/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Made a crash bandicoot mask, all i have to do now is find some colorful feathers and attach them to the top

Made this monstrosity out of scrap and leftovers

>calling an aku aku mask a crash bandicoot mask

>>997754
Cool love it!

Oh and this coffee table.

I fucking suck at woodworking.

>>997764
It looks alright. Too bad you couldn't use the same size board all across

Made this for fixing old Tube radios.

>>997863
and this 10 amp regulated DC power supply.

>>997865
A remote controlled power strip that can switch between 3 different 1 amp outlets, using the controller from an old remote controlled fan.

>>997866
A small single ended stereo tube amp.

Finally finished off the axe yesterday

Now I've got to get back to finishing off a couple of kitchen knives.

>>997756
somebody would have just called them needlessly pedantic if he referred to it otherwise, it got the point across.

earbud wrap. I just took a model from thingiverse and chopped off part, forgot to round the corner

knuckle dusters. The shape is staying simple until I get dimensions that feel good. I have 8 minor variations about to print so that I can try the various sizes

>>997962
>this kills the cable

>>997963
fillet the edges and contour the palm part so it's easier on the hands

>>997986
I've been using it for a few months and haven't had any issue with the cable.

Yup, it's going to get a better grip once the size is right. I suck at modeling right now so I don't want deal with resizing after the bevel is added.

>>997756
>not calling it a woogala

>>997963

>>997963
Are you retarded? Look up a set of brass knuckle dusters - they are. that shape for a number of reasons.
The curved bottom fits in the palm and spreads the impact so you don't break bones. The individual 'knuckles' act as a point of force to break bones.

>>998073
*your bones
the other guy's bones

>>998073
Are you? I already it's not done. I'm not adding contours until the size is right. I'm basing it on this design I found

These tables.

>>998674
dayum

>>998674
I like the legs, though they don't fit in with the rest of the design. That said, it doesn't look finished, so I'll judge later on.

>>997922
Lovely. What wood did you use for the handle? Ash?

>>998695
this

>>998290
>thank you for purchasing a nignog

>>998705
I laminated a section of Hickory- which is a great shock resister on the inside edge and there's a length of African Wenge on the outside edge which has some pretty awesome compression properties. Both are stained black and then I did 5 coats of 2-pack polyurethane over the top, its also got cotton thread around the handle and near the top that I did a coat of epoxy over and sort of bulks it up. Then did the leather bind over the top of that.
Rest of the inlay and counterweight are brass. Head is 5 x layers of 1095 and 6 x layers of 15N20, has a really nice 'ring' to it.

Sort of happy with the finish, think in hindsight I might have done a few things different in looks, but overall really happy how it handles- really swings very nice and quite controllable with 2 hands (its a bit over 3ft long)

>>998674
Dem tables!
Make sure you give us an update when that's stained and polished.

Homemade capacitor charger with voltage control and hysteresis to avoid fast comparator oscillation when the capacitors are fully charged.

I kinda fucked up because the duty cycle is 60% and I can't change it unless I rip some traces, but anyway, works fine enough.

I made that flower pot foundry from the other thread. It turned out breaddy good. Haven't melted anything down yet. I'm still waiting for a crucible to be delivered (I couldn't find any old fire extinguishers).

>>998839

That video made me very nervous

This is the first project that I've made so far, as I'm a complete beginner when it comes to making things.

I don't think I did too bad. I know it's not an original idea, but I was hoping this would get me into eventually making more complex things.

It may not be pretty, but it works, I had fun, and learned stuff.

>>998946

>>997869
>>997866
>>997865
>>997863
pretty neat anon

>>998946
I also made a fight stick. I was gonna use a Tupperware container but I like working with wood

>>998946
pretty cool
Personally, I think it would look cool in a metal box like >>997869
But its up to you.

>>998946
Not bad. Are you planning on making another case for it?

>>997727
Have you guys seen this kind of PC setup before

Made a thing out of bocte

>>999090

>>999093
Idk why that one posted sideways rip

>>998899
Nah, if your hands are dry you can touch the capacitors without problems, if you have sweaty hands it could burn you, but it isn't that dangerous.

I'm wanting to eventually make another one sometime (maybe for the SNES). It might be a while before I start on another, though.

Unfortunately, I've been working with a limited amount of tools. I need to put aside a small budget for more/better tools.

Some titanium (or magnesium idk) rings I made. Someone broke a tool probe at work and the tip was a ruby so I set it in there. Super glue. I know. These is just a prototype.

