV's LC RF tuner drifts it stops picking up channels as cleanly because the frequency it's tuning to is slightly off. Manufacturers knew this, added lots of internal calibration potentiometers, and wrote service manuals. Digital electronics are much more tolerant of component values drifting over time. A serviceman coming to re calibrate things stopped being a thing.
>>2801031>I'm not sure why you're arguing with meNo argument here. Just some friendly bantz is all. But I do stand by my original point that solid-state electronics doesn't need more maintenance than, e.g., a vacuum-tube whatever from 1972. The shit can and often does work perfectly for years or even decades without any human intervention.>would often need re-calibration by repairmen over their lifetimeYes and no. I'm not saying it never happens, only that it's beyond rare in anything made since the 80s. I see plenty of stuff older than me that still has the inspector's lacquer on the pots.
>>2800877I’ve met older women whose Kirby’s outlived their husbands, and they treat them like some guy who still has his ‘67 mustang or whatever. They made an emotional as well as financial investment in it years ago, and by god they will keep it running. Sewing machines need to be tuned and fixed, it’s a really precise machine.>>2800849Every major area has its R2R guys who repair them. When the time comes get on audiokarma and ask around. What will suck with the teac is when one of the channels goes, and the transistor or whatever you need to replace is buried balls deep in the middle of the thing. I had a nice teac I just sold for nearly nothing, just to free up space. It had been serviced just a few years ago, but fixing the right channel issue was just too goddamn much work.
does this really work in america? i need to resupply my workshop, what are the best cities to do it?
>>2800908They do, but store clerks are ever slightly more intimidated by the a hoodlum black over a scrawny white methhead.
>>2800908>Do you think that white meth heads don't steal stuff?they don't get a free "get out of jail" card
eBay is full of stolen tools.
>>2800914So there are a higher percentage of blacks in jail, but that's because they all have a "get out of jail" card? What are you trying to say?
I don't understand why you have to pay for things. Why can't you just walk in a big shop and walk out with power tools for free? The big companies make billions
Anyone build anything with concrete bags?I really want a castle
>>2800906If that's some sort of kiddie attraction it's almost ok, but I pity the rich fuck who thought that was a good way to impress losers.
>>2800921It's in a Kentucky city named Versailles, which is even sadder. And I bet you a dime to a dollar the local fucks pronounce it the way it's spelled. I live near Durham NC, and there's a little place called Bahama, which everyone pronounces bah-hay-ma, and another neighborhood named Hayti, which was their attempt at spelling Haiti, and you guessed it: hay-tie.Which reminds me. That hilarious line in Clueless where she does a report on the hay-tians wasn't written like that, but Alicia Silverstone was retarded and it was so funny they left it in.
>>2800926Wait until you find out how New Yorkers pronounce Houston street
what is it with burger and building atrocities like these >>2800906>>2800640 (and OP)? Is it because theres no real castles around? >>2800926kekI've got a hard time not pronouncing it french. Fer-say-lees?
>>2800965Ver-sailsIMO it would be way more fucked if Kentuckians said it the French way. They're down to earth red blooded, welcoming but unpretentious Americans out here. With a smoking problem.
how fucked is this? the house was previously a small cabin that the previous owner (who was a union carpenter) built a large addition to & turned into an actual house. this was his build after opening up the exterior wall & adding a horizontal 2x4 to the old top plate and a fuck ton of 2x8 lumber on the other side, creating a cluster fuck of a beam. held up by an out of level adjustable jack post. it's sagging towards the center of the horizontal 2x4, is there anyway I can unfuck this without getting squashed, or getting fucked in the ass by contractors & permitting? based on the age of the wood on the addition, I'd hazard a guess it was built 30-40 years ago
>>2800806it's actually got ceiling joists & roof rafters sitting on it.>>2800875I think this is probably the most least involved thing to do to make it 100%
Box in the header and finish it pussy
>>2800787>out of level screw jackwhat matters is if everything else is back to level. also it looks like he committed removal of a supporting wall. if it really bothers you you can just put a screw jack next to it and remove or straighten that one. get the correct height while you are at it.the 2x4 sag in the middle depends on if it's just the 2x4 or if it's structural above pushing it down. use your spare jack to straighten it and then idk bolt some L bracket down the side.
>>2800934
>>2800778That 2x4 is not holding shit, I'd probably just send some screws up and to make it not sag. The beams look fine. Leave it be.
there's this metal cable that I'm sure is what let's electricity travel through the house. there's no power in three rooms out of 4 in the 2nd level of my house. I tried taping the cable to the wall but it won't stick. what should i do?
>>2800145it can kill you
>>2800007Do you squat in a condemned building?
>>2800533so figure out where the 3 rooms split off from the rest, that's the junction box where the problem is. then fuck with white side to see if the wire ends are apart. the white side shouldn't hurt anything if it gets fucked up - the black is hot and you don't want to touch metal or the white side when fucking with black.if things are on in the three rooms that are dead (e.g. the lights or a fan switched on) then fucking with the wires might cause them to spark. ideally turn everything off, but don't be surprised if there is some draw and it sparks when you're fucking with the blacks. ideally there will either be a clear visual problem with the white or black side or fucking with the white side will fix it.
>>2800533also it looks like all your outlets would be two slots, no 3rd hole. if that's not the case there is a cheap tester you can use to help diagnose what is fucked.
>>2800145>>2800962the 1800s were fucking based. they had live electricity in table cloths so you could just place lamps and shit. none of this fucking gfci pussy shit, you could legit kys with a toaster in the tub if you didn't die from the exposed wires everywhere first.
and now you know.
>>2795872Perfect, thanks for the tip OP
>>2797445source of that image: https://crestresearch.ac.uk/resources/mining-the-chans/why would "they" want to disrupt a DIY forum?
>>2800844Because they’re fundamentally stupid, and can’t get jobs or run legitimate business.So they make up imaginary issues so they can “solve” the imaginary problem.Probably a good 30% of the population does this.

