I dont see how "refinishing" old tools is thread worthy. Not really that interesting.

>>1231071
No. If any of my tools get damaged or worn I throw them away.

It's nice having money.

>>1231027
go to a thrift store and look at old tv tables

or just buy one and put on 4 casters

>>1231027
What tools you have for woodwork?

>>1231027
do you want many features, or just a stand?

Some MDF will get you a decent box with minimal tools. add some HF castors for 20 bucks and you have something functional.

refer to youtube for plans if you want anything intricate

That is an absolutely dreadful way to detect drifting but if you insist you can get a shit thing called an arduino and pay.10x the value for a 3dof imu (degrees of freedom, inertia measuring unit) because it had some pins soldered to it from adafruit (company for queer-o-sexuals named after a syphilitic lunatic widely miscredited as the first computer programmer for no other reason than she was a woman) or sparkfun (for manchildren that never wandered from the confines of the instruction book when playing with Lego)
You will find instructions on how to put it together and run software someone has already written but no information about how any of it works out what it does so you don't have to worry about actually improving yourself or growing as a person or gaining any skills.

Also, check wires for cracks in the insulation, same with anything rubber or rubber-like, replace any and all filters, and change any an all fluids. Once you get plugs, check for spark.

vise grips.

goddamn anon buy some tools or throw the motor away because it will be garbage when you finish "fixing" it.

it's called flip clock and they have been around since the 50's or 60's.

Yes, flipclocks and variations of thereof have been around forever. But that is beyond the point; practically all (mechanical) flipclocks etc have single display for hours instead of separate ones and tens. That separate digit thing is what I'm specifically interested in, not so much of the display elements themselves.

I'm not sure I understand your problem.
You want a flip clock? And you want a solution so that despite one of them only having 0, 1, 2 and the other 0-9, they stay "in synch". Is that correct?

go find some broken boards and practice for 10 minutes or more

>>1230738
Will do, any chance of recovering this one?

How are you so dumb that you're that fucking obvious? You're either a criminal or an antifa faggot. Either way get the fuck outta here.

>>1230717
Are you fucking serious? Do you realise that once you have a holster for it, it makes it impossible for you to deny that you were concealing it with the intent to use it as a weapon?

Either just carry an actual, legal, self defence weapon or use a bike lock like that professor of faggotry that got arrested for fucking up that protestor.

Of course. Although, just clean your toaster often and that won't happen.

>>1230706

you know the cheapest toaster oven probably costs as much as a mid-quality toaster. and its designed to be a toaster oven. a toaster is just a toaster, it cant cook food like you would expect from a actual toaster oven....

>>1230712
post the bingo card and show everyone what a massive fucking retard faggot you are

>>1230752
you know no it doesn't if op already has a toaster in which case it costs $0

Looked a bit around and couldnt find it sry anon

I too want get into bookbinding, but before that I need to
>Learn how to work with leather
>Find an efficient way of printing my own content (mostly edited .pdf's) in the correct order so once I fold, layer and group the small booklets that make up the book they are all in order
>Step Up my A E S T H E T I C S. If I am going to spend that much time with something I might as well make it good-looking

>and can just use single sheets of regular paper
I would advice to invest in something better than common-printing paper. What exactly do you want to do? A Sketch book? Do you want to print out an entire books and bind it yourself?

>I'd be particularly interested in a plastic or something more durable than the usual cardboard
Cardboard is fine. There is also special Book-binding cardboard, it is dense, hard but a lot more thin than cardboard

I want to print out a shitton of out of print and PDF only RPG books for my shelf and gaming group, as well as my own homebrew stuff.

The important thing about printer paper, is not the quality of paper (I'll probably buy some semigloss stuff) but the ability to print it on 8.5x11 sheets, from my consumer grade laser printer. I don't want to have to invest in an expensive printer that can handle 11x17s.

The fact that I don't have to go through the hassle of editing the PDFs to print on folios like you described is a bonus, as is not needing my books to be a multiple of 4 in pagecount.

Those are the reason I'm favoring side-stitched single sheets.

>Cardboard is fine.
Some of my purchased RPG book have had the cover start to peel off where they got dinged on something, and the cardboard underneath doesn't hold up so well once the protective cover is off. Which is why I really would prefer some kind of thin black plastic.

>I don't want to have to invest in an expensive printer that can handle 11x17s
You have three options
1. Rob a bank and get another printer
2. Aquire 8.5*11 glossy paper (Or make your own)
3. Get someone else to print it for you professionally in whatever paper you want

>I don't have to go through the hassle of editing the PDFs to print on folios
In that case those prints must be very small. So using leather or other expensive materials is not justified (unlike me, where I will print substantial books or make anthologies of smaller ones. So I will also get into leather)

>cover start to peel off where they got dinged on something
Still, you should simply be careful with books, and stick them very well. Even like that, you can use metal or plastic corners to make it look good, hold the folds of paper and protect it from falls
What about synthetic leather and Binding cardboard? That cardboard is hard af, and the Leather can't peel off that easily. Is is also cheaper than regular leather

use the bluetooth or wifi to communicate with a microcontroller. display data, plots, menus, whatever.

>>1230327
so just as an external tiny screen? for what purpose? what about all the other hardware inside there?

>>1230322
i use them for reading pdfs, streaming radio, as a flashlight around the house

Straight stitch? A Singer 301 or before. Really, anything Singer from the mid 50's or before is bulletproof. Singer 404 is also good but they are rare as hell.

Zig-Zag? Singer 401 and 403 are the best zig zag machines they ever made. The 500/503 were also good but the previous series was the peak. 600 is okay. Avoid anything Touch & Sew or later.

>>1230004
i think just straight stitch. i just need to be able to do alterations. are 60 year old sewing machines really reliable? does buying used make sense?

>>1230044
Yeah. Sewing machines are a mess of horrible clockwork but 99% of them in existence are the same design of Singer that's existed for a century so parts and labor are cheap. Any fabric store will usually also service machines, if you don't want to do it yourself (which is understandable since they're mostly non-adjustable steel parts that either work or don't)
