This is what i'm working with. Looks like the boards are stapled in place, if there's glue i'm not seeing any runoffs.
Who does that?? And how is it so fucking sturdy?!

So yeah. How do i dismantle a side without leaving visible damage?

Thanks best board.

are you slow? pull the staples out?

Find Mrpete222, also known as Tubalcain, on YouTube. He has videos specifically addressing what you're asking. He's talking about buying used lathes if it matters, but you'll probably find a better used one than a current production one, for less money.

>>1196022 There are a lot of different things to consider when buying a lathe.

1) What size diameter are the part's you plan on making.

2)What type of metal do you intend to use Brass, Aluminium, Steel or something else.

3)What types of machining do you intend on doing.

If you are just looking for something that will be able to do most things what you want is something like a 6ft bed 6" 3 jaw chuck student lathe (if you can pick up a Colchester Student that would be ideal).

When you inspect the lathe go in the headstock and check the wear and feel of all the gears in every speed, ask how much backlash there is on the handles, check if the threading gears work also make sure the automatic cross-feeds are both working ( x + z) ensure that the Emergency stops all work, see if the coolant pump works too that's always nice.

If you can get some free stuff thrown in that would be great, ideally you want both a 3 and 4 jaw chuck.

1. I don't see myself going much larger than a couple inches in anything but plastics.

2. Probably all of the above at some point plus plastics and small diameter titanium. I was under the impression that it was more the tooling and speed/feed that affected performance in different materials, is there more to consider?

3. Threading is very important to the projects that I'd like to do so power feed is a must.

i can't answer your question but i can give you a curious anecdote from UK regulations last time i checked you don't have to derate wiring run together if they are part of the same circuit. which to me seems retarded.

if its 3 phase how much do you expect the neutral to carry? if it is anything then is a conductor so i guess you count it. if nothing then why put it there?

i tried to look at the code you said but i gave up when i saw "ampacity" fucking hell.

>>1195719
the problem with the nec, that it is left to the inspector to interpret it how they want to. so you can end up with 2 inspectors, giving you totally different answers, if you know who the inspecror is, ask them.

Just from a professional stand point don't share neutrals. Break your self of the habit and you will have less problems down the line.id also run 2 1in or 3 3/4. Just to make it easier on yourself and leave some wiggle room in the conduit. What are you running the circuits for? 277 or 120?

Paving the driveway would be cheaper than both the walls and the culvert and would solve the erosion problem as well.

You need to think long-term maintenance as well. If you're having erosion problems that means your culvert will need to be cleaned out. If you don't put the proper time, effort, and funds into a wall it will fail on you.

>>1195292
Thank you for your input. The driveway is the thing that is mostly eroding. The rolling hills sometimes erode, but that's on my neighbors land. Those eroding hills sometimes deposit sediment in our ditch, which builds up over time and becomes an issue. Preventing that sediment would be the job of the retaining wall, but perhaps I would need something else to manage that issue.

I'll probably have to hire someone for a consultation due to the complexity of this problem, but that wouldn't be the end of the world.

>>1195331

I would fill in the ditch and let the stormwater sheet flow across the driveway, unless the topography is causing the flow to concentrate at a few points and/or you live in an area where temps fall below freezing for a significant portion of the year.

If you are still concerned about your neighbor's erosion you may want to Google permanent sediment control devices. You would need a linear device, not one that covers an area. I can't think of one off the top of my head but if I think of one I will come back and post.

>over 9k hours in MSPaint

Why do you need a siphon when the tank is above the planters?

>>1194888
lol you're right. Just to overcomplicate it I guess

Yes, but you only need a container of water and a cotton wick (rope). Just put the wick through piping when it is above ground. You can use lots of wicks to various locations, directly to the plant base.

There's also a system called "Ollas Irrigation". It uses a terracotta pot, buried in the ground near the plants. You just fill it up as needed.

mow down the other vegetation around the fence and burn it out.
should turn out fine.

>Dig hole near base of fence
>Cut off roots
>Lift out left overs
>Replace soil

No fire pls

Sound idea! Thanks, anon.

pine/fir will be cheapest by a long shot. Not sure anywhere will sell anything else...

where can I go to get HVAC parts without being EPA or HVAC Certified? There are some online retailers, but I still feel like they are gouging me.

i like working with wood

i usually work with metal


my dick is getting hard thinking about cutting some 2x8's tommrow with my makita circular

for anyone with things "flowing out of them" and "feelings", there is always etsy and pinterest and ruining beautiful furniture with pastel milk paint

for men, get yourself an axe and some logs, and repress some stuff

>>1192111
On a serious note, I do put a great deal of passion into "real" woodworking, doing nice cuts, precision joinery, applying rich stains and endless coats of lustrous finishes.

Most of the time, I'm getting on with it like a man. But sometimes...

I feel.

>>1196618
Remove the wallpaper before you paint.

>>1196620
But then I'd have to hire someone to spackle the entire room, I was hoping I could avoid by quickly painting over the wallpaper

>>1196622
>hire
You can do that by yourself.
The main question here is whether you want nice-looking results or something crappy.

Unscrew the lock and figure it out you fucking potato!!

try with another key to make sure it is not the lock
changing the lock first saves time though

>>1196086
>the key wont get out when locked
turn the key back to the position it was in when you inserted it.

>>1195739
>do these work in humid areas?
Really?

>>1195750
i guess it works until the ice starts to melt and you get condensation making the heat worse?

>>1195757
The ice is in closed bottles anyway, so if it melts, it won't evaporate into the air. Whatever condensation builds up inside, was extracted from the air anyway.

You're retarded, just buy a pre made storm shelter or:
>Get somebody to check your soil
>Hire an excavator and dig your hole
>Get somebody to pour the concrete for the floors
>Build walls out of cinder, that's been reinforced with rebar and concrete
>Get professionals to sort out the ceiling and entrance
>Get professionals to sort out ventilation
>Have a single bed and lots of shelves
>Use your shelf space wisely (meaning only 1-2 guns that permanently live in the bunker)
>Never use it

>>1195524
>Am I retarded
>I'm planning to build a bunker

pick one

>>1195530
could cinder survive being buried under 3 meters or earth?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It cannot be built with a hammer, therefore it is not diy and you need to leave.

>>1194451
I did build one, when I was in Cubs...I might have been 7 or 8 years old...so about 45 odd years ago...

>>1194459
liar, everyone knows the dads do at least 80% of the work.