I made this back when i was in middle school, the wood part at least.

I made a coffee table

I made several shirts.
Inhaling liters of chlorine a fun

>>999711
Neat! I'm gonna try this

>>998889
Ive made the same one. Muffin pans work well to make ingots with

Made this in high school.

>>997727
I made this shield.

>>999685
This is what happens when you spend too much time on pinterest.

>>1000198

Please no bully...I had just bought a house and needed a cheap and stylish table...

I made a fid from a fid-shaped clamp I had laying around.

And then I spliced a rope. The eyelet wasn't tight enough to stay in there, but it helped my form.

>>997731
that's fuckin awesome. ive got an african mask in my bathroom right now, id trade it out for aku aku in a heartbeat.

no idea what the precedent for selling ~copyright shit like that is

>>998290
Do people honestly think cops, a judge, or a DA won't consider these a weapon because they don't look like the brass knuckles on tv?

Today I finished my first real project ever, a small wooden box for my duduk (an ancient oboe-like instrument)

Really happy with how everything came out, especially the leather binding and cotton interior

>anime triggers me
>better browse 4chan

>>1000783
Fuck off mate, this was discussed a thousand times already. 4chan was based on a nip site, but it had containment boards since forever.

And we still have those, so please, go back to /a/, /mlp/, or /lgbt/.

>>1000791
Well that's too fucking bad.

>>1000778
DONT BULLY THE WEEB PLS

>>1000791
>implying /diy isn't the containment board.

>>1000826
Well, not really. I don't remember seeing this stuff offending anyone before /diy/ was made - partly because the volume is so low.

Someone calculated the post volumes of several boards some time ago and the result was that /b/ dominated the site's traffic (duh), followed by /pol/ and /v/ & /vg/. The biggest anime-related board, /a/, was pretty small in comparison and lost to several other non-anime boards. Based on traffic, this site is thus dedicated mainly to inane garbage, general discussions, nazism, racism and video games. Mongolian paintings are just a decoration.

I built a ramp and a board to fit a cat flap in a window so our cats can come and go

>>999685
Nice table, anon.

I havent got any photos but I just made a planter box so I could put some strawberry lants in, two garden benches, and a garden stool

>>998674
I dont believe you

>>998900
Nice!

>>1000856
Cute

does my PC count? or is that more /g/?

project 1/5 i found something like it and tweaked it for the tools i had/could afford

project 2/5 I had some new tools to play with so i made something I thought I could use and freed up some space in my cabinets

Project 3/5 didn't really like how this turned out. I wanted to make 4+ and go wild and make a coffee table out of them but I didn't like how this one looked so I made it a general purpose box for larger tools (sander, jigsaw, angle-grinder etc.)

project 4/5 something I finally needed a workstation that doubles as support for my tablesaw. going cheap i built it out of what I had and what was affordable, a good slab of 3/4'' plywood made a table for my workstation and another table for a drill-press and router with a couple 2x4s for support

http://imgur.com/a/AQ1mR

I made this back in December. It looks like crap, but hey, I made it.

5/5 what i'm kind of working on currently. putting together a prototype with scraps/what's cheap since I'm having to make this for a god's honest client as a wedding gift

For the inner pieces of wood you could probably get away with lighter/thinner timber and more of them.
Plus if you chamfer the edges it'll also stop blowouts/splinters

>>998839
do you have a schematic?

>>1000424

having one of these is just as having a kubotan, which are also legal.

>>1000872
What don't you believe?

>>998674
Whatsup with the boxy bits at the ends on the bottom?

>>1000428
Are you going to get a nice piece of HD foam to keep those reed things cosy?

>>1001065
>TFW you discover mortising machines exist

>>1000777
The rhubarb leaf is part of the forming. Here it is striped.

>>1001021
well this is just an example, i'm routing the edges down to make it rounded and using threaded rods/washers/nuts to hold it together. I agree the hard edges and rope that's in this example sucks and probably wouldn't hold very well

>>1001011
nice, I like how high you have it. Honestly i wanted to put mine up higher too but my wife's short so I had to have it more accessible to her. It sucks because everytime I get up from the table and I have one of the long handle pots on the end I usually hit my head on it.

>>1001033
That's what I plan on doing, and running through a threaded rod through them instead of rope to give it more strength

>>1000968
that is like assembling some ikea shit.

>>1000532
my god what a pain in the ass time wise that must have been. Looks cool as shit anon, I'm stealing this idea for my 'camper'.

>>1000984
Show a photo of the whole room. This seems like it would make the kitchen feel cluttered.