>Do you even melt, bro?I did my first casting today, I'm totally a foundryman now. My first two melts earlier in the week I made some ingots, just melting soda cans. >>2783890Yesterday I made my first flask from a spare fencepost, and some greensand from sifted playsand and a mix of sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite. Yard marking calcium carbonate as parting powder, worked great. Designed a little ashtray in Fusion360 and turned it into a pattern. I did a pretty bad job but I was impatient and really wanted everything ready to do this casting today. Rammed up fine, might've been a little dry, but just barely. Worked out okay though, very happy with the result after a brief cleanup.Do you scrap? Stack? Do you sell signs on Etsy? Do you sand cast? Investment casting? Do you like huffing zinc fumes and snorting silica powder? Show me your furnace, show me your castings.Sand and jpeg compression don't get along.
That's some nastiness, but nothing a file won't solve in short order. Once the sides are smoothed out I'll jig it up on the drill press and get everything finished out.
I want to cast a titanium ring in my backyard. Something simple, with no intricate patterning or anything. But I understand it's incredibly difficult to get it to melt, let alone get any feedstock. What am I in for?
>>2800976>What am I in for?Failure. Ti has a higher mp than iron, you'd either need to build an arc furnace or an induction furnace to reach the required temps

noticed the sewing thread was gone and i wish to discuss it
>>2797966Always cut in a single layer and draw/trace out the cutting line. Serrated sewing scissors can help too. Some people swear by rotary cutters but I don't like them personally. I use oaktag for pattern pieces. I lay them out with pattern weights (stacked big metal washers), trace the edges with a ballpoint pen, draw in the seam allowance freehand then cut with regular sewing scissors.
>>2797966Had to go dig out a picture. It's really important with any napped fabric that you cut in a single layer, back side up, especially with high pile stuff, like faux fur, for best accuracy. Typical Minky is 3mm, so you don't need to use an Xacto to cut it, since it lays flat, but if you work with faux fur, that's the best bet. Picrel is traced out pieces with the pen I use, and then I cut with regular sewing shears.
Is Adobe Acrobat PDF the only way to get properly scaled oversized patterns onto A4 pages with its poster print option?
>>2800294I've never used it, but the first thing I thought of was Matthias Wandel's "BigPrint".If you're not familiar, he's an autistic Canadian woodworker, used to be an engineer at RIM (Blackberry phones).https://woodgears.ca/bigprint/He uses it to print scale templates that can be glued to a piece of plywood, then cut out on a bandsaw/with a router.
>>2800294free version of PDF-XChange Viewer is another option
My wife managed to lose and run over the gas filler cap (don't ask me).I've got an older model and I can't find a replacement from the manufacturer. I closed it ot off with aluminum foil for now in hopes that all the gas doesn't evaporate, but i need a longer term solution.
>>2798718>thats incredibly dumb or careless. Or both.>Surely its all about the same though. Maybe try a big piece of cork that you stuff into the hole.Is that for his wife or his lawnmower?
>>2798969Your wife is retarded.> but it doesn't have a holeMake one.> but it doesn't have a gasketsheet of cork, cut one.
Also, there's nothing worse than women for abusing lawn equipment. Either they can't get it to run (gas) or they use it to abuse the hell out of it and everything else (electric).NEVER loan your tools to a woman unless she wears flannel and looks like a frumpy trucker.You had a special bond w your grandpappy, and now you broke it.
>>2798936I know where you can find a cap OP. If that's really your mower and not a pic from the internet, then the cap can be located as indicated. You are welcome, nice bait.

My bathtub has a hole in it, and I'm trying to fix it. A big chunk broke off, but it fits perfectly in the hole. I don't have access to the bottom of it, so I've glued a handle to the big chunk and am trying to pull it while having applied some bathtub acrylic fixer on the sides beforehand.Any suggestions?
>>2800777lighten up baby gurl. he had a broken thing and he fixed it. which part of that flew over your nappy head.
>>2800777>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T DIY HERE!!!!Go back to a thread dedicated to consuming you faggot...
>>2800703I suggest sanding it afterwards and painting it if you can find a small amount
>>2800780you missed the point. OP asked for advice but then just fixed it. so what was the point of asking for advice. can you even read?
Oh look this again
