Can /diy/ tip me some methods to destroy a fair amount of letter-papers without having a paper grinder ?
Any lawnmower or something ? Letting it under autumn rain ?

>>895061
Burning is obviously the easiest. If you have a good fan over your oven you could throw them in there on self-clean.

>>895061
Burning it ? It'll probably be annoying depending where you live but we ain't in summer anymore.

People in my area burn fallen leaves in late Autumn. Pretty sure it shouldn't be a problem

>have to buy one time use cracker bases for prints
Seems expensive.

>>895666
The crackers add up but I find you don't go through nearly as many as you'd expect.

when designing for 3d print are filet edges welcome or it is better to avoid them or use chamfer?

Id move it to a clean demijohn at tjis point and let it go through secondry fermentation. Long fermentation times are completely normal, so don't worry the longer it takes the better it will be in the end.

Also after its all bottled I recommendletting it mature for as long as you can stave off drinking it for, mead is fantastic matured.

I'm trying to brew my own mead too, cheap equipment as I'm keeping it real yo (It's my first try and wasn't sure what to buy)

Fourth day and I see almost nothing, not much bubbling, and just a disperse little bit of foam on the surface, how long does it take for the fermentation to be noticeable?

Honey and yeast?

Find the serial number of your machine and google that. Hopefully you can find a service manual or something.

Pretty sure I see it, but I need a good overhead shot of the rear (face that's currently showing) of the front plate. Flip the back plate in the pic for me as well.

To be clear, I mean a clear shot of the part on the left, and the other side of the part in the blue circle. All I need is to see where the spring and the round end of the coin detect lever sits, we'll be in business from that point.

The little bit of metal is springy and is tack welded to the frame of the thing.

Nothing on the other side.

Make a safe out of a Book. Easy, cute and you can place some candies and a letter.

Make her a boyfriend who pays enough attention to her to know what she is into, so should he choose to, he can make her a gift off the cuff without needing to ask a board full of strangers what his girlfriend (who none of the strangers know) would like.

>>906790
I was more just after ideas that are things to make. I would of course choose what i think she would like. But because i dont usually diy much was just looking for ideas.

Sorry, but that's totally a fan. You can hear the oscilations as it rotates. Probably just old/bad bearings from the sound of it.

Most bearing hubs are sealed and best fix is just to replace the unit.

Also know this: PSU's aren't serviceable, it's just a plug in replacement. So get a new power supply and get over it. Want a shock of a lifetime? open up a power supply and fuck with it.
So do yourself a favor, get the wattage rating for his unit and go buy a duplicate or 100 watts more. End of thread.

>>906772
> PSU's aren't serviceable

Just because you let your fear define your actions doesn't mean we all do. Of course they're fucking serviceable.

If I were you, I would take my measurements and the formulas in video into the calculation and draw all the pieces on a spreaded pattern paper (maybe newspapers) on the floor, then without trying to scaling the small model I would sew it with pin needles/basting at first. Because overall the model is simple and what would give elegancy is the precise measurements and ironing.

>>906648
The problem is even the measurements don't make sense. Let's take the 2nd and third ones with measurements on an action figure I got (practice making a small one out of scrap fabric before I blow money on the full-sized one going in blind)

A is 3.5cm (11cm waist - 1cm side flaps x4, answer is 7 divided by 2). That's fair enough.

F is A (3.5cm) - 1cm pleats x4 ... -.5cm divided by 2... my answer is negative? How the fuck does that work? Am I being hyper-retarded in basic math here or is there something messed up?

A D, width of hips (11+2 for flaps) divided by 2. 6.5cm - 1cm pleats x4 = 2.5 divided by 2... 1.75cm for the panels? I get that it's larger than negative but what gives?

I can't make heads or tails of how these bloody measurements work on the example she gives. Am I just being denser than nuclear-bunker-tier Lead?

>>906538
I didn't watch the video. Just looked at the pattern printout images.
Take your waist measurement, multiply by 3. = x

Print out second page at 100% size (i.e. no scaling).
Compare waist measurement to length of the printed out waist band (y).

x:y = scaling factor.
Print out both pages again, scaled up to necessary size, tape pages together, cut out, sew.

So for example if your waist is 90cm and the printed out waistband is 20cm:
90*3=270

270:20=13,5
Print out at 13,5 times the size, or 1350%

This is a picture of the actual studio. I had the idea to buy an entertainment system, and sat it up in a way to where it seems like a wall, with the bed on the other side, somewhat out of site. Then on the other side of the entertainment system, have a futon and coffee table.

Just any tips/ideas on how to make less, more.

It might help us if you showed whats connected to what, and why your locality requires a water tank.

That looks like a booster pump to boost water pressure independent of city or well pressure.

>>905523
Pretty much the brass pipe is the only thing thats connected and one of the pvc pipes is a run off or overflow drain or something which flows through a sump pump. Theres a pvc pipe off the house which runs into the concrete which I'm assuming is the other pipe? But honestly I don't know.
The brass pipe connects to the house and apparently the plumber said that the taps will spit and spat cause air will be caught in them. So is my water now just running through the tank?

Do you have geothermal heating? I can't think why the PVC goes underground and isn't connected to the bottom to be gravity fed, suggesting they're either return or supply that are pump driven.

Well you could rig a jet aircraft engine to vibrate at precisely the necessary frequency to sound out a recording of someone shouting Allahu Akbar.

Of course it would be more effective to actually make thousands of small bombs at that point.

/rust/ general

fucking charm bracelet broken watch shit

My surge had some surface rust on it however with a quick clean it was back to normal, it is stainless

Best bet would be to fill with epoxy, but you will have to clean the filler out. For a really good repair, fill with epoxy, then add a new board over the top. If you dont fill with epoxy first, it will leave a weak spot and you will go thru the new top board. Epoxy is the way to go, you are right, wood filler will mush the first rain.

>>904194
Alright, thanks for the help

>>904194
If I wanted to add more wood to the top, I would have to cut out the bad wood first right? How would I do that?

>>903554
..that's a water inlet anon.

The fact you even need to ask whether you should be disconnecting power (and the fact you think the water inlet is a power socket) before commencing work would suggest that you should stay well the fuck away and call someone who intuitively knows the answer to that question.

Yeai goofed, right image now.

Top wire is wash(brown and blue)

>>902456

basically the same technology as radiant floor heating... some systems use hot water and plastic tubing, some use electrical heater wire
only problem I see is with the extreme cold of the snow on the concrete, chances are the plastic tubing will burst if the system is ever off and filled with water when it snows. the cold will make the water expand when it freezes. so unless you plan to run this 24/7 during the winter, or have a failsafe in case the pump fails or the electricity goes out, it probably isnt a cost effective option. now, if you embed electrical heating wire into the concrete at least you dont have the problem of possible broken tubing spewing water under the driveway foundation.. but your electric bill will be horrific to run an electrical heater for the whole driveway for the entire winter 24/7

sometimes nothing beats a good ole shovel, or a snow blower....

>>902460
Weeelllll, Since it is a closed loop, I was going to use either a methanol/water mix like in geothermal, or just plain 50/50 antifreeze and water so I wouldn't have the freezing problem. I'm leaning more towards the methanol/water mix becuas of better heat transfer.

To add to this, I highly doubt it'd actually properly melt existing snow.
Say it falls over night and you're dealing with a meter of snow.
You ain' gonna melt shit. Atleast not in a respectable amount of time. I'd imagine you'd need to run it 24/7 to melt down snow and ice as it starts to form on the ground.

I would consider a snow blower like the Anon suggested.
I'm considering buying one myself since the ATV has trouble pushing heavy snow.
