Advice on hanging long gutters?
If its too long to hold just one end then hold it in the middle.
The end with the pipe needs to be lower than the other end

>>1248981
Make/buy something like a crown moulding clip to Hang up the far ends

get two fat washers and a rope you fucking moron. Fuck.

Drill holes, insert pins. Or make the drum out of disks which have the pins in correct places to begin with.

Be warned. We have had quite a few of these "I want to make a musical box" threads, but I don't remember seeing anyone actually succeed.

There are paper driven ones.

Does it have to be small? If not, check out the Wintergatan videos of the last year or so.

So I actually looked into this a while back and there's a couple of things you can do.

>some guy casted a cylinder and put pins into it I don't exactly remember the details but google could clear that up

>some companies allow you to order a custom movement but they're expensive as opposed to the pre-made songs

The hardest part is absolutely the cylinder. There are plenty of variations and in some cases a flat disc instead of the cylinder has been used. I wish you the best and if you figure out anything then we'll both be happy as I never figured it out.

>>1248875
paper driven is quite shit u gotta wind the entire time and dont really get to enjoy it

Thanks, I appreciate the help!

hose it down with 99% proof rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will displace the water then evaporate.

Fuck you dumbshit nigger faggot gay.

By chip reflowing being a legit technique he meant with a hot air reflow station which costs a couple thousand dollars. You can't do it in an oven because everything on your phone would fall off/melt if you got it hot enough.

Watch louis rossman or rossman repair group on YouTube.

>>1248964
hot air guns are down to sub 100
thanks based chinks

>>1248971
That doesn't hold a bga chip in place and set it down on the right row of pads.

That doesn't reball the chip.

No

>>1248802
You need to lease. The company will exchange the tanks and pressure test them for safety. That is something only they can do and do safely.

Be careful when buying used ones. They can be death traps or "stolen". Stolen as in they were under lease, the person using it died or something, and someone sold it into the yard sale circuit or whatever. Like a milk crate or shopping cart, it is still owned by the company. This becomes a problem when you take it in to get it refilled and a hydrostatic test done. They run the numbers on it and check the last date of the hydrostatic test. Normally, you just get a new tank and they take the old one when you are leasing.

If the place you take it to can't do a hydrostatic test, they won't refill your tank if the last hydrostatic test date written on the tank is too long ago.

I found out all this later when I got a second hand tank. It is worthless now, but I'm going to cut the bottom off and turn it into a giant bell.

>>1248841
Most airgas supply's will just exchange you tank without charging you because your old tank is out of date.
I've been welding for over 20 years, I've never been charged a test fee for a personal tank.

If you buy a tank, it needs to be a "blank".
Do not buy one that has a company name embossed on the collar/neck of the bottle.
I also suggest getting an 80 cubic foot bottle- its the smallest that has a screw on cap, much safer for transporting.
Like other anon said, craigslist is a great place to find them.
Do not lease.

>>1248802
Depends on where you live...

pay a deposit and do exchange tanks

Zipcode? That or just locate you nearest airgas and/or praxair shop and talk to them about your intened usage. The ripoff wont be any worse than plywood and gasoline during hurricane season. Keep it safe man.

>>1248784
>I don't care about brand
You should. Energy density, quality control, advertised vs. actual capacity... I wouldn't trust the StartFire brands.
Go with a Panasonic/Sanyo/Samsung cell. They're cheap enough now it's not worth going with the chinese shit.

Buy them from a reputable source, not ebay. Lots of counterfeits in the business.

>>1248792
>NCR18650B is a good value
Agreed.

There's a trick to give a battery enough charge to be detected by a charger. Take another similar battery that is charged and put the positive ends together and then connect the negative sides with something like aluminum foil or a wire. Hold for 5 to 10 seconds and then try it in charger again.

Don't bullshit me about how dangerous that is, just google it

18650's have fuses in the cap that often blow for no good reason. If you apply a voltage to the cell and it doesn't store any of the charge that's what's wrong. You can cut the cap open and solder a new fuse (tiny wire like 22ga or smaller) in or just bypass it.

go to a vape shop, they should have a good selection of high quality 18650s

>>1248844
BUT THE CHINESE ONES ARE 10000MAH!!!!!!! =O Panasonic/Sanyo/Samsung a shit with puny weak 2600mah.

U keep replying so i know at least one person cared

I make a lot of different videos check them out tell me what you think

I think thats against /diy/ rules

>The service is for yuppies who think their time is actually worth something during their off hours.
I make over six figures and my time is actually pretty valuable thanks.

>>1248769
>over six figures
Well, how many then? Seven figures? Ten? And if your time is so valuable, why are you wasting it here?

>>1248769
are you trying to say you make over 100,000? because if you make over six figures you would be making at least seven figures you retard.

>>1248742

I actually worked as one of their service guys for a while when I was between jobs.

It was mind-boggling what people would pay for simple shit.

A yuppie couple paid me $85 to install 2 of those smart smoke detectors. I got $110 to install a garbage disposal another time. My very first gig was $75 to install an electronic lock and doorknob.

Most of the people were just completely out of touch rich fucks, but there were one or two clients that were just people who didn't want to risk fucking things up themselves I guess.

>>1248761
More like the reality of American laziness

>>1248717
You should also rape the PO.

Hold the the gun the opposite way as pepe and then pull the trigger

>>1248789
Why not get good tools so you can have a good AR instead of having a piece of trash that will jam every second shot because the trigger group is riding on burrs and your magazine is held in place by friction alone, but so much friction and so unevenly that it warps all over the place?

Why not just buy a gun instead of a meme lower, or build a gun from scratch instead of using a meme lower?

meme lowers aren't even DIY, you literally just cut some shit off and there you go; then you finish it with all off-the-shelf parts anyway.