>>1001081
even better, you can build one youself

>>1001077
I considered it, but I decided against it in the end. If it was a case made for transporting it then I probably would. I might make one of those later. For now this thing just sits in my room.

Also, it's important for the reeds to be able to dry out after playing, and I'm not sure I would want to keep them in a tight environment like that. Definitely something to consider in the future though, thanks for the comment!

>>997731
This is the finished mask i made

>>1001281
This is excellent.

Made these about two years ago out of beats

>>1001303
Also made these quite recently out of 11$ headphones and earmuffs

>>1001283
Thanks a lot man!

>>1001303
what do you do with them?
do you put them on and walk with a phone before your eyes?

>>1001303
What is this shit even

>>1001281
I am so jealous. I'm saving the image and will make sure not to forget the concept if I have a chance to recreate it. Could you share bits on how you created it? I'm a complete lurker and amateur.

>>1001196
It's honestly not bad, I have a tiny apartment in new England with two kids. Luckily the landlord owns his own construction company and when told him my idea of making a little shop in my basement storage he was impressed with the idea. He comes to me for basic maintenance around the building and I get a good deal on rent.

>>1001281
That looks really good, anon.

>>1001336
Haha thanks a lot man, i am going to make 3 more, since everyone seems to like them i will make a tutorial on how to make these masks.

I bet this thread will be 404'd by then but i will do my best, if its archived before i finish the tutorial i will create a thread with the mask as pic, and explain everything in detail with pictures.


Thanks everone for your compliments, it means a lot!

I will probably be done with the tutorial this saturday.

>>1001697
awesome!

>>1001703
Thanks! Trying to make more stuff more manly but I don't even know if guys would be interested in crocheted bags desu

I would if it is sturdy enough. Maybe if it's made from hemp or linen the hippie crowd would be pleased.

Anyone here who knows if i would get in trouble selling these things?
I bet it is copyrighted, how does this work?

>>997727
I made this notched straight edge (it's for working on fender scale guitars) from some old kitchen counter trim I had laying around, the tools I used were a sharpie, a file and a dremel tool, you can do it without the dremel but it is quicker with it, making this saved me $81.76 (see link to StewMac for full horrific price) and took all of half an hour to make!

>>1001856
Is it an exact copy of a mask already in use by a company or person?, if so then provide a link so we can judge.

A direct copy of a company logo or emblem will probably get you in hot water but a generic mask sculpture will not unless as stated it is a VERY close copy of one already in use.

>>1001889
Please ignore my last post, I just found it online and I say you'd be in big trouble if you tried to sell these, you might be able to give them away as gifts or maybe trade them for other good's rather than money but you will never make a business out of them.

Nice work by the way anon!

>>999066
Nice posters, how's high school?

>>1001856
You could probably get away with selling them anywhere but on the internet. At least, for a good while, before anyone connected to Sony, Naughty Dog, or Crash Bandicoot stumbled across it. Then they'd probably just hit you with a cease-and-desist letter rather than sue you, because the suit wouldn't be worth the cost to them. Fucking awesome job, by the way!

>>1001829
Not something you want to make, I've done it to temporarily jerry rig something, but go to a junkyard and pull one off a car. It'll cost you 35$ and no liabilities. Some shit I don't bother making myself.

I forgot to add, keep in mind the duty cycle of that circuit is 60%, and it should be run at less than 50%, so the 555 or the transistor clusterfuck part will need to be modified.

Still needs some lacquer

>>1000002
Hagrid is that you?

>>1003176
Ergonomics are often the reason given for using a mechanical keyboard, yet the keyboard you've made entirely denies those principles. You can talk about tactile benefits all you want, but when you have shit for wrist support, that all gets thrown out the window. Your keyboard becomes an abomination of form over function.

I made this subkick mic thingy. It wasn't rocket surgery, I just sourced the components and put it all together to look nice and function. It sounds triffic.

>Ergonomics are often the reason given for using a mechanical keyboard
I can tell you that whoever claims that mechanical keyboards are "more ergonomic" doesn't know shit about what they're saying.

Not to say that there aren't some mechanical keyboard designs that aren't ergonomic (see the ergodox or some keyboards from matias as prime examples), but you'd still get better results by using the same form with a membrane, since mechanical keyboards are by design tall as shit.

Mechanical keyboards are a pleasure to use, they're far more durable than traditional membrane keyboards and also highly modifiable, but whoever claims that they are more ergonomic than a flatter membrane keyboard is plain out wrong.

