Is there something else I should get, or any tips on cleaning them?

How many cars do you have? I'd build it so you have at least a couple feet of space between each car and the wall. I'd throw on some wooden walls for protection from the sun/wind etc. Concrete or gravel for the floor, whichever you prefer. For the main supports, I would probably use metal piping or something like that, so you won't have to replace them in 10 years. This site has some decent info : http://diyinahour.com/diy/building-a-carport/

We have 3 but it'll just be for 2. Gravel seems like the easier option (farm land so as long as it's not muddy it's fine) . Thanks for the info and the site I"ll check it out.

My neighbor put up a carport and the whole thing was destroyed by Pittsburgh wind within a year. Next they got a thick boxed metal one and it has been here like 6 years now. Pic is not theirs but similar. If you buy a big one for multiple cars then be sure there is thick steel.

it's a great entry level printer.

>>1149322
there's no such thing as "just as a hobby" for 3d printing
you either go all in or you get bored after a month and sell your printer
if you're serious then spend more than $500 or you'll regret it

>>114939
kek at that pic. like a kangaroo car

Should also mention that I plan to use a 3d printed frame, as well as a nice 3s LiPo

You really want to follow a guide for your first build. Sadly I can't really find a good one myself.

>Any tips to get me pointed in the right direction?
here is a good website to start:

1) Wrong tool. Look into a shaper. Unless your baseboards are tiny and not like your picture.

2) Overkill bro. What you are looking for is called a "hammer", not a finish nailer. You want one with a smooth face and probably about 12 oz. Then get a nail sink of the right size of the nail heads you plane to use. If you plan on staining the baseboards, apply the putty over the nail heads *after* you stain. Make sure it matches the stain. If you plan on painting the baseboard, apply the putty before you paint.

Listen to this man. Finish nailers are for lazy degenerates and jam all the fucking time (ugh..).

Yeah I thought about getting a shaper, but it's overkill for my situation. I will go with whatever (most elaborate) design I can get away with using the router. I'm planning on painting it, so no staining should be needed. I only have 8' ceilings so I can really only go with a total height of 6" for the baseboard.

3 Weeks generally won't kill a new battery but it is getting on the border of how long you would want to go without starting it or trickle charging it.

Obviously the stereo has been cycling on and off and this has fucked your battery. It might be a shitty earth somewhere, or some other loose wire.

Unless the battery is a deep cycle one, its fucked, get a new one.

>>1148997

So I am having some trouble here, kind of a chicken or the egg thing.

Could the battery failure have triggered this disk player malfunction? Or did the disk player malfunctioned somehow and this discharged the battery?

Also, related to your first point, why does not using the car could discharge a battery?

>>1148984
>Could 3 weeks of not turning on the car cause the dead of a battery?

Depending on what make and model the cars is, yes.
Newer cars have electronics connected to the battery and drawing a small amount of power at all times.

The CD player issue is probably related to the low voltage. It changed while you were trying to start the car because the key position affects accessories and because with the low battery any change in the key position changed the minimal voltage left.

Use it more often or put a maintainer on it when it's stored.

New video alerts are what keep me going through the work day, knowing I'll get to come home to a cool project video or a vivisection of some hapless tool.

Seriously though it is genuinely pleasant to listen to a personable trade share their knowledge while also being one who has the humility to say when he doesn't know something (and request the viewers provide their own insight in order to learn more). The discourse is the comments is often fantastic and the channel as a whole is a fantastic example of skill in practice and refusing to stagnate. Of course I'm a little inebriated and maybe talking out of the bottom of my bottle, but I like the guy.

The lingo is choice too. It reminds me of something between Red Green, old old TLC/etc educational channel shows, and maybe Mike Rowe but way more unfiltered. It'd be way less entertaining if he were picked up by some network and watered down/cleaned up. Everybody has a price no matter how proud they are but he's nearing 1 million subs and hasn't sold out yet. I'm gonna continue to enjoy it while it lasts.

>>1148963
I like him, if not for the teardowns and engineering then for the slang.

>>1148971
>he's nearing 1 million subs
I like him as much as the next guy but anon he doesn't even reached 500k yet.

But I have been completely addicted to his videos lately, old stuff too is great.

He also makes me realize how much of knowledge I lack.

No, it's not. Research the physics.

Ben Eater has really good videos explaining the design of each component on his breadboard computer

Learn Verilog, in laymen's terms, it's a language that produces schematics that can then be uploaded to an FPGA board.
Also, ripple carry is slow, you can simplify the truth table for 4bit addition to make a much faster adder.

There are people who've built simple processors out of 7400 series chips, but it takes a LOT of time, and ends up being pretty expensive.

Look at things like this for examples though: http://cpuville.com/

I think there's an old fashioned webring on his site even. You can find more examples from there.

BUT, if I wanted to do this, I'd look at getting a hobbiest level FPGA from one of the Chinese junk sites.

Pic related will let you play with an awful lot of things from openrisc to spark, old CPUs architectures, and your own designs.

Should have just thrown some bags of gravel or quikcrete in the back.

>>1148675
This is a valid solution but I'd rather not roll around with bags of gravel in the bed :P

Follow up question; which is better, over or under leaf helpers?

This one is 81 1/2 x 39

Only option i see are bifolds. Even if you can move the switches, theres really no where to out them that would make it easily accessible while the barn door is open.

>>1148398
you want to put a door directly in front of another door?

stop fucking around OP. just dangle a sheet of beads in the doorway like you know youre going to do anyway.

So the easy way to go would be thin gauge metal like 20 to 22 gauge steel. Make a template for both bodies that you can brake to the shape with tight tolerances. For the lid I would buy the small hinges from those tiny craft boxes and rivet that to your lid and your bottom. They you can paint to whatever finish you like.

so basically can i do something liek pic related in a break or would i end up needing to make the body 2 pieces each to make a full box

im trying to imagine doing the final bends with the other sides of the box in the way possibly?

any other methods i could try that wouldnt require a break

would finishing a metal box be more difficult than a plastic option, i dont want it to look like shit and i want to make a lot of them

I can only really speak for the 3d printing part. I don't know exactly what this is for and what physical properties it would need, but I would not worry about a *WELL DESIGNED* part breaking. You can print hinges in place pretty easily, too. Again, I don't know what sort of forces we're talking about, but it's really easy/cheap to get a mockup made by some nerd on the interweb.

you can learn welding in three weeks if you spend all day everyday watching youtube videos and practice a whole lot

Maybe try JB weld it should work JB weld has done some amazing things for me in the past

I'd maybe use this
