Working on a bookcase. Seemed like the perfect thing to use pallets for.

>>1595055
Wait a minute... Isn't that Jeff's place? Ground zero for dock repair?

>>1595065
If he lives near Portland, Oregon then yes.

This towel hanger, been more work then I anticipated

>>1595112

where the fuck do you live that towels come on a roll

is it actually a towel or just paper like shitter parchment

do you wash it or chuck it

It's a kitchen towel, more like toilet paper really.

>>1595123
where the fuck do you live? TELL ME NOW!

>>1595123
It's obviously a roll of paper towel you dumb cunt

>>1595112
Bro how tf was that hard, you just have 3 boards screw them together and drill a hole

>>1595058
bookcase or kitty coffin, looks good

Whoops, looks like i triggered the namefag

Concrete bench top for bbq area.
Have just sealed underside, now have to flip, sand, seal and coat it.

>>1595057
The rope isn’t a safety hazard. At least compared to the 5’ deep pool he’s going to jump into, from the ladder.

>>1595462
yeah looks like he built it with 12 foot 2x4s, i reck trim that tree and hopefully not use it for diving

>>1595472
>reck
reckon he will*

>>1595175
Thanks. Just need to stain it black and pop some shelves in. Thinking about adding a tile backsplash to it just because I have tons. Still can't decide on a base that isn't just a board.

A boat.

>>1595054
i bought some materials to build a wall for shelving in my basement last week. Haven't even started, getting drunk instead.

>>1595054
Going to attempt some roller shades for the windows. We just moved and while the family loves all the big windows it's getting sunny and it's so damn bright. Might be fun

>>1595054
>>1595055
are ladders that expensive?

>>1595794
Is it so difficult to build a compelling rack? Do you need to know much about music?

>>1595808
here it's just for one appliance, so I just screwed two wood boards at the right width, but if you want to make an actual 19" rack for more devices you better buy pick related.
>Do you need to know much about music?
no, it's a standard also used for networking stuff and probably other things.
also look at this: https://wiki.eth0.nl/index.php/LackRack

>>1595817
Thanks for the reference!

I'm building this miniature lighthouse out of ice cream sticks. The tower (that I'm currently going to use) is just a piece of sturdy cardboard tube. I used some thin fruit box particle board for the lantern.
Any tips/ideas on how to construct the walls and roof of this thing? I have zero knowledge about construction techniques in general.

>>1595902
Another view:

>>1595615
yeah bro ladders can cost over $100 for a 6 foot ladder, dunno how much a 12 ft is but probably close to $200

>>1595902
>>1595904
what purpose does your project serve?

>>1595941

Can't you recognize art when you see it, you fucking philistine?

>>1595941
Just a decoration. I've always had an interest in lighthouses and decided to try making my own.

>>1595941
Keeps the model ships from crashing into the rocks. What the fuck else would it be for?

Dumbass.

>>1596051
Fuck, thank you for the idea! I was trying to think of something to make for my BIL's birthday (4 months away) and he owns a racing sailboat (does the Mackinaw Race every year amongst others) but he doesn't have a model of his boat. I can totally do that!

You know who's awesome? You're awesome!

>>1596061
Thanks anon. I try, I really do.

>>1595546
Went for it, now enjoying some goofy cuts.

>>1595191
Lol, I wear chain mail, iron gauntlets and leather chaps when I use my angle grinder. I've got steel and plexiglass shutter shades on the way.

>>1596120
This is going to look awesome anon

>>1596191
Thanks! Just got to do some clean up, make shelves, and stain it. I've never stained anything before, so I hope it goes well. Worst case scenario I can just paint it I guess.

A coffin for stillborn babies?

I made a telegram bot that anatomizes people in a group, e.g. everyone just chat to the bot directly and get the messages from others from him too, without names. Something like an image board but in real time format. Especially it is true for /diy/ since it is long dead, like 20 posts a day?

Took me two days to make, and I would like to test it out with someone, but I have no friends. I could've asked here, but that would be shilling.

>>1595054
Starting a small orchard

>>1595123
Its like a double lenght roll of toiler paper. We use those mostly in the kitchen to quickly clean spills and such. You just chuck em in the bin after since it's dirt cheap

>>1597132
That's a lot of babies.

