the plastic/fiberglass panels? there's all kinds of products, including actual stones. How do you "use" a wall?

usually the speakers have two leads.

If you look at the plug (that red stuff in the middle) it looks like it's a pair of speakers.

The way you're holding the plug makes it look like the left side might be red and green and the right side might be black and grey.

Again, just a guess.

I guess they could ground each speaker to the chassis and run one lead, but that's not common.

>>1757593
thanks anon, I appreciate the advice. Gonna try wiring it up tomorrow when it's light out. here's a pic of the back of the plug and speaker

>>1757593
looks like the multimeter gives a reading for red as - and grey as + which confuses me further. Gonna hit the sack but if the threads still up I'll post again tomorrow. Thanks again

>>1757527
Each speaker has an amplifier on it.
The audio signal is all you need

Are you going to call it a clippo or a zipper, that's the first thing you need to decide.

>>1757477
Well i take the characteristics of both lighters and i combine it in something to my taste

>>1757481
>Are you going to call it a clippo or a zipper, that's the first thing you need to decide.
Well ziper is kinda taken to probably clippo will be engraved, but lets first make it. The name will come naturally

>>1757487
Ive seen mini clippers, probably be your best bet. Regularly ones won't fit inside the zippo lid

>>1757470
zippo makes butane inserts now

what is it?

>>1757423
it's a camera (petri 7s)

any non-runny adhesive that lets you fuck about with the positioning and stays flexible after curing.
so no superglues, no epoxies, no contact cements. neutral cure silicone and some types of instant gasket will work, but tend to come in giant tubes. colophony or tar would also work if the widget never gets too hot or cold.
if you don't have anything on the shelf buy some b7000 because it comes in a tiny tube, thus no big loss when the leftovers harden up before you get to use it again.

>>1757429
The correct answer is flex glue.

>>1757430

thanks
I used a clear silicone caulking. Maybe it will come off, but at least the residue would be easier to remove if I ever have to reglue it.

Tanks are expensive, gas is a consumable.
Stick is cheap, but higher skill requirement then wire feed machines, limited utility on thin material but on the thick end of the scale is much more capable.
You need 220 for any real stick machine though.

Oxy acetylene welding is supposed to be the easiest to start with apparently and it's also a lot more versatile a tool than a stick welder. I've been shopping for a good kit for a little while now and haven't decided on one.

For gas prices call your nearest AirGas

call up your local "airgas" you can also use propane, that might save you some bucks.

>It's just three sheets of metal, fans, filter and a bunch of screws.

So what are you asking for, go make one.

What?

>>1757309
People write bots to quickly buy tickets that are listed way under market value and sometimes to buy up all the tickets to control the market. People have made some pretty good money, but I’m guessing its too late to get into the market.

>>1757373
Probably more trouble than it is worth if you need to start from scratch. The original guys who fucked the ticket market relied on the fact that TicketMaster only used like 20 different captchas.

Also fuck you and fuck the middle men who make it cost $500 to see any big act.

A lot of places just immediately sell tickets to resell sites and cut a deal where they get a cut of the mark up prices.

It was stored after washing. Didn't let it completely dry before capping it

That is absolutely rust. It almost looks like a chrome coating is on there which is failing as well, probably not but it looks like it.

Any way the solution to your woes is to grit blast it. Oh what's that you say, you don't have one? That's ok. Fill it one quarter full of abrasive blast media,sand might work buts its not very sharp. Coal slag is the best.

Now fill it with water and put an electric beater in a drill and get it clean with swirling the water around.

Electric egg beater

What specific brand is that? I've abused used stainless steel thermoses for 40 years and I've never witnessed anything like that... not even close.

Something else to be worried about, chinese knock-off thermoses leaching chrome oxides (or whatever metal the plated that with) into your drink.

enjoy your chelation therapy.

>>1757349
This Anon knows what's up. I'm salty enough that I can rust non-stainless steel that I'm working just by looking at it hard for about 5 seconds. Stainless? I've had spots show up on stainless rifle barrels (416) in a couple of months after installed them.

Most people are putting their shit on ebay to turn a profit from nostalgia fags.
If you want tech you'll have to sneak onto a college campus or slip behind an office building and raid their dumpsters.
You'll have to visit the large scrap-dumpsters found in housing construction areas, if you're looking for wood, pipe, and wire.

One minute in, it said he got lazy and stopped caring about what he was shoving in his mouth. Food that isn't fully sealed and has clear signs of it being rotten shouldn't be ingested. Only a retard of his caliber would eat expired meat and uncooked fish.
For people that still insist on dumpster diving to obtain meals, they should also check that the food hasn't been put on recall.

