Did you ever try a particle photon?

It's very well supported.

just bike someplace?

Nah, weightloss. Got into audiobooks and realized I could be burning calories.

Two basic approaches are:
Friction
Magnetic resistance

I figure magnetic resistance is safer, quieter, and that's the way the real ones do it.

Around here that's just asking to get run down. I was given the bikes because my friend had enough close calls to quit biking to work. I don't even have a helmet.

Also, I fully intend to have my ass planted in front of a computer while I do it. Priorities.

An unsecure yet super easy thought that comes to mind is just make 2 dowels coming out of the wall near the ends of the thing so you can place it with the dowels between the teeth and lean the piece against the wall?

>>1173296
agree

>>1173085
i wouldn't hang it on the wall. for one, it's missing teeth; also, i think bones look real tacky in any sort of feature position outside a museum. if you can capture that aesthetic it might be worth the effort.

try resting it pointing straight upwards under a white overhead light at the end of a somewhat narrow hallway. you could place it on a shelf and use some adhesive gap at the top to keep it straightly vertical.

just thinking about it now i don't endorse that you hang your sawfish skeleton. Just lean it against your wall so it looks chill.

It's your funeral bro. We all know of those tragic 1x2 desk accidents that happen every year.

You could certainly design a desk to be as sturdy as you need it with 1x2, though it would be kind of stupid to design it around this material.

>>1172986
It might feel a bit 'bouncy' when you put weight on it. Depends on how many you use really.

Use a small drill bit to put a hole on either end of where the slot will be... use a dremel with cutting wheel or even a jewelers saw to cut out the slot... if it has to look pretty then go slow.. also consider clamping some kind of straightedged material above and below the slot edge to help guide the sawblade and keep it all straight.

>>1172955
wont the cutting wheel break easily? were talking about aluminium here. its that easy to drill aluminium, but still, its a solid flat surface, not a piece of wire.

>>1172956
Won't know till you try it...


Use eye protection..

>>1172836 i had to get a new butt because my old one had a crack in it haha

>>1172836
>is it going to keep splitting
doubtful

>>1172836
That happens as they dry out. If you're lucky it's as dry as its going to get and it'll stop, otherwise it'll keep running.

>>1171936
put a canvas on it. Also, why not go with the minimalist approach of you have to hide your shit, ie hooks on the ceiling for rope play

>>1171936
If you are going to build one, 1) heavy duty hinges at the top, 2) quick release braces at the bottom, 3) folds up and goes under bed.

Canvas, Can't believe i didn't think of it. awesome idea.
As for minimalist approach, that is the plan. But it makes everything feel so "fragile" ? probably just an impression, but, see what i mean ?

this is what im working with (as if you dont know what bamboo is) and what i managed to gather today and rough measurements. have plenty more bamboo to cut and use if needed.

i cant find any diagrams for a folding bamboo bed table so im kinda lost on this one. would screws be more effective for the bottom for integrity or twine bound then sealed with selac or whatever.

i kinda have an idea how to make it height adjustable (table top). any ideas or suggestions or offers would be grwst.

Build her one of these instead. I can't imagine OP's table without using heavy duty construction to withstand the weight and not give. You essentially have to make a giant U that won't flex.

I walk barefoot a lot.

Isn't that isn't just a box joint?

If you mean those trick joints that got popular on youtube, they're not that strong and take a lot of time to make, compared to dove tails or box joints.

>>1169324
Bridle joint.

Answer to op is that most furniture sold these days is ikea grade aluminum and particle board bolted together. Solid wood anything is a premium deal and sold for premium price.

Thanks for answering guys, I don't really know anything about wood working.

I saw a video of some Japanese workers joining wood together, is it impractical to do that for a diy for a beginner? Maybe making a bed frame or a shelf? Nothing fancy like dove tails and all that.

I'm obviously very impressed by this but the more I talk about it the more I feel stupid.

>>1163786
use it as a stand for your phone

>>1163786
Assuming the radio only picks up AM, I'd probably disconnect or bypass the actual radio portion, then add an aux input so you could hook up a phone. If I were feeling really crafty, I'd rig up a Bluetooth audio receiver and rewire the knobs to be playback controls using an Arduino or something.

Very cheap ~$3

Take an old phone (something like a nokia 3310 lol) or even an old laptop (but you have to get a driver board)

Get some bondo and hardener...apply, sand, repaint...

>>1173347
Can bondo even be used to fill something that large? Would it need to be built up layer by layer?

who?

>>1170969
Ah I forgot there are normal boards on 4chan.
Christian Weston Chandler is a turbo autist. Regardless I just want to know if he is doing this correctly or not

>>1170986
There is no right or wrong way, there is a spectrum of how long it will hold up but most will last longer than you need

Also, you fucked up the ISO date format which is YYYYMMDD, not DDMMYYYY or MMDDYYYY which is not even used anywhere

It only needs 1 wheel. The shaft can telescope using 2 pipes of different diameters and a thick pin to lock it in place. Use angle iron to make a cross. Remaining upright is your job, when on the go. You can use a wide "Center Stand" style kickstand for the trailer when you want to park the bicycle.

>>1173672
Hmm, seems there are tons of these styles, OP.

I've heard people talk about them having a tendency to tip over, hence why I was leaning towards (no pun intended) a two wheeled version.

The person who made this one, who did a terrific job and wrote a nice instructable for it, said he later went with two wheels instead because it was too unstable.
