Go drive to a timber yard and buy in bulk. If that's still too much, I heard one little pig built his house out of straw and it held up for a while at least.

There is actually lots of cheap materials that you can use, and here are some pictures as an example.

>Ya mang...that'll work real good...

Not. What are you trying to do? Keep the screw inset in the insert? If it is, why don't you simply countersink the screw?

No hammers required...

Why can't you just drill a hole?

You can buy a countersink that you just stick in the hole and hit with a hammer.
There's also multi-piece setups.

Resistance normally comes in two forms for a rotating object, rolling friction which normally is very low no matter what the surfaces are, or additional weight

Find a way to add mass to your rotating unit and you'll get much more resistance

Additionally if you don't mind a destructive resistance you could install some bike brake calipers to the wheel and use that instead

>>1071857
Add a motor/generator/alternator to it that will generate electricity while you cycle. All you need to do then is to increase the electrical resistance to increase the pedaling resistance. It is extremely effective. Electrical resistance can be lighting up light bulbs, charging batteries ar trying to run something like a toaster or hairdryer, etc.

Speed = volts
Torque = amps
Speed + Torque = watts

If you want to pedal faster, make it so you can produce a higher voltage. If you want to pedal harder make it so you produce more amps. If you want to do both make it so the watts are higher. You can make it really easy to pedal or virtually impossible to pedal depending on the size of generator you install and what amount of electrical resistance you apply.

>I asked on /fit/, it was a wrong decision

full kek

>>1071861
Good idea

Op, go get a $10 angle grinder from harbor freight and a drive belt. Put an incandescent bulb between the power cord pins, then put the switch set to on permanently

It'll work great

>>1071816
I'm not sure what you're looking for.
I think you want some type of all-in-one package (maybe for camping?) that you could like plug into a generator and have everything (light, microwave, phone charger etc) in one portable unit (?)

you're asking for stickers?

>>1071816
99 cent stickers at the 10 billion dollar store.

hand write data for your appliances

e.g.
dildo washing machine
jewish oven
automated anal rimming machine
washer and dryer operated dildo spinning circuit
microwave
google alarm
the jewish motion picture machine

>>1071813
do you know what brand/model the actual lcd is?

you probably have to know some high speed lvds interfacing shit

Put it back where you found it, probe it with a logic analyzer and hope for the best.

>longitudinally
wat?

try and find a used one, I scored a 4" one for $10

>>1071794
You mean height, like cutting distance between the table and the end of the exposed blade? Generally manuals will refer to that as capacity or something similar.

Are you trying to resaw planks? The bandsaw size is not what youre looking at. Like the cheap 9" bandsaw that a lot of companies offer may not allow for anything wider than a 2x4(3 1/2") to be resawn.

Or do you mean that you need a table needs to be wide enough to accomodate 15"?

Either way, start looking at 18" band saws. You might have to add a couple extra hundred bones depending on what your used market looks like locally. If you find that 18" is larger than you need, look at 14"

>>1071844
I forgot to add, if you need more capacity you can find riser blocks for most band saws

>>1071535
Hook up one of those cheap "piezo bender" sensors to an op amp buffer and then a gain stage. Fix the sensor to whatever you want to measure the vibrations from. Also be sure to ESD the shit out of the input stages, those sensors can output kV if hit too hard

>>1071535
What is polymer.
not shill, but like these newboldtargets.com
Lots of shooting stores carry similar things.

>>1071464
Depending on how big the gap is, you can use some filler goop (if it's not whole wood) or some kind of masking plank (unsure of english word).

Or do you mean that the walls are straight but not 90 degrees on the corner? Do you have the tools for long cuts? (guide rail etc)

>>1071464

When I install counters, I do what you see in the pic, then use a small electric hand plane or jig saw to cut down close to my scribe line, then I use a belt sander to clean it up...

what about your backspash

Search Dave Wirth bed. I built his shelving. One seems a little bowed because the wood I used wasn't perfect, but I'm sure cross beams would have helped. My son and I laid on the shelves after construction to see how sturdy they were.

>seems legit.jpg

>>1071329
Use measurements that match the mattress you want to use.

>>1071329
Ikea beds are made out of the shittiest wood you could imagine, so I'd say yes. The only thing not wood is the middle support beam on twin and up mattresses. If you look up what Ikea uses to support mattresses, you could copy the linked beam thing they make to keep it from sagging. I did, and I didn't use enough beams, so it hurt like a motherfucker to sleep on.

