bump!
this sounds fun

Why doesn't it just fly? These animals were created to soar through the limitess airspace and you are confining it to a little buggy like some overweight old man.

If it's wings are clipped, why are you now giving it a buggy? Do you regret handicapping it?

If i had a fucking nickle for every person who would comment on my keeping the bird clipped i'd pay donald trump to have the buggy manufactured in america, out of gold.

Here's my copypaste response:
No one should keep birds. But they are here now so we have to take care of them. Always get birds from shelters and do not support the industry that breeds them. The climate is too cold for them to survive on their own here in the wild (i have an African grey) and he would not be able to survive in the wild in Afrika since he was born in captivity and ended up with me from a shelter. As far as we currently know, the best way to keep a bird is clipped so it becomes safe to take it on walks without cage or leash to the park, out to dinner, on trips to family, friends and house parties, and occasionally work or out for a pint. They learn to deal with situations they otherwise flee from and to make friends with other people. They are phobic by nature but this can be overcome with this approach. Should I ever hear otherwise, the feathers can just grow back. Clipping does not have to be a permanent decision.

Don't worry about the bird. Picture is him on a trip to the airfield with me. We came to watch the airshow. Unclipped birds don't get do this. He is allowed to fly short distances of about a 100m when we're at the park, when it's not too windy and there are no dogs around. I also take him flying with me in light aircraft. Thanks for your concern, but don't worry about him.

Please focus on the question i asked.

Get some thick walled acrylic tubing, some of that thin white foam packing sheet, some 5 min epoxy glue and a thin sheet of plastic or acrylic.

Cut to an appropriate length, notch the pipe where you want an intersection, and go from there

Mechanix or knockoff are the best for dexterity, but they wear out fast.

Goatskin work gloves are a good compromise. Cheap ones (Harbor Freight tier, pic related) wear out fast but nice ones can last quite a while. A well-fitting, well-made pair is worth the investment imo, they are miles ahead of old fashioned work hamfists.

>>1109985
>A well-fitting
Not OP, but I've never found a pair of gloves that fit well. Where would I look for such a thing?
I once tried to diy a falconry gauntlet, but that didn't go well.

>>1109993
Trade specialty stores. Welding stores, machinists, sheet metal, etc. Still tough to find.

Old-school hardware stores used to carry them (Osh, Ace, etc) but they are all out of business now, at least in my area.

Honestly, best bet may be to order online from somewhere that has a good return policy.

Get the HF shit for now though, they work pretty well for 6 bucks, they just bust open at the seems after a bit of abuse.

You can waterproof the electronics with potting, or just covering in silicone, or just wrap in rubber tape

There are probably waterproof speaker modules out there, not sure

Over the 25 m distance you should just get something to plug in at the location, e.g. ipod or something, but if you have to make a cable you can easily make one from some quality cables, the ones they use on stage are often screened, e.g. Van Damme

Get a wire plant dolly/plant caddy. Put the speaker face down on it and a bucket over the top. Wire bucket to caddy.

>>1109793
Just the electronics? What about the speaker part? Is it water resistant?
>Waterproof speaker modules
What do you mean?
>Quality cables
Kek that's true I face palmed when you said it, I'm dumb.

Looks like a good temporary solution, but not in the long term.

the two has no relation to one another unless you eat with a chisel

I just use one of these, for rust prevention. That's all.

I would not be surprised if someone at some point was stupid enough to put a drill or circular saw through the dishwasher...


no, one should not "wash" tools....simple cleaning, sharpening, and oiling, yes

Computer chargers are usually ~24V and 2A
Take 10 of them and hook them up in parallel. BOOM 24V DC at 20A

>>1109742
>mess with induction hotplate
That's the easiest solution.

Or make your own, they're easy as pie.

>>1109749
Even at $5 each, that's $50 worth of power supply. And 24v is on the low end, you need 36-48v for max power.

>>1109751
Most of the schematics I see still need a power supply and aren't much cheaper than the premade ones.

My friend makes a lot of tool handles and uses them to make legs and stuff for furniture

>>1109384
Those things are scary.

>>1109388
Furniture would be fun. I think I might wanna start with cups and bowls.

I could do some really cool designs on them with my laser engraver too.

For your load an electric pump will likely work.

What do you plan to power? You can check out tow truck suppliers online for other parts. I strongly suggest visiting your local industrial hydraulic store to see what they have. They can crimp custom hoses for you too.

>>1109377
>What do you plan to power?
compressor and a winch, problem being i don't think my trucks alternator or battery could handle both at the same time. it barely could handle the aftermarket stereo i uninstalled.

>>1109311
If u can get a spare battery, mount it ground it. Then hook it up as a separate system to run the pump. No reason to run wires and risk draining ur battery if its already being overwelmed. There should be tons of dyi articles on this for u if this is the route u wanna take.

In case it wasn't clear from the pic, it's got kind of a texture on everything but the chamfer, and I'm worried it'll look worse when it's done.

>>1109224
Wouldn't mess with it.
Some knobs are layers of different plastics.
A little wear is normal on things.
I have refinished some plastics but they never matched. wetsand with 800 grit, wetsand again with 1200, then paint with krylon fusion.
Odds are you will have more into fixing the knob than it will bring on sale.
Also, Sony might have a replacement part.
I found one for my Jeep that was $7.50. less than what I spent in time and materials to fix the old one.

Do it. I polish my knob every night and nothing happened.

>>1109100
try bigger vice, bigger pliers, bigger hammer, bigger torch (more multiple torch), more red hot

>>1109100
higher temperatures - oxy/acetylene torch
or cut a 90degree notch nearly through and bend it (or less maybe through)

looks like a piece of keystock

If its just mild steel, build a small fire, get it down to coals, throw it in and build up the fire again, come back in the morning and it should be a bit annealed

Buy a usb killer

Would applying 220V through the ethernet work?

Unplug everything you dont want fried first, like hdd's if yiu want to keep your data.

Hook a car battery up to some electrical probes, and start probing parts around the motherboard 24 pin connector, the cpu 4/8 pin connector. Should make it look like a power surge.

After that, bridge all the capacitors in the board to leach out any unwanted power you may have stored in them, then plug the stuff back in.

Layout technique depends on the parameters of the number and spacing. I'd use a drill press to actually drill the holes once they're marked and punched.

In metalworking, we use a rotary table

>>1108952
are you asking about how to mark the holes or how to actually drill them?

It's taken me longer to write this reply out than it did to find a PDF of the instructions for your register.

Not very 'sharp', are you.

>>1108959
I have the original instructions problem is connecting the tax group to the department.

I don't get that part

>>1108949
you really should use real computers and databases
