I don't like half the people who's content/music/etc I enjoy and still enjoy it.

Most actors/directors have awful beliefs and opinions and as long as the movie's good that's fine. My doctor is super super right wing, that doesn't matter when he's taking my blood pressure. Plenty of online content creators have weird fringe opinions and as long as they don't bring it up every video it's okay.

I don't have the time or energy to be the dogma police.

>>2624249
>that doesn't matter when he's taking my blood pressure.
Its going to matter when you have actual health issues and need actual advice.

>>2624249
Ditto this but add that 'content creators' are not as irreplaceable as a doctor or a musician. You can't go five feet without running into someone trying to make it in some niche Youtube community these days. You can probably find someone else who isn't a kook making something close to what they are if you're willing to dig a little bit.

It's probably not a big deal if you don't care about their politics but if it's actively making you uncomfortable to watch them it's not a big deal to drop them either. Just don't be sanctimonious about it either way.

>>2624252

>fluxcore
Isn’t that the worst welding technique?

>>2624226
I will pray for you

>>2624231 it is if you have no idea how to weld

>>2624231
No, stick welding is by far the worst welding technique for exhaust. By a large margin

>>2624231
Flux core is ugly, and the wire costs more than solid core wire.
So relative to standard MIG, its sucky and nobody likes it.
The problem is, nobody is actually comparing it to Stick, because nobody fucking uses stick. Its dudes who have high end MIG machines running gas calling it shit.
They are also calling Stick garbage too.

Fluxcore is actually cleaner and prettier (marginally) than stick is.

This is largely why I bought into makita, plus japs make good stuff. But the arguements for Milwaukee are strong, like the other talking about a grease gun

>>2624261
>This is largely why I bought into makita
Makita is still publicly traded, so you didnt even accomplish anything.
They just slap Makita name on their high end, middle, and low end, their export tools and domestic only line of tools while still being beholden to stockholders.

I am a serious DIYer i went with Milwaukee mainly because of their impacts. I bought a 1/2" and 3.8" fuel and use them all the time. And once you invest in something with batteries you want your tools to all be able to use the same battery pack. I slowly accumulated my tools by needing them to perform various jobs. My Sawzall probably sees the most work followed by the 1/2" impact.

>>2624264
Fair point, luckily I only bought into them today and will be returning what I bought anyway.

>>2624144
No, it shouldn't trip the breaker. If you have a GFCI on the circuit you discharge to then it might trip. Even if it does, just reset it. If your wiring is properly grounded you'll be fine.

You do know that instead of a plug you could've attached an alligator clip to the end and clamped it onto anything metal that's grounded right?

not an expert on burger units but isn't psi pound-force and not pounds?
you're correct that the pressure from the weight from your object would increase by a factor of 100 but hydrostatic pressure is only dependent on the height. just think of it as a one square inch tube that goes from bottom to the top. it has a weight and exerts a force on that one square inch.
but i'm not going to do hydrostatic calculations in burger units, i don't hate myself that much yet

>I'm trying to design something to use just the weight of water and gravity to increase water pressure, without electricity or anything, so if there's any ways to do that, please tell me
here, what do i win? but you're not going to get any flow rate out of this. not sure what you're trying to achieve and depending you're going to violate the first law

>>2624151
oh wait i suppose you could drain the upper reservoir once it's in its lowest position, raise the piston with a spring, refill whatever you want pressurised, and fill the reservoir again to repeat the process, but honestly i'd just get a pump

>>2624051
Just put a lid on it and attach an air compressor to it. Then you can pressurize it to whatever you like without needing four more years of engineering school.

>>2624168
....or just get a pump

>>2624047
You're going to have a hell of a time using that on stainless steel. I would've probaby used a cutting torch to open the holes up since drilling is gonna be a bitch too.

>>2624047
You are going to hate life if you have very many holes to do. Return it and get a step-drill if they go up to 1.375, otherwise get a hole saw

>>2624047
>stainless steel drums
What thickness are we talking? That sounds miserable. Do you care about the edges that a hole saw would leave?

I've posted this before, but make sure there is no residual flammable material in the drum when you drill the hole, especially if it is closed head. People blow out their eardrums or worse all the time when a tiny bit of gasoline or solvent is left over in the drum and they drill into it and make a spark.

Sorry, I don't know about your choice of tool, just don't want to see someone go deaf over this.

>>2624047
I would have got a nice hole saw, or look for a used mag drill+cheap annular cutter.

If the drums are thin a holesaw would have done fine.

you seem sure
obviously so much smarter than the all legit mexicans who could smelt it themselves
so what's the point of this thread?

This. Gonna have to get nonlinear with your search, and probably learn what would otherwise be a bunch of unnecessary things on the way.

I don't really care about helping you but;

>so i can continue to dig under my neighbor's house

I'm intrigued by this

>>2624012
>so i can continue to dig under my neighbor's house.
You know what? I don't want to know.

I'd just buy the manual. A quick google search popped up a couple sites selling the manual for $60 or less. Once you have it, scan it and upload/torrent it to spite them.

