Just finished some wire wrap jewelry: one onyx crescent moon with representations of Yggdrasil on both sides in 26ga titanium, and one quartz point with a nice 20ga silver cage wrapped around it. Pics might become available over the next couple days; already gifted both items, didn't take pics before.

my current project is tidying up my mind so the depressophrenia goes aways

replacing my oil furnace with a heat pump. I should get all refrigerant and electrical connections done this weekend, then its ductwork

Jerking off on adderall

Replacing garage doors.
Establishing new lawn
Running network cables throughout house

Building a HAM transceiver station.
CW version has been done for a while, but I need to get some 3 pole RF-rated relays so I can pull off SSB without having to put in extra circuitry, also need to get my hands on a spectrum analyzer in order to set up proper filtering and do pre compliance testing.

All in all pretty fun, but a lot of waiting for shipping

Please be extremely careful anon, a garage door spring can easily kill you if you aren't careful.

Building a mesh network with microcontrollers and SD cards

>>2471504
how's that?
I've got a project planned to build a mesh network by installing OpenWRT on a couple routers.
How would you do it with microcontrollers and SD cards? And why wouldn't you just use some Wireless Access Points or Routers instead?

Might replace a wall outlet this weekend. It isn't time critical and I don't have a replacement yet, unsure if I want to go to the hardware store, was a tough workweek for me.

Using a Wemos D1, loading a few arduino libraries and hacking it together. It’s mostly just for fucks but it’s kinda fun to have a LAN. It doesn’t connect to the internet, so everything is just soft access.

I'm currently trying to source LiFePo4 D/LR20 batteries, but I can't seem to find any in my country. I am taking this 12-volt D-cell battery project further.

Problems:
- Can't find LFP batteries.
- Can only get 1A with alkaline batteries so I hope LFP batteries will fix that problem too.
- Can't find LFP D-cell chargers with 12-Volt cigarette lighter plug anywhere in my country
- Need to find out how whether I can just make a row of 12-Volt cigarette lighter outlets and hook them directly to a large solar panel, or if I need to have any kind of regulator between that.

>>2471583
*I forgot, I am also going to try to get a car charger (12-Volt cigarette lighter) for my laptop, and directly charge the battery from the solar panel setup, that way I won't have to have a battery bank or inverter for that either.

cut off the bristles, smoothed it down, and plasti-dipped the end. instant vibrator

putting an aliexpress magsafe 2 cable on this
fucking 85e for a new one lol

>>2471588
That seems like it’s going to be really inefficient with no battery. You really should try to find a power bank. The ebay jumper bricks would probably work good if you can rig the solar panel to charge that, plus many of them have a 12V lighter outlet that can plug in, or you could buy a <$5 12V female lighter outlet thing, they often sell them with clamps on the other end, and wire that into a cheap jumper brick. Some of those bricks charge with a USB-C in, some of them are like 15V laptop power supplies going in, so you just need to make the solar panel out match whatever the jumper brick wants.~12V from a solar panel to a 5V USB could be done easily with a cheap USB car phone charger I’d imagine, or a buck converter.

I'm making a little foam and fiberglass boat right now.

After this pic was taken I cut all this back apart and made it so the prop shaft is at only 11 degrees to the bottom of the boat.

Junction box, the connector to the right is for long term outages, for a generator. Don't mind the shithole walls, that's just an attic

>>2472043
And the theme is industrial...so hardware exposure isn't such a tragedy. Could it be done better? sure

>>2471859
Nigger when are you going to get a stroke or something

Just put a 2 stroke on an old beach cruiser. I got it running, but I had to buy a new dual brake lever so I still need to pull off the old ones and re calibrate them. It's been fun, but taking longer than I anticipated just with other things taking up time in life.

>>2471934
Very cool. Definitely post some vids when it's all finished

i don't have one. i really need to weld my wood cart up though. maybe i'll do that tomorrow if i have time

i really want to see about making a mini speaker that i can plug in to a 3.5mm audio jack though. small, stereo, with its own power supply for amping up.

currently making a real-life nandroid (keep your mind out of the gutter) been a month-long project with many bumps along the road (added dress.png to help show the desired result)

A list of small bullshit. Just got done painting some scratches on the wall from moving, sanded and painted over some holes where a shitty old towel rack was so now I’m going to hang the new one, re-caulk the bathtub, then gotta figure out some pavers and gravel to clean up the front yard. Also down the list, I think for my birthday I’m going to ask the wife for this babby 7” table sae and a good blade so I can install a backsplash in the kitchen.

Need to build a damn workbench in this garage too.

