Proper tools for the job, measure twice, cut once.

Blocks are an ass pain, it's a real work out. I eye balled the rough block layout to get my rebar holes drilled and almost fucked up by spacing my rebar to close to where the block sits. Had a half inch to spare but I just bent the rebar inward.

Mortar mixing is more art than science. Buy the big black tub at HomeDepot or Lowe's to set in your wheel barrow,I have a mixer but only work 3or 4hours a day on it so the wheel barrow method is more efficient. Play with the mortar before you mix it for serious. Not enough water and it balls up and won't stick, too much water is sloppy and squashes out. Buy some extra blocks and make something small, like a 4long 3block high wall. Helps you figure out how to butter the blocks,how much mortar, how to level, align, and straighten them. Mike Hadduck I think on YouTube is pretty good to watch before hand and get an idea.

A proper masonry die grinder wheel helps to cut half blocks.

I'll be finished with the blocks this weekend I think and my lumber gets delivered Monday.

I'll post some more pics tomorrow, I'm phone posting right now.

Overall the only tools you need are patience and dedication to do it right-ish.

Here's a scorpion from after I finished the other afternoon

The slab im building on was poured in 96 I think. 20x36 or so, I'm building on about 16x19 of it because the last third had a large crack from settling, the rest will become a large wrap around screened porch with a second story deck accessible from the bedroom

>>1046227
Looks good. Do you think it's sturdy enough to support a house? Lol

>>1046336
I'm curious to see if that existing already admittedly cracked slab will hold your house without further damage. How sure are you it'll hold? (No real concrete personal knowledge on this subject, *cough). Looking forward to updates

Building a stand to keep my 100-gallon turtle tub off the basement floor. Used a pallet to build it, and some bits of an old box-spring to beef it up a bit. Used a bunch of 3" deck screws for the actual fastening and some small nails for tacking. Next is sanding, staining, and shellac.

Not to mention that I have 16mm thick, 120cm long rebar as deep as my hilti can drill spaced 80cm apart around the whole shit.
It was cool when the concrete truck arrived with the huge behemoth of a pump truck with its 43m long hosethingie. It's stressing. Building. Get a GOOD professional to consult if you are doing like me, for the first time.
But still I love it (at least so far) it's a big DIY project!

pardon my ignorance, I honestly am not that familiar with building on rock.
So you drill into the rock and use construction adhesive to anchor the rebar? and then poured the foundation over that?

>>1046670
there are various products to use that are intended to anchor it. the best ones are multi component like pic related. you gotta drill a hole about 5mm thicker than the rebar. sometimes for smaller jobs we just drill a hole that is the same size as the rebar and just hammer it though

This belongs more to a cringe thred I think, but anyhow: first time tiling anything. I fucked up bad, about a thrid of the tiles have that void sound. The guy who lent me the saw told me to not use spacers (no idea why) so that got me, but what really fucked me up is that I tried to make everything slope towards the gutter.

Oh and the light is as bad as it looks, the shasi is shortened so it shocks you if you touch it (it belongs to a contractor whos working on the house)

That is the reason why we didn't want to blow up the rock. Or build it on leveled gravel. It merges with the rock.
>>1046670
Pretty much. But building the form for the concrete was exhausting. Approx 1600 pieces of 100mm planks. Plus they had to be anchored with 2by2s or 2by4s to the rock. Every one has its angle and length measured individually. And every height has been measured with a laser (I have borrowed one, can't buy as they cost like 3000€ for a quality one, but the thing is GREAT!) which adds up to something around 4000-5000 measurings alone!
And this is why

I have no idea wtf you did.

I did this with a pro like 6 months ago. He laid out the grout or whatever then put the tiles in it. He used small styrofoamish cross pieces that go at the corners of each tile. This kept the spacing even. They would go from each corner in for about a centimeter. He then left it to dry before coming back a day later to grout between the tiles. So it was sort of set before he started fucking around getting the grout between them. That way none of them moved.

Yours isnt bad for an off space but next time you can remember. The spacers really kept the job of making everything even.

I started this project during the winter but put it away for the summer. Now i'm getting back to finishing it.

