What sort of joinery would you use for a quick 2x4 table?

Not fucking pocket screws. Pic is a work bench made to roll around at work. It's so far lasted 3 years of daily abuse and there's not a single pocket screw on it.

I've found the King of Random to be fun to watch but nowadays it's just clickbait and silicone molds. Check out his older videos though.

You should pretend you can solder, just poke the iron into some circuit board and light a cigarette under it to make some smoke.

>>1136745
thats actually not a bad idea. id ont smoke cigs though. should i use marijuana instead?

>>1136747
Yeah, or even a candle, or a match, or something that makes smoke.

>>1136736
Well then what the fuck is that picture you just posted?

>>1136736
I'm about to start one also. Got the tools and MDF, just not settled on the design yet.

May just draw it onto the sheets and cut the sides, then improvise from there, can't be too hard.

I did see some plans online though, have a Google, they're out there, and free.

There's an eBay seller based in China that lives off people sending them specs and they send back the needed chips to run the display. Ordered from them before, like 30 bucks for an inverter(whatever the fuck that does) and control circuit. Works like a charm, turned old laptop display and raspberry pi into a weather station with it.
No fukken clue what they were named though. I'll try to find the old emails

Five minimum since your hands will constantly be rubbing down the clear. The more the better, personally I'd do at least seven.

Hope you have a completely dust free environment, it takes ages to dry so the chance of dust pick up is huge.

If you use a spray can of an acrylic paint like Rust-Oleum crystal clear enamel you can do coats 2 minutes apart, instead of 2 days apart.

Make a functional firearm

>>1136429
That just ain't me man. Besides, there's laws against that

Make yourself a couple of fully functional storage units with hinges and LEDs on the inside and everything you could possible need.

Would serve you well in the long run, definitely.

This is literally a cooking method developed by cavemen. All you need to do is create fire and understand how the wheel works. Hit+spin=survival

>>1136400
so is making a fire but you can't do it right until you're taught by someone who's done it before, cunt

>you can't do it right
Yes, and reminder that the prohibitions against chewing on pig by the various sand pirate religions is based in the horrific pan zoological parasites and pathogens you WILL get if you improperly cook the pig.

WILL.

You need to cook the ever living FUCK out of pig to remove the risk. That's something that is rather difficult to ensure with a pit fire. There are solutions, research and into them.

And as per all mammals, improper slaughter and you'll be fucked no matter what you do. And whatever you do, stay away from eating the brain. Prions.

Enjoy your trichinosis, OP.

Nothing. Screws aren't proper joinery and the fatsos reamed out the threads most likely. Rebuild it with proper wood joinery and it'll support you and fat albert.

I'm going to assume the mattress is suspended on slats.

what I would try :

- replace the 3 beams holding up the slats with something wider (screw and glue). If not possible strengthen them.

- replace the slats.

- If they aren't already, glue all connections between boards on the head/back end.

- I assume the head/back are connected to the sides and centre beam with brackets, they might allow some movement. Try replacing them.

If all else fails, something like this can take a lot of weight off the wooden frame :

Oil the joints. No friction, no creaking.

Try to see what other guys use who are doing similar things to what you do. Usually they have done it all the wrong ways, but not always, so feel free to incrementally improve on what they do.

The key, of course, is to have what you need frequently close at hand. Something you use once a week can stay in the truck. Something you use every few minutes should be in a pocket, pouch, or tool belt.

Just try to avoid lugging 50 lbs of tools to the work site when you only use 10 lbs every day. Those tote bins are great for carrying lots of extraneous equipment quickly, but don't overdo it and ruin your back.

Most experienced people do three or four main tool boxes and they keep a smaller box or pouch that carries their main tools.

You have a core set of tools that you use constantly and the rest are carried as needed.

You can always spot the apprentice plumbers as they carry their big ass box full of pipe wrenches around for everything.

I wish I had a cool job like rigging or factory maintenance where I could justify those cool ass backpacks. Walking around someone's house with a backpack is just fucking gay.

thats a pretty old board

the only parts you may have trouble identifying are the silver cans (probably transistors or opamps), the black resistor looking things (ferrite beads), and the little three pin surface mount devices (usually transistors or diodes).

the silkscreen is a good guide
Q?? = transistors
D?? = diodes
R?? = resistor
L?? = inductor
C?? = capacitor
TP?? = test point

>>1136134
>the only parts you may have trouble identifying are the silver cans
Huh? Canned parts are generally big enough to have unambiguous markings. Many, if not all of them, in that pic seem to be BC107s. The cylindrical ones are tantalum capacitors with voltage/capacitance value on them.

Fuck off.

>>1135140

ignore that hater, this is a good diy project that will result in a long-term thread.

we need more details, like what sort of furniture appeals to you. show pics of your living room and dining room, for example so we can help spec out the boat.

Is the layout already set? For what kind of sailing will it be for? Just leisure at the cost of efficiency or something more practical?
