What you are looking for is a compression sleeve

You can find them on mcmaster under pulling&lifting>wire rope>wire rope accessories>compression sleeves

>make wooden version of steel parts

>wonder if grain direction

no

the whole thing is wrong

>>1104436
>Just time?
yeah

and out it in the oven and turn it up very slightly to make it warm

or put over radiator

Just put them somewhere and point a fan at them for a day or two.

The vapor pressure will have them dry in no time considering how dry most homes are in winter

>>1104441
yup... I mean you could press a dry cloth into the foam to try to absorb as much of it as possible, but beyond that you just need to give it time.

Dont try to speed it up by using heat either, since it drying too fast can damage the membrane used by the speaker. Just set it aside for a day or 2.

That's a stealth bathroom.

thats just a funky wall with pieces of mirror cut to fit.

I would go with a raspberry pie.

I'm thinking if you use a GPS to record the point of where the anchor was dropped and then the distance or radius you can monitor the anchor drag with mathematical calcs.

There are cellular modules that you can also buy to hook up to your pie. You'll have to get a basic data plan and iirc they can cost as low as $10 a month.

Use the pie to take the info from the GPS and do your spacial calcs then your water level.

Then you'll be able to text yourself the data through the cellular/sim module with your pairs for sim card.

Easy peasy.

This. Depending on your investment, you might want to design some redundancy in. Maybe use two independent systems to monitor the RPis.

The RPi is a great solution because it has a large online development community and draws very little power.

Will your boat be within cell tower range? Everything you said you want to do is easily achievable with either Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or even an ESP8266 or ESP32.

You can get these on sparkfun, adafruit, or even ebay/amazon.

CATIA

or SolidWorks if you're a pleb.

also what do you think about the nexd1 printer on kickstarter?

>>1103915
thanks I was going to try to use openscad

This dumb

I bought a tree at Lowe's for 50 cents yesterday. Marked down from $135.

>>1103686
this is worse than pintrest clickbait

Get a job so you can pay your gas bill or get your furnace serviced

Pee in the reservoir. Or heat up the house/room. Space heaters can be found for a relatively cheap price now.

Thank God I live in Florida, fuck that shit.

The knob on the back isn't for hammering. And they are more along the lines of carpenter axes then anything. Still too fat to be carving. The v notch is for vine cutting or rope. Hardly works like that tho.

They're more a craftsmans hatchet, you can shape timber, bang in nails, pull them out and in a pinch, make some kindling. They're maybe less adept as an 'axe' I guess than the scandi ones which are more of a woodsmans tool for carving, bit better at handling thicker timber and bashing in tent pegs, whittling etc.

Ignorance.

Closer, but still off.

>it looks practical but the trend among outdoor enthusiasts
No.

It's a roofer's hatchet. Could also be a lath hatchet or a box hatchet, etc. Depends on the maker. Either way, each part had a use. The notch is for pulling and prying out nails. Some had them, some didn't. A claw hatchet, for example, had a claw and left off the notch. The edge was for working with small bits of wood. Splitting wood shingles for roofing, opening crates, etc. The "knob", as this turd >>1103295 speculates, was absolutely for hammering. It was intended for small nails, though. Roofing nails, lath nails, etc. You wouldn't frame with one of these.

Put some anti flea stuff on your cat and get said cat to rub up against a bunch of shit. also google it.

Diatomaceous earth.

eucalyptus leaves

most insects hate eucalyptus oil, and will stay away from it. it also smells like cat piss, so it will blend in with the smell of your room.

Anyone?

>>1102822
just get the standards (pirate them), try ISO 128

>>1103150
I was looking more at some books or online sources that actively teach me how to do that stuff.
I'm sure there are a lot more standards than that one anyway.

Plus I need an easy to use drawing software, is autoCAD good enough or is it shit?

I assume this is the wrong board, considering the lack of responses, where should I bring my requests?

>>1102300
As long as you shut the electricity of it should be fine.

I'd install a new box and rerun the wires though.

>>1102300
turn off the circuit breaker power and youll be fine

So just find the one that knocks out the lights and we're good to go? Also this is probably obvious, but touching the metal on the outside even while the power's on is safe yeah? Im sure someone has already flipping the lights on and off. No ones dead yet after all.

Plug the end and fill it up with water. Let it freeze

So you want a small bit wrench, but you want it made cheaply in mainland china?

Cant find some garbage on ebay?

>bit wrench
Fuck I found now, pretty much the same but for $5 with a couple bits more. I'm not a native english speaker so I didn't knew the correct name for that tool.

Also sorry for my poor english.

>>1101755
the cost of what it takes to make a one off something remotely similar to that (lathe, broaches, torch, vice, hammer, material for a mold for the bit holder, milling machine for making the mold, plastic/rubber injection machine), its cheaper to just spend the $20

granted you can buy bits for it from different manufacturers, not all bits are of the same quality. buying cheap just means your bits will just wear out faster.

Here is the side of the jigsaw. They both have threading on the side to mount a plastic handle, it's in the box.

Here is the side of the drill. It doesn't have a reverse mode, but has a trigger lock button so you can lock it with the motor running. This leads me to believe it is a commercial tool. I cant imagine many DIY guys in the 50s needed a drill that would keep running for long stretches of time.

This is the tag on the top of the drill. It lists some basic info.

I tried searching the brand, model #, even serial, but nothing comes up. Not even a picture or reference of the brand.

Its definitly high quality. The case is actually some ferrous alloy, it is magnetic. I assumed initially it was aluminum. Also, the cables are very thick and rubbery, similar to the cable on modern makitas.
