When my dad was dying we decided to do one last project together. So we built a small train set. He designed each part of it with a grandkid of his in mind. One loves horses so he put in mini horses. One loved westerns so he put in a little gun battle. We spent months on it. We loved doing model building together. Rc planes, trains, model planes etc etc. now that he’s dead I want to share it with my siblings and their kids. No one is interested in keeping it intact. I want to cut it into pieces and make a diorama of different sections and give it to the sections that are about each grandkid to them in a nice wood box they can see any time they want. Any suggestions on how to cut it cleanly without distorting it? Think 8x12 sections.

Despite living in a literal basement my apartment is blazing hot and we have to have all the windows open 😭 is there a way to adjust the amount of heat coming out of the radiators? They're also on my ceiling of that changes anything

I ordered a set of the Shogun series books from Amazon a long time ago and stupidly let them sit in the box and now they are all warped like this, is there any way I can make them straight again?

My mattress is very heavy so I can’t lift it. I have a hard time figuring out how to properly insert the fitted sheet on this side of the headboard.

Any ideas?

It's a bed frame...idk what kind but id like to know how to put it together if anyone knows! Please and Thank you!

I got this desk second hand recently and I really love it but I can't get it up the stairs as it is (my stairs have a narrow corner near the top) so I have to separate the top shelf part from the rest but I have no clue what I'm doing. I've tried googling and it says I need to point the cam locks towards the panel of wood im trying to disconnect it from but I've tried multiple times and tried doing it on like every screw I can but i can't get it to work, so i think i must be doing something wrong. I really need help so any advice would be appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

My right AirPod pro 2 fell in the siphon while I was washing my face. I tried every ustensile in the kitchen but I’m not able to.

Any advice please ?

It was a gift so I really care about it and my coverage expired too.
I’m not eligible to get apple care + either.

so i left an incense stick on the corner of my bathtub like an idiot, and only realised when it was too late and the ash had dropped into the bathtub, melted it and now it looks like the picture.

is this fixable? what can i do to smoothen it out?

Hi everyone. In my apartment we have these dome-style lights that have led bulbs inside them. I cannot find a way to open the cover of this fixture so I can change the bulb. The other place I lived in had a similar type fixture, however, you could reach into the small gap between the fixture and the ceiling and press down on a latch that would open it up. This doesn't seem to have anything like that. It's also crossed my mind that this might be a totally disposable unit. Unfortunately the one in my bathroom over the vanity was--it died after a few years, and there was no bulb replacement....you had to install a whole new unit. I'm still in shock over the landfill nightmare that was. I'm hoping that's not the case here.

Edit: Thanks for the replies. I'm still trying here. I managed to get hold of some instructions, however, I'm still stumped. It looks easier than it is. Who designs this stuff?

Hi everybody , sorry if this isn’t the right sub for this.
Recently on a night out my heel broke. We purchased super glue and stuck it back together, but i accidentally got some glue on my jacket sleeve. It’s a faux leather jacket with wool sleeves (i am assuming since it was second hand) and the superglue is on both materials. Should I just accept it or is there any way to get this out or at least minimise it without damaging the jacket? I’m really hoping for the latter.
Any help is appreciated, thank you

Edit: okay so it was in fact the screw, however I never thought to check it because I plugged the thing in originally and NEVER PUT A SCREW IN so I have a ghost in my house. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

How in the sam heck can I remove this? I put it in the wrong outlet last month. it has two three prong on the other side. My leverage situation is not working and I don’t want to die.

Hello! My dog has a pain med that needs to be cut in half. The problem is, the pill is super chalky and doesn’t cut evenly. I’ve tried a knife and a pill cutter. Both leave a mess of dust and an uneven cut.

Does anyone have any other ideas or luck using something else? If it helps, I get his meds filled through Costco.

Hi everyone. My friend is disabled and cant pull the required 30lbs of force on a line.

I feel like there has to be a motorized device already out there that would suit our needs. The rope (line) diameter would be 2-3mm diameter. It would only need to reel in. Releasing tension on the line should naturally extend it out.

This is to try and help him used a fan powered paraglider. Ideally he could hold a remotes in each hand for each side of the kite.

Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions 😊

What’s the best way to fasten this to the floor? I have rubber floors so an adhesive would work but the only parts of the console that touch the floor are the thin walls.

I found this great little rolling bar in the alley and rescued it for my garage. Everything about it is in great condition except for two of the rolling wheels that have fallen off. Any ideas of how I could go about reattaching these? It looks like the nuts the wheel bolt screwed in to were soldered in place. An example of one of the feet where this is still intact is included in the photos.

Is there some way/ideas on how to get them (the nuts) fitted back in place with some kind of strength that doesn't involve me buying a soldering kit?

Or for anybody who has experience with soldering kits. Is it worth it to use this as an excuse to add one of those to my tool kit? Would soldering these nuts in place even be strong enough?

Thanks all!

sometime yesterday my jug of laundry detergent fell over and spilled all over the top of my dryer and spilled into the lint catcher and drenched the catcher, I now have discovered that the bottom and behind the dryer is soaked in soap, is this an easy fix or should I just buy a whole new dryer?

I got this teddy bear along time ago from my grandma and it is no longer playing the message that she recorded. I have no clue why not, I have only tried replacing the batteries and have no idea what else to do.

Hi, please Explain it like I am 5-- I have a VPN subscription and a nice router, but I am technology dumb.

Got cracked will moving to new house. Piece doesn’t push back completely in some places. What’s the best way to repair this crack

I bought this sailor cap for a Halloween costume. High quality, but its a bit loose as i expected. Padding it works fine, but i figured out i can use this head strap from an old hardhat to wear it more securely.

Only issue is the hat swivels around and the strap falls out if i jostle my head too much. Is there a way to keep the strap in and fit well without using adhesives?

weird request, but I need to make a VHS tape play ONLY static for one hour for a performance piece. how can I accomplish this?

one restriction: I can’t tune the TV to a channel because it has no antenna (aka I can’t record a channel of static).

Whatever I insert in this holder is coming up to be dem the bulbs have been checked in other holders in the same line and are working perfectly. The springs inside the holders are also working perfectly.
