/diy/ - Do It Yourself

those bread shoes

>implying I've ever had more than $500 to spend on a project

why do you think I'm on here?

>>33737
dont you mean loafers?

i'd buy a rifle kit and put that bitch together

>>33748
or repair lcd tvs and such like the one thread a couple days ago. that was an epic thread

>>33744
You. Yes you.

You are awesome

>>33752
Are there any pictures or info from the thread? Sounds pretty awesome.

I'd probably spend it on a half-completed project.

I'd build a new computer.

i want to make a microphone dildo that i can put up my butt after i eat a jar of sourkraut. the first part of the recording will be the sound of all the fauna in my guts being killed and the second part will be the sound of liquid poo sloshing around in my colon. actually i guess it would have to be more of a miniature butt tampon thing so that my anus can close around it and keep the poop in. does anyone have any ideas on what i could put in my butt to record diarrhea being made? i've got a couple of shure mics, the magnets are about 1/2" diameter so i could probably get them in there if i loosen up with a dildo first but what would i put the mic in? it has to be poop proof but also still be able to record. does anybody have any experience with this? yes i'm serious, i'm an experimental noise musician/ performance artist.

I'd buy and fix up an old bike. It's something I've always wanted to do so yeah.

>>33827
bicycle or motorcycle?

>>33833
Bicycle. I doubt anyone could fix up an old motorcycle for 500$.

buy a beat up old rifle and restore her, with some ammo as well.

>>33748
>rifle kit
>500

go to /k/ and learn about guns please

A guitar.

walking clock

A crossbow!

>>33732
nice loafers

My latest obsession is building an htpc. The case is what I'm really looking forward to building the case. I'm thinking acrylic sheets and perforated stainless. That or gut an antique radio and dress it up, put the components inside.

I'd do the project I'm working on now.
Hookah made with rubber stoppers, 1 liter erlenmeyer flask, pvc tube, steel tube, hookah hoses, bowl and that's it. thus far if all goes according to plan I'm looking at under $80 for the whole thing.

>>33904
NEVER EVER EVER use pvc in ANYTHING you smoke from. i hope to god your joking

>>33921
This, exactly. Was just about to say it myself.

>>33921
I could use all steel tubing, not sure how well that would work out for putting the hose trumpets into, but I've seen instructions for Hookahs that have pvc in them.
you do realize at the point where I would have the pvc in the construction the smoke is already at room temperature, and it's only there to direct the path.

>>33928
>>33921
Why?

>>33931
with steel i have found it leaves a metal taste in your mouth after a while. use copper or brass. also doesnt matter, NEVER use pvc for anything related to smoking. that is, if you dont want an early grave.

>>33932
when heated it releases toxic chemicals. and with a hookah, i guarantee it will get heated no matter where its on the water pipe.

>>33732
making my apartment look art deco

>>33903
Gutting that antique radio would likely be the easiest route, especially if you gut a tube type. They were actually meant to be taken apart multiple times and put back together successfully.

>>33935
copper... I know copper gives off toxins that will fuck you up when heated, I'm disregarding everything you say.

>>33939
You know exactly what i want

>>33951
you retarded or somtihng? they use copper in almost all houses to supply you with both hot and cold water.

i suggest you stop being a retard, kid.

>>33957
and they don't use copper in pots because you'll get poisoning from it, if you're concerned that pvc is going to get so hot that it will release toxins, when it is also used to supply both hot and cold water without incident, than copper would be heated enough to be dangerous as well.

>>33951
also why dont you show me where it says that heated copper will release chemicals when heated? a source is needed, but i know you wont find one, try anyway so i can laugh at you

>>33961
correction, copper is used in cookware, before you jump all over me on that, but!!! it is never where it will contact food. for the afore mentioned reason

>>33732
>Build a go-kart from scratch
>Probobly one similar to pic, find a cheapy lawn tracktor snow blade for winter time too.

>>33961
but they do make copper pots...

