Contact the company and see if they can just send a new one or buy one from them.

You can have your friend at the specialist metalworks shop laser cut or mill them for you for a few grand probably
Or, buy replacement auto-tuning pegs from Gibson for $40

Pfft these gears are made of plastic, no way I'm shelling out $40 for this cheap crap after I've seen how they're made on the inside

Thanks though, I can use this for the worst case scenario

>>1197733
Nest.

>>1197740
what?

>>1197740
Good call.

OP clearly isnt capable of doing it himself

Not sure what you could use, but what kind of skates are you working with?

hacksaw

this place is useless for anything other than turning screws

No insider info, just an observation from someone with a decaying deck. When the impregnated supports are going it's less a restore and more a rebuild. In my country all ground posts are hardwood at least, but you burgers don't seem to build like that.

If the decking is hard wood you could reuse that, but everything else will likely be scrap.

PS. sawdust from pressure treated wood is nasty shit.

to something more sturdy, like a workbench anchored to the wall and/or floor.

or you can put it anywhere on that thing that you like, using C-clamps or bolts.

what does a woodworker need a grinder for?

>>1197697

to sharpen tools.

Are they good enough to sell as gun stock blanks?

>>1197525
>>1197528
Ummmm.. They are like 1/4th inch thick. And widest are 1 3/4" they are small! Haha. I do know where a huge piece of live oak that's splated lives that could be used as a gunstock probably.. But I'd need to buy a chainsaw because I only have an electric one and this big piece is in the woods on the ground. Maybe I'll get a picture tomorrow.

Just know how this thing work and then u can say it by yourself

Lol, it's just a regular switch. It either turns, makes a connection, then goes back to it's off state (a momentary switch),
Or it turns and stays on until you turn it back (like a light switch). It's rated for 1/2 hp (about 10 amps).

There are tons and tons of options once you find out if it's momentary or not. You may have to drill out the mount hole for a push button style. Let me know if it's momentary or not.

>>1197261
Ohh, and please post the model or schematic if you have it. You didn't even post the model number of the switch you dick. It was hard to read that number.

http://espressobin.net + any wifi mini-PCIe card

But seriously if you want all that in one package just buy a cheap router.

Form factor
Performance
Cost

Pick any two.

Netgate appliances running pfsense will get you there but for about 800 usd.

Seriously consider seperating out wireless access points as a seperate piece of hardware you deploy where youll get best coverage or need. Look into the unifi ap's for a decent cheap alternative to the enterprise grade cisco's

Wow who cut that roof... Fucking I could cut a straighter line with a pair of kids safety scissors.

I wouldn't do that OP.. It will look really funny. Because where the existing post are at. And where the end of the cement Slab ends. Unless you're willing to remove those post and install single ones? They don't really look like they are bearing any weight besides the roof itself over the porch. And half of it looks to be supported by the house...

extend less than this though

>>1197030
The porch will feel much smaller with a fence.

You know people might help you if you didn't use a picture of a rueben.

>>1196863
Are you going to help me or bitch about my choice of sandwhich?!!

>>1196865
That's an excellent choice of sandwich.

If I were you I'd be looking at jobs that are related to ag but not actually working on a farm. See if you can get into agricultural banking or something.

Are you a fucking child?

>>1196859
it is summer

>>1196868
Some days I want the nukes to drop so the world freezes over and all the kids can stay in school and my chimney sweep qualification can come into play.

>mfw this is the type of dangerous horse shit people have to think of when manufacturers put non removable batteries in their phones

How about buying a phone that actually has features you want?

>>1196644
Can you please start a list of phones with factory batteries over even 30Wh that are 5.5 inches or smaller then?

That is the feature I want, and to get it, I must build it.

>>1196644
I may have misread you. I plan on using a galaxy S5, which has a removable battery.

a servo is just a feedback loop.
controller commands motor, motor moves encoder, encoder informs controller.
you tell controller what to do and it compares the target with the actual to do its dirty business.

ok so.

first of all what most people imagine doing the encoding is a potentiometer, a variable resistor used as a voltage divider or something and the wiper gives you the position. if you have played with a potentiometer you know mostly they don't rotate 360 never mind past that.

ok so either there is some kind of clutch/slip/voodoo allowing the pot to overrun or its a special pot. or it could be something like a rotary encoder perhaps.

fine.

so why does it spin? well the logic in the controller is simple, if the commanded position is > actual position then turn the motor one way otherwise turn it the other way.

you can also have some element of error to stop it hunting or trying to find a position more acurrate than it is capable of doing but thats not important.

so when you say <90 i would expect that possibly it is set up as 90 degrees being actually 0 and 270 being whatever high number the encoder can output. that is scaling to get most accuracy. precision? no accuracy. yeah accuracy. some smart guy will post the archery targets or some shit dont worry.

so when it is set to below 90 and tries to move there the encoder probably rolls over to the highest number possible (its just how computers do maths - google overflows) so the servo is still trying to get to <90 but now it thinks its at fucking 270 or whatever. so it will go down to 90 and guess what? happens again. forever and ever.

so yeah.

but also you can get servos to rotate any angle with a potentiometer by use of gears to ratio the number of output shaft turns to the encoder turns. more turns for a reduction in precision if you think about it right?

most hobby servos do that set angle because thats what you need for rc cars and planes and shit.
big servos can turn all day long

>>1196174
So.. to summarize, 0-89 degrees is out of bounds and it spergs?

>>1196176
i guess?, check the spec!

>>1196001
See if you can find one of the SST rewriteables, wire it on a breadboard with your micro of choice.

>>1196006
Thanks for the idea. I have nary an arduino etc to play with tho

Any college electronics lab would have multiple pic/eeprom programmer. Email one of the teachers and see if their game to help.

Dunno how to order this shit for the small timer, but my shop used to order it so we could repair our own ladders.

Some guys milked their ladder repairs for an all day job though and they decided they would rather just order new ladders, so they stopped letting us order it.

>>1195991
Otherwise you could probably just use some fiberglass clearcoat stuff used in normal fiberglass work which I don't really know the right terms for.

Sell it and get an aluminium ladder. Gorrila probably makes the best ladder for the money.
