/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I have a few extra padlocks, I can make a short video explaining this if you need me to, it would be simple

>>1798112
Take the padlock off, it's likely a master lock
Grind the rivets off the bottom of the lock, pry the bottom off.
The lock cylinder will fall out.
On the back of the cylinder is a small crimp that holds it all together, you need to bend that crimp out so the plug can slide out of the cylinder.

Once you have bent the crimp, grind or file the top off the bible, the bible is the tall flat part of the cylinder where the pins and springs are stored.
Once you grind the top off the bible, the springs, followed by the driver pins, followed by the actual cut pins will fall out.
Be very careful that in the process of taking them out you dont mix them up otherwise you've lost everything.
Once you get them out the plug will slide out of the cylinder, put each key pin back into their corresponding hole that they came out of.
Now insert a blank key into the plug, you can see where you need to file by how high each pin sticks put of the plug.
Things should be rather self evident what you need to do to make the key at this point.
If you are actually going to do this and you end up needing help, hit me up on telegram @mrcrummypaws

Those 102 inch whips are available on amazon cheaply and will really help in getting your signal out, make sure you put it as high as possible

I recommend you search offerup and Facebook marketplace for an 80 gallon 230v ingersoll rand compressor.
I wouldnt have anything smaller if you wanna do auto body and paint without frustration

>>1797439
What? no paint shops use oilless compressors, they just use a filter to dry and filter the air.
And no, not those tiny in line filters that go before the gun, those are shit.

>>1797221
for real, are you ok?

>>1797226
Bro, I'm literally burning the pallets, I'm not that worried if it's covered in pigs blood.
It's getting burned.

>>1797201
>>1796945
If the pallet is blank I won't take it, if the pallet says MB I wont take it.
If the pallet says KD or HT I take it.

You need like 130 psi at the regulator to have 90psi at the tool in most cases, learn what pressure drop is.
I need go get a nice big half inch hose for my compressor.

>>1797181
Why do you hate fun?
>>1797180
No you

>>1797090
Why are you so sour bro??

If you're gonna paint with it, and you want nice results, like painting a car or something, you're gonna want some filtration that's a step up from a basic water separator, like an inline filter of good quality and a dessicant based dryer or a refrigerated dryer.
Pic related plus water separator before it even reaches it, make sure all your lines are sloped slightly downward and put drains on all the outlets so you can purge any water out of the lines easily.
Any water in your paint is gonna cause a ton of problems.
Where I used to work doing auto restoration was awful, the water would spray out my air tools like a god damn hose constantly.

Grab a 6 pack of beer, hit the desert with a bud or two and have a nice kick back.
That's my vote.

Where did I touch you with my soldering iron?

>>1796750
adapter?
I don't even have the antenna installed yet, I haven't even crimped the coax yet.
What would I be adapting to?
Are you ok?

It wasnt very much work, like 20 min, and I can crimp cables of whatever I need, I have lmr240 on the roll so I just make cables as I need with whatever ends I need.
Trying to get every last bit of performance out of this mobile setup rn

Bought a 4 pack of N connectors to solder into my kenwood UHF radios, I've heard the euro versions of this radio come with N and the American ones are SO-239.
People say the 239 socket doesnt hurt the performance at all and others say it does, I figured no harm in upgrading to euro spec.
Had to cut these 4 hole N sockets into 2 hole to make it fit the chassis though.

If you say so?

I have 3 air compressors, including a 1500 dollar 230v 80gallon ingersoll rand, and I still never use air ratchets, they arent any more powerful than the fuel ratchet and they have an annoying hose that drives me crazy in engine bays and under a car on a creeper.

>>1796258
Bro are you retarded?
The m12 ratchets are a god send, I use mine every fucking day.
I honestly wont work on a car if I dont have it and yes, I'm a real mechanic lol

This dude REALLY doesn't like baofengs

Impressioning, you'll need a little practice but I can make a key for a master lock from a blank in about 5-10min.
