Probably A lot more money to use it as it was intended to be used

Only in parts, best to sell it. Non vacuum autoclaves can go for around £800- £1200 to the right buyer.

Nothing sticks to dried PVA glue. Not epoxy, not silicone nothing! The only thing that sticks to dried pva glue is super glue.

When gluing with PVA always wipe up squeeze out when you can.

As fsr as your second question. I normally use these finishes in this order from least durable to most.

Beeswax
Oil finishes
Shellac
Water based poly
Oil based poly
Polyester resin
Epoxy

But each one has its uses... For example you can really only do real french polishes with shellac. You can get the same immediate effect with epoxy. But epoxy wont brown or darken over time. But may yellow instead. The shellac ages and that's why you don't paint or scrape old vintage finishes unless you absolutely need too. Or its just really fucking ugly

>stain glued wood?
you mean will it cover up a horrible glue job of boards? no
but as long as you clean it up probably and use titebond or even regular white glue, it shouldn't be a problem

>Is it ok to oil it or does it have to be varnished?
no one ever has to do anything....I don't see why you'd want to oil it unless you're making it out of nice wood, which seems a waste for just a bed frame

just use polyurethane

>>1133090

My fucking shins are cringing so hard looking at that stupid bed design

No, if anything, you would lose water pressure

>>1132604
But the pressure exits through the nearest and easiest opening, why would it act against the pump?

If i attach a tube in a 45 degree angle near the opening of the main line the water current sucks air through the tube. Its called Venturi effect if i recall that right.

>>1132600
The soloution is surely a more powerful water pump, adding air to the water line would just result in a "splattering" at the outlet

>>1130951
Of course. A steel beam would also bend. It's just a matter of how much deflection the project can tolerate.

>>1130955
The problem is that I don't have any real numbers

I just want to make my own workbench/closet

I want to put all the clutter above the workbench, without risking myself into getting crushed by tons of materials above me.

>>1130956
Well, without numbers that's a bit hard to spec. Making the thing out of 2x4's would be a start. Can always add supports/legs if it sags too much. If you're intent on an 8ft span then maybe bump up the cross members to 2x6. Either way once you screw the top down to the structure the thing gets a lot stronger.

predator pee works well
you can get free used kitty litter from
that old hag cat lady next door and drop it in the holes and around the yard.

You can try planting mole bean plants or some other toxic/noxious thing like tagetes so they know to stay away.

>>1124296
>poison worms
You sure they are moles, not voles?
> Better still if the gas makes them suffer a bit before they expire
Oh, another psychopath. Sulfur dioxide certainly fits the bill then, you just need lots of it.

Why not just use traps? Sure, you still need to use them properly, but they work quite well.

>>1133563
Maybe soak it in alcohol overnight? It helps to dissolve some kinds of glue. It works with epoxy.

The ibew is the biggest union in the us because there is a huge demand for electricians. Any trade is going to have a supply and demand problem as the boomers die off or retire and the fact that millenials don't want to get dirty to earn their money. Any trade will do but as a general rule Electrician>Plumber on the totem pole.

I'm in my mid 20's and I've been hearing this for 10 years, but I have yet to see any truth to it. You can be waitlisted for 2 years trying to get into a trade school pre-apprenticeship program, and there are far more graduates being churned out than there are apprentice positions, the majority of them end up working at hardware stores for minimum wage.

>>1133475
More like there's demand problems *until* boomers start dropping.
when I got into IBEW I was one of 75 applicants. Only 3 of us actually landed the apprenticeship. I got in thru nepotism but the others had re-applied for several years before finally getting in.

Everyone is screaming that the sky is falling but they are not in a hurry to get people in the trade while simultaneously not realizing that millenials want to get their career off the ground !today! and not when the JATC gives the go-ahead.

No, now I got to go to the hardware store (when it opens) and get some expanded mesh screen.

You think Homey Depot will have it and if so, will they cut it to size for me?

>>1133386
The plot rises. I like where this story is going.

>>1133006
>You guys got any advice?

>>1133017
>I read that every three joists is enough

Get planks and put them together. Use cardboard box as foundation. Then add wheels.


This shit will appreciate in value. You can thank me later.

What about a yurt?
Ridiculosuly cheap, can be easly dissassembled for transport, some ppl prefer a single huge room.

>>1124923
$60,000 is ridiculously expensive

Try <$5000 for moderate builds

eBay and why are you trying to build one just buy one

Just fill the battery with water for maximum weight and take it to the scrap metal dealer

>>1132839
That's boring and not worth the time and effort to drive it down town for like $10

>>1132825
>lead and other cool metals.

lead and antimony aren't cool. just get the cash for recycling it

id be more impressed if you built the speakerbox economically
