Myself get out of bed to another miserable day of my life.

Soon I'll have to mow the lawn with a reel mower (have to because of allergies and if I use a gas powered one it throws so much shit into the air I'm sneezing every few steps) in 90 Fahrenheit so I'll probably do it over the course of a few days. I did some yesterday or the day before. I will then have to go over the parts that the mower won't get (weeds) with clippers.

Joyous.

I stained the second set of shutters going into my kitchen. Going for something different, so no blinds or curtains. Picket style wood shutters made mostly from old wood I had sitting in the garage. I did have to buy some more wood to finish the second set, so I picked the worst boards for the look. You're welcome to whoever wanted the prettier boards for their project, I thinned the uglies for you.

Which is helpful to those who want the reclaimed wood look, but can't find reclaimed wood cheap, buy ugly boards. Rough them up more, or leave them outside in the rain a little. One board I picked up was already grey from rain. I got four pickets out of it.

Unless you're one of those retards who don't know how to pull out a nail without a head, decide to smack it into the wood and hand it over to someone to run through the tablesaw. and end up destroying a $80 rip blade.

I have sewn yet another drawstring bag.

I find hand-sewing therapeutic, even if my skills are pretty basic. I cut up a lot of old clothes to have many different and colourful materials and fabrics but I'm honestly at a loss as to what to make. I just default to drawstring bags because I'd want to sew something in peace but not have any special ideas. I wish I could fucking measure and cut properly though, maybe I should get a ruler with a built in spirit-gauge so I can cut perfect straight lines.

If the nail head is up a bit, it isn't a problem. The nails are usually set deep from the nail gun used by the factory. So stick pry bar under the board and pry up, then smack board back down and the head is up. However, many times, the board just breaks and the nails stays put. By the end, I don't have any pieces worth using, so screw it.

>>813349
After the price of sawsall blades and time, I'm ahead by just buying wood. If I want ugly boards, they're real easy to find.

I'd love to, but I also have no artistic merit when it comes to "painting" or the like. Wouldn't that require knowledge of how to actually mentally draw on the yarn?

Also what do they call that thing they use to practice sewing "pictures"? The ones they show in the first ever episode of Game of Thrones, pic related.

Seems like a good base to practice such "mental drawing" things.

Hey, you need someone to help with interior design ideas? Paint patterns and stuff?

I love thinking up themes for bunkers and industrial shit like this. I've been told I'm pretty balanced between following codes and logic and making something cozy.

Well, considering you are in a place with no windows, you should really stick to very light colours to reflect as much light as possible. Add accents in bolder colours in certain areas, trim / stripes, or even some small walls. Make sure you have many light sources to avoid shadows, not just one central fixture in the ceiling.

I assume that you're going for a more modern look without a lot of trim?

I made this table and chair.

The chair I made using a waterjet, and some scrap plywood I found in a dumpster. I think I would have been better off buying some nicer and thicker plywood.

> 3/4ths inch baltic birch master race

The table I made in a parking lot out of the back of my pick up truck with just a circular saw, a measuring tape, and power drill. I made it from a single sheet of 3/4ths red birch. Probably could have come out better if I didnt rush the project.

(on secondary comp - no pics)
Put the final soil in the 4' raised garden bed I made for the wifey. Catalina stones from Menard's, rocky soil for 2', mulch for 1', potting for top 1'. Wall is lined with fabric and backfilled with 3'' of crushed marble (it was on sale, so why not? Plus when the stones get loose (and they always do) they'll look nicer).

Also did interior coats of a bathouse (single) I'm making as a housewarming gift for some friends.

But much more awesomely, as I'm just starting my first shop, I'm squatting craigslist looking for great deals. Today, from a nice, elderly gentleman moving to a condo with his wife, I got a Makita 10" sliding compound miter saw with homemade stand (insane stand, really - dust hood, feed sled, mobile).

I could tell the price tag was only a formality - he had $ and wanted his tools to go to someone who would get some use out of them. $75 for... idk... combo that would be $800 or so new?

Seriously - this guy is my effing hero. I'm not broke, but while keeping my spending in check, I expected to end up with a non-sliding Craftsman or Chicago or something. (People around here are selling miters of any good brands for 60% or more of new price.)

Wrote a novel. Sry. Not a lot of places to share that where folks would be as stoked.

I've been promising my Mom I'd make her some frames for the nephews and nieces for awhile. There are six of them and it matched the colours of the room so I made them in ash, oak and walnut and then staggered them. I had a bit left over so I made a butcher block, which I wanted to do for a while. Then what was left from that, I decided to turn into a tea light or whatever it's called. Sister's birthday came up so that worked out nicely. Did a bit of shaping, drill some holes and done.
Loved that I got some good mileage from 50 snots worth of hardwood.

most of the time its just crap i have laying around. old speakers often look good enough. these builds arent about audio quality. just the looks.
i bought the case at a thrift store for 4 euro's
the speakers where 5 euro's
the amp was a class t amp from dx com and was about 10 euro's
screws where the original from the speakers.
and a ring transformer and voltage stabeliser i had laying around.

total hours spend = 1
just used a knife. a drill and a saw and a screwdriver.

so i say about 150 profit

The government sold it to him anyway.
They probably have good reason to think they won't need it... Or maybe they have a dark habbening plan to make random schmoes take care of their facilities and just take over them later?

