Check the oops pile in your home improvement store for any outdoor based paints. Try for oil based. You only need a gallon and should be fairly cheap. You just wont get ur choice in color. If its light enough you can have them add a darker dye tho. I sometimes just ask for them to make it black or a dark brown.

You can also get deck stain from the oops pile too. That will work great too. Again no choice in color really ...

Ok

Any other anons built a shavehorse here? The variations on design were bewildering at first, but this one I made is pretty much the most popular type. But instead of having a chunk of wood to adjust the bench I use a dowel and a 2x4 for better adjustability. I haven't seen one like it any pictures I've seen of them. Maybe I invented it lol

Bumping. Pretty sure the leather my jacket is made of is full grain leather, if that helps narrow the treatment process down any. It's some pretty stiff stuff, a centimeter or so thick. It once had a stool broken over it and I got shoved up against a concrete pillar. Didn't feel a fuckin thing. It's the best shit ever for punk shows.

If youve got sewing experince.. Great. But if not. I wouldn't... Id get sewing experince first. Also a sewing machine that has some balls for leather working cause fuck doing a whole jacket by hand...

If you want it to be an effective motorcycle jacket, and be even more comfy then shitty course grain cow leather.. You want to start saving up for kangaroo leather... Shits the best you can get! Stronger then cow, half as thick, for better strength and more breathable...

Now if you just want a leather jacket. Goat skin is super good because its super thin and pliable. And takes dyes and stains well.

I have some sewing experience, yes, but not a hell of a lot. I was actually planning on making embellishments out of cast aluminum for it. I have more or less of a design in mind, but I'm mostly just concerned with it being durable as fuck. It isn't really going to be meant for motorcycling, since I can use my existing jacket for that. I also don't have an issue with the leather being a bit on the rough side since that's what I'm both used to and prefer. The jacket itself is apparently quite heavy but I've gotten so used to it that I don't notice. It's likely that the design I'm planning will end up being more of a leather vest than a jacket.

Make a pineapple mold for the pattern, put some plaster inside the mold, and use a concave object to reproduce the hole.

>>1054906
I forget to say, use silicon for the mold.

ya, thats what i figured to. Im going to put it upside down so the open end down, use some clay/hot glue around where the opening touches the bottom.

Any recommendation on what to use as the material for the mold? Can i use rubber to recast? i am also worried about all the contours and undercuts ect in the fruit. i dont know much about using rubber to cast molds either.

Here is my little pride and joy this morning.

With the money needed to buy the basic equipment, which you would use to diy the tools you'd need to make these, you could buy several thousand of them. That is before including the worth of your labor.

They're like 10 bucks man.
Are these things breaking on you?
How the hell are you posting from the afterlife?

>>1054902
Are they machined or stamped?
I'm thinking about making a few of them out of rebar.

>>1054908
I'm anon's ghost.

>>1054762
it's the high pressure line, and that is a crimped fitting on a hydraulic hose.

Tape will not stop it from leaking., either replace the whole hose, or get a hydraulic hose shop to recrimp it.

>>1054764
it will cost more to recrimp it than to just replace it

>>1054767
I know, I was giving anon his options is all.

Assuming it's not a glass surface: You could try scraping most of it off gently with a fresh sharp razorblade, then applying minimum amounts of heat at a time to dissolve the cyanoacrylate. Might (read:should) protect the surrounding area with things like tape and cardboard (or something equal) before you start applying heat.

If it's an older monitor with a matte screen, use this as an excuse to buy a new one

>>1054482
Most superglues are solvent and melts and bonds with the plastic in contact, so unless it is a specifically solvent free glue, your screen is kill. At least you won't remove it without taking a bit of its skin off.

Superglue remover is what you want mate. 3 bucks on amazon.

But be careful if your screen is plastic as I think it's a solvent.

>>1054486
You're thinking of something else

>>1054463
it looks like a simple high voltage dump capacitor in the form of a USB stick

So yes, it would kill anything with a USB port

Y THO?

>>1054466
The damage might be limited to the USB port alone, though.
>Y THO?
Because faggotry.

>>1054466
How do I protect my computer from stuff like that?

>>1054402
Well done Jimmy, that looks amazing! Have you showed it to your friends?

>>1054407
Why thanks friend it means a lot, and yes I have shown it to some friends,

Gotta start somewhere I guess

>>1054209
Too much unless you have an in with someone, I'd say on the low end it would be $45-65

>>1054209
>tfw this isn't allows for meter boxes where I live and I have to buy and hammer into the ground SIX 8-feet long copper-jacketed steel rods and wire them up using 4AWG.

I had to angle them kinda sharply because the ground is uber compacted clay and nothing wants to go further than 4 feet down.

>>1054209
Are they yanking your chain? That is petty stuff to be worrying about when buying a house. If it was a foundation problem then yeah I'd ask the owner about getting it fixed professionally before buying it. But, grounding wires to the box? Ha!

bump for baby car

All those little hot wheel cars use expensive plastic gears that break easily. They have a high center of gravity and plastic wheels. You can make them faster. But it is a pretty shitty platform. Try the razor electric go carts.since they have Better wheels, most are chain driven so you can actually transfer the the power to speed. The frames are also metal and they don't break with me on it at about 170 pounds. Much better platform and can be picked up on Craigslist cheap when they neglect the batteries. Which you can replace pretty cheaply online.

^ This.

Having had a Razor 4-wheeler, it was able to zip my 250 lb ass across a large apartment complex to the convenience store across the street pretty quickly and regularly. The drive wheel tire wore out a lot but seriously you can't pull the speed and terrain off with a Powerwheels that you can in a Razor, especially if you weigh more than like 100 lbs.

Hot melt glue
or
soldering iron in corner to melt and 'weld' it together

I've used hot glue (High temperature stuff, low temp stuff just cracks off) with a lot of success (was using an old VHS cassette case to make an arduino case), I needed a lot of force to take it apart again later.

use rubber bands instead?

Blu-tack.

I did that in 2010 or so and my alfoil is still there.

>>1053980
You can remove it right?

>>1053976
You could white out your windows with windowlene. Benefits of that is that will clean it when you remove it.

As to black out just add some curtain liner to your curtains, by sewing, pinning, gluing or tape (depending on your skill level).
If you haven't got any curtains then put some up.

Is that a FAMAS?

what are you trying to do with the knot? what are you attaching it to? I worked on a sailboat so I know a thing or two about knots

>>1054154
I'm pretty well versed in knots, but I was looking for someone to throw some ideas back and forth with for an idea I have.

>>1053711
I'm an Eagle Scout and teach the pioneering merit badge. I uh know knots.

>>1053641
shit you would be better off tearing down the house and starting new

>>1053648
So, not worth it? Buy the land and put a modular on it?

If the roof has been leaking that badly and that long, the whole fucking house is rotting now. Adding to that fact, virtually nothing about the house is modern or usable. You're looking at 0.37 acres with a garage, a barn, and a building that needs to be torn down. Price it as such and you won't get a bad deal.