>>1597164

Toilet paper doesn't come in a roll? wat

>>1597292

>haha I'm euro and I am O B S E S S E D with America

>>1599407

toilet parchment? why would i need it on a roll as a stack is much more convenient

>>1595054
I finished wall insulation, water, drain, electrics and drywalling in my living room, including a construction to hide the pipes and the support structure. I've installed an electric screen and I'm going to install a small hatch in the ceiling which will be lowered by the linear actuator visible in the gif, this hatch will contain the projector. I've cut off the original control box for the screen and incorporated it into my own system so I can lower the screen and the hatch with one single button. Button will be placed on a wall mounted control box which will also house temperature control and some domotics I'm planning to build.

Yes I use tarduino, it's the easiest way to do this kind of shit if you're not an engineer/whatever and it's dirt cheap so I'd be stupid if I didn't use it

>>1600554
Pls excuse the potato quality of the gif, I had to keep it under 4mb

>>1600557
make webms instead, much better quality for the size

>>1600650
True, but I was too lazy to do that, anyways, the idea is visible and that's what matters

>>1600653
use "webm for retards" its super simple and made for making webms for here (you can use it to make regular webms as well)

>>1600554
concrete, nice.

I'm slowly fixing up each room one at a time. Almost got laundry room perfect. I got shelves. now if I can hang some tools. maybe a gun rack. guess a battery bank in a laundry room isn't a slick idea?

>>1596103

>>1600893
Thanks, didn't pour it myself thoughI only did the sand bed, insulation and floor heating but I hired a guy for the actual concrete pouring and wet polishing. It's the final redpill though, shit gets warm in minutes

>>1595792
update on this: my friend is a painter and it's awesome

>>1595054
One of a matching pair of book cases. Just put first coat of varnish on.
Two tone wood coloration was intentional. Still not sure how it's going to turn out.

Built a bar in my basement.

>>1601241
I like it, but I am big Alex Grey fan

Soundproof cuckshed. Was testing the effect of extra layers of drywall w/ green glue and today I put up a border around the door to apply weather stripping to.
Also flushed the front brake fluid on my motorcycle.

Found a europallet, stuck on 4 trolley wheels (might do 2 more for the middle) and had to cut away a 26x2x7cm section from each corner so the BILLY bookshelves would nicely fit.
Screwed those onto the pallet.

Now all I gotta find is a 120x80cm tabletop to use as workspace. Perhaps a second removable one out of metal I can attach a circular sawblade to. Once removed it can hang down the side while the other is on top.

Idea is to make a mobile workstation in my bedroom. Room is rather large, but I hate affixing anything permanent, especially heavy shit if I ever want to clean/vaccuum.
The shelves provide storage space, on the sides for tools/materials/table vice. Could even make four drawers in the undercarriage of the pallet itself.

In the middle I can put literally anything aswell, hang shit from the back of the shelves, the possibilities are endless.
Whole thing is 106cm high, so there's no bending over when working.

Also I finished this a little while back. Wood was out of an old bed mattress-(lattice?) feel free to google Lattenrost. The round poles I bought seperately.

Whole thing is mounted to two long screws in the wall with those little plastic ribbed inserts to prevent sliding out.
There's currently double the amount of shit on it currently, still going strong, though I wouldn't be doing pull ups on it.

If I could redo this I'd have rubbed in some wood oil or some kinda cream. This is in the bathroom after all, though no signs of warping or bending yet.

Tool restoration. Scored this Ryobi with a very good motor but the body is in bad shape, came with a stand not in the picture. Gutted it so I can flatten the table and plastic weld a couple of cracks in the housing as well as clean it properly.

It also had a light switch rated for ten amps replacing the infamously faulty Ryobi switch but I ordered a better switch for it tonight.

Putting external speaker plugs on my Milwaukee bluetooth speaker so I can plug in much higher efficiency external speakers when camping or drinking in the desert

>>1595256
Here it is flipped, polished and resin coated.

>>1601791
are you planning on cutting wood in your bedroom?!?

>>1600896
I think people like to keep their battery banks in the garage, unless you don't have one.

