>Is it okay to bypass a blown fuse

Oh sure thing, what could go wrong?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Pcs-SEFUSE-Cutoffs-SF214E-216-C-10A-250V-Thermal-Fuse-Microtemp-NEW-/161801102991?hash=item25ac18e68f:g:DHUAAOSwjVVV1vM9

Personally I would probably just bypass it until the package arrives, if you can't live without it for a while. This naturally means it won't blow when the temp gets too high though, so keep an eye on it while it's in use...

I'm guessing I don't need to emphasize how dangerous it could be

take a nap :))

Sweet jesus that is a rusty engine. Did you pull it out of a lake or something?

You're probably going to have to drill out the old bolts now, which is a bitch but doable. Following that, I think you'll have to retap the holes in the engine for a larger size thread to remount the PS pump.

There might be an extractor that will help you, but not until you unseize those threads. Get some damn Kroil if your shit is that rusty, it kicks WD-40's ass.

>>959820
I did soak it I'm liquid wrench and used left handed bits. Just drilling holes. Tapping might need to happen.

Mechanized maybe?

pretty sure the word you're looking for is "development"

Thanks though man appreciate it. I'm assuming there's probably no other way to do this on the cheap side is there?

Bump

For some reason I don't think smoking weed out of plastic is a good idea.

>>959505
Maybe if you knew more about the world you wouldn't be so jealous that you hadn't thought of this idea first yourself. People make bottle bongs all the time and they don't die, do they?

2/2. What powder is this? I found both of these at an abandoned art studio if that helps any.

Here is a picture of the outlet next to the tub on the main floor.

>>959142
Damn it, I can't post a picture upright. My apologies to all those breaking their necks trying to look at these.

Yes, but you're going to have to gut them to at least remove or shrink those windows and accommodate additional plumbing for the shower head and shower surround (DIY cheap --> remove the tub entirely and buy a $300 fiberglass tub and shower surround). Adding an exhaust fan is trivial but you'll need one around 100 cfm.

>better method
probably something involving a laser cutter
>is copper the best
no, gold and mercury are the best.
>where to get glass fibre
a retailer of fiber glass?

In theory you could bond metal foil to a flat and even sheet of fiberglass substrate to make a truly home-made PCB. In practice this is probably dumb.

OP, I can't contribute personal experiences, but if you don't have much luck on here, I recall seeing an few canning threads on /ck/ in the past.

If you end up running into a ton of problems with canning, pickling is a pretty easy short-ish term solution for certain food stuffs.

to have any efficient water or wind turbine.. I think you need something a little more precise than, a golf club handle, a hose rack and some plywood.

I mean for fucks sake, at least a bronze bushing OR cheap china bearings would be 100% better then what ever the fuck that was.

I get it: it powered a 30 watt PSU fan. Could of done that by wiring those solar cells off the tops of those path/garden lamps together to do the same thing.

Go to home depot or Lowe's. Look at the prefabs they have. Why waste money on plans? You can probably Google 'shed plans' and get them free.

Plans are for more complicated things like houses, cars, motorcycles, et cetera.

>>958530
A plan is nice to have, but if you can draw and measure it's unnecessary. It's good practice to have a plan when building something more complex than you have before, and a lot of times even if you don't really need one. It's just easier to have something to reference off of.

Now here's the key. The plan you use has to be correctly laid out, otherwise it won't as you intend. If you feel you can lay it out then go for it. The plan is $17, do you think you can make a plan that's as good as the one they're selling? If no then buy it. Is a few frustrating hours of your life worth $17 saved? If no, buy it. The shed is already going to set you back a few hundred to build, is $17 more going to kill you. If no, buy it.

I personally wouldn't, but I have a background in carpentry. I've been doing it for years. If it was my first time I wouldn't trust myself to draw it out. Nothing worse than wasting $400 on something unusable.

One thing about that shed, if you're putting it on the earth and not cement. The 2 bottom rails, make sure you use pressure treated wood suitable for ground contact. I would even go as far as to put a plastic sheet underneath them.You'll have to flatten and level the earth, so the shed sits flat against the ground. This will help prevent unwanted stresses on the structure. And look through the wood pile to find the truest boards of the bunch.

Op here, thanks for the advice, I'm probably going to buy the plans, was just cautious in case there was some horror stories about them being terrible. I've built timber frames and shutters before but never a complete structure so I'd rather just take some of the headache out of it. Plus it'll make it easier to calculate costs.

I'm definitely going to lay a concrete slab. I was a ground worker for 8 years so the slab will be the only thing I'll be able to do without breaking a mental sweat.

Option 1. Put a rubber band over the screw driver head and try to turn it

Option 2. If that doesn't work melt the clip on a Bic pen lid with a lighter and jam it onto the screw head before it solidifies. Use the pen lid to turn the screw.

Option 3. Take a flathead screwdriver slightly larger than correct driver but still small enough to fit in the screw head. Place it on the screw head and tap the screwdriver with a hammer until it makes an indent which you can use to turn the screw.

Option 4. Take a drill bit the width of the screw body and, using extreme caution, drill out the screw.

Option 5. Use a commercially available screw extractor set.

Option 6. Remove all the other screws, rotate the entire panel to put torque on the stripped screw.

>>958508
Thank you anon I'll try

>>958505
Are you sure it's stripped and you aren't just using the wrong screw driver? Your picture is too potato to tell.

this is what i use now, works fine most of the time. does not have to be quick-change type as this work is done in a drill press.

if a single piece bit doesn't exist, any recommendation on best drill bit with countersink and/or countersink on its own?

>>958188
>this is what i use now, works fine most of the time. does not have to be quick-change type as this work is done in a drill press.
My advice would be to just keep on using what you are using, but use a Dremel to grind little divots in the drill bit for the countersink set screws. Then locktite the set screws in place with the unbreakable locktite, so they stay there forever.

Another way would be to braze the countersinks in place on the drill bits.

This will ruin the drill bit, but who gives a shit. It is the cheapest solution that will do what you want.

~~~~~~~

There are places that will make a single-piece tool bit like what you want, but they would charge you $100+ each. And that would be for ordering dozens of the same bit, in one size.

Is this compressor gas driven or electric?

>Putting a flammable liquid inside a pressure vessel.

>>958064
You just answered yourself. WD-40 is not a lubricant. It's a water displacing (WD - get it?) penetrant. It's effective at doing the opposite of what you wanted to do - thinning and removing lubricants. When you sprayed it into the air intake you probably fucked up the oil film on the cylinder and piston, leading to metal on metal friction.
