/diy/ - Do-It-Yourself

Ok fuck u is nobody going to rate this

>>1371383
10/10 but... isn't there a board for this?

>>1371380
With no research or knowledge on the subject at all, I'd say without a doubt that yes, someone has created their own gas powered pellet gun somewhere.

Are you asking us how to make one? Because if you are, then that would be against the rules. So you better not be.

>>1371380
Yes it's been done many. Many. Times.
They almost never look "milsim" or realistic though. Most aren't gbb either.

Just look up "airsoft Spud gun" and go through some potato gun forums where people have made literal thousands of these.

>>1371437
It's a toy, why would it be considered a weapon? Just because it looks scary and flings something?

>>1371440
>Just because it looks scary and flings something?
Absolutely.

>>1371445
>Cuck detected

These are literally toys kids use to play in their back yard or at fields. The fact that he specified "airsoft" meant that he intends to use it safely against other people.

Now if he said bb gun or pellet gun you'd have an actual argument by saying he could use it to hunt animals are harm humans.

>>1371398
A pack of expoxy is $3.75 compared to a pack of super glue $2.95.

Also why not just use regular acrylic? You can get 1x1 scraps of the stuff for a couple bucks anywhere that sells acrylic. And if you gitgud at that (which by your pic, you're pretty good at it), you might be able to sell them to make some profit. Just make sure they don't have an edge on them at all if you don't want to get in trouble for selling kiddies knives.

>>1371409
Thanks dude, will take in consideration

>>1371422
So where is acrylic sold?? I buy all my stuff in a chinese Bazaar! I a convenience store? Take ito consideration that I’m an Eurofag too.

Hey, the edges on the things I make are mock edges, they can’t cut shit. As I said, it’s only for looks
Thank you for your advice though.
(Here, have another sample)

>>1371424
It would be impossible for me to tell you exactly where to go to buy scrap acrylic, but just look around for places that will cut acrylic for you. Any place that offers a service like that will have a huge bin of scraps that are unusable for their machines, but are the perfect size for doing what you do. And they would be happy to sell you some.

>>1371379
Oi, you got a loicense for that attack knife m8?

>>1371331
He wants to count them automatically so he can save time on counting them manually, not take more time making a fucking tally chart.

Cut 20 pieces then weigh on scale
Lets pretend they weigh 1 lb.
Cut tons of pieces and they weigh 6 lbs.
120 pieces.

>>1371291
there is no way anything you do will be easier or more accurate than just counting. how many can you possibly be cutting at a time anyway?

A vague example but it could be refined to the nuts

How about something like this?
metal sheets go into a bin, this actuates a spoke that turns an analogue dial like this

>>1371282
Check its voltage. A lot of those strips series all the leds so you need 120v rms to light them. Not a problem if you have a small inverter.

>>1371282
They make dedicated underglow lights for ricers and fast and the furious addicts.

>>1371231

Nothing there is anything special. My bog-standard personal setup is just a 280ft^3 bottle with a cheapo eBay regulator/flowmeter combo. For inert gasses, the hose doesn't matter as long as it'll handle the ~60PSI the regulator outputs. Regular compressed air hose (use a new hose just to be sure it's clean) will work fine. Mine's a length of fiber-reinforced vinyl tubing just because that's what I had handy at the time.

Tl;dr: Buy something like this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Argon-CO2-Mig-Tig-Flow-Meter-Regulator-Welding-Weld-Regulator-Gauge-Gas-Welder/262677301998?hash=item3d28c98aee:g:GhEAAOSwWxNYqpzn

Buy your bottle. Use whatever pressure-rated hose you've got available. You didn't specify what you're connecting it to, but, in any case, this will get you a metered gas flow at the end of a hose.

That flowmeter kinda sucks, though. It's obvious from its response to the valve being opened/close than it's not terribly linear, and, therefore, probably not terribly accurate.

>>1371227
I know it isn't exactly DIY but gas blowback glock clones are very close in weight and you can find one pretty cheap and modify it to have an auto resetting trigger so you get a weighted clone with controls you can use for dry firing drills.

I'd suggest you look into 3d printing one and putting in weights but since it's a gun I doubt they'd be happy letting you use a public printer for it. Other than that you're just going to have to go off blueprints and do your best with your tools.