It's a "salt" and "pepper" lo-fi mic set. The salt mic is a rochelle salt piezo mic and the pepper mic is going to be a carbon granule element mic. The salt one is done, and was easy, but the carbon one needs to run on phantom power so i need to build a circuit that'll work. Me and my EE friend think we have it figured out. I'm very excite.

Piezo/ceramic mics are classic radio and harmonica mics, and carbon mics are what was used in old telephones and very old radio broadcasts.

The prices I see quoted are around 5 dollars a square foot but they never specify what you are getting for that price. Are they going to prep the land, lay the rebar and pour or is that just the pour. What should I expect out of 5 dollars.

Really? Shit, time to read up on my local laws.
I thought i could do it on my own property if i wanted?

Excuse my ignorance m8s, im only 19.
I have a property given to me that already has a mobile home on it but it's old, shit, and uses lots of proprietary parts.
So i decided to avoid fixing it if i could.

I dont live there at the moment as i have my own flat as well down the road.
Literally only $50 a month for utilities.
That's because the flat was fucked up.
Walls, plumbing, electrical, roof, floors, and a window was shitted and had holes.
I put in $1000 of my own money to make it livable.
But it was easy since it uses regular home parts.

>>1055409
Also my flat is as big as a middle class homes garage so that makes it cheap as shit.
One main room I use as my bedroom plus living room, one small kitchen, and one tiny bathroom.
But it's enough for me and my woman.

I gotta live within my means man, im young and have a life of bills and payments that requires me to save.

So with this being said, I would like the house around the same size as my flat.
It shouldn't be too pricey for the building material right?

That looks like a stupidly inefficient way to heat a house. You dump a shitload of heat into a slab which promptly leaks it out below and around the perimeter of the slab.

Also what the fuck do you do if it leaks? Rip up carpet and smash a huge hole in the slab to find the leak?

I am not trying to get it 100% original - because 20 years ago it was also not original. I am just trying to get it in working order and pleasing to the eye. Of course I am not going to put some stupid modern stuff into it.
Back in the shitty soviet reign most car parts are interchangeable with other car parts.
"Zuk" has most parts same as it's older brother "Nysa" or passenger car with same chassis "FSO Warszawa.
Also most parts from other factories like GAZ M20 "Pobeda" or GAZ-21 "Volga".
It was and is better to manufacture interchangeable parts.
Engine itself is a modified and bit modernized(still heck of a old) copy of a Dodge D5 engine.

Next project I am thinking of is restoring GAZ-M20 Pobeda. But It'll be much longer project as I am thinking of restoring it almost 100% original.

OP of that image here,

There is heavily insulation below and around the perimeter of the slab; radiant heat is the cheapest way to heat a home

To protect against leaks (broken water lines) you place steel or heavy plastic tubes around the water line when it crosses the control joints.

>>1055702
How is heating water to heat pipes to heat concrete to heat carpet to heat air more efficient that just heating air with a ducted gas burner/heat pump or with convection radiators?

>>1055673
In 2 weeks I've finished the blocks and filed the cores with cement and jbolts. For 2 hours of work a day I think I'm doing alright. Some of us have day jobs

>>1055846
Heating the floor stores up the energy because you have a large thermal mass so if someone opens the door and all the hot air blows out the room there is a large reservoir to replenish the lost heat faster. It takes a while to start up however so you have to turn on your heating much earlier, sometimes constantly. This can be beneficial if you live somewhere that charges you much lower rate for using energy at night so they don't have to shut down reactors and shit, heat your house at night for pennies then the floor gives up it's heat into the room during the day.
Shite if you are out all day though because its kind of a waste isn't it? I guess if you live somewhere cold that needs heat all the time is a great idea.

>>1053320
Also, you should get rid of the "toe" board in the front. Put a diagonal piece in the other three sides if it is wobbly.

Put a nicer board in the front (under your shitty chip board) next time

>>1055846
http://www.bobvila.com/articles/radiant-floorvs-forced-air-heating/

tl;dr
It holds the heat longer if it's installed properly and heats the space more evenly. You lose all kinds of heat through ducting and the heater has to kick on and off constantly to hold the temperature of the room. The initial energy to heat a room to temperature might be greater, but maintaining that heat takes less energy over time. Areas with long cold periods will benefit most from this style.