>>1757184
I live by a block of stores we call 'The block of Stores' that always has a new mom & pop biz going out of business and then the store is immediately gutted and turned into a new store. I dumpster dive and pull out perfectly good fixtures and shit all the time.

>>1757408
they read on the internet copper was expensive, so they cut the cord, spend 20 minutes removing the pvc jacket, spend $10 on gas to get to the metal recycle place, get their $0.10 and then drive home.

TLDR: retarded, that's why.

>>1757184
I hate scrappers so damn much, principally just on how fantastically moronic they are.

I my area 10 years ago, people would put all sorts of things to the kerb, like washers and dryers and mowers, a lot of the times these machines still worked, it's just people got new ones and put the old one to the kerb.

Used to be a pretty easy way that maybe worked, or maybe needed some TLC, then a lot of times that appliance or mower could be flipped for like $20-$50

Then scrappers started prowling, loading up their beat down trucks with 20 appliances, all roped and corded together, all so they can take good usable or fixable machines and get $0.10 a pound at the metal yard.

I once tried to explain this to a scrapper I've seen around... my advice on how he could make more money couldn't penetrate the meth in his brain

Dumpster dive ALL the things.

Yup... candelabra base bulbs. Get some led ones and be done with em for a long time.

dude, the illegals at home depot manage to do drywall without issue. you'll be fine.

just go in knowing what needs to be done, so have a few sheets of drywall ready, a tub of pre-mixed jointing compound, tape, some drywall spatulas.

Is it viable to seal a crack in my exhaust manifold using thermite?

go to some old ass industrial park and find some shit that is rusted to fuck and bust it up with a hammer. I was working on a dock last year scrapping it with a sledge hammer, didnt even need the torch.

>>1757257
Not unless you can figure out some way to stop it from burning all the way through. Just a tip to anyone who wants to try this: DO NOT attempt to stop it with water. Molten steel will splatter everywhere in the most violent manner you will ever see.

>>1757514
My wife says to rub some baking soda and vinegar on it

>>1757257
Depends on whether you want the molten iron to become the plug in your exhaust, or if you want the heat itself to melt the two sides together. Either way it's inferior to an oxyacetylene torch. AFAIK thermite welding is only done to unweldable alloys, or in other fringe circumstances. Look it up.

>>1757065
Even if you don't *have to* everyone should try it. One day you might be thrown into a situation where you don't have time to practice and work out and problems

I did.

It took me six times longer to build than I expected mainly due to buying materials as I needed them instead of just buying outright and not having a shop to work out of.

I also ”wasted” a lot of time trying to get things perfect when they didn't have to be.

Don't get a small van. You will outgrow it quick.

Containers fuck with cell reception but if you're near a window, problem mostly solved.
Look over Andrew Camaratta's container castle on youtube and tincancabin.com for practical examples. Everything not practical and proven is shit to be ignored.
I like containers but only for their best uses, exemplified by industrial and military space. Art projects pollute container discussions. The Sea Box site is worth a look.
A house is a response to a specific situation. The material should never be a goal. What it DOES for you should dictate your build. Containers are really fucking easy to work with if you can weld and fab. Their floors are nice for machine tools because they're strong enough to ship those tools globally. Forget every tiny house and hobbyfag meme and only copy industrial and military success. The hobbyfag world only exists because not everyone can afford industrial solutions but you can afford some of them.
Buy "one trip" containers, not shitboxes which are beaten to death. Learn container grades. This saves you much labor and expense. High Cubes rule for their extra internal height. A 40' one trip High Cube with doors on both ends made by Danish wypipo ran me a bit over five grand delivered. It's now my ride-through motorcycle garage/shop. My welding/machine shop is two 40' High Cubes with standard doors welded side by side. Neither look interesting from outside because I dislike windows and attracting thieves. I camo'ed the street side of my containers and they nearly vanish behind vegetation. Leaving them ugly invites curiosity. I painted the roofs white.
If you want to build a house, you really need a workshop no matter what house you build so place a 40' High Cube on railroad ties (containers are supported by the corner fittings, they need no slab foundation), add a man door and have at it. I had my power pole placed first so I'd have immediate power, then ran a subpanel inside my shoptainer at leisure. I added the second box later.

>>1757007
continued
Building your shop helps you learn how to cope with your climate. Newer containers are important because they have good door gaskets and are straight. My bro installed a basic split HVAC setup in his and insulated on the inside with a thin layer mounted on furring strips. We helped build each others container machine shops and his is nicer but mine is twice the size. Mine aren't insulated yet but I'll likely go with insulated metal panels on the outside if I bother (wood is for furniture and bonfires).
A 40' HC has enough room for a pretty good home shop and if my house burned tonight I'd hang my hammock in my shop and press on.