>>2472115
Are you going blind? Tough draw there, anon.

>>2472144
That's not true. Industrial can utilize different materials to achieve that look. It's not concrete only. One could use metal,steel,copper,aluminum,concrete,wood,brick for example. Walls can be exposed brick, steel, normal drywall if mixing up separate styles(rustic,farmhouse,modern), etc
Sometimes tile is used like (penny tile) in bathrooms.
Floors can be wood, concrete, stone.
Decor can include usage of black pipe fittings which are seen everywhere, cooper, hammered metal, cast iron, antique hardware(gears,pallets,old machines) propellers, leather, etc.
I understand industrial, but I also have a budget and making things by hand stays within it.
>>2472246
Thank you very much

>>2470979
Bathroom cont..
I replaced the original vanity lights. Used common board, cut to about 30+" in length.
1/2" black pipe fittings
1/2" copper tubing and adapters
(4) weatherproof sockets and wired them
(4) Feit Electric (Amber tinted) Edison bulbs.

Repainted the laminate white cabinets..
-lightly sanded (150 grit) to create texture and painted them (Behr Summer Storm) Walls (Behr Shark Fin) for context.

>>2470979
Bathroom Cont..
I took down the original glass mirror.
Replaced with:
Common board & select pine.
-Started by lightly charring them with a blowtorch.
-Then stained with Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain (Ebony)

>>2470979
Had 2 spare metal rimmed mirrors to work with here.
This is the 1st one.
-They came with the roses on top which I cut off with a diamond bladed saw on an angle grinder.
-I then used wired bevel cups and a grinding disk to take off the paint and create an aged or distressed look to it.
-I also created artificial damage by taking out small chunks here and there.
-Then proceeded to drill holes (1" spacing) around the metal border.
-I used Internal Socket Head Cap Screws which I spray painted (antique copper and hammered black(speckled)

I dont think plasti-dip is body safe

>>2472781
>I dont think plasti-dip is body safe

but... you can dip tools in it that you use your hands for which means your body has to touch it.

once its dried and cured its perfectly safe.

>>2472784
big difference between externally and internally safe, your body can absorb things quite easily through orifices.

>>2472784
your hands =/= the inside your ass whole

>>2472785

unless you are leaving it in 24/7 I am sure its perfectly safe for a few mins of uhm.. internal use.

ok but dont get mad if you end up with ass cancer

>>2472796

ok, whatever you say

It’s for their own supreme branded stores. I consider it diy because you’d shit yourself if you saw how I have to make this shit.
It’s no factory, it’s basically a garage with some tools.
This sign’s gonna be going up in Chicago so I’m told.
Me and my coworkers make fun of my boss for not knowing what supreme is so we meme the fuck out of projects, so ignore the ‘bussin’’ it’s gonna say supreme in a few days.

>>2473333
A few threads ago I also showed a progress pic of a heart for Match.com/match group. idfk how my boss manages to get these high profile clients, but I'm digging it. It's challenging work and it all lands on my shoulders to actually complete. Very rad, I love my job.

I've seen pressed tin that looks like roof tiles before, but what the hell kind of coating is that on those panels? Looks like a bedliner/rubberized coating of some sorts?

Finishing the cooling setup on my maned wolf fursuit. It uses a pid controller to regulate fan speed with the temperature inside the suit.

>>2470979
Hanging steel shelves for my latest High Cube from hot roll 1-1/2" angle, 1" flat bar (cross braces) and 1/2 rod (torch bent hooks to use with the roof tiedown loops). Easy work even with a very bad back as I use tiedown straps to raise and control them during install.

Nothing touches floor and muh motorbikes etc fit nicely beneath. HCs have enough room I can walk beneath the storage (I'm 6'2").

I'm building a simple shelf for my kitchen. I've also been getting into macramé so now I have a fuckload of plant hangers and I'm starting some larger projects. It all started when my gf asked me to tie her up and I realized how fun it is to work with ropes. I have not been able to find a regular thread about it (rope bondage or macramé) on 4chan unfortunately.

gotta say, those mirrors look impractical af, tiny and right in the splash zone of the sink.
a week has passed, still satisfied?

Assembling materials to paint my 2005 Crown Vic LX. It has the widespread primer issue where the paint flakes off over time. It was only in a few spots when we got it 3 years ago but its spread exponentially in the last year. Waited too long to get it painted, and now places nearby are saying the materials alone will cost $8K. Cheaper just to buy all the equipment and do it myself. Going to use oil based enamel paint, the professional stuff is hundreds of dollars a gallon. I've spent weeks looking at every video I can about tractor paint and Rustoleum, and I'm becoming more confident. As long as I go slow and am patient, it should turn out well. Not expecting it to be perfect, but I will be happy as long as it prevents rust, which is the main reason I'm doing this. Pic rel is what I'm planning to do.

my car is mostly fixed now (only has a small running issue i'm going to hopefully get covered on the dealers 1 year warranty).

