Thank you for this very good and clear video. I am still learning my way around CNC and am getting ready to cut some big sheets, so tiling and registration are interesting to me. Some of my planned big sheets have many parts. I ran a test recently using tabs to hold the many parts together so holding the sheet is less critical. I made the tabs about half the thickness of the material. This allows a router with a 1/4" trim bit (with a ball bearing) to guide the bit along the half-cut depth while cleanly cutting away the tab. This works very well and requires little finishing. Thanks again for your video!
Haha, my dust collector uses a similar Alexa "plug-in". I'm planning floor space and only have room for a 48x24 or a 30x30 cutting size...an extra indexing vs wider stock...what are your thoughts from a sign making perspective? Should a residential small home business even worry about 4' wide signs? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Just hold it in place with anything that fits, like a wrench or pliers, then give the shank a twist to loosen it. Once it's loose just use your fingers to thread it the rest of the way off. To reinstall, just thread it on with your fingers and use the wrench or pliers to give it a final tightening. Just be careful not to over-tighten. Your fingers might be enough. Hope this helps 👍
Larger kegs are easier loaded with them. They're like skids. I could load the half-barrel less than halfway and push it in the rest of the way without it dragging across the fridge floor.
This was a fun video! I have a bandsaw on the way... "smaller" than yours, but I plan to hit the wood racks outside and not BUY wood! I'd rather spend it on tools! Thanks for sharing!
never one guy pushing and another pulling at the same time.the pulling may not be expected by the pusher and his fingers may be at the receiving end , sadly.
Good video on cleaning your lines. If you don't have that neat springy tool/ball...coupler holder thing @ 4:10 don't fret...Just use a bar or soft drink straw. Just stick it up into the coupler a bit....then set it down carefully in the basin. That straw will prevent the check ball from blocking the cleaning & rinsing liquids. I have an older Perlick tap faucet that has two small almost hidden vent holes or channels that sometimes plug up with....crud once in a while. I just use a straight twist tie to open up the passages. (All faucets may not have these) It took me about a year to eventually realizing these plugged holes were to blame for my foamy pours. Just some fyi. This cleaning can be a pain to have to do all the time...very tempting to just say..."I'll clean the lines on the next keg change." But doing this on a regular schedule really makes a difference on how your brew tastes & how it pours. It's well worth the time & effort. Cheers.
Those cleaning kits are 30. A new top with one pull down and a new hose is 30 lol. I bought a new kit with two pull downs and both hoses for 60. Not sure why you'd spend the time cleaning something when you can just replace everything you're cleaning for the same price.
Easier. Quicker. Cheaper. Do you spend that much every time? How often do you replace it all? I clean the lines about every-other keg I finish. I've used the same kit for 10 years. Seems like the better option to me. But to each their own. Good on ya.
Did you sand the texture at all or did you use a finishing wheel of some sort to get the fuzzies off? I am looking for a way to easily remove most of the fuzz from the sign I made using your instructions here.
Great question. I just kind of rubbed them off with a combination of narrow scraping tool for the larger fuzzies (like the tip of a paint can opener), and used some fine grit sand paper for the rest. I don't go too crazy with that stuff. I like calling little remnants of things like that "character" and hope the customer agrees :)
If I repeated the same beer, or something similar, I'd let it go between up to 3 kegs. But it mostly depends on how fast you're going through them and the conditions you keep the system in. I would say that it's more important to fully clean out the faucet often. That's not shown, but I go into it in the "Changing your keg lines" video that's linked in the description of this one.
No need. You're not messing with anything electrical here and it doesn't take too long. You can if you want to save power, or de-ice or something, but it doesn't take that long.
This is great! I would have liked to see more of the business-side of it, as the title suggests.. plus the cookie cutter actually being used would be nice. Thanks for the video!
