>>2786306That doesn’t look bad. My 2¢- that’s the older brushed angle grinder, it’s not one of their higher end models. It’s still a DeWalt so I’m sure it’s fine.That super stubby impact driver and 5.0 battery is $149. But I have also seen the last gen brushless impact driver plus a smaller battery for $99, and the Atomic hammer drill + impact driver kit and 2x small batteries for $149-$199 a lot.That 5.0Ah battery will be great on the angle grinder, but quite large on the impact driver, especially if you’re not running 3” screws all day long. It will work fine, but messes with my OCD.
>>2786319So I'm basically paying $80 for the angle grinder, which I just found for $100 on its own. Not really that great; might as well just get the stubby on its own. I got scammed by the g*mans on a cordless drill so I don't really need the hammer drill + impact driver kit.
>>2786504Like I said, it’s not bad. I’m sure the angle grinder is straight, but certain people are really picky on grinder switch style and power and that one isn’t the latest and greatest XR model or anything.
>>2785945>No, mattias wandal (woodgears) on youtube already busted the fact that dewalt, by design, drains one battery out of the whole pack thus ruining the whole pack.wut? that is not how batteries work
Bought my drill for 70 bucks, came with 2 1.5Ah batteries and a charger. Go to buy more batteries, it's 50 bucks just for 2 batteries. These companies are giving away the drills for practically free to hook you into their battery scam, it's printer ink level kikery going on in the cordless tool business right now.
Recently shortened a front driveshaft for my 2000 F-350 with the V10 and manual transmission. Could find front driveshafts for automatic transmissions all day long for sub $200 while the proper one for my manual transmission was anywhere from $600-1000. So a little bit of choppy choppy, some indicating in, and welding, and I have the right length driveshaft and saved myself some coin. The reason for the thread is once I cut the end off to shorten the tube I found this rolled up cardboard inside. What is the reasoning for this? Is it supposed to help dampen harmonic resonance or was it in there for some other reason? I have shortened several driveshafts and this is the first time I have ever encountered rolled up cardboard in the tube. I ended up with about 0.07 thousandths of runout at the end. Had do do some tacking, then indicating, cut a tack, tap it in, re-indicate, etc. for a bit to get er all nice and true, but it runs smooth as silk at 70 down the highway now, whereas before it was bad at 20mph. The old center ball on the double cardan was completely wallered out and even the splines on the slip yoke were getting worn and sloppy.
>>2783780Honeat question, why not just fashion one out of cherry ot walnut using a lathe?
>>2786277Do this and post it on You don't know shit about welding.

Hello lil niggas I plugged something into the circled holes and now the outlet doesn't work What did I do? Also there was a buzzing and a spark before it died Also this happened because I'm gangstalked by jews Also never going back. I'm going to work 60 hour weeks driving a truck and I'm going to own a Porsche and be a sex tourist and have a motor cycleAlso gonna hike and trek and mtb my fucking ass off and I'm gonna do steroids and slay pus pus bbws included Cope seethe filthy jews Anyway thanks for reading

