21:41 rue_shop3 '1000w'
21:42 rue_shop3 12-48V low voltage power supply
21:42 rue_shop3 Rated current:20A
21:42 rue_shop3 wait, so its... wait, I can work this out
21:42 rue_shop3 104% efficient
21:42 rue_shop3 :)
21:48 katsmeow-afk umm,, so what is it?
22:16 katsmeow-afk mou
22:16 zhanx Evening
22:16 katsmeow-afk hie
22:16 zhanx 1500 popsicle sticks later
22:17 katsmeow-afk wow
22:17 zhanx Frame for floor is done almost
22:17 zhanx 20" diameter
22:18 katsmeow-afk where do you get 1500 popsicle sticks?
22:18 zhanx Dollar tree I bought 20 bucks worth
22:18 katsmeow-afk oh
22:19 zhanx Got maybe enough for the floor
22:19 zhanx Scale model of a yurt thst is 40' diameter to a 20" diameter one
22:20 katsmeow-afk ok, so you wad up newspaper and stuff the kids shoes full, and act surprised when they discover it, and announce Santa Claws made a practice run
22:20 zhanx I over engineered the floor etc
22:20 zhanx Lol
22:22 zhanx On my pine popsicle stick "foundation" it held 40 pounds
22:22 katsmeow-afk well, thick floor is a good place to put insulation, i laid in R50 north-south and R25 east-west
22:22 zhanx Nice
22:23 zhanx Got a letter from the va today
22:23 katsmeow-afk it can be below freezing 24-7 for a week here, and my floors do not get cold
22:23 zhanx Looks like 70% percent disabled
22:24 katsmeow-afk two kereosens lamps, or one propane light, can heat the 16x16 room for a month, above 70F
22:24 zhanx Wow
22:24 katsmeow-afk so you must work 30% of the time?
22:24 zhanx Something like that
22:25 katsmeow-afk if you work, they use that to prove you can work the other 40 hrs a week
22:25 zhanx I get in hoke care also.. not sure why I need thst but I can use a maid
22:25 zhanx Home not hoke
22:28 zhanx I am looking at my structure and I am like where did they all go?
22:28 katsmeow-afk that's why people switched to plywood, honestly
22:29 katsmeow-afk i have seen houses built with two layers of 3/4 inch lumber as the floor, it's a lot of wood
22:29 zhanx It's all frame no floor or walls yet
22:29 zhanx Yes it is
22:30 zhanx I built a porch with 2x6 rough cut
22:30 zhanx That is a lot of wood
22:30 katsmeow-afk two layers?
22:30 zhanx Rough cut is true size it was 18x40'
22:32 tsmeow-afk worked a few days in a sawmill, computerised cutting equip
22:32 zhanx K make me some for the house I want to build
22:32 katsmeow-afk heh
22:33 zhanx I actually need to make a saw mill
22:33 zhanx I can cut all the line I want from a friend's land
22:33 katsmeow-afk yu *can* make some tools, olde MEN magazines had plans for chainsaw lumber mill and reciprocating blades, iirc
22:34 katsmeow-afk chainsaw mill willmeana lot of upkeep costs
22:34 zhanx Band saw blade I was thinking
22:35 katsmeow-afk visit a steel wholesaler, they may belike mine: change out and toss 12ft or more of carbide bandsaw blade every other night
22:35 katsmeow-afk i grabbed a few
22:35 zhanx K I know of one around me
22:35 zhanx Good idea
22:36 katsmeow-afk mine has 3 large bandsaws, they never go a week without tossing 3 or more blades
22:36 zhanx The land owner has 150 acres, wants a section cleared in the spring
22:36 katsmeow-afk you might get a good price on steel to mount the stuff you'll put the bandsaw blade on also
22:36 zhanx True
22:37 katsmeow-afk "cleared" ? prolly wants money, but you could get a hell of a lot of "scrap" firewood off 150 acres
22:37 zhanx 1 got if I want to pick it up a 15 hp motor to use and no he wants the hardwood I get the pine
22:38 katsmeow-afk they may have a size limit on the trees, you might get enough to make a sizeable pile of 4x4 lumber
22:38 zhanx Aka barder
22:38 katsmeow-afk barder?