>motor overclocking

it is easy, just increase the voltage, and put a heatsink on it

>>1071325
I'll look that up, thanks

This may be stupid to ask, but how do you increase the voltage?

>What's the process of staining so this board would be a darker color?

1.) Get stain.
2.) Wipe on stain.
3.) Wipe off stain.
4.) Wipe drool off chin.

> Also, do you think a natural look or completely painted over would look better?

It's a close up of a fucking board with some holes in it you goddamn mong. Without knowing what retarded project you're planning on building with it we can't comment on the fucking aesthetics.

>>1071076
I think he's making a twinkboard, you know one of those things with wheels that skinny white kids use for anal sex.

>>1071079
Actually a cruiser, but same concept.

What the dick above me said. Just a skateboard.
I'm not too keen on wood, it kinda looks like flamed maple, how does the grain flow?

That's not a previous fix, it's plaster and lath.

the paint below is tearing though

I imagine that'll have to be removed
would make the hole a bit bigger but there's some a sturdy bit of wood right behind it

>>1071019
Buy a 2x2 piece of drywall from a home improvement store and cut out the hole and replace it. It'll take 5 minutes and $3

>>1070914
I've often considered gluing a small bubble level to the back of my drill. Never actually do it, though.

Do non-Americans measure their drill bits by length instead of diameter? Because you better have a gargantuan drill for a 1200mm bit.

>>1070929
masonry drills are measured length first then diameter.

it don't work that way

stop coming to 4chin with your fantasy threads with no specific detail whatsoever

>>1070897
Sorry

>no location
Montana, Wyoming, or Colorado. Haven't decided yet.

>no skills
I'm a truck driver and learned how to work on diesel engines from reading service manuals. I know some home reno stuff from working for my Uncle's company doing dry wall, painting, kitchen.bath renos, etc. I'm not licensed to do any plumbing or electric work though, and have never build a house from the frame up, unless building a small shed kit from Lowe's counts as experience

>log cabin kit with no log cabin
The kit is the log cabin. I just need to build a foundation to set it on, then get the doors, windows, plumbing, electric, etc.

Handmade, hand notched, hand peeled, completely Pre-assembled log package
Log Homes Council (LHC) Grade Stamped logs (every log in every home)
Log exterior walls
Log interior bearing wall where shown on plan
Log loft joists
Log exterior walls upstairs
Log gable ends to peaks
Log interior trusses to carry roof where required
Log roof purlins with 4’ standard overhangs- 3’to 4' on cabins
Log balconies where shown
Log porch kit, log posts and header where shown
Log dormers where shown
Log handmade stairway, one- pc. or 2 pc, depending on design shown.
Log sunbursts where shown
Log posts and settling jacks where required
Cutout slots for loft flooring
5/8"x10" Steel rebar pins
Window/ door tops and bottoms cut precise, sides cut rough

>off grid
How is off grid fantasy land? Do you know understand that solar panels are an affordable option these days? Or that wells can be dug?

>>1070904
>Do you know understand that solar panels are an affordable option these days?
Sure. They are great. When used with a grid tie system they are quite affordable. Without grid tie, you need a battery bank of several dozen deep cycle lead-acid or nickel-iron batteries to keep you going when the sun isn't shining. Also a charge controller. Lead is 'cheap' and iron is expensive but lead wears out in 10 years or so. So you either pay an arm for lead batteries now and another arm every 10 years or so or you pay an arm and a leg now for nickel-iron and hope its someone else's problem by the time they give out.

Now, I don't know much about log cabin kits but I expect it to be a bigass fucking house if its $60k just for the walls and shit, unfinished. So you are going to need a ton a power to run it. So you can either drop several grand on a power inverter, on top of the panels, the batteries, and the charge controller and use standard electical or you can run your system on 24v DC, skip the inverter and spend a ton of money on special appliances and such that run on DC. The latter is more efficiency though and efficiency is king when it comes to off-grid systems.

TL;DR
Depending on your power needs and option choices, without those nice blue state rebates and tax credits, it could cost more than your log cabin kit on day one. It also requires maintenance and, depending on your choices, they could be substantial.

Danke friend. Also what would be a good budget vice. I saw a 20 dollar one at sears but i dont know how good it would be.

>>1070612
vise are expensive and a investment for live dont get a cheap chink, one lock for a good deal or used one
