/diy/ - Do It Yourself

so I am considering coming up with a storage method to create a "kitchen" in a box, a "bathroom" in a box, etc...essentially the utensiles and tools needed for each thing, as if i didnt have those rooms to store the things in permanently.

I am wondering about what sort of boxes I should use (tackle boxes?) and if by room is the best way to sort the items

I have lived in some "odd" places and am planning to live in my car eventually or something similar so this is the reasoning behind storing things this way. any experienceor advice on keeping things neat, not too bulky, etc.?

Oh hey, that's a cool thing! I want one of those. I wonder how to make it?

>You will need wood and some nails and a hammer

Oh okay...Hey I wonder how nails are made? And I bet I could make a wooden plank and a hammer. gonna wiki some woodworking techniques so i can make planks

>First you need raw wood

Oh...Well I guess I will grow a tree then. Time to look up how to garden

>You will need to water it

I should google some water collection techniques before I get my garden started...

Do you agree, /diy/?

/diy/...you are my kind of people

Ask yourself, "What is to be done?"

Ask yourself, "Can I do it?"

Answer yourself, "Yes, I can."

Do It Yourself.

Have you sent moot a thank you email for /diy/ yet?

I'm just sayin'

oh and the sample here says "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as a system of government"

i make writing systems (not just alphabets) all the time when I am bored

I would create full on conlangs but phonology kinda drives me nuts

Wear something around your neck and then put flesh colored liquid latex over it to blend with your face

>90% because the Dr. Who version is 6.5 feet tall

The height is a problem for you, but you don't even mention the difficulty of creating the expanded interior...So I'm going to assume you know how to make that part.

TAKE ME WITH YOU

this forever. It's really easy. Become familiar with victorian/1800's style clothing (I did it by watching Deadwood and film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes--you'll start to notice differences between American and British attire), then find thrift stuff that gives that effect. After that you add accessories to give some character to yourself, as people ITT have said.

I would advise you to come up with a theme for yourself. I usually go with something simple like a coachman or a chimney sweep; my friend comes up with intricate stories about her outlandish characters and bases her whole costume idea off of it. both ways work out well! If you don't have a theme at all, then I would advise you to not get really flamboyant with your costume. keep it simple and elegant, or else you'll look like you've been magnetized to collect random clothing and objects on your body.

Well, whenever a new board is created there's always a few days of people coming up with what to call themselves...it's kind of a fun tradition imo.

my favorites are /diy/hards, hand/diy/men, /diy/kes, /diy/kheads, and mac/diy/vers.

ahh thank you for the film recommendation!

>I'm hoping that we get to see Pfsr. Moriarty's Babbage engine

hold up, moriarty has a babbage engine? since when? I don't remember reading about that in the books...really?

I really don't know much about this new series, actually, I was just assuming it would be bad, haha. But there isn't much information about it in English that I can find, and I don't know Russian.

>I would advise you to watch some old russian movies since watching anything new made in russia just might get you brain cancer.

I watched The Irony of Fate in my russian culture class, and I thought it was pretty good...then we watched the sequel.

What the fuck?

also I hear they're making a new sherlock holmes film series in russia, after that perfect one from the 70's/80's....>mfw

I haven't read through the whole thread yet but I want to mention Mango Languages.

It's the best program I've ever found for language learning, and you can get it for free because they work with public libraries; all you need is a library card with a library who has Mango and you can access it online. There is probably a version of it you can buy, or maybe a version of it you can use for free even without a library card...But anyway, it's a great program for introducing yourself to a language and getting a handle on the basics. I've only seen a little bit of Rosetta Stone but I really think it's pretty lame compared to mango, and wayyyyyyy overpriced.