Also, it's fucking comfy. My friend has radiant heat in New England and I can walk on his hardwood floor barefoot when it's -20 F outside and be comfortable. Even well insulated, carpeted floors in that weather will feel cold in a house with forced air/baseboard heat. Even if it wasn't cheaper in the long run, it's worth it for long winters.

This is one of the most efficient ways to heat a house. Rather than heating air which has a very low heat capacity per volume, you heat the materials of the house itself, which remain. much more constant and uniform in temperature.

Also, concrete is an insulator. When concrete gets hot, it stays hot for a long time - it doesn't "leak" it out.

>>1055307

Plans for your boat? More pic

Guys.

I just bought a house and I'm painting the living room and no matter what I do, everything looks blue. I feel like I'm going crazy.

It has dark hard wood floors and original a khaki/tan paint. All my greys and even whites (regardless of whether it was "cool" or "warm") had a blue tint to it.

I switched out my light bulbs and I'm in the process of painting over the entire room with Killz thinking I'm getting weird reflection or something.

Even Killz is blueish, though I only have half the room done so far and only one coat.

Am I having a stroke or something wtf is happening

I'm happy for you, anon! I've been working a similar, first time workbench myself in my spare time over the past few months. Still into the tool acquiring process, hence the long delays.

I'm currently at the point of figuring out the best method for drilling dog holes, without the use of a drill press since I don't have the space for one right now. I think I can probably get by with using a hand drill on low power, using forstner bits.

Anyway, do you plan on putting a lacquer on yours? Mines an outside, back porch bench so I definitely need the protection but it might be worth it for yours too even with a garage setup. That way you have the option to leave it outside in bad weather if your working a multi-day project. It's also good practice, if you've never used it before too.

Designing a desk to build, need a little advice though.

When putting the frame together and attaching the frame to the top part of the legs; will a simple butt joint be good enough? Cover the join surface with strong wood glue and then screw two screws through the end. Or would I be better off using something like a 'cam lock' to avoid drilling into end grain as much as possible?

There's a support I added that runs underneath the desk from the top, middle of one leg directly across to the other. I think it is essential to making the desk not topple if you lean/push on one side however, is it necessary? And if it is necessary, how will I join it to the legs seeing as the best place (I can find) for it to join is at the top, middle of the legs; a place where there'll be at least two other joints.

When attaching the 20mm tabletop to the frame is there any good way of going about it (that is preferably removal) without having screws showing on the tabletop? Glue would probably do the trick but it's not that removable.

Here's a picture that best shows most of the components, any help would be much appreciated.

End result with nice wooden flatbed will probably happen next year. I have no time to build it this year - autumn and winter are coming soon.
But I will get it working and riding in next few days.
Today:
Finished welding exhaust system. Bent and built new brake fluid lines. Fixed the fucked up clutch rods. Also tried to turn the engine with starter - smooth as fuck.

I am kind of sad I didn't take any pictures just before disassembly. It was in very bad condition.
Front end was crashed, rust inside rust, frame was infested with mice, old engine was full of questionable fluids.

Air will stay hotter than water, metal and stone. You contain it and keep it stationary it will stay hotter.

They do put it between window panes, because it is a good insulator.

Not who you replied to but while you may be correct in terms of physical properties you are neglecting the relative masses and densities of the materials involved. And no one insulates windows with just "air" typically it's argon.

I like it how "Westinghouse Areola" produces about 40 times more results than the correct name.
With some luck the tube is WD11. It is supposedly quite valuable, even as used. You might not want to power it up.

>>1055285
Get a professional to consult. Over here one needs a "master in charge", by law. This one can be someone who just signs the papers (they are responsible as long as the house is being Built, but not when it's finished) or someone who truly is in charge.
We have an experiences guy who we call or send whatsapp images to with questions. Well worth the money we pay him!
I am building my first (and hopefully last) house.

>>1055498
Oh, man. Maybe you live in a warm climate?
Over here the floor is insulated below the heating pipes.
With a warm floor you can have the room temperature lower as you adjust the temperature by your coldest part - > usually your feet.
There is no feeling of draft as the air isn't blown anywhere, and again you can have the room cooler but it feels as warm.
It's comfy as he'll, floor heating!

