Here you’ll find some tricks of the trade for plumbing and gas fitting, also I’ll be exploring a series of methods for foundry, focusing on cheap alternatives to known methods, and especially, I’ll be posting hacks and DIY projects. All these are directed to the DIY enthusiast, those of us who would prefer to make our own car instead of buying one, if we could, but also focused on ways of saving money when you need to find a solution to a problem. The contents creator of this channel was brought up at home, at school and in the university focused on science. I have university studies and degrees in Biology, Fisheries, Business Management and a Certificate as a Licensed Home Gas engineer. I have worked for over 25 years in plumbing and gas fitting, but I have also worked for quite a few years in photography, business management and fisheries research.
Bravo............I use same process........the other one u never see ......aluminum foil .....place a strip under cut area and rap it over the edge 2 inches.....u then use plasma cutter and ground clamp to alum........cut like metal......cheers
@@RODsDIY Maybe stuff the inside of the wrench, so the tack won’t go to deep and push down and lift up when done. Or, use a wooden dowel and drill a hole the same with as the tack in it? Or, do the same cuts you did in a wooden dowel?
@@leonpse Yes I believe doing a similar cut in wood can work. You have to press the tack in quite firmly and straight so I don't think the wrench idea would work.
I've cut 1/16th inch plexiglass with a electric jig saw as shown at the beginning of this video. I covered the cutting area with one layer of masking tape and cut slow and smooth, not like the hack in this video.I had no issues as I cut panels to cover about a dozen small windows.
Maybe you should show us your method in a video so we learn how to do it. Maybe you got lucky, but the risk of cracking 3 mil plexiglass with power tools is too high. I have also cut plexiglass with the electric saw with no issue, but it must be clear, the risk of failures is very high.
@@RODsDIY I know nothing about making videos but my method was straight forward. The bottom of the workpiece was supported out to the edge being cut and a board was used as a fence on top. It was clamped together. The saw was ran at full speed and needs to be held firmly so it cannot grab the workpiece. As with any machining operation, cutting speed is important. Slow and steady. If I remember right, the blade was used and the cut was left with a partially melted edge which broke freely with little effort. Maybe you are right and I got lucky with all the holes in the Swiss cheese lining up. I also clamped the finished panels between boards and drilled holes through them with a dull drill bit for mounting purposes.
Thanks for your comment. I'm reducing the volume in the next videos, so the background music isn't frontground, but the m,usic is needed in most cases.
I think this is a great concept for a channel!!! I always talk about how it’s sad we don’t have people like this anymore, no more tv repair men and barely anyone to fix appliances. Many people grew up without a Dad, like me and had to learn it all the hard way. Great job and keep up the good work! Makes me miss tinkering on things with my grandpa once I got older.
I'm sorry RU-vid didn't notify me of your comment. Many thanks. I believe the most valuable thing in life for anyone is curiosity. It makes me sad to see so many young people who seem to not care about anything. There is something we - older people - have done very wrong.
Thank you so much. I'm just starting out and this is the first video I've watched. I'm very lucky because you gave me all the information I need in 5 minutes. You have given me a great leap forward in a process that normally would require watching multiple video posts to be sure I understand the process. Thank you for taking the time to post this video which I'm sure has helped a lot of people.
Maybe, angle grinders use high speed because they are designed for cutting metal or stone. If you have access to a variable speed or you have access to a Dremel you could try that option. 🙂 Thanks for your comment and suggestion Vompiris.
@@RODsDIY Nowadays more and more brands manufacture small angle grinders with speed control for very low prices, as well as Dremel-like power tools. I will keep in mind the low speed and the multiple passes. :)
Hello, and thank you for your excellent advice, I have my mother’s collection of French stamps from the 50s, many absolutely beautiful images. Some are bunched together, 20 stamps or so. If I soak them in water, I am afraid of hurting the ink stamp from the post office. Is it safe to do this?
Hi, in most cases it is perfectly safe regarding the ink, but the glue on most stamps should dissolve. I'm not familiar with all stamp printing processes, so I cant guarantee all stamps can go through this process. In my experience I have not seen any fading in colour or loss of ink, and some of the stamps are pretty old (XIX century). The brownish water you see in some images is due to rust from the album.
@@RODsDIY to be clear, I’m not asking about the stamp, I’m asking about the postal service cancellation mark they use so we can’t reuse a stamp. I’m hoping the black ink won’t bleed and affect the quality of the stamps.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sir. Also, great music selection. I enjoyed the video and it gave me an idea about how to make it with a motor and a cutting blade.
For the thicker pieces, using a wood/steel guide like yourself, I gently use a flat, fine tooth (42tpi) Japanese draw blade saw. This seems to work very efficiently, without producing the burrs produced by an angle grinder. Otherwise, a very good RU-vid to have available for the general public.
I'm not sure what you mean. Two nuts are used for tightening the rod inside the drop in anchor. The rod is used to hang something, like a steel bar or angle, which usually only needs one nut under it, although sometimes one might prefer a nut over the bar and another one under the bar so there is no movement.
@@RODsDIY im not mean the nut belong to the rod, im mean the nut belong to the anchor that lie or positioned in the top of the anchor that when you move the rod inside the anchor which in turn move inside the nut making the nut move back ( or down the anchor ) making the four sides of the anchor to expand against cementum ceiling or concrete ♥️🥰
@@yasirmahmod6832 The 2" long thread and the upside-down toadstool type nut I use to hammer in the anchor do not open the feet of the anchor. This bit of thread and nut are used only to push in the anchor when the hole is too tight. Ideally the anchor should go in easier than in the video. After I get the anchor well in, and remove the bit of thread, then I open the feet of the anchor hammering with the setting tool. At that point the anchor is set and it's inner thread is empty, ready to screw in a thread (in this case a long piece of thread).
@@RODsDIY so that bro , then which type of these anchors used for installating C channel ( The skeletal body or the bridge ) of gypsum boards in the cementum ceiling 😊 ?
Hi CuteCraft, I'm no camera serviceman. I can only suggest you have patience with the procedures I mention in the video. If none of those work after many attemps I can only suggest you take it over to a camera service who might be able to check if it's not an electronic or software issue, or have better tools than what we might have at home to dig out any rock stuck in there.
@@brianfong5711 🤣🤣🤣 yes, I must agree. Well, that's mostly because my hand is a bit shaky, but with practice, next time, I'm sure I'll do it better. There always is a next time.
