Try and turn an old laptop screen into a TV? It looks like you have most of what you need.

Maxxarcade has got some videos on these DIY tv/monitor kit things.

fucking put the cables where they fit, how can you be so retarded? Or did you just forget you need a screen for this?

If it has an electret insert you should be able to. If not install one.

Plenty of data on google re computer mics.

>>930277

in 2016, no sane person should be using an analog mic on a computer. the static can drive people nuts. get a $5 used Band Camp or Guitar Hero USB mic and stick the element at the end of that stick thing.

>>930309
Yes, use a digital mic that captures digital sound waves.

drill doctor isnt exactly skill-less
you can fuck it up and have lots of inconsistencys
its also a diamond instead of a stone so you can sharpen other things

that being said, its wayyy easier than grinding freehand, also do you have a belt sander? you can just use that


anyways, I use all 3 methods

buy many bits of same size
regrind on grinder
and sharpen on drill doc

buying is easiest, decent drills i can get several of the same size for $5 use oil when drilling

drill doctor is second fav on my list because once you do a bunch it becomes easy as shit to to a lot

grinder takes the most prcatice, but you will have more uses for a grinder than 5x 3/16 drill bits, also a belt sander works as well


so, do all 3 options
dont get home depot drill bits

I had an old machining book with a whole chapter on sharpening drill bits that basically said not to do it. At least not by eye with a grinder. If you are off by just a bit, only one side of the bit will be doing all the drilling. Also having the precis angle is very important for efficiency.

>>928831
>also a belt sander works as well
Ah, thanks for reminding me that I have a belt sander. Well, it's more like a toy belt sander, but it hogs away metal like a champ.

I have a Ken Onion Work Sharp that my wife got me for Christmas a year ago. It gets a blade pretty crazy sharp, but I always preferred using waterstones despite the time it takes. The results from hand sharpening always seemed to be superior and the Work Sharp removes metal so fast it can round off the tip or change the 'belly' of the blade in no time.

Maybe I can adapt my technique for drill bit usage. I'll report back.

What is the purpose of building something that is known not to work?

>>928309
While you do use more energy to work the machine than it can put out, it does in fact do fusion and produce neutrons if fed deuterium gas.

Expensive way to get a small amount of shitty space.

>>928283
But it's kinda the only way, all exterior walls have the (also expensive) siding up; an a-frame could be put directly on top of the existing roof so nothing would be wasted unlike if I tore off a wall of siding or a whole room.but all that being said I'm open to all ideas

>>928286
It's not hard to remove siding remove plywood and build more on it
Especially if installed right you should be able to reuse alot of it

>>927327
Apparently if you apply some glycerin to it before washing it might come out. Hairspray also works apparently.

You could also just re dye it.

Why would you care about a tiny stain?

Oh shit.

They used CJ's old house as an album cover?

I've only listened to one of their albums, but if that shit is real, I have work to do.

The one on the right hand side is no Lamp. It's a fuse. You can get the voltage, current, speet from the metal rings. Meassure its length and you got everyting you need.

Just leaving this here
Google "charmander tattoo"

>>925891
Get the cheapest one you can find, and practice on different fruits. Grapefruit is pretty good. Remember, though, that cheap colours have a tendency to be poisonous as fuck (filled with literal arsenic, and shit). So don't practice on people you like, unless you know what you're doing.

>>925957
Thanks for the tip!

To be honest with you, here's what I have on my mind:

I want to tattoo someone for a long time. It was always just a fun thought but now there's someone real who wants to be tattooed by me.
It's a really simple tattoo. Just one small letter.

So if I buy the cheapest set and use it on fruits and then buy good colors to use it on human - is it a good idea?

If you are tearing down walls anyway I would put in network cables. cat5e or cat6 is the in thing now I suppose.
It won't add value to your house because people just use WiFi

Personally I think smart house is dumb as shit unless you properly do it yourself from scratch otherwise you luck yourself in to software and hardware and a few years later when some new aspect comes along and your vendor goes bankrupt you are fucked.

I replaced some security lights with separate pir and lamps and built a monitor so I can see if anyone is around outside on a webpage.
I built some motors for closing curtains and blinds and put switches by the door to open and close them. I wouldn't put them online or on an app because what's the point?

Leave your external doors the fuck alone. The only thing you could do its an electric strike but good luck getting one for a dead bolt, they are made for night latches. If you want to leave you're house on a night latch then you are an idiot. If you put a motor on a dead bolt so you can't open it with a key then you are also retarded.

>It won't add value to your house because people just use WiFi
If you put them in sensible places and break them out to modular jacks, they can be quickly and painlessly converted to telephone, HDMI, etc.

You need to put a lot of thought into catching everywhere a wallplate might be needed, though. Like being "nearly pregnant", there's no point in a house with modular jacks "nearly everywhere" you need one.

And it means putting them in the ceilings for APs, CCTV, smoke detectors, projectors etc.

Generally they retrofit so you can use Bluetooth *or* a key.
