I suppose a cheap, easy solution would be to paint the back and lower portion of the LEDs black, so that none of the light shines into your eyes. Of course, your vision would still be somewhat obstructed, but you could still see enough to avoid walking into things.

>>950317
thanks for the advice
but do you think there would an alternative for the LEDs?

>>950323
To be honest, probably not. LEDs are cheap, easy to work with, and most importantly lightweight, perfect for something worn on the head.

Of course, if you were only displaying a static pattern, you could fill the non-lit parts with some appropriately coloured plastic film, such as the type used on lamps/projectors. That'd let you see straight through the majority of the visor, and could still look pretty good, as long as you picked your colours right.

The blade is crazy rusted so we need to use the "gets-shit-done" wire brush

Check out that difference, doing great so far. I can already tell from the deep pits at the end of the blade we aren't going to be able to get this blade to look perfect in the end. I would have to shave off too much of the blade and it would end up too thin. Oh well, let's see what we can do.

Here are the pits up close. Unfortunately the rust was pretty bad over time so they went pretty deep.

Have you cleaned the carb recently? Will it start again if it has been running recently? Have you run the line for any cracks/holes?

Theres like an episode in season 2 of breaking bad, they do some shit with magnets and get the rv running, check that out

i was told the carb looks clean, i believe it will once it gets going, no

my mechanic friend who died says it needed a manual choke. i dont understand the theory, because i still need to inject the gas

>How would I charge say a bunch of 18650 lithiums fast without it turning into the fourth of july?
Liquid electrolyte lithium-ion round cells may be tempting for their somewhat better energy density, but if you're gonna push the charge rate past 1C/<1hr then you're probably better off with LiPoly batteries instead. I'm not saying charging round cells at 3-4C can't be done, but you're kinda in uncharted territory there.

Source? Motor? The hardest part is finding a motor that can be mounted, be balanced, and within spec. I don't know what kind of motor that is, but I'll take 10 for all my various projects.

Why does it have a wheel if it can hover?

>>950126

This is probably more of an /o/ sqt desu...

You more than likely though have a line leak somewhere...

>>950126
High low-side and low high-side is almost always a compressor but can be expansion valve. Check to see if anybody installed an aftermarket filter in-line those things fuck everything up (if they did it would be on the low-side before the expansion valve.

its the expansion valve most likely. this is what causes the compressed gas to expand into a liquid. if theres a blockage the gas cant expand properly and wont become liquid and thus wont get cold

45 might be a little extreme. Good luck keeping your pillow and blankets from sliding to the floor.

Why can't you sleep? Acid reflux or sleep apnea? Omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) stopped my reflux and my new cpap machine has me sleeping better than I ever have.

Yeah i think that kind just uses a standard telescoping antenna. Not sure what sort of upgrades you have in mind tho.

Yuo should open it up for us, I love seeing those old TO105 flying saucer transistors

I honestly expected it to be more complex, but it seems fairly simple in the circuit. And it's in not to bad of a condition.

Sorry about that resolution

It won't make the wood whiter no matter how many coats you use. It's actually making the wood grain darker. The same stain on a different wood type will show a completely different shade and color.

To get wood lighter in tone the general methods are either Bleaching or Pickling
These techniques are NOT stains
They require a different set of products unlikely to be at a BIGBOX store
Try Woodcraft or Rockler

>>950888
We have Woodcraft here but is it too late since ive already applied this to half the cabinet units?were not unhappy with the results so far its just...different from what we expected.the cabinets still look nice with our counter tops so idk if a ton of effort is really necessary if those lightening techniques would add days to the process.we have a lot more to get to by our move in date.

The computer talks to the peripheral and asks it what it is. The peripheral responds and tells the computer. That's basically it.

Wow thanks. This is really interesting.

Fucking muricans, this is not a wall. This is a bullshit room parting tool.

No seriously, how can you call this a wall?
How are you americans so retarded to build a house like this? Ever wonderd why a tornado/hurricane fucks you so called houses?

seriously, i am getting angry about so much stupidity - check out that pic: your wood sehds aer fucked up but the solid rocks are still standing.

dumb mericans

>>950607
Tornadoes easily destroy brick houses. They easily destroy steel buildings too.

You'll need the longer one because of the tolerancing involved. Don't cheap out on this, there's literally zero point if you're not going to do it right.

>>949549
It's a half size mill, anon.
Forgot to mention that.

>>948696
>Could I use a smaller one multiple times?

Technically yes, but it's not going to work as well. You simply aren't going to get as good a rub if you're trying to sort of "bridge" two flat areas with a small straightedge. Again, if you're bothering to scrape something, there's no point in half-assing it because the entire point of scraping is that it gives whole-assed results. Why spend hours and hours doing it if you can't get it to within a mil because your straightedge is too small?

>Will a square straight edge work instead of a camel back one?

Unlikely. The point of the construction of the latter is that it doesn't flex much. Can't have a straight straightedge if it's flexing, and even a little flex matters when you're talking about the kind of tolerances you want when scraping a bed/ways.

I drink a similar beer, but I'm in Chicago, so it's Old Style.

Although I am a beer snob, I deliberately try to keep it light while working.

>>on phone, no pics.

i know of robie house...

my foursquare is different then most ive seen online it has a straight staircase starting 3 feet from the front door in the middle in that wall and i havent found a layout with these feature i want to use... my goal is to blend classic style heritage and honor it at same time open it up, update it, and have contemporary convenience such as bedroom ensuite bathroom/laundry kit

Maybe 3.8 - 2.8 cfm? How does I algebras

>>951128
well 0 pressure is 0 flow so there is a point on your graph.
but it doesn't tell you the order of the function.
im no fluid dynamics expert

>>951139
The relationship is linear, just graph it
