/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1376074
Works well the other way around too. The boat is only 10' so the less weight I put in it the better. When I want to use my outboard I can hang up the trolling motor and battery

Made a quick and dirty mallet as a last minute going away present for the girlfriend.
Left the handle raw so she can shape it to her hand.

>>1376078
Current longer term project is a ~1:10 scale model of a house in grindverk, a traditional building style from western Norway.
Poached some pine in the city mountains and have started dimensioning beams with a carpenters axe and lots of patience with the rip saw.

Looks nice

>>1376078
A few years ago I made one.
Apparently the wood I used for the handle was green. And it shrunk when it dried. It’s on my list of things to fix.

Today’s project
Getting the mower ready.
Battery posta corroded over the winter

After 2/2

And I have the blades off to clean, sharpen and balance.

gud jab that's a significant improvement

Tryna attach a gx160 to a go-kart. Turned out to be a huge pain in the ass, can't find proper sprockets locally and whatnot. Ended up getting a motorbike sprocket and printing a hub for it.

>>1376176

Thumbnail looks like an odd cardboard cat thing. Kek.

Got a few going on. Pic related is a digital control box for a lead pour pot for casting sinkers and bullets at an appropriate temperature without fiddling with the knob constantly and checking the thermometer.

The other is a 2 inch water pump. Fucking tired of work taking my water pump here. And then when i do have one it is a giant pain in the ass to drag massive hoses around alone and hook up alone. Figure they wouldn't care or might even be excited if i can handle it myself. They blew one up last year and something fell and crushed the other one. Water pumps are becoming the 1 toy 5 kids fight over. Figure if i build my own toy then everyone else can fight over em and not get mine. My dad came up with a 13.7hp Perkins deisle motor. A buddy runs a small oil company and just happend to have a massive fucking water pump laying around. Northern tool has a 2 inch pump head that i figured would work fine but this big bastard looks like too much fun. The sumbitch runs up to 4,000psi... don't need to pump giant hole out often. Maybe 1 or 2 times a year. But when i do it takes a 10" pump running 24/7 for 2 weeks. 2" will take forevor but idgaf. Daisy chaining like 10 - 55 gallon drums together for a fuel tank and just have a fuel tanker come by once a week. The best part tho is it doubles as a 4,000 psi power washer. It's already plumbed for it.

Its going to be fun at the lake running that thing for mister bars all day. Been on the lookout for a water cannon turret from an old firetruck.

Oh, also building an electric drift trike since the local biker rally that had their last rally ever last year is apparently kicking off again. About as much redneck fun as anywhere on earth. Already got a washing machine tub and push mower for a fire pit.

>>1376074
Pump needs seals. Seels?... No big

>>1376074
Thanks to a thread from the other day my wife got my hopes up and then crushed my soul yesterday saying i could build us a mutherfuckng castle to live in and then saying she wants a wrap around deck and they look funny on a castle. pre formed concrete blocks and local sourced river rock to coblestone it. I told her fine. Wtf ever. Instead of a shop now i will have a fucking castle to tinker in with a mote and working drawbridge and look down on her normie house and laugh. Got a hookup on every aspect and so far it looks attainable soon if i do most of it myself. Gonna pracice and build the neices and nephews a play castle scaled down. Wife has such a big family we have a monthly reunion and half the town comes to hang out. Probably double as a pump house for the water well and mowers and shit when the kids arent around. There will be kids playing on it for 100 years if it lasts...

>>1376074
>>1376075
Saved pics, good idea.

>>1376503
Don't forget to make it wide enough for a 5 gallon bucket to fit underneath. That way you can submerge the motor and run it while on the stand.

>>1376225
tell her she can have a court yard instead of a wrap around deck. A court yard is better.

Today I beat up the outer shell of a CD drive to make a 2x2.5" hard drive holder. Got to play with my new walmart angle grinder.

Hi guys, redoing my office. Made a 240cm x 70cm x 2.5cm desk, profiled to fill the alcove. Looking great, feels balanced.

Issue: It's made from MDF I wanted oak but money is tight, I know MDF fickle about liquids getting on it, as it expands and reacts to that shit fast.

So how do I seal this? Is there any product recommendations that /diy/ have?

I want to make it water proof so that it wont react to the matt finish I am planning on putting on it

>>1377408
>changing a woman's mind.

Building a castle is easier but thanks

>>1377599
>So how do I seal this?

Use MDF sealer? Then paint/varnish.

