acetone (which is what's usually in nail polish remover) should dissolve superglue, but it will also dissolve many plastics. If it didn't dissolve you might have polish remover that has low or no acetone content.

no, they are bonded into one plastic

Just an idea: Try rubbing alcohol.

Cheap you seals. Have someone come and do some kind of pressure test, I forget what its called. It will tell you if your house has air leaking in. Find where the leaks are and seal that shit up.

>cleaning more often
This gives us no frame of reference. My 11 year old nephew I take care of started cleaning his bedroom more frequently this year. He cleaned it once, up from zero.

Vacuum carpets at least once a week with a hepa filtered vacuum.

Vacuum and launder soft durfaces once a week. Couch, linens, drapes, etc.

Hard surfaces should be wiped down 2-3 times a week.

It will take a month or two to see an improvement. It also doesnt hurt to open the windows on cool fall days to get clean air going through.

Beyond that, plants, plants,plants!

Plants are excellent air purifiers. You should have about 1 plant for every 100 square feet in your home. You want easy to care for plants. Spider, snake, ivies, philodendrons, pothos, aloe vera, palms and ferns are all excellent choices.

The first and best bennefit to indoor plants is humidity balancing. They put moisture into air during dry spells and even reduce humidity when it gets too high. They remove VOCs and ozone from the air along with other gasses, and they turn co2 into nice refreshing o2.

My pride and joy is a 20 year old philodendron I clipped from its mother plant at a chinese restaurant when I was 14. Theres about 30 vines that wrap around my living room and drape down between the hooks. They all originate from my 500 gallon fish tank.

Aside from the obvious "google it you kek", I've been liking Fusion 360 so far.

>>901912
Well the obvious would be a very stupid thing indeed. Google's bubble searches are designed around common searches, most people aren't trying to host milling equipment in their house and those that run a full scale business are likely buying whatever a high end manufacture recommends. So 3 days of hunting articles off a search for hobbyist levels results in fuck all of a definitive answer for beginners.

So I've been trying Autodesk Design, FreeCAD, and Sketchup, but without the backing of someone already in the know, its hard to know if you'll be balls deep invested in a program that turns out to be useless because it lacks a decent way to go between formats, or gcode, or just plain isn't a good one to use or learn with no basis of comparison.

I'll take a look at Fusion 360 though.

are you building or buying a CNC router?

At work, we also have DeWalts, although not the 20v.

I need to get a some to use here at the house and I'm thinking about going with Porter Cable. They seem to be just as good, but half the price as the DeWalts.

We use the Rigid 18v impact drill at my job
And i have one at home.

Impact drills are the wave of the future, duders.

>>901166
Just checked Amazon, Porter Cable sets are indeed half the cost. I may check those out... have you used their stuff before?

It would increase pressure but not as efficiently as selecting a way higher rpm radial fan. Cascading fans works okay with radial fans but is not the most efficient means to increase pressure. Without knowing the fan specs it would be hard to give any figures as to pressure gain.

Fans like that don't compress air to any reasonable extent. This is why strapping a big electric fan to the intake of your car does absolutely nothing, but attaching a supercharger or turbocharger that has an impeller rotating at several tens of thousands of rpm does.

Lets say we talk about the 2W version of http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/35128.pdf
>>900633
I am aware of that. I'm more thinking of the ability to push the air trough a smaler channel instead of actual compression.

Can you show how it looks with a "real" image instead of just a test grid pattern? This looks like it could be a really fun thing to mount on a wall and have like a picture you can turn on and off.

lathe
find one with a pitchable headstock and you could do pottery on it too?

>>899976

Is there anything she'd need in addition to that, or does it cover a lot of projects?

It seems expensive so I want to make sure it'll be suited for her

>>899979
>It seems expensive

lathes are not expensive anon
women are expensive

a lathe will not do pottery
you need cutting tools for it depending what you want to do with it. they are noisy and messy but you can make round things like table legs and chess pieces on it.

if she is starting out woodworking and you want something cheaper get her an oilstone

Super dry leaves and kerosene will make gigantic flames.