I don't know if crocheting/amigurumis count as DIY, since all you're doing is repurposing balls of yarn.
But here we are. Kyuubey and a Tachikoma

Im in the process of making a bottle cap catcher with a bottle opener, but I had problems with staining it today.

I left it on for about 3 minutes like the instructions said but when i wiped the wood down to remove the excess stain some of the stain came off and you can see the original wood color, whats going on? Is it that I put too much pressure on the wood when I wiped it down or the kind of rag i used to wipe it down. I used the blue shop towels that you get at auto zone.

Image not related to the post but related to the thread

>>1003446
That's actually pretty good.

>>1003446
Kyubey turned out great, love it

Made a stand for a kitchen knife out of some leftover bits I had from doing the handle- except the Hickory which I had from another project
First time heat-bending timber and I can't say I'm great at it, but learned a fair bit from doing it

>>1001856

Damn. I'm not buying another tripod again.

I made this today. I totally amazed at how well it performed. All it cost was a few rivets and stove pipe tape. The rest was left over scrap or actual trash. The amount of fuel you use (twigs) is ridiculously low.

>>1001856

Most of the time those are okay to make and sell because, "art". Take a look at stuff that is sold at conventions and you get the idea.

>>1003801
Nice, I got on a real wood stove kick a while back, did some hardcore research into it. Ended up building a top lit updraft stove (well rather several until I got the ratios and everything correct), but those rocket stove types are pretty neat too.

>>1003820
>top lit updraft stove

I know the forced air gassifier stoves burn the cleanest of any biomass stove. Rocket stove comes in second. I've been thinking about making one of those small forced air gassifiers out of tin cans. They are very compact. But, I need them for camping and forced air requires electric. Non-forced air TLUDs normally use a lot of fuel packed into them and I only need a little bit of fire that burns up all the fuel by the time I'm done cooking. That gives it a quick cool down time too so I can hit the trail agian.

Wasn't really worth the time put into it, but it makes for a good decoration on my wall.

First knife i made stock removal. I'd post a more recent one but im an idiot and i started a shitload more knives and havent finished any of them yet

No doubt a bunch of issues on this, but it works fine for what i need. Its just a simple chefs knife. 1095 carbon steel blade.

>>1003911
1095's a nice metal, if you're doing a lot of blades make yourself up a jig like this one-

>>1003944
im a lazy ass so i just use a bench sander
I didn't do enough research on my sander though, found out its for wood. It has metal sticking out on either side of the sanding belt so it makes it a huge pain in the dick to sand a lot of stuff right. It even restricts my bevels on most knives.

I made this quilt for a babby cousin.

Repairing guitars is what got me into woodworking. I would suggest start with one aspect, learn that, then another aspect. There's plenty of sites that sell kits with all the parts but you can avoid the more complicated accurate type things like cutting fret slots, refretting a neck etc that also take specialty tools.

Check stewmac.com

>>1003663
I probably could, a 1mx1m piece of Kevlar is around $50 here. I'd probably have to buy special thread but it looks like I could use my sewing machine and a jean needle. Looks like it only comes in 1 color which is a yellow. I'd probably charge another 50 for the time and effort and depending on the weight of the finished product it could be another $20 to post.

>>1004072
At least you can do handles and stuff on it, the longer belt sanders with a slightly narrower profile are what most people recommend with a sander. Better wear, less heat and come in a fairly wide variety of grits.
Sort of have a love-hate with them.
>I love they do a lot of work so damn quick
>I hate that they sometimes fuck shit up beyond repair!

Mainly I like files simply because I can 'see' exactly where the materials being removed and mashing it up against a belt is a guesswork thing sometimes, but that said the belt/linisher has its place especially for the finer grinds and polishing

you made a stick?

Built a fully operational turret from scratch.

Specifically engineered to protecting the remaining humans against house cats.

>>1003176
That's cool anon ! The case is a bit big for my taste, but if it works for you then congrats !
I also want to build my mech on of the days. I have very limited access to a laser cutter and maybe I can have my dad CNC me some aluminium case...

Also I don't have anything diy to show that's recent, so I'm gonna shamelessly repost my arcade cabinet from 2 years ago, sorry !

made this from a old locker front

I made this winebox for a friend's wedding, cherry and spalted maple

>>1004933
Really interesting bit of maple, I like how the heartwood is still there in a semicircle. Nice job on the joints too

Nigga just right click on it and press one of the rotate image buttons

>>1005341
It's an iPhone thing.
Instead of rotating the jpg it saves meta data in it that says how much to rotate it.

