    Building solar setup around a toaster oven?

    Polymer clay is oil based, it doesn't dry out on it's own. I don't know if steam will affect the curing or not, but thanks for the heads up. Sent from my LGLS775 using Tapatalk

    I found this video you might find helpful. Seems like it works best for smaller pieces. Sent from my LGLS775 using Tapatalk

    Building solar setup around a toaster oven?

    Here's the toaster oven I found. Better Chef IM-269SB Toaster Oven Silver 300W 9 Liter W/Bake Pan & Wire Rack Home & Garden https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DJHEPMY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_L112xbWQ6M7BT I'm glad I asked about this because now I'm thinking the propane oven is going to be my better bet. I...

    Building solar setup around a toaster oven?

    Thanks for the advise guys. I'm dumb, I did know that I would need higher capacity batteries, not sure why I thought 40 ah would be enough lol. I am looking into other ways to cure the clay. It needs to bake at a stable 225 degrees for at least 10 minutes per 1/4th inch in order to cure...

    Building solar setup around a toaster oven?

    I need to be able to run a toaster oven at least a few days a week. I'm a sculptor that works in polymer clay and the only way I will be able to cure the clay on the road is in one (it's the best way to do it anyway). This is how I will be making my money. The lowest wattage toaster oven I've...

    Thanks @angeli. I've sold a few here and there, but with my job I don't have the time I need to sink into sculpting the way I want, which is the main reason why I want to live in a camper. Sent from my LGLS775 using Tapatalk

    Buying a pickup for 2,000$

    @ArtW My first thought was to build the flatbed from wood. I've seen it, but not with a camper on it. I have seen some flatbed work/farm trucks on CL in my price range, so I might get lucky once I'm ready to buy. It's not a really big deal, just that I am also using the truck as an art studio...

    Buying a pickup for 2,000$

    I've seen people make flatbed style campers and it was just something I was considering. Seems to add a little more space width wise. Sent from my LGLS775 using Tapatalk

    Prescriptions?

    I'm taking something that is a controlled substance, and I am a little concerned about being able to get my script filled while traveling. My doctor said she will try to get me on a bigger bottle so I only need to get it refilled every 3 months, but I am still worried about having to have it...

    Anyone near 18-30 on here? Also, facebook?

    I'm 29. Do I count as a millenial? I hope not :/ Don't use facebook but I have a twitter and an empty instagram waiting for me to hit the road. Might start up a YouTube channel too. Sent from my LGLS775 using Tapatalk

    I'm a sculptor, I plan on selling on commission for most, if not all of my income once I'm out on the road. Here's a couple of recent sculpts I did for a con. https://www.instagram.com/p/BICgZ-UjMwN/ Sent from my LGLS775 using Tapatalk

    Buying a pickup for 2,000$

    Thanks for the advice guys. I found a couple trucks on CL that seem like they might work, just have to make sure I can afford any repairs I know I'll have to do. Now I'm just wondering if it will be worth it to take the bed off so I can cut some weight and give myself a little more room...

    Buying a pickup for 2,000$

    @ArtW Like Bob's F150. I "discovered" truck campers through Mobile Rik's site, so I'm using his design as an idea springboard. Sent from my LGLS775 using Tapatalk

    Buying a pickup for 2,000$

    Pretty isn't important, just needs to run and meet my basic needs. I am very low on options as far as buying a vehicle, my credit is shot from college so I can't get a loan, and I want to avoid having to make payments as much as possible, which means saving, and I don't make that much. I live in...

    Buying a pickup for 2,000$

    I've never bought a car before, and I was just wondering if I could get some advice on what to look for at that price? I want to build the camper myself so I'm going to make it light as possible. My needs are few. I know to ask about these Title Milage Transmission Motor Engine Bed size...

    Hello from Pittsburgh

    @rvwandering I'm a sculptor. I mostly sculpt animals, and I make pendants that I sell to jewelry makers. I'm a furry and plan on going to cons to sell, but I do need to research on smaller craft fairs to go to. The thing is most of my stuff is pricy by craft fair standards, I mostly work on...

    How did you get rid of your stuff?

    Going through this now. I don't have much since I've always rented rooms/couch surfed. I have a massive gaming rig that I want to trade for a laptop (gonna be so sad to see it go), and my aquarium. I keep cherry shrimp and I only want it to go to someone who knows how to take care of them so I'm...

    Hello from Pittsburgh

    Hi there. I'm starting from scratch, want to buy a pickup and build my own camper on it ( starting out with MobileRik's ebook). Still have a lot of research to do, biggest concern right now is weight. I want to build this as a mobile studio/living space since I plan on selling the stuff I make...
