I'm not talking about electric or carpentry, something simple such as bricklaying or plastering. I am pretty sure I'm dyscalculic, I learn numbers very slowly. (I add on my fingers, etc)
any /tradesmen/ here who could give advise..or hope?
Shouldn't be too hard. Don't expect to rise through any ranks too quickly if you don't show any initiative for management or people skills.
But getting by as a labourer should be simple enough. If you can follow set measurements already given on a blueprint, you should be successful enough.
>>1175376
Honestly, it's following measurements that fucks me over, and applying them to the actual project

How do I get my soap to be as foamy as this picture? I have a pressure washer and it never comes out as this, I always get a very watery soap. How do I make it this foamy.
Look up snow foam. Its usually in a container that you can attach to a hose or pressure washer.
>>1175313
well i guess your question is answered, snow foam, just make sure you use a snow foam sprayer thing, the bottle and nozzle the guy is holding in the picture. i tried putting snow foam soap through a karcher k4 into the detergent bottle that you can buy things for and it completely fucked it up, the pressure cutoff piston jammed then broke so it doesn't turn on at all now, waiting on a replacement part.
the foam has a mixing guide and you can adjust the water/foam ratio by twisting the nozzle and knob on top usually.
if it immediately falls off your car and doesn't stick on then congratulations, it clings to dirt so it just means your car is really clean already!
Hello, I'm trying to build the diy version of pic related(wall farm), so far I have some ideas in mind and a budget of over 2000 euros.
This is the first time that I try to do something so complex, no experience with gardeing at all, no experience with large furniture... so any advice is welcome.
I want to build it with some doors(no idea what kind of doors or enclosing) maybe so I can avoid the annoying light without having to power off if I want to take a nap for example, so I would need some ventilation and negative air pressure somewhere, as silent as possible.
Has anyone done something similar? What wood should I use?(should I use wood in the first place?)
The idea is to play with some arduino and arduino sensors and maybe create an android app or web server so I can control and check it remotely (water deposit/light/temperature/humidity/anything else?)
I'm planning on getting some of this lights from Phillips:
http://www.lighting.philips.com/main/products/horticulture/city-farming
But if you guys anything better, I'll listen.
My goal is to have some vegetables at home, hopefully enough to cover half of my personal intake, not sure if that's realistic.
>>1175302
This post is very suspicious. Is op growing weed?
>>1175302
I've built one. Used modified bunk bed plans and T5 lighting. Use aquatic water. Don't have fish directly in the system. Caught a mouse and now he lives in the tank.
>>1175485
No need to assume things that aren't there, we can't discuss indoor gardening because someone might be growing weed?
There's a lot of other plants that can be grown indoors.
But OP, I suggest you check out the homegrowmen threads on /out/.
Hello /diy/ . I'm building an electric skateboard. Now the problem I have run into is choosing the right ESC. I have 0 knowledge about ESCs, like what specs am I looking for etc. the only thing I kinda get is how to program them, kinda. If any could shed some light about ESCs that would be wonderful.
Now I'm also concerned with, how I'm gonna break on the skateboard.
For steering, I'm gonna use a toy car remote something like this(I have seen people do it with this remotes, and they just plug the transmitter into the ESC and it works.)
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/quanum-2-4ghz-3ch-pistol-grip-tx-rx-system.html
I'm using this motor
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-4240-620kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html
And this batterie
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-5000mah-5s-30c-lipo-pack.html
Any help and tips are welcome.
Electric skateboards thread?
Put your Li-po and motor specs in the ESC filter and buy the one that says "BEC".
>>1175305
And where is this filter? I can't find it.
>>1175298
>For steering, I'm gonna use a toy car remote
your picture is a combustion engine board
you describe and electric scateboard
you talk about steering it with fucking rc car parts?
get your head in the game knobbo, it doesn't matter how you drive a scateboard you steer it by leaning which turns the chucks, what you propose is retarded.
$85.00 at costco. What do you guys think good purchase or shit?