22:38 zhanx Spell check got me
22:38 katsmeow-afk barter
22:38 katsmeow-afk what are you swapping for the wood?
22:38 zhanx Me cutting it
22:39 zhanx He is scared to drop trees
22:39 katsmeow-afk oh, wow, good deal,, you*will* need a truck good for the load and terrain
22:39 zhanx Tractor and truck
22:39 zhanx Skid out the logs etc
22:39 katsmeow-afk and an overhead cable winch with 100ft of 3/8 r 1/2 line would be a good deal too
22:40 katsmeow-afk ok
22:41 katsmeow-afk cheapie way to make a tallcrane: climb two stout trees, chain them together 30ft up, pin so the chain won't slide down the tree
22:41 tsmeow-afk did that
22:41 katsmeow-afk it's not the best, but it can lift wood onto the truck for bringing home
22:41 katsmeow-afk you got a bad back, don't make it worse by lifting it
22:42 zhanx I drop them and use my explorer to drag them out the tracto to get to a drag height
22:42 zhanx I did an oak 36" or so 40 foot this summer with it
22:43 katsmeow-afk 3/4 ton?
22:43 zhanx It will be fixed tomorrow parts are all in now
22:43 zhanx 1/2 suspension on an explorer
22:43 katsmeow-afk granny gear?
22:43 katsmeow-afk i am afraid you will wear out that truck real fast
22:43 zhanx 4.56 with a doubler and HD transmission
22:44 katsmeow-afk k
22:44 zhanx Chrome moly shafts
22:44 zhanx Normally I driver it over downed trees
22:45 katsmeow-afk i took a pic of my F250 with 6500 lbs of wood on it, the cab was misaligned from the bed by 4 inches, truck ran fine
22:45 zhanx Need to take my big tires amd get them redo also
22:45 katsmeow-afk but i also saw a logger break the frame of his real logging truck too
22:46 zhanx I boxed my whole frame in
22:46 katsmeow-afk k
22:46 zhanx Bored play toy etc
22:46 zhanx It's a 2000 with less than 120k miles on it
22:47 katsmeow-afk i put 80psi tires on mine, the knobbiest 12ply street tires i could get, without jacking the truck up
22:47 zhanx I can put it in first low low and not use the clutch
22:48 katsmeow-afk made an extra $50-$60 a day selling the wood i didnt want to split and clearing some pasture
22:48 zhanx Nice I can't do thst I have to plan now
22:49 katsmeow-afk my F250 4x4 had the low-low, the 3500HD diesel just has a 5. granny gear and a 5. rearend
22:49 zhanx Now that I know how bad my back really is I will use force modifiers
22:49 katsmeow-afk multipliers
22:49 zhanx Well with my doubler I am 254:1
22:50 katsmeow-afk you don't need to go faster than yu can crawl on hands and knees
22:50 zhanx In low low I can't do over 2 mph without red line
22:50 katsmeow-afk eer, lower
22:50 katsmeow-afk slower
22:50 zhanx I built it to rocks
22:50 zhanx It's slow and solid
22:51 katsmeow-afk ok, long as all that torque doesn't break something when you have several tns of wod onit
22:51 zhanx Hence the parts I am going with an f150 gear box now
22:51 zhanx My steering is all 1 ton but the box broke
22:52 zhanx New staff, pump, gear box and custom lines
22:53 zhanx Only thing better would be full hydraulic
22:53 katsmeow-afk battle tank hydraulics!
