Drain, yes. Just let it drain outside. fuck it. If you're in an area that it get's super cold don't forget to use pipe tape.

>let it drain outside

can't, property slopes to the side so it'd go right into my neighbor's yard. I could only get away with it if I sent it under his deck, but he has a serious rat problem and supplying them with water probably wouldn't help the situation.

Win win:
Pvc to under his porch with a collection bowl at the end.

About 10 feet back is a poison mixing valve that poisons water. 2 problems permanently solved.

I suggest not doing this. I'd put a switch controlling an outlet. But that's just me.

I forgot to post that on the first picture, when I put my multimeter leads on the first two wires on the front, I get a continuity reading from the meter.

But when I unplugged those two terminals and tied them together with a piece of wire, only the light of the bandsaw came on. The wheels never turned.

>>1239897
Uhm what about using a zip-tie to hold the switch in place and cut the power with a switch?

Could you get away with only ever owning a Tig welder? Or are there situations where you absolutely need a mig welder?
Asking for a friend.

All I know is stick is the worst

>tfw no alu welding

Make your own models, for projects and things around the house. Trinkets and statues get old real quick
Also there is a general
>>1236605

Why'd you buy it if you don't have ideas?

>>1239138
The people with grand plans of making money and being a big entrepreneur buying these things stupid.

Its a toy that can do some cool practical stuff. It doesnt need to be anything more than that

Just a guess but I'm thinking by embedding the sodium nitrite into the plastic it allows for a slow and controlled release.
>too much at once may not be a good thing

>>1239115
its probably cheaper and more convenient to just buy the vci sheets

>>1239115
>Zerust uses sodium nitrite blended into some sort of plastic.
Plus other shit. Plain sodium nitrite isn't going to protect your stuff from corrosion.

>>1239206
Quite likely true.

Definatley go for the hoax runestoned. Do some research first so its not obvious

>>1238905
You'll have to research a way to make the stone look old. Freshly cut stone looks a certain way and takes years to weather properly.

>>1238946
I planned on just leaving it and letting someone find them.

Proportional Flow Valves

Radio controlled high torque servo motor hooked to a ball valve.

Anyone? ':D

diy is a slow board.. don't expect quick (<1 day) answers.

Convectors are just hot water radiators, tho some can use both hot water or steam.
The thermostat is bog simple, as long as the hollow tube that feeds the sensor isn't kinked or cut it's fine. If it is kinked or cut then you have to replace the whole valve assembly.

That does look like a frigging ratsnest.

>>1238720
Sorry for my inconvience ":)

And thanks for the reply.
It seems the owners have just pushed the wire through the grate and be done with it...

So in short, if I chech the metal tube and the wire for damage and find none (apart from the bends and twists) it should be ok?

>>1238512
just normal high temp pex with closed cell foam insulation. the thicker stuff

>>1238524
its going to be buried underground so i dont think that will work.
sorry i didnt mention the underground thing before
but yes the foam cell stuff would work indoors on the non insulated piping thru the house

>>1238512
Incase it in styrofoam and bury it, that's what we did when I helped the neighbors install theirs. We used the durofoam stuff with the green on one side and silver on the other it was quite a bit more flexible than the standard stuff. I think we went 8" wide and then made a sandwich with it and glued it togethere with a slot for the pipe. Stagger the joints so it stays together well. Put sand underneath to level and cover it with sand before you bury it to keep bigger rocks from punching into it.

If you already have the sliders you can use either 90 degree angle brackets or blocks of wood screwed to the underside of the table to attach them.

>>1238070
If you really want to use clamps then you can make some out of C brackets and bolts, buy some clamps, or salvage clamps from something else which has clamps.

Add rubber pads if you don't want to damage the table surface.

I appreciate the advice, but I forgot to mention that this drawer is to be used at work, and as such, drilling and/or screwing (apart from clamping, of course) into the table aren't an option.

What do I need to type into google and/or ebay in order to find C brackets such as in pic related?

i cut my own hair now for ~7 years
wash first so its wet, pull it taut, cut as required. repeat.
to begin i cut it right into the wood, real short and for the first fortnight everyone tells me it looks shit and patchy and big bald spots but im a real function over form kind of guy, don't give a fuck.
received clippers as a present from family, much quicker than scissors, just clipper all over, slightly longer on the top, shorter back and sides. also its great for shaving when you only have a disposable and left it growing longer than you should have.

>>1234998
the way you described it makes me think of you as a retarded greasy haired autistic high schooler with unkept hair

>it sucks for 2 weeks but then it's acceptable

>>1234983
try being a fat slob instead and get a haircut every 3 months

Great idea but I would like to keep untouched the thing inside, it looks like is money

>>1242823
Quench in oil or water and how hot would I need chrome vanadium to be for the quench? Temper in oven how long at what degrees Celsius?

>>1242826
quench in used motor oil once its past its critical stage, which is like 2000f or when it glows super bright and is no longer magnetic, temper at 400f for an hour or so then air cool

>>1242671
normally there are vents in the eaves
leave about 50mm/2inch between the insulation and the actual roof timbers to allow air to circulate otherwise it will damp and rot?

>>1242692
My soffits are not vented, they are solid so I didn't think I needed to do that.

Glasswool wont rot...

But you can use styrofoam too. Its dirt cheap and you can use pu foam as glue. Just get a long enough nail. Put some small pu dots on the styrofoam panel then nail it on the wood with the nail. The nail holds alk ubtil the foam hardens. Also you get a natural small air pocket for extra insulation
