DIY Socialist Screen Printing (For cheap)
Flea Market Socialist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE5ox6UytfgI started to make this as a look into screen printing process but it turned in to me just making and distributing propaganda again. I just love agitating 🤷
For some real trash-core DIY, I recommend using the free prio-mail cardboard boxes from the post office.
You don't even need to go in to get them, you can just order them free and they'll ship them free in bulk.
The medium sized ones make excellent shelves that can hold all manner of disc based format (and VHS if you're a dumbass like me).
They can also hold modestly sized books which is of course a plus for comrades.
Cut the closing flaps off the box and you can make supports so they don't totally bend in (I don't know if they'd actually cave in though without them, they might continue to hold but bent as hell).
Add a nice helping of duct tape to hold everything together and you're good, bone-apple-teeth.
One final word on the matter is that these become structurally shitty the more vertical you make them (shocker, huh).
What I've done is lean them back into boxes that are flat on the floor, and their weight holds them without sliding.
That probably only works for carpet, but whatever
They were actually fairly stable at four tall, but five started to present troubles, and six is obviously leaning.
Anyhow there you go, a shelf for the masses.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7RfYt_p2mk Okay, I try to find this book somewhere (torrent or pdf or epub)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginners-Step-Step-Easiest-Learn/dp/1569756619Can somebody help?
>>2100Heres the pdf
Got it from libgen at:
https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=1F002CAAA72B061F208F6C92A1743B87If you ever want a book, just check libgen or one of its many mirrors,
there always tends to be someone who archives it.
>>489Is there any ghetto praxis we can do to fight covid19?
I know the tyvek material is used for those full body suits, can we make our own masks? Apparently you can glue it with some commonly available adhesives like animal fats of casein. Maybe get cheap halloween masks and use the material as a filter? idk
>>27853lmfao youre shitposting right
bro you need to fix that leak asap
>>28366 (me)
okay that place is just a money laundering operation for property developers or something because I found the same shit at home depot for a quarter of the price and yes the vinyl gutters are half the price of the aluminum ones
>>28369if you live in an apartment cant you just complain to the landlord?
idk about the wall collapsing but the water will do a ton of damage and fill your place with mold, at this point the wall doesnt matter, needs to be busted down and whatever leaking fixed. Probably isnt even a big job
>>28371aight, i've called a plumber,
that's the person to call for this job right, or is a mason required instead
>>29077I'll go with the adhesive, I'm the same guy with the wall leaking water issue
I talked to the mason and plumber and they said applying tiles will stop the leaking, and force the water to go down from somewhere else
Landlords aren't the only bastards,
Even the builders who build such dogshit houses are enemies
>>29071Thanks. ya I probably was overthinking it.
Ended up using cinderblocks because the whole point here is to get water away from the foundation of the garage, so digging a hole and filling it with grave right beside said foundation is probably a bad idea. Havent actually filled them with water yet but it seems stable enough.
Now im putting on the gutters and jesus its a pain because the garage itself is ancient and practically falling over so nothing is level. Im basically trying to get water to flow uphill but I think ive got it now, waiting for a rain this afternoon to see what else I need to move and or patch with caulk.
In retrospect spending the extra money for seamless gutters might been worth it
>>30895I don't think it's a good idea, poster paint is generally pretty thin, would take forever to get an opaque layer on the wall.
a better option would be to find a secondhand contractor supply place (like habitat for humanity's ReStore) and buy an opened bucket of acyrlic housepaint.
as far as your UPS, a store bought shelf should be fine, as long as its anchored to studs in your wall (assuming you have drywall, it's different for masonry/concrete). You will definitely need both a drill and a stud finder to do it safely.
you could also pick up a shelf at ReStore for cheap. Check pawn shops for a good deal on a drill, its a popular item for resale by junkies etc, can often be got cheap.
>>30898but it isn't dangerous to use poster tho, right? like lead or breathing the air of it?
i just want cover up little doodles on the ugly spots, you got any ideas?
>>35327Probably not much more than the standard amount of microplastics in everything.
Ventilate well and long while it's drying, and for while after too.
>>41600torx is best screw
>Phillipsuncams, ruining the headnothing personell, kid
>Flatheadyou mean slotted? literally the worst
>>41606how do you even ruin a torx head? it's literally never happened to me, whereas working with ph/pz all but guarantees camming out and ruining the head, even with the correct bit
>a Pozidriv screw solves the issues of the Phillipsno they don't lol. both are designed to cam out to limit torque rather than using a torque wrench. it's profound retardation
I'll give you that Robertson are pretty good, but I rarely run across them
>>41608I can ask the same of you, Phillips and PZ almost never fail for me, while TOrx constantly fucking wears into nothing, no matter how delicately you try to screw it in.
>both are designed to cam out to limit torque rather than using a torque wrench. <pozidriv Anta baka?
https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/blog/what-is-pozidriv-is-it-different-from-phillips/ >Robertson are pretty good, but I rarely run across themMostly Canadian or in older construction.
>>41610what would probably be best is a straight recessed slot, since the force would be perfectly radial and basically impossible to strip, and the slot shape would keep the screw on the driver. the more corners you add (triangle, robertson, hex, torx) the less strong they become
>https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/blog/what-is-pozidriv-is-it-different-from-phillips/ this repeats my point:
>The Torx, or Star, drive style vastly changes the design of the drive recess. Due to the star having six points of contact (6-Lobe), the screw uses a truly radial force rather than an axial force. Phillips and Pozidriv screws use an axial force to drive the screw which is not as effective and is more likely to cause cam-out. For manual applications, Torx screws are quickly becoming the most popular choice. >>41614When repairing a computer they don't come with spare screws, and if you're replacing a splintered door-frame and the screw thread is fine, then they should be re-usable, but when you have to be hyper-gentle with the head, it makes everything harder, and screwing them in is harder too, an overall pain in the ass, hence my loathing for them.
Also Phillips, flathead and even hex screws are much more common in most areas, and so the appropriate screwdrivers are more common meaning I need to go out of my way to retrieve a specific screw-driver head just for this one type, which is an additional annoyance.
>>41615sounds like typical M3 screws in tapped holes. I don't see how you can fuck those up
I use torx for woodworking all the time, never had a problem. granted those are a bit bigger screws but still
