Learn music
1, Start with piano & learn theory, the most interesting part of music.
2, Learn to sing, this trains the ear so you can hear intervals and separate instruments etc. is basically expanding your sense of hearing
3, Learn bass, learn to walk a bassline and improvise and read chords.
4, join a band, have the best fun you can have as a human regularly.
give it a year or two to get to that point if you're committed

>>1125015
we cant tell you who you are. if you want to make something, ask the question. if you're just a boring loser with absolutely no creativity or drive to do anything with your life, there are plenty of other boards for that.

Peroxide might work, diluted bleach, maybe 10%, should also get it out. Its just sharpie or something, right?

Sharpies hate rubbing alcohol...

its not worth it, buy a new one

soft closing cabinet hinges
I dont see any plastic bumpers nor do you need them if you have soft closing hinges.

Door bumpers...

you can buy sterling silver anywhere. online or local. it will cost more than bullion silver per troy ounce but silver bullion is 99.999 percent silver and not suitable to jewelry.

that ring looks uncomfy as fuck, but neat. just make sure it doesnt have hard edges or it will be uncomfortable, a rotary tumbler with stainless steel pins would soften it too (ammo reloaders),
unless that is a dragon cock ring [it is 4chan, sorry i literally had to]. i think it looks cool

probably shouldnt have the cast with the numbers, have that part engraved in later but IDK

Doesn't that kind of intricate pattern pretty much require vacuum or spin casting?

make sure to not junk the sirens so S&R can find you when you drown

Think real hard about how you're going to keep it upright.

They are worth just as much as lead. At my scrapyard I get 0.5$ per kg of battery

Off the top of my head..
- NiG-welding
- Backup in the trunk for big car stereos.
- Alarm system with IR-detector wired to 12V fog horn.
- For diagnosing faulty 12V appliances.

Have you found a manual for it? They had pretty good maintenance and troubleshooting sections. Also, have you oiled it?

>>1122529
It came with a manual and I have used 3in1 oil on the moving parts. Nothing seems to help.

I shit you not. An old bearded man named Merlin once told me "its black magic under a sewing machine. I you figure it out you are now a wizard."

Ya know what? I beleive him to this day.

You mean like a gun barrel?

The best ones are forged, not drilled.

>>1120026
Actually yeah I did have forging in mind, that would be my preferred method. But as you can see I have no idea how to do this and simply reading books can only get me so far, eventually I need hands on experience. I don't know where to start, in the 21st century you can't exactly walk down the road to the local blacksmith.

>>1120037
Have you considered walking down the road to the local gunsmith?

btw not my vehicle. same exact, but mine is WAYYYYYYY uglier.

Having camped in an old C-10 Chevy I can tell you the insides of that will get drenched from your breath and it will suck in the winter. Cabs aren't made for living in. So you will need circulation/ventilation and insulation.

I put a camper shell on my old truck. Let me use a full(ish) sized air bed. water supply with sink. Insulation on the bed walls, and glued insulation on the roof. Depending on how much juice you pull you might need a camping battery and solar to keep it charged without having to run the engine and flush gas money.
Didn't live in it for uni, rather used it for camping by the lake.

Realistically, you should try to find some other folks that want to split rent on a small apartment and put in for every form of financial aid you can get.

You can gat an actual camper for them. Probably can get an old one for cheap.

Other wise this >>1119195

That's a standard GE single pole, 20 amp, BR style breaker. 5 bucks or under at a bigbox.

>>1116656
Might be worth the effort to make sure it isn't connected when replacing it though. Without the breaker you can really tickle yourself.

I've been breathing in fiberglass for 5 years now. Your wussy little 20 minute cleaning job is nothing.

Buy a mask at home depot and clean the fucking room. It's not complicated, and certainly doesn't warrant a thread on /diy/. What I'd like to know is where you got a fucking matress full of fiberglass from.

I don't want fucking fibrosis when I turn 65, you not using a mask for five years of fiberglass exposure makes you an idiot.

Typical of peeling sections

Mask it off with blue painters tape... or get a kit with real binding... that's not supposed to be punted it's supposed to be a different material.

>>1126171
what kind of kit do you have? Usually it is a strip of different material that form what the rest of the guitar is. If it doesn't have that strip, you could try to still make one, but it probably won't look good. Mask it off, and then if any stain leaks underneath, sand it off, or scrape it off with a razor. Let your stain set in, and then apply your finish.

the white strip isn't paint it is binding often made out of plastic but sometimes wood strips.
