I FUCKING LOVE THAT DRILL

The 3" power saw in that series is nice also.

I'm assuming the most professional approach would be to begin by acquiring and gutting an extra battery pack, leaving the contacts and case as much intact as possible. If it was particularly flimsy without all the batteries in it, some epoxy filler might be in order once some beefy wires (somewhere around 6 gauge, or larger) have been properly soldered to the interior of the terminals.

As far as the specifics, I'm at a loss beyond the theory of converting AC to DC by use of a bridge rectifier.

Best bet is probably to crack open the drill, and go off the ratings on the side of the DC motor insofar as determining the needed input ratings.

Think I might work on it a bit today if I can find my drill bits.

Its just a plain old 3 axis CNC, but I'd like to try my hand at repraping once its together and in regular use.

Tools on commission.

Its a shame I never take pictures.

Also, large desks.

The rotary tool that comes in their full kit is totally crap.

Tandy leather is the most overpriced leather you can find.

See if vinyl qualifies as media mail.

Why would anyone assume that an armor defeated by the introduction of the crossbow be impenatrable by bullets?

Using tape on your clothes is a horrible idea, outside of fixing a hem thatt came out at the last miniute, and you used up your emergency sewing kit stitching together shrapnel wounds.

This really does look like a classic case of transplant shock and overwatering.

OP, when transplanting most plants you CAN NOT expose the roots to open air, and any damage to the root structure will also result in poor performance.

Proper transplant technique involves drenching the root system before digging it up, and after digging the new hole. If at all possible, make the transplant in one fluid motion, and cover the subsoil, avoiding air pockets. Tamping the soil as the next step is a matter of preference, but you need to water heavily right after to collapse air pockets around the root structure.

Assuming the new pot has proper drainage, all you can do is water and wait.

Grout is for tile. Mortar is for bricks.

Same idea, though.

If the brick was installed properly, the soil should have been compacted, covered with a layer of plastic or dense cloth, then flagstone laid, followed by paving sand, then the brick would be laid with mortar on top of a thin layer of concrete.

Just throwing mortar down and pushing it around might help for a while, but the brick will shift and sink without a proper foundation, especially if the brick supports vehicles.

Testors enamels are pretty legit. Easy enough to find in the US, too.

Repair how?

>assuming they're leather/cloth/rubber
If they're just coming off, rough up the mating surfaces with a steel wire brush, blow any debris off, and use barge cement as directed with a clamp using rags over the clamp faces to prevent damage to the shoes.

>plastic
The fuck if I know. I don't buy plastic shoes.

Pressure washer.

Take it to a self serve carwash if you don't have access to one otherwise.

Be gentle, though, or you'll blow the paint off.

>Pennsylvania

Enjoy dealing with different regulations and license fees in every county. Pittsburgh must have most of its aesbestos wiped out by now, so I doubt its worth it to jump in at the end game.

However, in good sport, I ask you this:
>why?

If you want to start cheap, start with a base metal, like aluminum, copper, lead, or tin. From there, try some alloys like pewter, and then when you stop burning and spilling pools all over the place, pony up for some low grade silver.

Cuttlefish bone is great if you want to go traditional. Lost wax is easiest for pieces as small as rings. If you don't need to do super detailed work, or want to make blanks for engraving, consider greensand casting. All are fairly cheap. You could be making decent rings less than $500 from now.

Are you even sure the motor is functional?

It might be easiest just to buy a salvaged drivetrain and power pack off an old golf cart.

Sweet w123 replica, though.

Peas and other pod vegetables are similarly easy for the beginner.

I don't know where OP lives, but its a bit late to be getting a "head start" on germination in the northern hemisphere. Better late than never, though.

One book is basically just ripping on how european methods are all shit for american keeping, if not just generally shit.

I know I'm going to fuck up building my first set of supers since I've never handled them before. I'm expecting a lot of this to come from experience.

You've got italian bees, right?

I hate that every time I find a stack of 10 of these things out by a dumpster I don't have anyone to tell that might want them where they are.

Good thing my new truck is big enough to break them down inside of so I can fuck around with them on my own.

There are a few beekeeping books from the early 20th century on google books for free.

Fascinating shit. I'm looking forward to having a few hives on my farm in the future.

I don't think you understand the proper fuunction of a laptop.

I propose we redirect them to /cgl/, much like /g/ redirecting car audio threads to /o/.

Put the box on its side. As long as your bed floor is less than 9' tall, you're fine. Lay it down on the 22"X7' side.
