Like this but into wood

Even if they would, get some screw eyes instead so your stuff won't slip out.

>>1237442
I want them easily removable. I won't be swinging on them anyway, the hook is plenty

Can you explain this to me in woodworking speak?

>>1237406
Well fusion doesn't want to chooch.
The gcode I can export for a lathe is written only for haas, tormach or other high-end machines, but I can't use it since it's not written in a manner that the machine I have can understand.
She wants kosy synthax, but fusion can't do that out of the box it looks like.

>>1237408
Still not getting it, try replacing some of your words with "woodglue"

Give it back Jamal

Aside from /pol/ shit, anything interesting?

it has a GPS in it dickhead they're probably driving to your location right now

Bumping with my battery haul off ebay. Gonna build a powerbank like the Anker Powerhouse. Can't afford a nice pure sine wave inverter so I'm looking at plans to build my own. I already fried one AC laptop charger with a cheap modified sine wave inverter, they may work for most things but it's not worth the risk.

>>1236951
Dell can tell. Maybe it's a case of www.google.com/search?q=dell+laptop+adapter+not+recognized

>>1236974
Thanks for the input.
>www.google.com/search?q=dell+laptop+adapter+not+recognized
Pretty sure that's a separate and much less worrisome problem. It shouldn't cause my capacitors to squeel or cause the power to cut out like it is doing. Since my charger isn't identifying itself through the center pin onewire protocol, the laptop won't charge the battery, but it will run itself from the charger, which is good enough for me. I'm looking into either spoofing the signal (it's been done and the code is out there) or just pulling out the onewire chip from an old dell charger and putting it in my adapter.

I've only taken basic electronics but I'm guessing the boost converter is putting out a noisy signal, or something weird like that. Wondering if I can filter it or if I should buy a nicer boost converter.

Take a piece of angle or flat stock or whatever, drill holes in it that are the correct distance apart and the same size as your bolt, and weld the head of the bolt to the bar.

U bolts

Sure, milk no sugar, ta.

I just had mine. Feels good man.

if you got tetley i'll have two and coo. thank you please

Make the blades so they cant hurt someone on impact.

Allow for trim controls on blade and generator mount.

Allow for rotation of generator mount.

Allow blades to be taken out of the stream if necessary.

Consider a brake. Or 2.

Think "super strut" from Thomas and Betts when considering material.

>>1236511
They're all shit and it's only worth making really big turbines. Vertical are a meme, horizontal should be easier to make. Make a micro hydro power plant instead if you can, buy solar panels from China otherwise.

Go to fieldlines site and read for a few days.

>What specific skills

all of them

>>1236489
Bump because I want to know also. I didn't know you could get kits.

Depends on the kit.
made from wood? --> woodwörking skills are needed.
made from aluminimumumumum? How the fuck do I weld and rivet and stuff

Does it have an engine? yes, so know about engines in general and electronics that are required to run it.

Avionics---> read all of the stuff you can find. google is helpful as always..

Breaker as in over current or RCD?

>>1235231
Ovens are 220 and are generally on their own circuit. It is quite possible that you kitchen shares a breaker with other parts of the house.

>>1235240
Toaster ovens are countertop-sized devices that plug into standard household plugs and run on whatever the household current is.

>>1235231
Different breaker sensitivities combined with some other wiring fault like cross-connected branch circuits.

>So I failed university
Okay.

>now I'm looking for a... career.
Uhh.

>construction
Warning, warning.

>and good paid of course
Danger!

>doesn't require a 4 year apprenticeship
ABORT ABORT

Haha, yeah, nah. Construction is feast or famine. You can work solidly for several years and then not be able to get a job at all for months or even years at a time. Also, you are broken down and useless by the time you are 50. Unless you put away for retirement or somehow transition into the business side (which you said you don't want), you end up working in a Lowes making $8.50 until the day you die because social security doesn't cover shit (and was never meant to).

All the other semi-skills technical stuff either does the same shit (breaks you down by your 50's) or is a prime target for automation. You might get 10 or even 20 years out of it but the robots are coming to my friend. Any job that doesn't require a degree and pays well is on the chopping block.

if you have no soul, you can work in HVAC and lie to the customer to get whole units replaced for commision. i watched a kid make 130k this way.

>>1235163

Thanks for that, cheered me up.

>>1235212

What's the way into HVAC? Got any idea for the UK side of things?

And arcade joystick is just a stick that trips 4 momentary switches. You can definitely just replace it with 4 regular push-button switches.

Consider looking up a hitbox controller, that's essentially an arcade stick with no stick, so you could probably buy one somewhere too if you wanted

>>1234815
>>1234851
Exactly this
>>1234853
Disregard this, this isn't /buy/
But yeah, the joystick is basically just 4 buttons wired in a certain way. If your control board has 4 spare places, then you could just wire 4 buttons of your choice, maybe 25mm arcade buttons or cherry mechanicals in correct places and that would be all.

another way is to have several concentric switch contacts, so that the harder you push the button, the more contacts are made.

couldnt find a pic so you'll have to imagine concentric rather than side-by-side as in my pic.

You're putting together the best setup you can for your electronics hobby. What are the gadgets and products you get?

Another way to do variable pressure is a resistive pad on the board + a dome shaped contact on the button, as used on Playstation 2+ controllers

Get a wider belt.

And retain a lawyer because using those cuffs to detain someone is going to be more trouble than it's worth.

A 12 gauge makes a great lockpick.

>>1233639
Lockpicking works. It's not crazy difficult to learn either. You probably have some unrealistic expectations on how well it works though. If you're looking to use it for anything illegal, it's not some 5 second ninja silent way or opening a locked door. In general, with manual only tools, it's either relatively quick and very loud, or relatively quiet and very slow.

>>1233639
That's exactly how I did it. Cheap picks because there's really no advantage in expensive ones, then read something about it. The only reason people think lock picking is difficult is because they have never looked into it.