>>1602591
Tbh a circular saw might be a bit overkill, its just I have nowhere else I might go about doing so.
Yes I know sawdust is crazy. When I went about smooth-surfacing the surfaces of the pallet, I used a hammer-dill and a wirebrush/rotating sandpaper-bit.
Shit got everywhere, holy fuck. Think I'll get a vacuum set up close to whatever's being shaped this time.
My concern is more on the noise than the dust.
My grinder makes a fucking racket even when outside.
>Pic related, all the goddamn sawdust.


On a slightly unrelated note, what would spmeone recmend to smooth out inch-thick tree branches? I'm imagining something like a large potato peeler, but not sure if thats the answer.
Basically with each pass I want to have less and less outcroppings/bumps/edges on the treebranch.

>>1602325
>resin coated
poor thing
if you wanted it to feel like plastic, why did you do concrete at all to begin with?

>>1602633
It's a pretty hard resin, designed for exterior counter tops, feels like glass.

>>1602633
Not knocking it all. It looks good. Great actually. But that is why I did epoxy countertops. I was going to do concrete then some how or another found out the best sealer was an epoxy, then I was like welp might just as well use epoxy. Which worked well.

>>1597105
>Nah, light is just hittin it weird.

no, its empty. you are a retard

>>1602325

My man! Looks great as well, have never gone down the resin route myself but can see why with how porous it can be even after treatment.
This is my last project, a pour in place bath surround. Had a few fuck ups along the way but still happy overall.

>>1602985
Thanks m8, I'm making the 'control panel' (just a lacquered wooden box with the button on it, it will host the thermostate too and later on more domotics as my projects advance) right now, it'll be finished end of this week. This evening I'll start working on the latch which will house the projector and do some calculations to find out where exactly the actuator has to go. I did them before but ceiling plans changed a bit along the way so I have to do them again.

>>1602985
After second layer of primer, as you can see, fine woodworking is not one of my talents so it'll need a final filling, sanding and priming before I'll apply the lacquer. Of course, it would have been wiser not to try routing multiplex in the first place but I had a ton of the stuff laying around and I wanted a rounded edge.

>>1603079

That is some of the finest craftsmanship I've ever seen. If you have time, please post pics of other things you have made. A dedicated thread would be nice.

>>1603086
Kek, that's a blatant lie and you know it. You can clearly see the uneven filling on the edges. Not that it matters, I'll hopefully be able to get it smooth after this coat of primer dries. But, if people are interested, I'll make a thread this friday so I can post some progress, otherwise it'll just die.

This here is the hole which will accommodate the projector. HDMI, 230V and 12V already in place. I'm going to saw a multiplex latch the same size as the hole and attach it to the rear with piano hinge. Then I'll install the actuator and connect it. Latch will just be painted along with the ceiling and I'll camouflage the slits with white plastic trimming.

>>1603092
can you still open the windows?

>>1603127
Yes, barely, but it's possible. Not when the latch is down ofc.

Progression on the latch

>>1595112
how do you change the roll?

do zip ties count

>>1603188
Not him, but he prolly has a spring on one end that is more drilled out than the other.
Spring keeps the rod in the less drilled out end in its hole otherwise.
When you change a roll, push rod horizontally into more drilled out hole and the entire rod allows itself to be removed allowing the roll to be changed.


I could be maaaassively wrong here.

about to install solar backup. not much right now 2*420 watt batteries and 100 watt solar panel. But I will add more panels and batteries.

>>1603188

I'll tell you how to make sure you don't make Elliot Rodger and make girls instead. I'm a doc so trust me.

Making half bred girls 101:
>taimingu
The most important factor is timing. The baby’s sex is determined by the chromosome carrying sperm. Y swim faster, but survive for shorter periods of time than their female producing counterparts. You should have sex TWO to FOUR days before ovulation if you are hoping to conceive a girl. By the time ovulation occurs, only the X should be left to fertilise the egg.
>sexpose
To conceive a girl, shallow penetration during sex is the key, but for a boy, the opposite is true. I advise missionary position or a small dick LMAO.
>don't make the girl orgasm/go for ACIDIC vaginas
Don't fret - my racetraitor brothers - it's science. The female orgasm releases an alkaline secretion which may help Y to survive longer, by creating a less hostile environment.
An acidic vaginal environment is more conducive to a girl. An acidic pH will negatively affect the Y, which is weaker and less resilient than the X.
>avoid nofap/have more sex, but with a different partner
MASTURBATE like a teen on heat. This will reduce sperm count, and mean there are less fast-swimming boy sperm available to join the race for fertilisation.
>don't fall for the coffeine meme
Don't drink coffee/stimultants if you want a girl and do if you want a boy. Apparently, the caffeine is detrimental to female sperm.
>drink milk/GOMAD
For a girl, eat milk products, drink milk, eat yogurt and cheese. A diet low in sodium and potassium and high in calcium and magnesium helps produce a girl.