>>1377623
Is it that simple?
No special sealer?
'Just google it' type deal?

This thing. Door is sagging ever so slightly. Trying to devise a plan that fixes the sag without covering the glass panel.

>>1377670

1. replace that two by four on the left so that the old holes don't cause a problem

2. make a "casing" using 1x2 or whatever to put on the face of the box.

3. like when you hang a door, put short screws in the hinges that go into the 1x2 with the door either level or a tiny bit tilted up. then release the door and if it sags, shift the 1x2 "casing" until the door is perfect. then put long screws that go through the 1x2 into the 2x4.

>>1377676
I get what you're saying with everything but the casing. You're talking about building another frame attaching it to the main body and hanging the door off that? And rotating that to get everything level?

>>1377680
>And rotating that to get everything level?

exactly. it could probably be 1/2" thick and still work. The basic idea is that the door and hinges and that one piece on that side are a stable unit that can be rotated to make the door perfectly positioned. I shouldn't have used the word casing, I suppose, but I was picturing how they hang doors; they stick the door and casing in the hole and then use shims to square it up, and then they replace the short temporary hinge screws one by one by long ones that go through the casing into the framing.

In your case I was picturing the thin piece going all the way around to simplify things, but any approach that lets you rotate an assembly will work.

>>1377684
>>1377680

lol. the thing is actually called a door jamb; the casing is the trim that goes on later. I'm not actually carpenter, but while painting houses in new construction I learned just enough to pretend to be an expert.

Removed the old grey metal fence and made a wooden fence to stop my kid from climbing up and walking into the river. Next step is to knock down those walls and move the fence to the riverside.

Tried to make a glove-controlled bionic hand thing that you could wear exoskeleton style

As you can see it wasn't very effective. The main problem is that I used this:

Built a fire place mantle accent thing. Supposed to be stone around the fire box . But we do our thing before the masons come in.

>>1377873
nice

is that for your place or a place you're working at?

is it birch ply?

>>1377885
Remodel job. Yeah birch ply and mdf core.

The “interior” was built as one piece and slipped in and everything else was built onto it.

Broke my arm at work and got bored so i started designing a new desk.
It's like one of those little kid desk bed combos but I'll just hang my hammock from corner to corner.
I am a little worried about strength but feel like it would be in the over built category, hopefully someone can chime in.
The red block is 6' high 18" wide and 10" deep roughly the dimensions of a 6' person.
The posts are 4x4 and the boards are 2x6
Rough calculations say itll be about 450lbs and $250

>>1377939
It's about 7ft high, 8.5ft long and 6ft wide.
I'll use the big 3/8"x6" bolts to bolt everything to the posts and counter sink them so they don't stick out and so the bolts can fit all the way through

>>1377939
I'm pretty sure if you hang a hammock corner to corner it will topple over unless you bolt it to the ground. That much weight isn't stable

I built a kayak trailer and a apparatus to hook it to my motorcycle to tow it. Here's a screen grab from my test ride. I got to correct some things but overall works better than expected. Stopping is still scary as fuck. Jackknifing on a motorcycle is a thing I don't want to experience.

>>1383920
Do trailers not need to be licensed in your state?

>>1383727
The design is called antdroid
plans n stuff are free to download.

I'm working on a portable water well for one of my photographs. I absolutely hate using foam but I need to transport it to a location. I have to build the roof and mechanism next.

>>1383920
what bike is that? It's making me moist

>>1384046
They do. But it's stupid to register it, the registration process cost more than what it took me to build the damn thing. If I get pulled over I'll just tell the cop I'm on my way to a weigh station for registration. But my taillight is still exposed, as with my plate. There's reflective tape on the back. Basically everything required. Only thing it doesn't have is DOT tires... And that's the only reason why it wouldn't pass inspection, my state doesn't care what trailers are made of.

>>1384085
Well let's hope I don't get rear ended eh? The lakes I'd be going too are all back streets no faster than 45mph.

you know these walls are designed to stop the water if the river floods your property

I got a skateboard to turn into an electric board. I recently pulled a free wheel of a child bike and I'm working on extracting the engine out of a weed whacker.

I'll probably heighten the trucks and find a way to chain this all together. Probably going to use as much of the control mechanisms from the weed whacker for now.

I'm hoping I have some sort of compatibility without things getting too expensive. The weed whacker is 18v and my batteries are 25v. The motor is probably brushed and my controller is for brushless.

