1. look at it
2. buy the parts you see
3. legos

You don't need to know what they're called.

Go to hardware store's plumbing section. Find pipes and valves. Find sizes that fit into each other.

Connect pieces, set as shown. There's no special magic at work there, just valves and liquid pressure.

Maybe pick up some plumbers tape for the threads.

if you have an asshole landlord (most likely) : take it off the hinges, put it in the storage closet and put in a solid core door.

If he's easy going : pick out a better door, say you'll pay for it and get him to sign off on the replacement.

Then use draft strips and a bottom draught excluder on the door.

Yes, you will need to pump it as even before the regulator utility natural gas is not under high pressure. Also propane liquefies, natural gas wont until its under extremely high pressure, a propane tank wont store nearly as much natural gas as it would propane.

You may also want to look into cng tanks that are designed for this (primarily for vehicles) they store it at like 6000 psi. A cng tank able to fit in a car may hold more natural gas than your propane tank.

> Yes, you will need to pump it as even before the regulator utility natural gas is not under high pressure.

So by “yes”, you actually mean "no, not really in any kinda useful capacity"?

Since that 500 lb propane tank would just act something like an unpressurized hot air balloon, you’d only be storing a few cubic feet of natural gas that would run out pretty quickly once the gas service was interrupted.

>>1131925
As others have mentioned, you're only filling it up with gas as that's what the mains send down their lines.
Now in another career as a child slave labourer in my parents petrol station I used to fill a lot of gas cylinders using the decanting way, which is at its most basic- shoving liquid gas into another container. That is what creates the pressure as it goes from liquid to gas and expands.

heat gun is fastest but you will never clean up the remaining solder

just get a new unpopulated board will be easier and better looking

>>1134855
I use a resistance solderer. It is instant heat through the solder and is safe for components so long as you don't cross the electrodes across points on the component. It also is so fast that heat doesn't destroy the component either even without using needle nose pliers as a heatsink on the legs.

Look on craigslist. Better to get a used welder first and see if you like it before dropping cash on something you won't use. Go with 220 if you can. I just got a lincoln 220 volt 225 amp stick welder off craigslist for 75 bucks.

Hey there /diy/nosaurs. I frequent a bunch of the blue boards, particularly /out/ and /diy/. Both boards constantly ask for infographics so I started compiling a library of them back in 2015. It's since been updated over and over, and I'm working on another update as I type this. It's a bit over 6GB and contains infographics, books, audio, and video files. Recently I was able to upload it all onto Google Drive:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2ILpxMxNOBzZGxpNmtQQzBfWlE

Please note - the library was made for the user to drill down to the project or predicament at hand, so if you're simply browsing you WILL run into redundancies. Happy reading!

So This is the Idea I came up with.

I have a few concerns:
>Will it be stable enough to support my equipment?
>Is that to complicated for me?
>Which wood should I use?
>Will I be able to get a curved piece of wood like that one under the table somewhere?
>how would I best support the flat piece of wood on the back? Will it break if I move the table forward?

Just give me any general thought


sorry for broken english

I would try to keep everything form falling apart using screws (Yeah, I know those are bolts which cant be used like that - I did not have another 3dmodel laying around)

Gotta get a better picture.

do you know how to follow a schematic, buy wood, measure it up, cut it, drill it, and insert skrews where you need to?

then you can probably build it

tip:
build a small one before you waste money on materials.

>>1135388
A bookshelf is absurdly simple to make, it's just a bunch of horizontal boards, stacked some distance from each other.

>>1135388
You should probably hire a carpenter dont want you to bust up your thumbsies.

if you are so worried then keep the monitor in the box and build around it.
yes screens can hold high voltage charges. watch videos and if you are confident enough wear rubber gloves, touch with one hand only.

>>1135282
The screens in the fallout terminals are (with default HUD color) green phosphor monitors. But imho the orange phosphor screens looked the best

Save some time and remodel an old computer
Might take some searching on ebay but they arn't hard to come by. Find a controller for the screen or replace it, and then put a raspberry pi in it.

Pic related.

Other models that look simular are the Zenith Z-89 (and some other zenith models), ADM-3A terminal (closest matching I can think of) and an interesting one that wouldn't really match but still looks neat is the SIAC V2, which some times pop up on ebay. Try searching for "dumb terminal" or "vintage computer".

At least on this page http://panda-bg.com/en/products/Electricians-Tools/Solder-Tools/Gas-Powered-Solder-Tools/251107/h-aa3ec391318f1329d6ce898b892f53ad%7C!%7Co-code%7C!%7Cd-asc%7C!%7Cl-25%7C!%7C/
I found the same Hotery CT-6000 which is also sold on this cooking site https://www.kookpunt.nl/hotery-ct-6000-gasbrander/nl/product/6186/

Also should I worry about the specific mix the torches take (butane, propane, a mix, ...)?

Oxy-acetaline and never look back

Haha, that looks cool, but probably way too expensive for me. I'd use this sporadically, definitely not professionally. Thanks though

Could be monkeypod/raintree wood. A lot of Filipino serving trays are made of that. Looks like it to me, anyway.

Thanks :D

If it helps its oldish, probably 60's,70's

your requirements are clear as mud, but maybe this video can point you in the right direction:

in case it wasnt clear, the idea is to wire the magnetic switch across the doorbell remote's switch.

>>1134772
>>1134773
it doesn't have a magnetic switch, it's like a doorbell

although one with a magnet probably would have been better
