The problem is, that another one tried to get out of it's egg, but the umbilical cord seems too thick, it doesn't cut and its bleeding ( the yellow one in pic related ) Should I help him and cut the cord?

>>1227780

as far as shitposting goes this is a bit creative but not believable at all.

I miss the days when you would ask us how to paint your computer fans to make them look like gaming fans.

This is /diy/. As in, do it YOURSELF. Asking how to do it YOURSELF would be borderline acceptable, but you're not. If you can't do it YOURSELF, go to /r/ or /wsr/. This is probably the nicest reply you're going to get, by the way.
Now get off my board.

can you post another photo?

Better off just getting thicker screws that catch a thread in the wood, unless you could be bothererd chasing the size down. I have had a lot of old guitars that chucklefucks have totally destroyed by removing screws and then reinserting them at the wrong angle multiple times.
Guitar parts, and everything "vintage" guitar-wise is a total meme and ripoff. When it comes to simple universal things you will be paying 10% of the price just going to a hardware store.

Also what the hell is that thing, looks like a cross between an SG and a telecaster?

>>1226625

should be fine with a trip to home depot or lowes or any other hardware store. I always use a little wood filler on the screw before screwing it in if there's a hole that's too big. just don't expect to get it out anytime soon

above is also how i mount straplocks to guitars. those long screws sometimes are too skinny for the stock holes so i dunk em in wood filler and let them set. haven't had a problem in 10+ yrs

>>1226636

also yes, what kind of guitar is that? those pickups look fake.

I could be talking out my ass as usual, but I think they usually use something like 1/8" chipboard attached to the interior framing to back up the trim. I'm sure you'll be wanting to get any interior rust out of there first, of course.

Start by wire brushing the rust, then coating with anti-rust paint or primer.

Then I'd like the interior with plywood or MDF. Doesn't need to be thick, 10mm for the floors, 4mm for the sides.

If you varnish with polyurethane and caulk the corners of the new floor before fixing the carpet, you can then use a pressure washer to wash the interior.

I buy them at thrift stores and garage sales, or ill wait until I can afford nice and buy on ebay/amazon

I only impulse buy certain things at big box stores. If I absolutely need a tool now and I somehow dont have it already, ill buy it at the big box stores

>>1226268
generally get my shit from the tool truck. if it's a one off specialty tool i'll get it from Princess Auto(Canadian HF) but that doesn't really happen too often

>>1226268
Estate sales and craigslist. Takes a while for good stuff to pop up and when it does you have to haul ass to get it bUT it's the cheapest way to get tools

>>1224542
I think it's pointless since you could just as easily plug your phone into the cord the QI charger uses

>>1224547

I actually tried that first, but my phone has kind of a gummed up bottom charging port and vibration kept working the plug free.

You should add a big magnet so the phone doesn't fall off

Raised slab to keep that chipboard above standing rainwater. You should add pressure treated to raise it above the pad.

leveled fill and pea-stone works...

thought i attached pic of shed. Ill need to add shingles on it. Should I seal the wood before putting shingles on top?

>How much would it cost
Get a supplies list, price them out, add it up. That is the cost. Why can't we tell you that? Because we don't know what shit costs where you live.

>how difficult would it be to build something like these
For someone with the skins? It would not be hard. For someone with no skills? It would be very hard.

>What do I need to know about those?
Man, if only there was some sort of book that had the codes in it that you could read...

>Could I alter the shed in some way to make it acceptable
Sure.

>without raising costs too much?
Nope.

Please fill this out. Picture related.

This needs to be redone- a bingo card generally works with random numbers, but since this has phrases or directions an OP could be going with their thread, some of them don't work well with each other.

For example, free energy! + "what should I buy" is incongruous, along with 110/220 volt. I'll rework this board for you guys.

Honestly, I made it almost 3 years ago and purposely made is near impossible to score a bingo. Trolling while trolling, if you will. That said, I have seen people do it twice when they weren't trying to do it intentionally.

A few of the squares are a lot rarer these days, also. We don't see people doing hydroponics, crying about 110/220 volts, or come here to try to develop a patent much anymore. Even the 3D printing, Arduino, and free energy crowd has really thinned out compared to then. It could use a 2.0.

Still got some stupid fuckwits on here trying to fix their headphones or 'upcycle' their garbage all the time though.

I can't exactly tell from the picture, bbut it *looks* like your pedestal section is made out of particle board. Is that where the worn out screw holes are? Assuming the answer is "yes", then best bet is to build a new middle section out something that's not crappy like press-board.

Another option is to attempt a repair to the screw holes by adding material. Wood toothpicks and wood-glue is pretty effective.

>>1230956
The pedestal is particle board and didn't originally come with the table, but had been added to the table before I inherited it. Unfortunately, the hollowed out holes are in the redwood.

You've posted this dumb shit before, go look at the archive for all the answers we gave last time

you don't want to invest 50$ for the most useful tool you could ever want for construction? go away child

>>1230897
I live in a apartment, will probably use it only for a table, will move out in 3 years to some other country. And due to economic fuckups here it costs more like 150 $

>>1230900
>>1230897
also a circular saw is 1/2 the value of a table. A table top, screws, drill heads, legs will probably be the same price. And buying a table kind ruins the point.

Get a plastic scraper.

Try any of these. WD40, household degreaser, automotive degreaser, steamer.

If those fail, try White/Mineral Spirits or Kerosene which may damage the lacquer underneath but probably won't.


If those fail, try Acetone.

>>1230707
If acetone fails, sand down the whole surface and put on another layer of varnish.

>>1230726
If Acetone fails just burn the fucker alive.

>>1230690
theres nothing to explain really

the heater and led is in series with the thermal switch and reset
the fan is in parallel with everything

you will need a relay and a thermistor or thermocouple for the arduino

You need to learn to take more or better pictures OP. Its really hard figuring out what shit is from a shitty angle.

>you will need a relay and a thermistor or thermocouple for the arduino

if the temperature is less than 150 C it might be simpler to use LM35 (or LM34 for F).

http://www.instructables.com/id/LM35-Temperature-Sensor/

It is simple to interface and provides 10mv/degree (or something really simple like that) so an ADC can easily read the temperature

>what type of mask I should use when applying spray paint

what type of paint? if it is water based you can wear a good paper mask. if it is solvent based you need ventilation and a respirator that has charcoal to absorb the fumes, unless you are spraying a small amount in which case you might not need any protection. however, if you spray a small amount regularly you should use protection.

>>1230596
just go outside ffs. hold your breath.

>>1230792
Dude it's a huge hammer, I'm not going to be able to hold it for the length needed to finish with details

dont do it

1. Do a small part of it
2. Repeat

Maybe your not starting is your subconscious telling you project is a bad idea.

>>1230451
Found out how much voltage and amperage the device requires. Google the wire gauge for that amount.

The lineman's splice and some heat shrink tubing are the best you are going to get.

>>1230451
What gauge depends on the current drawn. Cross sectional are should be at least as much as the existing wire as a guide, extremely long runs might need slightly larger but probably it'll be fine.
In a car crimps are king. Soldering is great as an electrical connection but not ideal as a mechanical connection.
I solder every day but I wouldn't want to be upside down in a footwell with one and all flux spitting in my eye.

>>1230458
Yea, I know I need to learn to solder with an iron but I don't want be still in the learners phase soldering next to my leather seats and carpet lol.

What car of crimps?

Should 10ft require a higher gauge wire?

I'm still trying to find online how many amps my radar detector pulls....
