ive been making kitchen cupboards lately, they're going to bt 12mm plywood, and 5x5cm bracing, all cheap wood.
the height is 60cm, and has either 2 or 3 shelves. width is 210 cm, two 55cm cabinets on the sides and a big 195cm in the middle.
construction is gonna be all screws, either 35mm to mount the boards to the frame and 85mm for beam to beam connections. also using angle brackets in the frame at places you can't see them.

thats a nice idea but why the fuck does that cabinet have only half a shelf?

>end grain
I can’t figure it out. One end grain edge turned out perfect, the other 3 ends have high spots and low spots. Like I sand and the lighter wood is softer and gets way lower than the darker (harder) wood, so the stain ends up fucked up. Pic related shows the one good end aside from a drop of stain I screwed up on.

What’s the response to this?

And yea the Dremel router attachments are annoying as fuck, but I was making a like 1” wide cut on a 1.5” board, so I had to avoid cutting 1/4” of wood on either side, and my real router is a big 2HP or whatever and I felt like I definitely would’ve blown through the <1/4” with the big router.

[Bepis !n/ZnkB9jUw No.2727827]

>>2727819
>>2727780
The lighter spots on the end grain aren’t even all low spots, so idk.

The other thing I have figured out, that end grain soaks up stain like 10x more than the other faces of the board, so I was trying to do a quick application as to not make the ends look way darker.

Also pic related shows why I was hesitant to use the big router. Maybe one of the 1/4” palm routers would’ve been the best way to go for that, but the dremel was the easiest to control, as slow as it is.

> Like I sand and the lighter wood is softer and gets way lower than the darker (harder) wood
That’s normal when you sand soft wood ends. Use a router or a plane instead to get them flat, it will still get hairy or wavy when you apply stain (or water based anything) so you sand with very fine grain after first coat. Or a hard sanding block (sandpaper on block of wood) to avoid digging into the softer springwood

Take the outlet from your compressor pump and run it through an a/c condenser from the junkyard and fab up some brackets to mount it next to your belt pulley. The air from the fins on the pulley will pull air through the condenser and cool off the heated compressed air. Then run it through an auto drain water separator before it dumps into the tank. This will remove most of the water before it has a chance to condense in the tank. Then an auto-drain on the tank will take care of the rest.

Pic rel is the a/c condenser I set up on one of my compressors.

Web search "Franzinator" and keep an eye out for receiver tanks at auctions or Fecesbook Marketplace. Most people don't know what they're for and I plumb my inlet to the bottom and outlet near the top (they have a variety of bungs) for extra separation.

[Anonymous No.2728643]

>>2728382
I had looked into those franzinators some before. Really though the condenser radiator and water separator before the tank gets most of it out. My auto drain on the main receiver tank barely lets out any water anymore. Once i get my new air system up and running it will have a 10-12' vertical climb up a 3/4" steel pipe and that will have a drip leg and auto drain on it as well. So that should get the last little bit out!

My old air system my dad put in when we built the shop. It is 1/2" pex-al-pex in the footer. Definitely not ideal but has worked for 20+ years. I do have a small leak somewhere now so i have to shut off the compressor from the system when I leave the shop to prevent unnecessary compressor running.

New system will be 1" pex-al-pex in a full halo 13' in the air on the shop wall. Doing the airflow calculations with actual ID measurements of the pex-al-pex it showed that the system should flow well over 100cfm to the furthest point. So any restriction will be in my end hoses and fitings. Everything I own has those high flow big "3/8" (even though they are still 1/4" pipe thread) fittings on it. Basically plugging in anywhere on the system should be like plugging directly into the receiver tank.