We heat our home with a wood stove right now (2-3 tonnes of bricks, so it's radiant heat) and the fucking heat rises to the ceiling and we still need to use woolen socks as the floor is cold as hell!
New house will have floor heating EVERYWHERE, it surely kicks ass.

>>1055498
And yes. If it leaks (which it won't as you should build properly not shit) you will need to either shut it off or find the leak. Hard work.
It might clog eventually. If you use steel somewhere in the system, which will leak rust in it.
And who uses something as disgusting as a carpet! Maaaaan that is just yuck....

>>1059059
yeah mang, the tube is a WD-11. i'm doing some research into the thing before i apply any sort of power. for now i'm just gonna do a clean and polish and get it looking like a museum piece. the tube is loose in the brass basse so might be shot, i'm not sure if tubes of this design should be fully vacuum sealed or just the inner quartz part... :S

>>1059529

That is actually a false Sill and section of siding that goes over the foundation wall. The basement actually extended under the old 3 season porch area. The top of the foundation wall is at the same level it is near the window box next to the driveway.

I tend to agree that they should be rotting out, but for some reason they have held up rather well. I think there is adequate drainage in front and behind. I didn't even replace them with this project. Just layer on the paint I guess.

Letting him go is a non-option. I raised him from a hatchling, so he'd die pretty fast... Not to mention the fact that he's a Coastal Plain Cooter, and he couldn't overwinter here in New England.

Not to mention aggression issues, etc. I'm thinking either a good-sized pleco (maybe two), or a small school of golden algae eaters, or maybe some Zebra Danios. With enough hidey-holes, and the fact that he sleeps at night, they should be able to make it.

looks real nice! what did you do to the old exterior wall and windows that are now inside the new room? did you take it all down and open it all up or is the now enclosed porch still kind of a separate front room? I see this a lot in the older homes in my neighbor hood. usually the enclosed front porch is still a separate room with the old front door now replaced with a set of french doors or something. often I see christmas trees set up in the new space 'round christmas season.

I'm curious about how heated floors work

Is the water wasted or is it fed back into the boiler system?
Are you going to encase all the tubes in concrete or just lay a floor over the top to make it maintainable?
Is the area underneath the tubes insulated at all, or will heat leak into the ground?

>>1056405
Howdy neighbor!

>>1062151
Insulation under the floor. Then you lay the tubes over the insulation, around the area where you put your rebar. Pour concrete and profit. The concrete itself gets warm and you can lower the room temperature by a few degrees C and save some bucks. Also it's comfy as he'll.
The water circulates in the system. We are building a system with probably 3-5m^3 and heat it by burning selected bits from our forest. Cheap and nice.

>>1055409
And another anon! Forgot to tell where you are? Ignorance points to American, right?

>>1062165
I just realised the maintenance question was a bit stupid, it doesn't matter if your tube springs a leak if it's encased in concrete!

Badass anon. I also have an led fetish. Pic related. Lol.

>>1062150
U know much about the super high power leds? Like these 100 watt? Considering lighting up my 4x4 with diy led and weilding gods yellow sun at cunts with high beams on. Water coolibg seams easy enough. Will source an old intercooler or bike radiator or a few heater cores depending on how it goes. Just looking to get a better feel for them from people that know their shit before i blow fat stacks of cash trolling strangers.

I remember this, you needed the holes to be drilled in those mics cleanly but had to come here for help on how to do so. I'm impressed that you actually finished it up though, good job man.

>>1062247
yep! the holes came-out a little ratty (drill press with normal drill bit, stainless steel, was tricky). but they're just prototypes. I like 'em!

Yeah found they sell those in Poland and in Russia but they are too expensive for a truck what is going to see offroad in woods anyway.
Tho got myself another steering box matching internals from GAZ-M20 Pobeda - the bearings are in good condition and I put new grease inside of it - looks like new. Didnt make any pics of it tho.

Pic related, fucked up bearing was nr. 6 and 9 on picture.

Yeah, it can always be worse I suppose. At least the horses weren't in it.

I'm planning on another metal building, one more in a traditional barn shape, but I'm having the anchors put in by a pro/friend to get me out of permit dramas. I'm also moving it to a dryer spot in the paddock.

