A small single ended stereo tube amp.
Finally finished off the axe yesterday
Now I've got to get back to finishing off a couple of kitchen knives.
>>997756
somebody would have just called them needlessly pedantic if he referred to it otherwise, it got the point across.
earbud wrap. I just took a model from thingiverse and chopped off part, forgot to round the corner
knuckle dusters. The shape is staying simple until I get dimensions that feel good. I have 8 minor variations about to print so that I can try the various sizes
>>997986
I've been using it for a few months and haven't had any issue with the cable.
Yup, it's going to get a better grip once the size is right. I suck at modeling right now so I don't want deal with resizing after the bevel is added.
>>997756
>not calling it a woogala

>>997963
Are you retarded? Look up a set of brass knuckle dusters - they are. that shape for a number of reasons.
The curved bottom fits in the palm and spreads the impact so you don't break bones. The individual 'knuckles' act as a point of force to break bones.

I like the legs, though they don't fit in with the rest of the design. That said, it doesn't look finished, so I'll judge later on.

>thank you for purchasing a nignog
>>998705
I laminated a section of Hickory- which is a great shock resister on the inside edge and there's a length of African Wenge on the outside edge which has some pretty awesome compression properties. Both are stained black and then I did 5 coats of 2-pack polyurethane over the top, its also got cotton thread around the handle and near the top that I did a coat of epoxy over and sort of bulks it up. Then did the leather bind over the top of that.
Rest of the inlay and counterweight are brass. Head is 5 x layers of 1095 and 6 x layers of 15N20, has a really nice 'ring' to it.
Sort of happy with the finish, think in hindsight I might have done a few things different in looks, but overall really happy how it handles- really swings very nice and quite controllable with 2 hands (its a bit over 3ft long)
>>998674
Dem tables!
Make sure you give us an update when that's stained and polished.
Homemade capacitor charger with voltage control and hysteresis to avoid fast comparator oscillation when the capacitors are fully charged.
I kinda fucked up because the duty cycle is 60% and I can't change it unless I rip some traces, but anyway, works fine enough.

I made that flower pot foundry from the other thread. It turned out breaddy good. Haven't melted anything down yet. I'm still waiting for a crucible to be delivered (I couldn't find any old fire extinguishers).
>>998839
That video made me very nervous
This is the first project that I've made so far, as I'm a complete beginner when it comes to making things.
I don't think I did too bad. I know it's not an original idea, but I was hoping this would get me into eventually making more complex things.
It may not be pretty, but it works, I had fun, and learned stuff.
>>998946
>>998946
I also made a fight stick. I was gonna use a Tupperware container but I like working with wood

Nah, if your hands are dry you can touch the capacitors without problems, if you have sweaty hands it could burn you, but it isn't that dangerous.

Some titanium (or magnesium idk) rings I made. Someone broke a tool probe at work and the tip was a ruby so I set it in there. Super glue. I know. These is just a prototype.
I made this back when i was in middle school, the wood part at least.
I made a coffee table
I made several shirts.

Please no bully...I had just bought a house and needed a cheap and stylish table...
I made a fid from a fid-shaped clamp I had laying around.
And then I spliced a rope. The eyelet wasn't tight enough to stay in there, but it helped my form.

>>1000783
Fuck off mate, this was discussed a thousand times already. 4chan was based on a nip site, but it had containment boards since forever.
And we still have those, so please, go back to /a/, /mlp/, or /lgbt/.
>>1000791
Well that's too fucking bad.
>>1000778
DONT BULLY THE WEEB PLS
>>1000791
>implying /diy isn't the containment board.
>>1000826
Well, not really. I don't remember seeing this stuff offending anyone before /diy/ was made - partly because the volume is so low.
Someone calculated the post volumes of several boards some time ago and the result was that /b/ dominated the site's traffic (duh), followed by /pol/ and /v/ & /vg/. The biggest anime-related board, /a/, was pretty small in comparison and lost to several other non-anime boards. Based on traffic, this site is thus dedicated mainly to inane garbage, general discussions, nazism, racism and video games. Mongolian paintings are just a decoration.
I built a ramp and a board to fit a cat flap in a window so our cats can come and go

does my PC count? or is that more /g/?
project 1/5 i found something like it and tweaked it for the tools i had/could afford
project 2/5 I had some new tools to play with so i made something I thought I could use and freed up some space in my cabinets
Project 3/5 didn't really like how this turned out. I wanted to make 4+ and go wild and make a coffee table out of them but I didn't like how this one looked so I made it a general purpose box for larger tools (sander, jigsaw, angle-grinder etc.)
project 4/5 something I finally needed a workstation that doubles as support for my tablesaw. going cheap i built it out of what I had and what was affordable, a good slab of 3/4'' plywood made a table for my workstation and another table for a drill-press and router with a couple 2x4s for support
http://imgur.com/a/AQ1mR
I made this back in December. It looks like crap, but hey, I made it.

For the inner pieces of wood you could probably get away with lighter/thinner timber and more of them.
Plus if you chamfer the edges it'll also stop blowouts/splinters

The rhubarb leaf is part of the forming. Here it is striped.
>>1001021
well this is just an example, i'm routing the edges down to make it rounded and using threaded rods/washers/nuts to hold it together. I agree the hard edges and rope that's in this example sucks and probably wouldn't hold very well
>>1001011
nice, I like how high you have it. Honestly i wanted to put mine up higher too but my wife's short so I had to have it more accessible to her. It sucks because everytime I get up from the table and I have one of the long handle pots on the end I usually hit my head on it.
>>1001033
That's what I plan on doing, and running through a threaded rod through them instead of rope to give it more strength

>>1001077
I considered it, but I decided against it in the end. If it was a case made for transporting it then I probably would. I might make one of those later. For now this thing just sits in my room.
Also, it's important for the reeds to be able to dry out after playing, and I'm not sure I would want to keep them in a tight environment like that. Definitely something to consider in the future though, thanks for the comment!

