This looks like it would be good for wing shooting: you can pick up your shells and carry them with you instead of leaving them in nature.An idea that came to me while reading this is to instead of sealing the bottom, put a heavy duty zipper in it's place. That way you can empty your dump bag quickly without needing to take it off.Another idea is to use Tyvek as a hinge for your plastic cover so it moves out of the way easily, but is still ridgid.

So what I'm hearing is that you sort of gently scrub the carpet with longer strokes?

I do the same thing for my shower caddy!

Do you pull or push the broom over the carpets?

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.

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.

When I saw the thumbnail from the gallery, I thought, "It's just string tied around the neck of the bottle. Why an 'ible for that?" The solution was much more clever than I had originally thought. 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.

This is brilliant. I could have used this two days ago, but I'll be using it in the future.

Clever idea to use hardware cloth for the trellis.

Silicone and Acrylic will eventually fail over time, just as a warning.Looks great and an excellent use of a laser cutter for a more everyday application.

Thanks!

Awesome build. How heavy did it turn out?

Thanks!

This is an awesome project and a good solution to your problem. Well done!

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.

SQUEAK!

I'm a big fan of pork jowl bacon. If you haven't had that, I would recommend it.

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.

Hello fellow Oregonian! Your trailer looks great. Hopefully you'll get some good use out of it during spring salmon season!

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.

Can I make this with a non-favorite kid too? ;)Great idea. I'm going to have to build this with my kids and their cousins.

The only thing that would make this better is to move the camera and shoot from different angles. That way the perspective would be preserved in the composite picture and really make it look good.

I'm going to parrot what tomatoskins said that ask for that STL as well. This is a great idea that would help people with low grip strength get into (or back into) fishing.

Not that kind of teflon tape, I'm talking about this kind:https://www.amazon.com/CS-Hyde-Conformable-Silicone-Adhesive/dp/B000REJN48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490206883&sr=8-1&keywords=adhesive+backed+teflon+tape

I would recommend gluing the magnets in the hole and then covering with some teflon tape. It'll be a lot slicker and you'll have a better hold on your saw. You could probably just drop down to a single magnet if you did that.

I like my coffee like my women: strong, hot, and bitter. Seems like we at least like our coffee the same.It seems to me like your grounds are a bit too fine for a french press. Do you find a lot of "mud" in the bottom of your cup with that fine of a grind?

Yes please!

No problem. When you get it made, post it up. I would like to print that out for my aquariums.

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.

That's a really cool idea. Nice trigger mechanism. I figured the crossbar was more to prevent a pike from pulling the whole shebang through the hole in the ice than more for stability. If we had more ice fishing where I live, I'd be all over it. I miss it from when I went to college in Iowa.

Use Teflon Tape instead of a wood veneer. It won't look as good, but it will last a long time.

Thanks!

That's for the original thing that they modified. I like their idea and would like to tinker with it. Thanks though.

Can you please update your 'ible with the link to your print or include the STL files?

Lucky Bamboo is a semi-popular plant for aquariums because it helps to remove fish waste from the system. A mistake that I see a lot with newer people using Lucky Bamboo is that they fully submerge it. make sure the leaves are above the water line!Good guide. I have a lucky bamboo that I got 4 years ago and it is thriving. I've never replaced the water and just top up with tap water. 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. It is so happy in that setup that it sent out a shoot and I have a baby now!

It isn't unhealthy. It is actually good for most fish since it uses up nitrogen in the water column that would otherwise harm the fish. It is, however, unsightly.

I had something similar to this for my original Nintendo when I was a kid. It helped to make unplayable games useable again.Just a quick question though, why Isopropyl Alcohol? Why not Methanol or Ethanol? Why not water? Why not other solvents? Just thoughts that I'm having now that I'm thinking about it.

I see that rotation stop breaking. That's a lot of force for a small piece to handle. Why not make it like a more traditional roller nut and let it free spin? Granted it takes more time to reload because you have to position the nut, but your crossbow won't self destruct. Well, at least the stock won't around the nut.Great idea using common materials to make such a neat crossbow.

If you setup some kind of bark shield at the back, you can prevent the torch from directing light at your eyes. This will increase the effectiveness because you have only reflected light hitting your eyes. It's the difference of using a flashlight and an open lantern.Neat idea and a great use of readily available materials.

That finger-lopper looks great!

