so when you lower your action and readjust your intonation, the string is more difficult to bend? That would happen if you needed to move the saddle away from the nut, making the string's active length longer, but I wouldn't have thought it would be that noticeable.

>>1001582
Going out of tune sounds normal, in fact you should probably check the intonation as well. Harder to bend? Not sure about that one but instinctively I'm guessing it shouldn't change much. Have you tried /mu/?

What is: truss rod.

The issue isn't necessarily at the bridge. I've had an issue in the past with a 335 and I ended up adding tension to the truss rod to correct it.

buy one that has a dimmable or controllable dimmer or ballast. Duh what the fuck?

This is /diy/ not /buy/

Google how to build your own its easier and cheaper ordering parts from alibaba

I want to build the controller because a dimmable one is way more expensive.

Already did, but building one whole light would be way more expensive. So yeah, I just want help with the dimmer, thanks.

PWM, perhaps via an Arduino and maybe a solid state relay, might do the trick. An additional advantage to using a programmable microcontroller is that you should be able to schedule it without too much difficulty.

It is normal that quick-curing resins get warm. Also, casting large blocks (high volume to surface area ratio) makes them run hotter. Your cicada corpse might have some effect as well.
I hope you vacuumed the bubbles out.

>>1001471
the bottom part that i set the cicada in hardened a little too much, so the top half has a lot of bubbles whereas the bottom is perfectly clear, i ran a hair dryer over it, which got rid of a good bit of the bubbles, but there are a lot that are too deep it seems for the drier to affect

>>1001467
Resin curing is exothermic, so pretty normal. I wouldn't worry about it.

Epoxy primer and food grade epoxy.
Or just build one from marine ply, woven fiberglass cloth and food grade epoxy.

Goon bags. Tough, built in spout, 4l per bag (depends on bag), takes any shape.

or just make it out of stainless steel

Did you google it?

Apologize for shit tier quality, but this is the bottom of the lighter. The hole is where the butane goes in. The paper that came with the lighter said that you need an adapter to put non-swank butane into it. The screw thing next to the lighter hole is where the flint comes out

This is the Flint. I think it's pretty much spent because no sparks come when I click the lighter, but I could just be retarded. Do they sell Flint in this style anymore? Can I just go to the store and buy a normal Zippo/bic Flint? Will I have to jerry-rig Flint into this casing?

They've had it.

The only fix would be to clue a bit of rubber over the hole but I wouldn't bother on those canvas shoes.

high gloss polyurethane?

Took me a lot of sawdust to get this trick right.
Superglue.
Sand down to 1000 grit, burnish with sawdust if you are inclined then take a paper towel and fold it as a pad then apply liquid not gel cyano to the piece at medium rpm and spread it smooth. You have to be careful about it hardening from heat while the towel is on it or you'll get paper bits.
I implore you to give this a go, it's cheap and gives good results with a bit of practice.

OP is smart.

A Band-Aid. Made with woven fibers.

Alternatively get a piece of cloth and brush adhesive on it.

Can I ask what you're planning to do because so far all I'm collecting is that you want to tape a lighter to your forehead

if you have a menards nearby, they sometimes have melamine boards (I think they're 1x8) on rebate really cheap...I've used them to make shelving units, and with supports in the form of 1x3 strips under each shelf, they hold up pretty well

of course, it would be much simpler to just use whatever cheap dimensional lumber you can get your hands on

if you can get some pallets, you could make storage cubes and stack them

otherwise the dirt cheap option would mean making a couple frames with 1x2s or so, and using strips of osb as shelves, not pretty, but it works

if you want a cheap desk, you could make one with simple 4x4 posts and a free wooden door from CL...maybe put a piece of plywood on top

Sounds like a dorm room. Make a deck (platform) with your bed bunked above it. You can put a couch or futon on the deck easily, storing stuff under the deck. Add shelving to the bunk is easy. Use bolts if you're going to put it up and take it down a few times. It will cost more upfront but screws are less reliable after an iteration or 2. If this is long term "never" taken down structure, then screws are fine.

For plans, Google dorm room lofts or bunk beds. Should have lots of inspiration. If you deck other parts of the room then you get more storage.

Pick is something like I'm talking about. Just imagine it all on a platform 8-12" off the ground.