I think I'm going to end up buying a charger for the weed whacker for the prototype to avoid dealing with incompatibilities like that.


If the prototype goes well I'll probably just invest in a proper 25v brushless motor.

And the first aluminum corner bracket I made using the welding cart for a large platform 3D printer, which will eventually be used to print those two 400x400x100 drawers. These brackets are orders of magnitude more rigid than the chink pieces of shit I was using before.

Tillamook 17. I mounted the transom today and filled some holes with 407. I'll send them down tomorrow and continue fairing the frames for planking.

>>1388919
Just looked it up, that's really cool. You should go all out, add all the options and really put some craftsmanship into it. How much are you in so far now, and how much do you think it will cost to complete?

I fixed my flip flops using nails

I work on high quality boats every day so this one is actually being slapped together extremely sloppily and as fast as possible. Maybe if I get a job away from boats I'll do a really nice build in the future but I honestly just want to have it on the water for crab and salmon season.

As for price, the original goal was to be $500 not including what I already had(3/4 Okoume for the transom, West Systems Epoxy, and some fiberglass). In reality the boat will cost me 1k including the motor by going through a vintage outboard club. If I came in with no materials or experience I think the Tillamook costs around $1,500 to build the hull and then however much more for the motor but it depends on what quality of materials you use.

>>1389485

i am building a motor for my work truck (silverado). the current motor in it has like 260K on it now so its time to do an engine swap. I run a Dock Repair business and my truck is my life bread. For anyone that knows LS motor its a iron block 5.3 i ordered a set of flat top L33 pistons and rods to bump up the compression. Also gonna be running a TSP 212/218 low lift cam to bump up the low end tourqe a bit for towing and hauling shit. My goal is 375-400 whp nothing crazy

You applied too much finish on the wood. As a result it started to drip. Also called a run because the material runs down or flows down.
0000 steel wool will probably fix what you have.

Pic related.

>>1390134
Thanks, I added a second piece of wood where it clamps on for extra stability. I have it padlocked down on the transom and I have an "oh shit" cable connected to the boat incase the motor ever falls off I can pull it back in.

>>1390134
>I’m out here where sandals meet wood

What does this mean?

Made a bench / table from pallets and an old plank some trade guy left which he used to wheelbarrow up stairs n shit.

Need to start repairing my dock, the bankside walkway has a slope on it into the water after years of the river eating the bricks and rock underneath. Gonna be fun moving all the brick boulders and concrete under there then leveling it again. Also the stairs could do with a touch up.

>>1400305
I know a guy if you want a hand with the dock.

Why does this sound dirty?

My main project has been pushed to the side because of money's, but I'm building a greenhouse in the backyard. The framing is all done, I just need to wait until I can acquire some of that clear plastic paneling for cheap. Fucking $30 for a 2'x12' peice and I need a lot.

Other than that we (my ex electrician buddy and father in law) just built a rig to make fractal wood burns out of a microwave transformer.

1/8th aluminum

I gotta cut the box open now and add latches and handles. Jimmy diresta our Lord and savior recently released a vid on making on this week. I had the material and tools so I had to make one.

So, I've been wanting to fix my DS Lite to play Fire Red. The top screen basically doesn't have a hinge anymore and the bottom screen has a shit ton of scratches.
Realized that Nintendo doesn't give a shit about this console anymore. So I bought a new shell and screens from amazon and looked up some youtube vids. This'll be my first DIY project.

Have any of you done this before? Let a lad know what he's in for.

Will post results on Friday if this thread is still around.

It should look like pic related if done properly.

>>1401500
Yeah, I bought a 2nd dsl for $5 but it had a fucked case. The hard part is that ribbon cable in the hinge on the left, be super careful not to tear or crease it.

Thanks senpai

>>1401868
What? Go back to the place you've pulled yourself from.

>>1401863
Nah bro.

This is about as safe as we can get without wearing flash suits.

My ex navy electrician buddy built it so I don't know all the electrical terms but basically power runs from the house to the machine. Machine has a ready switch, and a footswitch that allows power to the 15amp fuse and then to the transformer and out to the leads.

The footswitch is like what you'd find in a sewing machine, it has to be depressed to allow the current to go. Kind if like a dead mans switch I guess.

>>1401409
How did you bend the metal?
Do you have a break?
And where do you buy your aluminum stock?

