Anyone?

What the fuck is a grounded power cable? You should let somebody help you who knows what he's doing

You don't know what a power cord with three prongs is?

Wanted a new fight stick. Made a new one from Queensland maple, mahogany, and wenge stringing. That was about 3 months ago now, and is the most recent thing I made.


And now my friends are gonna find this post and make fun of me, but that's okay cuz /diy/ is cool.

>>Can this be fixed?
Probably not without destroying the handle.

>What went wrong with it?
That style of iron is very cheap and generally only has a few parts inside of it. Something was probably put together badly, which caused that part to overheat and burn out. I bet if you opened it you'd find a broken contact somewhere inside of it.

>>1129361
Do simple soldering irons really just die out like this? Is this normal?

>>1129365
I have opened it up before. It is full of some chock material inside the visible metal piece. The rest looked fine though. I will post pics in a minute.

got one of this.
are these capable of cutting steel/iron or only woods?

>>1129615
wood only. though you could probably do a really soft metal like brass or copper.

>>1126796
nope.

we have this question on a regular basis, and the answer is always NO unless you do some major removations.

Quit being a NEET and get a job you degenerate

I don't think that'll keep cats out of my front yard lol. I'm tempted to trap and release them.

Inside city limits? Then there's probably a leash law that applies to most pets. Call animal comtrol.

get an electrician. if you're asking this question you dont want to be playing with live wiring. its probably exposed wiring so when water gets on it, it shorts.


electricians have fancy tools like insulated screwdrivers, boots and multimeters that are expensive.

I have all these tools and I'm not paying a loltrician ridiculous prices to tell me something I can figure out on my own.

I will take the risk, I just need to know how I can isolate the offending circuit.

seems your main power line isnt properly isolated.

get an electrician.

Nice try, Satan

>still doesn't know blacksmith is one word, not two
>oh yeah, this will go well

1) it can be
2) i can't really make shit, i just fix shit
3) mostly depends on the materials you're working with
4) go fuck yourself
5) metal inert gas
6) no

Take it to recycling

What are you talking about? If there IS lead in any of it, and I have no idea why there would be, wash your hands before you eat if you handle it, otherwise use it and don't worry. Jesus H. Is this a troll? If so 2/10 made me reply and I learned to not pay attention to idiotic threads involving lead.

>>1137229
lead is soft. i'd be confused if bolts were made of lead. lead roofing nails were common. just compare the mass of a suspicious nail to one of the same size that you know is iron. if its much heavier, it's lead.

Grade your yard to face away from the house?

Build a wall infront of your porch...

Wtf is with those retarded steps down? Id fill that with dirt so quickly.

I have a dog and a cat and an extremely sensitive nose. Also I'm a HUGE neat freak. There have been times when they throw up in the house due to illness, etc. Also when we went through potty training phase there was lots of pee. I tried everything I could find, carpet shampoo, pet and stain odor remover, pet and stain pee remover, etc. I literally bought every brand on the shelf and did many trials to find what would actually work. Like I said I'm a huge neat freak. Some would cover the pee with a stronger smell, but it would still be there and so was the discoloration. Or some would rid of the pee smell, but the discoloration would remain. Or some would take care of the discoloration, but the pee was still there. I would clean it really good, let it dry, then put my nose on the carpet and smell and also visually inspect where the accident happened. Of all the stuff I've ever tried, Eco-88 is the only thing that 100% got rid of the pee, poop, throw up, etc. AND remove the stain. Pee, throw up, etc. is acidic so I guess this stuff is a really strong base? From what I can tell when it comes into contact it starts bubbling immediately. Reminds me of peroxide on a wound. I think what happens is the acidic vomit/pee contacts with a strong base and basically turns it into a neutral like water. Plus there's some other chemicals that removed the discoloration. I'm not sure how it works exactly, I can just tell you that it fucking works amazing. I usually spray pretty heavy so when it's all done there is leftover like, peroxide smell where the spot was. Take a wet rang and wipe it over the spot to clean the excess Eco88 out of the fibers and your good to go. Spot removed, smell gone, acid neutralized. Full disclosure this stuff is superstrong. If you get it on your skin it burns like a thousand needles and turns your hands white. It's 100% a chemical burn, that's how strong it is. But it fuxking WORKS 10/10 would highly reccomend

>These already suck up a shit ton of electricity,

>crockpot

wat?

>>1136991
You expect chink shit to be throughfully designed?

>>1136991
>These already suck up a shit ton of electricity
Tell me, do you expect that you pay more or less than ten cents for the electricity to make a slow-cooked meal?

>Can you think of any reason why this *wouldn't* be a good idea?
Because the cooker is designed to maintain a suitable thermal equilibrium at its heat output to slow cook food and keep itself cool enough to avoid internal damage. Adding insulation would produce lower side wall temperatures and higher internal temperatures. This could in principle lead to unsuitably hot cooking and damage to wiring.

>>1136987
Good for you. All the best with it anon.

OP here. Does anyone know a good set of plans? I can probably wing it with success, but plans would help.

>>1136987
>fairly portable
Nope. Notice how long that is, and the handles on each end. It's meant to be carried by two people and put on the floor where you need it. It's not really meant to be carried around like a briefcase, especially when it's full of stuff. That being said it looks pretty straightforward. I don't think plans would be necessary in this case. All memes aside looking at those planks on the side, pallet wood might actually be good for this.

thats exactly what I had.

the problem is, each end of that brace, is about 3" tall. so whatever its pressing into, needs to be at least 3" tall. My issue, is that there is a 1x1 or 2x2 piece of wood in the corner where the sheetrock and plywood meet, not allowing the brace's teeth to grab onto the wood, it doesn't touch anything.

but this is exactly what I need.

Thanks for the response though.
