I get a weird feeling that we'll see this thread on a CNN segment one day.

>>2044731
that's radium not tritium :/

OP is a glownigger .. hope you're behind seven proxies

I looked into it once before and the components and decay chain are fairly simple. I think you just need lithium metal and americium but you also need to bombard it with a lot of protons which isn’t easy to do legally so your best bet is to just buy it in small tubes from eBay and shit.

Those shells are basically what I wanted to end as. All I wanted to do was start from the ground and build up to that point. I Don't care about the inside, I just wanted to make a shell that has a few new designs and buttons.

>>2044651
so your goal is a proof of concept and not a functional device? In that case, why not go to /3/ and learn some 3D modeling, and do a render?

>>2044660
Ok, that makes sense. At least I might have a better chance at making it.

>>2044665
the other good thing is that if you ever wanted to make it into a reality, then being able to 3D model might help you to modify or wholly create a basis for which you could either 3D print or order custom a shell that would fit the needs.

>>2044614
If you already have one:
>Take birds eye view picture with ruler in frame.
>upload picture into CAD and measure size of 1 cm on the ruler.
>Scale image until 1cm on ruler matches 1 cm cad measurement.
>Trace the gaming device.

All big box fixtures are basically identical quality. Kohler (and the others) make nicer products, but you'd get those from plumbing supply stores.

>>2044595
>Are any brands know for being taller?
tall toilets are for old people and fatties who have trouble standing up. the shorter the toilet, the better squat position you have. here in 'murrica you will notice that 90% of toilets are all the tall 16.5 inch height, rather than standard 15 inch.

Just installed three of these bad boys.

>>2044633

people kept shitting in the test toilets

>>2044594
oh shit sorry i meant torque pro.

its all about the right modem and app.

>>2044597
Torque Pro can code modules?

>>2044606

it can scan specific modules with plug-ins

I feel bad for op being too much of a dumb cunt to use Google. His mom an dad must be related.

>>2044695
newfag bumping thread while calling op dumb.

I've seen some stainless ones in homebrew shops for kegs (co2) for like 5 bucks...might work?

>>2044542
I think this is probably the way to go. Thanks.

>>2044522
The amount of lead that would leach out of the fitting is absolutely negligible.

>>2044522
Try mcmaster carr

>>2044522
"The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) has reduced the maximum allowable lead content -- that is, content that is considered "lead-free" -- to be a weighted average of 0.25 percent calculated across the wetted surfaces of pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fixtures and 0.2 percent for solder and flux." - EPA website

Its basically nothing anon dont a be sissy.

thermal mass: a substance's ability to absorb/emit heat without raising/lowering in temperature itself. AKA, how easily it can be heated up, or or how long it can give off heat before cooling to the ambient temperature.

insulation: a substance's ability to prevent or inhibit the flow of heat between a temperature gradient

Low thermal mass; low insulation would be something like a metal mesh. It can be heated up very easily and does fuck all to stop temperature changes.

Low thermal mass, high insulation would be something like fiberglass.

High thermal mass low insulation would be something like water.

>>2044506
Thermal mass holds heat. Insulation keeps the heat in.

Put a rock in the fire - it warms up. You take the rock out - it cools down. It will cool down slower if you insulate it. It will cool down a lot faster if that rock was made out of air.

>>2044513
Thanks guys!

>>2044454
It wont hold enough oil. I have only done It like 3 time since i bought it so I'm probably 3 months low. It says just a couple drops but after trying to get to 90 times it is over full. I'm sure if I hooked the compressor up now it would blow oil out

>>2044638
OP here. Times* and I mean a few drops 90 times because 3 months is roughly 90 times if you do it daily.

Not on public holidays

>>2044477
Could ya report my dry cock to your mom? She needs to get her stinky vag over here an grease me up. Thanks bro go tip your fedora elsewhere faggot

Been using the same air tools for probably 8 or 10 years now, I've never oiled them once and they're still working fine.

>>2044531
>>2044499
No, the leads you idiots

>>2044532
>No, the leads you idiots

>>2044448
Whatever the shitty insulation between those tiny wires would hold. Small wires can deal with plenty of voltage, the issue is keeping the voltage away from the ground and super high voltage can jump some big gaps.

If you were trying to measure current through the leads instead of the clamp, that’s a different story.

>>2044532
did u see a label on dem wires?

>>2044448
It's clearly a MOUSE.

white pine or birch

cool, i used to do some woodworking as a kid with my knife and file. they really are cheap as fuck, prolly start with one one of those.
communist made manual metal lathes from the 1960s cost like one paycheck and i have the space for it.

>>2044661
Get a mill b4 a lathe

>>2044674
get a lathemill before a mill

>>2044405
Over at /wwg/ they're always praising "Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking" but I've never been able to find a copy for a reasonable price, and can only find book 2 of 3 pirated. Anyone have a hookup?

>>2044674
A lathe is easier to pick up and cheaper to buy

>>2044389
You are going to want to burnish the holes you make. Look on youtube on how to burnish and get a wood slicker and some gum tragacanth. I honestly don't think (don't 100% know either) it will fray, unless you are putting monster amounts of weight on it, but it will probably stretch which will lead to tearing. You could try reinforcing the holes with metal grommet. If you do that you probably wont need to burnish the holes. Good luck, anon.

