/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Time to build some tables / shelves there anon.

You spend more time climbing over your own filth than getting anything done in a disaster like that.

TFW in 2 months i no longer have access to my universities facilities and need to build my own while paying off student loans

>>1258371
Yup trying to sort it out, usually I'm in the shop to fix something but I can't find fuck all for tooling at this point

>>1258367
Can you even do anything with that? I thought I was bad, but this is hoarder level stuff. Even if you can do work in that, it would be very dangerous - plenty of stuff to get snagged, trip on, set on fire, etc.

You need to clean and organize that, ASAP. I sincerely doubt you are getting much done in that state, and if you are, having things organized and put away would likely double your productivity. Give everything a place, and put it in its place.

>>1258371
you spend more time getting shit out than actually doing a job, fuck off.

>>1258374
>trying to sort it out

Remember the mantra anon: A place for everything, everything in it's place.

The only problem you have here is that there is no place for anything to belong. Hit up yard sales this weekend and grab some old shelves, bookcases, or metal racking for a few bucks, problem solved.

>you spend more time getting shit out than actually doing a job, fuck off.

why don't you use those tools to make some decent shelves and tables

>>1258373
Its not easy anon.

Lowes has a beercan metal cuckshed with no floor for $300.

Can get a store card (tho really u should just get a credit card.)

I have one because i was dumb and it dings my credit to cancel. Its cool tgo. We get a new aollience about the time another one shits out so....

I think my limit is like $3,000. Now?

They deliver rent to own cucksheds.

Or if by the coast unironicaly get a shipping container and bed liner the roof.

I know those feels

>>1258470
Same here brotha.

PROTIP: old junk ass refrigerators. Screw shelves in them. Bonus points for metal shelves. Seels to keep some moisture and bugs out. Pretty sturdy. I am building shelvs atm. Got three refrigerators. Blocked them up to be level with the tallest one. Throw 2x4 accross them and there u go. Its a little sketchy but i might toss a cinderblock on too if the fridge and 2x4 on those for added shelf

>>1258509
>nicely finished
it looks like the back room of a single-wide.
what kind of a mudhut do you live in?

I love this setup. Having the TV there to watch youtube vids instead of on my phone screen was well worth the lost real estate on the pegboard.

Check out any local makerspaces or hackerspaces.

The name is cringe worthy but you can gat access to a lot of resources for a modest membership fee.

Should save some time and space, assuming there are any in your area

>>1258645
Ain't you devolved while having a tv while you're working? I understand having some music playing in background but sound and image is too distracting

>>1258729
Depends on what you're doing. If it gets distracting I just fucking turn it off. But if I need to look up how to do something on youtube or elsewhere, its a hell of a lot easier to watch it on a normal sized screen.

>>1258569
>it looks like the back room of a single-wide.
>what kind of a mudhut do you live in?
Not one with a fucking FINISHED BASEMENT that's for sure.

>>1258540
Thats what I did. Went to home depot, bought one of those shed kits. Poured a slab the correct size (get a buddy to help mix concrete while you do this or just get a ready mix truck to show up. Installed PVC into the floor to run wire through so I could get power to it underground.

I paid like $800 total and I used a Home Depot card to get 12 months interest free. Paid it off in the 12 months for less than $75 a month.

peoples brains work differently anon. my multip meter HAS a place, and its on the floor right next to me. My screwdrivers belong on the tv, and my drills belong on the end table.

>>1258507
>the way those shitty chinesium hex keys are hung

dude they come with that little ring for a reason. get smaller nails to hang them on instead of screws you'll be happier for it instead of knocking that shit off constantly.

>>1258542
I'm pretty impressed with this.

>>1259279
Cool man, I hear you. I think we're on the same page. You've got a system.

anyone have any ideas on storing wrenches that isn't a tool tray or hanging them on the wall i have probably close to 100 of these fucks and the trays they came with are junk

>>1259951
What about rolls?

