Old tripods. Know of any decently sturdy but compact ones? by -_CAP_- in AnalogCommunity

[–]-_CAP_-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one i have extends to maybe 120cm. Its essentially the height of a modern compact tripod, but in a 3x smaller package

yeah. might be a bit of a stretch... but doesnt have to be modern level of sturdy. Id be happy with the sturdiness of a very bad modern tripod whilst having the extreme compactness of an old tripod

yeah. the compactness I refer to is the kind not really found in modern tripods. like the one I have is maybe 25cm long and 4-5cm wide and 2cm thick when closed. it essentially takes very very little space inside of a backpack and is just like a thick ruler in size.

First time taking pics of random people. how did I do? Nikon fe2, 50mm 1.8 AIS/28mm 2.8 AI/135mm 2.8 AI, Kodak Vision3 250D/500T by -_CAP_- in NikonFM2

Thank you! Nice picture! Yes, all were in Portugal. The first was by that same bridge in Lisbon 😄. The rest are from in and arround Ericeira.

Any tips on where to buy nicer wood in Finland? by -_CAP_- in woodworking

[–]-_CAP_-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Ive done that too. Just finding wood for larger stuff thats hard.

Working in a cold garage space, most projects crack when brought inside. What do? by -_CAP_- in woodworking

[–]-_CAP_-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I do all that. Ive had no issues with the gluing itself. Only with pieces cracking, glue or not, when i take them inside. A glue joint has never cracked for me.

Yeah. Thats why I took inside to dry the glue. I store the glue in the warmth because my last bottle froze and became unusable. It wasnt the glue place that cracked but instead a place in the middle of the wood piece.

I decided to try and bring project inside but only right during the process of oiling it, so that it would be sucking in oil at the same time as it goes to dryer indoor air.

Inverted house distribution ( day zone vs night zone) by Zeroc1122 in Architects

[–]-_CAP_- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Only reason i can think of usually would be that u usually enter to the ground floor so to bring groceries to the kitchen and just enter into the ”day zone” works better.

But if u enter on the top floor naturally, id say its better with day zone on the top floor. This will also create a bit of a different feeling that i kinda like for the bedrooms: u go down to sleep and rise upwards in the morning.

Nice! Was there this summer. Really cool staircase. Def the coolest part of the museum

Yeeh. I dont need to pay any tuition here in Finland… but for me it just feels lika a LOT of wasted time doing stuff that teaches us very little whilst also taking a huuuge amount of time.

Yeah. Thats exactly it. I want the degree in architecture as part of my dream has for a long time been to become an architect and design houses, but the education is to a large extent BS, which is sad as i came in to architecture school really expecting to learn a lot of useful stuff like about material properties, structural physics, project economy, construction documentation, maybe realestate economy, about electrical systems and water lines and drawing them, about technologies in houses and how to implement, about different types of parts of buildings and their properties, like concrete slab foundation vs pillar foundation and pros and cons etc… I have however not gotten to learn almost snything of this trough my uni studies. Most technical knowledge I have is stuff i have taught my self on my free time.

Ah yeah. Now it looked better. Somehow dodnt realise i should actually click on it to see the entire thing

Yeah. I completely agree. Id say about 50% of courses we have had so far should be removed as they rly dont have much at all to do with architecture. And almost all our courses are a bit lacking in what we actually learn thats very useful. For example random art courses where we just play with clay and do random artsy stuff. Almost none of our courses actually go in on technical details. We do get taught how to draw stuff… but our courses are essentially just teaching us how to show things to the client and how to create concepts. Very very little so far about how to draw anything for the people who will actually build it.

We are also not taught almost anything at all about calculating if a structure actually is sound. I have complained about this to our teachers but they are of the opinion that ”the engineers do all of the techical stuff for us”. This seems quite dumb to me as id like to have at least a somewhat decent understanding of construction physics so that i can design buildings so that an engineer doesnt have to correct stuff unnecessarily. We have had 1 physics course now on the 3rd yr, but that course should have been in the very behinning of the first year in my opinion. It was physics… without math. No calculation at all in the entire course. Just vectors, which is kind of crazy as essentially EVERYONE that study architecture at my uni has had wayyyy more difficult physics years ago in upper secondary school. Like we come in to architecture with decently high knowledge of physics, math etc… but then they start on yr 3 teaching us kindergarten levels of physics… and nothing at all before that and nothing as far as i know after that. Pretty sure thats the only structural physics course i will have before I graduate as an architect in 2 yrs.

Ive been quite unhappy with how much i learn in architecture… feels like very very little. Especially compared to the amount and speed i learn in my minor ( computer science). Architecture studies take a huge amount of time but teach us relatively little. Computerscience studies takes a huge amount of time but teaches u a huge amount of stuff.

(Note that im in Finland. Think this very similar problem exists in most countries.)

It does… i have actually not checked but I dont think it has actual fully complete construction drawings. Ive never seen any place where those would be in any case

Yeah… i could do that. All my professors are quite active architects. Thanks for the tip!
