maybe look at an amazon button

>>1046196
How do you figure? I dont think i can get it all the way here. amazon wont deliver to me.

>>1046198
they sell buttons for people to program themselves

https://www.amazon.com/AWS-IoT-Button-Limited-Programmable/dp/B01C7WE5WM

I believe it can be used to send an automated text when pressed

Alternate angle I really really want to make a Japanese garden but have no idea where to even begin?

You can put a natural rock landscape up there with a waterfall into a Koi pond, with some leafy plants or Asian depending on what you can grow in your area. You would need a decent pump to bring the water up to the top of the pond I think but I'm not an expert.


Another option is just pave a row or something with steps to it so you can put plants up there.

at least some species of grass to keep it from erroding

Here's some more pictures of the wood

>>1046082
Here's the basic process.

1. Prep surface. Usually this means sanding, but other methods exist.
2. Apply stain or dye. Optional, but common.
3. Apply finish.
4. Smooth finish if desired.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 until final desired result achieved.

That makes it sound simple but it's not. Wood finishing is about patience. Take shortcuts, and it will look like trash.

Go to google, come back with specific questions. There are many, many guides out there about this.

>>1046082
It's called rubbing it out. It's mostly about spending a lot of time getting your finish down well, letting it dry well between coats, sanding a bit but not too much, etc. The actual rubbing out is pretty easy, but the steps before aren't necessarily so depending on what you're doing exactly. It should work on any wood that isn't falling apart or about to fall apart like bad HD "lumber" where a hammer will split it in two when nailing. You should pick a nice piece(s) of wood to practice on but it won't hurt to try it out on any wood you want. You can learn a lot from it. Try different finishes. Maybe you want to wait a few days between coats to get that extra polish on some pieces. This isn't something that you should expect to do well on the first shot.

just fucking drink and smoke you idiot

>>1046003

I do but creating a cologne out of them sounded fun.

>>1046003
or buy a car owned by a smoker

>>1045873
Why not use something like high heat silicone bake-ware? I think a good portion of it is rated for up to 500F degrees and a single item would provide enough material to test a variety of shapes. Also it is food safe.

solder it

Right now, I'm trying to flange a ring of the piping and see how that will work...

>>1045885
Yeah, that was the first thing a friend recommended, but those crack under stress very easily.

>>1045889
I need to be able to open it. Otherwise, I'd be done since I have all the stuff to sweat pipe.

>>1045764
Why would you go into coma?

>>1045764
911 on a dead man's switch?

Srsly though, why would you need this, and why not get someone to check on you?

And this is with the bench set up.

looks good anon..does your bench just lean on those 2x4s? is it stable? could you fuck a fat bitch on it?

Preddy gud m9 I have that same tackle box. Thanks for sharing

Water bottles for rich hippies? Laser etch a tree or something on it and use some buzzwords, maybe some fear mongering.

If you're gonna try manufacture stuff you will need to be doing runs of a thousand to make any money.
Some chink in a factory will work 20 hours a day in some factory doing the same spot weld over and over for a cup of rice a day.

Have a go making "chimneys" for lighting BBQ coals. Be prepared to spend up to a full day finishing just one and sell it for $20.

If you want to make money then do repair work, stainless hand rails or exhaust systems

Make stuff the mass-manufacturers in some shitsville 3rd world don't touch- something artistic
Little stuff like candlesticks, lightshades, pot plants and even a really nice kitchen knife holder etc

Have a look at what's popular and throw a spin on it. Styles like Art Deco always look shit hot in stainless and brass

The biggest hurdle for any budding entrepreneur is finding a niche that's not over saturated.

If you git gud at welding you could always offer your services for repairs to cracked metal items.

What's also big in the car world is turbo exhaust manifolds.
If you're not into design you could for a light fee offer to weld up peoples designs, they send you the information needed, pipe size and wall thickness, or maybe even a CAD file of the design.

Though saying that TIG welding is all the rage for that.

>>1045676

Adding to this, as an explanation.
People often design a manifold but they don't have the skill or equipment to make what they have in mind, if you offer the metal needed at cost and a fair price, I think you'll make some nice pocket money.
This because a good manifold not made in China will often run over 1500 dollars, a steep price especially if the customer is just getting into car tuning.

You kill 2 birds with one stone, you make some pocket money and you get mad practice.

I'd suggest you look around the Toyota supra forums and BMW tuning forums, for BMW e46fanatics comes to mind.

This is one of a good idea, just one thing that bothers me is that part is made of stainless steel i suppose? I still can't weld stainless, at least never tried it but I guess some hours of practice and it's doable. Thank you for this advice I will surely explore this topic.

Stick it in your ass

>>1045636
op...

up the pooper it goes

>>1045628
You may need to replace the wick

>>1045629
But most of them are pretty much brand new...

>>1045640
Not him, but the man gave you good advice. Replace or trim.

Take it or leave it as you see fit.

soak the carbs in carb cleaner

after every season drain the fuel and pump out whatever the primer shoots out

you may have to replace the diaphragms

>>1045530
Cool, thanks. Shouldn't be too hard. Do I need to do that on all the equipment that has sat for a while?

First drain the gas out of them
Stick some fresh gas in them and see if they will get going.
Most likely they will start running really shity at first but as the fresh gas works through them they will run fine.

If the fresh gas fails to get it going then worry about taking it apart and cleaning.

>>1045439
$1,300? You can get used gun safes for that amount of money. I'd look into that first.

>>1045439
Truck toolboxes are easily opened with a screwdriver.
You need to install a much better lock and latch system.

The smash and grab burglars just pop them open in seconds.

It is not unheard of for people to actually steal the whole box.
And if someone found out you had guns in there, they would be grinding your shit and running off with the whole box.

Its a poor idea. you would be much MUCH better off hiding your guns in your apartment.

>>1045439
>Ceramic plates?
Brittle. Less resistant to the "smash" part than a store-bought box unless you have a way to get ballistic ceramics.
>thin hardened steel?
Why thin? Why hardened?
>Chain mail? lots of chains?
Useless. Bolt cutters.

From your thoughts of reinforcement, it's not very clear to me what kind of intrusion you expect the box to withstand. A typical truck tool box is welded steel or aluminum already more tamper-resistant than what you mentioned, with the weak points being the attachment to the truck and the mechanism to secure the lid. Use hidden fasteners, and get a box with multiple latch points that can't be pried open. That will resist bolt cutters / pry bars, and you won't be stopping someone with power tools without a lot more.

If you want to actually stop a reasonably-determined thief, though, maybe something like this: double-layered stainless steel with an inch of concrete between layers, with all hinge and locking mechanisms inside beyond the reach of an angle grinder. Though at that point, it would probably be easier to just steal the truck.

>OvRcharge

not gonna ask how much does it cost...

>>1045396

It runs around $200, thats why I was thinking of maybe a DIY option.

>>1045426
>$200 wow!

You can buy magnetic levitation plates for a as little as £50 here in the uk.
