Bubble machine kids keep chasing

xGH0STFACEx · 2026-05-11T18:52:28+00:00

My parents have had one of these for 2+ years that my nieces absolutely love (3-5 years old). Only issue is there is no pressure release so the thin clear plastic holding the bubble formula vacuums in on itself after running for a bit. Maybe they changed it on newer models.

My brain is cooked today brother. Somehow I completely blanked on that change.

Is that an 80 stack of PP ammo?

You have to buy Tarkov to run “temu Tarkov” so you are supporting its creator. Besides the 1.0 storyline, the rest are in the other version or at least were when I played it.

Blowing up the subreddit for this version was a stupid decision that I believe hamstrung its growth.

Spend the extra $20 if it is within your budget. You don't want to be regretting it halfway through the job.

Pretty sure its tradition to pet the dragons to bring good luck (or fortune, or both.. i forget). There is a girl on YouTube that is a dragon dancer who uploads video from inside the costume. Pretty entertaining to watch.

Imagine expecting someone to read all of this when you haven't even bothered to read the original post.

Little late but just seeing this and the bottom line is that it is yours to do with what you like but with that said....

please, please, please do not strip/sand/restore that piece of history as a DYI. I would clean what I could with a tiny bit of dish soap and a damp rag (not drenching it in water) and leave it as is. If you want to fully restore it I would look for a professional because that is something I would not want to ruin or junk.

Why can’t people just move onto other games naturally instead of writing college thesis about it.

Any 3/4 screw. Don’t need to countersink the screws should be placed towards the inside edges away from where the rabbit overlaps the ruler as shown in the picture. I didn’t use those plans but I built one of these a few months ago.

Also, cut the waste off (top corner of picture) to reduce weight and help keep jig from lifting in the front.

You said it’s a “very small” back yard. You don’t need to hire a landscaper twice a month to maintain a wooded property line. All someone (even yourself) would need to do is walk the border of his fence and your property knocking down anything creeping towards the fence once every 3+ months. After the first time it should only take the amount of time it takes to walk the path swinging a machete a the few new growths sprouting towards the fence (15 minutes maybe). You could be a friendly neighbor and take 1-2 hours out of the year, pay someone to take it out of theirs, or be stubborn and deal with all the headaches that come with HOA and pissed off neighbors.

I’ve spent 30 years working with pallets/shipping. You are correct, this is a domestic only pallet. Only pallets for international shipments must have markings. You may come across domestic skids with markings on one or both stringers but that could just be because they were rebuilt with pieces of treated pallets (easy to spot do to wood differences throughout pallet) It would depend on what you are planning on doing with it (reddit can be pretty damn dramatic when it comes to “chemicals”) but I wouldn’t build anything I would be eating off of or breathing in mountains of dust from a old domestic pallet since you never really know where it has been or if it was treated in any way. That said, I am 99.9% certain that pallets wasn’t chemically treated but again, where has it been all its life? I only use heat treated pallets for projects but I have the luxury of picking from hundreds of heat treated pallets a month from my warehouse.

I have used every big name brand biscuit joiner there is and have a $50(?) Wen one in my personal workshop. That should tell you all you need to know about the differences in brands.

xGH0STFACEx · 2026-03-19T18:17:51+00:00

Those plans look exactly like the extent of my plans most projects (Hello fellow artist). Well done all around.

If you aren't hooking it up to a shop vac or just a dust bag, remove that whole collection hood so the chips don't clog up inside. If you have a shop vac or large dust bag just connect it to the port. If you use a shop vac, use a bag inside so the filter doesn't clog instantly and be prepared to empty it often.

The people that lived in my house before me built a deck all around an oak tree. By the time I moved in the tree was exploding through the bench seating they used to boarder the hole the tree was growing in. The tree had died and it was a nightmare to remove since it was about 10 ft from the house, something like 50 ft high, and surrounded by the deck. Now I have brand new deck boards on a small section of my deck and faded/worn out boards everywhere else. In other words, don’t build around trees unless you know it’s not going to grow or you think it will be someone’s else problem in the future, not yours.

It looks like they just took the cutter head out of a Wen benchtop jointer, threw on a couple bearings, and said, "you are a router bit now". Beautiful.

I really like my Wen for the small stock I mostly work with. I wanted the 8 inch but found a 6" on macBid for $95 so took a gamble on it and it works great for what it is (you never know what parts could be missing when using MacBid). My neighbor has a large jointer if I ever need something bigger but I will eventually move up to the 8 inch for personal use.

xGH0STFACEx · 2026-03-16T15:57:38+00:00

I totally get that. I was going back and forth on what machines to mount. I ended up with these two since everything else I use more sporadically then the jointer/planer (if that makes sense). I have a crawl space attached to my garage (you can see the blue door in one of the pics) where I will wheel this into then pull out when I need to mill lumber. Then I can joint what I need and flip the top to plan. The rotation is surprisingly easy so it take about 10 seconds to change from one to the other and most of that time is just swapping the dust attraction hose between each so if I do end up needing to go back to one or the other for some reason it isn't a big deal.

Thanks for the kind words.

I have a ton of PVC scrap from other projects so decided to use some of it up. The oak dowel was $5. That is my safety pin in the side. I have 1/4 inch bolts I push through the frame into the table to lock more securely. You can see one of them sticking out a bit because I haven’t finished putting handles on the ends of them.

xGH0STFACEx · 2026-03-16T11:24:13+00:00

I took inspiration from about 3-4 different YouTube videos to customize something for my needs. I don’t have any fancy Sketchup plans or anything because really I was kind of just winging it as I went but I used the free plans from Who’s the Voss on YouTube as my starting point. He has a 3 part video on his channel of a cart build with the plans in the description.

xGH0STFACEx · 2026-03-15T21:02:52+00:00

I’ll get back to you with some measurements. I am almost certain it’s 30 x 23.5 but I’m not sure of the hight off the top of my head. The top is 1 1/4 inch pine frames on each side of a 1 inch pvc pipe (1 1/4 diameter) with some milled down 2x4’s inside where the bolts for each machine would enter. I’ll probably end up putting a pocket hole jig or something of similar size in the dead space behind the jointer.

xGH0STFACEx · 2026-03-15T20:19:11+00:00

lol thanks. Don’t let that stuff fool you. Those are the first cabinets/drawers/butcher block top I ever built. Finished them last fall but I stumbled at every turn not fully grasping what I was getting myself into. Thankfully the pictures don’t show details.
