I don't see why anyone would get mad at you own decide to turn a radio into a Bluetooth radio. It didn't impact them what so ever. An way I see it they have issues within there own self getting mad an upset at you doing something like that. An childish if ask me to act like that as an adult an inappropriate behavior of getting mad at you on something like that that does not impact them at all. They should look at it that this way Hi that's cool you ended up making a radio and did not have Bluetooth capable abilities whatsoever and turn it into a Bluetooth is very cool that you could do that an be able to achieve something like that That's awesome. Instead of being childish and inappropriate and being mad at you at something like that I have some issues within their self and they need to grow up and act more like an adult not like a kid would do. Dang people has issues. 🙄 An myself I think it's very cool that you're able to be able to accomplish something like that I think it's really neat and awesome. And should be very proud of yourself that you are able to achieve stuff like that has very good that you have them kind of capabilities and know how to be able to do these types of things and accomplishment. Be very proud of yourself overlook the haters the ones that wants to down you and discourage you of things that you know how to do that they probably don't know how I sure don't know how and I wished I did. But they're probably just jealous and they're just bashing you because they wish they could do what you could do. So walk tall walk proud and be very proud of yourself on the things that you are able to do and accomplish that I think is absolutely amazing that I wish I had the capabilities to do I think it's amazing that you were able to be able to do these types of things it's wonderful. 😋 ❓ I would love to ask you a question how would you and or if it is capable how can you take a 1980s floor model radio at still works and sounds very good is it a possibility and how would you go about it to be able to take the components from that radio and downsize it to a smaller one and still use both speakers okay smaller compact or radio than having a humongous bulky floor radio is it possibility to do this and how would you go about it and leaving everything still intact and make it a smaller one where it don't take up as much space if it is possible and you come across something like this if you do do this can you please tag me in so I will not miss this video cuz I would love to see how you would do it please by all means because I'm really wondering if it is possible if you end up doing this and take this on if you don't do this please tag me in the video cuz I would want to watch it most definitely Thank you because I think you would be able to do it much obliged you have a great day
I drive a older car, I use the phone as a GPS, it is also the radio. I do not have some huge infotainment screen in the center of the dash like a new car. The phone just acts like a radio. Play, Pause, Skip, Sound level up or Down and has the GPS Map on it. Seems we are going backwards, need a stand a lone GPS as the screen turns of on the phone after around 30 seconds aka no map or directions. I tap the phone to pause the music playback etc. Or my kid picks up the phone to to see what time it is etc. I get into the van put the phone in the holder. turn on the radio and go load up the map for some locations. I still not sure what all the icons mean too. I see a red circle with what I assume is a key in it. I would think this is a start and or stop etc. But this key shows up in the middle of the trip just in the middle of the street, no lights, no stop sign, no nothing, this is just my local neighbor hood street. 25mph and the Red Circle with the key just shows up in the middle of the trip. I never stopped, went faster or slower, turned around etc. this is just my local street no traffic 25mph or less. I also believe this slows down my phone. What used to be smooth use of apps in now jitter and jump, this is with my apps the track my walking and use GPS.
For the circular video I use OBS. There are tutorials on YT on how to do that. For the podcast I use Adobe Premiere, but Da Vinci Resolve is a great free option.
I don't drive alot. But just enough to get the discount at 30%. So every mile counts. I have found that if I make a stop that is a trip. Then if I drive somewhere else that was .8 miles and it won't count that trip. Even though USAA states that it won't count if a trip is under .25 miles it seems to not count if under 1 mile. From what I can tell is people are getting ripped off in mileage because it is only showing single digit miles as well. So if you drive 4.5 miles you are only getting credit for 4. I am tracking this like a hawk and it is a BS app. because every mile in my case counts since I don't drive alot. I also had 1 harsh braking I think it is. Hard to tell with this app. But I knew it was coming but was unjust. It took 25% of my score away!!!! App it not good.
There are different products that will add shine to your stone if you want it, but slate is not a naturally shiny material. A sealer soaks into the pores of the stone, whereas a varnish or polish would sit more on top.
