Try twisting some of them tuning transformers

Well I did try, bit there are only 2 which actually have any effect at all, but they just seem to adjust the volume...

Can we get some more info about the radio, like photo of its circuit board?

Practice and care.

don't use a hand saw

you should already own or have gotten instead, a circular saw

get some simple clamps, clamp a rafter square (which you also should have) to it, use the square as the cutting guide

That is some very cheap stuff. Thanks anon.

>buying new power tools

>>1125595
How else am I supposed to do it? Get something of unknown quality at a pawn shop for a meager discount over new?

get a edge clamp from HF with coupon, use as saw guide

if you have to rip longer, just get a piece of bar stock or some angle iron, or just another piece of wood

You looking for a power tool bait pic, like the one you posted?

>>1125447
I'm legitimately asking. Pic related I saved from /diy/

You haven't mentioned a particular trade so no one can give you a particular answer.

The higher you go the less likely you are to have heard of the manufacturer.

The image you posted has no more basis than anything anyone else will say. If chink shit works and gives you what you want, that's all that matters.

Crack her open and maybe you can push from the back

>>1124617
> superglue
Nice; now it's probably glued in place.

Small needle nose pliers, or a hook tool with barbed end, perhaps. Otherwise take off back panel and push it out. Even superglued in, you should be able to remove after disassemble.

hot fish hook and stick it in, let cool pull uot

forget about projector screen, your 2.5 m distance will not need any bigger screen than 60" (see tv size to distance calculator)

why is the bookcase in the middle of the room and how tall

forget about carpet, just use area rugs, also, nobody puts stone to divide flooring and carpet, that is just stupid

the whole thing is just question marks why did u do this even

>>1127121
I'm going with the projector because I already have it. The bookcase is to divide the areas, I was thinking ~180cm tall (the ceilings are 2.5m)

>the whole thing is just question marks why did u do this even
It's the first time I've had the opportunity to alter an interior (the carpets, walls are completely trashed and will be redone). I really have no specific idea and the division with stone seemed neat (I saw something similar in a cottage).

Thank you for your helpful honesty, by the way, I'd rather be called an idiot before I put money and time on the line than after.

Tape measure
Pen
Paper

Everything else is just bullshit you don't really need until you get your tool box out the van anyway.

>>1127125
Imo i find these 3 items getting more use than everything else in my toolbox so why not

I have that sog too. Switch plier 2.0....

It's... OK. More quirky/gimmicky than practical. If you don't need spring pliers, the skeletool is a better, similarly styled tool.

For me it's a flashlight(hugsby 2xAAA), precision screwdriver(2 tiny Philips, 2 tiny flat), Leatherman blast, and my phone.

When we are done with the containers...

Your alternator has two 'hot' wires?

>>1127106
Well there is the pre existing wire from the car battery to the alternator. The other wire I have there is to the solenoid, but I could I guess put that to the positive car battery terminal or find a live port in my fuse box. Yes?

Melt it into an ingot

>>1126990
what is that bell wire or something
throw it in the trash, scrap man wouldn't pay you what its worth to strip.

>>1126990
Tons of things. Squirrel it away until you actually need it. This is like asking "what can I do with this notebook of paper"?

>>1127021
>throwing good wire into the trash

KYS

Just regular epoxy resin will do the job

Look up fiberglass pool repair.

You can refinish the tub, but you will have to use soft scrub which sucks.

This picture is from after the replacement. You can clearly see the new, working seat has been put in place of the old, broken one. It works wonderfully. Thank you for reading about my struggles and adventures in replacing my toilet seat.

If you need any help regarding toilet seats, feel free to ask. I'll be sticking around for a few hours helping anyone out with Toilet Seat related problems.

What's the brand of the seat? How long will it take to break in?

Also:

I'd prefer to go with something more 80s-90s than the older style machines.

Absolutely nothing wrong with sewing machines from the 50s-60s, you can find some absolute beasts from that era still in great working order.

Problem is that these days that means wading through 100s of CL posts with SUPER HIP VINTAGE SEWING MACHINES that are either solely cosmetically restored or actually piece of shit reproductions. Pretty hard to find fairly priced workhorses when a guy can just slap some paint and polish on a broken one and sell it to some nu-yuppies who will display it in their living room while their twee-as-fuck friends all talk about how "cute" it is.

So I'm going to stick with newer used models, that dont have the cursed "vintage" aura about them. Big ugly boxy machines suit me fine if they can handle 5 layers of denim.

Pic related, the 50s machine I bought for $20 and restored, thing is an absolute beast, sews everything you put in front of it. Wish I could've brought it with me.
