Quality ones, your gonna go with Adobe. Very expensive.

Had good luck with convert x to DVD.

In other news, if it's for personal consumption, why is your media not in Plex?

Normally using KODI, but I've been working on this movie for more than 2 months straight and wanted to give it the old school DVD polish, too.

Just so I can make it fit in with the other movies on my shelves.

As for your recommendation, I'll try, thanks!

If anyone else has a recommendation, please tell me.

>>1084793
The tool is better than I could have hoped. Thanks man!

Yeah, google dozerboymiller. I think he sells his plans on ebay. You can make the pitch just like a fog horn with a bigger end bit. I made a set of train horns for my car from his plans.

Just realize for it to be super low it has to be big. Like BIG.

Here's about as small as you can get for a real fog horn sound

And one of the lower pitched ones from the guy I mentioned about.

You need a lot of air too. I run an 11 gallon tank and it'll give me about 30 second of horn until empty.

No but i am interest. 10 air horns currently installing and leaving room for 5 more. Other anon. How loud is your train horn when comparied to say. The little red plastic wolo air horns? Does it sound like the expensive ass real ones?

Imagine an impeller like this, but with a few neodymium magnets on the other side, which are attracted by matching magnets on a disc bolted to the HDD motor. I have a small pond pump that works by a similar principle. The impeller and the axle have no direct connection to the driving coils, so the water never gets in contact with the electronics inside it.

Teflon diaphragm pump? Bit expensive though.

That impeller would then be stuck to one of the walls of a tank like this, which would also have other laser cut acrylic parts in order to function as a pump. At the top of the plate there would be several holes of small diameter, so that the pumped ferric chloride would spray against the board I'm currently etching. This would be repeated on the other side of the tank to etch double faced boards.

I live in what's pretty much a ghetto. They don't care.

Even if they did, these little shits MADE it my problem when they started crawling all over my countertops.

The only just course of action if vengeance and genocide.

Borax kills roaches and most other crawly things. CHEAP AND NOT TOXIC

>Could i even make these myself?

If you have to ask, no. Not in any way they'd hold up to use, at least. Gears are one of those obnoxious things you either need a ridiculously expensive machine to make any kind of, or hassle with a much less expensive machine and semi-complicated setup in order to just make one kind.

They're ALSO one of those obnoxious things that are present in damn near everything mechanical, but have virtually no standards defining their properties. Thus, they're almost always made to order for the manufacturer of whatever they go in.

Tl;dr: Try googling "[device name] replacement parts/gears". Otherwise, good fucking luck.

>>1084220
tried that, no luck. its too old / not well enough supported. Im gonna head out tomorrow and see if anyone at a local hobby store can recommend anything like it.

>>1084220
No there are standards. You need to find gears that have a matching module(a measure) for them to mesh.

>>1083962
Fill in all the holes in your attic. Put wire mesh over your vents, etc.

Seal all entry points after ALL squirrels that were going in there have been eliminated. Take it from me, you don't want to close up an entry while a squirrel with babies is nested in there. It will sit there all day and chew through whatever you put up. I've had them chew through an entire 2x4 in a few hours.

I've fought this battle.
Above anons are correct.

I even loaded the area with moth balls per internet advice. They were all outside on the ground a few days later.

Mr. Laruso,

Your attempt to grow marijuana indoors has failed due to you planting your weed tree in a red rock. Better luck next time.

Focus on keeping the circulation going
Put a clear plastic bag or container over it to raise humidity so some leaves recover.
Gradually increase the airflow.
Be careful not to overwater. Distilled water can help distressed plants.

Sudden drops in humidity are harmful to plants. Looks to me like that's what happened.
Lack of light would cause yellowing.

I would suggest looking at what type of tree this is..... looks like a ficus, but if it's an outdoor tree it should be OUTDOORS. Tree's aren't babies, they can handle themselves just fine...

Those are IFB's (insulating firebricks). You probably want the k-26 standard dimension, but there are others. Just google k-26 firebrick. They're not hard to find.

my local tractor supply carries them for 3 bucks a piece.

>>1083190
That's about the going rate unless you buy them by the box for a discount. Pretty cheap unless you're building a large furnace or kiln or something. If you have to order them, the shipping's not too bad because they're pretty light.

You must explain how your wife will use the tentacles

Or he could just google the question and delete this thread? Because a google search will tell him more then anyone on here.. Only one who might know anything remotely related is the RC guys and six axis sex robot guy.

>(genuinely 100% not related to the election)

Obviously
Why would retards be panic buying when the NRA endorsed candidate got elected?

>>1082564
Because people want to shoot the president or rioters. America's in a social tailspin rn.

I just want a rifle for fun.

Buy a drill press on Craigslist. Old ones are cheap and are built to last.

looks like HDPE compression fittings.
They take a tool to squeeze down and aren't reusable.
I prefer copper pipe myself.

My dad is the same way. I personally love those little plastic connectors. Easy to work with, easy to replace, and they hold up to the abuse when I worked at a water bottling place.

Don't do this! Probably a lead wheel weight.

The lifting capacities for the excavator (Åkerman H12B) can be seen in the table.

I plotted the lifting capacities of the machine. In the image the blue line is from the table, up to 9m and the thinner is extrapolated from that data. The red line is the calculated max weight that will (might?) tip the machine.
Now I'd like to have the boom to withstand the tipping weight to that it wont break, and I will feel it when it gets light on the back when the max reach will be close. Rather that than having the boom breaking.
So I'd like to know if someone has mad calculation skills to figure out the tube size(s) and the material thickness.
As stated earlier 200*400mm is in my mind at the moment with thickness around 8mm but is this overkill or ridiculously flimsy?
Also input of supports in the end of the machine would be nicer than nice. So that I can reinforce it to be as strong as possible with minimum weight. I'm considering adding a fin to the top side of the first boom to strengthen it but I don't know if it has any real significance.
As the load will inevitably swing a bit it needs to be strong enough sideways also to that it wont bend, but the main force will be predictable...

Any input or ideas?

Either put a film on it. Or buy colored acrylic.