Holy shit. I can’t believe how straight these cuts end up using a miter saw instead of a circular saw. Had to notch the top and go around that bend by the fuse box and it still lines up.

Still more work to do. Need to move those cabinets somewhere else and I’m going to do 2 or 3 shelves under the left side of the bench. Right side will be for the trash can because there’s a cubby hole and the hot water heater back there. Right side of the bench is anchored into the concrete wall.

>>2476934
2nd kitchen upstairs? Why do you need one there, or two in general?

I have this detached garage that eventually got this car port added to it. For whatever reason they went thru putting up cement blocks, framing it, and roofing it and then just said fuck the ground. They left it totally untouched and it's completely unlevel so I'm digging it out and just adding stone in an attempt to level it. Seriously don't understand why they went thru the trouble of adding this just to fuck it up in the end.

>>2482699

>>2482699
because that how its done, you pour the floor last, they didnt get to it.

I use those cheap ass dollar store 1/4" tempered steel drain snakes and just fold/snap them to length...I've tried using the material from higher quality ones and they didn't sound as lively, something about the structure lets the cheap stuff resonate better.
When you snap them you can actually feel the material's crappy crystalline structure kind of crunch and delaminate as it fatigues and breaks.

You are getting fed shit on the paint etc. All the consumables to paint a car like that inside and out including bondo and sandpaper are well under 2k in ausfalia.probly half that in burgerstan .

that you spent unimaginable countless hours printing a perfectly square box and a few tiny brackets is the worst part of this project lol.
bit of dowel and a file could have made pegs like that quicker cheaper and better for environment and easy to paint.
i doubt you couldn't have bought a box cheaper too

>>2484368

Took it earlier to the grocery store with one of the kids and it's smooth as silk. My town is pretty flat. I had a multi-gear for about a year and got rid of it. Hated the damn thing.

>wtf is the box with the arduino actually doing - master sliders?
I currently set the first fader to the "weight" of the flashing curve, and the second one to the animation/movement speed.
The arduino itself act like an interface for the input devices: the PS/2 keyboard and the basic DMX console on the right. Both are plugged on the arduino (>>2484368) , used as a serial input (mapped to Onyx via Art-Net using Chataigne).
I had 3 fadders laying around so I added them because why not (but I fucking lost the third one).
>Onyx any good, advantages/not so hot at?
The free version is enough for me for now (limited to 1 universe), and it's easier to use than grandMA onPC (I'm still a beginner). It does everything I need, but I havent years of experience yet.
I might switch to grandMA OnPC in the future when I fell the need to or when I'm more confortable.
>personally maybe have split that setup into two flightcases, transport wise, but it maybe looks bigger than it is..
Yeah that was an option. it's about 1m20 long, not really compact. I haven't weighted it yet, but I added wheels on a side (>>2484360).
desu the first idea was no case at all, I just bring all the stuff and setting it up at the venue, but I had a lot of free time this summer to start this project.

The whole thing output art-net, which is listened and outputted by this raspberry pi node. That flight isn't DIY, but the raspberry pi + router rack panel is.
Next thing i'll do is throw an ESP-01 and a relay to my shitty for machine to remote control it.

Made 12 of these bait stations last night out of some surplus ammo cans that I got for $5 and some steel scrap and nails I had on hand. Plastic bait stations were around $15. These should last me the rest of my life, and be easier to change bait blocks out than the plastic stations that require a key to open.

I fell for the gatorskin meme too a while back. I'm still on the first tube in the front tire but after about two weeks I started getting flats on the rear one 2-3 times a week (Big city commute).

I'll build a table. Please pick apart my design.
For the top I have 28-30mm thick oak boards but I have to get them through a planer first and I hope I'll get at least 25mm at the end. I'll glue them together to get the top made and will then just coat it with teak oil.
The frame will be 40x40mm rectangular steel tubing welded together. The legs will get adjustable threaded feet (not pictured) so I can level it properly.
Do I need to add any more supports?

You need a lot of practice m8, that looks like pre-schooler work next to pieces from a thousand years ago, and those guys didn't have precision cutting and measuring tools like we do.

>>2488494
I had only been welding (self taught) for a month when I did those. I used a mig.
Do you really think they are terrible?

