That's not something you bang out in a weekend.
That's a lot of beadwork, which unless you buy the beaded parts pre-made it's gonna take you a while, especially if you don't have experience.
Check out forums for north American first nations ceremonial garb.
You might also be able to find some stuff if you search up Order of the Arrow regalia, but a lot of that is lodge specific and held close to the chest.

Be warned that some people get really pissed off about "cultural appropriation" when people other than Indians wear these.

How did you get rid of it (backne) I'm in my early twenties and I'm trying to get rid of it too

>>1192937
Not entirely sure, I did start eating healthy and exercising but who knows If that's related and I didn't just grew out of it.

Look into water fasting pizzanon.
I've just skimmed a couple of google searches and there's plenty out there, but I originally heard about it in some youtubers 30 day fast video.
It was just an amazing aside he mentioned, a small scar on his arm completely vanished & he felt great after day 1 yada yada.

It's probably worth doing your research first, seems the fuck ups happen when you break the fast & die of burger overdose.

I'm familiar with aluminum rolls, work at a few different mills. You do know how big the fuckers are, right? You have what you need to handle them?

>>1186612
coil is for cable
sheet comes in rolls
any sheet thickness you could roll up, plate you can't that the difference.
bulk buying may not necessarily get you better prices above a small amount. potentially delivery costs could be optimised.

if you want a quote ask a company for one.

>>1186612
Unless you're building a cruise liner, the overhead for storing/handling/shipping bulk rolls of aluminum will far exceed the money you're saving from buying bulk

Whenever you push the pins, the shit inside the case flexes. Eventually something breaks. This "something" is quite likely a wire and with some luck you now have a loose wire at mains potential inside the case. Short circuit and fire are possible.

I am not familiar with that style of electrical plug so I don't know what is wrong with it. That said if it is damaged it should be replaced. It is a simple matter to add a new plug to a cord. I make extension cords and replacement power cords all the time. It is one of the simplest wiring jobs you can do and easy for a beginner to learn.

screw it open and show us its guts ?

>HEY GUYS IM PRINTING "DONALD TRUMP MAGA FOREVER" ON MY AR-15 RECEIVER IS THIS PRODUCT GOOD FOR IT!??!?!??!?!?

just do bigger text if it doesnt have the necessary precision for 12pt you fuck, stop trying to print the entire tea party tract on your tiny little ejection port cover

>>1203614
Sorry about your tiny hands. I was just asking if anyone had done anything similar and could offer some tips.

thats between 4-5mm, thats p small, i dont know if ive successfully done that small but thats p small for a cameo. it all depends on how well you know your machine, and what stock material you are using, in the cameo software you will need to optimize settings for small text specifically. if the plotter is moving in ways the drag knife cant rotate on, it will fuck it up. i set it with a slight overcut to avoid some of this. a sharp blade is important, and different blades with different cutting angles also help. your stock material is also important, are you even cutting stickers or what because im basing all of this off sticker material. dont use the printer brand shit, last time i bought it, it was shit quality and lifted off the backing a lot while cutting. you also need to optimize your text to do the best cuts possible, if it looks hard to cut it probably is.
i have also had a lot of success electro etching using a cameo, pic related, also to scale

Not doing whole house ICF. The only possible reason I can imagine that you wouldn't build ICF is that you have a gas well on your property and it gives you lifetime free gas.

>>1203423

Strongly considering ICF or some other variant. Biggest limitation is that there aren't a ton of contractors who are comfortable with it. Even the ones who advertise say they have limited experience.

Also, with building costs going up, the upfront cost of ICF bites into how much house we can get.

In case anyone else is saying "what is ICF" like I was...


What are ICFs?

Insulating Concrete Forms are also known as “ICFs” and often referred to as “Insulated Concrete Forms.” ICFs are created by integrating a high-density plastic structural web embedded in two outer layers of Expanded Polystyrene ,”EPS”, or Extruded Polystyrene, “XPS” foam. This web provides a support structure for each side of the form and for reinforcing materials. The wall is created by sandwiching concrete between each of these layers. Designed to provide stronger, more comfortable, quiet and highly energy-efficient structures; they are easy to construct and their lifespan is hundreds of years longer compared to regular construction methods.