>>1603632
>10/10
I'm very flattered, but that is far from truth. it is merely 5, maybe 6/10

thanks. it will suffice for me. it is not a heirloom version though - only skirt is made from oak, everything else is bloody pine

>>1603661

that's beautiful, but it reminds me of guys who buy a new 40k pickup truck for work and get pissed when the bed gets scratched. I suppose if it's in a one-man workshop, great, but if he has any other workers who treat it like a work bench, I'd love to see his face when someone drills a hole in it.

It's a work of art, though. And yours is as well.

>>1603661
That's too nice to belong in a workshop...

>>1603689
>someone drills a hole in it

It's a bench for people who unironically buy and use pic related (yes, that tool is actually a thing). Your bench is more than fine :-)

>>1604019
moinmoin!

>>1604019
oh btw, you're a bit wrong, fren. Matt Estlea, he's totally based woodworker, he did this workbench for himself.
would be true if some douche would buy it, but this doode did it himself. check out his jewtube channel, quite worth it!

>>1595055
ENHANCE

>>1604021


>>1604022
>oh btw, you're a bit wrong, fren. Matt Estlea, he's totally based woodworker, he did this workbench for himself.

Does he actually use it, though or is it mainly a display piece? I wouldn't be surprised if he'd built two, one for hard, day-to-day use and one for the occasional jewtube video...

It's what I'd do if I ever built a bench like that. I wouldn't have the heart to subject a pretty, polished bench to the kind of battering I subject my workbenches to...

Also, my current project (or rather part of it) is pic related (1/4). This frame is not this crooked because I fucked up...

>>1604039
...but because the guy who built the wall this drywall frame attaches to may have been a bit tipsy. The net result is the outer stud being nicely level (2/4).

>>1604041
Sorry, forgot pic. (2/4) for real now.

>>1604042
Once the studs were all in place I made a hell of a mess cutting drywall. Took me a couple of attempts to produce panels that would actually fit into that corner with its crooked walls...

(3/4)

>>1604043

Right now I'm taking a break because I've just screwed on the last panel. Only mudding and painting left now... (4/4).

On a more philosophical note: I spent a couple of days on building that piece of drywall because I didn't feel like covering up the hot water pipes for painting the ceiling. Paid off handsomely, huh?

>>1604039
>does he use it
he does indeed
there it is in action
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xod3EiWqAN4
>I wouldn't have heart to use it
you and me :D you and me. would feel a bit like using french polished card game table with inlay'd tabletop for working surface

>>1604043
question - how do you cut the drywall? because from the looks of the edge something's not right

>>1604060

Yeah. Not the orthodox way :-)

I know you're supposed to use a sharp knife and break it, but that never worked all that well for me. Instead, I keep old japanese saws around after they've grown too dull for wood and use them for drywall. For larger pieces I use one of these large toothed saws for foamed concrete blocks.

The jap saw does a pretty decent job, but the big toothed fellow tends to rip more cardboard off than strictly needed, that's why it looks so ragged.

>>1604063
:D
was asking because I was wondering :D
ya know how it is -

Has anyone here made any mortar racks for fireworks? I want to make more, but am looking for better designs or ones that are easier to build. Pic related is one of mine.

>>1604661
Maybe something like this on a smaller scale?

>>1604670
I would love to do something like that for bottle rockets, but for mortars I'd like to be able to shoot the shells off at angles without them all going off in the same direction. I can fit 25 mortars in a milk crate, and that functionally creates a cake which I can then angle however I like, but again, I want a fan effect.

>>1604963
What? Tighter fit, more better.

>>1604963
It was painted (OEM) when I got it. I'm under the impression that once it cures and I wax it, a glossy surface is slicker than bare waxed aluminum.

If it sticks/binds, I'll just wire wheel the paint off and besides, the rails of a sled should never touch the top of the rail anyways, just the sides.

