I have here a broken LNBF (TV antenna receptor). Is it possible to repair it EASILY?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_downconverter#LNBFs
>>961045
What's broken exactly
>>961047
This, OP. Can't tell you if it's a cheap fix if we don't know what's wrong with it.
>>961045
assuming the parts are labeled, the only thing you can service in there are the voltage regulators that power the mixers/amps.
either that or the receiver's LNBF power system is what's actually fucked.
I collected on the street a broken cheap portable radio. There is anything interesting to get from this scrap, besides the ferrite magnet baton?
>>961044
how cheap?
speakers and buttons.
>>961044
>interesting
no it´s just a radio
>useful
maybe, if you want to recycle some pots and switches
trying to fix it will be more enjoyable than trying to take it apart for some micro switches
Not a shitpost, first ever thread.
I decided to start growing some chilies in a small space in my home. I have many varied chilies in my time, but never grown. From anyone with more experience, would this be a fair start-up material list?
Yeah it looks like a pretty okay setup for some dank weed.
>>960985
Cool. I plan to convert this space into a plant room, going to line the room with tinfoil and insulation, seal it off at the door'floor etc, the door will have a fresh air intake vent, struggling for out-vent ideas as the room is in the middle of my house with obvious way to vent out the heat, I don't want tubes roping about, gotta be discreet, chilies arn't welcome by me, the people hate chilies what can I say.
>>960993
Don't use tinfoil it'll create Hotspot on your chillis. Use flat white paint or actually growing fabric.

Thats sweet! I don't know what to rate it without a scale of skill involved, but seems great to me! Have been curious about wood carving. What type of carving tools do you use?

Hello, I'm sorry, I just don't know which board to put this in. But does anybody know if this ring has any meaning.
>>960956
It's clearly a fish, sticking it's tongue out, with wings, and it's penis has a bone piercing of some sort. .
Looks like a shitty ring that shitty sports teams gives their players. Probably some shitty college or high school.
>>960956
Someone's diy ravenclaw ring? especially with that lightning bolt.
I've never done anything remotely like this. How hard would it be to patch this wall and make the shower usable?
>>960872
I don't know about how to do a tile job but I can tell you that the board the shower head is tired to is not secured. Fix that before you close everything up.
>>960872
Go to BIGBOX home store
buy:
>1/2" concrete tile backer board
>CBU screws
>1 small pail of RedGuard memebrane
>latex-modified powder thinset tile mortar (you'll mix with water)
>unsanded grout of your choice
>tiles
>silicone sealant for where the tile meets the tub and the joining wallComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
you need to bust out the sheetrock on the other side too, it's moldy and fucked.
quick fix so you can shower until you get all the materials in:
silicone a plastic sheet (something like tyvek) to the studs, tiles and bath; poke holes in it for the taps and shower head. you can peel it all off easy when it's time to do the job properly.
Anyone in /diy/ uses a private tracker? If yes, which one is the best for anything /diy/ related?
Already checked BitMe but I wish to know if there's something else out there.

Bump.
Hey Frank, funny to see you here
>>961711
I think I don't follow.
I know this should be an easy project but I have no experience with this kind of stuff, I've only done diy with electronics before. I want to mount pic related to my ceiling. Any suggestions or tips?
I live in a very old house and none of the doorways are the right size so I can't just use it in a doorway.
Does such a thing exist?
I have virtually no tools of my own aside from an old cordless drill, and I'm looking to pick up some basic metalworking powertools. E.g., rotary tool, drill press, small arc welder, hand grinder, etc. My problem is that I'm on a college budget, and I'm not sure where to start looking for good tools that aren't going to set me back too much.
I'm actually going to a flea market today hoping to find something, but if anyone has any better ideas than that I would very much appreciate it.
>>960754
The truth is you won't find good or reliable tools for small change.
Buy second hand but you're either gonna find cheap tools or good tools.

Estate sales are a good resource if you aren't bidding against a bunch of other assholes. Rural (I.e. Farming) estates seem to have a larger variety up for grabs.

What is a decent table top belt sander in the $100-150 range? I am looking at the 3 below:
WEN 6502

Powertec BD4600

Doing some knife kit projects and need a sander to shape the wood handles. Also for future /diy/ reasons in general.
The majority of stuff in that price range is all coming out the sane hung low Charlie factory, re-branded with a few minor changes here and there; you're not going to really benefit from one or the other any more than you would buying a belt sander and clamping it upside down to your work bench.
You might also be better off with a strip sander rather than a wide flat bed belt sander for handle shaping.

>You might also be better off with a strip sander rather than a wide flat bed belt sander for handle shaping.
That is one other question I had. Generally what is the purpose of one vs the other? The strip sander I'm looking at is the Grizzly 1x30
>>960719
A flat belt is simply that, flat. If you want to sand long flat surfaces or joints you would use that.
Vertical discs help when forming outer radius curves and beveled edges.
Strip Sanders are very much like bobbin Sanders in theory but only allow work on an open edge. They will match the curvature of your cut easier and you can use flat or curved belt supports to help you sand your work piece.
Example, if you want to sand a flat top of a knife handle with a beveled edge on both sides the disc...

Here you go buddy!
quick question anyone know how to check capacitors? already looked into it and found out about esr meters
>pic related
but from there on everything just looks so old its like some abandoned corner of the web or chinese
any suggestions on a good esr meter or a better method to test if a caps failing or not.
esr is just a characteristic of capacitors, so the number by itself tells you nothing unless you have documented ratings (or brand new caps) to compare with. typically neither is available to you, unless you bought the caps yourself from a reputable supplier.
as for testing ESR, there are youtube videos showing how to do it with a scope and function generator, if you have those.
>>960677
There are /diy arduino RLC checkers I think you'll be able to find one for yourself easily..
>being on /diy/
>not owning a precision LCR bridge
I want to do this masks, looks so great. :V
Anmyone know or have the patterns?
this one too
>>960522
These masks are known as plague doctor masks and everybody knows how to make em. There are quintillions of pepakura files for all of them. Please do a google search the next time you want to shit up the board
>>960535
Why are you bullying him? This is pretty much a DIY topic. He didn't ask specifically for paper patterns. Heck, he maybe wanting to make it out of welded steel plates, dude. Of course not but chillax
Anyhow I'd recommend looking at...

Hey I dunno if this is the right board, but anyway. I have a straight razor I want to restore (pic related), however I haven't been able to sharpen it to be shave ready. I can get it sharp with the 4k grit but when I go to 8k it loses all the sharpness. What is the adequate technique for doing it? Also how can I make the razor shiny as a mirror and get rid of most stains?
>>960481
Check YouTube.
Either you're not doing 8k for long enough to gain the edge or you're changing the angle and rolling the edge off.
Try 4k then stropping it
>>960691
This sounds about right. It's a skill, OP, one that I can't grasp, unfortunately; so stick at it over time.