Help with Duplicating my lost key?
I know the bitting code but what I don't know is what the cut before the actual butting does or if I need it in my new copy, photo of key related
Give it back, Jamal
Not Jamal but if I was I wouldn't have taken pictures of my keys for backups
It's a cut for a pin.
I got this lighter off of ebay the other day.
It's a replica of Leon's lighter from Resident Evil 2. Limited edition, #414 of 1000, but I love it so much that I want to use it for EDC instead of leaving it on a shelf. Plus it's an actual Zippo so it works very reliably. I'm worried about the logo, though. It's stamped/embossed/whatever instead of just being painted on, so it's less likely to rub off, but I'd rather protect it if I can.
Which is less likely to damage the paint?
-scotch tape / packing tape
-clear fingernail polish
I know the tape will wear out and have to be reapplied, and won't look as good as a clear coat of fingernail polish or other paint, but I'm afraid to find out the hard way that the paint/polish will smear the paint.
you're a morbidly obese smoker. maybe you should re-think a few things
>which is less likely to damage the paint
make up your mind, is it a collectible to you or not? if you take something put of the box that rests on the shelf that you have for collectible things you're willing to drop it down a drain or have it bent or mangled
it's fucking life you WILL put wear and tear on it you're not different from anybody else
>>1174996

fucksake anon, OP here just came to ask his question, get some advice and get on with his life. Coloring don't so look hot either tho but, now you mention it.
What would be the best way to make a patch of soil more fertile for planting? Trying to get the soil a lot less clumpy. Thinking about getting a bunch of wood shavings and tilling it into the soil but I've heard thats not really a quick fix.
clay is the richest soil but most unworkable. sand is the most workable but holds the least water. loam holds the most water but has no structure. a combination of all three is the best soil.
you have clay with a significant portion of sand. it'll likely be rich in minerals butnseverely lacking in nitrogeneous compo8nds or any organic material. you need to add already broken down organic material (compost) or things that will break down quickly. the only problem is anything other than compost has weed seeds, will take ages to break down, is contaminated with something, or, in the case of wood chippings, will be a net negative for nitrogen.
you need to buy a metric shitton of compost and till it in. literally- manure compost is often some of the cheapest. find a llama ranch and get some or go to a dirt guy and get some regular compost. everything else will be cheaper, but will also bring you some kind of headache or not work at all. either spring for a single, spendy purchase of 1/2 a cubic foot of compost per square foot of land, rent a tiller, and till it in and forget about it, or kike out and do something else and get sucked into endless weeds or contaminated soil and eventually give up and curse the ground and what it grows
I'll be smiling down and laughing in the great garden in the sky
also buy a soil test you might need to balance P.H.
>>1174963
Just went to the dump.
They have mulch there.
$25 a ton.
A lot cheaper than bag after bag of $5 potting soil.
Check around, there's probably something like that near you.
Buy topsoil. 35$ a yard around here. don't even bother fucking around. Typical home needs like 5 yards and a load of wheelbarrows and rakes.
I accidentally posted this in /o/
Good day all. I am looking to buy a chainsaw for some land we are going to be cleaning up. I have never used a saw myself but my intention is to purchase one for the business and hire an experienced feller. I know I can ask the guy with experience what would be a good sized but I know the man is going to say I need something the size of an MS720 which is a hell of a lot of saw and pretty pricey in my country. Also the "professionals" in this country will amaze you with how little they know.
It is going to be primarily 40-50ft coconut trees and a lot of sea almond. Sea almond is pretty soft but older coconut trees can be a bitch to hack through even with a sharp cutlass and a skilled user. It's all open field/jungle so we can fell everything from the ground. I am thinking of getting a second hand pole pruner to supplement the saw for any trees that are to stay up but need cleaning.
I have been hearing good things about the MS440, which is available here and is Germany built, but the Brazilian built 381 has been catching my eye in size and prize.
Should I got with the 381 or grab the 440? The 440 won't break the bank but the difference in price affords oil and fuel for half the saw's job.
Also I can't go with Husqvarna as it doesn't exist here.
>>1174658
You already know what you want. You want use to talk you into so you feel better and blame 4chin when your wife gets pissed?
>>1174658
Where do you live where an MS 720 is allowed, it has no safety features at all. Here in Germany this saw would be forbidden to sell. The 440 is a good saw I own the 044C which is the predecessor and mainly the same as the 440. Pretty powerful and reliable because it is the professional series from stihl, it is 21 years old now. This year I got me the 461, and the 044 is now the backup saw, it has earned its retirement.
>>1174662
My inner Jew wants the 381 but the white man in me wants the 440. I usually follow the Jew but is it good enough for 200 hours of saw time right off the bat?
>>1174666
Thanks. Any experience with smaller saws?
>Where do you live where the 720 is allowed

