/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey /DIY/. I'm a first time poster here from /ck/. I had just bought a plain ol' soccer mom Ford van. I had already bought a 1000ish unique/random stickers from the internet. I want to cover the car to the point you couldn't tell the original color of the car.

How do I go about this? Just wash the car and apply stickers? Should I apply some finish or wax before or after?

>>1641362
Yeah
>>1641356
That's ludicrous.

Where I live there is reverse osmosis and otherwise filtered water filtered water on tap at grocery stores. Try to find one (not the meme machines that don't actually filter) and bring a big glass bottle with you when you go shopping. Protip: if you don't want to spend $13 for a gallon bottle, just buy a gallon of apple juice that comes in a glass bottle and reuse that. I think I ended up spending 5 dollars for one of those plus I got apple juice.
These days I have a carbon filter at the apartment and drink from water fountains while I'm out and about based on taste. If it tastes like a swimming pool or sediment I stop drinking promptly.
Regardless of trace toxins in these waters, you ought to always be able to rely on your kidneys. Water supports kidney function.

Guys you can get SSD like speeds with just regular cheap hard drives!

Damn I was hoping to avoid a plumber since Their infamous for charging an arm and a leg for simple stuff.

This is how the shower arm , looks like

I was changing the shower heads when the shower arm broke inside the wall pipe. I'm limited to basic tools . Help would be appreciated.

PS. I attempted to grind down said shower arm with drillll . So far unsuccessful.

I have Roces t403, 100mm wheels. They are very strong. After 2 years only that rivet broke. I had K2 mach 90 before, and the frame broke in 2 months, with just driving fast. The parts I have ordered are original ones, got new wheels, 4 brakes, new straps and those rivets.

Im thinking if like a shoe repair shop will have rivet press or something like it, to do it. I will check tomorrow if they can do it.

Hello,
I need to fix my inline skates, as one of the parts broke. I have bought some kind of rivet, where I need to use some kind of press. In with shop I would be able to do it ? Or should I buy the proper tool ? Or should I just hammer it ?

My gaming related background, apart from my CV was one of the reasons people there thought i would be suitable for this job there. At the end, (around 4 months, they rejected me since 1 person there - one of the 2 persons in charge of that department) thought my ability to create 'awareness" is not high enough.

Hi dear /diy/,

So i moved to Taipei Taiwan and should work for Gigabyte.. After i arrived there i had endless interviews, contract negotiations and whatnot.

At the end, AFTER i arrived they told me that they have to reject me since they are unsure if i am able to create "awareness" so i thought... what would /diy/ do and came up with this...

Any Feedback help would be highly appreciated

Got bored at work

I want to start my own small company, offering services or products based on my somewhat limited diy skills. Problem is I don't have any type of trade / technical education, only some semi-pro experience in woodworking, fiberglass, styrofoam carving/castings, sanding and maybe few others related (used to work for a ultralight plane factory before it went broke).

What I do have is: 2 medium sized garages with workbenches and power outlets/running water, basic powertools and lotsa ordinary tools, sanding machines including stationary high power disc sander, vises, hand soldering iron, mounted anvil and probably alot more minor tools/equipment. Also have welding gear, but no know-how.

For the context, I live in a small town in central Europe and don't want to move out. I can invest some money into this, up to 1k euro I guess. I had already run a small company (translating and language services, I still do this for living but the options are limited) so I am not afraid of any legal stuff and paperwork.

Hey guys
I have recently come across a great DIY online site builder called Webzai (www.webzai.com) It has some very nice free templates. It has a bit of a learning curve to it but once you get the hang of it it’s great.

Thanks..? I don't know how to take that

This is just a hobby to pass spare time for me, I get bored fast, and I have enough skill for all this.

My current setup

>>539218
Haha I was mixing colors to match the metallic red of my Xbox, it's usually cleaner lol

>>539212
I have a abundance of the paint, my dad works in autobody and paints the cars after he fixes them, so I have everything I need, and I use a actual HVLP gun and not shitty spray paint, I'm just looking for decals and different LEDs

>>539202
No like professional paint used to prime, paint and clear cars

>>539174
I've tried winging it and painting them on, but they come out like shit IMO, I use automotive paint to paint them.

>>539172
I use people's remotes, they give me like 20-30 dollars and I paint it using existing parts, I'm looking for like decals and custom LEDs and buttons, I've done solid colors already

Ok, /diy/ this is my first time posting here, I'm a long time lurker and I have a question

I custom paint Xbox 360 remote and ps3 remotes and even the counsels and I'm trying to find a good online fourm to get advice and tips and maybe buy materials but I've had no luck finding one, can I have some help?

Will dump some stuff I've painted in the meantime
