I want something like this, but in my garage.

I'm getting closer. It looks like I need to build an execution pit.

Does anyone have any plans for building a gallows? I promise it's not for hanging people.

It's for a heavy bag. Yeah, that's what it's for.

>>1076744
they are not overpriced because the material itself is expensive, gimmick depends on if you really need the added strength supposedly.

>are expensive tools overbuilt for the job overpriced gimmick?

it is really a personal choice, but op i suggest you go swing a normal hammer to start with

Yes. In fact, most new tools are gimmicky shit. I prefer old tools. Pic related.

>>1076754
what's your trade? what do you need the spike for?

>>1076504
Right because not stupid ass plastic all the way around.

But i mainly work on automotive electronics so I only need little exposed wiring tips for installing into plugs.

Right because that's the one I've used and that's the one I'm good with and I'm not going to spend more money on another tool that does the same shit

Ideal Industries Stripmaster Wire Stripper,
pic related - pretty similar to your right

yeah, twice. got PTSD from it.

>lathe makes a fucking weird noise
>panic and shut it down
>go get supervisor
because of drill holes it was intermittent cut making the funny noise, nothing to worry about

phew!
that was the closest i came to accident.

>>1076490
Not a lathe story as such, but an industrial accident nonetheless. I used to work for jaguar/land rover in the UK and I saw somebody get stamped by a machine used to press car doors out of sheet metal. He was under the stamp and dropped the control pad, it swung on its cord and hit part of the supporting structure. That bang was enough to activate the press and turn him into a puddle.

>>1078489
What type of base does it have? ie B22 E27.

Just get one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-Edison-Screw-Light-Frosted/dp/B01HZRNFJ8 it will provide plenty of light for a dark room, I have a 75w LED equivalent in my dining room and it provides plenty of light.

>>1078494
After some research I'll say it's a E27, I'm not sure how to check that without measuring it though.

Yours look good, thx. Any advice for a lampshade ?

>>1078489
unscrew your lightbulb and take a picture

What you want is a second charging coil and a battery. These are common on ride on mowers etc. One problem they have is they deliver power in pulses as the magnet passes so you will need something to smooth this out like a battery.

>>1078349
So, connecting to existing magneto (which generates spark power) is bad idea?

I don't know how large those pulses are, but i'm willing to bet that proper capacitor (and couple of zener diodes, basically simplest AC/DC power supply scheme) would be enough.

>>1078352

No, it won't work. Take the pants off your head and quit being stupid.

rebar, fibermesh, and wire mesh.

You can use all three.

> export the data onto an electronic interface
What do you mean by that? You can already got the data on your PC from the RS232->USB adapter. Why would you add the extra step of putting it on Telnet through a Raspberry Pi?

>>1078062
i haven't figured out a way to get the measurements onto the PC. the machine works, and i know it's capable of putting out data, i'm just not sure how to handshake the device.

>>1078144
short the pins on the 3.5mm jack marked 'data send' and it squirts out the displayed reading to the serial port.

Live in a van faggot

Not really. Log cabin kits usually cost about 3x what the price is to put together so that wouldn't work.

I'd live in a van or make a tiny home on a trailer so the city couldn't bitch.

>>1077821
Where I live $110k would build you a nice 2-3 bedroom home with a garage if you already own the land. If, for some reason, that is not enough just build a 'mother in law' unit and garage first.

I've seen some very nice 2 car garages with a one bedroom on top. Or, if you have the space, you can do a garage with the unit on the side. Either way, you can live there until you save up more money to build 'the house' and then rent out the other unit.

This is the product I'm thinking of using, a cement parge that is apparently good to 200psi. I'd buy enough to apply to the whole of the uphill interior foundation, in case the water wants to seep in elsewhere.

Signs of long term water seepage. Not to be a downer but anything you do inside will be a waste of time especially if you want to build a framed wall.

May be ok for a year or so but then the you can have a nice mold sandwich with your 9" VCT tile.

If you plan on living there for a while invest in good exterior waterproofing and good basement ventilation.

>>1077815

>>>1077825

This anon knows...any successful repair of foundation water/drainage issues are done for the outside in...

What are the basics behind this project? Its an interesting concept. I currently work at a glass shop so I have access to all kinds of mirror/glass/plexi/ lexan. I also have a working knowledge on electronics and carpentry so I don't think thus would be real difficult for me to build. I currently have a 42" Samsung plasma TV taken apart and being used as a table top. I could just use the frame from the TV and install my own glass and leds into it

>>1077223
neutral is your earth. maybe he means that it contains no dedicated earth? aka, a backup neutral

>>1077223

Find junction box, use existing wires to pull new complete set of wires.

With GFI it's easy enough to check whether the wire is neutral or earth, just light a bulb with it. If the GFI trips it was really earth.

If the GFI doesn't trip and the light works then one option is to simply ignore it and install the lamp armature without earth (if it's plastic then earthing adds bugger all).

Couldnt you add fabric to the top and make it more of a hood?

Also print out a design on paper and try to transfer a stencil of the design on mask and then paint it.

Maybe chop up some yellow lense safety glasses and adapt them to the eye holes?

Look to Lucha Libre masks for inspiration

Im high as fuck but those are my thoughts

Look up an old czw wrestler named joker. Copy his face paint with sharpies. It's exactly what I did one year.

I kinda want a more scary thing, you know? but I cant think of something ):

must be too much shade. you're gonna have to top or fell some trees. if neighboring houses/buildings are the cause of the excessive shade you're gonna have to burn them down, there's no other way

>>1076449
huge shade tree is the why.
but does moss cause much damage?

>>1076450
moss traps moisture but if it is properly lined with waterproofing and with proper ventilated spacing then it should be fine

otherwise it will rust nails and rot timber etc

Could your question be anymore broad?
