Easiest would be a stepper motor or a regular DC motor with an encoder.

>Servomotor ? Galvanometer ?
consider a multifaced mirror that continuously rotates. this is how scale barcode scanners operate.
a brushless motor will be practically silent if that is important

out of your two suggestions a galvanometer would probably be better because less mass, friction and momentum than a servo.

>>965420

If it continuously rotate, getting the feels that the string is there (and not blinking to much), and beeing able to know what string is beeing "displayed" at any time (Mandatory in order to know what note is beeing played) seems pretty hard, no ?

The galvanometer is also more expensive, isn't it ?

you'll need another set of hands but an angle grinder will do the trick

the pain will be a constant reminder to not get stupid tattoos

Belt sander?

*DIY, by the way, i am not gonna toss them in the back yard later on for them to come back incase you are wondering, I will euthanize them using vinegar and baking soda and throw them in the toilet after i make sure they are dead, most of the diy bottle traps i tried didn't work, so i thought maybe a few guys here have a smart idea

these are the tits: http://www.amazon.com/Mice-Cube-Pk-Reusable-Humane/dp/B000WB13QC

though I don't see the point in being humane if you're going to kill them anyway.....I guess one could attach a hose to an exhaust pipe and give them CO poisoning

Mattias Wandel has a nice video on mousetraps.

I personally have a leatherman new wave, although i am not a particular multitool guy. Bought this one because it was recommended as, and probably is, the best value for money quality general purpose multitool on the market.
I am however an advocate of quality tools, you pay maybe 4 times the price of a cheap tool, but it'll last you 4 times as long whilst giving you the extra advantages of quality tools such as a nice sharp blade that holds its edge etc.
I've had it now for maybe 5 years and use it for all kinds of tasks mostly around the house and on vacation. Just some examples are cutting tywraps, tightening bolts on the folding tent, opening boxes, cutting electrical wire (i am an electrical engineer).
Most used are knife and pliers, followed by the serated knife, file and saw. I hate scissors on multitools so i only use those when really in a pinch but most tasks for those scissors are better done with the blade.
But as you can see the positioning of the tools in the leatherman is pretty well thought out, most used tools are easily accessed.

>>963312
never buy any tool a car company slapped their name onto....

Leatherman; even a basic model will last forever properly used and cared for

you get what you pay for...that doesn't mean you have to go spend $80-$100, but don't go for the cheapest one and expect wonders

(have an older model from before they started making them with the thinner style....it only has a few things in it, but I like it that way....it's very slim and light while still feels heftier that new models like the sidekick)

What you said seems like good advice. It also seems like you both really like your Leatherman products.Disregarding prices do you know if other companies ( excluding Gerber and VIctorinox given they do ) make products that can compete?

I know CRKT has a few multi-tools that range from $20-$50 ( pic related; I find the odd shape of the tool interesting ( I didn't forget you said you get what you pay for and I'm only bringing up CRKT because they have a decent reputation ) that are supposed to be decent and it seems SOG makes some multi-tools as well.

Then finish the inside later

this is typically how things are built anyway. you complete and weather tight the 'shell' then work on the interior.

Yea I get that but in order to add the second story the roof will have to come off. I can't do all of that in just a few days as I will be by myself so there will be a stretch of time that it is unlivable. I'm trying to avoid that.
Sorry I wasn't clear about that.

Why didn't you listen?

it looks like it's discoloring because it's dirty and causing arcing
also changing the 15amp outlet to a 20amp one was fucking stupid assuming the line wasn't ran for that

>>964936
It's not dirty. It's definitely discoloured from heat. The outlet is only 4 months old.

I don't have anything 20A to plug into it anyway, I just hoped it would handle the heat better. I've never actually seen anything with a 20A plug on it. Does anybody use that?

>>964945
>It's not dirty. It's definitely discoloured from heat.
I can see black build up in both outlets.
In any case, run a new dedicated 20 amp line in your garage

No idea if it's good after that time, but for disposal contact your local council. Most municipalities have free for small volume chemical collection points, if they don't, check with a pharmacy and see if they have some protips.

Thanks!

It is normal that ether bottles smell slightly. The main hazards with ether are flammability (much more flammable than gasoline) and that it slowly forms explosive compounds when exposed to air (including air inside the bottle).
Nowadays its main use is as solvent. Too bad it evaporates very quickly. Apparently you can use it to start some old diesel engines in cold, too.

I don't really see why you would want to keep it.

If you have an Okay welder,could just use scrap re-bar and weld it all up

The only other reason I could see them being useful was if I rigged up something to hold them to the floor of my van it would be easy to get them in and out and locked in to stop rolling all around

I just use a home depot bucket bag

Does anybody have these? I want some too but the price makes me want to find someone who owns them

Just don't! It is a he'll lot of work and I really like the look and feel of an old guitar.

>>965735
Idk man if the thing plays fine I say leave its rugged and aged look alone

>>965795
>>965796
its not this one , just this model , its beat up decently , and neck single doesnt even work , knobs are ugly but original , neck + frets + fr are in a perfect condition

I assume that thing was built for 120v / 60Hz?

Check near the cable.
Post pics if unsure.

I'm fairly certain it is. I'm not at the office right now but I'd say I'm 99% sure that's why it isn't working now.

you have to drill holes in the B60 to undo some plastic clips

They think mortar is like super glue


See the bricks on the top of the openings? Normally you'd use an U-shaped block, pass a rebar through them and pour concrete into them. This works, but as you can see the only thing holding the bricks in place is mortar.

jesus fucking christ, a washing machine is not a can of beans - you don't cut the bottom out with tin snips to work on it.

>>965264
also there's usually a repair manual in a plastic bag taped to the inside of the enclosure

>>965268
Yes I know, it was meant as a quick fix.

I checked all the papers I had, nothing like that included.