>>1604661
Man that is one way to do it, but you dont need to ziptie the fuses; a simple tight knot should do.

I'm wanting a work bench for my room, Any recommendations?
i have a lot of spare room so far into the place i'm moving into and i'd be doing basic solder stuff,Painting,model making just anything in general.
What should i use as a base? I was thinking stainless steel since it's easy to clean. My main issue is finding a L shaped desk with a good design or just a stainless steel top.

What's wrong with sanding pallets??
It's just wood

>>1605787
it's treated with all sorts of crap. I always laugh my ass off at the brainletism of those who fallen for "reclaimed wood DIY" - beds, furniture, even bloody drinking vodka shot cups.
might as well use railroad ties (or whatever those wood beams are called) - should be a bit quicker

>>1605787

use Kantenschutz for mudding those edges

>>1601475
NO hidden compartments for firearms, you had one job

>>1605853

Mudding is already done and I skipped the Kantenschutz. I finally got around to mudding on Saturday evening when the shops were already closed and didn't feel like waiting until Monday...

Doesn't matter, though. It turned out fine nonetheless - pic related. If I knock off a lot of plaster as time goes by, I'm going to put a diamond plate profile on the affected corner. Exterior Kantenschutz is patrician tier anyway - if you embed a profile in plaster you're just going to eventually expose that profile on the corner that sees the wear and tear. Better to have metal on the outside in that case.

>>1605846
yikes dude. obviously this is really unsafe. goodluck

It's finally becoming smooth (didn't work on it continuously though)

I'm drawing up plans for a bedside table, but kinda like one of those sofa tables you put behind a sofa, with no access to the sides/front. I have two ideas

The more I try to realize plans for the first, the more I want to do the second instead. I was going to make two anyway so maybe that would be a better start.

Mmm, creosote.

I labor at a steel warehouse so on some rare occasions (none ever taken) I get the privilege to mess around with some scraps. Idk how to weld but I’m hoping to make 2 push-up bars out of pic related materials. Something simple. If there’s anything I know I should keep an eye on is the heat from the welding which could potentially skew the bars out of place and I don’t want to be fucked messing this up.

I just bought my first house, I’ve got a wife and 2 kids moving onto 9 acres with a 40x60 ft barn soon. I’m designing a chicken tractor, which is basically a chicken coop on wheels that I can move around the property to limit surface damage (also owner and realtor warned me about bald eagles landing there often). Besides that, I’ll be establishing a duck pen and I’m really excited to put in a ground level kiddie pool near the most downhill section of the pen, I’m going to trench a pvc pipe with continuing away and will caulk it to the bottom of the pool so I can pull a plug and empty to pool whenever and it’ll disperse the duck shit soup downhill away from my animals. Eventually we’re gonna get some goats too but first I need my buddy to breed his alpacas, we need a guard animal due to coyotes in the area and a donkey isnt as good as a free alpaca. I’m so excited to farm and raisin some animals guys... like seriously I’m so ducking satisfied with my life now having land raising/tending to livestock has always been a dream and I’m just so ducking happy my family and I get to do this together. Pic related to mallards and two khaki campbells I got right now.

>>1606324
very based and ruralpilled! I salute you, brother!

>>1606324
I'm happy for you anon - but sad at the same time because it's a stark reminder my gf absolutely, determinedly does not want to take the rural pill.

>>1606324
get more ducks, if you have a pond (pretty much a must in a permaculture) you can just let them free. ducks are fucking based - they watch out for themselves, not like nigger dumb chicken. you'll just need to fence off them from where you don't want them to wander.
chickens will need full coop, and depending on the general wildlife in you area, there might be need for further precautions.
goats? for milk, only. I find their meat extremely unpalatable. had to boil, grind, add shit ton of spices and then make kebab out of it before we could eat it.
Sheep on the other hand. now that's patrician meat!
family of the same size here, we have 4 egg layin' hens (more than enough eggs for us all, unless the bastards get on their period and stop laying) we get 12-14 ducks for meat and the same amount of chickens. I frankly don't care much for chicken though.

>>1606324
>>1606378
also - stay away from combi-fodder... onions and other shit in it will make them grow like on steroids, but that is def not a good thing. seen pic rel too many times. just make sure to give them different grain (wheat, rye, peas, oats) - ground, must be ground, they digest it much better.
also - garlic and apple cider vinegar - fucking wonder stuff!
also - stay away from metal food containers, unless they are from stainless steel.

