The elephant snorkel welding extractor is also a great idea but I don't know whether you could make both work together So one of the worst houses I ever saw had a DIY kitchen where they just glued some cheap laminate over an equally cheap chest of drawers to make a kitchen island. I've wondered since if it would have worked better with more quality materials. Like if you had a nice old china cabinet/secretary with a detachable display case, could you hang the case for a cabinet and then nail the chest to the wall and put a nice marble or something on top for a counter.

You can DIY something that will only exhaust fumes - basically like a shop vac but obviously you need it venting somewhere you also don’t want those fumes and hot gases/sparks probably would destroy a shop vac quickly.

I've considered it for an island, although I'm much more likely to just buy a 4 x 4 wood-top from a kitchen supply house instead. stuxracer posted:The good fume extractors/cleaners for like welding indoors and stuff are expensive as hell. We paid something like $3000 for ours. Skip the shop vac and duct up a squirrel cage fan. That's how the dust extractor in my graddad's wood shop was set up.

There were two bathrooms on each side. The boy's bathroom was a pretty standard single-occupant toilet with blue walls. The girl's bathroom was painted pink, and was also a big room with three toilets side by side with no stalls, staring into a long mirror. I'm a ladygoon. I used the boy's bathroom a lot, even though I was terrified of being told off for using the "wrong" toilet. Anyway, I'm glad to know the architect of that bathroom has gone on to have a fruitful career.

Since commercial construction is my life, I guarantee that was designed to have typical commercial use stall partitions that were either dropped due to lack of money for them or specifically omitted by the client.

We use these at my work: https://www.surgimedics.com/laser-smoke-evacuators.html They're pretty cool. They have all kinds of nifty attachment tools. The filters and tubing are reasonable (expensive, but not the end of the world). They have to be very close to your work piece (skin) but they are incredibly effective. I don't know if they can trap lead, but for other things they work amazingly well. You could call them and ask if it would work for casting, you never know... If you're casting lead, you should really use a negative pressure hood and a mask. Maybe not cast in lead at all, ever. I know it's fun. I used to do it in college. We used a centrifugal casting rig that would let you cast pewter figurines really well. Maybe that's why I not think so smart so good anymores.

I've seen video (probably linked from this thread) of drawer slides mounted at an angle so that as the drawer slides out it clears some obstruction. Of course this requires a drawer shaped like a parallelogram instead of a rectangle. Comedy option: notch the dishwasher handle.

I don't think I've ever seen a dishwasher with a handle that sticks out. All the ones I've used have a car door type thing that also disengages the locking mechanism. How do you open that - just pull?

AlternateAccount posted:Hello is this my house???? Except for me it’s the oven handle. It's hard to tell from the angle of that photo, but the dishwasher is actually installed slightly crooked. that's so it clears the handle on the drawer on the bottom of the stove when it opens  the previous owner put in a t-junction for the gas line behind the stove to run a line to the garage, so the stove doesn't push back far enoughtemp solution is "open the dishwasher first," long term is to order new drawer face and door sized correctly. also please ignore the ghastly floor tile Jerry Cotton posted:I don't think I've ever seen a dishwasher with a handle that sticks out.

That's a frigidaire, and I remember at least KitchenAid had something similar. It matches the same handles on the stove, microwave and fridge.

It's all optioned - at least with Bosch you can just change a letter in the model number and get a recessed handle. (That after 5-7 years will snap the flimsy plastic bits that hold it together because rather than a release catch it's just pressure overcoming a spring/detent to open it making the door flex every time you open it. Because superior german adhesives.)

How do you open that - just pull? More expensive models of dishwasher have the handle like that because it looks nicer or something I guess? My setup is exactly like that pic. Only difference is my cabinets are dark stained wood, and only the corner of the drawer hit. The previous owner notched the corner of the drawer and you can barely notice.

It's a hard pull to open it, hence the flexing plastic. It wouldn't surprise me if it qualifies as a locking mechanism.

I just got a new pretty niche Bosch dishwasher a few months ago. Ours has the pocket door with the hidden controls on the top of the thing, but for the same price there was a version with visible controls and a pocket door, or a big handle with hidden controls. There was no cost difference, they were all about $1200 USD with zero difference between them. So it's just a preference thing rather than some indicator of what's nicer or not, at least in the US. Kitchen Aid was pretty much the same. I didn't look at other brands.

Not sure if this is the right thread but when contractors are building a wooden structure like a house or garage, how often do they typically reject lumber that’s way out of spec/warped or do they just lol and shove it all in? I’ve never had anything built new but I’ve seen plenty of garbage lumber in with the good. Not sure if it really matters or not tho.

I’ve never had anything built new but I’ve seen plenty of garbage lumber in with the good. Not sure if it really matters or not tho. It depends on what it's being used for, and if your idea of what lumber generally looks like is the poo poo you see at Home Depot or Lowes that's not at all what good builders work with. If, on the other hand, you are buying a development house or spec condo or other type of tract housing, whatever that has been "built" by a developer (actually a hundred of the lowest bidder subs) then yes, you are getting that. Except none of the good pieces you can pick through the pile to find at Home Depot......only the bad ones in any place where the local code inspector can't fail it for that and possibly more depending on how many shenanigans are going on (everything from being pad off to simply overwhelmed with too many inspections and not enough time to do them properly).