>>2488739
>Do you really think they are terrible?

nah, this is fine for MIG work.

>>2488751
you probably shouldn't weld on rust

>>2488739
For your particular sort of welding? I don't think so, but for the shapes you have cut out and the amount of them, etc... your design needs work, the art of your craft.
Those are fine introductory, proof of concept pieces but if you want something proud to hang on your wall it should be nearing picrelated or comparable.
I'm saying justify your advanced tools and "modern" trade against what men without electricity or even a steam engine did with basic hand tools.

>that size
Holy feck anon, maces are supposed to be a good deal bigger than a leather sap!
>1 month
Alright then stop, take a step back and do ssome study, literally just spend hours and hours LOOKING at maces from history, see their design and focus on how form meets function, but also I see with two of those (the one in your hand here and the similar from before) are not even following basic design principles, you need ayour spikes focused on the head in a spherical area, you will never hit your opponent with your shaft halfway down the weapon and if you do, you're robbing yourself of the whole point of swinging a lever to begin with.

>>2490097
>made
Made or cut it out of a piece of steel? Did you even use spring steel? Is this actually a serviceable blade or is it a heavy fancy letter opener? Weapons

>>2490242
*weapons aren't just a shape anon, they are first and foremost a material.

>>2490106
I don't think I want to apply a blow torch to a boiled linseed oil finish.

>>2490242
Just plain steel flat bars from Home Depot, not high grade. I think it was 1/16th in thickness and the width varied as I have 1" all the way to 3" wide bars.
For now, I use that until I become better. All of these items/weapons are the very first rendition, as in I've never made before but did so to become familiar.
>>2490240
I understand what you're saying, but I acknowledge historical interpretations of let's say a mace and then I make/create/design my own personal take on it.
I'm aware of maces, bludgeons, morning-stars, flails, war hammers, etc.
The smaller and larger types I make for practice and because I enjoy it.
>>2490288
Right on, I understand. Looks great.

Very creative by utilizing the saw blade! How thick is the blade? Any ideas on the handle color or anything?

I'm gonna build a go kart out of bed frames that my mom gets from storage units. currently I'm on step 1, gathering supplies, since the motor I was gonna use was seized up unfortunately.

oh by the way, is it possible to run multiple 4 stroke gas engines in series? It looks like the pull start on one of those things is on the back, so is it possible to replace the pullstart with another similar motor and then run them at the same time? sorry if this is a stupid question.

>>2470979
I made my own high end fuck doll. I filled up a scuba wetsuit with marmalade and Italian bread and sewed it tight. I then jbwelded a fleshlight to it.Then I used Magic Markers and a Coconut to make the head and face. Unfortunately, it came out looking like King Paimon and now i am too scared to fuck it.

Doin some yard work, needed to section off a couple areas around the house that had some gravel for drainage.

The little babby 7” wet tile saw worked great for cutting the bricks because the angle grinder forced me to get a mask.

Then returned all this pink marble because I wanted to do these big round decorative river rocks but they were expensive as hell. Gave in, went back to Lowe’s and spent $300 to cover like <50 square feet. But I think the big polished stones will look a lot better for years to come and I might as well spend the money since it’s finally my house and not a rental.

there's a chance the open front part of the wood could sag since there's no support under it
you might want to add another of steel to the frame, or at least conceal some c-channel in the under-side
this will also help prevent warping, some table makers put in 2-3
I think 3/4" (19mm) thickness would be fine

threaded inserts will make it easier to take apart and put back together again if that's a concern

The pressure washer? For the concrete driveway. I think the lady who owned this place before had a roommate or a daughter with a car that leaked some oil so I’m in the process of trying to pull some of that shit out. I got pic related and tried a small spot, seemed to pull some up, so I poured the rest of the bottle this morning and I’ll hose it off tomorrow or the next day and see if it’s worth a 2nd bottle or trying a different brand.

Pic related is like a real thick liquid that leaves a layer of dense white powder when it dries and I guess it just wicks the oil up slowly, so I’m not in a rush to hose it off.

>>2490964
It's concrete, not art.

>>2490965
Yea but that oil stain with a 4ft diameter looks like dogshit. If it were art, there would be vegan pussies throwing mashed taters at it too.

Also Home Depot is getting all the holiday stuff out right now, it’s going to be difficult not to buy some bullshit. I really want to get down on a router. I spent $400 on decorative stone the past 2 days so I need to be careful.

Protip- the Black Friday sales at Home Depot and Lowe’s are starting now. The last few years, they put that shit out the last week of October and the sales go through the end of January. That’s how I got this miter saw stand for free yesterday, they didn’t even have the display set up.