>>2044389
Get two bolt on tie down loops used on trailers. Two bolts and nuts appropriately sized. Four fender washers. Drill or punch holes in the leather. Insert bolts from inside. May need small pads to cover the bolt heads unless you use button head allen screws.

>>2044389
Something like so with fender washers.

>>2044675
generally we resell the tires that are usuable still, but to avoid liabilities we let lots of "usable" but not done for tires go. you could try it but I can't guarantee they'd mount them for you or anything. possible they would though, I'm sure if other shops work differently, we just don't wanna send someone off with a tire that might explode on them 300 miles down the line. we do sometimes let people take some of the tires we'd throw out though.

>this many posts
>nobody suggested tire swing yet
make a tire swing. in your yard, at a local park, or at your local cliff jumping rope swing place

maybe make a tire swing so far out in the middle of the woods that if anyone ever finds it they think "who the fuck carried a tire this far out here to make a tire swing in such a random place"

Roll them down hills

>>2044382
I made a camp fire out of used tires once and the fire department was circling my neighborhood looking for the entrance to my property lmao.

At witch point I decided we should put some water on the humongous black tire fire before we get in trouble and the water only made the flames bigger lmao

>>2044687
that's because a tire swing is too obvious dude

>>2044304
Where did you move to? What do you weld? How much money do you want to make? The advice will depend on a lot of things.

Get a job like a man. Walk in to the office and try to talk to someone. Ask to talk to someone about a job.

OK boomer

>>2044490
You're right. Who is the TRADES would want a traditional, dependable employee. If only there were more zoomer faggots who could apply online and show up in skinny jeans and horn rimmed glasses!

-Install fixtures like towel rail, hand towel ring, TP holder (should be easy right?)
-Replace shower curtain with glass door or partition
-Do... something to the window? Like I see bathroom windows with a few parallel panes of frosted glass, what’s the purpose and should I do it?
-Toilet is perfectly fine so I’ll probably keep it. Shelving next to it will go once the vanity’s in and all my stuff can go in there - might get some smaller shelves, but gotta make space for the TP holder first
-I think this might be wishful thinking, but I would absolutely love a curbless shower. how do I know if the room’s suitable for one, and how much harder is it than doing a regular shower? my understanding is you just gotta get the floor on a slight grade so the water drains one way, but I’m sure there’s more to it than that...

So, like, any advice lads? where do I start? my mate said that you can find decent tile pretty cheaply on gumtree (like aussie craigslist kinda), any other tips for doing this on the cheap?

Google it you little bitch. Your obviously new to posting on 4chan also. We don't like people like you who makes everyone else spoon feed their dumb ass. Maybe if you faggy zoomers didn't spend so much time talking shit about your parents and tried to learn anything whatsoever you wouldn't have the IQ of a bag of doorknobs.

>>2044264
And why is the lamp working anyway with 12ac? Shouldn't it turn on and off at 50hz?

>>2044267
What I feared. Any idea where I can buy something that I can hide inside the base of the lamp?

>>2044272
Incandescent bulbs take a small amount of time to stop glowing when the voltage reaches 0, and by the time it starts to cool down the polarity has reversed and it’s getting 220VAC again. And this repeats 50 times a second meaning our eyes see a steady glow even though the voltage is 220 to 0 in both directions.

>>2044275
Understood.

Pic related is the bulb I want to use instead of the incandescent one.
My only question is why is it working (with the only major drawback that its very very hot)?

>>2044281
That LED is designed to work on both AC and DC. It has a build in rectifier to convert ac to dc. Temperature doesn’t matter too much so if it works, job done.

>>2044288
I figured it out as I read the specs, i feel like an idiot.
Last question, I'll buy you a beer: If i switch the coil with a 12v dc transformator, do I get the same light without the heat? Or it will be exactly the same?

>>2044551
no fag lord, he spent multiple days crafting this masterwork.

>>2044191
I rmeber your first thread brother

God Bless You, Mallet Man! May success be the end of all your future endeavors!

can you make a mallord duck though?

>Is it possible to improve the antenna of an AM/FM radio by replacing the telescopic antenna with different type of antenna?
Yes. Make sure you have the correct antenna length and it is grounded.

>>2044189

>FM
>around 100 MHz
>3 meter wavelenght

so you need a 10ft antenna

>>2044242
No kidding. I have a spare one of this antenna and I am planning to connect it to my radio.

>>2044256
unless you know exactly where the radio transmitter is for the station you're looking for, that kind of antenna is going to nuke any and all reception you can get

>>2044277
>>2044256
not to leave you in the dark, that's a Yagi-Uda antenna which are designed to be very directional in nature.

>>2044171
I do t get it

>>2044171
because mexicans and pajeets are not known for being sanitary creatures.
also re sound proofing, you kind of need to do that prior to drywalling. (either via sound proofing insulation like roxul safe'n sound, or special sound proof drywall)
I guess an alternative might be acoustic panels, but i'm not sure how well those work relative to the cost.

sound proofing is a bit of misnomer, sound damping and sound isolation are good choices

removing hard surfaces for the sound to echo against should limit transmission including in walls and between floors
absorption is a good way to describe it in laymans terms large masses will help with the lower frequencies like a truck engine
- second hand knowledge from Lowes

Google it cunt learn something

Also curious about this. Specifically ways to limit sound traveling through duct work.