A good tip is to try to not block your line of sight with your shield. If you cower behind it, you can't see your opponent's next move to strike your leg or smack your sword hand. Your opponent can also smack your arm into your face, just like it appears to happen in the first image.Good luck, young knights. Remember, one of the duties of a knight is to protect others from an unjust king (get your dad often).

Have you tested your waterproof matches? What if they are soaked through the wood?Great uses for a "waste" product!

Great idea, my friend. I'm glad to see that alcohol and you are still coming up with neat ideas!

Absolutely. I'd eat it.

That looks really good! I've been a fan of this movie since I was a kid. It's great to see people celebrating it!

I remember when the Mike and Molly's House duck prosciutto 'ible came out. I drooled over it then. I'm drooling over yours now. I remember mentioning it to my wife last go around and she seemed hesitant to get duck to make this. I'm glad that you said that it tastes a lot like pig based prosciutto so I can point her to this 'ible when trying to convince her that we need to make this. Thanks!

That'd be fun to see. If you get them made up, please post pictures!

Correct. The only reason I called Balsa out is that it is entirely too soft for this purpose. Most people think that hardwoods are always harder than softwoods, but this is not the case (Balsa is a good example and Yew is a good example the other way). I suggested getting a soft softwood for a couple of reasons: 1) they are common in the form of big box dimensional lumber; 2) they are cheap or free due to the first reason. Go talk to a construction worker and I'm sure you can get some soft dimensional 2x4 scrap for free.

Thanks Brother!

Thank you very much for that information. It really helps me to understand the process.

Good to know that commercial vents are made of galvanized metal. My apprehension was the 1250+ degree exhaust air warming the metal and vaporizing the galvanizing on the outside that isn't being vented. If the commercial setups use it (with the accompanying litigation risk), then it is probably good to go for home built. Thanks for the answer!

Using galvanized metal isn't a good idea. Once the Plenum Box heats up, the zinc in the galvanizing will heat up and convert into zinc oxide. If you are breathing the fumes coming off the outside of the box, it is possible you'll get Metal Fume Fever. I'm really curious as to the longevity of this system. A lot of these components weren't designed for the temperature range of kilns and my guess would reduce their life. I could be completely off base though and I wish you the best. You did a good job of finding common materials to suit your purpose.

What are you using for your aquatic species? Do you feel like you have room to expand on your grow beds?I've been interested in aquaponics as I see it as a good way to grow food in a dense environment. My only apprehension to it is that I've heard (never verified) that aquaponically grown produce is high in nitrates.

You really busted your hump making this. Great job! Now, find a cure to the Genophage and raise an army!

How long did you keep your trawl in the water to get it to collect that much gunk?

When I use my immersion chiller, I always put it in during the last 10 minutes of the boil. That ensured that there was no contamination since it was boil sterilized. That being said, it is a pain to clean if you don't do it straight away.I've got a friend who brews a lot of beer (15-20 gallons a month, most gets given away) and he uses a similar technique to yours, as a validation to the technique.Another thing to note, if you don't use an immersion chiller and pass a recipe on to someone (or visa versa), they won't ever be identical in taste since there isn't the slight addition of copper that an immersion chiller provides. Most people wouldn't be able to taste the difference, but I'm sure some beer snobs can.

The paracord would have to be wound really tight or it would become a liability on a handgun grip. ;)I'm sure it would be a good self defence weapon, if you practiced with it religiously. No weapon is good unless you are proficient and practice often. Every weapon has advantages and disadvantages. I was just pointing out what flails were originally designed for and are good at along with their shortcomings. Everything has a trade off and being aware of disadvantages help to mitigate their shortcomings.

Sushi grade octopus is called tako. You missed an opportunity here with tako tacos.

That's an awful small scoop on your trawl. Unless you know that you are running right through what you are trying to scoop, you aren't going to gather much in there. This is a neat concept though that is easily approachable.Just a point of curiosity, what are you seeking to collect with this? Is it just anything that might come up in the net?

The real trick that makes this 'ible good is the initial cuts to remove the flesh while leaving the seeds and stem behind. Thanks!

Thanks!While pinching the barb is good for catch and release (since it makes the release easier) it is also harder to keep the fish on the hook (because the release is easier). Just keep that in mind and keep pressure on the line while you get the fish in as fast as possible and you should be good.