I have an old Mac 1/4"-7/8" set in a roll and it's pretty handy for storing in a toolbox or easily carrying around.

>>1259984
i thought about picking some up issue being i need to effectively store stubby 1/4 inch all the way to long 1inch wrenches about 50 pieces per roll if you include my gear wrenches to

>>1259987
I don't think you will find a roll that will hold 50 wrenches, but there might be some that will hold one set of 1/4" to 1".

If you really need to carry them all at once, I think you will need to get several rolls and just carry them in an appropriately-sized hand-carry toolbox.

>>1258507

>hanging scissor ups
>baby's first set of wrenches
>autistically hanging up allen wrenches

I bet those wrenches have never been used.

>>1259951

>sort out a good sets worth
>put the on pegboard for easy access
>store the rest in a tool box / chest

I have a decent set hanging on my main work bench, one set in my rolling tool chest and another set that sits in my "something i cant easily bring to the garage needs fixed" toolbox.

Its nice to have quick and easy access to 2 because there will be times when you need one in each hand to really wrench down on something.

The rest i put in a box and shoved somewhere. its pointless to have 5 of the same wrench haning on pegboard.

Well now i feel better about my garage

>>1260053
Garage looks like Tomsula arranged it

>>1260035
Yes it's true, because I got my first salary this month and bought some new wrenches. The old one where worst.

>>1258367

holy hell.. what am I looking at here? I woulda just bought a section of pegboard and a basic peg kit for this task instead of screwing all those screws to a piece of plywood.. or is that MDF. theres nothing stoppign that shit from falling off at the slightest bump or vibration. obviously babbys first toolkit

1969 Yamaha R3
350cc 2 stroke

The floats in the carbs aren't cutting the fuel when they fill so they overflow.
That is the current problem I am chasing on it, there are sure to be more since it hasn't been ridden in roughly 30 years.
It used to be my grandfather's bike that I inherited recently from my mom.

>>1261898
dont kill yourself on it.

>>1261923
There is a good chance that I might.
Seeing as how it has drum brakes front and rear, the throttle return is almost non-existent and the power band on it comes on hard.
I am hoping my 20 years of riding experience and my turning into an old man will keep me out of trouble.

>>1261936
it wont.

those bikes dont care. they're monsters even in top safe condition. let alone with any handicaps to function.

fix it b4 it fucks you.

>>1261941
That is the plan, notice how it doesn't even have tags yet.
Having trouble finding throttle cables but did find that I could possibly put a front disc on it from a newer model which means I can also ditch the wire wheels and be able to put some good radials on it.
Believe me, it will have been gone through from end to end before I take it out on the road.

>and I'll probably still die on it

>>1261946
just drive slow and watch out for the neighbor's dogs, potholes, and gravel roads

>>1261562
Both but mostly organizing help, I'm at the point I might hire people, I'm cleaning everything as I find spots for it

people like you piss me off.
I wish I had that much space let alone that many tools.
take care of your shit and be glad you have it instead of just piling it up.

>>1262358
You can help yourself. Don't be a faggot.

>>1263429
This.

Love how people think its "hard" to clean up an area. People are just lazy and act helpless.

Sad enough when people do this with a business. I have an old friend that runs a computer shop that is a mess. 90% of this shit isn't organize. Computers that need to be worked on just sit on the floor. A big plastic jar full of different type of screws including screws for drywall and screws to be used with tin roofing. He uses those shitty plastic tables that are bowing. He also lets his family use his shop as a family hang out/work area/storage.

I helped him out once to organize his crap and got him containers to organize screws and other tid bits. A few weeks later, it was all trashed.

I really love these magnets

>>1263676
and my power tools

>>1263676
Nerver enough space for everything. My small workplace for occasional electronics repairs

>>1263676
Storage wall, heating and sound system

>>1263676
with these magnets you can even put a lot of things on the ceiling.
Most of this stuff I inherited from my father, who had a big cellar with about four times more space. It took me some months to sort it out, clean the rest and put it in this one room. Every not directly visible cavitiy there (i.e. under the workbench) is also filled with stuff.