You can't stop the habbening, the closest you can come is what bunker bro is doing anyway. He can close and lock the door and keep them out for awhile. Maybe long enough for the nuke to hit and blow them away.

Thanks, glad you like it. Honestly though, I can't recommend any books. Everything I Know about constructing stuff comes from first hand experience. Watching my father most of my life and later on building cabinets in a small factory. The only books I have are from the Handyman Club of America so you could look into them, they have a website, or watch some old episodes of new yankee workshop. There is probably a bunch of episodes online available.
Good luck with whatever you decide to create.

No, the military is such a small department these days that they have enough bunkers as it is. About 200 is listed to be sold in total, but most are just small fallout shelters. But there actually is z non-seizure clause in the contract, but who knows what would get enforced in war times ;)

From what we understand (the motive is still a bit unclear), Anon bought a decommissioned military bunker in Norway from the government for the price of a house in the city.

He was interviewed and investigated as to verify that it's not for nefarious purposes. He also apparently contractually provides phone or internet service to nearby houses because the wires go through his bunker or some such thing.

>>823997 con't. The bunker is extensive, and he was not able to reveal the full layout. If I'm correct, there is a silo in the complex, but I think it's for a retractable antenna rather than missiles. The original purpose, again if I'm not mistaken, was to house top-level government officials and VIP/intelligence during disaster, and to serve as a media base to broadcast information in the event of such a disaster.

Anyone feel free to verify/debunk/correct me.

If possible, get some resin from pine or something, and get it on the handle, let dry and harden for week or two, then brush with a steel wire wheel that is attached on machine (smirgeli, grinder, drill, anything that spins) and "smear and brush it over the handle". gives a nice finish to the surface, and if done properly, is not sticky at all.

Of course, this works best on hard wood types, but if you want to experiment on something else, then use brass wire wheel.

Made one crappy wooden organ pipe.
At least it sounds like an organ and looks a bit cheap.

It was an experiment, now I realized how shit I actually am at woodworking.
Wasted way too much wood and using only hand tools, most of my cuts were awkward and it's a miracle that the thing even makes a sound.

It was fun.

I had a sheet of 6mm thick oak board, cut it into pieces and glue together.
I used pic related as somewhat of a guide.

The hardest thing for me was getting everything straight and fitting and making sure it was airtight, a tiny hole in the wrong place really kills the sound.

Made a rocket stove for shits and giggles. I was surprised how well it really worked; just used some old grass to start a fire going, and jammed some twigs and sticks in.

Used a cotton ball slathered with Vaseline to keep the flame going awhile; smelled like a burning tire but the fire was small, hot, easy to feed.

I only used cinder blocks; thinking of building it properly out of firebricks.

> laptop
pretty much.

I needed something really reliable with a ton of storage, 4 ethernet ports, 2 wifi chipsets, GPIO, etc. I already had all the parts and i didn't want an ass load of dongles sticking out my regular laptop. Also i like the challenge.

Should've vocarood it right away.
But you're right, it sounds quite like a recorder.

I'm going to a make a few more in different sizes, I'm planning to make a small organ but I'm still experimenting and making various parts, it is quite a challenge so I don't want to dive in right away.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jun 12 04:17:33 2015 No.825411 >>825409 No, for sure, take your time. Seems like a wonderful project, a wooden mini organ. Post results to this thread or its successors. Maybe make a YouTube video demonstrating it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jun 12 04:34:54 2015 No.825414 >>825404 Yup with some thin acrylic. Still have to 3D print some supports, measure everything and make a CAD model to see if it looks good before cutting.

That's very true, I already found many ways to work more efficiently from just this small project.

>>825411
It's probably going to take a while before I come anywhere close but since /diy/ is slow this might be the only place where I'll share progress if it's worthwhile

Anyway, thanks but you guys are giving me way too much praise for such a simple thing.

So I worked all evening and made another one, slightly bigger and construction going slightly more efficient.
Still need to find the "sweet spot" for the tongue but otherwise it's going just fine.

Still have trouble working neat and precise, making long straight cuts with a scroll saw is really not that great especially when you with the grain of the wood.

I'm considering getting a small table saw, it would help me tremendously but if only I wasn't so poor.

Also, excuse the potato quality, also something that I can't fix at the moment.

1. What is it standing on? The foundation... Looks like loose brick or stones.

2. I built one a little while back as well. Are you going to be building supporting walls along the middle of the cabin or something? It could collapse, be safe. Add extra material, not less. My friend had one fall on him when he was putting it up.
