Do It Yourself

The whole thing disassembled...

Hello fine people of Beehaw,...

Hiya, I hope I’m not completely in the wrong place (/c/Technology seems to only be dedicated to tech news but not questions). I have this powerbank with a built-in solar panel. The powerbank itself seems great so far, but it’s a pretty tiny solar panel. I’ve read about the difficulty of just hooking up a regular powerbank...

My children are interested in making their own soap. I bought one basic piece of white soap and I have cocoa powder. I plan to melt and mix them slowly. Am I doing this right?...

Have a porch outside that is cracked and rotten, and the header boards are split and can’t be drilled/screwed into. So I need to replace those. What’s the correct way to attach 2x6 headers to concrete blocks, to remain secure and proper? This would specifically be for 2x6s flat against the concrete, not end to concrete.

Hey all,...

I’m starting to get more interested in building more complex things, but am unsure how to plan out my ideas. Is there a good source on drafting/planning designs? I honestly have no idea where to start.

See title. I have only very little tools so far, screwdriver with plenty of bits, hammer, drill. I’ve been thinking of buying more tools for general purpose home improvement. I like to work with wood, unsure what I will expand into later. Is a multitool a good fit for me?...
