So how to I make patches /diy

you sew them, maybe you should ask in /cgl/ about it

/k/ has whole threads about patches, but I think they get them made by some manufacturer.

depends on the level of quality you want

you can print onto fabric, then glue that onto a thicker piece of something

you can order them, but you will probably have to buy them in quantities

you can do kind of a photo transfer thing using a printed paper copy and modge podge

you could use an iron transfer tshirt kit

you can learn to embroider

>>1103721
/out/ does as well

the more well known guy I've seen orders them from someplace in asia I believe

I managed to peice back together a broken mug, but what is the best food safe filler and sealer I can use to complete the repair?

Molten lead

Just swing by a thrift store and replace the mug. Not much you can do once the ceramic is chipped. Very difficult to find a glue that is waterproof+food safe+microwave proof+high temp.

>>1103530
Just get a new one for a couple of bucks. Its not worth your time and effort

Do these desktop-type fume extractors even do anything? Why are these glorified bathroom fans so damn expensive? Should i just stick a filter onto the business end of a vaccuum cleaner and call it a day?

What do you want to accomplish?

Would it be easier/cheaper to do whatever you want outside and pick up a respirator instead ?
>>

I already own a gasmask with filters, just wondering what a viable solution is for a home electronics lab. A brand name Hakko or Weller extractor costs like 500$ and that seems pretty ridiculous to me.

If it's something on your desk, consider one of these cheap $80-ish fume hoods for airbrushing. It comes with a hose and a fan to vent it out a window.

Other than that, you can make a much higher power one like I have. Take a plastic cloths or storage bin, cut it so it can lay flat on a table, put an AC filter on the bottom of it, cut a hole in the back of it and pick up one of those super cheap fart fan bathroom fans from Home Depot and just pick up some hose to attach it.

My dear friend has a broken lada, and he can't get it fixed anywhere because it is as old as time. It can't be turned on, and probably needs a whole new engine, but where can you get lada engines or how do you fix one? He really needs it fixed soon.

Parts are pretty common if you're in eastern europe, if you're anywhere else you might have to look online. AFAIK they share a lot of parts between models so it doesn't have to be for your exact one.

>>1103447
Check any local junk yards. Pulling and dropping a engine are something you two shouldn't be doing considering you're asking here.

Hi DIY,

In februari a friend and I will start a little hobby company. We hope it will be a bit bigger and profitable in the future, but first just start because our passion.
The main idea is to design and build climbing holds and volumes.
Now have we checked different youtube movies about it and read a lot of different articles about it, but we havn't spoken to someone who already did this and got great results.
Is there someone on DIY who could help us out with just some pictures, tips and tricks to get the best results.
Please contact kik:grandojo

Cheers!

First, you need to consider why people should buy from you? What do you have to offer compared to other suppliers? Specifically, if you're charging more or the same (since you don't have a reputation) for a comparable product, what makes your product special. If you're going cheaper, how do you intend to compete with economies of scale large manufacturers are enjoying the benefits of?
>>
>>1103265
True we thought about it.
We want to create good quality holds for a normal price. I have 16 years of experience with climbing and my friend is climbing for like 10 years now.
The holds we're gonna make will be the "indoor" holds for different climbing and bouldering areas. We climb outside almost every month so we really want to spend some time to create nice holds.
We don't want to copy the rock, but there must be similar features on the hold tho.

All this above is our idea for the company.
We're working on our business plan right now and we're not gonna start with goals that are to hard to reach.
We will have most fun to build our own holds and when when we are ready for it we're gonna sell them.

So even if the company will fail, we still are able to create our own good climbing holds and thats what its all about.
Our passion

What DIY steps can I take to prevent catching seasonal flu and other illnesses?

Kill self

Become shut in, have groceries delivered, convert front of house into isolation room, clean all packages with bleach and heat. Make sure you wear a full radiation suit with supplied air.

Get a vaccination.

Wash your hands all the time, use hand sanitizer after touching anything in public

Dont be around people that cough, look or act sick.

Theres no way to avoid it. You can strengthen your immune system so they dont hit as hard or last as long, but if you have to deal with people or go places people go you'll probably get it.

Or go sars grade autism and wear a mask around in public.

Newgger here, I have a shitty LG tracfone and I was wondering if I could put the tracfone's SIM card and put in a s5 galaxy and make it basically work the same as the LG tracfone (like buy minutes and put it into the galaxy instead of the LG)?

Can you be a little more specific?

If your new phone is unlocked or locked but to the same provider as your old phone then no problem. You just need to check that the sim size s the same.

I managed to buy my hick self a punching bag and a rack (pic related). But alas the wall Im installing the rack on is too thin for them BBC screws. Any ideas on what I could do? Initially thought maybe buy some wood, stick that on the wall and then screw the rack onto that?

Hey /diy/ bros. I'm a very amateur wood worker, aiming to be a luthier as an end goal. My question is, can you make a box, using only box/finger joint? Not only the sides but also the top and bottom. I am wondering because I am having some redwood sent to me in slabs and I lack the proper tools to make a real guitar body, so I want to make a simple box. My problem is lack of experience so I decided to turn to you guys for help. Pic not very related.

If the intent is to make a strait up box, you would be better of making it with an inset top and bottom. You could do box joints but you don't really gain anything from it. They are harder to do then more traditional methods and no stronger.

That said, yeah, you can do it.
>>
>>1102437
You could, but it's not the most effective. Using a dado, rabbet or groove joint for the top and bottom is a lot easier to do at no cost in strength. Finger/box joints just aren't needed when you have that much surface area to work with.

It would probably look cool though.
