Designs like this seem like a much better use of four servos

Cut the bottoms off all your 1-gallon milk jugs and save them. When you plant, shove a milk jug over each seedling to create a tiny greenhouse for them.

Jesus, they are known as tombs around here. You sure you want to kill yourself that bad?

He means that it doesn't look stable and might fall apart, killing the person inside.

I think that would fall under metal bending.

>>989352
Wouldn't it technically be fire bending?

>>989352
>>989356
Maybe it's one of those special bending only special people can do, like lava bending.
Which I suspect is inheritable.

your computer doesn't have the hardware necessary to be used as a decent oscilloscope on its own, but

1: sound card's LINE-IN ADC with perhaps a custom driver; will only work to 41/48khz and require a preamp but it's better than nothing

2: picoscope or similar device

>>989027

don't

buy a tektronix tds 360 for <200 bucks

PicoScope

>>988686

OP here, ill start

>What's your favorite tool/s?
9" linesman pliers, have used them in so many situations, always find more use
>What's your latest purchase?
Just got the rockwell bladerunner x2, its plastic, but has gotten good reviews, plus i dont have room for real tools...
>What are you thinking of buying?
I need a stick welder
>Which tools do you dream to own?
Everything in a metal shop, fingers crossed to work in one starting in a month
>Whats your workspace look like?
4' wide hallway, only bad thing about the city, no space.
>What's your favorite stuff to work on?
im an electrician by trade, love splicing runing wires. Also anything to do with wood or metal. So soothing. Threaded black iron pipe yesterday on a RIDGID 300, was fun af can't believe i got paid to do that.

>>982889
>oh boy another tool brand war thread
hopefully tonight we can act like adults.
Not going to lie, i do love milwaukee, partly because of their color scheme and logo, also im an electrician and primarily use their hand tools, measuring tape and snips are GOAT desu.
However,m i don't let it dictate what i buy, especially if it's corded, i research all the tools i buy before doing so. Will generally buy refurbished when i can.
bosch js260 not a scratch $50
bosch sander $50
milwaukee 12 amp sawzall $40 beat to shit, but being demolition tool , i suppose its meant to be...

Pic related, the blade runer x2. I bought it because it replaces a chop saw, tabIe saw, jigsaw as well as being ablew to cut all materials id need it too. looks gimmicky but hopefdully it will serve my needs between table saw cuts and metal pipe cuts, and if i ever ned it for a job. Thoughts on it?

Are we talking symbiosis as in tiny-bird-cleaning-reptilian-maw, or "symbiosis" as in "hey, you've got blood to spare, just gonna park my ass here and try not to tickle TOO much?"

How light a sleeper are you, and how well can you tune out noise? My friend had a modest, name-brand portable air conditioner and it was like a goddamned leafblower. You might be better off a window cracked open about a quarter of the way, a small tower fan oscillating in your general direction, and a cheap box fan doing its business from a good distance away. Far cheaper in both initial cost and lifetime cost, and quieter unless you're sensitive to the drone of a fan.

>>992725
I grew up on having a fan next to me going to sleep. So white noise won't be a problem.

But I pay a couple bills and drive people occasionally in exchange for staying and not paying actual rent and going to college.

>>992730

So what's the issue with fans? Or is it less about personal comfort and more about not frying your electronics?

It would suggest a high current draw and high resistance between the socket and the motor.

Is it being over loaded? Is any of the power cable coiled or bunched up?

>>992422
Hot wires are almost always the result of using a smaller gauge wire than the rated electrical load of the device.

Find a replacement power cord with heavier gauge wire. Take off the back panel (while unplugged) and unscrew the old one and replace it with the new one

>>992422
How many watts is it pulling down?
Lot of this stuff with the cord getting hot could be that the connectors in the socket (wall) are old and shitty, or the cord itself has some kind of problem where the wires have been kinked and broken.

>>992367
An electric band hasn't got any hands, how do you expect it to hold the steering wheel?

Well, I know elastic bands are made of elastic, and that cars use wheels to move along the ground.

>>992367
Yeah, I had to build one of those in high school, and as I recall the most important thing was that any fucking idiot can build one, so figure it the fuck out.

>>992086
some kind of transformer

>black long piece
its the hv transformer. probably have a arc short in the hv winding. just toss it.

>>991983
I'm no woodworker, but isn't that what chisels are for?

>>991986
That's my last resort :\ like I said I plan on doing more of this in the future so I would just like to know what the most efficient way to do this would be. If that's a hammer and chisel I'll do it, but I have to imagine there's a less time-consuming method out there.

>>991983
Do you have a drill? Drill through the corners, connect with layout lines on the other side, route that. Or get a pattern router bit, plunge through with your first bit somewhere in the half completed hole, then use the pattern bit. They have a roller bearing on the bottom that will follow the opening you've already created. Personally, I'd use a 1" chisel.
