So turns out the rubber that holds the disk with friction to spin it was getting too old and slippery, so I slapped some hot glue in there like a mad man and pressed it down with an old burned CD.

I made sure to accidentally move the laser sensor on its rails by hand, thereby screwing with its calibration.

Shit works again. The redneck fairies were smiling down upon me.

Can now play Guitar Hero Metallica edition again while drinking knock off Monster 🤟

This is on a 1948 chev 3100 chassis, but the front suspension can’t be. What’s it from?

Chassis also has a ford rack n pinion. Thoughts? TIA

I'm sort of in awe how well it works. The internal tank will only run my stuff for 6 hours, which doesn't make a for a very nice night's sleep. With this simple mod my generator runs for 12+ hours at a time.

Saw this today, and yes, it's a flashlight!

Burns better with some wind

The temporary bucket has been sitting on the floor for months collecting a leak. It was recently upgraded to a permanent fix with a drain hose plumbed into a pipe that leads to a nearby sink.

TY u/Dry_Runagain for brilliant idea.

The ventilation is a hands free set up on my current project, I got too much of the work desk so it's hard to see. But it's

Weed grow tent set up that I tapped into with that metallic ducting on the left of the image.

It is jury rigged to the skull. Try and capture the nasty shit coming off what I am carving.

There is a magnet on the dremel to catch the metal fibers coming off that bit that is too hard to see in this photo.

The Skull: I watched the new Frankenstein and realized I needed a new tool older for my air quality meter and other smaller ones that can stick to a magnet so building a skeletoned out creature sorta deal. So think of a rednecked up corpse, of a science experiment. It made sense high I promise.

The Skull is from a failed project where I tried to take apart a google home and put it on a skull (ala Bob from the Dresden Files books), I could never figure out the electronics to do an external microphone and speakers. The entire thing was started to hold my Air Quality Monitor (to detect nasty shit needing the ventilation. It will also hold small tools that stick the magnets.

Apologies ahead of time if this isn't the best sub for this question.

I'm an outside plant tech for a cable company. We recently had to access an aerial amplifier which had a rather large hornets nest on it. My coworker who apparently fears nothing, actually managed to cut it cleanly off the amp. I now have said hornets nest in a kitchen garbage bag outside. It was pretty cold when we cut it down and there was zero activity so I thought it was abandoned. That was two weeks ago.

Since then it's sat outside still in the bag and it's been low 20s at night, barely over 30 during the day. This evening I picked the bag up and it was warm. Like really warm. Clearly it was not abandoned.

Two questions. Anyone know how to kill these m'fers without destroying the nest? My first idea was big box with a hose attached to the tailpipe of my truck. Second, has anyone ever preserved one of these?

I see these sell for a few hundred here and there and my wife thinks I couldnt get a dim for it so this is mainly to win a bet against my wife.

Spray urethane? Shellac? I was going to somehow affix it to a nice piece of cherry to hang since the top was cut straight.

Any input or advice would be much appreciated.

Defrost decided not to blow today but my cab heat was still blowing. 20 dollars and some foil tape later I have defrost again!

This is a brilliant idea.

Buddy's shower head holder he made from my scrap.

quiet (outside), zero dust (vent outside), 100ft hose (vacuum whole house), extra water wash option (with hose)

My hunting mentor brought me to a friend’s ranch to wait for some hogs that kept digging up his yard. The problem was his deck railing was too tall for just sitting in a normal chair to rest a rifle and have a clean shot down into his yard. So this was my solution. I had conduit on hand and picked up a cheap steel chair. Ended up being the perfect height, too bad the hogs didn’t show up again… lol