>>1401947
I did use a legit break, breaking 1/8 aluminum can be a little hard but the box is only 2ft wide so it can totally be done with a home made break. Such as 2 pieces of stong angle iron, one with holes on the ends so you can put bolts to clamp down to the end of a table and weld a hinge so the bottom angle iron can pivot. I hope my explanation was clear even though it probably wasent. Also i got the materal from a big company that requires big orders, but you could get that from a place such as metal supermarket. They sell small stuff to consumers

>>1401928

Interesting. I don't have the space or the interest in arcades, but I admire the work, so have a (you)

Current progress. Haven't figured out yet how to snap a battery without using any screws, any advice?

Welded a 1" rectangle, added 125lb each casters, and .5" plywood base (threaded the frame).

What for, you ask? No, not a gocart or creeper. A sliding cat litter box project.

>>1404376

>>1404308
Make 2 Slots use Velcro battery straps..
Also what servos are you going to use?
And what are you gonna use to run it? Phoenix code?
Is it going to be 3d printed or routed from aluminium? Cuz if you gonna 3d print that it will be to flimsy.
I'm in assembly stage gonna work on it in the next days. And post pictures of how it looks.

>>1404498

> Make 2 Slots use Velcro battery straps..
I have a bunch of neodymium magnets, but not sure if I should try them.

>Also what servos are you going to use?
SR403P, 14 kg/cm, the legs are ~20 cm long, meaning each leg can handle ~0.5kg of weight, meaning 3kg in total.

>And what are you gonna use to run it? Phoenix code?
I guess my very own C++. It has raspberry pie for head brains and "veyron servo driver" for spine brains. The idea is to create a physx simulation in unity, and load a code in it in form of a library, see vid related. Then, once tested, test on a real hardware using literally same library.

>Is it going to be 3d printed or routed from aluminium?
Laser cut 2mm aluminium. Not sure if it handle the weight though.

>And post pictures of how it looks.
I guess I have to figure out a whole design first, now I stuck with how to place an antenna. It has two 1mm holes in the pcb, and I haven't used screws this thin. I can't just screw it to aluminium, I need some spacing n shit.

>>1384254
what if he asks you which weigh station?

>>1404563
watt

>>1395516
same

>>1404563
Like you tell him you're taking it to a weigh station for registration and he asks which weigh station you're headed to.

You'd better memorize all the weigh stations in your area so you don't get caught off guard man

>>1402131
Started playing with the resin tonight.

Letting this one cure, have some nice electric blue glow pigment on its way for some of these other designs.

>>1404651
Imagine a design like this, hit with a dark stain, filled in with electric blue and then smoothed over with a layer of clear resin

I had a bad day today, so I went to Walmart to do something I've always wanted to do.

>>1405018

>>1405018
What did you do? OP! What did you do?
Shit on the floor of the women’s changing room?
Pick up the intercoms and announce a sale in the sporting goods section?
Punch the Walmart greater?
Purchase condoms and water mellon and ask the clerk To go on a date?
Strip naked, cover yourself in whipped cream and yell, I’m the Michelin Man?
Molest a kid in the bathroom?

WTF did you do?

>>1405039
Had the day off, so really I'm a whiney little bitch. Wired up a new outlet in the basement for a computer, but after I rewired 3 boxes in series, I realized the old white was 12 gauge and the white I used was 14. Almost let it go, but realized the current flowed through that to feed 2 other rooms, not the reverse. So I ripped all that out and did it right. 30 minute job ended up taking 3 hours.
Then I did some trim work, but my dumbass kept cutting the wrong angle.
Then I cut grass and it was 85% humididy.
But now, all is right in the world.

Table built, but I was too lazy to make the top.

>>1405243

I'm routing out the top at a friend's place this weekend, but I had to try out the brand new router and bits.

>>1405102
I chuckled

>>1405246
>>1402184
Does it feel like good quality? I'm thinking about buying the cheaper Jessem lift I think it's about $200 for my milwaukee router.

Is it easy to install/uninstall the router so I can use it handheld whenever I need to?

>>1405266
>>1405102
Let it go or fill in the pot marks with weld and one more really thin bead at the bottom?

>>1405550
>one more really thin bead at the bottom?

yeah man, one really thin bead will make it nice.

>>1405560

I'm making a boat! I'll be bringing a lot of hobby skills together to compete this project. 3d printing, body working, mold making, vacuum forming, painting, RC electronics,,,,,I think that covers everything. Check out my bios blogs at www.youtube.com/c/makersmic

>>1404651
>>1404654
I'm really irritated because the pigment powder I ordered SPECIFICALLY because it was blue and also glows blue came in and of course, it's white.

