Not 100% sure anon, but it looks like they type of nuts I've seen on kitchen sinks. I've only had to deal with it a couple of times, but I used pic related to deal with them. Do a search for Do-all plumbers wrench. This one is made by Plumbest for ~$20-25ish.

Or just cut it off and replace.

hammer and chisel loose then unsrew by hand.

>>1155096
I did consider cutting it off because I don't plan on reusing the part any how. I'll take a look at that wrench. It doesn't look adjustable so I'm not sure if it will fit?

Cock sucking functionality?

you do know the board merger thing is an april fools joke right? its april fools and you are the fool

It would appear that this is the source of the problem. Years of being a shit cooking and oven boiling has caused a build up of stuff drain down the back.

That sludge shit had been dripping down the back and landing directly onto the (thangy) connection point of the power to the element slowly corroding it, so I believe

Now this is the point that was sopose to connect to the element. Its sopose to have like a plate on it so I can screw it on to the element connection point

Try welding.

>>1150680
take up knitting

there are estate sales all the time with the stereotypical old people stuff, usually including yarn and other craft stuff

Its good that yiu are working in it and not chugging vodka like i have been. I tried paracording. Bracelets nmand shit sell but there is a lot of competition. Friends and family coukd buy enout that you break even. Shits like $7 fir a 100 foot bundle and endless colors. Even reflective and glow ina dark. Can get cheaper iff u buy more but you will want a fuckton of black and then other colors. The most handy hobby i ever had. I pait 20 bucks for 200 foot to wrap my steering wheel the other day.

Tried guitar for a week. But >muh salad fingers.

I tinker with Frankenstein mowers and shit.

Waising worms.

Aquariums are cheap and pets help.

Can dremel tool name or adress rocks.

Im into hotroding but its not cheap at all...

Keep fighting the good fight. There is a guy here that carves awesome walking sticks somewhere.

Oh, i used bored paracord on fb and online to get stuff. Nice guy. Has a paracord shop and hangs out in fb groups.

Go to Tips From A Shipwright channel on youtube and watch him build a skiff to get the general idea. Lot of work.

It will be fairly expensive any way you go.

>can you give me any pointers?
do your research and buy good plans / plueprins
what are the steps of making it?
buy good plans that hopefully come with a tutorial, follow it like it was the most completed thing ever bought from Ikea that also didn't come with the any of the parts and only half the instructions. don't cut corners and don't cheap out.
how much would something like this cost?
if you don't already have the workshop and tools plan on upwards of $400,000 (2 to 3 times what it would cost to buy a similar boat) and about 3-5 years if it's your first boat. materials will be less than 10% of this cost.

With boats, I believe it costs a minimum of Way More Than You Thought It Would. Whereupon you sell it to the next sucker.

Tell me more about this bridge

>>1155121
It runs across a small creek through a woods and to a field. Made mostly out of wood with a couple of metal bars that I salvaged from the surrounding woods

>>1155119
Solar panel + battery. Have the light come on with a photodetector. If the solar panel will ruin the look of the bridge just put it somewhere out of sight and run a wire to the light.

>>1155055
I'm bumping for some diy bros to help me out

>>1155055
Explain the question. You want to heat something so it glows? By having it absorb light?

>>1155071
No I have an office that flickers and hums with that shitty blue fluorescent light. I'm trying to get the softer, yellower, effect of incandescent.

No glass is bullet proof. Define your specs and we'll discuss it.

>>1155034
I'm reasonable. A glass able to stop a several .44s or a rifle round or two is what I'm looking for.

>>1155035
3" thick polycarbonate

>>1154992
Burn it.

>>1154992
The same way you keep every kind of fabric from fraying.

>>1154992
Fold the edge, and sew a hem. Easier to do that before sewing the pieces together.

>>1154890
Box cutter. Even it if is very thick you cut into it as far as you can. Then you can finish it with something else like a jigsaw. Otherwise, use a hotwire tool.

>>1154893
Where do I get a box cutter strong enough to cut through this?

The ones I have, the blades would just snap if I tried to cut this with those.

You need:
Dremel
Wood
Flat surface
Something to strap a Dremel down with. Rope works.

Screw a 1x1 to plywood and mount your Dremel over it. The idea is like a table saw, except the saw is above the object to be cut. This is a 5 minute ordeal that will give you better results. Put hinges on the 1x1 so it swings up to remove the object.
The 1x1 acts as a straight edge to keep your cuts even. Adjust your Dremel to your needed widths.

I would suggest you call my mate Ali...Ali Mohammed-din-barber

Would be cool to find an English Tutorial.

>too complicated
You can't make an egg without breaking a few omelettes. You need to have a pretty rigid frame in order for this sort of thing to work, and with wood you have to use complicated joinery. If you were hoping to turn your ikea bed frame into a riced-out hover-bike with a whale-tail, EL-wire, and +5 HP stickers then you're out of luck.

But if you had access to a little (a lot) 1"-2" x 1/8"-1/4" flatbar stock, I think you could bolt it around a wooden frame, on both sides, and make something rigid enough. But you'd have to completely redesign the position of the bed's feet.

But really, get serious or go home.

>Are there no "standard" SMPS control chips
Some chips are more popular than the others, but otherwise no.
>As for transformers
Those tend to be custom wound.

Use normal transformers and limit the switching stuff to the low voltage side instead.

Here is a circuit I have used many times. I have added a variable resistor the 5v side to make it have voltage variable.

>>1154435
>normal transformers
You mean those that accept 50 Hz? But they are huge.

Then F = grad( m \cdot B ) and bubs yer oncle

Right is right. Left is ... a bit retarded. But it should still work. Has someone broken off the feed-thru tab on one or both sides of that outlet?

>>1154248

I just checked all outlets. All tabs are there.

Do you have any advice on how to check which one (there's 4 outlets) could be broken?

Ok something weird happened.

I brought a lamp with me to check all the sockets in the house. They all worked. Then when I went back to the bedroom with no power, somehow it has power now.

It didn't have power for 5 days and now it does. All I did was plug a lamp into all the outlets in the house.

What the heck? Does anyone know what could be going on here?