Then 4chan strips the metadata

v.nice pots anon

>>1003806
I had a small tin to put them in but I like the wrap a little bit more

>>1000424
No clue. I'm doing it because it looks cool, not for carrying around. But perhaps it skirts some particular definition of brass/plastic knuckles.

>>1000035
Is it for style or are you going to whack it to death with the axe?

>>1005327
looks good. Good luck if you ever have to move it though

Made this, damn all my production stuff took a full desk, now i can travel around my flat with it.

>>1005415
thanks man, an yea gots to be careful lol

>>1005425
Reminds me of the Y-Cube that was made back then on AOTS(when G4 was still a network).

did you make the damascus yourself?

>>1004933
if you rub glue into the joints then go over it with sandpaper the gaps go away

>>1000982
So much room for activities!

>>1005828
Yeah about 2-3 years ago now a friend had a garage, one slow weekend instead of mucking around on cars we made a dodgy forge and threw a few billets together out of 1095 and 15N20.
>Lot of smashing red hot stuff with a sledge hammer for hours on end and other various primal shrieking
He does SCA stuff and wanted a some for a sword and dagger, I made an axe and a couple of smaller blades out of the remainder. It was fun, probably wouldn't do it again as its a fucking shitload of work!

I am the guy with the blue garage.

There was no access to the attic in said garage, so I made one.

(1/4)

>>1005908
(2/4)

>>1005909
(3/4)

>>1005908
Just reminded me that we have an attic in our garage. Gremlins cursed our garage with shitloads of problems so I am not as venturous as you.

>>1005911
(4/4)

>>1005912
Hence why I made the access. My neighbour has birds and vermin very obviously coming in and out of his attic, and I want to prevent that.

Also, for checking ventilation and structure.

>>1004089
Sorry for such a late response, I'm not a /diy/ native.

A quilt has three layers: the top (fancy patchwork goes here), the batting (works like insulation), and the backing.
The three are connected by quilting, which is sewing through all three layers, and a binding, which goes on the edge to prevent fraying.

Regular blankets are typically one, thick layer.

https://youtu.be/8wrUTwymn08

This video explains more about the construction of a proper quilt.

Had some problems with the sun being an intrusive motherfucker when I was busy shitposting but I still want some natural light to come in so I made these to spread the light a bit so I don't go blind.

Was a bit of a sloppy job but with only a jigsaw, some chisels and a stapler, I got the job done.

>>1004940
waw i can't make it but i buy immediately

>>1003199
Wrist support is not ergonomic, there is no possible wrist support that will not put pressure on your carpal tunnel. Every typing expert ever will tell you that when typing you should at most rest your elbows, never your wrists.

The only things I've made recently have been storage units for my garage made of bits of pallets - as such, they look like shit.

>>1003199
No idiot, ease of touch typing, superior feeling and quality of switches is. Light, easily actuated keys also let you dance across the keyboard without needing full support for your hands.

"Ergonomics" in keyboards is pure compensation for bad habits. It's a while different philosophy, both of design and use.

Stone carver here.
1/2 cleaning up cracked material

>>1007225
2/2 Finished situation. Hand carved limestone, Sorry for not posting actual work pics.

Been surprisingly busy lately. Made a airbrush cleaning jar with tutorial. Better yet you only need 3 hand tools to make one.

http://jokenkosto.blogspot.fi/2016/06/cheap-and-fast-airbrush-cleaning-pot.html if you are interrested about making one.

>>1007229
Also a while ago i made adjustable power supply for myself based on tuxgraphics power supply.

30V 2A and portable design.

>>1007230
And password keeper for myself. Because you want to use secure passwords but who can remember something thats 24characters long. So i have now passwords saved in the device and i can get them with couple clicks.

So far been using it every day. Granted it's not as secure as possible but way better than having your passwords on a paper or text document on computer/phone.

Passwords themselves are not shown on the device screen and the text for each password can be customized to show what ever you want. Email, Computer, Laptop, Game whatever you want.

Also the device is protected by 4 number pin. Later i will make some kind of lockout method after x amount of tries and even deleting the passwords from the device after enough wrong tries.

Here is demo video also:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY5LAmCJ1NU

>>1007236
And case for it. Made out of acryllic.

Dimensions 48x34x16mm or 1.87x1.32x0.62inc

>every state is as shitty as commiefornia

yeah no

>>999102

Thanks for that video. I haven't laughed so hard at a screen in a while.

Just as well he's electrically resistant or that might have ended up being snuff!

