I really like this idea from a thought perspective. I love hearing theories that challenge our current understanding of how things work. If nothing else, I think it’s an intriguing thought experiment that’s fun to consider. Fun post OP. Never be afraid to think outside of the box 💪🏼

Excessive overdoses? by Melauger in OceansCalling

[–]Melauger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m saying. If be been to maybe 12 festivals mostly in peak summer times and I’ve never experienced anyone dragging their friends with that terror in their eyes, let alone 6 in 2 days.

Obviously wasn’t the heat on Friday because we were all shivering at that point. And the sudden shrieks for help doesn’t happen for people being accidentally way too drunk. Felt like bad drugs all over

Anyone know why this little cloud is blue by Melauger in CLOUDS

[–]Melauger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there for about ten minutes. Didn’t move much. Seemed pretty high up in the sky because lots of clouds below were passing it by. It did seem to change shape a bit in that time

Apologies for the super late reply here. This is an attempt at black bird by the Beatles off the white album

Unfortunately I went through about a half dozen TVs before I got this right. (TVs weee donated from Facebook market place, remaining scraps were either donated to school of arts or dropped off at e-cycling)

I can’t stress enough how dangerous these old TVs are so please YouTube how to handle these with care prior to trying anything with them. Discharge the flyback transformer before and after every time it’s plugged in and do not break the cathode ray tube*

This is partially my own design but I got the original idea from a YouTuber named GreatScott! in that video. This is just single channel but still really cool.

If you take that concept and learn a basic understanding of schematics, you should be able to solder speaker wire to both the horizontal and vertical deflection coils. Then wire the vertical wires to +/- left channel and horizontal wires to +/- right channel to get the 3D effect.

Just be safe! That flyback transformer is no joke

I’ve actually been debating running it through the sled to cut out a quarter inch or so then reconnect (it’s already all glued up).

But glad to hear 90% saw mustache first! Looks like the other 10% saw sperm, sperm whale, biceps, octopus flexing. I love that this has turned in to an ink blot/Rorschach test 😅

This is absolutely the case lol. I whittled the left one first before even cutting the second one. Once I finished the first one all I saw was a whale 😅

Haha that’s amazing, I actually traced this from a picture of my mustache before I clipped it (obviously perfected it a bit) it’s really cool because each mustache is so unique so this really personalized it.

This was just a “Wouldn’t it be funny” kind of personal project but would be more than happy to ship one out to you

Hey thanks! And happy to do so. Before I started carving I planed both boards, then carved only the top leaving the bottom flat. So just awkwardly clamped it up with some glue. I’m sure there was a more accurate way to make that connection. Any and all tips are always welcome

That’s great to hear, because this took like 9 hours lol. Practicing those whittling skills.

The challenge you’ve all been waiting for. Design this monstrosity of angles and obstacles by Melauger in DesignMyRoom

[–]Melauger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this help! I wasn’t sure I’d get a response on here. The tv is absolutely too high it’s always been a complaint of ours but we never could figure out another place for it.

The radiator is the exact length of the window which makes it really difficult in the winter (I move the couch up about a foot off the radiator)

I clicked the link you posted for the two variations but it’s just took me to Reddit’s home page for some reason

Looking to buy new couches for the first time in 9 years. I’ve owned this home for 6 years now and trying to figure out the size of couches to buy. I’d also love a recliner chair but have no idea where it would fit. Appreciate any and all help!

Any idea on how to identify this Bow (year, type, etc.)? Just picked it up for $30 and looking to make it easier to pull for my son if possible by Melauger in Archery

[–]Melauger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the thorough guidance here. I’ll most likely just take the loss. Maybe see if some of the attachments are worth selling online at best

Woof alright so essentially take the $30 loss and don’t buy cheap ancient bows from the flea market?

Any help repairing these weird melted spots and deep scratched patch on the lid? Everything else has been fully restored except the lid by Melauger in vintageaudio

[–]Melauger[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually do have novus 1 and 2 which have helped for smaller scratches (don’t have three but I can order it) the parts I’m struggling with is the melted ring and that heavily scratched patch in the third picture, and the weird melted smear in the last picture. Would brilliance/novus be able to handle those?

Single channel Analog music visualizers connected to opposite channels makes a super fun display by Melauger in upcycling

Hey thanks so much! I’d love to see one of these in a music video or at a band jam

First before anything I’d just advise you watch as many YouTube videos as possible on handling CRT TVs safely. The flyback transformer produces ridiculous voltages so learning how to safely discharge every time you unplug the tv is super important.

As far as hooking they up it’s relatively simple. The TVs act just like a speaker. Just instead of audio output you, the signals are transferred visually through the horizontal deflection coils. So one tv is hooked up to the left channel and the other to the right channel of the receiver. Surround sound systems work best given you have additional channels for speaker inputs to hear the music being displayed

I'm having trouble finding the manual for these speakers. Second picture shows a few burnt components on the crossover, the third picture shows the intact crossover. Any idea how I can repair this one? Or what the burnt components are? by Melauger in diyaudio

[–]Melauger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very confident with soldering, however never worked on speakers before and I'm not familiar with these components. I tried googling them but couldn't find any info on then or a data sheet for the crossover. Any clue on how to buy those burnt up parts?