Hello, so glad to have come across your channel. I am just wondering if you have the time to offer some assistance by answering some questions for me and if so, which would be the best method or avenue to take to get some assistance/answers. I appreciate ou taking the time to share and create the content you have and for sharing everything that you have learned within the last 3 years, therefore making the price for others to follow....thanks
Thank you. My brother passed away last year and my Dad has been wanting to wear some of his fitted hat but they are too big for him. I’m going to be doing this to all the hats, he had a lot. Thank you!!
@aniquinstark4347 probably did a quick google search to get the info they posted, but its totally inaccurate. Just use a polymeric gel boat paint, which is 100% inert. Nothing toxic about it at all. It also has a slippery surface that makes is easy to clean w/o abrasive cleaners.
As a person who possesses a freakishly large head I salute you for this tutorial. There have been countless hats that have been deep enough yet too small in circumstance. I've spent a small fortune buying hats that fit. Now I discover your technique to extend the snaps. I am humbled and in awe of your skills. My hat collection salutes you. Seriously, I feel bad I didn't think of this sooner. Thanks for the video.
Stupid app. I need to keep my truck running so that I can keep my wi-fi active. I can be totally out of my vehicle using the wifi on my phone. But, this stupid app says that I am handling my phone while driving. So stupid!
I love how this project turned out! I think the curtains were 1) a great solution to hiding and diffusing most of the strip lights 2) increased the realism of the window by adding a window treatment. I also appreciate the style + pattern + colors of the curtains you chose! You did an excellent job of explaining how to do this too! I bought 3 gothic arched faux window panels at the thrift store the other day (originally decor from Michael’s). The windows are on the smaller side but they’re heavy, and because of their shape and having a flat back I’ve been thinking “how am I gonna add wood to the back and insert a panel and lights into it without making this even heavier?” because as is they already need drywall anchoring. I don’t have any woodworking experience, but I watch all sorts of “maker” content on RU-vid, so your suggestion of using a router to create a space for the plexiglass and image + backing is genius! Not sure if I’m going to add a background image or not but I love how you made it interchangeable! That is way more appealing to me than being stuck with a single image I can never access again to change. Thank you for showing us how you did it, keep on doing you bud!! 🤘🩶
For others attempting to build this, take into consideration the density of LEDs on the light strip! I’ve been researching LED strip lights for my home and found out the higher the density, the easier it is to achieve a “spotless” effect. Having a diffusion layer of some sort between you and the LED strip would increase the spotless effect too. Setting them back deeper into the sides of the frame could also help. What I’d consider doing if I were updating this existing piece is see if I can get something like either white paper or a “frosted” plastic (My dollar store sells thin sheets as a cutting board surface, they come in handy for lots of craft projects!) and cut thin strips to cover the strip lights with. Those glue dots or double sided tape could work well to attach them too. Also what I found in my research is that the lifespan of LEDs is shortened if they’re mostly operating at or near full capacity when you’re using them, because of the heat they generate! Professionals recommend mounting LEDs using aluminum channels/housing, because the metal helps dissipate the heat. Just something to consider depending on the size of your project/application of LEDs! If you need a bigger picture printed and want to use a print shop or service, they will not print the image unless you have the right to reproduce it under copyright laws. So you have a couple options: look up royalty-free image websites, images in the public domain, or images with a Creative Commons license. Second choice is using websites out there that will help you format massive pictures to print from your home printer across several sheets of paper. The one website I decided on for a past project was called “rasterbator” (as in raster-based images, sorry for the inappropriate name) that worked quite well. I’m sorry I can’t remember what to succinctly call the process/service those websites provide. (Adjacently related: I recently found out that the Metropolitan Museum of Art has a filter on their website called “Open Access” that lets you search through their collections for works in the public domain, which are free to reproduce! If you want the look of a real oil painting, add a layer of Mod Podge on top to give it a brushstroke texture. Happy making!!)
Just had the same thing happen on my recording. My guests video just stopped uploading and now I only have the audio. And there's no reset, try again, reload recording button or anything so can't be that local recording if that keeps happening.
