Welcome to /diy/, a place to:Post and discuss /diy/ projects, ask questions regarding /diy/ topics and exchange ideas and techniques.Please keep in mind:- This is a SFW board. No fleshlights or other sex toys.- No weapons. That goes to /k/ - Weapons. The workmanship and techniques involved in creating objects which could be used as weapons or the portion of a weapons project that involves them (e.g., forging steel for a blade, machining for gunsmithing, what epoxy can I use to fix my bow) may be discussed in /diy/, but discussing weapon-specific techniques/designs or the actual use of weapons is disallowed. Things such as fixed blade knives or axes are considered tools, things such as swords, guns or explosives are considered weapons.- No drugs or drug paraphernalia (See Global Rule 1). If you want to discuss something that could involve such things (e.g., carving a tobacco pipe from wood) that's fine, but make sure it's /diy/ related and doesn't involve drugs or it will result in deletion/ban.Helpful links:https://sites.google.com/site/diyelmo/ (archived)http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/
Some friendly suggestions for posting:- First ask Google, then ask /diy/. Your question will probably be better received if you do so.- List available resources (tools, materials, budget, time, etc.)- Try to use pictures and explain the goal, if possible- Be patient, this is a slow board; your thread will be around for days.- Share your results! /diy/ loves to see problems solved and projects completed!
I got 7 cubic yards of soil for my raised bedsShoveling it is killing meIs there like a way I could vacuum transfer it? I have an old shop vac and a leaf blower/sucker combo thing. I was thinking maybe if I just don't put the shop vac base on, or the leaf bag, one of those might work to like spray it into the bed. Or maybe that will just destroy them.Is there something like that? I'd buy one. Otherwise I could rent a loader but I'd also have to get it delivered and picked up, that gets kind of pricey.
>>2792257theoretically you could but that sounds retarded
>>2792260yeah that's why I made a thread, it sounded like a good idea for 5 minutes but then I thought maybe there's actually something intended for this purpose and I don't know what it's called.
I've been training tae kwon do for some time and I saw that there is a necessity of recreating some sort of detection on the armor. To give more context, in the major competitions, there are sensors in the armor that are responsible for detecting contact and the amount of force applied. I'm wondering if I can replicate it with an arduino and want tips on this.What I've found so far is that it is possible to use FSR sensors, but they are not good for measuring a scale of force. So I should be able to use load cells with an Arduino and a HX711 amplifier module. Any tips on doing this whole project? Hardest part for me might be inserting it all inside the armor.
strain gauges are the usual choice these days for force detection
For example, there are these load cells, and I could add them to the padding with some form of plate that covers some area, and this should allow me to validate where the kicks are hitting. Any ideias on how I should distribute these?
>>2791900Why not load cells?
bump
>>2791902Not a good fit for wearables due to rigidity, and a big ol' flex sensor gives you coverage that's more appropriate for something that's getting punched or kicked.
I want to do some stuff and I need a rotary hand tool. Some stuff includes maybe hitting a PC case and some wood. what do I get?
my dad uses this kind
>>2792248i bought the chinkshit variable speed version off amazon (wen brand.) it works fine. i wouldn't waste money on official Dremel™.
>>2792255Cordless or no?

>>2792086beer yeast is like 4-7 bucks or more a packet compared to 1 for wine yeast
>>2792150cope and grow your own yeast if you want it cheaper.
>>2792003Not either of those anons and I’ve never read that book but I can personally vouch for “The Complete Joy of Homebrewinh” by Papazian and “How to Brew” by Palmer. Both go into a lot of detail of not only yeast but of all of the core foundational knowledge needed for homebrewing. I think Papazians book is more fun to read, Palmer’s book gets incredibly autistic and mathematical. Both are essentials IMO. And yes, like the other anon said yeast is just as important to a beer flavor/style as the hops and grains you’re using. They’re wildly different and you can make entirely different beers by changing the yeast alone.
1. Can I put up drywall on this box or does the bottom need more support than the 4 corners?79in long (6.6ft), 24in wide (2 ft)2. Do I need support for the drywall all the way to the edge to the wall where the railing is coming out of (14.5in long gap)
>>2791803> And keeping the garage door intact to their request.Reading comprehension is not for everyone.
Just when you thought you had seen it all.I loved fixing houses for a living…homeowners ruined it
>>2790766You'll need cleats on the walls and ceiling. Give yourself something to nail to on every edge of drywall if you want to tape it.
It's a city ordinance thing. You cannot park your car in front of your house if it is not in front of a retaining wall or a garage door. Driveways are usually to the side of a house. Next time you look at a rowhouse, notice how they will all have garage doors.