I'm working on building a 4x4 offroad RV down at my parents place. Just got home (6 hrs away) after spending a week down there plugging away on my project. I'm putting a 7.3 powerstroke, 6 speed ZF6 trans, and dana 60 solid front axle from this 99' F350 parts truck into my 1983 Econoline RV. started off having to diagnose and fix the parts truck since it wouldn't start in the cold. ended up being all 8 glow plugs and the glow plug relay, so after a bit of work and experimenting I got all those switched out and the truck fired right up. Cost about $150 in parts

>>2733656
After making sure it was starting and running in the donor truck I got right to work pulling the cab. The engine, transmission, and transfer case weigh just shy of 1500lbs altogether, so the easiest way for me to get it out was to lift the cab and pull the drivetrain with the help of my neighbor and his skidsteer. This was my first time pulling a cab on a truck and it just so happened to be on the largest vehicle I've ever worked on. Tons of fun. I don't really have any friends at my parents place so I got to do it all on my own just hanging out

I only had a week at my parents place and so I had been planning out everything I needed to do for a few months beforehand. Surprisingly I finished everything I hoped to while I was down there and even had time for a stretch goal. Part of this was because I utilized my time well. In the daytime I would be outside working on the RV chassis, then when the sun went down and it got colder I would head in the shop and work on the truck. While I was diagnosing and pulling apart the truck I also had to figure out a way to get the RV safely supported for everything that it needs done. It weighs a bit under 10,000lbs which is more than our equipment can really handle (and is more than I want to trust to jackstands which can't even really reach the frame). I wound up borrowing my neighbors skidsteer again to lift the front of the RV a foot or so off the ground, then I welded in a steel I-beam underneath it and attached box tube feet to that beam. this effectively created a semi-permanent stand underneath the vehicle which allows me to do the work that needs to be done on the front end.

[Anonymous No.2733662]

>>2733661
With the RV safely supported I was able to pull out all the existing front suspension and strip the bay of most of the unnecessary wiring and components. You can see a bit of the structure as well as the front clip under the RV here

[Anonymous No.2733664]

>>2733662
The main goal of all of this work was to be able to digitally scan all of the primary components for the build so I can continue working on planning and designing while away from my parents house. Once I had everything separated and cleaned up, I "3D scanned" the axle, drivetrain, and RV chassis separately using photogrammetry. I know they make actual 3D scanners for this, but I'm a college student on a shoestring budget and figured I'd try the free method first since it's mostly just to verify fitment and do a bit CAD with. Once I got all the models assembled from the photogrammetry software, I brought it into 3DS max to clean up the meshes and roughly assemble them. This wound up being tremendously helpful since I'm able to determine likely points of interference without slinging around a 1500lb drivetrain. From this I've identified issues with the steering column and steering box interfering with the powersteering pump location (probably going to relocate the pump to the stock AC compressor location since neither of these vehicles came with AC anyway), as well as super tight clearance around the firewall from the valve covers and manifolds and some tight fitments with the turbo intercooler and radiator. I'm also anticipating contact from the panhard bar to the oil pan depending on engine location, and I'm going to have to rebuild the front crossmember to accommodate the larger engine.

[Anonymous No.2733670]

>>2733664
My stretch goal was pulling the dash and the gauge cluster so I could bring it home and determine how to wire it properly for use with the new ECU and harnesses. nobody gives a shit about 83' Econolines except for me, so there's basically zero available information about them online (including cluster pinout diagrams). Fortunately clusters are really simple, so I was able to reference the back side and determine the function of almost all the pins from the original wiring. naturally the parts truck has a lot of extra lights for the newer systems, so I'll be building an accessory light panel for any extra warning lights that come with the powerstroke. any other shared connections will go to the original cluster (and maybe through a microprocessor to correct signals) so I can keep the oem look of the cab.

sorry for the blogposting but I'm so autistically hyper obsessed with this project that all my friends and family are tired of hearing about it, and I'm forced to sperg out about it somewhere else instead. I'm a bit under $4k into the whole project so far, and I'm hoping to keep it under $10k and have the van running, driving, and street legal by the time I'm out of school (3 more semesters). please ask me questions or give me reasonable advice. please do not tell me this is unrealistic, impossible, or outside of my expertise because I already know that and you would have to literally kill me to make me quit.

I could use the skidsteer again to move the engine in, but the hydraulics on it sag after a few minutes and the controls are very twitchy which is not only sketchy but leads to unreliable measurements if I need to keep it there for a while to make a template or something.

Building a 180cm/6´ high beech shelf to store and set up my electronic measurement equipment. Each level needs to be able to support about 50kg or 100lbs as 70ies and 80ies equipment is that heavy.

