Yeah I've made one. Take your time, and start by drilling out the hole and threading it onto the shaft to make sure the wood doesn't split.

>>1010028
I'm going to match a nut to the thread on the shaft, then embed that nut into the knob and epoxy it.

I'm changing the shape of it from the factory one aswell to suit my style of driving. It will be thicker so

The left side of the knob is going to have some belly so it will fit in my palm, while the right side will be concave to fit my bottom fingers. (The car is RHD).

My goal is to be able to shift using my wrist and fingers, without lifting my forearm off the armrest.
(pushing forward with my thumb and wrist, and pulling back with the index and middle finger and wist.)

The hole for the shaft will be angled 15-30 so the shifter will end up leaning forward. The reason for this is so that in 2nd and 4th gear the shifter will be pointing straight up instead of being uncomfortably angled backwards.
This will allow my wrist a more relaxed position.

Progress so far. I have no idea what the wood is.
All I know is its reddish orange in color, pretty hard, smells bad when sanded or sawn, and doesn't carve easy.

I'd say keep both, new grinders are usually $40+, as for the vise, I've never seen one go for less than $60 in my area and name brands go for $150 (on craigslist).

>>1009760
yeah take both. they don't really take up much space.

That is pretty much the bottom basement price for a detector with any sort of accuracy.
You could get an old telephone company/gas company locator, I don't think they have

But I don't think that one will work. It doesn't look fancy enough to locate an EMS pod.

I would want the collar to be a passive device, like an EMS locator coil/pod/ball. And then you get your wand up top to find it.

Oh god.
I want to locate a moving EMS marker one day labelled "FERRET"

Might be able to fineagle something with a strong radio transmitter on its back (since it won't be going deep underground) and three+ receivers. Triangulation sort of thing, but you'd have to write all your own code for it

I got this several years ago and it still works great.

Fill upp a big tank with a mixture of water, chalice and salt. Then you pump it all down one of the holes.

invest in pullup / pulldown resistors

without a schematic we can't say shit

>>1011686
pull up / pull down resistors for what? i thnk i have them on everthing that needs them, everything works except when i sleep the atmega

i just don't understand why sleeping the atmega seems to be causing interference on the 3.3v

>>1011690

pulldown for the output

you can add some caps to the power rail.

You need to invert the axis anon. There should be check boxes for this in the settings. Read the instructions

>>1011650
I need a fresh config to work with. i am using marlin right now. it seems close to what i need. i just neet to know what to do. there are no instructions though, because gearbest is chinamade KO crap.

>>1011650
He probably installed the stepper wires backwards

>>1011668
Its just an i3, go through and build the settings yourself. Its not hard, you should know what you have

>>1011499
Sand it until it's as smooth as you like.
Apply stain.

If you can disassemble it (removing the top from the base and such), then do so as it will make the sanding a lot easier to do.

>>1011448
a big one means you need it brighter to lit up the whole room

more light means more equal lighting across the room

the only rule should be enough lumen for the space but this is also largely depending on your interior design

so if you have no idea... just install over old ones

being recessed means they cast their light mostly downwards, so to get even lighting, you have to have a lot of them or else you get dark areas. i had a bunch of 12V halogens before, and just had to replace the bulbs, since you can get LED with MR16 type sockets. so, it only took like 3 mins per lamp to replace.

>>1011454
Alright, that makes sense. Is there still decent energy saving even though you've got multiple cans where previously there was only 1 fixture?

>Is it practical to carve things out of wood you find in the forest?
Working green wood is generally not a great idea because it will shrink and crack.

>>1011286
If you can find 'recently dead' wood it's generally not too bad after a bit of drying out and checking for bugs, fungus and shit. Smaller pieces you can do in a microwave as well if you're careful.
Green timber takes a while to dry naturally and you've got to clean the bark off it, seal the ends and generally prep it for storage away somewhere.

Most of it is a pain in the arse, but I still go out after storms and see if I can find a few interesting bits with natural bends

I'd recommend a brass coupler for air compressors. Easier to fill if you add the valve and use an air compressor. You can also add a gauge so you constantly know pressure

>>1011246
best idea.

>>1011246
This, then get one of these to go innawoods

http://m.harborfreight.com/5-gallon-portable-air-tank-65594.html?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided

It'll be easy to convert it to a proper air compressor coupling. You might ask why not just leave it since it's a schraeder valve hose, and that's because air compressor hardware will last hard repetitive use, schraeder valves aren't meant to be used several times a day.

Use t g at elements glue to fasten the smoke alarm securely to your forhead, shove everything else up your ass and then shit out golden eggs.

solidwerks

solidwerks just werks. it's super easy to do simple stuff.

actually I'm not qualified to answer but solidwerks has never let me down for anything.

except for scripting. I have not yet figured out how to script geometry transformations in SW yet. I actually have to import my shit into sketchup of all things to execute my preprocessing scripts.
