if battery voltage is higher than led forward voltage a resistor is required.
the resistor value will set the power the led will use. try a value that is bright enough, not too bright.

this is something that you shouldn't worry about

for a standard jellybean LED just throw in 1k unless you are working with unusually high power. otherwise just get a 10k pot, and test it.

Use a resistor to drop the extra 1.5V (and limit current).
Resistor_Value = 1.5Volts / LEDamps

So an LED rated 20mA would need a R of:
R = 1.5/0.02 = 75ohms

Seems like something for which you can make up your own measurements as long as the dowel-holding slots are cut spaced evenly.

Do you want something lifesize or remote controlled?

Lifesize: HAHAHA faggot. Learn to weld and go to the scrapyard for your metal needs. Use a VW Beetle rolling chassis. Many kitcars that go this route.

RC: HobbyKing surely got what you need. Learn to fucking browse their site.

Have them let you update the carpet in exchange for cheaper rent. (Get it in writing)

Routers come down to this...

Motor rating. REAL RATINGS look at the actual voltage/amprage sticker. For example if the motor says "3HP" on the package but it says 110 volt 8 amps on the sticker. Its not 3hp. 15 amps is about 2hp realistic in most motors like 1.8hp

So judge by the motor. Also the faceplate.. One that has a stamped metal plate at least... Plastic can be good but it won't be on any router that comes with them.

And finally a router isn't meme tier. Its the first real power tool!

Hang a painting there.

I just use my washer as my laundry hamper. When it gets full it gets washed. I also keep my dressers in the laundry room.

I use these frequently at work, I suggest renting one, trying it out, but if you do purchase one get a combo one, drill/ hammer I think the Milwaukee has that option.

get a hilti te70 best one i used...

Use Plastidip paint. Its very flexible and easy to apply.

Isn't plastidip a rubber? Will that actually stick to PVC?

Well, whatever you do entirely depends on what equipment you have, the kind of effort you want to put in it, and the amount of money you are willing to spend on it, be it materials or tools.

If you are feeling really cheeky and want to recycle some board scrap of the same thickness, you can always use dowels to join them together, plane them flat and finish. While it won't look absolutely amazing, some can argue that it can add "character" to the piece, but I don't mind. If you want something nicer, look for woods that please you - cedar, oak and even cherry. Wood choice is up to you, and that will affect cost and finishing methods. Some woods, depending on where you are, can be hard to source for whatever size you are going for because not many may be willing to cut a large piece for you. Feel free to prove me wrong, as I am unaware of the availability of many woods worldwide.

As for gridlines, depending on the wood, you can route them out, use a sharpie or even burn them on. All require different equipment, have varying results and need varying levels of experience. Burning a pattern on always looked nice to me. Whatever you do for this step will determine the kind of finish that is available to you.

As for finishes, you can always oil it up with linseed, apply polyurethane, waxes, leave the wood alone, and my personal favorite, shellac for a french polish. Whatever you have for the gridlines may have a bad effect on the finish, such as bad visibility, so take that into consideration.

I'm a big fan of french polished goods, especially when it doesn't fit the item, so I'm a bit biased towards that. I suggest you look into shop-cut woods or even just wood availability in your area and start your search there. MDF with a layer of stencilled in paint and clearcoated might just be the cheapest option I can think of, apart from using a pencil for lines.

CRT? Then its leaded glass. Leaded glass is softer then normal glass. You might be able to polish it.

It went to Charity. I should've bought the Philips next to it, or at least checked the conditions of each screen. I wanted to buy both, desu. They sell really well.

Check out the app called Houzz, you can view other people's remodelled interior spaces from home owner's and professionals. Just search for bedrooms and save the one's you like. Hopefully that helps!

Last bump for clean dishes
anybody?
Helpful hints?

check your drain hose, your impeller and drain motor for clogs and such.