>>1371274
oops and by gas blowback, I mean airsoft. The gas blowback versions of guns tend to have the closest weight distribution to the real thing when they have a magazine inserted.

>>1371227
Go to a sporting goods store and pic up an air soft replica colt. If I pulled this shit out in public, surely I'd be shot. It was only like $40

>>1371227
Mate just go but a squirtgun at the Dollar General and spraypaint it whatever color.

jfc.

Then don't?

>>1371236
I've used sandblasting and it's really only good for getting rid of coatings and rust. I donf think they have something soft enough to just get the dirt and grime off of a rifle without taking the blueing off as well.

>>1371234
Also I wouldn't recommend cleaning gun parts any way other than manually or with an ultrasonic cleaner. You don't want to wear down the internals.

It might be okay to clean bolts and such using a rolling type polisher with physical media and liquid, but I wouldn't do it on anything that is torqued to spec because it would likely affect the tolerances on the teeth.

>>1371242
Yeah I agree don't touch guns with sandblasting. Soak them and use ultrasonic if you need to and just a manual brush + solvent/oil for cleaning.

>>1371220

I seriously doubt you could get any sort of useful cavitation out of this. You'd be better off with a pump to keep fluid circulating around the parts to be cleaned, same as a normal wash tank.

>>1371242
>I donf think they have something soft enough to just get the dirt and grime off of a rifle without taking the blueing off as well.

Blasters are media-agnostic. You could load one up with shredded sponge if you wanted to. I don't think blasting would be a practical alternative to cleaning a gun the usual way, but I'd imagine a plastic media, dry ice, and maybe walnut shells would be relatively safe on the finish.

>>1371242
>I donf think they have something soft enough to just get the dirt and grime off of a rifle without taking the blueing off as well.
soda or walnut shells maybe? idk

OP here. I'm really just trying to think of a simple project i can do before i graduate and lose access to the entirety of the ag shop at my school. I want to build something I'm going to use until I give it to my kids. (18 btw. Been here since I was 14~ and decided I liked guns.) If I dont find something interesting I'll just build a workbench but I've done it before. Any ideas?

>>1371210
Fuck off faggot

>>1371212
he's right, you know

>>1371229
Or you could just stop bumping this and answer the fucking question and let it 404 in a day

This already exists in generals on other boards. Go to /a/ or /jp/. This thread does not belong on this board.

Al right, thank you

>>1371122
There’s a few ways to make them.

The way that would probably be the easiest is the get two strips of aluminum foil and a strip of carbon foam.
As the carbon foam gets squished between the foil it will conduct more.

So you get high resistance at no flex, and low-ish resistance at high flex.

>>1371123
>>1371125
they were probably better sensors

OP see if you cant buy directly from China, i just found some on aliexpress for 12.00 but shipping was only 2.95

>>1371128
Thansks, I'll try it.

>>1371134
I'm from brazil, it would take 1 week for the sensor enter in the country and then, if I'm lucky enough, in 4 months I would have it in my hands. Also, I make 45USD/m, this is my last option.

>>1371137
As in $45/month? Jesus Christ just start sucking dick or something. Also what're you needing them for?

>>1371128
If that's how it is, it sounds like you could replace carbon foam with literally any slightly resistive powder

This is your answer, if you dont know what the difference between
>base boards, trim, casing, molding, cope, wanescote, crown.
or how to install them it may not be a good fit. If they are willing to train you on some of the finer/tricky parts you will have a marketable skill for life. It sounds like you already know a tape measure from you penis so they may be into taking you on
this is a very true statement

>>1371129
>When its shit, its shit, when its good nobody notices.
Oh not true. I bought a house partially because I appreciated the craft of the guy who built it (the previous owner, deceased). He knew what the hell he was doing, damn solid in every way. His finish work was top notch.

>>1371048
No, that's chairs. Like Swedish ones, except kind of sulky.

>>1371129
Ok cool, I have some experience doing cabinetry as well as I've had to install quite a few kitchens. Wish me luck.

>>1370973
Take less shitty pics

>>1371108
This plus give your general location. Local building practices vary a lot.