It's honestly not bad, I have a tiny apartment in new England with two kids.

Haha thanks a lot man, i am going to make 3 more, since everyone seems to like them i will make a tutorial on how to make these masks.
I bet this thread will be 404'd by then but i will do my best, if its archived before i finish the tutorial i will create a thread with the mask as pic, and explain everything in detail with pictures.
Thanks everone for your compliments, it means a lot!
I will probably be done with the tutorial this saturday.

>>997727
I made this notched straight edge (it's for working on fender scale guitars) from some old kitchen counter trim I had laying around, the tools I used were a sharpie, a file and a dremel tool, you can do it without the dremel but it is quicker with it, making this saved me $81.76 (see link to StewMac for full horrific price) and took all of half an hour to make!

>>1001856
Is it an exact copy of a mask already in use by a company or person?, if so then provide a link so we can judge.
A direct copy of a company logo or emblem will probably get you in hot water but a generic mask sculpture will not unless as stated it is a VERY close copy of one already in use.
>>1001889
Please ignore my last post, I just found it online and I say you'd be in big trouble if you tried to sell these, you might be able to give them away as gifts or maybe trade them for other good's rather than money but you will never make a business out of them.
Nice work by the way anon!
>>999066
Nice posters, how's high school?
>>1001856
You could probably get away with selling them anywhere but on the internet. At least, for a good while, before anyone connected to Sony, Naughty Dog, or Crash Bandicoot stumbled across it. Then they'd probably just hit you with a cease-and-desist letter rather than sue you, because the suit wouldn't be worth the cost to them. Fucking awesome job, by the way!
>>1001829
Not something you want to make, I've done it to temporarily jerry rig something, but go to a junkyard and pull one off a car. It'll cost you 35$ and no liabilities. Some shit I don't bother making myself.

>>1003176
Ergonomics are often the reason given for using a mechanical keyboard, yet the keyboard you've made entirely denies those principles. You can talk about tactile benefits all you want, but when you have shit for wrist support, that all gets thrown out the window. Your keyboard becomes an abomination of form over function.
I made this subkick mic thingy. It wasn't rocket surgery, I just sourced the components and put it all together to look nice and function. It sounds triffic.

>Ergonomics are often the reason given for using a mechanical keyboard
I can tell you that whoever claims that mechanical keyboards are "more ergonomic" doesn't know shit about what they're saying.
Not to say that there aren't some mechanical keyboard designs that aren't ergonomic (see the ergodox or some keyboards from matias as prime examples), but you'd still get better results by using the same form with a membrane, since mechanical keyboards are by design tall as shit.
Mechanical keyboards are a pleasure to use, they're far more durable than traditional membrane keyboards and also highly modifiable, but whoever claims that they are more ergonomic than a flatter membrane keyboard is plain out wrong.

But here we are. Kyuubey and a Tachikoma
Im in the process of making a bottle cap catcher with a bottle opener, but I had problems with staining it today.
I left it on for about 3 minutes like the instructions said but when i wiped the wood down to remove the excess stain some of the stain came off and you can see the original wood color, whats going on? Is it that I put too much pressure on the wood when I wiped it down or the kind of rag i used to wipe it down. I used the blue shop towels that you get at auto zone.
Image not related to the post but related to the thread
>>1003446
That's actually pretty good.

Nice, I got on a real wood stove kick a while back, did some hardcore research into it. Ended up building a top lit updraft stove (well rather several until I got the ratios and everything correct), but those rocket stove types are pretty neat too.
>>1003820
>top lit updraft stove
I know the forced air gassifier stoves burn the cleanest of any biomass stove. Rocket stove comes in second. I've been thinking about making one of those small forced air gassifiers out of tin cans. They are very compact. But, I need them for camping and forced air requires electric. Non-forced air TLUDs normally use a lot of fuel packed into them and I only need a little bit of fire that burns up all the fuel by the time I'm done cooking. That gives it a quick cool down time too so I can hit the trail agian.
Wasn't really worth the time put into it, but it makes for a good decoration on my wall.

No doubt a bunch of issues on this, but it works fine for what i need. Its just a simple chefs knife. 1095 carbon steel blade.

I didn't do enough research on my sander though, found out its for wood. It has metal sticking out on either side of the sanding belt so it makes it a huge pain in the dick to sand a lot of stuff right. It even restricts my bevels on most knives.

Repairing guitars is what got me into woodworking. I would suggest start with one aspect, learn that, then another aspect. There's plenty of sites that sell kits with all the parts but you can avoid the more complicated accurate type things like cutting fret slots, refretting a neck etc that also take specialty tools.
Check stewmac.com
>>1003663
I probably could, a 1mx1m piece of Kevlar is around $50 here. I'd probably have to buy special thread but it looks like I could use my sewing machine and a jean needle. Looks like it only comes in 1 color which is a yellow. I'd probably charge another 50 for the time and effort and depending on the weight of the finished product it could be another $20 to post.

At least you can do handles and stuff on it, the longer belt sanders with a slightly narrower profile are what most people recommend with a sander. Better wear, less heat and come in a fairly wide variety of grits.
Sort of have a love-hate with them.
>I love they do a lot of work so damn quick
>I hate that they sometimes fuck shit up beyond repair!
Mainly I like files simply because I can 'see' exactly where the materials being removed and mashing it up against a belt is a guesswork thing sometimes, but that said the belt/linisher has its place especially for the finer grinds and polishing