>>33961
ohh for fucks sake kid, thats called copper erosion and takes place over the course of a lifetime, not something your shitty little hooka is going to develop.

so show me where people use PVC to supply drinking water, both hot and cold?

you dont know what your talking about kid. i see you know nothing, im out of this thread. you build your pvc hooka, just be sure to post on here when you are in hospital kid.

you would think with more than one person telling you how stupid you are, you would listen.

>>33973
I was going back and forth with using all stainless tube to make the hookah, I'll probably end up going with that.

>>33952
if I had less than $500, I would reduce my list down to this, and either make them myself or check out a lot of estate sales (maybe a couple garage sales):

>deco mirror (something big or tall, either straight on the bottom and rounded on the top, or something long, but either way make sure it has a heavy frame)
>tin posters and minimalist wall art (like old coca cola posters or just anything that looks like it's from the 30's)
>lamps
>solid color or minimal design bedding (like white with two black stripes on one side, or just solid black and white, or even a light brown would work)
>bookshelf/drawers (coordinate a shade of wood that goes with your other decorations and wall color)

then I guess I would just get rid of a bunch of shit and/or find places to put shit and the rest is up to your imagination.

>>33967
They have been using copper for hundreds of years when it comes to making smoking devices.

>>33967
oh really now?

>>33984
old pot, they used to put led in many things you don't want led in too, doesn't make it safe.

>>33986
Just stop it now. You obviously know nothing of what your talking about.

>>33732
Hobo stove. All it costs you is a coffee can and a wire hanger.

Tripfag makes himself look like a fucking idiot.

I recognise his trip from a thread on /g/ where he was again, made to look like a fool.

>>33988
fine that's cool you obviously know all I'll just bow before your wisdom.
Cough(cockmongler)cough

>>33991
What did you expect with someone with an emoticon as a name?

>>33986
They had LEDs back in the day? I had no idea.

>>33991
/g/? when?

>>33992
Not only are you a passive aggressive little bitch, your also cocky. When people with experience give you advice, you take it, not trying find fault and then act like a cunt.

Fuck off, you dont belong here.

>>33973
Calling someone "kid" to sound condescending really makes you look like a bit of a fuckwit.

Just saying.

>>34004
difference between you and me is i dont give a fuck, kid.

also i called him a kid because he is acting like one. also the smiley thing as his name. also the fact he didnt research this project enough and was going to poison himself.

>fuckwit
>cunt
etc

Sup, fellow ausfags.

>>33981
the key is black/white, solid pastels, and wood.

lots and lots of wood.
>also try to arrange so it gives the illusion of more space in the room(s)

>>33982
People also used lead to make pipes.

That doesn't make it a good idea.

>>34029
copper hookahs are still used and made today, do some reaserch before you post and make a fool of yourself.

Install a TARDIS facade in the place of my bedroom door.

>>34039

Greatest idea ever.

chocolate filled aquarium

custom fingerbox

maybe some sort of fancy briefcase for my smaller/more used tools and paint, I would look all posh and swanky with a briefcase that has shelves etc that expand out of it when opened.

alternatively, a mobile work-station, so that I can do small things around the house without having to drag a table over or losing tings down the sofa cushions.

I would make a snorkel for my truck that is better than my current.

some times I need twice the airflow.

>>34118
If you lower the angle slightly and maybe slit the tip you might improve airflow. I did a similar project but was limited by minute straws, so I had to modify slightly. I hope it works out for you.

>>33732
thanks for the advice man. Ill try it out tommorow and post pics!

>>34131
>>34118
>>34115
This is why this board will have nice things.

>>34174
At least it's not truck nuts.

>>34036
Someone's mad.

I would make almost $500 dollars.

I would go down to the local goodwill and buy a solid(ish) mountain bike with a lot of space in the v-frame.

Then I would order a one-cylinder, two-stroke engine for that bike with all the mounting hardware (they sell kits on ebay) and maybe a shiftkit.

To be on the safe side since these are chinese engines, I'd order extra engine internals since I'd most likely do a complete tear-down and overhaul on the engine the day I receive it to make sure everything works; even a carburetor rebuild.

And voila, you've got a fun street legal* motorized bicycle!

tl;dr: Buy cheap chinese bicycle engine kit on ebay, possibly shift kit/transmission (for gas mileage), and bike if you dont have one already. Buy engine internals just in case. Make cheap fun motorized bicycle.

