I want to make a ring for my significant other for Christmas.
This is far out of DIY realm, I'm use to working with wood, but I would like this to be made out of some type of metal. If I'm able to put sometime of stone in it, than that would be cool. But not a requirement.
Not looking to put a diamond in it, but some stone if that's possible.
I'm looking for someone to point me in a guide or a right direction. Looked through the google helpful links and didn't see anything.
There are plenty tutorials on how to make a silver ring from a coin. Be creative. Putting a stone in it shouldn't be too hard.

What about a wire wrapped ring OP? you can set stones in it. There's a guy [and ill post a link if I can find it before submitting this.] who does these really neat wire woven rings.. does like Celtic inspired patterns and such. and you don't really need much, just a ring sizing bar doohicky some various pillars an snips. some silver wire, a small torch and some soft silver solder.
then its just youtube videos from there.

Anyone have experience with this? Is it worth the investment?

over $100 for a fancy vice?
I'd rather just invest in a DIY reflow setup and have my designs enter this millennium.

if you're making a display to sell them for a business, yes.
looks like a bunch of 80/20, stock set screws, aluminum stock, and some stainless steel rod
Bored off day.
Any idea what material I should put these components on? Box doesn't seem like its a go. I'm gonna put the whole thing on a wall. Also, need more spaces cuz I'm fitting in the monitor as well.

Found this key fob from the 70's that matches my car's make and model in an antique shop, but the epoxy emblem is out of place and won't budge.
Safe methods to place it properly?
I don't want to ruin it. I'll never find another one ever again.
Is it safe to heat it with a heat gun to loosen the adhesive?
filp the coin over,
use a heat gun on low. it will pop off.
the imperfection only adds to its charm. check your OCD, nigger.
can I hardware my smoke detectors like this? or would that fuck up the communication?
this is an older home that I am adding the line to, so its not so easy to line them all up in a row

I need alternative ways to make money on the internet, I have some bank debt and am currently unemployed. Does anyone here have any tips, or website that can give me at least temporary financial assistance?
Asking how to make money on 4chan never seems to work. You're going to get people telling you to suck dicks or get a job. Sell blood plasma and sell anything you have and don't need.

Whats the consensus on the safety of pallets for indoor furniture?
I've read articles like http://www.cupboardsonline.com/2011/04/when-trends-attack-shipping-pallet.html but I've also seen countless pallet projects and no nationwide wave of listeria cases and methyl bromide poisoning, so...

millions of hipsters build random shit out of pallets and put next to their bed
it is fine

Its fine I'm sure. Just don't let the vegans know.

Oh wow, even a shitty carpenter could turn all that wood into a proper and nice looking desk.
Instead they chose to just nail all that shit together and it looks fucking awful.
So I bought a nice solid steel Stanley no4 plane for planing boards about 2m or less. At first it kept grabbing, then I sharpenned it a lot, now it only grabs a little. I think the rest is just going to be learning muscle memory how to use it. I've bevelled the blade so it cuts about half the width of the blade with the corners ground back slightly.
I find I can get full length ribbons if I completely throw my body into the plane for the length of the cut. How do hipsters make it look so easy? In pictures it doesn't look like its very hard. Pictures make it...

Ever shake a cabinetmakers hand? If you had, you would remember it. Its putting your hand in a vise made of dried out leather.
>Also I am 70kg and I get wafer thin cuts. The blade is adjusted properly
One of these statements is contradicting the other. If the blade is adjusted properly then you should every get a nice, thick shaving or you should get bogged down in the wood. If the shaving is thin your plane is either taking too small of a bite or its foot is warped.

Well many places on the internet said that the very edges of the planes blade should be rounded off slightly to avoid sharp lines on the edge of each pass and to avoid digging in. They also said that full width shavings would be indicative of a blade adjusted too low. So I sharpenned it accordingly. If I adjust it way out I do get full width shavings. But I am just smoothing the boards and I do get nice shiny boards at the end of it. About 10 seconds worth of 1200grit sanding nets me a silky smooth shiny board.

This. I recently started building cabinets and your hands need to tough as nails (pun somewhat intended).
went to /g/ with this and they recommended i come here for assistance. How can I make this go faster than it does? it was free so i dont care too much about it, /g/ said either:
>swap motors
>weight reduction
or
>use better batteries
its wet cause i drove it in light mud, but it is brand new. help me kindly /diy/ please and thank you.
take apart a laptop battery and use those cells instead. Make sure it's fully charged before you take it apart.
Tape in 9V. Connect small terminal to top left, and big terminal to bottom right (as pictured).

replace the motor with a brushless motor. A 1 KW brushless motor should make it go really fast.
