If you live north, get a bunch of double paned glass and aluminum poles as main support. Build a wood frame for more stability if needed. Walls do NOT need to be glass. A cheap plastic, wood, cement, or any material you want is fine.
And lastly, make the roof segment facing south as large as possible, extend is farther down than the North face of the roof.

Harbor Freight has a cheap greenhouse to get you started. I'd start there in case you decide it's not something you're really into, you wouldn't waste a bunch of money.

If u count spending a few grand on lighting and growing supplies to turn my spare bedroom into one then I have. Highly suggest some sort of sprayer so u dont have to bail water all of the fucking time. Quality led grow lights will help trick you olants into thibking its summer while also being energy efficient. And a wood stove will help if its cold where u are. All my shit died and i gave the gear away. Best of luck to u. Ill never fucking garden again. One of the worlds largest greenhouses is in town. They use some sort of plastic for the roof. Its clear and the best description is they buikt a tin roof with it. I dunno. They are fucking jews so i know its cheap. Ill ask them where they get it. Dont wast your money buying harbor frieght shit

Bumped from page 9 because of how helpful I am.

DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE

cyanoacrylate aka super glue, krazy glue, etc can start fires if placed on natural fibers like cotton or wool

That looks like it is felt which is normally compressed animal hair

no doubt anon, this ones a job for Mexican Armour - Mexican at the front, Mexican at the rear - while you retreat a safe distance away, after instructing them to carefully and loudly describe anything that attacks them. You missing any pets, family members, or anything?

Good luck, man. They're real fighters, even after they get fried half to death after chewing into your live wires.

my grandmother had a 30lb raccoon fall through her ceiling and she is 82 and shooed it outside. nothing that is up there can hurt you more than a few shots would fix.

thinking about getting a backpack. i believe its more handy and better to carry. The one on the picture seems alright, google makita tool backpack, ive seen on of those IRL and it looks like there is more room in he middle, for example to a laptop.
it also has a hard plastc shell covering the bottom part, which is pretty good. saves your eq. from any water on the ground and protects against impact( a little)

Also; could you help me with a calculation? Im studying electrics and i cant get this
equation to work on my calculator
And i cant really start a new thread.

It is better. I'm a gas mechanic and have pic related as a test run. You have all your stuff with you, without having this one-sided load on one shoulder. You also have both hands free (which helped me not falling down stairs). I'd recommend it.

thats right! didn't think about the whole two hands free thing

Hey OP I can help!
Drill a little hole in the bolt (vertically down the bolt, not horizontally) and install a small nail/firing pin
Alternatively spot weld the end and shape in with sandpaper to give it a little firing pin made of weld.

Next you take some metal tubing sealed at one end, line the hollow opening at the back of the bolt. Once lined up install a spring, to test you have done it right pulling the bolt back should compress the spring so letting go of it will make the bolt shoot forward.
On the other end of the assembly (the end where the firing pin goes) install a preferriably riffled barrel you can insert a round into.
Get all this shit stick together but make it look like a replica

Pull the bolt back and lock it into position (the spring should be compressed) and load a round into the barrel. If you've done this correctly then knocking the bolt up should make the spring push the bolt with such power that the firing pin strikes the primer of the bullet sending a projectile down your barrel of choice.

Congratulations, you have a working pop gun that shoots genuine boolits.

i think that's how professional lumberjacks did it with the tree behind my house so it seems like a good method

Stumps? Drill 15-20 deep holes in stump surface, pour 1 lliter of diesel into holes. Wait til the stump dies horribly (late summer if done in spring), then yank out dead stump with saw and rope/chain.

>>1084448
how dirty was after they left?
is it worth messing with a tarp (saw dust)?
or should I just leave it there?
maybe one pass with a lawnmower?

I'm asking all these questions because asshole neighbors

I think someone in a c course I had two years ago had used soapbox snap(?) Or something like that. Have you tried googling for ladder logic/contact logic for arduino?

>>1084286
yeah well, i fund that soapbox one and others, but I wonder if there were an specific one that is the common to go for, also easy, like, for dumb people.
I might try those then.
Just want to automate a lamp with a PIR, a photoresistor and a push button tbw.

>>1084293
that is pretty easy man... i would just use arduino ide for stuff that simple.

>>1084129
Oh, definitely. I've got an old oscilloscope from the 70's that has 28AWG leads, so those pins are well-suited to the task. "Thin Lizzy" they called it.

I was going to test it with a neon sign transformer, but I just cut it open. They are certainly thin!

I love how the cold parts of the cat are exactly those where a Siamese cat has it's cream points.

Well who wouldn't want that. But it's not something you can just make in your room. I think the closest you get is night vision goggles the military use. Or other big infrared systems, radars and such on planes. Btw the chinese supposedly developed a new kind of "quantum radar" recently.

You can't see radio waves because they are too long and go through stuff. There are radio telescopes, not sure if they output images or what. But those are nowhere close to being goggles, you need many of them spread across a huge area.

As for short wavelengths, I'm not sure there's equipment to make them into images or video. You can find portable x-ray machines though. Maybe there's some other kind of medical equipment.

Besides that you could also turn sound into video with echolocation. Or silent videos can be turned into sound for that matter by the vibration of objects in the video.

There's something I thought about though, you know the movement detector in the alien movies?

It should in theory be possible to make something like that to "see" through walls and such. It could use normal wifi signals.

Depends on your tools. I tend to smash out tenons with a skilsaw. A plane, hammer and chisel.

Tenons are a whole different game. Having the right tools for the job is a must.

my father collects tools.

I happen to have access to a mortising drill(small stroke-length)

I suspect you had a terms malfunction...
which thing is the thing that is difficult?

>pic is an example of one of the projects I'd like to learn this on.

>>1082261
>like how do you make certain joints?

howtousegoogle.jpg

mortises are made with a mallet and chisel, with or without drilling out first to remove bulk

tennons are cut with a saw

laps are cut with a saw/chisel

Long haul automaton is already being tested, and I bet be in place in a decade. There will probably be new jobs created though to get it from a central depot to the customer, as their sites may be construction with "roads" or just shitty back alleys.
>But I'm not an expert or even a trucker.

>>1081955
When automation comes closer to being a threat. Unions will start creating laws preventing companys from going full automation.

For example truck driving is big in the US because we don't have rail systems like the EU. Id say you would see automation come into the EU 10 years before the US would consider it.

buy a power supply that can be put in constant current mode (it turns the volts down to stop the amps coming up). CC is incredibly useful and you'll never regret spending the extra dosh.

digital scopes age really badly.
a 10 year old tektronix is going to be hilariously slow, clunky and featureless compared to a new rigol at the same price.

if you're self-teaching rather than troubleshooting, you'll want a function generator to go with the 'scope.

you don't need a better multimeter unless you're dickwaving, but whatever. flukes are nice.

>>1081420
Cool deal, thanks for the info.
I thought the same about the scope, unless I can get an older one at an insane deal, but looking at many of the features on the new ones would be the way to go. Will definitely check out a function generator. May invest in a fluke, but like you said, so far my el cheapo does what I need it to. Maybe I need more accuracy when doing the single board rig, but I figure by that point I would have also made some more additions to the lab.

Any suggestions on a CC brand/model?

> 3) A better multi meter. Using a random Southwire one from the Home Depot.

If it has a fast (semi-) latching continuity test mode, a decent display, is auto-ranging and doesn't eat batteries just keep using it. IMO those are the only things which matter, precision/protection ... irrelevant.
