>What is on your Christmas wishlist?
Small TIG/stick welder for practicing (I have a pretty big family plus my birthday is 10 days before christmas so I might get it as a "combined" gift, but I don't really expect to get it).

Some gift certificates for a working clothes store would be neat too, I'm gonna need quite a bit more when I'm out of trade school.

>What have you bought as a gift?
Nothing /diy/-related, more /ck/ stuff.

Raspberry pis and arduous for everyone!

Well, cement would work. But a thing to consider with using cement is that it's a brittle material.

If you were to say, drop the weight, there's a good chance that it might crack in half.
Obviously you can mitigate that issue by building around a rebar frame and using various fibers or additives in the mix.

Also, you really don't need a cement mixer or a respirator.
It's obviously not that great to breathe in but do consider that you'll be working with wet cement for basically the entire duration of the procedure and if you're really scared about it, just have a damp towel wrapped around your face before you add water and start mixing.

Yea and my home gym floor is stone so it'd be cool to make rubber bumper plates like in my pic

Is there some kind of rubber substance I can like pour into a plate shaped mold and air dry to harden?

>>910454
Perhaps this might be a good way of doing it?

Pour a cement weight then coat it in Urethane?

To top it all off, this is the plug. Is it European or something...because I have never even seen an adapter for an end like this

Go shill your shit somewhere else.

Though I was fortunate in that Craftsman probably foresaw people doing this, and decided to make the recess fit 1/4" MDF exactly.

You just need to glue on a piece of scrap to "cradle" the kerf on both ends. This will greatly improve the durability of the insert. Doesn't need to be perfect. You just need to know that the kerf will not completely penetrate either end of the support piece.

Easy to batch out from one long strip of MDF. Use scraps for the kerf support.

Though I had to take off the fence to put it on, the kerf makes it really easy to square the fence super accurately.. Just stick stuff in it then butt it up against a square.

>diabolical thing I can make with these BBs

pour them into his toilet, it will stay there forever

>>910086
I want to create something out of them, not just keep them singular.

get a good high-powered BB gun (CO2 powered). Get him drunk and get him to moon something. Fire a bunch into his ass cheeks when he's exposed.

You might get lucky with one that gets stuck under his ass skin, and will be with him for a while.

Forgot to mention that it has 1+ 1- and a ground output

DIY tips on how to run a religion or town would be welcome as well.

>>909909
Just take your silly fucking roleplay shit elsewhere, we're not interested.

You can try a bb gun magazine. It has a built in push valve. And an easy way of installing the co2 cartridge. You would only need a way to push on the valve to release the co2

>>909886
You don't know what you're doing or enough to do this safely. You'll get hurt or hurt others by pursuing this project.

C02 cartridges have a vapor pressure of 850 psi at 70 degrees. You'll need a regulator and high pressure connections.
You don't know enough.

>>909886
modify the chamber of a paintball gun?

>>909715You may find that the simple sawzall if a far better tool for your task...

Just sayin...

>>909715
My only concern would be refrigerant gas leaking into and being confined in a small space, I don't know how you'd safely vent it out of the area.

>>909715
Built-in, hows? I've never dealt with one before.

>>909526
anything is possible op
but improbable

if it fails due to heat then resistance will increase as it heats up then usually the film/wire catches fire and goes open circuit

if the failure mode is due to being dipped in hot solder for example then it could fail short circuit

>>909526
Dunno about a "real" short, but sometimes massive overvoltages can reduce the resistance several orders of magnitude.

Yep.

Source: twice in the last week (although to be fair it was the same fault on two identical boards).

Overheating seems to be a key element to it happening, green pcb had turned a nice caramel colour underneath.

None, that's retarded. Get a cheap mig and steel before you break your wrists.

>>909521
so basically make it out of metal instead or rip my wrists

>>909530
Yes

>>909456
I say try asking the closest trade school.

Welcome to the world of people who like to do industrial crap for a hobby. I'm lucky enough to live near a metal yard that caters to anyone who walks in. You pay a bit of a premium for small pieces (in the form of cutting fees), but not too bad.

Look around and see if you can find any such place near you. If not, yeah, you're kind of stuck asking people/businesses who themselves would be using it.

discountsteel. They'll sell you any length you want. They will charge you a cut fee and if you're not local, shipping which won't be cheap.

Nice, i would have gone with all curved coke bottles personally but thats just me.

Seriously dude, nice work, ive got a soft spot for fallout props so a nuka cola bottle is allways a winner in my book.

Plans for any more props?

>>909397
Very nice.

Just water and a light or did you add colouring?

So... you printed off labels, glued them to soda bottles, and shined light through them?
