Good luck getting compensation on your "act of god"
Insurance companies love to take your money and then weasel out any time they are actually needed.

It's getting ready to rain a couple inches before they get here.

I don't have garbage insurance, they're covering it. Was just looking to talk to fellow home owners that have been there.

What are you going to be doing for the furnace/fuel? That will play a big role in if the steel drum is good enough.

>>1098384
Most likely finding a second hand wood stove. Maybe a pellet stove as they are more common where I live.

It better be super low pressure. Drums can't handle much pressure.

Peterson won't sell to you directly so you'd have to find another site

get a sparrow set, they are cheap and sell to individuals. Don't go crazy either, get the basic bitch set until you progress

first practice on padlocks, you can buy master #3 for cheap. get comfortable with single pin picking, raking, and shimming.
then move on from there, look up bosnianbill on youtube. He will teach you everything that you need to know

Here's my set.

Had to order it after my tenants decided they wanted to give me a blank key for their room. After changing the deadbolt locks they were shocked to see their room was open with a screwdriver and a new doorknob sitting on their bed.

I'm not pro, but I can get a door within a few mins.

what form is it currently in?

>>1094711
I'm not sure if they're all going to melt at the same temperatures or combine properly if they're from various peices of jewelry and what not. Also you probably shouldn't steal peoples gold that's not cool bro.

>>1094714
Flakes. In a bucket, but could be moved into anything

>How can I have the metal more heat (omg Im sorry for the bad english Im from mexico and I dont know shit about how to say some things)
>Its ok if I use a piece of metal from a train station as an anvil?
How can I refine even more the blade of the knife? something like a mirror finish

come on man, at least put some effort into it

>>1105878
crush it and use some in cakes / muffins / baked goods.

put some in hot chocolate

or crush it and snort it

Use it as fuel.

cmon now, if you're here you know exactly what to do with it

>>1105863
Have you tried a local automotive upholstery shop?

>>1105863
I used to buy this at a local fabric store.
Occasionally a local flea-market would have rolls.

>>1105863
joann fabric
Go in with coupons

>>1105844
Little rough around the edges, but banging none the less.

>>1105844
lead line is weak and uninspiring

follows too closely to the rhythm part

>>1105844
sucks ass lol

normally there are clips on the light that grip the housing. It looks like yours doesnt have them. Are they broken off?

>>1105585
Get a gun. Problem solved.

But solid doors and put bars on your windows.

Those are your 2 options.

If your not home and someone REALLY wants to get in they are going to get it in.

and curtains

You should go ask /k/.

Dragon dildos. Lots of dragon dildos.

>>1105575
That is like asking whats the best way to remove your fingers. There are many ways. None of them are easy or pleasant.

Heat, chemicals, power scrapers, the list goes on. Either way you are looking at a day of hell.

>>1105575

Propane touch and a putty knife...

Good luck...

What about this stain?

>>1105545
This looks like meme garbage and is not a mill.

>>1105545
An entry level mill is a $600 hobo fright mini mill or an old $1200 Bridgeport on Craigslist

Add some stepper motors and some drivers/brain box and you've got a fully functional cnc for under $2000

>>1105570
the guys who laud the HF mills/lathes are right in that if you rebuild the whole thing and replace all the plastic parts, you get a dope little machine.

but the amount of money/time you spend doing it, you would have been better off with that 50 year old bridgeport.

Baby steps anon, go find some nice used leather boots that need some TLC first and fix them up nice, might actually be do-able for 50 pounds.

Otherwise if you want to make them, learn basic leather work skills first.

>No experiece with shoe building or repair
I have a feeling this is not something someone should /diy/ without having some level of experience with, or without knowing someone who is

I would predict the results would be far below expectations and end up costing more than just buying a pair

>>1105521
Probably but it still be a fun worth while project which may eventually lead to something worth the effort.
