Why not ask them to leave the whole thing?
They're just going to turn it into mulch anyways. Save them the work and get yourself more wood.

why would i pay someone to remove a tree and leave it? my neighbor wants the chunk not me.

>>1229584
They won't care. One less heavy as fuck thing to move.

Hi anon. Italian fag here, wine producer: you must wait the end of September before you cut the grapes...anyway as far as I see you'll have maximum 30ml of wine from there..

>can i diy a house with a kit, i can fix some unrelated stuff

no

>why?

just no

>>1228792

Really useful post, thanks so much for your time and effort.

How about just not posting next time?

a cabin or a house?

>>1228338
Dude throw that shit away, and next time pay attention. Maybe keep the degreaser away from the grill.

no chance it'll cook off?

What's the degreaser made out of? I'd probably just throw it away though.

>We just purchased a 3.5mm to RJ10 adapter, as well as a RJ10 to USB adapter.
sounds sketchy
you don't have a phone with a 3.5mm jack? bluetooth even?

>>1232023
I have a 3.5mm jack, but the jack cant hook up to the RJ10 to USB connector. The reason I'm using the RJ10 to USB adapter is so the computer will recognize it as a dial up modem. I'll make a graphic and post it in a sec

>>1232010
Yeah if you just want to spend 2 hours trying to post a reply on 4chan, maybe.

Not sure what it is good for except a waste of time.

Because some of us have projects that require making thousands of cuts.

How do you think they did it before mitre saws were a thing?

>>1231654

Why does your blind ass need a miter box when you could just use a protractor, scribe, and your own mastery of the blade?

Heard complaints about the fence on some of the DeWalt saws. Buying a different miter gauge also seems to help according to what I've read.

>>1231594
>I don't really need a $2k cabinet saw or anything super grand, I just need something stable, preferably with a cast iron table top.
use on craigslist

they may look terrible, covered in rust...but plenty of them can be found sub $100 and are solid

>>1231599
As far as brands go, any suggestions? I've asked a couple of people I know that have circular and miter saws but none own a table saw so they didn't offer much help

Just check each stack with multimeter or see if any have the 100k colorcode

supposedly the good ones have lots of tools that you probably don't have at home, and I suppose there might actually be some people there who don't suck and can help you learn.

Personally I'd expect it to suck 90% of the time.

>supposedly the good ones have lots of tools that you probably don't have at home,
This is the entire point of them. I don't understand this phenomenon of them supposing to be community spaces; even hobby shops back in the day, you might do some painting or assembly there but it wasn't specifically to meet people and join startups like hackerspaces are

Why do the 72'' ones work better for knives than the 30"? This is a real question

>>1230025
I salvaged an old table saw motor in planning on using for one. Local steel distributor is 40 min away though, so I've been waiting for a reason to make a run up there.

I found a variac in a junk shop that works.


As far as the design goes, take a look on YouTube. Loads of guys building them. You can either buy the wheels for ~100USD or turn them yourself in a grinder or drill press. Prob worth the money to just buy them

>>1230026
longer belt = longer life.

despite being twice as long, they actually last a lot more than double the lifespan.

72" / 186cm blets also have the advantage of being able to run larger contact wheel ranges - ie, 50mm radius wheels for fullers/scallops, and 250mm / 10" wheels for hollowgrinds.

they also allow a decent width between idler wheels, which lets you put a decent width/length platen in. more length there reduces the heat buildup from friction, which causes wear and premature belt failure. it also allows you to grind flat faces easier.

lastly, 2x72 is one of the widest range of belts, including cubitron II and Trizact.

simply throw their nests away and maybe leave some pidgeon poison. unless your balcony is in the middle of a clean, natural forest, these pidgeons carry disease, so you need to sanitize the problem accordingly.

just pressure wash the fucker

maybe not even that, just use a hose

are you eating right off your balcony or something?? hot water and soap should suffice for getting any marks out

i had this problem too once i just used a broom and some water

Burn it with fire. Whole building.

>>1229371

you could make a home theater. the seats are usually the critical item, and you have that one covered.

>>1229383
Great idea! But I was actually looking to spruce them up and sell them. Just don't know what the best approach is. I was thinking of maybe staining them and painting the seat part of it in different colours.

>>1229392
Sanding is going to be a pain in the ass, but stain, and paint is a good idea. I've personally wanted to get a good wooden chair to make a shelf out of.

>>1228922
I've used them for a hot water tank, and they seem to work pretty well. Especially good if the main valve into the house is leaking a bit, so you can't get the water totally shut off to make a clean solder (without resorting to the white bread trick)

>Inb4 buthurt plumbers

>>1228922
I love them. Fuck sweating and cementing. Although, I had to replace all of them in my house after news broke they had lead in them that was above x limit. Now they are more expensive because of that....they still have lead in them though.

Go to the local library, used books store, or thrift store and borrow/buy a book about DIY electrical. The basics have not changed in 60 years, so don't worry too much about its age. You can probably find the electrical code for your area online. Supplement the book with that. YouTube is also a great source of info on this kind of stuff.

>>1228306
>involved
how involved

if you screw up and somehow cause an electrical fire, your insurance company won't cover squat

>>1228317

Yeah luckily there are a shitload of libraries in my area that all are part of a sharing system. I've started researching some books and might have them do an inter-library loan on ones that my local branch doesn't have.

>>1228362

This house is old and thus has weird shit going on with it. Like the bathrooms don't have electrical outlets, for one. So I'm gonna add an outlet to each bathroom, put in GFCI outlets where code requires, and eventually replace all the 2-prong outlets with proper grounded 3-prong ones. The last bit is the one I'm most concerned about because it might require running new wire and terminating the old one. There's more but these are just some examples.

I plan on doing everything carefully, by the book (literally by the NEC book), following city code in terms of inspections and permits. I am overly cautious in general so I will not do anything with the potential to burn my house down without being extremely sure I'm doing it right. That's why I'm interested in going beyond Youtube videos and so forth to actually get a complete understanding of residential electrical systems.
