that looks like shit tho
what am i missing?

This must be a troll. Nobody is this dumb.

>Looks like plaster and lath, okay. Wait, why is the floor... Oh, the fuckwit didn't rotate the image.

Tin, tin and more tin. Go to local 2nd hand stores and scrounge up all the pewter you can find. Get an old pan and melt everything down, form a little dam around the area you want to work with with clay then pour the molten tin to fill the void(s). No it wont burn the wood, use sharp tools to cut flush then sand and finish.

Did this with a lathe turned box that had some checks and it came out great. Same process should work in your application just make sure you have enough material.

visit rotomeatals for material

That's a really fantastic idea. I'll post results in a week or so

why not just trim it flush?
or at least trim the outer edge and use another like-colored wood to make a filler piece?

>>1066962
duct tape

>>1066978
How? also that might cause issues with air pressure, this is gonna have around 800 psi inside of it

to clarify, you want the nail suspended inside along the axis of the pipe, or radially pointing to the center?

telling us the intended use might help

The machine is the smal black box at the left side of the pics.

Probably works a hell of a lot better than the heat guns Sprint gave me.

What kind of profit are you making LCD repairs? Replacement parts kept soaring in price right as I left the industry two years ago.

Hmmmm.. Kinda small to get as many customer as poosible and spread that i makeing them really cheap. Its like i replace the glass of an iphone 15$.
I will higher the prices but its okay atm.

i6 lcd from ali is about 25$ atm

open windows in affected room. open window in opposite end of space. get free breeze

Don't know how good this'll work.

>>1066984
If I want a breeze, I'll turn on a fan. The problem is that the air itself is 90+degrees

>>1066559
I guess you could take it apart and diagnose it like a normal person would. Put a battery in and trace potentials.

Look at the advert, m80. It's been used for too long. Max recording time is 2043 hours.

How old is it?
Look up tin whiskers, they grow from lead free solder and will short circuit electronics. If you have a microscope look at the sodder, you should see tiny hairs sticking out from the sodder. Fix it by scrubbing the circutboard with a toothbrush. Just make sure you don't tear off any of the circuts. After 4 years all electronics are guaranteed to have these nano whiskers growing in them, but the whiskers will start growing the second the circut is powered on

Are you sure the compressor doesn't need 3 phase input?

>>1066255
The reason the contact melted was the compressor motor was failing, most likely a high resistance short in a winding.

The higher amperage breaker allowed the motor to pull enough amps to completely burn up and have a winding go open.

I would recommend you test the motor and replace it if needed, also, reinstall a 30 amp breaker unless the wires run to are capable of handling a 50 amp load.

>>1066330
it had been running for 8 or 10 years as was so I assume it was the right setup
>>1066363
took one to the capacitors out of the top, took it to the local plumbing and electric store they tested it and said it was bad going to try replacing it later and see what happens... also inside the outlet the white wires coating and been hot at one point it appears

>>1065825
worse case you blow your stereo.
i'd recommend you use headphones on low volume.

>>1065825
If active means it has an in built preamp then it should work. The problem will be if your stereo has small speakers and a poor bass response. If you push small speakers hard on bass you may fuck them.

wood product in a wet bathroom. no.fucking.way.

>>1065318

My bathroom is trimmed out with maple. Did it about 12 years ago. As long as it's sealed correctly and it's dry it won't be an issue.

>>1065314
Do some research on wood grain and expansion. There's a reason end grain isn't used as a flooring surface.

>There's a reason end grain isn't used as a flooring surface.
There is commercial end grain flooring around.

i wouldn't use end grain pin Op.

3 miles down I80, across the street from the mothafucker, next to the shit. if you see a rock youve gone too far

>>1065120
I would even be interested in manufacturing assuming it was profitable and could be done buy a one man shop

I'd recommend getting in some Facebook groups and seeing what the locals want, especially if you're in a smaller town.

I make shitty dining room tables for about 80 bucks and sell them for 600+ without the chairs. Matching chairs for an extra 75 a piece.

I also buy diesel trucks in another state and bring them over for a huge profit because they're pretty much unavailable here.

It all depends on what the market is like where you are.

im in a rural southern state town aprox 10,000 people, its a poor community most people are living below the poverty line with the ones actually working at the biggest employer in town bring home around $22k before taxes... so im going to need to provide something very affordable OR something that is absolutely necessary...open to suggestions

12V
11A per pin

Wiki has more stats if you search "molex"

>>1065117
They will happily take more than 10A per cable, which should be more than enough for any realistic scenario you want to use them for. If it's in you PC what you need to worry about is if your PSU can actually deliver enough power (on the specific rail) without shutting down, dropping voltage or going up in smoke.

Rule of thumb is that if you need adapters to power high loads (like graphics cards) with your PC PSU it will probably be not strong enough and in the worst case not safe (as in it will kill your hardware). Before afro engineering it in a situation like that with adapters make sure your PSU can handle it.

>>1065117
In theory 11a, but I wouldn't trust it past 5a, it just takes a little bit of resistance in the connector to melt it

What's wrong with a brass eyelet rivet?

Congratulations, you have now riveted something together.

I bought aluminum rivets to replace the transom in my aluminum boat.
Aluminum rivets in various sizes are readily available.

I asked about this a couple of days ago on last thread, and now that I am doing it I am confused no how to solve this one.

Using nodal analysis, I am unsure if I wrote the correct equations since the position of Voltage V2 in the middle kind of confuses me. I dont know if its affect all of the resistors in that part (R4, R5, R6) or if I should just consider it for R4, R5 and R3.

>>1061777

This is also another one I wanted to ask on.

I know that theres a supernode up there, but I am unsure as how to consider that current there which is parallel to the voltage source. Is it going out of the supernode?

My intuition tells me that it goes out but then it goes... back into it? But I maybe talking out of my ass.

I did those equations but, then again, would like some insight.

>>1061777
Almost. The last term for V1 should have V1-V3 not V1+V3, and the second term for V2 should have V2-V1 not V2-V4.

The equation for the current at a node (by KCL) will only refer to the impedances of the edges incident to that node (i.e. R3,R4,R5 for V2).

Thus, the values of R1,R2,R6 will only affect V2 via their effects upon V1,V3. I.e. the KCL equation for V2 won't refer to R1,R2,R6, but solving the system of equations will give a value for V2 in terms of E1,I1 and all 6 resistances.