Hello all!
I'm working on building my workbench and I've run into an issue I don't know how to go about approaching. In my picture I'm showing you the outside side panel on the bench with three screw holes I've dug out with a paddle bit. I'm wanting to hammer in these nuts here, but I'd like to put clear epoxy in the void. Or anything like a clear plastic type of compound that I am able to sand and also that won't spill out of the hole and fall to the floor once I fill it. Is there anything I can do to clear epoxy to make it able to go into a vertical board and not spill out, or does anyone have any better ideas that I could try out? Thanks a lot guys! I'm pretty new to this board and I'm absolutely loving it!
Here's another shot from straight on, if that helps at all.
Also, why are my pics loading sideways?
>>1174412
Basically you want to hide the screws heads?
Woodfiller
Wooden dowel/peg
Would be what I try first.
Currently have galvanized pipes in my home and noticed a small dripping pinhole leak that appears to have been "repaired" with epoxy by the previous resident.
Can I get by with a pipe clamp placed over the original crap repair until I can actually repair it or not? Also, do I need to sand down the epoxy or am I risking more damage by doing that?
Bamp
If its your house just replace the pipe with blueline. If its a rental get on to the owner.
>>1174359
House is mine.
I just need to seal it until I can part out the materials, time to start the project, etc.
Many of the lines have been replaced in PVC already. It's in the garage so I'm not worried about making it look sexy.
How do you remove the heel jaw on one of these? I've beat the ever living shit out of it with a hammer and punch and it won't budge.
>>1174319
you can't
Grind down the head on one side

Take what's holding the jaw to a grinding wheel. You have to brake the tool.
Can I just easily spraypaint a shirt? I want something similiar to pic related just in white, my idea was since its such a simple logo to just cut it out in cardboard and then spraypaint over it.
Does anyone know how well that works, in regards to washing etc.?
>>1174307
Inkjet (PC printer) Iron On Transfers
is idea better, spray-on, be a fucking mess.
You'll want to make sure you spray thinly from a distance so that the paint doesn't bleed too much outside the lines
What happens if I try to rit dye a jacket that is 85-90% nylon and 10-15% spandex? Rit's website seems to say that it doesn't work on spandex.
Is there a better way to do it?
>>1174296
Bump.
Should I ask this in FA?
>>1174296
It would look?
Amazing
What color will you dye it Op?
I recommend orange. Maybe just paint it if the dye doesn't work which it totally will
>>1174387
Mine is actually all black. I was going to try a light green to make it dark green or something. I know I don't really have a lot of options with it being black.
What do you mean by painting it?
Hi, is there anyone who knows this component?
I search since two hours and I don't find anything
>>1174273
Rectifier
makes AC ~ into DC +/-
It's a rectifier. Consists out of four diodes. In a lot of applications easy to replace with a 'pi times thumb' part.
>>1174281
Technically, a Full Wave Bridge Rectifier
Also get better potatocam or type the data from the top of that fuzzy bugger. That and look for numbers around the device.