Will feature a sidemounted extension stretching over my workbench for more storage space on it.

Sidewalls and floors will be over an inch thick each as the raw boards are 28mm planed finish. Will coat with wax in the end.

it was $2500 if that's what you're asking. it's got a salvage title so we tried to trailer it home and the truck we have was not up to it. pulls a trailer like shit, so we ended up driving the parts truck 5hrs home instead. the thing had two dead batteries, a dead alternator, bad glow plug relay, 8 bad glow plugs and a fucked alignment from it's accident and it drove itself all the way home until the alternator started charging again and gave me headlights at sundown. I also didn't have a plate for it and I happened to find one for a trailer behind the back seat, so I zip tied it to rear bumper and it was convincing enough that the cops didn't care. extremely extremely impressed with diesels after that journey home since this is the first one I've owned. a gas car would be dead in the water 8 times over for that trip

making LED clouds for my kids' playroom

this is my first ever LED project, using a dig-quad which has been a pleasure to work with. the heavy-gauge romex is because the power supply is quite far from the controller so i wanted to mitigate voltage drop. I added a tastefully-hidden outlet over the top of my kitchen cabinets that is switched by the main overhead light switch in that room (they share a wall), and the power supply plugs into that switch, then the DC goes through the wall and to the controller. It's only 5V but I've been extremely careful about insulating, not hiding any junctions in cavities or anything like that, it's my family's home after all. Everything high-voltage is up to code. Anyway, the end result is that you flip the light switch and the clouds and central overhead light turn on together.

the clouds will be covered in poly-fill fluff, and connect using automotive 3-pin quick disconnects so that it's trivial to take a cloud down if it needs to be worked on - hear the fluffing can get dusty or house bugs, but it'll only be held on by craft spray adhesive, so i'll just pull the cloud down and rip off the old stuff to replace easily. the central overhead light will be a cute moon-and-stars deal off of amazon.

right now the clouds are suspended by fishing wire - i need to structurally attach the female (cloud-side) connector to the rest of the cloud so it can hang purely by its cord, which is way way more than strong enough for the job, these things are weightless. will have to balance with little weights or something too so they hang level.

When the lid is down there shouldn't be any way for water to get in as it is all sloped in a way where the water should run off. It's made out of some 5x7 3/16 wall rectangle tubing that was left over from a piece of farm equipment. About a year ago someone dropped an unlocked wire gate and cut a cable that locked up my gas tank nozzle and took some gas, some gas cans, a couple batteries I had removed from my excavator and a 4-wheeler I had out there for running around on the farm. I have since changed the way the nozzle is locked up to make it more of a pain to cut, locked up the unsecured gate, added some game cameras, and up until now I was just pulling the breaker on the electrical panel that ran the fuel pumps.

That farm is about ten miles from my residence. I do have to head out there every day during the fall/winter to feed cattle and almost every day during the spring/summer months to change water on the fields so it's not like I leave it unattended for long periods of time.

Theft isn't super common around here, but there are a few tweakers/meth heads that will take opportunity of a situation if it is easy enough for them to walk off with something. If someone still wants to steal my fuel I'm sure they will figure out a way, but just adding more inconveniences for them is probably enough to make them head to a different target. I should really add some kind of game cameras or security cams that notifiy me when there is activity, but I would either have to go with cellular game cams or an internet connection out there, and haven't decided whether or not I really want to drop the coin on that yet. I also try to limit the amount of stuff I keep out there that could be easily carried off. I pretty much only have large equipment out there these days.

Tripwire shotguns are a hell of a lot cheaper overall and there's no recurring subscription fee if you catch my drift.

I am going to make a fake "cabinet" to go around my gun safes and then paint it bright blue or something so it looks as innocuous as possible. Police response time around here is like 3 mins so if it slows a burglar down by even one minute it's worth it. Plus that way contractors and anyone else who goes down there will just see an innocuous cabinet instead of a gun safe, so I'm less likely to be a target in the first place.

Should I make it out of OSB and 2x4s, or should I try to find an IKEA cabinet setup that will fit around it? The problem is I only have about another inch or so of wiggle room where the safe is.

