I like random stuff. I would like to build more things, and have plans to but in the mean time I make videos about the stuff I'm doing currently. Come hang out in the shop with me.
Two thoughts: Grey PVC is for above-ground applications, and white PVC is for below-ground. Out here in the desert, white sunburns and disintegrates (must be Irish like me!). Also, the average height for above-ground valves should be 8-12 inches depending on the freeze.
Thank you. I wasn't considering that, I was just replacing like with like. The freeze isn't too bad and the only thing I've read is that in order for the anti siphon to work, the valve needs to be above the sprinkler by a certain amount (which I was also not concerned with)
It's primarily trust based. Most competitors build their machines the night before. The advantage definitely goes to those with the most just l junk lying around. (Like myself and team mate) Since we both have fabricating hobbies.
@@unprofessionallytrained3956 It really was a fun to watch video. I watch Demolition or Matt as often as I can and I was watching for the lead up to April 8th
I'm here late but wanted to add that it turned out great. I would flip it over, paint the bottom and sides leaving the top of the table bare metal ( until some other product was found ). tHanks for the video.
Yeah I wasn't able to use most of my wife's stuff either. It's kind of crazy how much stuff needs to get cut to make a concise video. Must of my stuff got cut too. And I didn't even talk about the exploded battery 😕.
Replace your beam with two carbon fiber rods next to each other in parallel. Space them away from each other an inch with polystyrene foam spacers, (Just ordinary polystyrene insulation boards) and use a tiny amount of tape to connect them there. A foam spacer should be only an inch long, and be every foot or so. Obviously, it throws with one beam behind the other. You want that arm as light as possible. Polystyrene spacers sounds insane, but I promise you it works. Adding the supported 1 inch gap between each beam increases the strength by orders of magnitude. Will probably be half your 100$ budget though, so pinch pennies!
That is a fantastic idea. I would just need to figure out how to source those rods and figure out how to attach them to the weight. Might also be a pain to lift but I guess that's the cost of victory. 💪
Your arm is catching on the ground as it swings under the axle. Needs larger wheels to correct that. Also, locking the wheels would help. Then, stiffer materials for the arm!
All very good theories. We took some slow motion footage that didn't make it into the video. The reason it bent is because it stopped too quickly. When the arm was all the way forward the diff would smack the back side of the arm causing it to stop abruptly. Truth is, if you watch the upgrade video, we shouldn't have lengthened it.
Agreed, most of the contestants are engineers from work. The low cost of entry ($100) for the project and your creativity make it accessible. Stuff you already have doesn't count for the cost.
Hate to say this but that is absolutly leaking. Always remember that teflon tape doesnt apply to all applications. And i think if you removed the teflon tape that it would seal correctly.
Of course. The stands I have the thrust master ones on I welded together. I wonder how easy it would be to put a threaded insert into the desk and 3d print one of the connectors for the bottom of the honeycomb to make it quick change. (So you don't need the bulky brackets)
This is crazy but I actually just built a table out of old pallet racks and without even seeing your video fist I landed on the same conclusion as far as the choice for the tube steel and casters. Great minds think alike I guess. Good video. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you for the compliment. Idk about you but my thought process was "it can hold a lot of weight and the beams are milled flat from the factory it should make a sturdy table" the only thing I don't like is that it is not as flat as I would like (being a perfectionist) and that the clamp spaces work pretty well but I put stuff on there and it falls through.
Noooooo!!! Why are you cutting the values off when you can just replace the Diaphragm and Solenoid. I am lazier than you are. 😂😂😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y-SzmZZ2VUk.htmlsi=M2bpKHWLUHlkNYb2
Lol it's because where I live they are the same price as a new valve and have you looked at how many types of diaphragms there are with minor differences? My local place doesn't stock anything constantly and ordering online then returning to try another one is more work than just replacing the silly thing.
Someone should have advised you on those parts. And Linus, as has been proved recently, isn't a good source. Paul's Hardware is a good channel for PC build guides. Apart from that, good to see this video and well done.
I did a lot of research in making sure my speeds matched. I did change the build from Linus, his was a mini ATX. Unfortunately I ended up getting a faulty board. And thank you. I used to build PCs but it has been a long time. So far so good though and thank you. I am working to try to make good videos.
I looked at that and it looked like it would interfere with the ram. If not it would cover the RGB. With current marketing I think RGB gives more performance than cooling 😂
Did you work out what was wrong with the 1st motherboard. I have had similar issues due to bent pins on the socket of the motherboard on my old system which i think was down to an uneven mount pressure from the Noctua cooler i had
Yeah, it was a faulty motherboard. I ended up returning it to the retailer. The second one worked perfect. I had solid mounting pressure on the CPU and no bent pins.
@@unprofessionallytrained3956 no idea, sorry. I just watched a video the other day and the machinist said its what he uses. I have some on order to try, but its not over night to Canada haha
Noted lol. It says it was developed by Boeing so it's probably used on aircraft machined parts that remain unpainted. But that's what makes me worried about the use since it could either be like wd-40 or cancer in a can lol
You may be able to if it's the cover. I was taught by seasoned mechanics to always go tdc Sometimes if you don't you can't get to all the bolts or if you take it apart further because you discover something else wrong you won't know what position the engine is in.
@unprofessionallytrained3956 I think it wouldn't hurt that's for sure I just got 4 of these bikes for free mostly complete 1 seized 1 running driving good but it just leaks oul pretty bad all over the exhaust and missing the decompression lever so hoping I can just swap over a valve cover and then start on the other ones. 2 300s and 2 250s
Yeah, if you are checking value spacing you also need to go to tdc. It’s not just piston position it’s also valve position but for sure do at your own risk.
@@unprofessionallytrained3956No. Leaks are caused by contaminants and not winterizing the valves when there’s a freeze. Putting the valves that low on the ground defeats their purpose of preventing backsiphonage.
Makes sense. It doesn't really freeze here but we do have hard water. This is actually installed higher than the last person but I will raise them next time I have a problem
*Your welds are all textbook wire feed problems, but from BOTH the spool and liner:* *1. Cut two circles out of an old bleach bottle, one slightly smaller than the diameter of your wire spool, the other slightly larger than the diameter of the washer under your thumb screw that controls wire tension.* *2. Buy a new $15 gun liner.*
Might be why the welder was in a pawn shop? I made a temp fix by adding a second nut on the spool to control the tension. I think after this spool I'll only buy the big spools that snap onto the rotating spindle.