Anyway, I played with some more resin tonight and hopefully I got the mix right. The smaller one I poured the other night either soaked the resin in or I guess it rolled off because it wasn't level. I don't think I have to worry too much about them being level with this pour though.

>>1405728

>>1405729

>>1405643
looks like shit, should have bought a kit

>>1405490

It's great quality, my friend nearby has a double router setup with them because he does a ton of car stereo installs.

It takes a minute to set up the blocks for a different size router, but the crank handle that you use to raise it also works on the clamp screw on the right to remove the router in a few seconds.

>>1395510
Oohhh that’s rough

I've been trying to adapt an old electronic typewriter keyboard to usb. I mapped the original pcb, figured out it's pulsed via a demultiplexer, then mapped each key with a dmux input and a 5 bit output to the original mcu. I wanted to use as much of the original electronics as possible and as it sits, only the old NEC chips needed to be pulled.

I wasted like a week trying to get an NXP ARM mcu working for hid then said fuck it and went to an Arduino, only I couldn't put the usb serial bootloader on to one uno, and couldn't get it off the other to program it, so I'm programming the blue uno with the black uno via Arduino as ISP.

So far I have most keys except modifiers working but response time is shit so I have some actual usb ready avr boards in the mail to continue this with a little more grace.

I doubt it will be a practical keyboard but once I make a case for it, it will sure be a conversation piece.

>>1405812
Where did you get that black arduino?

>>1405818
It was from a sainsmart kit years back.

>>1405730
Roughly 14 hours later.

Looks like it's curing a lot better out in the garage. Probably a combo of the environment and the difference of pouring into the negative space vs pouring over the entire piece.

>>1405996
This shit glow af

>>1405800

The top has been cut out for the router lift and rails, now I'm just waiting on my fence and the front miter track to arrive. Then I need to decide what I want to do for dust collection.

>>1406656
that looks like a nice router table build. I built a cart for my portable table saw and looking to incorporate the jessem table on the "wing" i built along side it.

Going to flip the boat as soon as the paint cures.

Lol

>>1384096
Can you show the photo anon?

Cut the shear, installed gunwhales and cap rails. All I have left to do is cut the sole boards, transom cutout, and paint the interior.

>>1408028
You are right, I definitely will disappoint that anon as I'm not going to make a thread or post too much more.

I live in an old building and have convinced the other residents to pay me to restore the main starwell back to its former glory (walls were crumbling and falling apart, exposed cables everywhere, lighting fixtures were dangling and burned up.)
Ive fixed all of the things mentioned above, but now I would like to clean up the actual steps and give them a clean, smooth finish.

I have no idea how to do that however. Does anyone here know what kind of a stone this is and how could I go about cleaning and polishing it?

I can provide more pics if needed.

>>1408518
They look like a synthetic marble - basically just marble chips set in a plastic resin. Get some diamond polishing pads off ebay, about $20 for a set. Any holes could be filled with epoxy with a white filler (titanium oxide or silica flour) powder.

>>1408538
Was synthetic marble a thing in the late 18th century? This building predates ww1 by quite a bit.

>>1405996
Finished this the other night.

Not doing another one on plywood, but learned a few good lessons for next time. Don't need near as much resin as you think you will because you WILL be sanding it off, you idiot.

No more plywood, no matter how nice it is. You will fuck up and sand through the top layer and ruin the grain of the piece.

Next piece will be with wood out of an antique armoire. I think it's oak, but not sure. My father saved it from a burn pile about 15 years ago and it's been in his she'd ever since.

>>1404375
>A sliding cat litter box project.
why does it need to slide?

>>1408598
Use a heat gun or that "ice weave" stuff to get it clearer when it sets. That looks like jizz/hotglue.

>>1408640
What you're seeing is the glow powder I got from Amazon. I didn't have any other dyes so I just went with it. This is as clear as it's going to get, hit it with a butane torch and everything. I can still sand it some more and polish it up but it's going to look cloudy.

Ordering different powders next time. Not disappointed with the glow on this though. Just don't care for the green/white color during the day.

>>1408640
Wait, I misread your post. Either way, next project will have actual color during the day.

Controlled by an Arduino and connected to a DSLR camera. It's for a friend of me who does allot of highres 360 product photography. So it turns the disk a bit, makes a photo, turns again, photo and so on. Also added BT module to it and wrote an phone App to control it.