Any ideas on making it more innocuous looking?

one thousand percent. rather than going with an off-the-shelf LED package, those ones that always have the same fucking little flat remote, i went with a totally bespoke solution by picking my own power supply, raw LED strips (of a high quality), and controller. I learned everything from quinled.info, it's an incredible site. Spoonfeeds you everything you need to know.

Anyway, the controller i picked, a Dig-Quad, comes pre-loaded with WLED, which is an unbelievably configurable open-source led controller software. You access the controller just by punching its ip address into your browser, or via an app, both work the same.

the controller also has GPIO pins so you can set it up to react to, say, a microphone (i.e. make the LEDs react to music), and I think I heard of someone scripting theirs to react to weather via some api. It's really anything you can dream of.

>Are you using them for primary lighting?
the colors you see in >>2742906 are how i generally leave them, unless in some other fun mode -- i essentially never have them set to "white." the idea is that the moon-pendant is the primary lighting for the room.

however, that moon pendant uses five G4 "bi-pin" led bulbs, and the ones that came with it SUCK, way too harsh / cold. So I'm looking for replacements, I buy pic related and plug them in, flick the switch and BANG, one of the bulbs blasted itself open, some little component had jumped out of the gel encapsulation. The moon pendant (which i just found on amazon and seems to be chinkshit) doesn't seem to have any kind of internal power supply to run the bulbs, so they all are actually running at 120V AC. Apparently the little 12V DC bulbs didn't appreciate that. Higher voltage bulbs on the way.

yep, it's just a regular AC fixture so it's on a dimmer switch. the outlet that the cloud LEDs' power supply is plugged into is downstream of that same dimmer switch (so, flip the switch and the moon + clouds all come on), but the cloud power supply seems totally unaffected by the dimmer, which is fine anyway

All SMPSs rectify the input wave, so a chopped up sine wave won'd do much until the peak voltage drops so low as to make the PSU cease to operate properly. Note that the sharp edges on the chopped up sine wave will mean inrush current spikes that may reduce the lifespan of the input capacitors and the dimmer itself. Consider putting a filter with some normal mode chokes and X2 caps before the LED PSU, assuming it doesn't already have those. Some LED PSUs actively sense the input waveform however, and can react to dimming. I've seen this feature in one or two monolithic off-line LED driver ICs at least. If your LED PSU has a dimming input, you may be able to filter the mains input using some passives and an optocoupler, if you want.

Some LEDs respond better than others to AC dimming, and getting LEDs in that form-factor that are both high-CRI and good at dimming without flicker may be difficult. To the point I'd consider finding LEDs that do suit those specs, and replacing the sockets to suit those LEDs (idk maybe a smaller edison screw or whatever). Even if that means having to swap them to run at 12V or something. If everything could run on DC, you'd have the opportunity to rewire the dimmer switch to just be a potentiometer that controls the PSUs.

>>2744142

That is extremely helpful information, thank you.
This is the PSU that's running the dig-quad for the clouds:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085QKVLB6/
Looks like it's good down to 85V input. However, regardless, I don't want the dimmer at all, I'm just going to change it to a straight switch. The clouds can be dimmed (if desired) by the WLED controls, and the room is a kids' playroom, even the primary lighting i don't want to be ultra bright task lighting -- so I'd rather just use a set of warm, lower-brightness bulbs in the moon light. I have thought about re-wiring it to also be remotely-controllable like the clouds, or at least knocked down to 12V, but frankly i'm ready to be done with this project so if i can get 120VAC bulbs at a suitable brightness and warmth (ordered a set to try, they'll be here tomorrow), I'm just going to call it there.

I've also got footage of some other projects I've done, including some clips from 7 years ago when I brought home my aunts 65' Impala (planning on doing a serious resto project on that after college) and a few terabytes of my first project car which was a 94' Integra GSR, although I eventually gave up filming before I finished it. pic related is the integra and this is the YT channel if you want to follow it:

btw 4chanx stopped alerting me of replies to my posts so in the past few weeks since coming back from the RV I've thought of a few good ways of mounting the engine. I'm thinking of building an engine bar to mount to the front of the engine bay alongside some sort of winch setup so I can hang the drivetrain in with the skidsteer on chains and make fine adjustments to it with it resting solidly on the bar itself. That way I don't have to borrow my neighbor's equipment as much and I'll have a more reliable way of positioning and holding it while I work out my fabrication stuff.

