/diy/ - Do It Yourself

bump for general info

i quit my job today and plan on doing labor type stuff for a little bit. theres a couple construction companies ill be hitting up next week, anything i should tell the foreman in particular to make myself look better? my stepdad was a real handyman and i pretty much helped him do everything growing up, putting up our fence, laying concrete, that kinda stuff.

does anybody have any of president's faces? like from currency and stuff?

you're getting DJing and Producing confused OP.

for djing use virtual dj to get you started. no need for hardware. (mixer, turntable, etc)

for production, i use logic pro and i like it but fruity loops is free and people tend to make some bad ass shit with it.
producing is a lot more convenient with a midi keyboard although it is not completely necessary.

and yeah musical theory is just good to know overall but if you spend enough time and dedication to music youll start to understand things, at least in a way that makes sense to you.

this one time i was at this party and people were playing pong with water in the cups and then just drinking their own cup of beer and this was the first time i had ever seen that so i started (drunkenly) flipping out like 'wtf who the hell wants to drink water am i in middle school or some gay shit?' just making a big scene. and then one of my friends pulled me to the side and told me they had to because one of the girls there was sick.

i then proceeded to mock the rest of the party, got drunk, and had a good time myself.

[spoiler]oop found some cheap ones, nevermind.

haven't bought them yet i wanted to come here first and see what i was up for first.</spoiler>

[spoiler]wow thanks for all the info guys, really helpful stuff.


now, as far as batteries go, all the smaller ones i find are like $3 each. is this typical or is there somewhere that offers 2.5/3v in a cheap bulk pack? this is just going to be for one nite so i don't want to spend a bunch on it.</spoiler>

[spoiler]from what i've read about this particular pack is that there is no specs on the pack but one review said 330 ohm at 5v.

like i said, i've never really messed with electronic stuff before so i don't know anything as far as resistors go.
and i was basically just planning to run a battery to each individual one so there could be one per balloon.</spoiler>

unscrew your faucet head, take the little round mesh part out of it.

find a ratchet that is big enough to place the mesh part in.

cut a 2 liter bottle in half, place ratchet bowl where the cap goes.

fill tub/sink/container larger than the bottle with water.

put 2 liter ratchet head bong contraption in the water

comgrombolations, gravity bong

[spoiler]so i'm having a little party/shindig thing at my house at the end of the month and for part of the decorations i was thinking of getting balloons and putting glowsticks in them and apparently glowsticks are around $1 a piece

BUT radioshack has this 20 pack of assorted LEDs for $3 so i think i'm just going to put those in these balloons.
i've never really done anything with LEDs before so, how much power would each one need?</spoiler>

...why did you put it right in front of your window?

>making anything but mint ice

ah.
thought it was from the north hollywood shoot out guys.

is that the armor those 2 guys used when they robbed that bank?

if so, that's bad ass.

stamp and gold leaf would be my guess.

idk if anyone has said that yet, haven't read the thread.

send one to me so i can make a keychain out of it.

also, boil it then let it sit in some diluted bleach for a little bit.

build her a cake or something

same premise i'd assume. but i know shit all about welding/blacksmithing.

also, weapons are against the rules so, yeah.
