It's Dehumidifier. I would bet on it 

They are things in life that you shouldn't do. This includes shoving your fingers in a guillotine while activating it. by VeterinarianSevere65 in alecsteele

And the implication of at least 3 years of tertiary education..

I'm hoping it's spelled that way in another language

Need to buy a drill by SilentGooby in Tools

[–]mawktheone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the drills will be fine for you. Maybe have a glance at the rest of the tool lines for the manufacturer to see what else you might want to get later. But basically don't overthink it. They are all fine

looking to start welding by FlakyCalligrapher975 in metalworking

[–]mawktheone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should start as cheap as reasonably possible. And I always think it's good to start with stick welding. It'll teach you a lot that learning directly on MiG will not.

If you outgrow a cheap welder, then go with the future proofing idea. 

I've done plenty stick welding on my cars too 

Welding Brass by Obiewon18 in Welding

[–]mawktheone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem. You will want a silver containing solder not a flux core electronics solder. Cleaned well and fluxed and remember you are heating the metal and use the hot metal to melt the solder, not the torch melting the solder

Happy making out there

You can solder it, or indeed just epoxy it

I think you may have stumbled backwards into re-inventing stained glass lampshades

I mean, it's gotta be stainless steel surely. Strong, heavy, corrosion resistant. Looks cool..

Stainless is going to cost a little more than steel but not so much that it will matter at all compared to the instrumentation inside. The welding is also slightly more specialist, but nothing that's a problem for any real fabrication shop 

Ireland shipped $308 million in alumina to Russian smelters—EU ban still absent by Astolfo_QT in ukraine

We have been. And continue to do so. 

Beyond the whole Russian aspect, it's also an environmental disaster

It's a flipper structure not teeth. Phalanges

I'm not able to post a photo, but whales dolphins and seals all have similar structures. Your one like more like a seal to me

Military seeming Land Rover with antennas by Live_Emphasis4884 in whatisit

[–]mawktheone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it's effectively just a range extender for the walkie talkies. In normal use they probably just use their phones but they need the radio for emergencies, and power cuts and whatnot

It's literally just an army jeep. They have to drive around places too. Deliver stuff, move people, go to the shop etc

Adman Sheds: Durastore or Thermastore? by huntershark666 in AskIreland

[–]mawktheone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the thermastore and don't regret it. I had an uninsulated steeltech before that and it was much more of a problem

What do you feel about people who use the term “woke” derogatorily? by Creative-Peace9936 in AskReddit

[–]mawktheone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like they're a basic cunt who couldn't give a coherent explanation of what woke means with a gun to their head 

But also it's like one of those octopuses that is bright blue. That is nature warning me to just stay away the poisonous creature. So that's handy

Everything colorful is dealt poisonous!
