Disregard this post.

I meant to say, I'm a huge faggot.

See, I asked a serious question because I couldn't find information on google. I get that you like being anonymous. I see value in that anonymity. I don't see how me choosing not to be completely anonymous diminishes that anonymity. Smart enough to be trying to remedy ignorance. Your argument is invalid.

>>789778
You know Anon, I'm honestly curious why you care? In what way does this behavior offend you? Is it just a tradition, is there a reason for it, are you just using it as an excuse to target someone?
I would understand if I was being disruptive, shitposting, bragging about how awesome I'm being, but I just added a nick when I got confused with a different anon because it's less effort than typing CONT on every thread I answer a question about a previous post in. I'm not affecting your ability to anonymously shitpost.

I understand it's frowned upon and you're upset by it, sufficiently so that you took the time to try to find a name for the nick. If you give me an actual reason other than trollspeak, I'll stop.

Because getting upset because I refuse to conform to the local societal norm of being anonymous so we can be immune from pressure to conform to general societal norms is asinine.

Why not box of stainless screws in same size + cordless driver = afternoon of switching out screws? You don't have to unscrew all of the zinc ones to put in the stainless, you can go one by one.

Have to ask... How'd that layout happen? distracted? first time?

This might be the simplest DIY thing. If you're woodburning, I'd highly suggest tracing out the design with pencil first. or printing out a line art design and tracing that. But yeah, test it first.

Don't? Just glue on fake rivets so it looks like a seam between metal panels.

Don't forget you can also kerf bend plywood if you need it to hold weight (use circular saw to cut series of cuts almost all the way through. basically you end up with the 6mm plywood >>769523 with parallel support ribs attached). You just need ribs for it to hold the curve.

Check the website of your county for building codes. When I was building my shed, found out you don't need a permit as long as it's under 120 sq feet and less than 1/3 of the total area of your plot is covered by buildings. You may have something similar.

Maybe, what else is going on? Sounds a bit like the start of Soldier (1998). Maybe add an ongoing murder mystery where the two squads start being more and more violent and suspicious of each other when marines start turning up dead, then having to set aside their differences to combat the evil general using them to test mind control implants? or predator hidden alien, or the thing shapeshifter alien, or whatever. If it's just straight about a rivalry set in space, crib from films like remember the titans or mighty ducks, because you're basically making a sports moving... IN SPACEEEEE. But hell, shaolin soccer was awesome, and was basically a cliche sports movie... WITH KUNG FUUUUU. So whatev.

Depends on the scene. Having to handcrank an airlock iris open while trying to cover the hallway is awesome. for normal use nah.

Just build one?

@abt 2:05, how to make spray paint out of a cup of paint, bendy straw, and some sort of compressed air thing.

>>789277
Based on what you say they said, that should help keep the termites out of the house, but my inclination would be to use the vinyl molding for baseboards just to be safe. termites can't eat plastic. Idk if the mdf stuff would be safe from them but might work too?

>>788960
Have this. Still want to make a new bedframe when I have time. The metal frame pisses me off because it always ends up sticking out past my box spring and stabbing my foot. :/

>>788761
just out of curiosity, was the fan for the heat sink clogged with lint? might be good to check so you know to clean out for future laptops.

>>787732
No, dude, he's bitching about me using a name so I don't get confused with someone else when I have to use 3 posts to get someone to understand something.

Cut a few plywood circles and then get a sheet of acrylic and a hair dryer/heat gun. space out the circles every few inches, wrap them in the plastic sheet, and nail/screw/glue them in place. I'm thinking 1/4th inch thick should stand up, especially since the circles should be spaced so they'll support your foot wherever it goes, and you can step in a trough. should be like 10 lbs not 50, and cost idk $35 between plywood and 2'x2' acrylic sheet?

>>787081>>787086
Only other suggestion I have that may work for you, and I've done this except with a circular saw, is to make a bunch of closely spaced cuts, like 1/8"-1/4" apart, and then snap off the fingers at the bottom and sand/chisel the recess flat.

Beautiful work. Check out the woodwrights shop with roy underhill, he does similar stuff.

The problem with amazing woodwork like that is that it takes so FUCKING long to do it right. I mean it's a good 40 hrs for a cabinet like that? So even at a $40/hr pay rate (which is low for a high skilled trade like that) that works out to $1600 for labor. Round up to $2000 for materials, then tack on profit for the various shops/dealers and we're talking a $3000 cabinet. Compared to Ikea level stuff which takes 30 mins of a factory guy who makes $20 because he only had to spend 1 year learning the skills he needs instead of 15. So yeah, valued, but you don't see it much for the same reason that you don't see Lamborghini's going down the street very often.

Also, the intricate Japanese joints that are awesome and pretty and cool are actually weaker than other more modern joints because we now have glues that aren't shit and metal fasteners that are mass produced and not crazy expensive, so we don't have to rely on friction fitting joints as much, the glue will hold them. when you remove wood for the interlocking structures, you're removing the support structure. But DAMN it's pretty shit.

If I remember correctly a lot of it is embossed. Seems like it'd be easier to hammer flat and paint a solid color overtop? but if you're married to it and don't want to get paint stripper, oven cleaner might work? and steel wool elbow grease always works. ...Eventually.

>>788402
I've also heard that electrical is more hazardous than plumbing. You'll eventually get a zap from some rat chewed stripped wire that was misswired and looked like neutral but was hot. enough of these or a bad one and heart gives out. Not really a way for plumbing to do the same. Don't forget some of the overlooked stuff too, like carpentry/cabinet shop, flooring installer (high end hospital stuff, not tile/carpet shit work), or steam fitter, or stonemason.

Just rubber cement it. Use a toothpick to get it deep in the gap. or use shoe goo if you want it name brand.

>>788106
You might also be able to use one of those wax stain repair kits. It's a mix of stain and wax, fills in scratches with a similar color so they disappear, they make them in a bunch of colors. try paint department of hardware store before sanding. should be well under $10.
Or hell, try floor/furniture wax. if it's small scratches they'll buff right out. It won't remove them, but it'll fill them in and restore the smooth surface look.

Just to clarify, you HAVE sharpened/replaced the mower blade, right?