You effectively brazed your ingot to your mold when you poured the molten brass into a steel can. You'd need to use a well rusted steel mold to prevent the brass from adhering to the mold (at least that's the cheapest way to get into brass ingot molds). Congrats on getting brass casting temperatures. Keep an eye on that crucible and retire it as soon as it starts showing signs of wear so you don't have a castrasophy.

You could hang a white pillow case inside the box to get fewer seams and less post processing on your photos. This is a great idea for those of us with basement workshops that have unidirectional lighting.

This is the perfect addition to a raincoat for digging razor clams in the surf! Looks like I need to find some replacement drysuit cuffs.

Thank you for your kind words. I hope that the carriage bolt idea helps others to experiment with new materials without investing a lot of money in tools.

Thanks!

Do you think that smaller holes on the bottom would help? My thought process is that sand and gravel can flow out of the sides, but more dense metals would be retained in the bottom. Perhaps this can help with sinkers going out the holes in the bottom?

In the USA, we call those Agave plants. This might help with people over here to source materials for this build.Neat idea. I bet you can translate this over to hollow stemmed plants like Elderberry.

Gas vapors in an enclosed environment can have explosive results. You didn't mention venting the engine compartment before starting the engine. If you had a gas leak or spilled some fuel while refueling could prove disastrous. Since you didn't modify the engine, that also means that you don't have flame arrestors. This is a very dangerous craft for more reasons than you stated.You might be having problems with thrust less from the power of your engine but from the prop speed. Water is a lot more viscous than air and requires a much slower rotational speed than a typical gasoline engine produces to produce adequate thrust. Gas engines typically operate at 3-4k RPM. If there is little to no reduction, that is way too fast and the prop will "slip" in the water. My guess is that i...see more »Gas vapors in an enclosed environment can have explosive results.

Concrete is porous and absorbs moisture from the air and from the ground if stored outside on the ground. Water, when heated, likes to expand, sometimes rapidly. To extend the life of this little fire pit, you would probably want to store it in a dry place, off the ground. It would probably be a good idea to leave it out during a sunny day before use as well to help drive off any moisture in the pit.

I for one really appreciate all that you've done here. I'm going to miss the more regular updates, but I've also really been looking forward to that canoe. Good luck on it!

Are those knuckle bones? That's pretty hardcore. I hope you roll those if you are RP'ing a Barbarian or a Necromancer.

Or a treatment to remove the chlorene, yes.

It's beautiful. It reminds me of the children's book, "Guess how much I love you?" Well done.

PTFE (Teflon) coated magnetic stir bars are the bees knees. They have low friction and don't react with that you're mixing. They add no flavors to the yeast culture and do not affect it. Super awesome for this (or any, really) application.

Do you heat your hooks before you bend them? Also, it looks like you bend them out before you bend them in. Is that correct?

Ahh, that makes sense. At 6'-3", it has to be a big tent for me to scrape it. My four person tent doesn't even come close to the ground when I keep my arms at shoulder height.

I'm curious as to how shaking a tent is more destructive than camping in a really windy area. I routinely camp on the Oregon coast and there's a really good reason why we have kite festivals all summer long. Hang gliding is really popular there too because of all of the updrafts that extend your flight significantly. Is 10 seconds of vigorous shaking really going to damage my tent more than 10 consecutive hours of 20 mph winds with gusts to 40, 5 days in a row? I do all of the above with one extra step: when rolling the tent up, I sweep up the bottom to prevent debris from poking holes while in storage.

This is exactly what I did in college for friends. Well done in documenting your process!

The one you made in step 4. Since it is on the inside of the glasses, any impact to the screen will be pushed against the face. The tips of the wires, even ground down and smoothed out, will press into your face uncomfortably. If you line the edge with a padding of some kind, it will reduce the felt impact.

One could say that your assumption hit it on the head...

Maybe a ribbon of padding around the opening will reduce the felt impact against the face shield?

Great build. The simplicity really speaks to me.I like the compactness of the bow. It reminds me a bit of a horse bow that the Mongols used. Since in step 1 I counted 4 skis, why not make an actual crossbow from the other set?

What is the curve of the shaft? Do you have a table of offsets so others can reproduce it?

The observation window should be facing the back of the hive (optimally). Bees sense threats around the entrance.Neat idea and well executed. It really fits in with the asethicic of the hive.

His face has been chosen to represent something other than his original message though. I would conclude that due to that fact, a Guy Fawkes mask no longer represents anti-Church of England/pro-Catholic but now represents anti-oppression. That's the case at least in 'Murica.
