>nichrome wire for cutting plywood

what made you think this was a good idea?

>>1235955
When you run electricity through them they get extreemely hot. Even the thinnest ones cut real clean and smooth through 2-3mm thickness. Would be a good way to cut forms without any wood dust you get witv saws.

>>1235969

exactly. and for thicker wood, say 3/4" or so, I use an oxy-acetylene torch. fuck saw dust.

Please help

That little hole in the center is where you stick a tiny flathead screwdriver and finangle it around till it unlocks

probably

what side are the hinges on

get one with the mower on the front instead of the middle

you will hate those other in no time, so shitty to reach corners and you're always driving over the grass you're about to cut

>>1234933

Also when you back up over your child they have a couple more feet for you to stop when you start wondering what that bump was all about

I got a Craftsman tractor type mower for free (wouldn't start; I was paid to haul it to the dump) with a 20hp Kholer engine. After a little TLC it's been running flawlessly for 6 years. The motor has 1,800 hours on it with regular maintenance all done in my garage. Every year I drag a 48" plug aerator over ~20 acres of lawns in my neighborhood and it's beefy enough to run two 21" mulching blades through thick crab grass. I have no complaints with it at all. They have all sorts of attachments for it including snow plows and frontload scoops, not to mention the massive amount of shit you can tow with it.

It's an antique lighter, and it also has a wind up music box inside.

Yes it is brass. No there is no way to remove the scratches without damaging the texture. The damage is done.

>>1234829
Not brass. It's coated or plated with something.

It'll be an inch and a quarter or inch and a half P trap.
I'd expect you have more troubles than that, but try and replace the wall bend as well.
If it flows fine after that, I'm very surprised, but make sure you fill the sink with hot water and then let it drain down every week, since you are dumping that much soap etc.

Dunno about your OCD, whether it's cleanliness or just the act of washing your hands, but if you can handle it, be prepared to snake it at the wall after pulling off the wall bend if you still have slow drain.

There's some shit that grows inside some rare shower drains, slowly growing from the walls of the pipe inward, until as little as 1/2 inch is open.
I don't know what it is, but it's like concrete or grout.
I usually have to just turn the shower on full hot, aimed at the wall, then stand over the drain with a pipe or water curb key, pounding it into that shit over and over like a concrete pile driver. It comes off in chunks or flakes. and washes down.
Snaking can't do shit to it. To get it off the pipe fully, you'd have to get down there with a hammer and chisel.
It shrugs off sulfuric acid, clorox, other shit customers try first, cables, and doesn't afraid of anything.

The red outline has always looked like that even when new. That's why my suitcase hooked on it.

throw a small section of corner bead on there, then mud over that?

>>1233690
just go and get similar style white edging, install it down the side and along that wall. Anchor it to the flooring and wall, you should be good to go.

Every fucking week. There is a thread about drive types in the catalog. For sure. Fucking retard. Post something about shipping containers or gtfo

with robertson you're more likely to break the head right off. it's generally the bits that strip not the screw. torx are great unless they rust then the cock suckers will strip every single time

>>1233083

Why not flathead? They never strip if you use the proper driver and torque.

>>1232299
Put it in a blender.

So you've failed at life and now you're looking at moving in a literal shit metal box.

That's your solution? A shed loft? Jesus

If the wire is intact superglue will work fine as it partially melts plastic welding it together.

Do you think this is a good alternative if supergluing doesn't work/last?
I plan on gluing the plastic/wood in place

>>1237350
Do you mean making the part on the head-strap out of wood or the hinge pin? The part would probably work fine but for the pin you are going to want metal, a piece of TIG rod would work well.

>find some pictures of the thing and then go laser engrave it or stamp it
I doubt you can order them from the manufacturer, so how you say, da.

if you really want to restore it properly look into hand scraping, Jan and stefan G have some pretty good videos on the subject

A second grill
A crucible
A foundry
A flower pot
A water troth

>>1236982

put it in your shipping container bunker for extra water storage for when it caves in and traps you inside

>>1236987
Lol that's a shed

>>1235717
I love them, I let them build nests outside of my garage so that they can kill all of the other bugs.

No, but I just holocausted 7-10 hornets nests around my house after being gone for a month. Was very satisfying to wake up this morning and see my deck littered with hundreds of corpses of these bastards.
