God damnit. In four threads, you can't figure out how to make a proper rape room?

Maybe a nice rock wall. If you make it classy enough, they can't get too offended.

There's a /k/ thread on it right now. brb link.

/k/ here. Monitoring the thread for a decent way to build a fallout shelter.

I've melted pewter on stove top before. Campfire can do it too.

You can pewter is soft enough that you can cut without heating, though.

I have that same figure, save he's green and doesn't have the spawn theme going.

He means pencil and paper RPGs like DnD and shit. Recent epic thread on /tg/. Hold on, I think it got archived, so I'll look it up.

If you don't use treated lumber, it will eventually rot. Especially if it's touching moisture holding soil. Though it is possible to treat the lumber yourself by coating it in roofing tar. WARNING: This is technically illegal. Roofing tar can leach chemicals into your ground water. I wouldn't do it, but It's a cheap option.

And check out pond liners instead of mulch barrier. Much better at moisture blocking. Thicker and less easily torn if something shifts or scrapes. And be prepared to lay a couple of layers down under your floor. You don't want moisture to get wicked up your walls from a moist floor.

What are you using as a pick and what are you using as a torque wrench?

We aren't here to do your homework for you.

Lets fucking not. Sounds like a horrible idea. I'll go live in the woods where it's safe.

Have your considered trapping and tanning your own? Or raising rabbits for meat and collecting the furs? I'm working on a backyard rabbit hutch for raising meat rabbits, and I'll likely be tanning the skins for various projects.

The pipe is a good option, but don't leave it empty. mix up some portland cement, and ram it in there. This will both improve the weight and reduce the amount of flex in the bar.

Next, get a bucket, and a wooden dowel slightly bigger then the diameter of your bar. Drill a hole in the middle of the bottom of the bucket, the exact size diameter of the dowel. Run the dowel through the hole, and tape up any gaps.
Now fill the bucket with cement. When it cures, knock the dowel through the bottom of the bucket with a hammer.

Repeat with another bucket the same size, and you have weights. You can use pairs of different sized buckets to create different weights.

Get some vise grips or actually weight clamps to hold the buckets still on the bar.

Build your bench out of heavily reinforced wood. You don't wan that cracking on you midlift.

Remember to never lift alone, and have fun.

Buying up surrounding land is possible, but not super likely. My grandparents had like 100+ acres, and it all got divided up when they died. I might be able to buy my sister's chunk for cheap, seeing as I doubt she will ever use it.

As it stands, I'm the only one in the family that plans on living on their land, outside of a cousin that got the farm house. I already have permission to hunt and camp throughout the rest of the land.

I'm thinking earthbag myself. Though a friend wants to try cob for her house. I just want a where I can support myself, no matter what. I spent a little while homeless a few years back, and I don't want to be that dependent on society again.
I'm not especially going for stealth, no real need. My chunk is pretty far back from the road, so I figured I'd be fairly hidden anyway.

Northern Alabama is where the land is. I'm in Northern Florida right now though.

It is a back to the land thing. It's about being responsible for yourself. It's about knowing I won't be out on the streets, hungry and homeless, again, just because another guy fucked up and lost his company.

And no, I'm not responsible for food for everyone I invited to join me, I just have a few people I care about and want in my life, that are skeptical of it's feasibility. Basically, I need to show them it can be done, before they want to commit. I can't blame them for not wanting to risk it, I guess.

Starting my own microvillage is my current 5 year goal. I own about 10 acres of the Southern Appalachians (inherited old family land). Most of it is currently wooded, though I might have a chunk of the old hay field, not sure where the property line is exactly.

Right now I'm saving money and building test systems (power generation, aquaponics, mushroom growing) at home.

I've got three other people pledged to help me start, and a handful of others that claim they will join once I can promise food, water, shelter, and power.

The only big thing I'm worried about is getting a well set up. I don't want to dig one by hand, but I can't afford to get one drilled. I'm hoping I can drive one down, with a hammer and spiked pipe.

Briar blanks can be purchased online. Briar wood for pipes is usually taken from the root structure of the tree, so you won't find a 'stick' of briar.

Cherry wood will also work. So you might find sticks of it. The wood just needs to hardwood with a dense grain, so other woods might be a possibility.

Well that would be silly. If I quite my day job, I'd no longer have regular access to the brass.

I work at Lowes, and I have to clean out the key copier each night. I get anywhere from a quarter to a half pound of brass shavings out of it each night.

Is there much value in yellow Brass? I had kept it to eventually try out brass smelting, but I've heard bad things about zinc fumes, and figured I might be able to get some cash out of.

Did you remember to pop the foil seal inside the base of the tip?

Nah, not EnviroTex. I don't know if that would work or not. It might. I used some forever ago when I worked on wargaming terrain for water effects.

This is Castin Craft clear casting resin.

Easy to suspend some glitter in the clear coat.