Hi /diy/.My parents have passed down to me this Lane coffee table, it's been in my family for a long time. However it's definitely seen better days, and I would like to restore it to it's former glory so I can continue to pass it down. I would like some advice as to how I should go about this, I've never refinished or restored furniture before. Also I will attach more pics showing the damage in more detail.
>>2786644True, I really don't want to fuck it up. I have some other worn furniture so I'll probably give that a go first for practice.
>>2786591both of his veneer videos were garbage that he just removed and applied new veneer stickers. Is there an actual way to save wood veneer that isn't on garbage?
>>2786780yes you just sand it, but if you sand it you remove wood. it can only be done once or twice (usually once) before you'll sand all the way through the veneer. so if you elect to restore it like that it could be detrimental to the longevity of the piece. you could use citrus strip and some 0000 steel wool, and then refinish it, but as you said you should try some other cheap wood furniture first before trying the piece that carries sentimental weight for you.
>>2786782The problem with mine, and yeah it's an heirloom, is that the veneer is bubbling where it's been damaged. I feel like I should do something to stabilize the veneer before I sand.
>>2786855use steel wool instead of sandpaper and hand "sand" if the veneer really delaminates you need to use a siringe and thin (hide)glue to glue it back. but i cant tell from the pic looks like damaged paint.and maybe look into shelack lacker for coating it again. looks good penetrates and stabilises the wood and can be easily removed with alcohol by future diyers
If I want water to get away from the side of my house on the ground(I have no slope really, it's all level surface), should I put dirt, sand or gravel?
I deal with this kind of person all the time. The only way they will listen is if they are proven wrong through first hand experience. Even in defeat, OP will not admit to it and any solution offered here will become their next "original" idea. Where is the water going to drain to, OP? Down into the ground? Water follows the path of least resistance.
OP is a perfect example of what happens when youre stupid and buy the last / cheapest lot in a sub division.
>>2788921Ah. The infamous water schlong
OP what you need is a draw bridge
>>2788763how's the internet in niggertown?
>>2787052You've been here long enough to know when you're making a stupid thread with overused material.
>>2788814that was the point genius
>>2788820The point is to make a thread about a picture that everyone's already seen here a thousand times? Kind of seems like a stupid point to me.
>>2788864There's a guy (me) impersonating tripfags.
>>2787052my father has made a barn for his farm out of old doors. Cannot recomend honestly. Still looks way better than that yank
Do pumps create flow or do they create pressure?
>>2786877flow by creating a pressure differencebut i'd say a pressure difference first that results in a flow since you can have a pressure difference from a pump without flowlike another anon has brought up the voltage and current equivalent, you can have a voltage with 0 current when R is infinitebut do retards really argue about this? bernoulli vs newton that creates lift over an airfoil is similar but far less obvious
>>2786877how deep do you want to go? fundamentally it's an energy distribution lowering entropy. increased energy in a closed system increases force. force over an area gives you pressure. pressure differential gives you flow. flow gives you sick rap skillz
>>2789062entropy always increases
>>2786877Both variables are fundamentally inseparable just like current and voltage. Because they're the same. Look up bond graphs
PUMPS ARE LIKE WIVESTHEY PUSH BUT DONT SUCKfuckin nerds
Any reason it has to go on the roof? Can I just put panels on piles in the ground like a solar farm?
yes you can put them anywhere reallyin fact i have read an article that its more effective on a fencebut it has to do with codes regulation and space and how clever you areyou see if its attached to the house grid usuallyit needs to be regulated and placed on the roofbut lets say you know how to set up solar unitslike the all in one unitsyou can set one up on a gourney or a trailerthen its a mobile unit and you can lay the panels on the groundsaying this you should look up how to ground it
The issue is usually azimuth. At certain times of the year you may not get any power at all.
>>2789079Putting them on the roof is saving space. It is better to put it on the ground (on mounts in the correct angle), especially putting bifacial panels like that improves performance, plus you can clean them more easily if you live in a snowy area.
Roof is dumb.Ground mount is way to go.You get exact angle you wantService is easySnow is easily cleaned offEasy to diy an angle adjustmentLeave your roof alone. It has a job to do, and likely isnt the optimal angle for harvesting kill o wattsDont overthink it by imitating what companies get idiots to finance. Panel pointed at sun make power.A big ass stump is effectively the same as a concrete ballast block
>>2785974Boxes are usually financed through snapon credit and not off of the truck line of credit (if you get one big enough). Truck line is zero percent, snapon is ungodly even with perfect credit. My last box was $27k. Damn near perfect credit and I want to say I was over 8%, don't want to lie, but I know it was at least that. It is the loan holder's responsibility to establish reclaiming the box. The dealer/driver just drives the truck to pick it up if it is a repo, most times have it sold before even picking up.
>>2789134I’m a snap-on fanboy down to the point where I have a bahco in my box and have caterpillar tools along side them But I don’t see any point in having a snap-on box It’s a big “steal me” billboard I keep everything in a husky box with those JDM learning permit/elder driver magnetic stickers you put on your car in Japan on it from my many trips to japan
>>2789166>caterpillar toolsone of the best kept tool secrets out there. i've switched to buying all williams usa for my duplicate sets because snappy has gone off the rails on pricing. i can live without the bulky magnetic tray to save over half on the same sockets new
>>2789170Don’t let the dumbass harbor freight guys in on it They’ll ruin it
>>2789058Snappy is def better than HF, but ridiculously overpriced for a mild increase in quality over tools 1/4 the price. If you get a big student discount, it might be worth getting down on some of the main tools from Snappy. Maybe you get a full wrench set and your basic sockets, you will be using that stuff daily for decades. But the 1” drive stuff and specialty bent pliers that see use once every 6mos, There are alternatives like >>2789170 for about half the price of Snappy that are just as good. Also don’t go into mad debt before you start making money. Also you should find out if your workplace has a good Snap On rep. A big chunk of the premium price is for the service of the truck guy. If he’s a sheisty and only shows up once every 2 months, but you have a really good Matco guy, then it will suck if you have all Snap On and can’t get anything warrantied on time.
who the fuck buys these hideous things anyway? it seems like every boomer is buying a bambu to churn out as many ugly dragons and designs stolen from thingiverse as they can as fast as possible because they all think they can get rich or something

