just looking at this makes my hands hurt

>>1588927
Hey, whachya'duin in my shithole? Get out of my shed

Bottom drawer is best drawer.

>>1589142
I got a box like that. I need to throw it out but some of the stuff looks too fun if I ever figure out how to use it.

>>1588927
I like this one best, can relate.

>>1588927

Mine is like these but add more tubes, resistors, capacitors........

Get on my level. I've got an entire room full of this shit. Because of that it's inhabitant.

i thought i'm the only faggot doing this...

I recently learned that sorting insurmountable bins of fasteners generally goes much easier/faster than expected.

One big step is to sort by "sharp" and "not sharp" (nails/tacks/screws; nuts/bolts/etc.) so that you can dig through the not-sharp bin without getting stabbed.

since I am extremely organized
please accept my eye roll as you dig endlessly for the screw you need

>>1591624
I am pretty organized, but I also have a few boxes like this.
The reality is, I almost NEVER find a reasonable use for anything in these trash bins and should throw them away. But I feel like the second I throw them away ill need something.

I really dont like using salvage anything in my projects if I dont have to though.

>>1591528
Those $5 HF assortments are pretty good for the random shit around the house.

>>1591520
>3d printed cringe
Sounds like someone isn't smart enough to figure out cura.

oh man i forgot i took a picture of my fittings/shit to be melted drawer

i have a pretty serious obsession with fittings

>>1591789
Melt them all down then metalcast one giant fitting out of them.

>>1591720
literal garbage

>>1592128
Of course I’m not about to use them on my engine block. But it’s better to have them and not get jammed up in the middle of a project.

>>1592787
They are fitting for your type of projects. You know, the ones using reclaimed particle board and drywall screws

>>1592796
Exactly. I’m not doing rocket surgery over here.

>>1591720
>he doesn't just buy 50lb bulk screws and nuts from china
if you're going to go cheap, then go cheap

>>1588927
why does this picture fill me with a warm fuzzy feeling and a sense of belonging, like i've come home...

>>1594219
Because your home is literal dump?

>>1592124

lmao a to scale 1/8 npt m to f 90

>>1591358
That's so sad. Every one of those screws turned on a lathe just to be thrown into some lazy assholes junk drawer

>>1594582
>Every one of those screws turned on a lathe

that really grinds my gears. I see guys at work dropping deck screws and not even bothering to pick them up, even after I point out the fact that each one took maybe half an hour for some lathe operator to make.

>>1594606
Have you even ever tried threading on a manual lathe? If you take your eyes off that chasing dial for even a second you could misthread an ENTIRE screw.

>>1594612
It takes me about 15 min setup then maybe 2 minutes to thread a screw on this setup

>>1594612
oh heavens no, an whole screw!

>>1594612
Single point threading isnt all that hard anon.

>>1594867
But considering how long it takes to make just one screw ppl shouldn't be throwing bolts and screws away

Yáll need to look up screw machines. Lathes haven't been the primary source of screws for nearly a century.

>>1594955
more than a century*. Late 1800's is when automatic screw machines took over.

>>1594630
why do you have the compound slide set at an angle? Does it give a more aggressive screw thread?

>>1594975
I wasn't making a screw I was tapering the ID of somethimg. I don't remember I was really drunk.

>>1591789

>>1594222
you be the judge.

my /diy/toy/g/v/ mess

>>1594582
are u retarded or what, do u even know how screws are made?

>>1595949
>>1595950
Your home is indeed a dump

I am mess.

>>1597771

at least theres no food laying around

that i can see

>>1597670
Everybody knows how they’re made. Just like this video.

Those Chinese kids sure are fast on a lathe if Home Depot will sell me a 5lb box for $29.

>>1591787
No, he's right, 3d printing is a garbage meme

>>1595950
In the thumbnail it looks like a nigger in a hallway.

next video when? also, great job on the new years heating rig

>this thread

>>1594917
screws aren't single point threaded but rolled. Takes maybe 0.2 sec for a small screw.

>>1595950
there is no hallway, where i this mystery nig you speak of?

>>1599735
I'm sorry