>>1258373
Anon, think about this:

1. Miter saw, $300
2. Planer, $400
3. Jointer, $200 for cast iron used
4. Miscellaneous tools, $400
5. DIY kiln, $not very much

After that, you can buy crap lumber and turn it into fancy and durable lumber. Then the sky's the limit. You can think about what comes nextafter you've turned every square foot of your rental space/apartment/condo/whatever into countertop with wire management and cabinetry.

>>1263676
plus an additional storage for wood-screws and nails outside.
And there is one wall for stuff for painting. After completing my workshop in the cellar, there were still enough tools to make two more workshops: a little one (stuffed in one of these big red steel boxes on wheels) for repairing and maintenance of my mountainbikes and one similar to the magnet wall in the garage for car repairs. But I have no pictures of these at hand now.

>>1258367

I like the broom doing absolutely nothing.

>>1261936
I have a 79 cb400t. Similar issue with the carb, but I think I lost a locking pin from choke. I have to reach under the seat. Manually choke the thing. And slowly release as it gets going. But if I really get going on it. It wants to bounce around and choke itself while giving throttle. Also. I rebuilt my drum brakes 2 times. They are in excellent working order but they Squeak like they are fucked.

>>1258367

PLEASE ORGANISE YOUR STUFF. PLEASE. GET A LABELMAKER. PLEASE.

>>1258645
Do you even do anything? Countertop is fuckin spotless and theres no shaving or sawdust anywhere.

>>1264141

The man has a trash can BUILT in to his work station, I think its fair to assume he cleans up as he goes along and puts down some kind of mat if hes working with anything messy. I worked in a furniture factory and our tables were spotless do to us covering the tops with cardboard and replacing the cardboard once a week or so.

>>1258645
I like you. I like guns and skateboarding.

>>1263928
how do you get anything done here? put up a shelf on the right side
>>1263930
clean enough. get some drawers or shelves under the table maybe?
>>1263931
printers and shelf under the table. infinite more space

I've got an amazing brother in law, serious progress

>>1264216
What are those speakers with the wood cabinets on the shelf?

I'm pretty sure I asked you this before, but I don't remember what they were.

>>1264266
is termite. zero shelves, racks, or cabinets made to store shit

I still need to get some actual work tables built. I've spent more time collecting tools than woodworking at this point. About to throw the roommate's fucking treadmill away because I'm sick of it taking up floor space when I need to store lawncare shit in this garage as well as work on cars.

Hell yes, my grandfather and father owned one while I was tearing up trails on my dad's old 1979 TY250 2-stroke in grade school.
2-strokes really need to make a comeback, I'll never forget that sound.

>>1261395
>I woulda just bought a section of pegboard and a basic peg kit for this task instead of screwing all those screws to a piece of plywood.

Screws in plywood/OSB is a popular way to do it.

I recently tore down my pegboard while building some tool cubbies because, holy shit, I fucking hate pegboard now. Every motherfucking time I go to grab something off it, at BEST I need two hands; one to get what I'm after, and one to keep the damn hook from falling out of the board. Knocking shit/hooks off the board got really old, and, after like two years of doing it, I regret deeply not switching to screws/plywood a long time ago.


It's just so much better. The idea of pegboard is that it's easy to rearrange things, but, honestly, I think I moved stuff around all of once. Which kind of makes sense...unless you organized so badly that it's slowing you down, there's not really any point in rearranging anything since you already know where your stuff is. Even if you do need to, an impact driver makes quick work of moving screws around.

>>1258645

You can. What you pay for an apartment in a shitty city gets you a ton of quality house out in the country.
In other news, just moved from a (not really shitty) city to a house I bought out in the forest.

>>1267343
No such thing. And finally a shop with enough lighting. 10/10, no reason to try too hard, already living the dream.