>>2788718Maybe some esoteric hippies? They're selling badly to mediocre printed colosseums and cesar heads in Rome these days and boomers buy them up.
The air coming out of the registers is room temperature. I listened to the condenser outside and it's not making any humming noises, fan is spinning just fine. Could it still be a bad capacitor? Maybe tomorrow when it's light out I could try cleaning the condenser coils. If it's not the coils or capacitor does that mean it's low on refrigerant? The unit is 6yrs old. Tried to do research before posting (lennox system in typical ranch house)
>>2789007im glad a2ls are gonna scare the shit out of homeowners so they never take this awful advice. you expect people to do subcooling? fix their leaks? these "people" cant even change an air filter once every 6 months.

i wish to build a standing desk, but wood seems to heavy for that, any ideas ?
I made mine out of styrofoam and it is great. Except when the wind blows.
i made one out of dried cum. you'd be surprised how resilient the stuff is.alternatively, one could take inspiration from a variety of african tribes and use dung.

seeking some kind validation for fixing things in this broken gay world? not gonna happen.
>>2786840Based on your story, if it’s actually true, you should stop trying to fix important things in your life. Work hard, save money, then buy those things.Your problem might be that you see 100 things out there you can fix, so you do. But you have a large pool to choose from. You pick things you can easily fix. But the specific problems issues that would save you money.. that’s a much much smaller subset of things. So you are probably stretching your ability ( or just lack experience ). It’s an easy trap to fall into. I do something similar with helping other people with their businesses.
>>2786840Your stuff aint broke, sounds like you are just improving which is engineer's job which you don't have a nack for, yet. Your knack is easily bring 0.7(not running, others see as 0) to 1(0.95 but they don't need to know) by addressing that .3 of broken, but not really able to bring 1 to 1.2 which requires improving bottle necks with much more and complete analysis and bring in parts that isn't there, and most of the time, running one are not worth imrpoving and efficiency has its cost.For your autism, go haul some broken shit at dirt price for free, fix it and sell/keep it at a fraction of new price and the rest thrown to scrap for them raw material autists.
>>2786840No for me its the reverse.
>>2786840I fix stuff for fun and mostly for free. I just fixed a street find lawn mower. cost me $70 to fix, gave it to my poor brother to sell.fixed a lawn mower a few years ago, gave it to my nephew to sell.I fix stuff that most people would throw away. often I just donate them to Goodwill.
Would a small 1hp lathe be able to drill a 12mm and 20cm of depth in 4140 steel? assuming the proper drill bit and speed is used?If not what's the minimum hp needed?
Anon is making 45acp barrels on the lathe again
>>2782390>>2782390nothere are literally calculators for this, but for anon's sake the hp needed is diameter times length (220mm convert to inch is 8.25 in) and then divide by pi. similar to the surface speeds/rpm calculation you can substitute pi for 4. your calculating the area of metal to be removed and converting to the area of hp needed inside the motor. 4140 vs 1018 vs o1 tool steel only affects rpm/feed rate.then 8.25/4 is a bit above 2hp needed.
>>2782390These machines work like a dremel zero torque but crazy fast rpm to remove material
