use a plastic one

or coat it with pickup truck bed liner spray

>>1032401

Yea we use the tin can over plastic because its more sturdy, and its so easy to find a can to use.

Its harder to find a small container of plastic made of thick strong walls.

But I just remembered I have a can of Plasti-dip spray on paint. Its not as good as the bedliner stuff but it might work in the same way.

I got a new can and sprayed a coat of the Plasti-dip on it.

You have to wait about 30 mins between coatings and I wanna give it at least 3 or 4 sprays.

I just weeded my garden and the tomato plants are over 7 feet tall.

Usually I do organics and my plants have never been bigger then 4 to 4 1/2 feet. But this year in the same grow area they are doing much better because I have used the Mittleider method.

You'll need a coupling, a tin of start ya basted and fuel. Just get a cheap carbonated engine or if money is no issue a diesel from a small tractor/boat.

As for the generator, nope. You need a wired armature for that, induction motors just have a big lump of steel.

If you get a carburettor engine or a mechanical pump diesel its very feasible. You are going to need some pressure activated clutch also. You will need a governor control unit too.

I've seen plenty of automotive engines used for irrigation pumps but those are pretty much constant load so require no governor.

Highly reccoment old vw motor. Like 60s and 70s. Air cooled. Need coil and starter wires. Thats it. +/- 40hp

Im about to mount one on a riding mower with 35's. Super fucking simple little shits.

Here's a Toro mower that would be ideal for my situation, but alas, my Husky is too new to consider replacing at this point in time. The lower "arms" don't fold down so even mounted on a wall it would never be this compact.

Don't store it like that or you will have oil leaking out on the floor.

You would be better off building a small outdoor shed for it.

My mower lives outside.

I hacked and welded a triple square to n old breaker bar.
It worked, as the original socket was too long for use.

I constantly make tools for shit at work, cars nowadays all need specific tools to replace the timing belts.

I went to school for tool and die making, but never wound up working in the field (I'm a machinist).

I still use a few of the tools I made, mostly v blocks, a square block, 1-2-3 blocks, a huge flathead screwdriver, and a simple but effective vise stop.

It wasn't expensive to me personally, but I don't have access to anything as sophisticated as the cnc and manual lathes, vertical mills and grinders I used.

Most importantly, I don't have access to a heat treat facility. Proper heat treating is an art, and I can't possibly recreate what's necessary to get the most out of tool steels.

I think they were used to run a water pump down a well

>>1032019
>a water pump

This. They are typically for pumping water from a bore and sometimes a dam or river.

If you want to talk electricity generating google fieldlines.

>>1031856
That is a pumping windmill so zero electrical power. Prolly about 350 Watt mechanical.

Try sit on a pillow you dumb kid

>>1031761
replace the shocks with softer ones

Drive a couple different vehicles. If the problem persists then obviously the issue is you, and you can start taking steps to get over it.
This would fix the ACTUAL problem.

Sorry, fixed image

>>1030584
Also, if it needed to be said, because there is no NC on the heater relay, im talking about the blower relay, bottom left in fixed image in second post.

I thing u opening the line to much and letting air back in when it dribbles try and just to say open the bleed valve and close it

>>1030162
Thanks, that sounds about right. Ill give it a try.

>>1030163
How long / how much brake fluid should it take? like 30 min or so?

>>1029783
>how to do entire profession plz

Learn to walk before you run, m8. Google some guides on home made costumes or vests, then google some shit about leather working and materials, then come back with specific questions.

>>1029783
Google leather armor patterns. Tons of sites.

layered leather like in your picture seems simple enough to design.

Download a copy of Marvelous Designer and draw your own patterns.

>apartment
It will not. Full stop. You need specific reinforcement for this shit, and its always easier to add shit like this in the joists of a house you own.

Make a steel frame for this that rests on the ground, like a hammock frame.

>>1028216
Why an apartment ceiling wouldn't be able to bear it? If I put the weight on several points, wouldn't it work? I've seen drywall ceiling anchors, isn't it enough?

The whole point is for it not to rest on the ground, I would like to be able to change the height of the bed in order to free some space.

>>1028219
If you live in some rustic timber framed apartment with exposed beams, should be good to go.

Also, if you or your loved ones are about to roll into a bed that you anchored into drywall ceiling, please film it for all of us to enjoy.

>The power it gives you just rushes through you. You can cut literally anything.
Wait until you try an O/A cutting torch.

>>1025254
Unfortunately I don't currently have a reason for using one, and I can't see how I could manufacture a reason either.

Table saw. Because it is the most useful woodworking tool you can get.

I won't post accidents because they are too gruesome for a blue board.

Bought one some time ago, but it requires too much maintenance for someone who doesn't smokes.
A small torch lighter is all I need.

>>1024603
This. Zippos are for smokers.

found an old one with K-XI code which apparently stands for 1995
looks like its age but has a nice motive, two pistons crossed with the text "mossimo piston pounders" above
not sure if the clothing company is meant here

not a smoker so probably just gonna lay around

>>1023737
What are you making?

>>1023749
Small house out in the middle of the woods

>>1023754
Nice, I've always wanted to do something like that. How are you going to insulate it?

>>1010386
scrap wood from old construction sites, craigslist, home depot, build a saw go innawoods and cut down a tree
any of those options works for acquiring wood
colour wise, if you can't find an exact match, stains man

I need a trigger mechanism that will hold a fixed-wing UAV on the launch rail and release it when pressed/pulled. Are there any ready-made triggers that will survive 15kg tension or should I make my own thing?

>>1010386

If you intend to make something as drawn, your question is irrelevant unless you can DIY your own plywood. Which you can't, and are going to need. Otherwise you're going to have a bad time.