First idea off the top of my head is kinda crazy, but that's where great ideas sometimes originate: could you use the arduino as a base to fab a tiny microwave? There's another thread where anon is making his own keypad, so that work is already in progress.

How would one make a SAFE immersion heater.

>>1202757
you want it hot or you want it boiling?
I think the most efficient way is pressurizing it and heating a little

Do you have experience with some sort of programming , or you going from scratch ?

Are you planing to make it 3D , 2D or use some dinky drag and drop game maker

Why does it have to be on a raspberry pi ? Why not make an executable ?

Lastly, what is the pi running (os wise) ?

I've had exepricne with only programming VEX robotics and nothing else but I don't believe that would help so I'm starting from scratch. Also I'm planing to make it 2D because it's simple to do rather than the process of creating models for 3D or from the tacky copy and paste of game makers. It has to be on a Raspberry Pi since she isn't around computers often also she rather hold the game she was playing. With the Pi I could make a portable game she could take anywhere on the go (usually she's pretty active).Lastly the Pi's operating system is Raspbian with NOOBS but I can change it.

You can use C++ with SDL. It will handle most of what you want to do (displaying graphics, handling input, sound, text rendering, etc.).

I'm personally a fan of the electric furnace:
https://youtu.be/Cte_LSYflAE
Which is apparently cheaper to run than a coal furnace, but getting the parts to build it will run up your expenses quite a bit.

Should work for an anvil, at least its not a huge investment if you decide the hobby isn't for you after a couple of goes. You will need to mount it to a big lump of tree though, which shouldn't be too hard or expensive to do.

Propane is much easier to manage temperatures with, (you can see the metal's temperature colours), cleaner and it tends to be a easier to live with. Just fire it up, get to temp, turn it off when you're done... coal, not so much, plus there's ash, smoke and shit everywhere. Which is ok if you're in the country or an industrial area, but not so friendly in a city

You will also need hammers, tongs, files, vise and a shitload of abrasives. An angle grinder, drill press and bench grinder also helps for prep and finish

>>1202273
I see people online using a bench-mounted belt-sander instead of a bench grinder, typically the vertical ones.

>>1202010
papier mache on a balloon?
if you aren't artsy enough to figure that out yourself then you will be cheaper just buying one. rent one possibly?

go to goodwill and spend the 2 dollars on a helmet. WTF man.

>>1202010
buy one at the thrift store for 50 cent
scrap off the mites and it's good to go

> What are curtains

curtains, blinds or buy a sheet of car window tint.
This isnt thread worthy OP.

I hang up blankets and cardboard over mine so my cunt of a neighbor doesn't try and watch me when I'm jerking off.

I've not seen a ceramic or galvanised drum in a washing machine for a very long time, simply put yes there are problems using either of those two types and stick to good old fashioned stainless steel

>>1200824
Fire in a front load washer you say?
https://youtu.be/CbRjjn-DIWA

>>1200827

Is it quite easy to tell the difference between gal and stainless? It's a uniform metallic looking drum, nothing like pic related.
Also, it'd be easy to tell if it was ceramic coated yeah?

>>1200830
If only I had a torch and didn't live in the suburbs.

>>1200416
It's metal.

Google the brand (Vulcan) and you'll get plenty of detailed info from blacksmithing forums which is where you should go for smithing info.

>Why am I starting to like these fucking things?
Well they are pretty great for shipping large amounts of things. Storage also.

Can't help you if you've started to sexualise them.

The leak comes from the rubber connection I believe

You just take the unscrew the nut on the entire drain and replace the entire thing.

A new brass drain with a chrome finish is only like $15 and all you need is some plumbers putty and a pair of tongue groove pliers

>>1203102
I've done just that. The drain you see is a brand new quality $15 home depot special.

Did I install it unevenly or something? It seems like one side has more lip than the other perhaps?
