>put a video signal from coax into it

They used those of that in some cases but the pinouts were varied. Best check the schematic of said equipment.

what is google?

the BBC micro used DIN for TTL-level RGB video
but it also used near-idential DINs for the cassette deck, RS423 serial and econet network.
other kit of the era would use DIN for the keyboard, or the power supply, or for mics with phantom power, or MIDI, or pretty much anything.
tl;dr you're fucked. it's the same wild west bullshit as pre-microusb phone chargers.

First off, make some sketches and get those creative juices flowing through you because even some plaster and a good sense of decoration can make the coziest of cribs there has ever been.

Once there you can include essentials, like noise and heat insulation, air dehumidification (if it is that the basement happens to be damp like 93% of them) that can influence drastically how you manage your budget, and will directly affect how you get along with the place, say, the difference between crashing a few times a week because you didn't find another place, to loving the he'll out of your tiny place

Proper plasting/painting or in lack of that, proper decoration so your basement doesn't look like a Goddamn Birkenau sim

Honestly, I guess there isn't much lore that I can recommend that isn't purely cosmetic, because goddamn thing is already there so not much can be done to it

it's not that complicated

frame some walls, screw them to something solid, cover with something, then stalk the person you want to drag down to the new torture chamber till the opportunity presents itself

Are you renting or is it your place? Will anyone be staying in the basement? What is tje purpose of the wall?

Maybe paint it in anti electrical paint like used for electrolysis/electroplating except for the places you want the channel in and use it as the anode so it remvoo material from the exposed channels?

Afaik there are proprietary anisotropic etchants for copper, but they aren't going to beat ferric chloride in price. And I doubt you can achieve 20µm wall thickness with 200µm deep grooves.
If this were my problem, I'd consider using a 200µm thick copper stencil on top of the base copper. It might be worth checking what milling and laser engraving can do nowadays, too.

use a hacksaw
you are in university, they have machines, use those machines


http://dcknives.blogspot.ca/p/poor-mans-etching-power-supply.html

ive used this method of like a stamp kind of etching, aswell as making a bath out of salty water and adding salt or water to get the desired resistance of the total circuit

hackaday posted an article about this today , i havent read it all yet, but it seems similar to how i do mine

Wood fill then redo the coating

Sold in a month, goes under the "Normal wear and tear" category. Stairs are a high traffic area, so some damage is to be expected. I have serious doubts that the new owners will even notice.

lightly sand with higher grit paper just to remove finish

use putty, let dry

lightly sand smooth

brush some poly on there, and done

Another hole in the middle.

chisel old stuff, lay new tiles, recover with mortar stuff?

go to a place that sells tiles and try and find someone who isn't a Buckley, if you can, they're going to be able to provide much better info

1. If you managed to harden things properly you probably blunted your drill bit quite a lot drilling through it. Check to see if its blunt or chipped.

2. You said you hardened the blade not the handle, did you anneal the handle after forging? It might have work hardened.

2.5 If it did work harden and it's the same metal, you probably haven't hardened the blade properly, given that you drilled through the blade but not the handle.

>>1074472
What type of steel?
Some high carbon steels will work-harden (especially if they've got chromium and nickel) and become near impossible to drill through if it got a bit hot. The drill bit might also have become blunted and overheated as well, so make sure its kept sharp and cool, when I drill austenitic stainless steel which is notorious for work hardening I plunge, cool the bit in water, plunge, cool and repeat.

You can just normalise the handle section and that might help

>>1074478
I drilled the hole before hardening the blade (otherwise my heattreatment would be horrible). It is a new drill i have bought it yesterday since I wasn't able to drill throu the steel with an old one. But it works easy with standard hardwarestore iron.

Light yourself on fire when you're supposed to show your first trick, make it look like an accident.

>>1074430
Fucking kek, genius! Do this OP, post pics of results!

>>1074422
Official course you can fucking skip it. You were never asked if you could do it. It's not your fault they decided you were going to do something for them without asking.

What are you, a 90s cartoon?

You know what you do. You contact the talent show and tell them your cousin asked if he could do the magic show instead. Then you tell him the day before.