Don't pay for digital manuals. It's a Mexican scam. Only buy copies from eBay

>>2623945
is putting metal plate below metal im drilling(given its bit thin) stabilize the drill? or im being stupid? cant find specific answers exactly on youtube, but g2g for basics

>>2623937
>is metal bits on magnet big deal
If you're using the only kind of magdrill I know of which is essentially a little drill press on a big magnetic brick, yes cleaning that shit is important. If you have chips and dirt on the contact points you risk the drill moving and you're fucked.
Do it right, like all processes the setup is important.

>>2623937
>also i take bit longer than other people, do i use bit of force
Forgot to mention it is fine to use some muscle as long as you're wetting that shit with rapidtap like you're about to go balls deep

>>2623969
thats what i assumed thanks. also i gotta use pin thats not too big for blade right? like just couple millimeters longer

>>2623955
Yes, metal is what the magnet holds on to.

Weird. What kind of car? All the new stuff uses urethane adhesive. Any reason you can't use that?

Two hoses: one for water, the other for the air

>>2623906
You pump out the air. The water will replace it.

>>2623906
>How
Practically speaking?
Fit the hose to the vessel as normal.
Feed a thinner hose through the real hose.
Rotate the barrel so that the outlet is highest.
Feed water into the barrel through the narrower hose by pushing it.
Or drawing the air out of the larger, thereby sucking in water through the narrower.

>>2623906
Use an air vent with a check valve.

>>2623906
You need a spot for the air to go, ideally on top of the liquid you're dispensing. If it's airtight the whole way through, you'll need two hoses; no other way about it. Pic related will keep pressure equilibrated while gravity dispenses the liquid. If it's flammable or reactive I recommend a nitrogen or argon sweep, as well as grounding all containers.
Also, this is a stupid question/questions that don't deserve their own thread kinda post. Post more ladybots now.

Blackout curtains truly work and mine are great. The angle your windows are at is really fucky but a way around it may be getting a second bar to hold the bottom. It is not ideal but may be your best option.

>>2623897
looking at the picture, that room is clearly not above the trees.

>>2623892
Two way mirror foil, and one of these on the inside.

cut out some light filter like they use in filter? maybe beige colored.

Not sure if it matters, but it's floor skirting I'm doing. Will be a combination of nails and glue.

Never used them but honestly cutting trim with a chop saw is so easy I can't really see the point for a one-off job. Now if you're a construction company churning out cucksheds by the hundreds, then it starts to make a lot of sense. Faster and less chance for Pedro to fuck it up

>>2623850
Fair point, I thought they might look nicer than my first attempt at skirting.

I don't suppose you have any insight as to why a lot of the tutorials use super glue+activator on their joints instead of wood glue? I know wood glue is slower drying, but would the super glue joins break the second your Mrs aggressively vacuums the house?

Fucking nigger, your mom gave you everything to start a life and now you’re throwing it away and asking for more. At least be man enough to ask her if it’s okay to bring partners over.

>>2623780
I'm looking into to finishing the space above her garage and turn it into an apartment instead of paying rent to a landlord when I go back to school. She wants her own life and I want my own, I just don't know what the ball park material cost would be if I did the labor. My brother is a mechanical and machine learning engineer so I have some one with brains to help me plan it if its in the realm of possible .

>>2623761
>attic
>>2623761
>the space above her garage
That's a very vague description. How big is it? Is it damp-proof? Is it insulated? Does it have a power supply?

>>2623791
I'm drunk so I can't remember the square footage but it is un insulated, the garage is set on its on circuit for welding and what not ant the space was intended to be converted to room years ago and framed that way from the beginning

you dont need to get into the fancy plaster plugs details, all you need is the mix, thick enough container so it wont burn thru, and top plugged with gypsum with small hole (otherwise it burns too fast and not a lot of smoke)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v1fMDXVM0Q

Recipe is:
Parafin wax = 40 parts
KNO3 = 50 parts
sugar = 32 parts
Dont forget to grind the nitrate and sugar to fine powder.

I've got a set of ryobi tools and they're fine for a swinging dick that needs to cut some boards or whatever once every few months. As >>2623637 said I've noticed that the battery capacity is kinda weak but for your average homeowner they're all you need.

>>2623622

The rest of their products are suspect to bad which I don't understand when Rigid and Milwaukee are capable brands all under TTI.

So, what is the consensus? Is a cheap MIG welder better option than a cheap stick welder?

>>2623601
>What could I do with a cheap stick welder?
Stick it up your ass and weld your sphincter shut.

>>2623610
How the fuck do we know if you can craft anything? I'm gonna guess "no" based on the level of autism you're displaying.

>>2623615
If you're so poor why'd you buy a welder at all?

Practice welding shit together. Gather up a bunch of old nuts and bolts and weld them into little sculptures that you could sell. Start a business doing welding repairs for people. You can make money fixing small shit that regular shops don't want to bother with.

The possibilities are endless anon.