I've learned there is no local copy, so if the upload stops, you are out of luck. Recently had one where there was no video or audio uploaded for my guest even though the connection was fine. It just never uploaded at all. Now I screen record every interview as a backup while I look for a different solution.
@@thegreenworkbench thanks for this video though. I thought it just happened to me once off or that I did something wrong and was about to have a high profile guest on. Wasn’t worth it so I had to cancel/postpone the episode until I find something better.
dude, you say "selling point" and "you get what you paid for" but as you said it's completely free, no payment at all. If I use something completely free I don't expect any support.
This isn't freeware. This is a paid product with a limited free plan. The purpose of a free version of any software (that isn't specifically freeware) is to eventually upsell you to the paid version. But I will never upgrade until the bugs are worked out. So if they want to remain in business, they need to follow through with what they are offering, a working podcast solution with built-in support.
@@thegreenworkbench I do understand what you mean and pretty sure they'll improve. However I also tested it, it's not a limited free plan, it's just absolutely free. There are some limits, as per my test no money required at all.
Hi and thanks for your honest review. We're constantly working on improving the service and hope to get better everyday! We'd be happy to see you among our users. Let us know if you have any questions 😊
I hope to soon be able to update my review to report that the bugs have been worked out. When Waveroom works, it's great! But when it doesn't, it's catastrophic. I plan to keep using it for now and will just have a backup solution in place.
Thank you for sharing this, I was looking for something like this, neighbors have old fencing they need removed from their yard.... Now i can have planter beds with it!
I found out the hard way that even pulling over to take a call and leaving the phone connected to the hands-free mode dings you. If I can safely pull over, I turn the car off and take the call manually, then there's no ding. The harsh braking part has its own frustration. It really causes me to go through yellow lights to avoid the ding. If you're traveling the speed limit at 45 mph and a light turns yellow, braking for that light to avoid running it will get you a ding.
I did this with white epoxy I chose epoxy for these reasons 1) 95% less chemicals. 2) created a waterproof/ rust proof surface. 3) more heat efficiency.
Hey! I’m in the process of turning a feed trough into a tub. I’ve been going back and forth on paint options. Do you mind sharing what brand of paint you used? And how is it holding up so far?
Others may disagree, but I never stripped the old sealer. I resealed because the old sealer was pretty much gone. The slate is porous so the sealer I used didn't sit on top like a normal finish or polish. Once it dried, the slate looked the same or maybe a slim shade darker.
@@thegreenworkbench Thank you for answering. Im going crazy...Im an older woman trying to fix my mothers porch. She passed away and I moved into it. I sealed it im pretty sure with the wrong sealer..turned white hazy. It's never been sealed again..and it's scaling on some tiles. Im hoping to strip it off and reseal and be good and keep sealing once a year or less. I love your finish of the slate..so shiny. Looked into the Dupont sealer and only Lowes carry it. Thank you so very much.
Please advise: I can create audio readings, number them, and play them in Windows media player. Sell on my website. What do you think, would customers have any interest in such a audio option?
You can always try it and see if your audience is interested in that format. Most people listen to books on a phone and prefer files that will autoplay one after another and save your spot. Music players don't tend to do that well. And people like things to "just work." But again, you never know unless you try.
@@thegreenworkbench Very good point. As far as I know most phones have mp3 players, but I don't think a mp3 player can 'bookmark' where you are in a longer story. That would be a pain, trying to scan to chapter 14. I have very, very limited funds. I agree with you completely, some sort of audio book should be done. Confession; I'm lost. :)
Cool idea! I am considering similar project, sort of working in reverse from where you started. I have raspberry pi computers hooked up to speakers in various rooms around the house. I would prefer them to be enclosed in more elegant looking speaker boxes instead of looking like random electronic junk, so now I'm on the hunt for antique speaker things that I can use for this purpose.
Your overview of writing software was cool. I honestly think your advice toward the end was actually more valuable to a new writer. You did a great presentation here!
