love the 'i'm not upset' - me on every project i've ever done...

@thecraftingbrothers9448 3 года назад

Yeah, I try not to take things too seriously... It's OK to mess up

Nice build. Your presentation is clearer than many, I've seen. 👍 I really like the fact the switch kills both sides of the wiring; mo' safety is mo' bettah. Glad to know I'm not the only one to get "Kill It with Fire!" angry at my mistakes 😅

@thecraftingbrothers9448 3 года назад

Mo' bettah for sure! Glad you liked the video, this table has worked out great for me👍

This would be the instructions I would follow if I didn't already have a proxxon!

Can always apply heat with a heat gun or a propane torch to warm up any metal before bending it. Makes the labor a bit easier.

@larryelliott149 3 года назад

Have to agree with other posts you’ve made it simple as compared to many others that I have looked at but then you turned around and provide sources for the parts...... Can’t get any easier.

@thecraftingbrothers9448 3 года назад

Glad to hear that and thanks for the comment!

@mrfriedpickle7495 3 года назад

Thank you alot, I'm building one of these but the parts you use are more recognizable to me than the ones in lukes video so this made it simpler for me!

@@thecraftingbrothers9448 I just have a question I have a 5v 3a power cable and I want to use the same dimmer as you does it work since it's 12v 8a?

@mrfriedpickle7495 3 года назад

@@thecraftingbrothers9448 Or do I need a controller or is it enough with an on/off switch?

@thecraftingbrothers9448 3 года назад

@@mrfriedpickle7495 Not really sure... you can try it and perhaps all you need to do is turn down the dimmer switch to avoid burning out the wire.

@briandellinger8235 5 месяцев назад

Maybe this is a stupid question - how dangerous is it to have the current running up through the zinc bar? Like, obviously you don't want to touch the wire itself; how bad is accidentally touching the bar while the power is on?

@TimKapow 4 года назад

Very cool! Going to need to build one too! The Proxxon is extremely expensive in South Africa!

@thecraftingbrothers9448 3 года назад

Yeah, I though I was going to need to buy one but this wire cutter is all I've needed. Thanks for the comment

@@thecraftingbrothers9448 I appreciate when fellow crafters show ways to alleviate the expenses involved in this hobby. We craft to make unique items as well as to save some cash on resin or other produced pieces. Been enjoying your guys channel, keep up the great work!

Agreed! Thank you... I'm happy to share the info and learn from other crafters in the process👍

Confused about the sloped ripping board. I understand if the slope could be adjusted.

@gladiatormechs5574 10 месяцев назад

does it have to be a thin wire, can i use a hack saw blade as my cutter or is that to must resistence to get hot ?

@PeterJames143 2 года назад

nice work.

@Theexplorographer 3 года назад

10:18 is there some reason why you wouldn't just notch the Zinc bar instead of epoxying a nail and going through all that mess? Seems like it would make a better electrical contact as well.

@thecraftingbrothers9448 3 года назад

Hi, that is a great question and the answer is yes, you can absolutely cut a notch instead of using a nail in the end. Just make sure the loop on the end of the spring fits on the Zinc bar and that should work perfectly. Good luck, I use mine almost every day!

@rahuulmesh1020 2 года назад

Sir i am from India plz sir I request you that you make this video by using transformer instead of power adapter and than make a video for the poor guy like me 🙏🙏🙏 because in India there is very costly for this product ur work is very good so help us make video sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏 help us 😭😭😭😭

@thecraftingbrothers9448 2 года назад

Thank you for watching... I had no idea the cost for you would be so high in India! I'll see if I can find an alternative power source for you to use. I'll be in touch.

Yes, 12v is what you're looking for. Here's the link on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G5BQGYD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@mrfriedpickle7495 3 года назад

Is it possible to make this without the dimmer switch?

@thecraftingbrothers9448 3 года назад

You really need that to control the heat of the cutting wire. Without it, you will most likely burn the wire out every time. Also, you will want to control temperature for cutting thick foam vs. thin.
