in general I wouldn't, but it might depend on the size and shape of the image

Another problem, how do I make a template for the engraving? I guess I have to do it like a map projection but that looks like a huge pain in the ass.

I think I answered my own question....the bottle says "oil" while the tubes say "grease"

I'll have to pick some up at HF

Can you jerk off with it

You may need to write some drivers. Take the entire piece apart, it might be easier to just use the base keyboard and attach some microcontroller that'll take the input from the keystrokes. Teensy is good, and often used for this.

this is all you need
there is an arduino firmware for using the board as a keyboard, you just need to write a simple code like "if row 1 and col 1 is on, then press key X"
look for "arduino matrix keyboard" for wiring and code example, its pretty straightforward
the wiring will be a mess though

sorry i know you guys probably get this question alot so how bout another question instead.

does anybody have any suggestions on building an underground bunker with shipping containers?

Grant thompspn king of random on youtube. Replace plaster bullshit with kast-o-lite 3,000 or kaowool.

Alloyavenue forums.

Muffin tins last a long time.

Youtube green sand molding.

You are too lazy to Google. Fuck off.

Don't help people who clearly don't use search engines. Casting and foundry info is abundant, yet shittard OP came here instead.

Are the hinges really that important? Just laminate 2 halves separately and lay them next to each other.

You could turn it into three parts so you don't have a seam along the main grid thing. One for the grid, one for the info boxes, and one for the number tracker.

>>1137028
Dunno if you want this type of solution. But my friends and I have made numerous board games, and we have used this company exclusively. they do a damn fine job.

Parabolic trough will focus the led strip spread across the width of the trough. How much depends on the geometry of the trough and mounting of the LED strip. The beam will not be focused along the axis of the trough, so the beam will spread at 120 degrees in this plane.

>>1137129
What about the rays between the axis of the trough and the cut section? I have no clue how to calculate this..

Make the LED strip pass through a lengthwise slit a short distance away.

wtf.. usually, the (entire) front is hinge mounted, one-screw and opens from the front - you sure, you haven't manged to detach the outer rim of the fromt somehow? prob. I dont see how, even if you open it from the back, thats gonna help - if nothing else works,. prise away the glass, reseal afterwards - but, esp if its in an awkward position to change, throw it, get an LED, srsly.

>>1137016
What this guy said. It's a cheap outdoor flood - disconnect it, throw it away and replace with an LED version. Cost about $30

>>1137014
Looks like the previous owner did a DIY fix by gluing the glass to the housing with some RTV. If that is still soft, you can cut it with a razor blade around the sides. But then you'll have to clean the old glue off and re-glue the glass.

Junction box looks easy to open. Probably just the feed connected to the fixture with a couple of wire nuts or junction blocks. The fixture coupling to that box lid is a standard NPT thread, so a new LED or halogen head can be mounted easily.

"type B" apparently refers to bulb shape, and for whatever reason they recommend that, you can nevermind it just as the fire safety disclaimer BS. It's an E14 bulb socket and you can put any E14 bulb in there, it's fed 200V AC straight from the outlet and has nothing to do with the USB charger built into the lamp base. Your LIFX bulb looks like an E27, which equally runs on 220V AC, so yes, you can use it with an E27 to E14 adapter you can probably find in any hardware store. Most likely it will look ugly though.

Ah wait, 60Hz means you're in the land of freedom, in which case it's E26 not E27, E17 not E14 and 110V not 220V, but same story.

Locksmith reporting in.

We rarely pick locks, though. Atleast modern Scandinavian locks are just too difficult to pick. No problem to pick bicycle locks. We use high speed grinders to remove the pins in the lock. Takes 2 minutes.

>Locksmith reporting in.
What skills does your profession entail? How did you learn your trade?

>We rarely pick locks, though.
One of the lockpick club members was a safe cracker who had cornered the market on antique safes and vaults in the region because he actually cracked them instead of drilling a hole and ruining the piece of history like the lazy competition.

>>1136719
never picked a lock in my life, buddy found a lock pick set that wasn't too different than your pic related... took me all of 30 seconds to unlock the double deadbolt to my house. scary shit honestly. I was aware of the tensioning technique prior to trying though. Now i have a latch bolt in addition to those.

Klamath oregon. 1.2k per acre. Undeveloped land. Mostly forest so you can timber your own lumber if you wanna. Super remote in some parts. But if you do have any neighbors you could kill them in half and appropriate their land. Repeat until redneck forest king.

No, that is top secret and you will not find it anywhere.

That was difficult, wasn't it?

Why not try to DIY? Given that this is on DIY and all.

Get an orange mug, make a stencil, spray paint, bake it on for durability. There are special bake on paints as well for guns and car parts, but you could experiment with ordinary spray paint.

>>1136378
You know, I'm not sure why I didn't think of that.
I'll try to find a paint thats safe for use in these things.
Thanks!

How retarded do you have to be to not understand what diy means?

brake drum adjusters have a ratchet wheel that'd be about the right size.

el cheapo socket wrench from harbor freight / broken wrench you have laying around somewhere

>>1136275
if OP has to buy, something like this:

just drill out that rivet and you'll have your mechanism

Hot glue gun

Skin coloured silicone for the gums, teeth slightly undersized and fitted with skin-coloured or clear gelatin. Easy to push out but won't fall out by itself if you're not an idiot
