How many of you are into /diy/...

This, getting a welder soon

Just a run of the mill country boy here.

If I don't know how to build it, I have a buddy that does.

Remodeled a few houses.
Built multiple barns.
Built my own exercise equipment.

Oh and I raise my own gains.

As much as I love meat. I feel like the amount of time that would spend frozen before being consumed outweighs the benefits of harvesting it yourself

I think it would be cool to get into but I live in the city and don't have space for anything. Guess I'll try my hand at it if I live long enough to ever have a garage or yard.

What did that boy do to his pants

Giant Asian Cock obviously

I do both and welding is definitely cooler/more fun. I also sew/embroider, mold composites like carbon fiber and have a host of other fabrication/mechanical engineering skills. It gets really fun when you do projects which combine all of your talents.

Only if your a pussy

Side note - You should see some of the cars that I have built for people.

Wood working is great and translate nicely to metal working. I dont think that any is better, just that metal working is more suitable to built things that need to be strong. That said, getting a welder and learning how to weld is something useful for the rest of your life so good idea, i recommend a TIG machine

It was a very hot day

Im white

>Wood working is great and translate nicely to metal working

Ehhh kind of. You can treat it in the same way as far as machining goes but the jury's out for joinery. I suppose there's metal epoxies now but still, I would prefer to weld.

A TIG is a good idea though, even the 330cf in the shops that has Airgas handle for us are pretty affordable; I personally use a 120 for about 50 bucks a refill and 250 for the tank. Most TIG machines are inverter welders but one with pulse or AC functionality is very nice for chrome moly and aluminum.

A plasma cutter is also a nice investment as it's more maneuverable than a bandsaw or cutting disk and more controllable/cheaper than oxyacetylene, though a disk/angle grinder should be used to finish the edge slightly to avoid hydrogen embrittlement and drip.

Would like too tbqh. This is why I have an interest in fabricating. No welder or grinders at the moment but hope to be able to equip myself next summer. Love to be able to make metal shit and have rust repairs to do on my automobile

Get yourself a decent used mig with gas off craigslist. That’s pretty much how I got started. Learn technique with YouTube videos. Once you master laying down solid beads with brown flux spots on top which look wet, you’re golden to add a tig and start working on other metals.

I've bought a drill a month ago, fixed two chairs at home since then, am I a Handy Man now?

Rebuilt a ladder rack to fit outside of the truck topper with a friends mig. Its pretty fun tbqh, also feels cool to have a setup no one else really has because you made it custom.

If that's actually you, you're an idiot. You keep your shit on otherwise you're asking for metal splinters or a broken disk in yourself

does fucking around with arduino count as /diy/

I do manual work occasionally but I stay away from anything involved saws. Saws scare the shit out of me. I have two carpenter cousins, one lost 1 finger, one lost 2.

How? Keep your fingers out of the god damn saw, it isn't hard.

It's as simple as paying attention to what you're doing. Every boomer story I've listened to about losing fingers they all looked away for a split second and their thumb was gone

> Figured out Jow Forumsizens would be the most likely board to make their own shit along with /out/

seems like someone forgot about /diy
a literal board for making shit.

I make most of my own furniture because my taste is much more expensive than my budget. I'm an architect and made some stuff in school and some at home and at my old apartment. I 3D model almost all of my furniture before building.

I don't have many pictures of my stuff, I need to get some.

In my house right now I've made (excluding smaller decorative items):

Dining table
Coffee Table
Very large cabinet
Side Table
Large Shelf unit
Outdoor dining table and benches
Outdoor couch and Coffee Table
Entertainment Cabinet
Floating entertainment cabinet (bedroom)

Restored:
Tanker Desk
Pergola
Shopping cart (WIP, turning into alcohol cart/cooler)

I'm going to be working on a few more outdoor items for next summer. Outdoor furniture is surprisingly very expensive.

Here's a photo of my outdoor couch and coffee table.
And maybe a few more things I've forgotten about.

Everybody knows that, but shit happens. And it just scares me.

Man, I really want a 1JZ for my IS

I fix my own house, repair my own car and do a bit of woodworking. I built a guitar from scratch a few years ago, that was the most rewarding thing I've ever done.

Literally going to school the be a woodshop teacher so I can mog all the manlets

i-is that jz?

madman

>mfw i see those shitty welds on the gym machines

Indeed. Running a fuckin grinder with no shirt/PPE? Obviously this dude has never seen what happens to people when those fuckers break

My fathers policy was "if you cant fix it, you dont deserve it".
He literally fixed and built everything in the house. Its a good policy, and he taught me well enough to continue it in my own house.

That mother fucker ain't even wearing shoes.

Fucking goals right here

pretty sure there is a /diy/ board op

It truly is amazing sometimes how bad they are. It's like someone took their weld test on the fucking squat rack

I do woodworking. I plan to have every piece of furniture in my house be self made. Shits good for big forearms.

My garden game is also pretty legit.

Both are fun and present unique challenges. The most fun part of woodworking though is that you work with subtractive construction and you have to plan many steps ahead of yourself to make anything you can't add material to. Have worked in engineering for the entirety of my adult life and have had need arise to fabricate things from steel. Personally prefer to woodwork on my own time, however that may simply be because it happens at my leisure and not at work. Anyways congrats user enjoy what you do.

Very nice haul, user!

I sew.
Get called a faggot every now and then, but word in my little neck of the woods got around so I guess I'm now a:
>Fashion designer (little local brand, had shows)
>Brassiere (pic related, example of the second largest girl I've done semi-customs for)
>Costume maker
>Hold 'Bitch'n'Stitch' at local troubled children "hospital" and prison (there's it's called Stitch'tha'Snitch)
>Had to show the local doc how to stitch a fucking wound
So yeah, it's okay.
Oh and to keep it Jow Forums related I do custom straps, belts, and sleeves.

Sewing is something I've always meant to learn but just havent gotten around to it

have another fren
May your thirst be quenched
Yeah, it's a pretty handy skill. I can basically self tailor anything, so I basically measure progress by how much work I have to do with my jackets and stuff now lol

looks kinda shabby but that's probably just the grey floor, wall, and cheap looking cushions. With some decking, maybe a paintjob on the wall, and some fancier cushions, that couch wouldn't look out of place in some fancy modern luxury home.

me on the right

I wish woodworking would be so much useful here as it is in the US/Europe. Houses are made from bricks and concrete so i've learned how to set a construction perimeter, check level and build walls/celling gradient with bricks when i was a kid but never learned how to do big shit with wood, only basic handy stuff. Still, it's often more useful than knowing how to work on metal so there's that (plus it's a lot safer and cheaper)

always wanted to learn how to sew and use a sewing machine (im a manlet so i would be able to make pants not baggy/tucked), my mother taught me a thing or too (she used to work on a textile factory) but i was a faggot kid that tought "sewing is for girls" and didn't learnt it properly. Looking foward to it one day tho.

beautiful, you could make some money on that easily user

it's slow af and hard for me to understand english terms and slangs for machines and equipments sometimes
plus people on Jow Forums seems to have a interesting variety of jobs so i tought it would be equally as interesting to see their craftsmanship skills

Look up prices on outdoor cushions, its fucking insane. I need to get some better pillows and it will look a lot nicer, I just have so much shit to buy cause I got my house less than a year ago and it's so much to furnish. It was a really hard project to do in my backyard as well. Really hard to cut the plywood without a guide.

Thanks. I might end up doing furniture design at some point.

Made my own farmer carry handles for my home gym.

Want to do trap DL bar next.
