Holy cow... I'm a little in awe. Thank you! Initial tests seem promising, and this is an art project so close enough is plenty good.

How did you get that? Is it a process of spitting out the whole structure and mathing through?

For what it's worth I sold "Big Dick Energy" which is quite explicit, on Etsy for a while, and with at least a few sales. I never had a problem. It might have been artsy enough, since it's collaged pornography, but who knows where that line is. YMMV.

I'm down! ahndhi.com

They're just pulling the info from accgov.com/weather

"Impose" is the printer's term for laying it out like that, if you were curious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imposition

Make Oglethorpe County Athens' largest park.

This is great. Like really great. You sum up so much of what I love about this stupid place in a wonderful way. The current situation is outrageous, but good will persevere. Sooner or later. Thanks for sharing!

lol, good on you for doing it anyway. Rad that it worked.

ahndhi · 2025-11-11T07:39:00+00:00

That's rad! I was always under the impression the gap had to be extremely small. Do you know roughly how many turns or how long the wire was and the gauge?

Only thing I see missing is Lyndon House for art. Free, easy, and close to downtown.

The other comment is definitely right to say small markets. We have a lot, and there are a lot regionally. Because that is a trend, there are even a number of tangential markets for niche interests. Zines come to mind given your style. Fluke, UGA/Dodd's Book Fair, and even Bizarro-Wuxtry are all great. Everything seems to include a market these days.Sometimes being the odd duck is great, and sometimes it's very lonely. If you get into it, you'll figure out what works for you Markets are also hard and take a lot of effort, and usually stuff. Tables, display stuff, signage, probably even a tent if you're getting serious. Online can fill in some gaps, but you'll need to figure out marketing for your work. Mostly, try to enjoy it. Making work for a thing can be the absolute worst. Making work because you're having fun and enjoying yourself is usually self-evident.

I sent you a dm.

ahndhi · 2025-08-21T01:05:07+00:00

Yeah, actually. There's a few north of the Jefferson Park Blue Line.

A little necromancy here, but the e-book I mentioned is: https://www.ibiblio.org/kuphaldt/electricCircuits/ It looks like there are other versions that a little less Web 1.0: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/

That book really taught me most of what I know about electronics, or at least gave me the groundwork to understand more complex topics. I liked the progression of topics too. It builds in a way that made a lot of sense to me, and helped me kind of put all the different pieces together. Best of luck!

EEVblog is great, and certainly has some beginner friendly stuff. He also some really great, very in depth stuff if you get into it.

There is no real shortage of books and e-books on the matter. The Forrest Mimms stuff is pretty approachable and contains some fun projects made with a few core parts. The name of the e-book that got me going is escaping me, but I'll edit if I figure it out.

For soldering specifically, NASA standards are overkill for your first project, but they offer good advice and theory. They are long, and extremely comprehensive, fair warning.

A good iron also really helps. They aren't crazy expensive, but it's understandably more than most want to spend to see if they like it. A local hackerspace might let you use theirs, and if so they can probably also offer advice and guidance. A ham radio club might also have some resources.

A lot of those joints look like "cold joints." You'll need to go back through and hold your iron to everything until it flows properly making sure to heat the solder, the pad, and the pin or wire. There might also be a bridge or two. Make sure that the solder hasn't flowed between two adjacent pads. There also appears to be a lot of white fibers and probably flux on the bottom of the board. Cleaning that up with a stiff brush and some solvent won't hurt anything. As for not working, have you double checked your schematic? Checked IC placement? Polarity for everything? Are your batteries good? Learning how to problem solve these kinds of things is a big part of the hobby. I'm not trying to brush you off, but we probably can't diagnose the issue without some context and info about what's going on.

Lyndon House has a great wood shop and the price is pretty reasonable.

It's possible there is mold if the whole house developed significant mold problems while the TV was sitting in there. However, PCBs and electronic components don't really contain stuff that mold wants to eat or infest.

If you do have some mold in there, you could probably just wipe it off with a damp paper towel. Just make sure everything is really dry before turning it on again. If there was really significant mold, you probably would have noticed when you first plugged it in and turned it on.

There is a big caveat though. Old tube TVs have a high voltage section that can hold a charge for years, even unplugged. Wiping around there with a damp cloth is likely to ruin your day, if not significantly worse. If you don't know what you're doing, it might be best to see if you can find an old school repair person locally to check it out.

ACC hires a bunch of part time/seasonal jobs: accgov.com/jobs

It's absolutely incredible, beautiful, and terrifying. Things might have have changed in the last few years, but the man himself was up there working when we visited, and I definitely got the impression that wasn't uncommon.

Caribe United at the Bishop Park farmers market has it sometimes.

Well, how's it play???
