I would run as far away from you niggers as possible.

/diy/ composes roughly of 30% professionals of various trades, 30% of blue collars, 30% of low income/neets, and 10% woman.

The professionals and blue collars will quickly form functioning teams as they recognise the importance of team work. The neets and the woman follow.

With their tools they quickly made some basic shelters with the trees and plants. Primitive technology is seen having influence.

However, social tension and chaos quickly arise after the populace grew tired of the food, and the neets grew sick from lack of anime. The massively biased man to woman ratio also makes an effect.

With no sign of any help from the rest of the world, they quickly realise they will not survive long if any disease breaks out.

They start to fight and divide into groups. Many died from murder and disease.

Slowly the populace transformed into a new tribal culture based on the holy artefacts of modern hammer, saw and axe. They will whisper of the legendary infinite knowledge of the all knowing 4chan. A hunter gatherer society arise from the few remaining families, and humanity basically gone back 10,000 years.

Two generations later, the rising sea level flooded the island, killing all remaining anon and anonsons.

Two thousand years later, Tesla explorers from Mars will uncover a strange island in the middle of the sea, with nothing but some remains of a primitive society. All will be forgotten, except the cast iron dildo a random anon secretly produced and carefully preserved with wax and amber, which is now a display in a poly crystal casing in the Old Planet Museum on the orbit of Earth, titled "OP's favourite toy", a name that is found carved on the artefact itself.

We let dome fag build us a shelter then we off him.

heres a video of it running unloaded. i may need to step up the engine size because when i put it under very high load (at least 150 amps pulled by the inverter) it bogs the engine super hard even at wide open throttle to the point where it bent the brackets and shredded the belt because of the misalignment.

Here's a project i just completed today.
I took two separate pens and made them completely inseparable.

I call it...
The double-pen.

>>1079601
I see no apple.
I see no pineapple.

Use a couple of mortise and wedged tenons with some 2x4s, easiest by far

>>1094779
I plan on making them out of 3/4" plywood. I'm not sure how I would incorporate that sort of joinery into the design. How would I set it up to join two workbenches temporarily using that? It will need to be flush on both sides.

>>1094702
Use 2 of each on the front/back.

The d@mp cloth might be making the dust clump up. Try blowing the dust off instead.

If that's not working, then you need to spend more time on each grit, although it this point you can probably skip 90.

>>1094685
You're raising the grain by using a damp cloth. Hit it again with your higher grit papers, just a quickie to knock off the fuzz. Try to sand against the fuzz. If you're not using water based finish then wipe the dust off with a dry cloth and apply finish. If you're using water based finish go ahead and raise the grain again, then sand down one more time, then apply finish.

>>1094688
>>1094697
You were both right, thanks!
The piece is nice and smooth now.
Not going to finish until I make and attach the the door, but I'm confidant it'll look good.
Planning on using MinWax BTW.

Also requesting any farming/gardening tips and construction ideas.
My apologizes if this is a repost, but I was so excited to ask.

What?

Pallets can have over a ton stacked on them. And since you'd need at least 3 americans to go over that an no more than 2 would fit on a single step, it's sound engineering.

This wouldn't have happened underground in shipping containers.

'clamp' by rolling the beam part way around the bearing and securing it with a slightly larger cut tube

>>1094431
You can roll carbon fibre?

>>1094452
you cant?

a sheet should be a little pliable

And put a better speaker on the module. The usb modules let you choose the recording quality.

>>1094323
It isn't just a shitty speaker in a shitty enclosure, typically the rest of the module sucks as well. Modules with longer recording times tend to suck more.
Ones with MP3 support are usually better.

Bumping cause high beams. Lol.

Not super creative but ended up TOPKEK tier prank. Nobody knows how to shut a fucking door when it's 4 degrees outside so I put 3 damned springs on it.

My most favorite thing in the world is watching people try and open it 3 times or get flat tired by it closing on them.

Mutherfuckers.

All could be avoided if u lazy cunts could be bothered to close a fucking door.

>>1094398
hey thats pretty smart lol

>>1094558
Well, it shitshow now. Mutherfuckers think they are smart trying to prop it open in 13 degree weather with an electric heater on. I told them there is room for 50 more fucking springs

Must it be a bell?

A lot of variables go into the bells resonant frequency.

A chime or a fork is a lot easier to tune, a chime is as simple as cutting pipe to length and taking a few measurements at a few lengths to work out the formula, which can get you very close and you just grind down the last bit to tune it exactly.

It must be a bell. Bells are beautiful and it's a gift.

>>1094165
set up an arduino to play 921hz tone inside the bell when the hammer makes contact with the sides.

Someone had a shitty router jig. You can clean it up with a router and a proper jig. I think that's what you're asking.

>>1094109
Yeah, it was all done with most primitive technologies, as I had no other tools to use.

I was looking for more of a visual solution. I've read somewhere that you can mix epoxy with splinters and repair it like that, but I'm not sure if I remember it correctly.

If I did it, it would probably glue those parts together right?

That is lovely. Unfortunately I'll be living in an apartment for the next decade so no forging for me. Unless I go build one at parents house?

thanks:)
I was rushed while making it, it would have been so much better had I taken the time, guess just have to make a new one.

btw, if you search around you might be able to find a hackerspace/makerspace/open garage/whatever that have an anvil and a fire.

Plus, with a propane or electric oven you can easily forge small things in a garage or storage box.

Dude. You are trying to nigger rig a retaining wall.

Don't. Don't reinvent the wheel.

Look up retaining wall constructions.

Also, you don't put a plastic sheet like that, it won't drain like that.

Also, your drawing means fuck all without proper dimensioning. Information on ground condition and nearby vegetation will be important also.

>>1094000

my original idea was to just build a big concrete form and do a massive concrete block

>>1094000

would I be better off just splitting the base into two 5' walls instead?
