AFAICS if you putty the sides first and put on a single layer of varnish you'd be good to go.

OP:

Check this site out:

Lots of simple hints.

Okay, thanks. I've already tried vinegar (which is the main thing I use to clean with in general) and baking soda. I guess I'll try the charcoal next.

call up a dry cleaner or carpet cleaner and ask if they can ozone it for you. they will probably say no but it's worth a shot

looks like stain, which can go pretty deep.

>>1087986
See the chip in second pic. It looks like theres some yellowish wood about 0.5mm underneath.

Thats stain or putty?

it has already been filled with putty. that's why someone painted it. You may have to scrape all that shit out and use a stainable putty if you plan to do so

Could it just be clogged?

Get more accurate then.

>>1087936
>Get more accurate then.
Anything more specific?
I'm currently using a jig that attaches to a very accurate sled, but the "teeth" it makes aren't consistent in size.
There's a tiny difference no matter what I do.
With pine it's close enough, but oak is like working with hardened steel.

It them with a mallet. Hitting things with other things solves almost all problems in carpentry .

portable band saws

check specs

If you were doing it by hand before, is a reciprocating saw/saber saw/sawzall enough of an upgrade? Maybe you could even go cheap with a jigsaw.

Just get a pack of quality, long, 10 tpi blades and go as slow as you can without burning out the motor.

If there's a rat's nest of wires in there, there might be some crosstalk going on that's throwing things off. Clean it up, maybe add some grounded aluminum foil as ghetto shielding.

Without a scope, only other thing I can suggest is adding some LC filtration in addition to the normal bypass cap.

>>1087879
It is a rats nest, but it doesn't corrupt unless I rev the motors, and if I use a different blaster with the same kind of motors, and rev it right next to it, it also is unaffected, so I didn't think it needed shielding.

Perhaps I need a bypass cap on the arduino battery pads also? Although I thought it already had one.


By LC filter, do you mean something like this?

I'd just put that right before the arduino power hookup, right?

As a last resort, I can just drive the mosfets with transistors, and then run the whole thing off a separate small battery. It'd be a lot nicer to just run it all on one battery though.

I do have a waveforms DAD which has a digital oscilloscope, I can try using that.
I'd want to measure right on the motor leads, right?

It's late now, but I can try measuring it tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.

>>1087864
>The blaster fires darts with two flywheel motors, and when I rev them the max7219 sometimes gets corrupted.
maybe during revving the battery voltage dips down below your digital electronics minimum required voltage causing glitching

Motors usually burn out before solid state electronics do. Try removing the motor and connecting a battery to it. If it spins the problem is somewhere else, if it doesn't replace the motor.

>>1087828
Check the belts, wouldn't hurt to unscrew the thing and take a look around, if you are unsure of your ability to put it back, take photos and carefull log whatever you are doing

If I take/post pictures will you guys help me through it?

Sorry to be such a pain, I just really want to learn. I love tape but so many units are broken and if I find out how to repair them I would be so happy.

>>1087777
I find that it is important to get lots of sleep. If I start skipping days, sure I get a lot more time in, but my overall quality of work and thinking go down. Try exercise OP.

By getting lucky quads of luck like that

Lastly, the chandelier.

>>1087752

I installed a very similar dimmer in my house. Even incandescent bulbs buzz with it! I think it's inherent with this type of dimmer.

>>1087674
3d print, some shipping stores do it locally. Just have to design it first.

>>1087674
Could it just be replaced with a flat piece of plastic with three holes? If so, just take a strip and drill it. If not, that is if the protrusions/bumps(how do I call that?) are essential, just cut them from another strip and glue one on top of another. Or try to "machine" them. What sort of equipment do you have? This "machining" could be done with a simple dremel and file.

>>1087674
solvent weld it with some dichloromethane/methylene chloride

Learn what sells and keep in touch with your local market.

Make durable, comfortable clothing.If your customers smile and buy more, you're doing it right.

Sure, but when the weather and winter is cold and windy you want to have something that is windproof

also the black sand has some gold telluride left in it so its actually going to make gold too

Are you asking a question or just blogging?

>>1087590this is DIY, there must be someone here whos done just what Im planning

I have one application!

2 small exhaust bolts on a high performance 2-stroke, the heat causes the blue loctite I use on the other fasteners to fail and the vibrations cause the exhaust to rattle loose. I cannot think of the temp range either loctite are rated for but the red shit is the solution for me. I have also managed to loosen the bolts with minimal fuss as well.

>>1087373
>impossible to remove without the application of heat
wait.. do car manufacturers put that shit on some bolts?

>>1087408
>I cannot think of the temp range either loctite are rated
The general-purpose blue(243) and red(268) are rated from -65F° to 360F°. There's also a high temperature blue(246) and red(272) for -65F° to 450F°, or Ultra High Temperature blue(2422) and red(2620) for -65F° to 650F°.

In related news, did you know they'll just send you whatever catalogs you ask for? Henkels is neat.

I'll preface this by telling you this: don't fucking do it. It's cool when you're in junior high, but then you grow up and realize you've got a shitty tattoo that you need to deal with. You absolutely will regret it. The only tattoos I have that I regret are the ones I did myself.

That being said, here's how I did it:

You need:
A pencil (un-sharpened)
A sewing needle
Some thread
India ink

Simply use the thread to fasten the needle to the end of the pencil, leaving about 1/2-3/4" sticking past the end of the pencil. Then, wind the thread around the end of the needle as close to the point as you can get it. Then just tie the string off and that's that.

Then just dip the tip into the ink and start stabbing out your design. You can stencil it out with pen or something, or just kind of free-hand it. It'll turn out pretty janky either way.

I recommend designs like OP's pic. Simple outline type designs with no fill. Solid fill is a pain in the ass with stick and poke. I ended up making a shitty prison-style tattoo machine for later ones with solid fill.

>>1086943
Alternatively use a chopstick with preferably a crack in it to fit the pin into. Chopsticks tend to be thinner than pencils and allow for greater accuracy.

Also dude I know the feeling, made my own prison style tattoo gun out of an alarm clock, phone cable, electric toothbrush, a pen and some sweatbands. It was crude but it did the job, filled in my tattoo's nicely. I acknowledge my own design was shit in comparison to professional standards but I still felt a sense of pride.
Shit was cash.

Google it, dumbass teenager
