Making something orange, take a look!

frog bro, I thought we were doing 100 straight push ups in 1 set.

I got none, share some please kind sir.

Bro I'm injured, shoulder popped out and went to da moon. Healing slowly.

To recap, the base structure and outer walls are now joined. It looks like a big rectangle box with vent holes on the side.

You can see in the first picture how some of the edges are raised, these need to be level with the rest of the wall so that I can do the finishing work later.

Some of the screws were sticking out so I had to take them out and make a deeper hole in the wood so the screws sink in more before I can remove the edges.

I also removed the staples from the outside of the structure before working on levelling the edges.

Now I am all set to start using a planer machine to begin levelling this edges. My first time using this machine and I watched a few YouTube videos on how use it properly and safely.

I start using the planer and Fvck up the wall in less than 30 seconds. πŸ˜… 🀣

Made some rookie mistakes here and decided not to use the planer and I resorted to using a simple sanding machine to level everything down. This is minor damage and won't be seen anyway as it is an internal wall within the completed unit. Lesson learned and it was not too expensive. 😌

Now the outside of the structure is nice and level and ready for the finishing work. But first, I need to make and fit in the two internal walls.

Next up was to make a strong base to support the weight of the miner and the structure that sits above.

I cut 3 long pieces of wood for the length, 2 pieces for the outer width, and 4 smaller pieces for the inner bit. I kept Fvking up the sizes so I spent a silly amount of time to sand everything down to the right size so it fits together properly. πŸ˜ πŸ’’

Now that the wood pieces are the right size, I shaped the outer portion first, glued and stapled it together, Then worked on the middle pieces of wood and did the same. I waiting a few hours for the glue to dry up enough so I could start drilling some holes through each joint. 10 screws around the edges and then 4 screws in the middle pieces. I had to drill diagonally for the middle pieces which was tricky. I put some glue on the screws here and fitted them in, you know, so it's extra secure. πŸ˜†

Then I glued the frame to a sheet of wood, waited a few hours for to dry then filled the cavity with soundproofing material (Rockwool). Soon after, I put some glue on frame and then sealed it off with another large sheet of wood.

βœ… Base structure, DONE βœ… 😌

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Glue #Soundproofing

Now the two short walls are done and the two long walls are done. βœ…

I sanded down all four sides of each wall so they were nice and smooth.

I then joined the four walls together temporarily with a staple gun and some tape so that they were lined up and ready for more permanent joining methods.

I drilled a hole through each of the four joints of the structure so I could join it all together with a long screw (two screws for each joint). Now that the screws are in place, I removed the tape and staples. Next, I undone the screws slightly so I could slip in some glue in all four of the joints and then re-tightened the screws so all four walls would be permanently stuck together.

It took some time to get this right to ensure a perfect or near perfect rectangle is made and everything is level. πŸ’ͺ

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Glue

I forgot to make the external vent frames for the long walls and realised the next day. πŸ˜…

The following day, I made the frames. Without this, we would have insulation material flying out and we don't want that! 😷

I cut these frames out with a handheld jigsaw machine which was quick to do.

After the frames down were stuck down, I filled the wall cavity with soundproofing material and sealed it with the other sheet of wood (like a sandwich).

You are now safe from the insulation fibres flying out of the wall. πŸ˜„

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Glue #Soundproofing

Next, I picked up some RockWool soundproofing insulation material, cut it to size and filled the wall cavity. (best to do this outside, wear a mask, goggles and keep your skin covered) 😷

I then glued the frame and sealed it shut with another thin wooden panel (πŸ˜‹ LIKE A TASTY SANDWICH πŸ˜‹).🀣

Right after gluing it shut, I staple gunned it, then added weight to compress it slightly.

Then waited around 24 hours for the glue to dry and spent another few hours sanding down the edges so everything is nice and straight.

Now I have x2 long walls done, x2 short walls done which can form a large rectangle box βœ…

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Glue #Soundproofing

I forgot that I needed to make the smaller frames to close off the gap near the vent holes otherwise we would have insulation material flying out!

