You got to add a shot of uv reactive paint. To show your a pro.
UV leds/blacklight give it that Disney pop. Like that rave house fever dream that is Poohs advernture.

looks like two rows of pins are not printing (see dot matrix printer)

>>1236797

print head is bad. dot matrix printers had this problem. could be a coil for the individual pin in the print head, or the pin is stuck and wont engage

Drop the print head in an ultrasonic cleaner.

what is a clay standard brick about 4 inches?
i was moving/widening a door in a brick wall recently.
propped it, timber lintel out, concrete prestressed in, never laid mortar before but i had a crack at it, made good let it cure.
then i thought brilliant, just have to cut this bit of the wall out under the new lintel and job done.
so, 4 inch brick, i had a 6 inch grinder. piece of piss right? well no. cutting down both sides of the brick i didn't have the depth to go right through. so i made a huge fucking mess for no reason then had to smash them all out with a chisel anyway.
so i guess the moral is make sure you know what you are doing before you make a fool of yourself.
as for your original question, you do what you got to to get it done. but fuck mortaring a door frame, never heard of expanding foam?
plastic packers to level it, screw down to fix, fill gaps with foam for sound/heat insulation, cover with skirt/trim. is what i would go about it.

Always a good idea to ask for advice; it's a form of research. Research is good, especially when you're /diy/ing. However, this is an 18+ site. Come back later.

Been using Vox amplifier fabric lately.

I don't see these in Craigslist to often. Which is to bad. They look like fun projects to then sell to hipsters.

Nice, OP. Thanks for sharing your method. I've desired a nice mid-century console/credenza since I got out of design school but I don't have the space for one right now. Would also be a neat piece of furniture to store old game consoles, maybe hook them up to the stereo.

I'd support the floating roof with steel beams, especially if the existing construction was made poorly.

Be careful OP because jet fuel melts steel beams.

>>1236522
Looks exactly like the new prison building they are constructing...

>it has light bulb receptacles and a power cord
then.. a lamp? Those iron wires are probably supposed to hold a diffuser

>>1236491
To me it looks like a a motion lamp, except it had two spinners and not just one. Maybe it was an early store display.

That shit is generally on level "I got burned, crusty nuggets of some metal - GREAT SUCCESS!".
That is, it's a fun chemistry experiment, but not really a way to produce useful metals at home.

Thermodynamically possible, but then again so is turning diamond into graphite. Depend on how much of an activation barrier there is - not familiar with titanium extractive metallurgy.

Usable metal? Probably be really brittle from nitrogen/carbon/oxygen impurities if this does end up working.

Sounds like fun though. You may want to review safety practices for class D fires if you aren't familiar with those.

>>1236340
chemist here,
you can try it but some problems 2 deal with
>Ti will burn with Oxygen
>The liquid metall is impure with AlxOy, TiO2 and Al

You have a battery pack?
I dunno, power something with it?

The problem isn't the antenna, It's the low power of the adapter. You are limited to this.

You need another adapter to use a more powerful antenna

Take some measurements of your antenna anon.

What the fuck are you even asking? You could make a parabolic reflector on a single axis, but you'd need to do some calculations on your frequency and current antenna design.

Cut whole in spaghetti strainer. Put this through spaghetti strainer hole. Bend end of anetena so it points at the strainer. Profit.

Gold bond foot powder spray. Works like a charm on the shoes and your feet. Get the light blue bottle. Shaq likes it, so why the fuck not? I use it on my work boots and they don't smell at all.

Just put them in the sun or throw a shit load of salt inside, senpai

>>1236025
>salt
>why do my feet look like jerky after a good hike?

OP, go with gold bond AND an anti fungal spray

t. sweaty feet

>>1236005
get the $18

the folded back one is easier on the heating element (approx half as much heat per unit area)

or if you know you're going to empty the thing in say a year or are moving out, get the $9 one

>>1236050
Thanks, thats what I figured