You can get away with this sort of thing because you are 12 or something.

Get a bunch of those struts which you can screw up and secure everything before your 2nd floor joins the first floor really fucking fast.

>>1074150
It will create point load if it's not in exact same spot as the posts from the dripped beam. Please hurry, ceiling drywall is cracking in kitchen and I can't go upstairs!

>>1074145
Fill the first floor with concrete.

You could print shapes out and cover them with resin.

>>1074025
print shapes out of what materials?
I also do not have a 3D printer.

So you need to clarify, IMO. Do you want a flight suit like OP pic, with Turbines attached? Or do you want a hover suit, with no fixed wings?

That's really not safe m8. Just buy a new one from the dollar store.

>>1075992
Yeah those are literally dollar mugs.

I used food/dishwasher safe glue and the color is from food decorating dust. So I'm really not worried about that, and I know I could have just replaced it for cheap The point was to make something.

>>1075927

You can tell no one from /diy/ had a say in it because they are above ground

>>1075927
Pure gimmick, the only way to market a shopping centre that has 2m width units is to say "it is from containers!!!!11" because without this gimmick it will look like a fucking row of shitty garages

tldr literal gimmick

weekly maintainance tier: citric acid in warm water poured over drain and let it sit for a few hours

literally clogged tier: mix caustic soda into water, mix it until it fully dissolves, pour over drain, let it sit over night, done

completely fucked tier: use a snake

>>1075902
It's just a bit clogged. Was hoping to do this without spending money

>>1075903
pop the grid off of there and use your fingers if the shit is high enough, if its too deep then use something thats flexable but can grab onto the hairs when you pull it out

seems kinda silly to be trying to heat the outdoors, in a let's-destroy-the-planet-so-i-can-drink-beer-outside kind of way.

>>1075845
Ya but pretty awesome when you do it.

It's also so my wife can sit out in nature even in the winter. She gets bundled all up and 0C is still to cold without active heating.

These ice makers activate a 24v'ish relay connected to the cold water line. You'll need to tee into that.

I just want an ice maker that poops out 1.5" cubes or something that size. All these ice makers make small volume ice either to satisfy 'eco' water usage labels or because the motor to dislodge them are weak/cheaper.

I've been on the lookout for a small top opened freezer for cheap - haven't come up with anything yet.

>>1075720
Bruh. Lowes got new for like 69 bucks if u can find one beat up. They light as shit to cary even. Ice fucks up my teath so ill probably get one of the meme softice shits but i want free ish cooler ice too. Thanks. I guess i forgot i have one at work too with no runing water. Its about to take a shit so i can poke it with a multimeter and then flip it around and trace wires. I imagine most brands are standard color code. I just dont wanna die or burn my house down. My buddy spent all year in and out of er. Got hold of 440 for like 2 minutes. Maybe i will find an electrician before i do this shit or leave it outside.

Are you trying to produce ice commercially? Do you own a restaurant?

If so, and if I'm gathering this correctly, you're trying to produce ice with a bunch of fucking home icemakers to compare with a commercial ice machine.

Problem 1. A home ice maker doesn't get cold on its own. Putting it in a freezer would work, but still take a long time. A commercial ice machine gets colder than a freezer and is freezing layers of ice at a time to make a whole cube, 5-10 pounds worth, in sheet formation, in about 10-15 minutes.

Problem 2. Ice storage. I've always thought it was ridiculous that commercial machines drop ice into an insulated bin. Drop it into a home freezer, the freezer would barely run, and it would keep your shit frozen, thus less power used by the icemaker.

Problem 3. Money. You're looking at spending money on a slow method of making ice, when you could buy a NEW cheap commercial unit and bin or freezer, and make more ice, AND not have the health department bitching. Ice machines form a pink mold that resists cold, and must be cleaned. If your custom ice maker is not accessible for inspection, expect trouble.

I am a commercial food equipment technician, ask me anything you wish about commercial ice machines. Also, your idea isn't a bad one, but health department doesn't like DIY stuff. If I've totally missed the point, and you're talking strictly home use, disregard.
