Thanks for the advice, I'll see how it goes if anything I can always change them if they wear out. I like the locking mechanism on these, I woulda preferred larger ones but this was the largest they had.

Today's DIY. More storage.

[Redman]

Hey Guys,
Im looking for a couple sq feet of corrugated plastic...corroplast is a brand as is corriflut.

Any advice would be appreciated..

[nos_specialist]

Corrugated plastic....hmm plastic galvanise wont work?

[Redman]

dont think so....making a water rocket and the material is for the fins...light and tough.

the waves on the PG wouldnt be suitable...I think.

Was hunting around the house to find some old pill bottles to store small screws and sheit, but wasnt find any. Gonna make these from now, save time and money.

I paid about 180 for a length of angle. I used 5 lengths for the standing shelf and 2 for the rolling one.
And the ply can't remember the exact price for it I guessing about $160
So 7x180=$1260 for the steel. Plus the ply.

[hindian]

Ill soon be building one of those workbenches myself but in the size 4'x6' at about 4' working height, but ill be putting a piece of 3/16" sheet steel on top as i want to bolt a vise and weld on it. Im borrowing your idea to store my welding plan in it and ground the whole table and just bring the hot lead outside. Im hoping i don't electrocute myself doing that lol.

Anyone ever had any experience servicing a ring stove. I have one and it's not lighting properly in some spots, it's been packed down a while and bits of rust on it.
I'm thinking if I go trough all the holes with a small drill bit just to clean the port and then blow it out with some compressed air. What you all think.

That could work, however try your best to avoid making the holes wider. It's a really straight forward design so it's pretty easy to service. You can also take a steel brush to the surface to aid with the cleaning.

[kripplerz]

That's makes sense I'll try that first before I do anything else. Thanks.

Very legit. Might make one

[Chimera]

The matchless fire starter to use with that is pretty.cool

[nos_specialist]

Alright alright alright....

Soo i am starting up my home Aquaponics setup gonna use some ibc tanks and barrels for the setup....if anyone wishes to do the same, or provide me wid some assistance, information etc..hey all are welcomed..soo i bought some ibc tanks..chopped off the top and began to fill and rinse wid water and some bleach....gonna do this a few times and put some test fish in it

[*KRONIK*]

Dont put fish yet...
Fill the tanks and let them sit a few days...if the water starts to turn green (algae)...that means the chemicals in the tank are washed out properly and is safe for fish.

[ADONI]

Right behind yuh nos with the aqua-phonics. However, I wanna do a little covering. I was thinking of doing a PVC structure, something like those green house.

Does anyone know where to get those furniture grade PVC fitting? Such as the 3- way and 4-way connectors.

Thanks

[nos_specialist]
