When using epoxy as a filler layer, I would recommend going with a micro-balloon filler to make sanding easier. When I built my boat, I got a blended filler specifically meant for easy sanding and to be thixotropic. I would recommend going that route instead of just using fused silica. Fused silica (as linked in step 11) is great for making more of a peanut-butter consistency in epoxy, but it also makes it really hard. There's a good reason people use it to build up knife edges in underwater foils.

The problem with aluminum cans is that they have a lot of dross. They also shrink a lot when casting. You should instead find some cast aluminum gardening tools, second hand, and melt those. They'll cast better and you'll get more usable aluminum out of them.

- Jobar007 commented on bricobart's instructable Artificial Barn Swallow Nests5 weeks agoView Instructable »
Well done my friend. Easy to follow and very approachable.I'm not sure about European (or African for that matter) swallows, but a lot of our swallows don't need that much to get started on their nests. They will use something that only pokes out a couple of millimeters from a wall to start a nest in. A friend of mine has a family ranch that gets swallows that make nests on the ~3 mm lip of a board that's right under his eves. So my point is that you probably could get by with a 6 mm wide strip of wood at the base of the cutting boards and call it good.

- Jobar007 commented on DanBanCreations's instructable Kevlar Armor Plating 2 months agoView Instructable »
Interesting idea, but these will be far from any protection from firearms. Even the smallest calibers with the lowest amount of powder will easily penetrate this. Just google, "are kevlar canoes bullet proof?" to get an answer that isn't me. Kevlar as body armor works because the kevlar fabric moves. Making it rigid prevents that movement and renders it useless in that regard. If you really wanted to use this for anything other than road rash protection, you need to overlap your plates and give them a curved surface. Look at ancient armor with individual plates (Wisby coat of plates is an excellent example). They always overlap. They do this to spread force over a larger surface area and to prevent things from sliding between the plates. Another thing to note is that the plate...

You said, "I guess I never quite understood the original design of the standard teardrop having the blunt flat side forward and the slope design in the back. I planned on doing several thousand miles of highway driving and wanted it to be more aerodynamic and with less wind drag."This tells me that you didn't actually read up on aerodynamics. One of the most aerodynamic shapes is the raindrop. The rounded front with a tapered rear is very aerodynamic. With a blunt rear, you are pulling a vacuum behind your trailer and increasing the weight you are pulling by a significant amount.With that being said, this looks like it is really well built. I thought that it was a customized commercial trailer from the thumbnail. Well done!

I used to play a lot of Warhammer 40k, competitively. In all of the tournaments, I can't remember ever hearing someone complain about a roll and not get laughed out of the building. There were some guys that rolled 40 dice at a time, so it's not like they were little rolls. I also used to play a lot of pen and paper RPGs. I can't remember anyone saying, "That roll didn't count" aside from the not on the table rolls. Everyone I played with understood the dice went how they went. Maybe we always had a DM that was in it for the game, not to "win" against the players.Maybe it's personality differences in where we look for advantages. For me at least, if I'm going to win, it'll be because I was the better player, not because I complained the loudest.

Your aluminum roller nut will wear out with a steel rebar tickler. To ensure longevity, you should drill and tap a hole where the tickler meets the nut, within the nut. Inset a screw and grind it flat with the contacting face of the nut. That way you have steel on steel to help with wearing. Traditionally, they used an iron rod or plate in that contact point if the nut was made of horn, bone, or bronze and they used an iron tickler.

When laying out the lines of a traditional wooden boat, you typically do what is called lofting: you draw stations and points along a long, typically white, sheet(s) of plywood so you can get dimensions for the frames and other boat parts. You'll lay down nails with heads along the line and then press a sheet of plywood against those nail heads to transfer the lines that you've drawn to the plywood. That way you have everything still intact on your lofted lines and can cut out frame molds.
- Jobar007 commented on Kims3DIY's instructable Mini Powerbank 8000 MAh10 months agoView Instructable »
Have you tested the amp hours of the batteries? A lot of the ones on Bang Good and other cheap import sites are usually well below their listed capacity. If memory serves, with current lithium battery technology, 18650 batteries can only have 3500 mAH capacity. Anything over that are greatly exaggerating the truth. With the two cheap parallel cells, my guess is that you are going to be closer to 3000 mAH, which is more than enough for a cell phone charger.It is really good that you use hot glue to cement everything in place. With the powerbank being tossed into backpacks, onto desks, etc., you need to keep components in place to prevent leads and wires from breaking. Well done.

Plywood is really hard on plane irons. I've got similar results with a set of metal files (with light pressure) instead on plywood with really thin laminations. Files are also a lot cheaper than planes, so it is easier for the beginner to get into the hobby too.Good ideas and great explanations. It is good to drill pilot holes. You can also "center punch" the pilots to make them accurate too. A sharpened nail (with the files mentioned above) makes a good awl for marking drilling holes.

Is the tension in the bolts enough to prevent you from accidentally pulling the angle away from where you want? It feels to me (who's never made one, so I can't really comment) that as you used the saw, it would slowly move the angle if you pushed the saw imperceptibly to the side.

The aluminum will be fine as long as it has access to air. The passivating layer of aluminum oxide will protect the aluminum inside. It is when you coat aluminum in something that doesn't allow air to penetrate down to the surface that you get corrosion in Aluminum. Crevice corrosion is real when it comes to Aluminum.

There won't be any spores at this point to cause an allergic reaction. If you've done it right and sterilized your medium before inoculating, and you dry your medium thoroughly, you shouldn't have any mold. Mushrooms are pretty aggressive (especially Oyster Mushrooms, which I'm assuming that they are using for the mother culture because they can take a wide array of substrates) and will literally devour mold while growing. I have serious mold allergies and I wouldn't hesitate to do this.

This is a great idea. Something I thought of while reading this would be to have a servo with a smaller arc (less power needed). It holds only one feeding. It rotates out of a hopper and dispenses a single dose of food. It then rotates back and fills. The mechanism of filling the food cup is similar to how shotgun reloading charges are dispensed (look at the Lee Precision line of shotshell reloaders to see what I mean). This would give you much greater capacity (print the hopper as big as you like) and you wouldn't lose feeding sessions at power outages.

Lucky Bamboo is a semi-popular plant for aquariums because it helps to remove fish waste from the system.

My tap water is almost distilled due to the source (river water that is fed by snowmelt in the summer and rain the rest of the year). It lives in a quart mason jar with river rock for support.

Neither Castor Oil, nor Avocado Oil polymerize. This will stay in a liquid state it's entire life. Both oils also go rancid, so if you are using this in food contact (or in a toddler's house), it can make people sick. The only thing inhibiting this would be the fragrance oil. They bear their own risks of toxicity though. A non-toxic route that would work just as well would be to just to 100%, food grade mineral oil. It's non-toxic, rated for food contact, and safe to use in a house with children.I applaud your willingness to explore new finishes. That willingness is what generates new ideas. I would recommend in the future checking to see what oils polymerize and what go rancid though.
