Suggestions for what? A project? Tools? What are you asking for? I would slap you if I could for making me ask this

Step one. Google.
Step two. Google porn.
Step three. Forget about /diy/

Apply your self.

A trailer with power generation would probably be much better in every way, but it wouldn't have that snowflake sleek look. And a trailer would be cheaper, which isn't as cool.

Literally who?

It would be, but, to be honest, I don't trust that style of scooter at much faster than the 15mph it already goes. Tiny wheels with no suspension = sketchy at any sort of speed.

>>1137198
Is it simple to do it? I'll do it if it is, maybe even find out how I can put a variable speed throttle on it

You can hit 25mph on a bicycle easy if youre not a fat fuck

straight up it will depend on your skill and knowledge of injection molding and plastics

if you know moldmaking and mold processing, then you can handle it and understand its limitations

its not hard,
but if you are going into it expecting perfect results right away, then you will be disappointed.

there are a few good resources(blogs) on injection molding at home , read them, they talk about machines like this

also research on real injection molding
these things are mainly for prototyping or at diy at home kinda shit

I mean, what's your minimum amount of potential comfort? How much do you care about passenger carrying capacity? Etc?

>>1136348
Yeah I mean I kinda could do that but that would be white trash as fuck anon, I think.

I want the ability to sleep comfy in my car without it looking like fucking hobo tier.

Take the passenger and back seat out
And build a sleeping platform

get another estimate, don't commit to anything yet

You can get r22 for $20 lb new. A typical 3 ton home system would be 10 - 12 lb of refrigerant. Even if totally empty it'd only take ~$200 in gas to charge. I don't want to call that guy out as trying to sell you a system but get another estimate.

>>1136251
You're likely going to be better off replacing it. Make sure you get one with r134a.

What does your tax preparer say? You are less likely to be audited if you use one and they'll know a lot more about current FL tax law than 4chan.

>Can i legaly[sic] live here temporarily
Check your local zoning regulations. But seriously who is going to know and who is going stop you?

>I can put that im[sic] living in my business warehouse in the income tax return without them denying me.
For tax reasons your perfectly fine. Mayhaps there is a delay and you receive an audit due to the oddness of your circumstance. The IRS is not in the business of enforcing zoning laws.

>>1135273
What im worried about is if they give the heads up to local zoning officials in my area which then will lead to them booting me out and closing me down. Its all i have left in this world.

It seems like it withstood all the past events.... I would just sit down and read over my insurance policy and maybe add supplemental plans to fill any gaps in coverage.

>>1138330
Move. When the big one happens. You're utterly fucked. Roads so damaged they're closed naturally. Riots. Fires. No running water.

The idiots who live around that line are the same idiots who live in 100 year flood plains. "Hurdur could never happen to me, only if it does the streets will only get 1/2" of water..." 2 years later... Roof under water. "MUH WHY MY HOUSE I DIDN'T KNOW. GOVERNMENT THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT FIX IT! REEEEEEEEEE"

It has survived true, but it's pretty apparently looking at the bones / structural shit (after recent remodel) each past quake has affected it. Nothing is plumb or even close to level. Several walls bowing out, sill plate is loose and lifting in some areas. It's fine if the ground is still but I dunno

those tweezers aren't worth $5

>>1137962
They're stainless steel and I bought them for dirty tweezer work because I don't want to ruin my nice tweezers.

Also, they have a knurled texture on the end which is kinda good.

>>1137969
do you really mean knurled or just ridged?

>>1137379
nigger it's got wheels.

it probably comes with a chafferer to drive you around with.

>>1137379
>And why the hell do they cost 10 times what normal brands cost?

They use high quality materials while paying a living wage to Americans in American factories while at the same time having a lifetime warranty.

You pay out the ass so that they dont go out like Craftsman has.
Raw materials go up?
Stricter EPA guidelines making manufacturing go up?
High taxes with wages going up?

You can start cutting corners on your manufacturing or materials.
You can straight up send your manufacturing over to china
You can remove the warranty.

Or you can just keep yourself as a premium brand and raise the cost of your tools.

Dont like it? Buy chinese wrenches made in a sweatshop. Itll turn a bolt

funny thing is I broke more SnapOn tools than I ever did shit from Harbor Freight. At least HF shit brook cause I took them over the limit, SnapOn shit broke in the dumbest fucking places.
2 ratchet ratches had the little selector knob break
Pliers come apart
Plastic handle come off screw drivers

This is one of the ones that I was looking at

Have an electric bike, that seems like it would work but wait until you see the price of the battery. Also
https://endless-sphere.com/forums/ is where all the e-bike people hang out.

the problem with hub driven wheels is all that unsprung rotational mass.

If you need to pedal without power you've got a lot of extra work to do to get where you're going.

I have the Bafang 8fun BBS01, BBS02, and BBSHD. mounted on three different bikes. They're a mid drive motor that uses your bike's drivetrain to do the locomotion. The bennefit over hub systems is that when you're not using the system there's a significant effort savings because of no rotational mass getting in the way, and the weight of the motor is centered on the bike and not in the wheel. This mass location leads to a smoother riding bike.

And another great bennefit is that the increased gear range you have on the rear derailure means that you can keep the motor in it's efficiency band much more accurately.

Robertson is best screw.

>u mad, bro?
(7.00" x 25.00" x 16.80" including panel) . lol- could get buried in that fucker, which you maybe need to, startup noise of 45 fans etc. right next to your ear. Them called rack servers for a reason, so put em in a rack, well the fuck out of earshot.

OP, if you just dong office stuff? jist get a modern SFF, can use in either orientation, samll, fits behind monitor or, desk, monitor on top. No good for gayming tho - or ebay an offical old-school beige box, upgrade power supply (AT->ATX) as needed.

Yeah, a crossbow with a hair trigger sounds like a pretty good idea to me too.

brilliant

>how to make rust

pour water over it, mix it up, leave it until water dries, done

>>1135370
>pour water over it, mix it up, leave it until water dries, done

I have to make sure it is completely rusted. I'm not sure this method will produce that effect.

>>1135369
try burning it. In an oven at high temp (dont melt it though and keep the oxygen flow right). Do you by any chance need it to make termite?
