Any measures I can take or drawings that existings to determine which ones they are and what I need?

Fuck off faggot.

Your anon mask in the background reinforces my former comment.

3rd pic.

It came from China, but the actual quality in assembling it looks pretty good, and it fits the knife reasonably well, giving that a higonokami has that spine that sticks out beyond the handles(so really tight form-fitting sheaths wont do)

OP here:
I should also ask if anyone here knows what that rivet hole on the side is for. Just aesthetics and to make it stand out? Adding some cord to wear it around your neck? Or is there some modular standardized system on some belts or harnesses that it can clip into? Figure i should know, if its worth keeping to hand off to my dad. If it has some function, that might be the saving grace...

Unfortunately the cabinetry and millworking industry still uses retardcad for most of their work so if you want to be able to talk to your customers, you'll need to use retardcad as well.

If you don't deal with the scum of the old world and sell to hipsters and faggots then solidworks up that shit.

Fuck autodesk and anyone that shills for them, they have held back the CAD industry by decades with their garbage software.

Use Luan(1/4" plywood) and screen stock. Put it together with glue and finish nails. Itll probably cost ya a tenner and take a couple hours

>>1042715
what's "screen stock"?

Alright, I'm not really a lute, but I do know one. Without years of experience your guitar will sound like shit. Might not even work. Its a frustrating process, and if you are serious about it you should speak to a real luthier near you to see if he will take you as an apprentice. Good luck, friend.

Acoustic guitars are way harder than electrics to make. I would start with a solidbody electric if it's your first guitar.

>>1042462
I imagine building guitar is fairly easy, it's just a box with a hole and a stick. But making it sound like something better than cardboard with wire is whole different story.

Here, have some public domain stuff on violin making, maybe you find some useful tips. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything specifically on guitars.

I've got an old Crescent from Jamestown, NY, and a Ridgid one from Ohio. I notice little difference to a shitty Westward one that I'm sure is Taiwanese.

I'm a welder, though, not a mechanic, so grains of salt.

>When did tools start getting so shitty?

When American labor and unions made goods prohibitively expensive to produce in the US. Since making and shipping a few million pounds of steel elsewhere is cheaper, why would an American company make it here?

Your $9 nut-fucker wrench would be on the order of $30 if it were American made. The average consumer looking at itemA and itemB of seemingly similar quality, why would you pay more?

Taxes and EPA and government regulation is much more lenient in Asian countries, labor is much lower, so production costs are much lower. Its like if your iphone or TV were made in the US, it would cost as much as a used car.

patent lawyer

>>1042133
my non-professional perspective:
1. nobody pays for inventions that aren't proven in the marketplace
2. 99.999% of filed patents never make a dime--it's money thrown into the wind
3. all the countries that follow WIPO rules don't allow a patent (or will invalidate it) if it can be shown that there is prior art (a prior example) that existed, made or patented elsewhere by someone else, before the patent was filed

the short version is this:
A. you make the [whatever] and you start selling it yourself
B. you apply for a patent with the first ~$400 - $1200 you make in profits. in the US you can also get a [much cheaper] provisional patent, that lets you delay paying for a "real" patent for 1 year
C. if a company wants to buy the rights, they'll call you. not the other way around

A typical patent gets bought for well under $5K US
A really great patent might get bought for $20K
It's *really* tough to make a steady income as an inventor. It's much easier if you become a light-manufacturing owner

>>1042169
any advice on where to start on light-manufacturing?

CNC laser?

>>1042017
couldn't you just drill them out with a bit slightly larger?

Good tip, thanks man, any other suggestions?

MDF swells only once, after that it's garbage.
You can try to sand high spots and lay new vinyl, but IMO it's not worth it.

cover it with a plate of aluminium

>>1041986
Once water gets into chipboard or mdf then it's pretty much fucked, you could sand it down a glue a veneer over it but it will not look good unless you really know what you are doing, if you are especially bothered about how it looks then you can try that just to get a few more years out of it, personally I've stopped buying new furniture, I buy old/antique stuff that doesn't loose a ton of value the moment you take it out the store, I just sold a leather armchair for more than paid for it three years ago, try doing that with shitty Ikea furniture.

Made some cracking Green Tomato Chutney a couple of years back. Go for it... It'll be rad!

I also made a load of tomato wine that year.

Mate, there are loads of people on the board with real skills and learned attributes and you post this?

Building your own house is a massive undertaking with a vast arry of things to think about. This model makes it look easy and understated, which it is not.

You model video omits pluming, electric, permits/planning permission, how to divide the space inside, what wood to use the list can go on.

Is this vid bait? Can't work it out.... Fuck you, you Neaplease Slave trading website.