>that guy who has a 5 figure wera/knipex/pb swiss/etc. tool collection in pristine collection, who has obviously never used them and is mechanically de-inclined as if raised by a single mother
>>2792227what about him? you want him to notice you and kiss you?
I broke of these pic related stoneware mugs and am thinking of doing a faux kintsugi thing. However, I also want to be able to microwave this thing, so JB Weld is out, epoxies are apparently out (temperature issues and potential fuming or whatever when exposed to enough heat), and superglue was never practical to begin with.Unless someone has any better ideas, I was thinking of resorting to a cement mixture of some kind and sorta painting on my gold (mica) pigment onto the cracks and then figure out how lacquers work.
>>2789759Instant coffee.
>>2789776Then what adhesive am I thinking about?
I have a kintsugi kit incoming in order to repair my gaiwan. Various urushi, gold, silver, tools. I have some background in miniature painting. I think I can get the mechanics down if I can come up with a good plan to bring it all together. >file edges of cracks>mugi-urushi to bring it back together >kokuso-urushi for the chip>sabi-urushi to fill in cracks>sand down>black urushi once or twice for buttery smooth lines>bangara urushi very thin>gold powderAs for a humidity cabinet, still undecided exactly how but the wet towel+box or bin technique should be fine. Might use seedling mat to increase temps.Anybody here work with urushi before? I'm excited to try.
Is that bio kintsugi crap any good?
>>2789804I'd rather microwave myself.

>>2792187Okay, I'll read this and look at horses while I'm outside.

can i replace a 320x240 54 pin lcd with a 640x480 54 pin lcd ?
yes. as long as it has the same number of pins nothing else matters.
>>2791916>can i replace a 320x240 54 pin lcd with a 640x480 54 pin lcd ?Definite maybe, you might find distortion of the device and screen don't match e.g. missing vertical/horizontal lines, quadrupled pixels but misaligned. They can be fine, check begot replacing it you're doing a retro handheld etc. If you're fixing a game gear, look up how to recapp them. The originals leak quicker than most.
>>2791956>If you're fixing a game gear, look up how to recapp them. The originals leak quicker than most.already did, also replaced the oroginal diplay cuz it was fuckedproblem its a 320x240 and i noticed the pixels sont match 100%, where there is movement the image look weird, i thought it was because of a shitty mod but turns out all the 320x240 GG mods have that problem
>>2791916why are you fucking around with a gamegear? just get one of those handheld emulators and have a 10x better experience.
Is it gay as a man to order sewing kits online so I can repair my socks DIY style? All the darning tutorials I see online are made by women.
>>2789993https://youtube.com/@Stylish_D?feature=sharedThis guy seems to know what he's doing. Learn from him.
It's not gay but you better be repairing some really nice socks to justify the time.
>>2789993It's not gay, just cheap. Buy some new fucking socks, spend a little bit more on better quality and hole wont be a problem.I learned how to sew in high school. Stitching up an otherwise good pair of jeans or a jacket is one thing. Socks or underwear though? Cmon dude.
Might want to take an AIDS test there princess.
Can you use the iron-on patches you use to repair jeans to repair socks?
What would be the cheapest way to accurately cut this shape out of a 3mm (11 gauge) piece of steel, without access to expensive machinist tools?
>>2792211Oh wait now that I think of it, wire EDM can do it.If +-0.1 is enough then have it laser cut
>>2792209You're gonna need a sharpie, and JIS number 2 screwdriver, and a 20oz claw hammer
>>2792212Sorry, I should have specified. Just needs to be within +/1 0.1mmAlright, so no way to do it in my garage?
sharpy to lay out the basic shapelots of filing
>>2792226Sure you could file it but it would take forever. Some help with a dremel maybe but it’s going to be damn hard to get that precision247steel makes single pieces and ships from China pretty fast
Seems like everyone and their dog is now importing and selling Chinese mini diggers.>picrel sells for $12k>small one for $4-5kSo standard retail margin of double what Cheng sells them for.Any equipmentanons have QRD on this?Should I buy temu digger for my kids?Is it gooder or worse than my woods PTO backhoe?
>>2791166Cheng has been getting betterGo with a Rippa or Infront or similar
>>2791166>that's a yanmar pump?No, that's a replacement pump made by Cheng for Yamaoka's excavator.
>>2786449why is no one making them state side if the margin is so high? labor??
>>2792155mainly the engine cost. USA has trade protectionist policies ( aka EPA standards) to prevent Cheng from dumping his diesel engines here.Cheng's diesel engine is no Kubota, but it does the job just as good at 1/10th the price
>>2792155yes, US labor is insanely expensive>>2792157chang just buys EPA engines and puts them in the diggers (like briggs and Kubota engines)it would probably be cheaper to import a kubota engine directly from japan then through chang