I'm going to attempt salvaging as many parts as I can for a new tractor shed. Insurance is being really stingy all of a sudden (and going back on what they originally said they would do), so I'm going to have to be as thrifty as possible.

That's me, wife was taking pictures for proof of the tree removal, so I shamelessly flexed for this one.

Building an RC nitro plane

I didn't mean to, I meant to just make some repairs to an old plane that was knocking around

but then it all got out of hand

I'm reusing the wing and the tail surfaces though

p.s. I've neither built nor flown a nitro plane before I fully expect this build to last exactly as long as my first test flight, wish me luck lads

And to be relevant to the thread, just finished my workbench the other day.
Gathering material for a leg vise.

>>1065692
It might be a good idea to cover the top side with some kind of thicker rubber and to nail it into wood. Its gonna give you far more friction when doing shit on it, plus you won't chip away the wood.

>>1065702
Well the top is only MDF so i don't mind damaging it.
I don't really need more friction, just something i can mount clamps to easily.
Was thinking of something like pic related

Btw, first time I've heard someone recommending rubber as a surface material

Picture would help

>>1065710
I agree that it's uncommon. My brother who is a professional car mechanic has a table in his garage about the same size as yours, just a bid wider because he has more hardware. That's where I first saw the rubber, and it's embedded with L-shape profile aluminium batten (I think thats the word in english?) around the edges. It's pretty hard so you can't press it in or something, like I said, the only reason is that friction is very high, he said that he did it because he was sick of having screws and other tiny shit rolling off the old table he had.

>>1065715
I admit it sounds handy.
But honestly, for my purposes I think it would be overkill, not to mention expensive.
Might use the idea for something smaller though.
Cheers

Little paring knife I made a few weeks ago as a test-piece and prototype
90mm blade made out of 3mm O1 tool steel hardened to roughly 58-60HRC with a full flat grind and micro-bevel, bolsters are 304 stainless I carved up and polished nicely and pinned with 4mm SS pins as well. Timber is an Ebony on the top, bottom is a thin layer of Tiger Myrtle and faced with some stabilised eucalypt burl and covered in 4 layers of good quality clearcoat. Just for a bit of bling and hearkening back to the 'Saex style' of the blade, did a 0.5mm brass wire inlay through the timber and steel of the bolsters.

Been using it in the kitchen daily for about the last 3 weeks, hasn't had any malfunctions and the blade is getting a really pretty patina to it.
Its scary sharp and tends to stay that way so I'm quite happy with how it works, though for a run of them I'm probably thinking of getting the HRC to about 60-62

Damn fellas, never thought I'd be blessed by Kek while turned into a meme, thanks?

I've been busy building another firewood rack for all the wood I'm splitting. Broke my maul yesterday (Truper brand from Lowes, lasted almost exactly 5 years), and I've been running through blades for both of my saws at a faster rate than I'd like.

It needs to dry up to so I can get to the meat and potatoes of it, with Mathew coming soon I think it'll be a while though.

>>1046227
This looks amazing actually. Dat framing is awesome. What kind of anchors did you use under the foundation to attach it to the stone, just drilled holes with rebar stuck in them? My only real concern is rust expansion on the rebars cracking it years down the road. Are you going to facade the outer parts of the concrete foundation? Like with local stone?

>>1046968
>Any tips wpuld be kindly welcome since Ill be tiling the hallway/mudroom soon(ish)

Spacing between each tile for proper grouting and better alignment. Obviously, not yet installed, but some cover plates for the holes around the pipes to hide those sections.

Watch a few youtube vids on laying tile and take notes.

yeah man. live and learn i guess. i worked for a fucking idiot contractor that wouldn't let me use them even if i bought them. then stand over my shoulder all day and have me adjust them. a good friend of mine happened to start a tile biz in a big city and i got laid off, so i worked for free for him for 5 months and launched his company to da moon. 10 years later he has a dozen employees. a few months ago i told him this and he spit beer allllll fucking over his new leather sectional and white carpet. His wife wants to kill me. still.

good luck. youtube will take you a long way. once u finally get it then its not bad.

highly suggest quality like 200 dollar kneepads that hinge in the middle.

i know this is the worst place to suggest kneepads. but none or a 20 dollar pair will do nothing but suck ass.