Hey OP, is using real fire necessary?

I mean if its just for a video where the fire will not be the main focus and more like a background, couldn't you use mock fire? Like with pieces of fabric and fans.

Pic related. Because when you are using real fire in an environment with loads of fuel.. You're just asking for trouble

You need to cover the zone with something that sucks the oil, like talcum powder or flour. and let it sit for a while, then wash it up again

>>899442

Yeah I was thinking about something like that. I'll try thanks. Wash it again with dishwasher soap? As of right now the carpet doesn't smell of oil at all, it's just greasy.

The professional way to solve this is using a wet/dry vacuum, since I suppose you haven't one, try with iI said, some powder that can suck up the oil, scrub a little with a brush,, then vacuum it and repeat till the carpet is practically oil free or dry enough. After that you can go then and scrub with water and soap (any kind, better low foam soap), let it dry and you should be good to go, if it's still greasy, repeat the process, is a tedious shit. Next time usea a plastic bag to put in the oil bottle...

You'll have to create a full scale template. Cardboard should work. Will be a lot of cut and fit. Use template to mark board, keeping an eye on level.

>>899139

>Cardboard

Thats so stupid easy that I'm ashamed i didn't think of that. I'll get to work now.

You're not even using pressure treated wood? Won't last a year.

>>896252
what did you cut the metal with? those deep grooves at the bevel is bad

also the bevel is too shallow, go deeper to get a proper edge angle

>>896255
Angle grinder. They actually are not that deep, the photos makes them appear deeper. The bevel extends 1/4 inch into the blade, and the final edge was make using a fixed knife hone

i would widen the grind, add pins for the handle, maybe add a bolster, and work on the blade finish. otherwise bretty good first go

So this is how it connects to the winch, and the other end should attach to a 12volt battery. That's the end I need converted to a plug I could plug into a 120v DC wall socket

Can someone recommend me a product to help me do this? Is it even possible to do safely?

This end goes onto the battery

You need to find how much current it pulls at 12v.

I was able to salvage a lot of wood from the original bench, plus what I left from a few months back when I redid my roof with my Dad.

So I compiled the wood. I had the countertop for 5 years. I placed it on cinder blocks back in college as a desk. The desks school gave me were shit with no leg room. So I bought that counter top and put it on blocks. But this time I reused it for a workbench.

I framed this bitch out this time. Honestly, the original build was such garbage. Over the last 18 months with my Dad helping me build shit, I have learned a ton, that and also youtube videos.

My Dad is awesome at construction, but always did things himself and never really wanted help. But now that us kids are older, he is more than happy to help, and I am more than happy to learn.

Here is the frame for the bottom of the bench. before it was sagging in the middle. So I wanted to alleviate that.

My basement floor is not level, so I had to build off of my counter top as if that was constructed to be level.

I grew up in South East Michigan my entire life. My parents took off to the Upper Pennisula in 2011 after the economy shit the bed. When they took off I was away at college and they got rid of most things. One of the things they gave away was the saw that is pictured. They gave it to a family friend.

A few months ago, that family friend moved to Florida. Knowing that I had bought a house, he called me asking if I wanted the saw back. So it was a cool turn of events to get something back from my parents.

he also gave me a Uhaul of furniture since he bought a new house house furnished in Florida. It helped me out a ton. Im still humbled.

here is the saw. You can tell it is old. This was built in a time where safety was not considered. I had to take off the hood to cut. This saw is scary, but is amazing.

Next weekend I am going to build this its own rolling bench so I can maneuver it in my basement depending on size of lumber.

Don't listen to this anon unless you want to get sick.

Your best bet would be to replace the activated charcoal granules inside with - you guessed it - more activated charcoal granules. If you don't have activated charcoal available to you, you can try powdered regular-charcoal, it's just not going to last as long.