So I ended up making them the next day πŸ˜ƒ

These small rectangular pieces took forever to cut because I had to do it with a HAND saw. 😭 I had to do it this way because they were too small to cut with my other handheld machines (16 pieces total, 4 for each vent on the visible walls).

These small pieces were attached to the thin wooden wall with a staple gun.

Progress update βœ…

I got my hands on a small drilling machine and made a hole in the middle.

Then put the Jigsaw blade through the hole and cut the vent hole out for the walls.

You can see how bent my cut is 🀣 and it's the same for all the other cuts. I tried to sand it down after so it was more straight. πŸ˜ƒ

I cut a few circle holes out for the inner walls and these were much easier to cut to the right shape with a jigsaw machine. (surprised me)

I cut out 6 vent holes in total. 4 on the outer walls and 2 for the inner walls.

Next I will need to make the structural frames for the walls and fill it with soundproof/fireproof materials.

#DIY #Bitcoin #Mining #Woodwork #Design #Noob #Drilling #Cutting

I totally forgot!

Before I do what I said in the last post, I still need to cut out the vent holes in the sheets of wood I recently cut to size.

I spent sometime thinking how to do that and the best thing I could come up with is to do the following.

1) Draw on the wood to highlighting what size hole needs to be cut (going to be a square hole because I think a circle hole on a rectangle box would look weird???)

2) Drill a small hole in the centre. I might just stab it with a knife if I can't get my hands on a small drilling machine.

3) Use a jigsaw (has a small thin blade which goes up and down) stick it through the small hole that was made and cut the square hole to the right size.

4) Sand down the inner edges to make it nice square and smooth.

Never used a drill machine or a jigsaw so this should be fun πŸ˜…

Also, the UK has horrible weather this week non stop rain 🌧️

gm, made some good progress so far.

I finished cutting the main pieces of wood. So now I can put everything together to form a really rough & ugly looking rectangular box with compartments.

Problem is that I need take out the crappy filler material inside of the wood walls and add in some extra wood for the edges that will keep the structure strong.

Then I need to fill the walls with possibly fibreglass insulation to make it more soundproof.

For example, imagine a sandwich, the filling is the fibreglass, the bread is the wood I just cut, and I need to add in some more wood for the edges to seal of the sandwich (wall).

gm, making good progress on the orangething which needs proof of work. 🌀️

I fvcked up some of the cut lengths because I am a #newbie.

+ the materials are kinda weird,

so I will need to improvise with what I have

and maybe fvck up some more stuff πŸ˜…

how you gone doo me like det

tl;dr for my pleebs

"Britain is still viewed as a desirable place to live, even if we worry about its decline. Restoring that greatness is what we should focus on."

"We’ve been pitted against each other as a distraction. But at the core, we all want the same things: less crime, lower taxes, and functioning public services. These are achievable goals, but only if we stop letting politicians divide us."

"The path forward must be one based on liberty and freedom. Every political decision should be evaluated by a simple question: 'Does this make people more free or less free?'"

Never seen a pepe move like that, must be rare.

Does anyone have any tips or tutorials on how to setup which relays to use for maximum reliability and reach?

Maybe a youtube link or a link to a blog?

Thanks!

I have today off, so I will be getting the materials together to start building. πŸ™

I posted up the final (to scale) designs yesterday. πŸ’ͺ

If I use Umbrel and download Alby Hub on it, does Alby Hub run through TOR, or would it leak your I.P address?

or is it better to download Alby Hub on Windows and route it through a VPN?

Next up, I was trying to get a feel of what the hole cut outs would look like on the outside and on the inside. Made it all to scale. First two pictures are the internal walls.

I was also thinking about:

1) How to attach the fans

2) If the fans should be visible or not (or partly visible) from the outside

3) If I should leave space around the extra internal fans for additional airflow if I want to run the miner at full speed (because the extra fans that I add in will be slower and bigger with less airflow (to keep things quiet) VS the miner fans which are very loud small with high airflow)
