are they plastic? you should be able to take it off and gently straighten it with a heat gun

if they're metal maybe one of those dent repair places could help you out

You could have prevented this, but instead you chose not to beat your children.

fuck around with the thin lens equation and see if you can make it work

>>1154174
oops, a typo
i meant the focal lenght is 265mm

>>1154174
Could work. But the quality might be pretty low. That lens isn't coated optics and is of questionable quality. Besides, I can't tell if the marks in your pic are defects on the lens or dirt on the table top which is now scratching the lens.

Hard to explain without drawing a real diagram, but below the shelf I am going to have a slide out keyboard tray that drops down about 2 inches and is 2/3 the width of the tray, so when the rods fold in the front rod has to also move towards the back of the box to clear the tray, that's why I am using heims. Also, the hinge isn't at the joint, it's a few inches down, here's a more advanced MS paint.

A strike on the forst comment

just paint you're walls with salt water nerd

only thing that dampens sound is more mass

hanging a heavy blanket on the back of the door helps some people. Making sure that the gap at the bottom of the door is covered helps too, something simple made of cheap cloth or an old towel can work, like a "draft excluder".

cheap, simple, foolproof.

A project such as this will likely require thousands of man hours to complete. Assembling a car chassis with all the components to make it drive will be a fairly daunting task. After that you've got to manufacture the body, such that it replicates the Mach 6. That will require a lot of labor and understanding of how to bend sheet metal, or molding fiberglass if you go that route. Then you've got to get down the interior and other gimmicks that will make it look like the Mach 6.

If you can, I would start with a stripped down car chassis of some existing model. Then you're basically making a custom body kit, which will save a lot of time. If you decide to replace the engine/transmission/suspension such that will be a proper racing car, will affect the amount of labor required to complete the project. Ideally you'd have some sports car chassis laying around, but it's up to you to decide what car model has the ideal chassis to work with.

I will say, welding isn't as important unless you are building the chassis from scratch, but you will probably need to weld something. It's likely that the body should be mounted in some non-permanent fashion to prevent mistakes.

Thanks anon, I actually understand what you are saying. As I said I do have access but finding the ideal car to start from might be a task. Of course I know from the movie that not everything will be achieved but I will still try to achieve an exact replica. An anon commented about how someone made the Mach 5 (not the one used in the thunderdome) out of c4 corvette

http://www.corvetteonline.com/features/car-features/mark-towle-turning-c4-corvettes-into-mach-5-dreams/

The car must be street legal, or I will try to make it, if not I could always drive it in my back yard. It's just something I want to work on meanwhile I have school and work. I know it will take years but it's no problem, time is all I have.

There are some crashed cars and broken down I can take parts from, probably few corvettes but I'm talking trashed. I'll make a list once I get the time and start moving things around.

Good thing it's not English.

can you post pics of the rusty parts?

>>1153887
giw us pics of the rusty parts
you can use a variety of methods
mentioned wire brush, sandpaper, wirewheel on enge grinder
or you can go chemo with rust remover

>>1153887
If the chrome is rusting i would just remove the rust with steel wool. Its less harsh on the bar. With chromed objects rust usually pushes out of small cracks and looks worse than it really is. I dont know if spray paint is the answer, it looks tacky and could ruin your equipment depending what area you are painting. Look at galvanizing or even just applying a light oil to the metal. I know that sounds ghetto but seems less mickey mouse than spray paint.

Kapton tape or fiberglass sleeving for wires

Are you sure a red-hot wire can even ignite the torch?

>>1153797
Maybe just use more power and longer wire?

Go to your local grocery store and rent a steamer/cleaner...

LOL

Do you have a simple vaccum?

>>1153699
There's a lot of furniture sold like that, but I don't feel they last. Depending on it's used, and bumped, it starts to get loose, and about falls apart. If you barely touch it, it'll last. If you screw your girl on it, it'll last a month at most. Add a board or two to the back to give some bracing, and it will help a lot.

>>1153699

Hard to know about the top sagging without knowing the material, the thickness, and the span.

Assuming the top is relatively sturdy by itself, the likely failure point would be the joint at the top left (as illustrated). A single board across the back screwed and glued to the back of all 3 vertical supports would help considerably.

That is, if the sheet material for the vertical supports and top is wood. If the material illustrated is particle board, failure of any screwed or glued attachment is more likely, of course.

>>1153699
Yes, just don't use particle board
Use plenty of dowels and wood glue (triple check your measurements so you don't have to do as much planing to get flat top
Also make sure you give yourself as much working surface as you need and then some. It's always nice to have more space if there are no size constraints.

I made a desk like this, bought steel legs though

They send cad designs to the factory and purchase a minimum order of 90,000 units. Some pretty heavy dedication for one unit.

An in-line tankless water heat might do the trick, but getting a decent one for $300 is tricky.

>>1153527
Not nearly as expensive. You can find a decent propane tankless water heater for under 200$.. Get some advice from the provider for your specific situation. You could have it indoors or exposed to the water

>>1153527
This is some kind of weird pasta, I am certain.

Trim the radials for wifi band, and make sure you check your swr! A bad swr can fry a transmitter, or at minimum give you crappy reception.

Thanks man this seems really useful, I'll check it out!

is the pringle can "cantenna" still a thing? maybe look into that