>>1370975
That on the right looks a bit like a pilot burner but lets get some clearer pics.

>>1370973
gas lamp. Hard Inverted mantle style
Those rings are what's left of the ceramic base when the mantle gives up.
This is probably what they are.
American Mantle Company Inc 7998680

I had one but rewired it for AC long ago. The gas pipe was out of code and quite buggered up.

>>1370954
Get some cutlers rivets, they're probably the easiest along with corby bolts.
In terms of finish, teak oil, linseed or actually mineral oil (food safe) and a good buffing with carnauba + bee's wax

>>1371181

super glue finish trumps all other finishes i’ve tried. absolutely blown away. hard as shit, super easy to clean, and shiny as fuck.

highly highly recommend, google it

you do something like 5-10 coats sanding in between

i’m on coat 3 of one handle and looking fan fucking tastic

>>1371312
Depends on the 'look' you want for the handles, couple of heavy duty knives for kitchen work I'll sometimes do cyno coats, others want a more traditional finish with oil and wax.
Lot of people don't like glossy either, on something like a resto of old knives I'd lean to oil myself, but that's just my opinion.

>>1371160
>I'll go with something harder.
Cedar is relatively soft and not hugely resistant to moisture. You can use it with some G10 liners underneath the timber and between the steel helps a bit. But for the most part the hard as a wedding dick acacia, ironwoods, tropical timbers and stuff like that are generally the way to go.

>>1371035
>vegetable oil
Surely you mean vegetable oils that polymerizes. Like olive and linseed. Oils that don't do that go rancid, notably sunflower.

>>1370954
the amount of work will depend on what power tools you have....a table saw and a belt sander will significantly cut down on the work

you should be able to get small strips of cherry/oak/walnut/maple at any major home improvement chain, as long as you have a power saw, slicing off thin pieces is not very difficult....if not, you can order them online

(I don't see the hubaloo over exotic woods, make it out of whatever looks good to you)

while you're there, get some 1/4" brass rod and epoxy if you don't have it....this is if you plan on making the handles permanent, which is a good idea....the other option is to use chicago screws, which can be ordered online or bought at a place that sells leather supplies

the finish will depend on your preferences and amount of effort you want to put in; mineral oil and beeswax is very easy and fast for a matte surface, but not that durable....Tru-Oil produces a nice glossy result and is durable, but it takes multiple coats and time to cure

top one is maple from a tree that had to be cut down, other two are mahogany

>1.5h of battery life. I was expecting >4
You used >4 amp hour cells?
What was the battery configuration? If it is just 3s1p or whatever it is for only one bank of cells the youre not going to get super high capacities using cheap cells

>>1371079
3s2p Sanyo 2.9Ah cells genuine

UPDATE:
after the second charge diagnostics of the battery capacity increased from 37% to 45%. After charging it to 100% again, I'm at 1h40min and 30% battery remaining.

It seems the electronics are cautious and increase max charge incrementally. Only 1 question remains. Will it allow it to charge over 100% (of the original battery pack capacity) because I have new cells with 10% more capacity. Either way it's a win. Will report back later if anyone is interested.

>>1371332
I read that on some batteries you need to solder new battery on while old was still connected.

>>1371336
I've read that that applies only to certain laptop brands. But it kills the battery pack completely, not just degrading it.

>>1370909
>If you're lucky, it is just a fuse.
if not, it's one of those expensive ass monolithic hybrid ic amplifiers bolted to those heatsinks

>>1370959
I think i saw a site with some scans of it. Will do.

>>1370852

honestly if you dont know how to test components, how to solder, dont have the proper tools and test instruments, you are just wasting your time. toss that shit back into the trash where it belongs

1 - When u try to turn on, the green led turn on (or another light)?

If no, test the Power cable, Fuse, Power Button.
** use a multimeter, to se if the power reach on that itens!

If yes, se if the audio input change something on "power indicator"... if yes but with no sound, probably is the output. Could be AMP, Fuse, or resistor or a track broken.

But no, need to see the input, if had some broken cable or corrode the input.

If u know how, install a Raspberry and put a large SD and make a stereo system that u can put music or listen music from internet. Aiwa is a good system
