Where do you find these auctions? I don't have any equipment I need right now, but if those prices are typical it'd be nice to know where to look in the future.

You can install a strainer upstream of the pump and and back flow preventer downstream of the pump so nothing mucks it up

Does anyone have any ideas about making your own lightsaber? I'm not really a tech guy, so I'm open to any ideas.

Hey! I'm looking for some help on how to turn this peice of plastic I found into a toy butterfly knife. This knife won't have a real blade, just something like a pen or cardboard or whatever.

My wife got a fan from a wedding and was cool with me turning it into a fake butterfly knife toy for my 13 year old. (He and I play team fortress together, so we're trying to imitate the "spy class" weapon) anyways, any help on telling me how I can fold the "blade" into the handle would be appreciated.
(Didn't know if this would go into /k/ but since it's not a real weapon, I wasn't sure)

Here I am back ! Thanks for your previous help /diy/ :D and excuse my bad english.

It was the evaporator fan. I tried to plug in a 12 volts fan with the assumption it will instant spark/explode. It was the case but It mean that the power is good. I didn't used my tester I should but my tester was at my office.

But now Im looking at the deffective fan, and I wonder... How it could break ? It's just magnets and a magnetic field. If the power is in, it should do it's just. I don't see any cracks or any damage, it's just not working. I have been far in my little "fridge" adventure. I was about to buy another but, I would love to repair it because well you know the feeling of fixing everything. What could be broken.

Important point I guess, I see a "ground" part on it but there was no wire on it, could find anything broken. What would be the effect if there is no ground to that kind of fan ?

>> No.660331 [View]

damn the scew, I used my utility knife to cut a trap to be able to see the fan. It's stiff and not working, I will wait 5 mins to be sure. I will change it anyway.

>> No.660306 [View]

>>660291
I will do that too

>> No.660305 [View]

wow thanks. I touched the fan with my hand, but I can't go there yet, there is a screw jammed in, I can't unscrew it, not sure why, but I will break it if I try harder. Do you have to tips to unscew it anyway ? I could see the fan with my eye.

I touched the fan, I plugged in, I will wait few mins and I will see if it moved by touched it again (unplugged of course(

and of course I unpluged it 24h still no luck

Hi, my refrigerator dosen't work quite well and im trying to fix it myself.

The freezer is on the bottom and working quite well. The fresh food section isn't. I don't feel any airflow. The compressor is fine, the thermostat "click" on postition 0. The deforst time is working as well (I tried to play with it with my screwdriver and it work).

I figured out that the fridge take the cool air from the freeze. Is there a fan in the freezer ? Anyone know the problem ? I assume there is a fan there so it's my next step but if someone know what the problem please post

Dear DIY,

I am tired of earplugs and would like to modify or make some ear muffs that would reduce the noise from the road next to my bedroom.

I have a pair of pic related at home but I don't mind starting from scratch if necessary

I don't mind having something around my head (I actually already use a sleep mask to block the light)

any suggestions ?

ps: i will move to a quieter place when I can, but I need a temporary fix for now

Germanfag here.
A couple of years ago,before it was destructed, I was used to chill out with my friends on a abadoned hospital's roof. We also explored the whole thing. It was in the middle of the woods together with a few houses . The old fuckers called the police every fucking time and we got never caught, because it was fucking huge. A lot of hobos and stoners were inside this thing, but they were all friendly. We carried torches and knifes with us and sometimes breathing masks because of the abest, which was the reason for closing it. It got destructed last year, very sad for us it was awesome you could see like 30 km from the top floors.
That's it.
Hopefully we'll find another building like this.
