I don't really come here so I don't know if this is the place to ask. I figure it's natural enough to not really be called a "weapon" per se.
I don't care if it comes out crude or anything, but what would be the tools necessary for taking a general and large hunk of wood and make it look like pic related? I imagine with luck alone you could find everything above the grip.
As for experience, I'm somewhere below novice.

Ok so i have in front of me a
Toshiba Satellite A665D-S6059
with a AMD Phenom II P920 1.6 GHZ CPU
and a ATI Mobility Radion HD5650 GPU 1Gb
specs here -
http://www.cnet.com/products/toshiba-satellite-a665d-s6059-16-phenom-ii-p920-4-gb-ram-500-gb-hdd-us/specs/
it is in the black screen status and as a last effort i will try to re-do the bios in case of corruption.
My question is this, im told this processor is good and performs well for mobile CPU's
Is there a way to salvage the Cpu and GPU if the motherboard is dead?
if so to what or any links about it?
>>985459
The processor will be socketed, and if you had the ability to remove the GPU, that would mean you had the ability to reattach it and fix the laptop.
Also, this has gotta be a troll. The P920 is six years old, and the lowest-performing of the entire family. It's outperformed by modern cellphones.

sorry im forced to use old parts no one wants i am currently using a Dell D600 to monitor this thread.
the laptop worked well for its previous owner and im hoping to salvage more than just the HDD, Ram, optic drive,ect, and battery cells
OP, there is nothing wrong with salvaging old hardware :)
Are you sure it's not your lcd power inverter that needs replacing?
so... i want to build a cooling table for my laptop. I live in a tropical country and the standard cooling tables do not even come near to get the job done... so i have this two ideas but i don't know if they make sense...Could someone help me?
Sorry about my bad english

these are pretty stupid. to cool something, you either blow cool air onto it or suck hot air away from it. you have it so the air moves parallel to the hot surface so as to cause virtually no change in temperature.
>>985400
that's why in the first we hava a cooler directed on the heat area... and the second we have the ar passing through the heat sink... cooling the sink
I've had this zippo lighter for quite a while now and I only recently refilled it after it was lying in my closet for almost two years now. The thing is the lighter doesn't work even though I changed the flint and the wick. I even used the meme fuel as refill. It sparks but the wick doesn't light up. However if I use a match to light the wick up, it works perfectly. Does anyone here have any experience with this sort of thing? Any help is appreciated.

This fucking lever thing in my toilet broke.
Would it be best to?
1. Glue it togeather with apoxy
2. Buy a new one

Just buy a new one. They're only about 3$

I think I found a solution. I plan on building a boost converter/charging protection circuit and Li ion battery into the system, then writing a script that triggers touchdown when switch from car-Li ion cell
should work with one of my rpis I have laying around and a 5 dollar gpio addon board. biggest question now is which SBC is best, and what the most cost efficient package is. (the rpi monitors are super expensive or are tiny and suck)

i want to order a barbed fuel line adapter online as i cannot source it locally but i need help as i do not know what the thread is called. it is on many ford and perkins engines, here is an example picture of the fuel pump that i own that i need a coupling to fit.
here is a better picture
>>985166
I dont understand the question anon.
you need a new primer pump? or you need to adapt your current fuel lines to fit this priming pump?
is it just a diesel priming pump? you can use literally anything for that anon. from any model. what are you trying to do? you want to fit this somewhere else on the truck, blank where it would mount usually and run a hose between the two points? you would need to ask a mechanic to make you up two blanking plates easy enough job or make ityourself by cutting out some steel...

so you want that specific piece of pipe?
a fuel mechanic/diesel mechanic/brake shop can make one up for you. it's called a flared union. you've left the olive on the end of the pipe. this needs to be replaced. you can reuse the fittings you have just get a new compression olive.

Hello, im planning on making a buttonbox for sim gaming and wondering that when I use this
http://www.amazon.com/Reyann-Arcade-Encoder-Joystick-Fighting/dp/B00UUROWWK
Does it matter what buttons and switches i use with it?
As in can i use any rocker toggle switch i want regardless of Amper or Vatt?
For example, Can i use these?