*= legally, this counts as a "motor assisted" bicycle, since you have to pedal it to start the engine. So you dont have to register it or get your M class or all that good stuff.

A nice desk.

>>33732
Workbench. God I need a fucking workbench.

This thread needs more bread clothes.

>>35027
That isn't actually true in many states.

>>35027
Why the fuck would you choose 2 stroke over electric?

>>33996
I would build this faggot a box to hide in.

cnc machine

>>35062
I rikey your thinking

DAFT PUNK HELMS BECAUSE DAFT FUCKIN PUNK HELMS

A better version of this, with mod lighting and room for a pair of stacked monitors

>>35081
Putting a toilet and a minifridge in mine.

>>35038
In tex-ass it is; I heard its legal (or at least grey area) in most of the northeastern states.

>>35040
Because I'm more familiar with mechanic work than electrical work. I also would rather mix oil & gas every 150 miles (or more, depending on tank capacity/# of gas tanks) instead of waiting for a charging battery. Ultimately, its because I enjoy working on engines.

>>33778
I'm pretty sure if you want to record sounds originating in your gut, putting a microphone in your ass is very inefficient.
I'd suggest you fix a microphone (or even better several ones) on your belly somewhere. I'd imagine the sound you get that way is much less muffled, actually.

Also, either write Sauerkraut or translate it correctly as sour cabbage.

>>35081
that shit prolly gets as hot as tits

>>35568
air con bra, you dig?

Do some home brewing - use leftover cash to repair a vintage solid state receiver. Get some speakers from the 60s.

>>34036
you're a fucking idiot, any modern copper cookware made today has a tin, nickel, stainless steel lining.

Pure copper is bad for you

>>33951
>mfw I've played copper trumpets

you dumbass. Time to change your trip code.

>>35622
>Trumpets
Must be a spic.

>>35622

yes because you often play heated trumpets made of 100% pure copper. It's usually either a copper alloy or at least lined with something else dumbass. lrn2highschoolchemistry

>>35627
You have got to be fucking kidding me dude. I am not even mad.

>>35630
I don't think you realize, I am from the sun bro.

>>33967

>>33951

My entire house is plumbed with copper pipe, yes the hot water line. What do!?

>>35633
So that means you're a spic?

>>35640
Call a plumber to replace them and ask to keep the pipes and take them to a steelyard to get dosh.

>>35642

My dad is a master plumber.jpg and its his house!

>>35098
Plus you get a way better sound out of a two stroke. No shitty electric whine.

>>33732
i would build a rifle.

maybe a black powder, and a black powder revolver would be cool.

or just build a .308 or something from scratch.

>>33732
It's called "Project: Pay My Bills"

>>35677
Exactry. Plus, since it's just a simple 2stroke one cylinder engine, its cheap to repair/tear down & rebuild if something does break.

2 stroke exhaust smell > hearing electric whine err'wher you go

weed closet

a 3d printer

I would so build a Turkey Coop!! Then I can grow turkerys all year!! We just ate a 46 pounder.. That I grew, was awesome!! But with our set up, we can only grow in the summer!! Would love to have a hen and tom to keep making babies for us to eat :) But then I need a turkery coop!!

>>33973

OK listen up son,

PVC pipe is used EXTENSIVELY in water pipes in most houses built from the 80's on.

yes BOTH hot and cold water pipes.

Just go look under a few sinks if you doubt me.

bump

>>36501
Well look at you.
Your just as dumb as a bag of hammers.

>>36501
you dont smoke from sinks, kid

a desk. would only cost ~$75
two benches

From art classes, I would still doing things myself just with guidance

I would start my long dreamed of yurt project.

>>36501
Nope.

Contractor here. I've never used PVC to direct water at any temperature if someone's going to use/drink it. We use PVC to direct waste from your toilet. We use PVC to direct condensation buildup in your heat/air conditioning systems. Not for much else. Drinking water? Copper.

Bread shoes.

>>37921
How about PEV? I have only seen it in larger sizes, it's what I make hula hoops out of.
