/diy/ - Do-It-Yourself

So, I have the guitar of the link and picture. It costs around $120 new and I bought it used for $40. I'm not from the US and the price of repairing it pretty much put me two-thirds of just buying a new one. I'm back to playing the guitar and the one I have need some repairs and maybe some rewiring to have a tone that don't suck balls all the time.

1. Apparently the bridge saddles needs adjustment and I have no idea where to start.

2. At least 2 frets on the first string just fret and don't play the note I want, and I want to ajust that and don't know how. It might have something to do with bridge saddles, though

3. How the fuck can these people fuck that much up on pickups that the tone feel like a discarded boot sole with noise? Isn't a guitar pickup just a copper coil around some magnets? Can't I just find some neodymium magnets and tactically place them somewhere in the pickups and the tone would get better quality instantly?

4. Maybe finding better components for the potenciometers and better cables might help, what should I be looking for?

Thanks.

PVC bros what are you working on? I’m currently building a duplex chemical metering system.

Are these good to drag IKEA shit outside 20 min away from your home?

Mods are asleep, post your she sheds.

So my toilet keeps getting blocked up and I decided to take a bit of a look.

I have a feeling the trap way is either corroding away or clogging up the toilet. Somebody explain this?

Riddle
I cannot progress on what I wrote

I need to see them unfold before my eyes

The chaos and panic induced by the words of a stranger

The feeling of uneasiness of being watched when making your every move

I want to feel the fear,sensation and adrenaline awaken

Is it possible to make a quadruped with 8 servos instead of 12?

How can I make my own body paints?

wedge or threaded, what do you think.

I need suggestions on a super cheap spartan/industrial/minimalist house. I am searching for a house in specific area in the Southeast US. I can only seem to find disgusting remodeled trailers or overpriced excessive mcmansions, but undeveloped land is cheap and plentiful. Humidity, flash floods, and tornadoes are the only hazards to the structure. I don’t want to pay for things I don’t need and a barebones house that I could finish myself later after paying off the mortgage would be ideal.

Need:
-1 bed+bath, guest bath, 1 office/guest bed, kitchen, laundry closet, storage/gym (can be separate), garage (can be separate).
-HVAC (can be ductless)
-Minimal insulation (southeast)
-Easy maintenance (e.g. exposed plumbing, exposed electrical, concrete floors)
-Livable and could pass inspection
-Tornado, humidity, and flood resistance (no large windows, bare metal, low particle board)
Don’t Need:
-Carpet/flooring
-Fixed cabinets (just need a sink and a stove/range, could be portable)
-Cosmetics (molding, shutters, paint, etc.)
-Hidden utilities
Considered:
-Trailer: Not allowed per zoning, narrow rooms, dangerous in storms, deteriorates quickly.
-Prefab: Not much better than a trailer, having trouble finding dealers. Still paying for cosmetics.
-Kit House: I have the time, stamina, and intelligence, but many kits aren’t much cheaper than traditional building, especially after considering my own labor. Lots of kits have more glass than walls. Still paying for cosmetics.
-Shipping containers: Limited width, worried about rust. Are they really cheaper?
-New construction: I would like plain cinderblock (pic related). Would a builder even consider constructing something like this for cheap? Would a lender finance a first-time home buyer doing this?

Hi /diy/, been a lurker for a while but first time posting.
I would like to make small hollow sillicone cubes but I dont know what tech I should use. Cubes could be about 30x30x30mm, but size doesnt matter much.
Any ideas for what I need to look into?

How do you organize all your tools, spare parts, random other stuff, etc? I have way too much stuff but I can't stop bringing home more and more. It's literally up to the ceiling at this point

Can one of you kind gentlemen please give me a rundown on machine screws?
Identifying the head is easy enough but how do you identity the thread?
If I have an unknown screw or an object with a missing screw how do I know what screw type to order?

I assume perhaps the easiest way is to have a selection known of screws you can compare the screw to / try to fit in the hole, but what screws should I acquire for this purpose? Are there only a handful of different thread types that are used in commercial products?

Im painting concrete angels and stuff that I make, but the sealer I use isnt working the best, leaving blotches and discoloration on my paint jobs after the weather turns cold at night, or we get a rain. Is there a spray on sealer that would leave my paint finish perfect? What am I doing wrong

Guys, I got a strange question for all of you today. Have anyone of you ever tried to make a tactical/hunting vest for your dog? There's lots of them in chinese online shops but I really want to make one myself. Feel free to correct me if I'm posting on the wrong board, folks.

So temperatures are starting to lower and soon enough Im gonna start having issues showering comfortably. I live in a relatively warm country, it doesn't snow at all and the gas doesnt actually freeze, just mostly turns liquid at night/morning which is enough to cause heating issues(last year I was forced to always shower in the afternoon but I would rather not fuck up my routine like that again). Do you have any cheap diy ideas on how to minimize this problem, like how to insulate a gas bottle sitting outside or something else as long as its easy and doesn't require electricity?

I know the ideal solution would be switching to propane but Im poor and propane its expensive as fuck. Not only that, it would require replacing my shitty gas heater entirely(not just switching the regulator) which is another major cost.

Hello /diy/mans. Ive gotten interested in rubber stamp cutting/carving recently. Does anyone here have experience with such things? If so I'd be really thankful for some tips or general advice. Ive also gotten a couple questions regarding gear. I can make the cutting tools myself easily, my problem is the rubber itself. All posts i find online seem to be with some "speedball" material that i don't really want to order, does anyone know a substitute that looks as legit? Thanks bros.

Okay so I have phimosis. They sell kits to help stretch but they're expensive. Is there a /diy/ alternative I could make? Having to stretch every morning by hand is bothersome.
