This channel is part "how-to" - I share tips and tricks to help makers up their game. But more so, it's a "why not" - as in why not build an elaborate, working chainsaw prop for my son this Halloween?!
You don't have to be a maker to enjoy my channel. I combine many things - science, design, engineering - and lots of creating. Besides film-inspired props, I also make contraptions for my shop like jigs, storage, and other DIY stuff. Best of all, I like to push the limits of what I can do, often experimenting with new techniques and tools.
The goal is to teach, entertain, and - most of all - have fun.
Let's make!

That's a nifty little planer, too. I've owned one since 2003. Punches waaay above its class, I can promise tou that. The shavings make excellent campfire tinder.
Hi sir I’m having a bit of a problem I have a 420 cc motor for go kart On side was wires for low oil pressure I removed the whole seems to be 716 So I get a tap of 7/16 -20 and start to tap hole seems to work a lil but over all not working out rite ? What am i doing wrong
I have a #61-80 set and the only use I have found for them so far is checking the size of bleed ports and metering jets on aircraft carburetors (aircraft mechanic).
sooooo.... what if (That used to be a very, very old slogan of Hewlett Packard, like circa 1988...), yea so, what if I first sand it with 1000 graduate through 1500, 2000, to 3000. I'm not looking for a mirror finish, but heck, how about satiny finish....
One thing you missed in the very end, you don't need the specialised uncure. CA glues let go almost instantly when exposed to acetone, so most nail polish removers will also work. :)
I could never imagine using a table saw without a riving knife. It drastically increases the danger of cutting for me. Do you have the ¼-20 hole underneath the insert plate where the original knife was mounted? It might be worth trying to make an aluminum angle riving knife or short splitter in there somehow. I got lucky, and my blade alignment is a hair under .001" on my saw.. and even with that, I've had riving knives save me many a time (and i use one-way roller hold downs, as well as one-way roller type featherboards. I can't afford to take any chances.
Is that the 315? I just got the 315.228310, brand new, for $50. But no fence rails. It has the new dust cover riving knife (but i removed the cover part and kept the knife. But its aggravating so im looking for a better way. However, I'm not a fan of splitters... so i might nake my own dust cover that mounts to the single ¼-20 under the plate. With that said, im liking the aluminum aspect. I really like the version from Infinity... but its ½ the price I paid for a new fence/rails lol... so its not easy to pull the trigger and buy one.
Instead of manually eyeballing the tap straight, a lot of taps have a hole at the top, you can put a pin in the chuck of your drill press and center up on the tap for a guaranteed straight hole
my friend congrats for all you are doing you are very clever you help many people i wish you always well. if it is easy for you can you tell me how to find this round with the spring and what is its name thanks Spyros !!!👍
Do not underestimate the value of a full face shield if you are cutting up lots of metal. I once had a cutoff disc break and it embedded a shard of blade halfway through my face shield. If i hadnt been wearing it, id have a lot less lip than i do now.
I'm going to be a comment hog. I'm paying more attention to your video now and realizing that I have the exact same Dremel yes it's about 25 years old I'd say . I changed the brushes I didn't even know brushes existed in this thing. It's always good to have a friend that lives up north and they have to depend on themselves to fix things so he told me about the brushes and I changed them in the Dremel was back to his old self but you mentioned a coupling I'm going to be dumb here and admit that I don't know what that is and could you please tell me in a comment❤
Ohhhhh I just bought that exact plastic organizer thanks for the idea. I bought it at the dollar store but they run out quickly so if you ever see one get two
What a fantastic hack! I was ready to order the shop vac floor attachment from Amazon and then remembered I might have one in my shop that's not being used. Sure enough I had one! I used two self tapping screws rather than the drilled/tapped approach in the video. Works like a charm.
Activator does NOT make the bond stronger. It makes it weaker, but it sets much faster. The strongest bond is to use no activator, but takes much longer to cure.
