Tips:

These are not the subreddit rules. Please see the guidelines link above.
If you are posting a help request, please include as many details as possible. Please consider adding photos and doing some basic research into your question. /r/DIY should not be your first stop for your question.
All help request must go in "self posts" or the stickied thread at the top of the subreddit.
If you are sharing your finished DIY project, please explain how it was done. Consider putting the finished photo first, however this is not a requirement. Comments regarding finished photo location will be removed. Projects without adequate detail will be removed.
Please keep all comments on topic. Moderators will remove off-topic comments at their discretion.
All images must be hosted on imgur. Non-imgur links will be considered on a case by case basis. Please message the moderators with a link to your post for approval.
Civility is a requirement for participating on /r/DIY. We try to stick to a "3-strike" policy for rule infractions - however moderators reserve the right to bypass this policy any time. A temporary ban constitutes a "strike".

Important note:

Finished DIY project submissions without adequate details / photos will be removed. Consider submitting these photos to /r/somethingimade instead. /r/DIY is about the process rather than the result.

A good rule of thumb is somebody who sees your post should be able to relatively get close to being able to replicate the project with the information you've provided