>>985157
Yes, the rating just means what it can handle, not what it has to handle. The power you're dealing with here is low enough that just about anything will work.
Thanks. You made my box so much better now.
Help me do better than this /diy/. Needs to be adjustable vertically, be able to withstand heat and clamp on to the handle or side of the pot.
>>985135
Get a small metal clamp (you can get some tiny G-clamps or you can go with something like picture related), get some thin wire, a couple mm thick, thin enough to bend by hand, thick enough to hold up the weight of the thermometer, wrap one end of the wire around the clamp, you can be fancy and solder/weld it on or you could just wrap it around a few times, on the other end make a small loop, big enough for the metal part of the thermometer to go through but small enough so the plastic body doesn't. bam done. You can easily adjust the height by bending the wire in whatever direction you need, all the materials are cheap and easily replaceable so if they corrode from heat/whatever you're cooking you can replace them, is hight adjustable for different pots/levels of ingredients in the pot.
>>985135
to make it adjustable i would probably try some kind of rod with grub screws setup, like in pick related, this method is nice for ease of use while still keeping stability. then you just need a form of clamp either end.
not sure if this is what you are looking for advice wise but hope it helps for ideas.

You could start with something like this and modify it for your needs. Everything is adjustable.
Sup /diy/,
I'm planning of getting myself a long board, but there are rather expensive, so I prefer to build the deck myself and just buy trucks and wheels. Anyway, every tutorial I read recommends 2-3 layers of 1/4 inch plywood (that's like 6mm/layer). Could I just one layer of 0.6inches (15mm)? Or is it done with layers to give it some flexibility? I'd prefer using that single layer of 15mm plywood
>>985066
you can build a long board with some resin. and fiberglass, and a single sheet of construction grade shit-tastic plywood. its kinda flexy. but it works? LOL
>>985066
As long as the plies are similar thickness, and you have the same number of them, you should be good I think. A 1/4 board probably has three plies in it, so as long as your larger board has 9 or whatever it'd be similar. But just note that thinner plywood will probably be higher quality, as the inner plies of thick plywood may have knots/cracks/imperfections.
It's kind of silly though, because a 1/4 board (from which you could easily cut three rectangles and glue them together) is going to be much cheaper...

When OP realises why they're expensive.
How good do you trust Gorilla glue ?
i have to glue 2 piece of wood together, and i want to avoid using screw
I'd trust it more than a black man on the corner.
>>984962
how quick does it need to hold
I have had good luck with one minute loctite
it really does hold in just one minute
the main thing is keeping everything clamped while the glue cures
>>984964
well i don't have any clamp that fit where its need to glue but i added a weight to press on it.
I would like to build a small fluid bed for powder coating. The purpose is for quick and efficient but thorough coating of cast lead bullets (this removes the need for a wax-based lubricant and allows for cleaning feeding through bullet collators and also less mess in suppressors).
My current method to apply this coating is via a vibratory tumbler, which is totally satisfactory, but I just want to try something different. The perfect setup would allow me to drop a bunch of bullets on a mesh tray made out of something like hardware cloth, heat it up slightly, dunk it,...

A picture of some pc'd bullets I made for anyone interested. These are for 40 cal / 10mm, weigh about 185 grains.
>>984890
Those look really cool
>>984891
Thank you. I have a few other pictures just in case somebody is interested, I suppose it is a pretty DIY topic.
The ones previously pictured were applied with a vibratory tumbler filled with BBs.
This one is was applied with an electrostatic gun, which gives a very smooth feeling coat, but wastes a lot of overspray compared to tumbling, and takes much, much, much more time.
The bottom is shiny because there is an aluminum gas check attached to the base.
Hi guys, I really need rotary tool like dremel, but I'm kind of short on money. I was thinking about attaching flexible shaft to this motor I already have, but I lack experience with electric motors... So, my question is - can I, and if yes, how can I attach flex shaft to this motor?
>>984826
It should work
The main problem here is you didnt give a picture of the motor shaft and flex you want to use
>>984836
Here it is. I must buy flex, don't have one. Anyway, which motor and what kind of motor shaft is compatible with flex shaft?
>>984826
Don't be a pussy, get a bigger motor.
how to create these photos ?