Either build a gun or don't. No half measures.

>>1248798
Probably because it's not that hard to get right?

Whats goin on here?

OH nodes. Id da mang

Grab a shit load of pallets ( toxic ones ) and a router to tounge and groove them . Cheap farm style walls that won't rot so bad.

Offcuts of weatherboard for siding and plastic corrugate roofing.

>>1248575

If you're not worried too much about looks you could use plastic bottles as shingles.

You could spray paint them black or brown or something

>>1248716
pretty sure green is bad if he plans on having plants in there ever. Plants reflect green and absorb red and blue light.

>>1248716
I live in a civilised country where bottles are recycled.

>>1248545
It's big, very complicated, and expensive.
If you're a beginner, maybe try something more modest.

>>1248545
Machinist fag here, 90% of what you'll look up in that book unless you're doing some really oddball shit is just cutting speeds of different materials to give you an idea of RPM and feedrate. It's not just machining info, there's all sorts of random shit in the book. Literally any version from the last 30 years will do you just fine unless you absolutely need numbers for the latest and greatest boutique alloys or coatings. (Which you can google anyway)

I looked for a long ass time hoping to find an old one at garage sales/goodwill/thrift stores and never did find one. I didnt want to spend almost as much as new for one from the 70s on ebay either.. So I ended up buying the 27th edition (as it was new when I bought it)
The PDF of the 30th edition doesnt seem all that much different.

Os this what folk use for 3D printing before slicing?

>>1248721
Correct. You can use any 3D modeling software.

>>1248750
Guess i get me a copy then.

Have bought a cheap 3d printer recently, which is fun.

Might as well print my own dildos i guess.

>>1248772
>Might as well print my own dildos i guess.

>>1248750
what printer you use, if I may ask?
amd what would you need for 1-piece stuff that size?

maybe you should solve the humidity and dampness issue first? the attic should have some sort of venting to remove the heat to prevent the humidity.... I suggest asking your landlord to look into this issue.

>>1248617
This.

If it's humid and damp it is going to cause the owner a problem eventually so unless he/she is a Jew then they should want to protect their investment, needs a whirlybird vent or something.

Another thought, you can put a heavy duty garbage bag around it and suck out the air with a vacuum?

>>1248624

or just use SPACE BAGS that were designed for this very thing without all the ghetto trashbags

>>1248963
>>1248966
since your boyfriend is a retard let's break down the main parts of the machine, we have a hopper for the dough, we have a deepfryer, and a conveyor belt.

Buy a fucking deepfryer, cut slits in it, grab a shitty electric motor, slap a sproket on it, then a chain / metal belt, and either fill the fryer with dough by hand or just get another fucking motor with a oval shaped sprocket that hits a leaver at timed intervals to release the dough.

Boom done. Fuck off.

>>1248974
You forgot the paddle wheel to flip them...

>>1248963
Not that much, it would be only for my family and we're not particularly obese :P
With the automation I was thinking about it making a few Donuts once I get out of bed (and press a button) - Thats the easy part though :)

The idea with the deepfrier combined with motors is good, what kind of motors would I need for that? Ill also look up how I should make the conveyor

>>1248988
Building one is easy compared to how hard it will be to make it actually work consistently, which is why even the one you can straight up buy has a lot of issues.

Don't expect the first one you make to be any good. If you're really talented at engineering your third or fourth prototype might be be acceptable.

What you need to start out with though, is making them by hand to see exactly what's required before you start designing the machine that will do it automatically.

Also, you'll probably also want to buy the conveyer belt system as a unit. If you try to make one yourself you'll want to kill yourself.

>>1248988
Stop dreaming... so you are going to permanently have an open trough of oil sitting in your kitchen.

>press a button

Right but who exactly is going to get at up 5 am and make the dough?

What drops out are hot plain donuts. Someone will have to fill or top them...

Stupid idea, really.

You are a cook now. Stay flexible, carpenter.

But seriously, you have a transporter. Buy sofas or tables off from ebay or craigslist, clean properly and resell WITH SHIPPING/DELIVERY in the meantime if you have some space at home.

Also, get your TAX shit sorted ASAP. Thats what fucked me in Germany after a few years. The audit broke my back, now i have 60k € in debt and slave wage to pay it off.

Good luck m8, don't forget, it's doable.

>>1248638

>Wages are stagnant
>Prices are going up
>Too many hacks and mexicans
>Companies would rather hire cheap

Not an authoritarian by any means in fact I swing liberaterian but Jesus fucking Christ the government needs to regulate Carpenters just like they do Electricians and Plumbers.

The Mexican situation doesn't help. I have met some Bueno Carpenteros and then I have met guys I want to strangle. Regardless of this they take the money and wire it back home.

Reagan fucked the trades.

>i don't know what to charge

/biz/ might be able to offer more detailed advice, but the simple answer is "What it costs you, plus a margin"

"What is costs you" is the hardest part. You need to include your gross hourly rate (what you pay yourself, before any personal income tax etc.) and your overheads (running costs for the van, fuel, insurance, any business costs E.g. accountant, bank etc.), cost of tools (they have to pay for themselves; you'll need to replace them eventually) & consumables (blades & cutting discs!), incidental costs.

Overheads are hard; you need to work out your monthly total, and then divide that by the number of hours you expect to work, to get your hourly total. Consumables & tool costs might be per. job: large, complex jobs with thick hard to cut tiles might be hell on your tools, for example.

Then you add margin: that's your profit. You can normally extract profit from a business separately (and under different tax rules) to your income. Although if you're a sole trader and don't plan to expand as a business, maybe your margin is 0 and you just pay yourself your wage and be happy?