They will be sold out of some good shit by Black Friday.

>>2492311
I got 2x 8pks of these 6” long floating shelf brackets. So I’m doing some 2x10s and some 2x8s. They sell even more beefy ones but I think those shelves will be for lighter decor stuff.

One thing I didn’t anticipate, almost had to go back to Home Depot because I don’t own a 1/2” drill bit that’s 8” long. Ended up having to use a bit holder and 1/2” spade bit for the final inch and it was infuriating.

We’ll see how the shelves hold up, I’m just hoping they mount level. I figured there would be some pin or screw to keep the board on the post of the bracket, but they just slide on. Luckily with a 1/2” drill bit in regular boards, they end up fitting fairly snug so hopefully they stay on.

>>2492311
>>2492314
Also I went from “Special Walnut” on the last project to “Dark Walnut” on these shelves because it looked 3-4 shades darker in the store, but this shit seems so close. Maybe it’s the pine boards, I’m going to do a bunch of coats to match this dark funiture in the bedroom and hopefully I don’t need to go back for “Espresso”.

The little 8oz things of stain are $8 and the 32oz are like $11, so I always end up with the bigger one and then use that shit on a couple boards and have 3/4 a thing of stain sitting around forever.

Speaking of wives, we have lots of solid oak furniture and the wife wants it darker, but everything is curved and nice looking with lots of corners so I told her I’ll get her some sandpaper if she wants to stain that stuff darker. Sucks because the furniture is nice but that oak color is kind of 2005.

>>2492314
Ah the old bit and spade truck lmao I had to use that method to get starlink cable through the wall. But yeah those shelves should be fine. You could always drill a hold through the bottom and sink a screw through the wood into the bracket. But if it’s for light decor it might not be needed.

>>2492315
>oak
No good dude! I did oak everything in my first house around 2007ish and that shit was outdated by the time I got finished installing it.

>>2492321

darker wood tones never goes out of style. but the honey brown wood tones come and go.

>>2492321
>>2492323
Yeah that’s the issue. And it’s all really nice furniture, a lot of it came from this dude from Alabama who used to come up to Chicago and sell his stuff once a month at some goofy craft flea market place, and the kitchen table and everything is super nice solid oak as well as the coffee table and the TV stand. But like the 6 kitchen chairs all have intricate carvings and stuff and would be such a fucking headache to sand but I can’t toss furniture that nice. Unless I rent some huge sandblaster? But with 6 chairs, table, coffee table, end tables, two long tables, a couple corner shelving units, so it’s at least a dozen pieces of oak furniture.

>>2492327
There are stain solvents specifically for intricate details like that. I've seen them used on decorative front doors.

>>2492690
I got 2 of the little containers today because I wanted to get the shelves for the bedroom really dark. Goddamn was it thick, and I put it on top of the one I already hit with the regular stuff, so it ended up nearly black. It’s ok for that bedroom, but was unexpected.

>>2492690
>>2492768
Living room shelves with 3 coats of the “Dark Walnut”, and then the bedroom shelves just got a coat of Poly and that was one coat of “Dark Walnut” and then a coat of the premium “Ebony”. Would’ve gone with the “Kona” instead or brushed it real quick had I known how thick the premium shit was.

It did dry really fuckin quick though. It claims one hour, but it’s more like 4hrs and totally dry while the regular stuff really wants to dry overnight.

I rigged my computer monitor to be above my bed. So I can use a computer while lying in bed and looking upwards. I think a USB hub (if I have one and can find it) could be useful to set the monitor to connect to this laptop and not what it currently is connected to: a desktop computer.

>>2492775
Haha I think that is the Pillsbury doughboy face you carved on the left. The one on the right looks like a ghoul face (from Fallout video game series) that I carved in the past.

I admit, it is not as artistic as pic related (not mine). I wanted to go with something different than some dumb face carved into a pumpkin, and I was satisfied with my low effort, simple and different design. It was kinda fun to carve with a steak knife only.

I saw some images online of an upside-down pentagram carved into a pumpkin. What they did is make the cut out the non-line parts of the star, so the parts that were cut out were an inversion of what I cut.

(>>2492777 = further cut)

How long are you waiting (time-wise) until wiping off the excess stain?
How much pressure/force are you using when you wipe off the stain?
Are you using terry towels or simple wiping cloths?
Are you using a paint brush or foam brush to apply it?

Alot of questions, but they are very relevant. I use the Varathane Premium (Ebony) all the time.
