depends on where you live.
It's different by state, county, and even city sometimes.

This. Typically, if you build it on a trailer, you can classify it as a temporary structure, and ignore a lot of building code bullshit. That's what most people do when they build these tiny house cucksheds.

This chart says I should be using a 1/8" straight bit. Can anyone confirm this to be accurate?

>>1200790
Hold the drill bit up in front of the screw, with the shank of the bit in line with the threaded portion of the screw. If you can see the threads, but little to no shank, poking out behind the bit on both sides of it you're good to go. Hope that makes sense.

can confirm, that is the best way

>>1200784
you can't

Hand tools. Buy used from CriagsList, garage/estate sales, local auctions and, if you catch a screaming deal for some reason, eBay. Avoid newer hand tools. Anything made after 1970 or so falls into one of two categories: cheap shit from Asia and high end very expensive made in the West. You can't afford the latter and you don't want the former.

Get a miter box. Picture related, not some plastic piece of shit either. I've picked up old ones in useable shape for $10 with the saw. Millers Falls, Stanley and Goodell/Goodell-Pratt made good ones that are easy to find. They use what is called a 'backsaw'.

Saws: Disston made the gold standard of hand saws. They made millions of them. Anything made before HK Porter bought them out is good. They are plain steel so you can sharpen them yourself with just a triangular file. So, don't let a dull one that is cheap scare you off. They can be sharpened hundreds of times, so practice practice practice. YouTube for instructions.

Hand drills: North Bros (and later Stanley, who bought them out) and Millers Falls. All good quality drills and tools in general.

That is really all you need to get started. In general, any tool made by Stanley before the 1970s or so will be good. Millers Falls is just a step behind them in quality. Many Craftsman woodworking tools were made for them by these two companies so keep and eye out for them too.

YouTube can teach you everything you need to know. Paul Sellers on YouTube know his hand tools. The Woodwright's Shop (PBS show) is great for some inspiration. Learn how to search to find what you need. If you want more help than that from us you are probably going to need to pick a project, research it, and come back if you get stuck. Otherwise, this thread is probably going to turn into a tool brand pissing contest, people telling you to google it, or just telling you to give up entirely.

Stop living in an apartment, and don't tell me you can't there's a fuck ton of non city jobs out there.

Pretty neat concept. But given the availability of propane and other fuels there is no need. Also it's rather inefficient as it requires large amounts of wood. But it's an interesting idea. It would certainly be something to know how to build should society collapse. However most among would be living in shipping containers and living off imitation crab meat anyway.

gas the wood, plant war now

I think the need depends on the situation. If you're homesteading and have tons of trees you want to cut down, then it'd be pretty legit. Or if you want a back up heating system/generator fuel system for the apocalypse.

heres the graph.

I will buy a game of 10 dollars ( keys for cs go, whatever the fuck) just post the solution with a fake email and ill deliver some links with the shit

>>1200498
once it works ofc...

What part of the explanation you don't understand?

>>1200399
You want an air conditioner really.
I think some Dyson fans do cold as well as heat? But I wouldn't buy one out of principle

>>1200399
low humidity area? one of those swamp coolers maybe

otherwise a enclosed tent with a A/C and a decent generator (5+KW)

>>1200399
any kind of fan/air movement is good in heat - you start with AC and shit tho, you can probably reconfigure your gennie requirements, cooling for food/drink, etc.? - an HF noise and fumes special aint gonna cut it. You building there anyway, get the power on if poss, my advice.

dont make a cafe racer

>>1200371
were the chinese kids on strike?
take it to welder shop if you dont know what to do

>>1200371
>electrocution kit
that's only a risk if you jam the welding rod in your anus and put the ground clamp on your tongue

that cable gauge looks fine, and you're supposed to wrap the strands with the copper and the screw clamps down on it, but are the cables really like ~2 feet long???

>>1200298
Oh and when I say 'stay out of the field of view' I mean when the shutter is open.

>>1200298
copy an iris from a camera, those can usually be actuated with a solenoid/spring

>>1200303
Nope, the ring containing the iris/aperture parts would be seen within the 180 degree field of view.

It would need to be some kind of assembly that flipped up from below the side of the lens. Likely not possible

>>1200223

I bet you're a bit fat american with more folds than /po/

>>1200223
Measure it with calipers or such then head to your local state surplus and pick up a similar base (w/ chair) for about $20. Keep in mind some cylinders taper some dont so make sure you get the right type base. If you go a little to big you can always pad the cylinder out to fit.

>legs snapped
most of the time /diy/ doesn't give you the solution you want, but the solution that you need.
In this case, it's a gym membership

keep your mouth shut unless absolutely necessary
think about what you are saying before you say it
is how you should go in. able minded people watch, learn and adapt to fit in better with other people, mimic small parts of their language, grammar, gestures to show subconsciously that they are interested in whatever shite the other person is blabbing on about

What to wear? Shirt and sweater like pic related? With some jeans and gumboots/work boots?

I had a phone interview today. I tried to fake being really optimistic, meanwhile I'm like full blood pessimist where life is meaningless. I think it went pretty well.

In any case I think you should just come in wearing nice and clean stuff, like dockers khaki pants and a shit with a few buttons on the collar, but not all the way down. Plain sneakers are fine as long as they aren't like crazy red color or something that is going to get attention.

you want ugly? fiberglass is your shit.

Make a honeycomb out of 1/4" ply wood and lay up the fiber.

To make the honeycomb of wood, you have to take sections from the 3d design and place them every 250cm.

then you do at least two layers of fiber, and epoxy, followed by a 80grit shaping and a gel coat.

If you are really this clueless look up how to make a small sailboat, there are books at the thing callled a biblioteca. Maybe they call it "library" in your part of the third world?

Check out this guy's fibreglass dashboard work - he does armour as well...

Anon get a junkyard dash or build a center console first to practice.

Staple a wood frame with feace or old sweartshirts to soak up the resin. Than lay 2 layers at a time of mat over it until your happy with it. Sand and bondo amd paint or hit it with 60 grut and rhino liner it.

I would put them from back to front

i would use these.
attach front and lid together, mount lamps to that.
print on mesh rack in the middle of the box mounted at the bottom, not touching the sides.

>>1199931
Not a bad idea,

what do you mean by attach front and lid together tho.

Simply keep jabbing and scraping at it, like the google results all seem to suggest?

I think the back is completely covered in the silicone as well, so that would take literal hours, and may very well damage the surface.

Or is there a solvent or something?

Fire needs 3 things, heat air fuel. Fire isn't one of those 3 things. Autoignition happens at a set temperature for a set material.

Work out what temperature your wire will reach and find an insulator that won't melt at that temperature. Ceramic probably, maybe wood in a pinch.
Even metal as long as it doesn't have enough time to heat up to melt whatever it's touching. Blowtorch is basically all metal but your hands don't burn do they?
Not enough energy to heat the whole thing because it loses heat too. Trial and error if you can't do the maths.
Electrical insulators are also heat insulators, that's a tip if you are looking for glass or ceramic insulators.

Spudgun builder here. Are you fucking high? Get a pump and a sprinkler valve. This is retarded.
