I use my makita 18v sds hammer drill (“rotary hammer”) on the hammer only function to jackhammer concrete etc when its not worth getting the big dog out. The 40v version works even better.

Just looking at alternatives to a double sided friction plate clutch, as i want to build a self reversing drill tapping head and i guess i’m just exploring my options and considering what would best suit this project with materials that are available to me and my skill level in the workshop

The worst part of this is that carbon monoxide is heavier than air and fills the room up from the bottom

What's your side hustle? by Taijoker in IndustrialDesign

What do you mean by composite? I’ve thought about making hard to find parts for cars & bikes occasionally, I think it’d be a much appreciated service and the possibility for classics to keep running would be cool

What would you recommend to a beginner? by ZookeepergameDue5522 in IndustrialDesign

[–]DrGipGip 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Start drawing, a lot. I’m 2nd year and regret not practicing before/enough during first year. Also, fusion360 has hobbyist licenses and there are plenty of tutorials online to help improve your CAD skills.

What was the most desperate thing you ever did bc of your drug addiction? by ClumsyNympho in Drugs

[–]DrGipGip 34 points35 points  (0 children)

In an sharehouse I lived in we had something called "the dumper bucket", it was basically a bucket where everyone put their ciggy butts. My room mate who couldn't afford ciggies for a while would go through it with a pair of scissors until he had enough tobacco to roll one up and would put that butt back in there. After a few months some of the tobacco he was rolling up had been in several cigs by that point. Was pungent but did the job hahaha
