Easier to make dildos using urethane tbqh

>>1028571
Why would anyone make a dildo nowadays? That market already offers any kind of genital from various creatures.

>>1028569
Does it need to be one piece?
You can't really just go out to a manufacturer asking for a single item.
If it isn't too detailed or strong, you could vacuform it.
Other than that, the only thing that comes to mind is lost wax/PLA casting. Or, if you have the plans you could ask for the cost of having it milled in some cheap aluminum, machineable plycarbonate, or acetal.

Hey, at least he did it on a panel that was already damaged

I suggest you visit real gun forums, not /k/ which isn't anything at all. 4chan forums are just ways to find real resources and should NEVER be a first resort. They are only a substitute for Google.

Practical Machinist is an outstanding website. Gunsmithing is nothing more than specialty machining and fabrication, so many machinists work on firearms. Naturally a machinist does far more machining than a gunsmith, and brazing and soldering and welding are skills nearly all machinists possess because we need them.

Try "silver soldering gunsmithing site:www.practicalmachinist.com" and similar search strings.

There are many posts, this may help:

http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/gunsmithing/silver-soldering-what-am-i-doing-wrong-126721/

I suggest you duplicate the job you want to do as closely as practical on some prepared practice parts with similar clearances to your weapon. Because solder may be melted off, the part prepped again, and the job repeated, you can try multiple times until you are certain of success. Solder melts at much lower temps than would affect steel which is why gunsmiths use it.

Have fun! Hard soldering is a useful skill.

nice resource, thanks!

Get a fucking muzzle brake, you're guranteed to fuck up the barrel. You're talking about brazing, not soldering and brazing temps will soften steel and likely warp the barrel.

Random thoughts....

,,,There is already Android apps that can record both sides of calls, on most phones. Apparently some carriers block this ability. I don't know more than that about the subject really....

,,,But that means that you can write your own app to record calls, and then do something with that recording. Like, send the file to a web address (if your phone has internet) or send it to an address on a particular wifi or bluetooth hotspot at home (to automatically send it directly to your home PC)....

,,,Android Studio is the name of the program you use to write Android apps on. It is a free download from Google. If you have an iPhone then I dunno, I don't know shit about Apple stuff. But I'd bet iPhones can do call recording too, and it is my understanding that you can write your own iPhone apps and install them to devices directly (that you can physically access). Unsigned apps just won't install over the internet.

,,,I don't know what you mean when you say that you want the call "processed"? Do you mean you want it translated to text? Or something else?........ I can (kinda) program PC and android apps but I dunno how to do low-level voice-to-text. I guess there might be a open library for it somewhere tho.

does the blacksmith have time to repoint my chisels?

It depends on who you are and if you are up for it.

I work in building maintenance and run a landscaping business on the side (primarily hard and softscape implementation.) and while I love it as my job I hate doing that shit in my free time. My property is a wreck but my work is top notch.

Da fuck? Why do they have the finished treads and risers exposed at that stage of construction? Apparently in OP's pic's world drywallers or plasterers don't creampie the whole house

>>1027938
You CAN build a house for about 1/3 the price you'd pay for one. That's how contractors make money anon: they do the hard work that they know how to do and most others don't, then charge for their time doing it. The trick is to figure out how to do those things yourself, then have local and state authorities recognize that you're competent at them.

What's the best way to clear coat a finished paint job? I've used Rustoleum product sprays, but I want to protect it from fairly heavy use.
I think I'm going to need multiple coats, more than what I imagine their (triple thick) clear coat would give me.
Something clear, protective, and high-shineable. What do?

I'm spray painting a helmet using Rustoleum primer and paint (flat white). I've got waterslide decals I want to apply as well (which will be sealed with krylon acrylic spray before wetting).
Now I want to be able to have this helmet be usable and take a beating, and not yellow over time either. What would be the best course of action?
I know something about applying x, then doing something with a rubbing compound, and then finishing it up with a car polish like Meguires. But I don't know what to use for x to get the end result.

There's a Rustoleum glazing spray with a pic of a glazed pottery piece on the label. Anyone have experience with that?
I definitely want to give this thing a nice gloss coat which sounds probably need sanding and polishing. If that were the case, I might need more than one can. I just don't know what's best over Rustoleum.
Google has turned into a shitpool of who spent the most money to be the top spot on the page.
Do enthusiast/hobby forums even exist anymore? Everything is from like 2009.

You need some manner of switching mode boost converter to raise the solar panel's output voltage to the appropriate charging voltage (which will be provided by the manufacturer).

You will also need to limit the current going to the battery so that you do not overcharge/damage the battery.

I don't know how much of this will be handled by the battery itself because you did not link any information on the battery itself.

how do i make my own solar panels? like the panels themselves?

>>1029229
you don't
There's a good reason they make them in factories that have a floor area in multiple football fields, even in China.

>>1027858
It is so new and scratch less with still that thin plastic film on it. I can't do that.

>>1027857
Smash them up.
They aren't scratched they will be after you use them
Smashy smashy!

you mean 3d printing companies?

3d printing will be the cheapest way unless you are making 10000000s of them

>>1027840
Yeah, you could do that but you'd lose profit. Get some molds printed instead and do it the old fashioned way.

hand sculpt it or wait for that new in color 3d printing process by HP to come out.

You could try using an objet color 3d printer which has awesome print quality. Compared to Z-corp machines at least. It's fucking expensive though.

I'd say at the very least try out MCOR's color 3d printing(pic related) and post process your prints by dipping them in cyanoacrylate. It's cheap.(compared to other 3d printing processes or hiring a professional sculptor)

You could cut them into thin strips, braid the strips together, and tie the resulting rope into a noose