I'm jealous. I keep getting a subconscious suggestion to becoming a rancher or starting a farm is a good idea. But I have to kick it away as just an inclination from having played Harvest Moon while growing up, as I know no husbandry and have no way to obtain land.

People with benches like that look down upon wooden wedge set planes almost universally in my experience.

Such hammers do come in handy from time to time but really just tap the toe of the plane on the bench if you want a deeper cut, tap the heel if you want a shallower cut and grab what ever scrap of hardwood that is on the bench to tap the wedge back home. The hammers really become useful with the joinery and molding planes where the blade has to be lined up perfectly with the sole in just the right way, I use a jewelers hammer I got at an antique store for $5 myself but it lacks one thing the fancy plane hammers have, the head is long enough to reach over the iron which is kind of nice. Up until recently the only small hammers with a long enough head to reach over the iron of western planes were like the Wyle and expensive. There are some cheap options now, but they will never be mistaken for a quality tool, will do the job, just expect to have to tighten the head up a few times in the first years or replace the handle.

>>1603661
I like your bench better, much more practical, there is little I could not make on your bench, not much I could make on that shiny one. Leg vices suck for most everything but jointing wide boards, and he only has one row of dog holes which makes that fancy end vice kind of a joke. It is a joiners bench disguised as a cabinet makers bench and it fails at doing either well.

>>1603624
One thing I would do to your bench is wax the top well, that way you can use that nice end vice with its bench dogs to glue up panels without worry of gluing the panel to the bench, end vices with two rows of bench dogs like that are great for gluing up panels.

>>1606814
thanks for good words!
yeah, leg vices do suck :D that's why I did not bother with one
and yes, one row of dog holes is also lame.
tl;dr I actully sat down and went through various designs, then I binge watched shit ton of jewtube vids, and then for good measure I sat and thought. what I strove was a practical, common sense workbench, and as little fancy stuff as possible (as you pointed out - that fancy end vice - it just adds assload of pain in all orifices to make it... while functionally I saw now extree advantage over simple vice with dog holes in the jaw)
gotta give it to him though - that's mighty beautiful workmanship.
>>1606826
I try to avoid gluing anything without some cover underneath. the whole bench is oiled, I don't know how it would react now to waxing. although I might give it a try.
another reason is that I intend to make more tables, and one will be for assembly, so, I dunno...

>>1606881
*strove for

>>1606881
*saw no extreme advantage
...I do suck at typing though :D

>>1606368
Time for a new gf anon

>>1605980
First layer of matte black lacquer

>>1606881
The proper tail vice is kind of handy and can do some neat tricks, but that captive one just makes no sense to me, all it can do is move the dog forward and back, the fear of tail vice sag taken to the extreme of removing all function from the vice.

Wax and oil go well together, classic tool/work bench finish, take cheese grater to a block of bees wax, stir wax gratings into a large jar about 1/3 full of turpentine, keep adding until no more wax will dissolve in, then add a little more turpentine, double that volume with boiled linseed, stir well and let it sit for a week, give it a good shaking every day. I tend to throw in a few drops of pine tar as well, just because. Few coats of that and glue will not stick to your bench, just waxing it will do just as well, a coat or two of oil before does well for both since the wax only seals, does not really soak in.

nope, just sketches during work, as I mentioned before - it's a reverse engineered and designed/assembled using ideas and advice from multiple jewtube vids. you can do the same - dimensions? fuck 'em - just do what you feel you need, or as in my case - what my wood stock allows me.

Well, at least the kid got to experience a good water alide before the doctor slapped your old lady and tossed it for being inferior because of your genetics.


KEK. Kidding bro, if u do have kids that is.

>>1606368
Shit. You can be rural without doing 2 hours of chores a day. My wife has some sort of special snowflake show chickens. And I'm getting half a dozen goats to reclaim some land. Chickens go out during the day and most always run inside the coop at night so you can keep them safe easily.

Hell the goats don't even need fed. Not until winter at least. And even then a $30 bale of hay is all they'd need. I put a camera on the chicken and goat waterers and flush them out every day or 2. Well water so why not.

