You gave me hope that I might actually be able to repair this ancient old road case my stepfather left me when he passed. It had a 62 Fender Stratocaster in it that rattled around. It also put (for lack of a better term) an adhesive residue on the neck of the guitar. I got the guitar cleaned up and it rests in a new case. I have kept this case knowing I would eventually find a way to repair it. I initially reached out to the manufacturer but they wouldn't return any kind of emails or phone calls asking about repairing the interior of this extremely heavy metal exterior road case. Now I think I have a couple more things to figure out before trying this. 1 I have to clean out the old interior so if I use the Strat for a mold like you did I will somehow need to raise the guitar off the bottom of the case in order to "foam the bottom". 2 will this raise the guitar and should I also weigh it down somehow? 3 what do I do with the top of the case? And 4 what kind of fuzzy stuff do I cover this new interior with? You gave me hope now I just need to answer some questions. Thank you!
Follow the can, but what I said in the video is that I used 35 drops for a golf ball size portion of bondo. I am accustomed to the regular bondo hardener that is more like toothpaste. The liquid hardener that comes with the metal reinforced is a new thing for me
I was about to start doing this, then I saw you needed a bandsaw lol I haven't used a band saw in like 10 years since I was a machinist in Alaska working for a salmon processing company.
I uses a scroll saw. (Less fire power than a band saw) I have seen folks heat up the records first and then cut with a scissors. That seemed harder to me
Greetings from a Tiny Island in Maine, USA We just had 2 of those days…we bought our 1st pontoon boat (very happy) and sold our old bow rider boat that we had for 16 fantastic years (also really happy). Both are used bow rider was 10 yo and toon is 4 yo. Fair winds.
I bought a 2006 sun tracker 22ft party barge. It’s has been the best, low maintenance, engine has worked flawless. Haven’t have to really work about winterizing in Texas (Austin) , only had to change the prop and oil ect basic maintenance
Awesome! We just took ours to the lake for the first time this year. I feel like we get better at it, and have more fun each time we go. I even got her back on the trailer on the first try!
Nice job, great vid, thanks. Wish you had shown how you you handled the inside of the door... especially dealing with the spray foam thru that open hole. Bondo interior side too? I could see you painted interior side but not how it was done.
I'm curious about using the foam filler as a backing. I've seen this approach used in auto body repair with poor results. It seems as though rust on panels is a result of moisture trapped on the inside surfaces, where it sits for long periods and the foam will just be more likely to hold and trap this moisture causing more and quicker rust formation. It would make more sense to attempt to address the moisture coming from the back or sides and allow trapped moisture to instead drain away. I would use a sheet metal patch and any bondo product once the moisture issue was addressed.
Thanks for this posting this DIY video! I've been researching for a solution to repair & restore rusted out metal lawn chair legs, and this seems to be the best shot at getting a few more years use out of them. I loved your thorough step-by-step instructions - very helpful for a "never done-it" beginner. 😎 Also loved watching the sped-up section of painting the doors. It was almost therapeutic to watch and probably made anyone who has tackled painting wish all paint jobs could be so easy and quick! Lol! 😁🤣
I just bought a 40-year-old(!) pontoon boat, my first boat ever! Yeah, it's got a wood deck, but for the price I got it for I'm not complaining! I too am busy looking up vids about engine work and maintenance.
So cool. I wanted to do something like this but I made a sun shaped hanging wall art with an old grand piano. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--7do9Ji-MSU.html
Hello Good Sir. I'm planning on making one of these for my good friend who lost her mom a couple weeks ago, a strong religious and music driven family. I wondering if you can help me with how you created the backing to attach the piano keys. I'm having a hard time with trying to figure out how to space the keys out . any help I would really appreciate it. super cool and beautiful.
I had a rectangular piece that I was going to cut for the back support. I laid out the keys in the shape of the wings on top to see what shape the backer board needed to be and marked it accordingly
Strike that, now that I'm remembering, I did join two boards together at an angle to start and then went on in the manner I described above. Essentially what I said, just not starting with a rectangle
All right, I got my piano keys and I picked up some three-quarter inch plywood. I’m gonna try to go for it this week. I’ll shoot you a picture. Hopefully it turns out as beautiful as yours.
Love the commentary. I felt the same way. I was like why design something that would even make an experienced tech have problems. R & D just figured it works fine and it will be somebody else's problem to fix it if it breaks lol. Good job
I've never used it on a car. I bought an old stone house 15+ years ago. I fixed lots of rotted windowsills with regular bondo, and they hold solid even today
Awesome video. I'm 45 and have never ridden a skateboard..I did snowboard for many years. I bought my first e board and I'm very excited to try it.. Thank you again for the great video
Thanks for watching! Wear your gear! Us old farts break easy 🤣. I just added a pair of hip protecting crash pants to my ensemble. They go under my shorts. Just $20 on Amazon 🙌
Thank you. My husband has passed away, he was a Renaissance man along with being a handyman. Now I am left to do these honey do projects. Please take care of yourselves 🌹💯
Goes to show that you can’t measure people by color but should weigh them by their actions and merits. I’ve met intelligent people from all races and I must admit most of them are smarter than me and they come in all colors😊.
I really wish you would have shown us how to remove both valves and replace And the spicket end . Replace because my spickitt end is missing three of the Hook up knobs For the stinky slinky And needs to be replaced.
Glad to see you geared up. Esk8s are awesome and so much fun, but we all take spills. Looks like you’ve got the important parts covered (knees, head, wrists). Consider getting some hip protectors if you haven’t - snowboard and skateboard stances lend themselves to landing on your forward hip, and that sucks. Or just keep it at a chill speed under 15 and it shouldn’t be too bad if you do fall😅