>>1000424

On a keyring it looks harmless enough.

I think you'd have to point it out to most cops and all judges.

>>1007236
Actually it's way less secure than storing your passwords in a document on a phone, because your phone uses encryption hardware that's been designed by experts and rigorously tested, and your device does not.

>>1007370
>>1007236
In addition, a phone using Google Authenticator never releases the password to anything anywhere ever, and instead generates ephemeral keys that are only valid for thirty seconds.

Authenticator is an open standard, and you can use it with any decent online service. You can also use it with PAM to secure your Unix machines.

>>1007370
>>1007372

Ye, also not everybody people use android/apple devices. Not everybody use pin/shape code on their devices

Not saying it's secure. Ofc if somebody wanted in it they would get in, there is also security issues with services and devices manufactured by big companies.

Also while you have your passwords on mobile phone screen while you write them, people could still peek your password.

Not any means secure on:
-Hardware side
-Military standard
-Industry standard

But much better than staring at the list of passwords you store under your keyboard or on your phone and writing keys manually. Also much safer than using same password on every service.

>>1004892
what exactly am i looking at and why are some of those bent?

>>1007228
very nice.

>>1007376
Rubbish.

I can steal your doohickey, and I've stolen all your passwords. It literally just gives them to me.

You steal my phone, and you got nothin: you can't get in without my finger, and I've wiped it remotely anyway.

I made these rails. Pro tip, I'm a fabricator.

>>1007556
Here's an aluminum gate I fabbed, I can dump more stuff, but it's mostly structural steel and that gets boring fast.

>>1000998
Saw those chairs on American Grit! Bad ass!

>>1007557
I guess uniform welds isn't a big thing for you.

>>1007536
So your philosophy is "build your threat model by addressing obscure threats and pretending simple and obvious threats don't exist"?

- >>1007236 leaves his device unattended for 60 seconds
- some guy plugs it into his laptop, or his OTG phone, and presses all the buttons
- some guy has now stolen all >>1007236's passwords, and >>1007236 doesn't even know

Adding OTP to his accounts and devices (it's supported by Mac, Windows, Linux, and every decent online service) would have taken less time, cost no money, and (instead of introducing brand-new vulnerabilities) provided protection from the kind of attacks that actually happen.

>>1004930
Looks dope, where the hell did you find the locker?

>>1003944

I just use an angle iron with a hole tapped for a bolt on one side. I can adjust the angle of the bevel radically with a turn or two and I just use a pair of molegrips/locking pliers to hold the blade on while I slide it along the table of the grinder.

Essentially free, works well, you can flip the blade over in seconds and it provides a heatsink so you need to dunk the blade less often.

Top tip is use ceramic belts, knock the edges off the bar with an old belt, then bang on a crispy new one for the actual material removal. Cuts faster and cooler than Aluminium Oxide belts.

If you can afford them and you can source them for your grinder, buy some trizact belts to reduce the amount of handfinishing you need to do.

>>1004570

More pics please!

>>1004940

That is purty. I'd probably go with a metal base for the more industrial look myself though.

>>1007228

You've done a beautiful job there. More master mason than stone chisel-er!

>>998900
Wow these are lovely

I made a condenser for a small column still.

It was surprisingly simple, as the copper pipe was already annealed. The only machining I had to do was drill a hole in the zinc bucket.

Good times ensued.

>>1008053
>garden hose for hot ethanol
Uhhh... No funny tastes?

>>1008061
Funny enough, no. I had the same concerns as you and thought it might give something extra to the distillate.

I am going to the hardware store tomorrow and will get some food grade pipe to replace the garden hose anyway.

>>1007979
The gremlins are real, bro.

Built this thing for testing high voltage breaker trip circuits for work. In hind sight, fitting it into an ammo can was a terrible choice.

>>1008323
It pretty much involved taking all of the contact decks apart and rebuilding them inside the can.

First batch of board wax, made from some local beeswax and a shitton of sap i harvested

If you make this with 4-pole, the mic/volume controls don't work, btw.

>>997922
nigga is that damascus?

>>1008345

What kind of sap works well? And what makes the mixture better than straight beeswax?

>>997962
why not buy pice of plexi or random plasic and cut it ? its like the most retardet thing i saw this month

>>1008628
I used white pine because it's what I had. The sap was just hanging of the trees in giant rocks. It makes the wax a little tackier and easier to grip

>>997962
Is this just like one of those things you do because you've already spent tons of cash on a 3D printer and need to justify it? Or do you not know that Dremels exist?
