well, hallo there, troller!
Thank you for your considered submission. Unfortunately, we feel this below usual /diy/ shitposting standards on this occasion, and we are returning unanswered for the reason(s) as noted below:
>trying too hard/10 - complete overuse of too-obvious trigger phrases.

>>1157531
Well excuse you.

I was led to believe that /diy/ was a haven for makers and creators. I am merely asking for ideas on how to create a space that encourages me to fulfill that part of my soul that desires to create. I am a little lost when it comes to all this because my mom was a hardworking strong single mother and was not able to teach me from experience about the manly pursiuts I am undertaking heretofore.

>>1157532
I am heterosexual by choice, my friend, and as manly as they come. Pic related (from my blog).

However, I am very supportive of all lifestyles.

way too obvious, don't take 4chan for idiots

thanks for the laugh i guess

You know, you're exactly the kind of person I hope my wife's son never encounters. But I know that's too much to hope for, as mixed race children rarely have it easy in life. It's terribly reflective of the kind of world we live in. It's no wonder that the Bill of Roghts was written on WHITE PAPER.

Why hello fellow maker!

I have just finished my small handcrafting studio (for knitting/crochet and handbeading) and love to hear about like minded souls pursuing their creative muse! I will post some pictures when I get back to my loft, but I wanted to encourage you to chase the art of manly crafting and keep us updated on the progress of your makerspace.

Made me laugh

i know this is a troll, but craigslist and garage sales. acquiring a shop full of good tools takes time and patience unless you are willing to go to a big box and plunk down a fuck ton of money.

be willing to put some work into some of the older tools. IE new brushes for a drill, new belt for a table saw, etc.

>all these faggot buzzwords

>>1157525
those cabinets look really noice-

Got to say, this shit posting is finely crafted.

>>1157893

>>1157525
those cabinets are sturdy but are lacking aesthetically. Buy some woodgrain contact/vinyl wrap and cover them in it, but sand down the ridges of the diamod plate first so you will get a smooth surface using 400 grit sandpaper, any finer grit would be a waste of time as the wrap will cover minor imperfections.

then distress it with some old coffee and a blowtorch.

This thread is amazing. There is a lack of bicycle co-op though. OP needs a fixie mounted on the wall.

Lets say I want to make some jewelry (Commercially), the idea would be very simple machine cut pieces that have a much more industrial feel to them, I would shot/vapour or polish the surface myself (I have a small Shotblasting shop)

My question is what are the economics of this like?

Say at first I want to test 5 or so designs with a few samples of each, in different materials (Copper, Brass, Steel, Silver), what does the process of getting them machined for me entail and cost?

It is--- but mostly only the ones who are massive assholes. And their peanut gallery.

No dissing on Tim Gunn. He knows what the hell he's doing.

>>1158452
>implying a board of literal faggots isn't already hipster trash

>>1158544

>>1158591
Oh god, that's going to take years.

I almost got triggered, but then I lol'd. Hard. 10/10, OP.

Next time, talk about wanting to have some design space in your tiny house set in a commune, though.
