KILZ FILLZ Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 refurbished a lamp ive had for a while. its been needing some attention for a bit. its the first time ive done this and it was much easier than i expected. aside from waiting for the paint to dry, this was a very quick job. rewired with new plug, cord, socket, paint. gonna grab a new shade soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Re: D• I • Y [do it yourself thread] DISSY - UNPLUG the lamp remove the shade, bulb, and mount that holds the shade. once you get to this point pinch where my fingers are. remove & be mindful of the wires remove the sleeve of the socket detach the wires by loosening these 2 screws pull wires thru bottom as with any new disassembly, make sure to keep track of the order you remove everything.

Guest Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Re: D• I • Y [do it yourself thread] NEW WIRING- you can modify and old extension cord for this part. Or use speaker wire i suppose. feed the new wire (unstripped) thru both pieces of the plug pinch the prongs together. they will pierce the insulation on the wiring. pull thru FEED THE NEW WIRE THRU THE LAMP BEFORE THIS NEXT PART split about 3" strip the insulation off about 3/4" twist wrap your bare wire around the 2 screws on the socket in a CLOCKWISE motion. this way, as you tighten the screws the wire will wrap tighter around them. if you were to wrap them counter clockwise they would loosen themselves as you tighten the screws... (i ended up using black wire instead of brown and painting the new socket silver to match the rest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Re: D• I • Y [do it yourself thread] I make/hack all kinds of stuff. If I ever get organized I'll post some pics. There's a great hacker space in SF called Noisebridge that I go to once in a while. So far I haven't done much besides use the sewing lab and watch my friends build robots...the one downside is that it's an open floor plan, which can be somewhat distracting at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had a few more pages but might have been corrupted during Melt12Melt I recently fixed our blender. Summer is arriving so we need fruit shakes and other nutritious blends to ingest If interested, it's here: http://forum.12ozprophet.com/threads/the-your-day-in-pies-photothread-non-artistic.122516/page-984#post-8750384 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inappropriate_Responder Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Re: D • I • Y [do it yourself thread] KO this is a fairly new thread no other contributors. until now: Fixed our Kitchen Aid blender today. The coupler teeth broke and wasn't operating to optimum efficiency. I'm on the internets so no problem After finding the model number on the bottom I went on the internets to find replacement coupler if existent. This part was broke These are the only tool needed the thread on the spindle stud are righty loosy, lefty tighty. Opposite of what you might be used to unless you're a welder. Start chiseling 'righty loosy' all the plastic shatters off continue chiseling at the aluminum armature disc until it unscrews off the new part arrives in the mail just in time follow instructions included to screw on by hand lefty tighty btw, that is the cleanest "used" blender I have ever seen.

Ko SprueOne Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 This is the only D I Y thread I could find and I didn't want to start another new one with a single image so BUMP it is... Male-stem caps, make good insulators for your leads so they don't touch each other or other things they shouldn't be touching. The interior diameter fits over the lead tip perfectly so the friction will not allow them to fall off with gravity alone. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteraven Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Guess you gotta keep your bike pretty clean to want to put it on display like that. Can’t imagine all the grit and stuff that must get on your stuff or wear down the black painted wood otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 @misteravenit's just an ikea hack version of one of these. Have seen another DIY done in a similar way with a pair of drop handlebars mounted to the wall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
