What is your budget?

Do you want to go the hand tool route (cheaper, more difficult, slower) or the power tool route (more expensive, more dangerous, faster, easier)?

How do you feel about purchasing used tools (save a ton of money, maybe have to wait until something good shows up, maybe it needs some work before its usable)?

Is space a concern?

Do you think you will ever need to turn wood on a lathe?

What about joint and plain your own boards?

>>1108897
I have about $1000 left over in my budget after the build is all said and done. I would prefer to go power tool definitly. I have a 30x40 shed so space isn't a huge concern. A lathe would be nice but I don't plan on making my own boards yet.

Ozium. Candle.

I got a used 15,000 volt neon sign transformer from eBay and made a fucking huge Jacob's ladder.
The spark gap starts at about 3/4" and spreads to at least 3 inches at the top and is about 3 feet tall.
That motherfucker generates a shit ton of ozone.

>>1108732
Ozone generators cause lung problems

Also keep in mind i have all the required ppe. Inb4 dur u fur get welding helmet op! Also i was looking at a few job postings and they had a 4 1/2" grinder and basic air tools listed. Anyone have jobs where this was required? Im not rich i cant afford air tools

If you just graduated, you take what you can get. And don;t have an entitled attitude. Do you honestly think ANYONE wants to do shit production work? And you almost always have to spend money to make money.
Go to HF and get your baby tools for as cheap as you can. Or a pawn shop. You aren't getting married to them. When you are earning more and it suits you throw them away and buy the best ones you can.

Protractor (combo square)
Scribes
Vise clamps (6")
Torch tip cleaners (community ones go to shit pretty quick)

Maybe:
Framing square
Calipers
Vise clamps (11")
Dividers

Yes. My family exclusively uses Netflix, but after 2 years it's getting repetitive.
We're moving on to the internet TV thing who's name I cannot recall right now, but we haven't paid for cable in like 3 years. No home phone either. What is this, 1998? You don't need commercials at a higher price than internet TV.

>>1108458
I use Netflix and an android stick with kodi on it. In a couple months I'll have two pcs I'm resurrecting also....kodi works better on pc. I can get pretty much everything even live TV although who wants to watch that

>>1108458
Internet + Torrents

Netflix is dum

here take a look at that design, much better, safer and reliable.

Just take a motor, put 3d printed (if you are a faggot and can't do it otherwise) head on top of it strap it somehow to the front wheel and done.

Add a diode and a capacitor on the other side, now hook a charging unit and 2 AA charging batteries, now hook them to LED or even better leave a usb port so you can use it as powerbank charged by your bike.

>I want to use an electromagnet instead of a real magnet
Apparently you don't understand even basic physics or you'd know that not only won't work, it'll do the opposite of what you want (i.e. CONSUME power instead of GENERATING power). Go look up 'laws of thermodynamics' and get back to us, k?

Hey kid before you go on a huge rant you should know that is how pretty much every alternator works

Plastic scoring tool. Create an outline with tape and score it until it's thin enough to punch in.

You'll want to sand it after

>>1108068
For circles, I would use a step bit. For squares, use a good knife

red-hot knife or box-cutter. Do it outside though lol. You can also use hot-water and a power drill if they just need to be holes

You smoke them

Dry cigars don't effect the taste much. It primarily means it will flake badly when being smoked, so it's a bit of a nuisance but honestly not that bad. Also unless you live in a very dry climate like Arizona or keep them in a heavily air conditioned home you shouldn't ever fun into that problem

For instance i live in SC where the humidity never drops below 60% (and rarely drops below 70%)

Just rehydrate them. It'd take time.

Can tobacco leaf be oxidized?

>>1107593
Btw, that's only around $70-120 worth of cigars so unless you are keeping them to smoke yourself it's not a huge loss

Juat hire an architect.


With out an architecture license or a structural engineering stamp your building wont be approved to be built by your local gov. Nor will a bank finance it.

Thanks for the reply.
I was looking into the construction loans aspect of this, and it looks like banks want 'reputable' contractors to give you a loan. I know 'reputable' contractors and have met many more, they're scum 90% of the time. Do you think there is any way to get around this? I'd rather not work with these shit heads in this area.

>I'm bored and I want to get some thrill in 2017. Ideas?
Get a table router. Neat tool, but kinda scary to use with smaller work pieces.

You are talking about fire polishing, try to look into it more, glass doesn't like to be heated unevenly.

>>1106518
>fire polishing
okay, didn't know about that
looks like you need an acetylene flame for that
or would your average propane blowtorch be hot enough?

>>1106523
I did it in high school with a Bunsen burner is science class when I had to cut some glass tubes. It has been a long time.

>If my property has a private water well, do I have to bring water in manually or does my home automatically draw water in for the toilet, taps etc.?
The well is the bit that accesses the ground water. Where it goes from there depends on what you have. If you're not buying an authentic hobbit hole, the well will be connected to a pump and related plumbing that maintains water pressure in the house.

>How often does a septic tank need maintenance
This is something you would check with the septic system manufacturer/installer about, but typically add a bit of Rid-X or something similar once a month, and have it pumped every few years. Don't dump antibiotics or bleach.

>Will a surveyor be able to tell me
I suspect that this depends on the surveyor. If they regularly have to deal with that, since it's common in that area... might as well ask.

Yes, all toilets and taps in Ireland have water magnets, they will attract the water from the well through the pipes. No pump needed.

Probably talking about the solder on the wires. California has some really weird laws, we just ignore them as a state.

They are know to cause cancer , birth defects and reproductive hard only in the state of California so as long as you are not in California you are good.

And honestly there is not a valid reason to spend more then a few days in the peoples republic of California anyways.

Heat her then cheat her!
Heat and a cheater bar would probably work if you have the room.

But this is one of those times where you need to step back.
Did they seal it for a reason?
Maybe the retard stripped it out and then sealed it.

There may actually be risk opening it up.
How important is changing the fluids?

It's starting to make a noise, I was checking to see why

drill it out
tap it
put a new bolt in

this can be done for <20 dollars if you're not a typical /o/ fucktard

why did you come to /diy/?

looks like a sheet of steel was just stamped with a magikarp die. doubtful youre going to be able to get the same quality at home. maybe if you can 3d print a similar model then cast it in aluminum and use that to stamp a sheet of steel or something that might work but idk. maybe a home vaccuformed mold using foodsafe plastic would get you good enough

What about cast iron?
Recently in Japan a very small number of taiyaki shops had these molds that look like they might be cast iron.

Im not looking to make an exact replica, just something that does the same job.

Just shell out the 300, you weeby fuck.