Then clean it? What difference is there being the hanging shoes? The shit is going to end up on the floor.

Sk6812NW give best color reproduction imo. I used these and WLED to make a clone of the Philips ambilight for my tv. Still needed a bit of tuning to match the onscreen image perfectly but these were by far the closest of any that I tested (apa102, ws2812 and 2801, hd108).

Highly recommend the ambilight project if you already have WLED setup. You can just add another instance. The tough part is serving it data but that depends on what kind of tv you have or how you watch content. If you have an lg tv that runs webos you can root it and run software that samples the screen directly and sends color data of the edges to WLED, easy. Not sure if that’s the case for other tv operating systems. If you watch tv via an htpc you can install software there that samples the edges and sends to WLED. I think there are some boxes that you can put in an hdmi signal chain too that will also do it but I dunno much about that

having to take all of the shoes off of the shelves to clean five or six shelves' worth of accumulated grime, or just environmental dust from the room, with all of the accompanying nooks and crannies in said shelves, is a task that will get put off by many people until it's pretty bad.

the single floor surface underneath the set of hooks is something that can just be swept instantly.

i am not saying the hook system is perfect or even right for me, i'm responding to the knee-jerk "just build a shelf lol' posts

Any anons have a book on soldering electronics?

[Anonymous No.2749145]

>>2749137
Like how to solder or how to make circuits? Either way those are broad topics

For the former soldering in electronics assembly is good and covers everything from through hole to infrared convection but you can probably skip those chapters
if you’re just doing home assembly stuff
If the latter the go to is the art of electronics imo
Both should be available on libgen which is good bc they’re pricey

I'm replacing the kitchen sink, cabinets and floorboard and plumbing. Still in the purchasing supplies stage: need lumber, tiles, caulking and a crowbar. Not sure if I need to replace the floor joists; also not sure if I need to redo the entire kitchen or if i can do it piecemeal

I've got a Sony piece of shit that I can't upgrade the firmware of, so its apps are broken. It wants a 2GB or smaller USB stick, which I finally found, but even then it failed for no reason. I also have a Panasonic TV with a CCFL backlight that was replaced by the Sony, it kept receiving erroneous remote control signals or something, idk.

I have zero WLED stuff, haven't considered doing it but edge lighting for a TV does sound cool. What's it take to set up a server? I really want to set up a quality android TV box beneath whatever TV I use for streaming services and my library's app Beamafilm, but I'm not sure what boxes are easy to upgrade firmware on. I got one with a rockchip in it, was impossible to upgrade without a windows computer and who the fuck uses windows. Also tried a raspberry pi, would be great as a media server but trying to run android on it is janky as hell. Would it be possible to use an android TV box and get the ambilight data output from it?

You mean the things that automatically put records onto the player? Those are tough electromechanical devices to make. Chances are the only people who could be bothered to design such a thing were doing it to make money, not to publish as online blueprints for anyone to make. Either get an old machine to fix up or stick to digital lossless audio with quality DACs, which will have both better SNR and better channel separation anyhow.

looking pretty cloudy in here

i will now be suspending this project, in spite of the fact that i'm not 100% satisfied with how lumpy some of the cloud fluff looks, so that i can put the master bathroom shower stall back together because it's been taken apart for several months and my wife is about out of patience

[Anonymous No.2749527]

>>2749522
they're also all just a little bit too low-hanging so i'll be raising em up

the secondary goal of this project is to add some acoustic baffling to this room, because the lack of furniture + hardwood floor membrane over crawlspace + high tray ceiling make it quite the echo chamber, and my 1 year old boy is fucking LOUD so i needed to dampen his yells a fair bit. has worked.

Looks like clouds to me. Presumably you can't use fishing line to anchor them because you have the power running through that line.

yeah that's one of my complaints too. attaching the fluff is just a matter of spraying on some spray adhesive and slapping it on there, ive got several extra pounds of the stuff.