22:53 zhanx Which is not legal for a station wagon as my explorer is classified as
22:54 zhanx I really did think about going full hydro on it
22:54 zhanx 200 bucks more and way stronger
22:54 katsmeow-afk pricey
22:54 zhanx And run the risk of popping a bead on the tires
22:55 katsmeow-afk whee did you find a hudraulic pump and motor for so cheap?
22:55 rue_shop3 what did he make
22:55 rue_shop3 a mecha?
22:55 zhanx Trsctors, kabodta (spelling might be off)
22:55 rue_shop3 did he make a mecha?
22:55 rue_shop3 oh bobcat?
22:56 zhanx No I am fixing my truck
22:56 katsmeow-afk farm tractors are not 300hp V8 engines
22:56 katsmeow-afk they usually make 30hp max
22:56 zhanx It's a v6
22:56 rue_shop3 with a bobcat?
22:56 zhanx Rpms
22:56 zhanx No rue
22:56 katsmeow-afk i wouldn't think a bobcat is good for 100hp
22:56 rue_shop3 I'd bet kat would like to sell you her flatbed
22:56 katsmeow-afk i bet i wuld too
22:56 zhanx The pump is good for 6,000
22:57 rue_shop3 6000 rpm?
22:57 zhanx Rpms yes
22:57 rue_shop3 or 6000hp?
22:57 katsmeow-afk i bet it gets real warm at 6000rpm idling
22:57 zhanx The pump would never get 600hp let alone 6000
22:57 katsmeow-afk i tell you, it's not good for 60 hp either
22:58 zhanx My truck idles at 600-650
22:58 zhanx Torque not hp
22:58 e_shop3 goes back to working on the power su
22:58 rue_shop3 I want to get the pwoer supply finished so I can work on the scope
22:58 anx is the mech
22:59 zhanx Hp is for speed torque is power
22:59 katsmeow-afk you saying i never had an engine open or rebuilt a tranny on the kitchen table??
22:59 rue_shop3 if the truck goes 'RRRRRRRRRIPP!' when it starts do I need to add shims to it?
22:59 katsmeow-afk hp = rpm x torque
22:59 zhanx Nope and neither have I or been made to sleep outside due to it
22:59 zhanx Rue is it dog tracks yes
23:00 zhanx Unless your talking the starter only
23:01 anx is counting sticks in his model. Still confused on how I used so
23:13 zhanx 614
23:13 zhanx Missing stuff somewhere
23:13 zhanx Or I miss cut alot
23:20 rue_shop3 wow, this is such a small shop
23:21 rue_shop3 I should make the mowerbots waterproof, give them their houses and kick them out
23:21 katsmeow-afk i said that
23:22 rue_shop3 I think I remember you saying that
23:22 rue_shop3 I think I have to strip down the bookshelf too
23:22 zhanx Or just automate and keep them outside
23:23 rue_shop3 I havn't opened the second shop door in years, its required to open it to get the big mowerbot out
23:23 katsmeow-afk build a miniature multi-car detached garage for them
23:23 katsmeow-afk chargers inside
23:23 rue_shop3 hmm, it would need to consume power to stay properly dry
23:24 zhanx Solar
23:24 rue_shop3 that was the thing I thought of after the mental image of the power meter turning
23:24 katsmeow-afk if you can power it on solar, it won't make a dent in your power bill
23:25 rue_shop3 indeed
23:25 rue_shop3 it would be a good excersize in lower power consumption
23:25 katsmeow-afk 4hrs of solar in winter is 3 cents of powerco electicity ?
23:25 rue_shop3 I wonder how many animals it would attract
23:25 katsmeow-afk doors
23:25 rue_shop3 might have to spin up the blades randomly to keep clear
23:26 rue_shop3 yea
23:26 rue_shop3 have to be somewhere around the greenhouse
23:28 katsmeow-afk mowerbot hutch ==>> http://houseplansandmore.com/projectplans/009D/009D-6007/009D-6007-front-main-6.jpg
23:28 katsmeow-afk size it appropriately
23:56 katsmeow-afk ...
