I'm an engineer by degree with a passion for the arts and working with my hands; and a disdain for the way engineering is taught in schools. I'm a bit of a speedy jet with a broken compass, I'm always racing in the direction of the skill that's caught my interest... for now. My goal is to inspire others to get out to their local makerspace or their garage and get making things. Thanks for stopping by!

Next video: Xyla puts a finish on the Uke, strings and tunes and plays it, or she straps it to a CF tube and launches it into low earth orbit ;) hopefully the first option, would be a waste of all that beautiful hardwood,
Great video! Love the details and personal flair. I've been asked to build a few campers within the next couple of years, and this looks like a great option. I'm passing this one to my boss for approval.
_"FILM ALL THE THINGS!"_ I was *_really_* hoping the phone was going to go for a ride on the planer conveyor and show us what wood sees on its way through! 😊 (obviously with the deck high enough to clear the phone!)
Excellent except for the shelves I would have gone with pocket holes and wood filler rather then drilling into the ply layers...too much weight on those shelves and the ply layers will come up in a big chip.
If anyone wants to place frets on a neck, here's some Excel code to help. Put the string length in a cell, I used B1. Make a list of the fret numbers in column A. Then in the next column to the right, here's the code: =$B$1*(1-2^(-A%/12)) where % is replaced by the row number. Copy this down for all the fret numbers. So if your neck length is 40 cm, this will spit out how far from the nut every fret is in cm, fret 1 = 2.245 cm, fret 2 = 4.364 cm, etc. Clearly you try to be exact, but being off the tiniest of amounts won't make it impossible to play in tune.
Amazing work! I just watched a video a couple of days ago about 3-d printing a guitar and that was impressive, but building it from scratch from wood in 24(ish) hours - a whole other level!
The small-scale vehicle demonstration is flawed in several ways. The equations derived from Newtonian mechanics show there are 3 regions: wind speed (w) > vehicle speed, w = v, v > w. For vehicle's governed by derived equations in 1st region wind pushes vehicle and in 3rd ground drives wheels and thus propeller. The vehicle must cross through 2nd region where relative speed is 0. The small-scale vehicle has not been validated to follow these equations in sense is wasn’t demonstrated to be able to transverse from region 1 through 2 to 3. Also the wind speed for derivation in steady state and nonzero. That is principle assumption. In small-scale the vehicle is placed on constant speed treadmill. However the speed of treadmill has not been demonstrated to fall within speeds in 3rd region up to maximum obtainable speed for this specific vehicle! Assuming small-scale vehicle obeys equations and can accelerate from region 1 to 3 *if the speed of treadmill is greater than maximum speed obtaining for this specific vehicle then this is equivalent to driving the vehicle with input of energy! This is biggest fatal flaw as input of energy is forbidden. Also it’s important to remember that the aerodynamics here are NOT scale-invariant either. Also the small scale lacks ground effects of wind (though no wind was used). Finally the small length of treadmill makes it impossible to discern if vehicle is accelerating (+ or -) which would be helpful to know
Poor Daisy. Most stressed I've ever seen her. You guys did very well to get as far as you did in so few hours. You just know Daisy is going to take 5 times that to finish the Uke properly.
Just want to poke a hole on the remaining rumors that the tools would for some reason do other things while girls use them, in fact they do the same regardless of gener of the user :) Girls does seem to have more pleasure while working, and you clearly used tools many times before :)
Props on sharing your story. Takes a lot of guts. But birth control is shit you are pumping into your body you don't need and can really screw you up as you found out. From research I've done and other videos I've watched the shit is toxic. You were made the way you are for a reason, just like men. We are made they way we are for a reason. When you use drugs to curb certain things, it usually never turns out ok. There is a price to pay, again, as you found out. I know your social ideals and mine DO NOT mesh at all, but you don't need birth control. There's this thing called abstinence. It works. You don't have to have sex. There are also other old fashioned forms of birth control. Pull out. Condoms. You don't get sick that way and still have a chance of pregnancy. Women have gotten pregnant on birth control as well. And yes,I have an opinion even if I don't have a uterus. (My wife does and we talk about her's all the time now that it's infected with cancer and she has to have a hysterectomy). That's a stupid argument anyway. Everyone can have an opinion on anything. The only difference is if it's informed or someone talking out of their ass. I hope to be the former. Anyway. Be well. I hope your message helps other women dealing with pumping poison into their bodies and it making them think things they wouldn't have by not using birth control.
I feel like timed challenges always start with “I wonder if I can build at my own pace and finish in 24 hours.” and end with “We need to rush to finish in 24 hours!”. Thanks so much for sharing this, i had so much fun watching and also learnt a bit about how ukuleles are made! 🩵