It sounds like a lot i guess but we don't do shit. I work like 15 hours a day and my wife cant even get up for work. Forget about chores.

I just like to fire a 12 guage in a beer while drinking a beer and pissing off my front porch.

Or show her this. I lit their house on fire and felt bad

>>1606324
Update: buddy of mine is giving me a ton of hot fencing, I’ll be getting Solar gear from Tractor supply and running it along some telephone pole posts that are already up at the property. Should deter the goats and alpaca. The previous owner was gonna put a couple cattle in there so there’s more than enough pasture space, just need a shelter for em and am currently looking at Cobb houses as a fun solution.

>>1608005
Cobb house? like cob house? like made from clay?
if yes, I'd would argue against it (did cob oven) - quite hard work, while wooden shed takes far less effort, simple to nail together and acts just as well.

>>1608008
Appreciate the advice dude. I have more carpentry stuff anyways.

>>1606909
Might have to. She sees rural living as a steep decline in quality of life because "it's so isolated" whereas I see that as a huge positive: No noise, nearest neighbour half a mile away.

I have a goddamn /diy/ dream acreage (quarter section, ~160 acres) with woods and creeks and she doesn't want to join me. She wants kids - there's even a school in the area - and I said I'll put 10 in her if she lives on the acreage with me, but still no.

not only that, cancer is removable.
surgeries to remove tumors are identical to the butcher just chopping out the gross bits and leaving the rest intact, only more careful.

tumors are the result of the immune system being unable to keep up with the destruction of cancer cells--which have been growing inside of you ever since you were born.
"cancer" is essentially just a state that categorizes how healthy your immune system is... which is completely irrelevant to anyone who would eat your meat.

My buddy and his wife live that exact life in the woods - raise animals, raise a garden, shoot guns in the range on property, he'll piss off the deck, she'll kill a chicken and make dinner. This woman isn't shy, she'll piss off the side of a fishing boat and we'll piss off the boat in front of her and she won't get phased, if anything she'll make a joke about your weiner.
A different had a gf with him for 10 years, and she went to the ends of the earth with him - living on boats, living in a van, then building a cabin on rural raw land by the ocean. And that didn't end because she was tired of it, no he was tired of sleeping with the same girl. (The fool)
Just saying, these ruralpilled women are only unicorns.

Pallets last forever because they are treated with all kinds of toxic preservatives, have you ever seen a rotting pallet? They don't exist

>>1606387
Does this work? I get sweaty hands

>>1609479
Um, pallets are disposable and get tossed after use for the most part, they are made from scrap wood and no care as to their rot resistance.

>>1609610
>get tossed after use for the most part,

nonsense. see this pic? do you think these are new, and they painted them different colors to look nice? I suppose there are some types of one-use pallets, but many if not most are used until they wear out, and they're not made of "scrap wood".

>>1609481
I found info on the internet saying it works with around 80% of the cases. You can make your own with a battery and two metal pans, mine has a rechargeable battery, timer and different intensity modes.

>>1609610
As the other fella said, products delivered to consumers on pallets are 1 use pallets and are not worth reusing. Palelts used between industries are in europe euro pallets and are made of good to very good wood and can last some time.

>>1609630
Those sorts of pallets are not the pallets you see for free, those are the pallets used in industry by warehouses and factories, places that deal with so many it is worth while to use better materials so they can be resused. The pallets we see on the street are made out of the bits of wood that are too short to sell or have a big knot in the middle, it is scrap wood and they make single use pallets out of it for all those businesses that do not get enough deliveries to warrant shipping them back, these are what we see on the street the vast majority of the time.

This wood is actually its own grade, it is pallet wood and you can buy it right from the mill all sized up for making your own pallets, it is one step up from scrap which goes to the chipper for landscaping or pulping.

What's the blade made of? Looks like a pretty nice knife.

>>1595902
Paper. Take some paper and glue a wing of paper to the sides of the rafter, fold the paper over across the gap and glue to the opposite side of the next rafter. Do this on every other segment. To cover the missing segments, glue an area overlapping the top of the already covered segments. Paint on some paper mache paste or plaster or something (I don't know what would work for this) to stiffen it up and texture it if you want.

>>1614576

the blade is made from a waferizer blade out of an OSB production mill. probably the hardest steel ive ever encountered, it takes ridiculously long to work
