Depends.. Got any hand tools? Handheld circular saw? I know exactly what to do to get it cut with a circular saw.. Its a bit dodgy but it works. And the grey colored bits work for grinding on rocks from your rotary tool kit. Not the orange ones. They more so polish then they do grind tho.

>>958017
I don't have any hand tools at all aside from a hand-rotated hobby drill like they use for Warhammer miniatures and very fine and small nail files.

What grey/orange coloured bits?

Bumparoo before I go to bed.

Step one, gather this materials:
-OP
-Big black dildo
Step two, put in a room together
Step three, ???
Step four, congratulations, now you have a peerpetuum mobile, attach generator to harvest the energy and power your house with clean fag energy.

Since Unicorns are extinct you can't get the most important ingredient therefore you can't build one. Same goes for time machines and wish machines.

Now go take your meds.

What about a tankless water heater?theyre under 200 bucks and mount pretty much anywhere.i get that youre poor but seems like a reasonable purchase to save up for.

>>957687
Well my issue is I have no idea how to install it indoors. How could I do it safely without killing myself or others? Proper venting, plumbing etc.

>>957690
I believe theyre very safe.we have one mounted right in the bathroom at my job for a sink and shower.water heaters arent usually vented for exhaust gases.the tankless units i referred to are about the size of a microwave oven.walmart sells them.im not sure about propane option but my guess is that theyre available.

Bumping out of interest.

What shit did you buy without a nozzle?

>>957300

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001GU6CNM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

It didnt come with a nozzle, even though the picture shows one

I would complain, but I have to get this project done by tomorrow so theres no point - I wouldnt have time to get a new one anyway

There is a review on amazon that has the same no nozzle complaint as you.just cut the tube open and brush the shit on with something.

>What would I use the -12v rail for?
Circuits that require a split supply, like op-amps, or RS-232 drivers.

>>957221
Ah, okay cool. Thanks anon.

>>957215
You should also bring out the +3.3V rail, and for bonus points, if you dig into the supply itself and find the feedback divider, you could put a potentiometer in there and have some variability of the outputs. You could also cut the sense line connections on the power supply PCB and bring them out to binding posts as well, jumpering them to the appropriate output for run-of-the-mill applications, but allowing you to have remote sensing for high current-draw applications, so the supply would automatically compensate for line loss.

I'd start with that huge wad of tape. a bad connection is the easiest and cheapest possibility and you'd need to replace that horrible cord to operate it safely anyways

>>957009
See if there is a model or chassis number and a manufacturer on it somewhere. I Will see if I can get you some more info.

Don't get your hopes up that unit was made in germany and crouts make some complicated and annoying to work on equipment.

>>957000
Depends.
What do you wanna do?
Do you have any tools?
Did you have a father growing up?

All it takes to convert anything into a "man cave" is to buy tacky ass "masculine" versions of the hobby lobby decorations.

They are great to let everyone know how much you fall into pop cultures idea of masculinity!

Run of the mill Bridgeport with a 48" table hooked up to a Prototrack MX2 2 axis controller.


I also run a 42" brideport with a Prototrak EMX 2 axis controller and a 48" Prototrack DPM2 with the SMX 3 axis controller.

>>957456
jelly, I wish I could afford equipment like that, also because my workshop is small and in a basement with steep stairs its impossible to get anything heavier than 200 kg into there

>>956858
this thing weighed 160 kg and was a pain in the ass to manouver down the stairs without disaters

Look what I just got guise! It's pretty much my first power tool, except a Dremel. I'm chuffed and can't wait to use it!

Order from China.

Or 3d print a high resolution positive, make a silicone negative, and pour molten PVC in it in two parts.

>>956803
With great difficulty unless you have a CNC.

op do you already have one or access to one?

if so then it will be easy as fuuuuck

the original was probably injection molded, but thats fine you can make one easy

k so take original

make a mold negative using silicon or just press it into a block of clay

fill the triumph part with blue flexible casting plastic shit, fill in the black part with black

when both are dry, fill in the rest with the white flexy plastic shit

look up resin casting mold

you can even add a rag holder to it, so you can clean up the oil leaks when you are done riding your triumph

>>956466
Boards look cut. Good jorb OP!

>>956483
They were scrap from random boards. White oak. Red oak. And a couple strips of mahogany.

>ripped to 2 1/2"
>cut to 23 1/16"

Im not a pro butcher block maker by any means.

>flywheel

Is that a joke? Seriously I wonder what would happen if flywheels became the main energy storage device for solar power? With the earth covered in millions of giant flywheels wouldn't the gyroscopic force slow the rotation of the earth?

>>955754
Vacuum sealed flywheels are actually a pretty great way to store energy

>>955752

Apologies for the crooked pic above, the thumbnail was rotated properly.

I've looked into it before about a decade ago.

The issue was needing to constantly re-point the dish or buy a motorized one.

So I never pulled the trigger.

OTA, yes....FTA, no

only have a 10ft pole with a medium size antenna and still get all the local channels

fed it into a homeworx converter and I can record as much HD as will fit on an external usb drive

the HDTV signal can be a pain with all the snow, but otherwise it's pretty nice considering the low cost and that it's all portable
