It's a margins business from what I understand. Don't invest in any large scale or pro-grade equipment cause you probably can't compete with the dudes selling shirts for a dollar a piece.

>>942402
So then where should I start from to gain an understanding of the whole shtick in the business?

The ink and emulsion is where it gets expensive. The screens are around 30 dollars a piece. If you want to get into screen printing I recommend a small two or four station machine before spending hundreds on a big elaborate machine.

a long masonry bit might work. they have a tungsten carbide cutting edge brazed on a steel shaft.

Here's a tip: It's easier to get a good hole by starting from the back and being precise enough to exit through the tip rather than trying to start a hole on a point

I have a geology/mineral related thread here >>941480

I'm posting a link to your thread in my thread also, OP.

Maximum linkage between related topics.

>>940544
More info. What parts? footprints? Masked PCB? What iron do you have?

Sorry, should have been more specific. It's for an oscilloscope kit I bought. They're 0805 resistors, and two ICs with a bit more space. Pics attached! Thanks

Also I have a 30W RadioShack iron. I lost my weller!

I'd say to strip it all, give it a light sanding for any crap that wond come off, and then go to store, and ask for a primer suitable for old plaster.

apply a layer of primer, follow instructions on that, then paint the finish surface.


But I mostly wanted to say thankyou to OP for that picture, because, having spent too long on /tg/, all I can see is a fantastic map coastline for a world to be created from that picture.

>>942519
the brown stains indicate water leaking above the ceiling or something, you have a bigger problem than the paint itself

>>942521
Sounds good


And what about the doorways? Sand that down too or just paint over?

>>942522
What kind of damage will this cause? Isn't it the landlord's responsibility? My aunt isn't savvy on these things and may get taken advantage of at times

For that style they need to have a flat side. So no to circle, yes to octagon.

>>941062
Ok cool.

Octagon was more important anyways. If I get the sealer plastic they sell on rolls, is it ok to cut it into the shapes I need?

>>941090
They have two features, impulse seal, which melts the plastic sheets together and vacuum which removes the air.

You can cut the plastic to what shape or size you need.

Also, I plan to run Ubuntu server on this, hide it in closet and access it remotely from my desktop pc.

>>942637

wrong board... perhaps /g/ thats the technology board... all the computer nerds hang out there

>>942637
OpenVPN, then Samba or MiniDLNA.

You can reduce your attack surface by running OpenVPN on an OpenWRT device, with one port inside the DMZ and one port outside.

Post a picture of it. It could be just shitty pot metal. Zinc, aliums, tin. It could be plated brass, copper etc.

Silver is cheap why not remake the main part out of solid silver? Also why silver, it tarnishes and isn't something you normally plate onto things.

>>942614
Its probably pewter.

>>942627
I don't have it with me right now but i will make sure to post a picture of it tommorow.

I already let a jewelry store cast the whole thing as silver before and gifted it to my wife as a present, the original thing was the first thing she ever gave to me so i thought maybe i can atleast make it look nicer so it doesn't look like the usual hipster infinity bracelet.

Why silver? I don't really know actually, it's cheap to get and i like how it looks.

>>942628
Looks very much like it thank you, also i just read that it can turn darker after quite a while and i noticed some spots on the symbol do the same.

If you just want an 1/0 Signal use digital signals. Analog Signals are also for other statuses, between 1/0.

433 Hz is not radio frequency. You don't use LEDs to send radio signals, you use antennae. You don't need any arduinos to do something like this.

What exactly are you using to attempt to send a signal and what exactly are you using to receive it?

>>942555

I know LEDs dont send signals. I want the LED to light up when the receiver gets a signal that the transmitter is on.

>>942517
Like, pong the video game in a cocktail arcade cabinet or good ol' ping pong with a net an' everything?

>>942517
The finish you give it is more important to prevent scratching then the type of wood most of the time.

insulation melting due to a single heat source

If it's plugged into your handset/base that should be pretty low resistnce, just the speaker.

>>942500
That means the 4 wires are all touching at some point, obviously

>>942453
Call the property owner/ landlord.

>>942453

looks like your landlord was taking shortcuts to increase his profits.

>>942463
>>942473
The owner's the company I work for, and I'm unlikely to get any help from them until Monday. At least there's a kettle.

ADA complaint handrail connectors?
They have all types of fittings you can get.

>>942294
Hollaender Speed Rail, Kee Klamps, Quik Klamps are the brands I have used over the last 4 years. Hollaender comes in light weight aluminum, while Kee Klamps comes in galvanized steel and aluminum. All use hex keys to tighten up the connectors to their pipes.

The painted surface will now have a clear coat on top of it.

>>942394
Sweet. Didn't know if it would pull some enamel+lacquer-like bullshit.

It really depends on what the material actually is.
They also sell a "white wash" by Rit to get rid of dyes, but its even more hit and miss than bleach is.

Its really a toss up because nobody knows what materials it actually is, it could turn your blue bits orange for example.

I would just try it on a small piece and see what it does.

>>942284
I think it's leather

maybe you could carefully take the top layer off with some sort of carving tool?

>>942273
It depends on the house. I keep my house set at 55 in the dead of winter and have no problems. My friend's house was set at 70 and his pipes burst on a cold snap last week.

If the house is well insulated and the pipes are free from drafts then they'll be fine as long as no part of them reaches the freezing point.

>>942273

Not sure, we always just put a heater in our well pump house (lol innawoods) and at night we would crack the faucets so they were just dripping to keep pump running and water flowing throughout the night.

>>942273

Interior or exterior pipes?


I had a plumber friend come solder in shutoff valves to all my spigots. I turn them off and drain before the first freeze.

My basement is partially built and the only part of my house with exposed pipes (minus the spigots). It gets about 5-10 degrees cooler than the rest of my house in winter. 66 upstairs, 61 downstairs 27 degrees outside.

I could probably turn my heat completely off and not worry about the pipes. Then again, I live in the south.

Basically, your mileage may vary.
