Love this book! ru-vid.comUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
I like your videos, but this one I really like because I can use one of these in my house. I have tons of assholes that come in and out of my house and just lay their crap all over the floor. This is a great way to say "see that on the wall? hang your crap up or I am going to throw it in the burn pile." Nicely done.
Could probably use a clear coat over the copper to lock in the shiny look, but I like the execution. The little shim to fix the router goof worked really well.
@@ModernBuilds Paste wax would probably work, but it's not very durable. It'll rub off with use. I'm not an expert on this, but I've used a nitrocellulose based lacquer on brass, and I think it should work on any copper or copper based alloy. Still not epoxy-strong, but if you're not hanging metal keychains or something that'll scratch on it, should last you a lot longer than wax.
i dont like any of it......this was a total waste of my time to watch. sad what people are doing to there channel now, more and more people are going down hill now, if this keeps up i will unsubscribe. this is something you make in highschool tech ed class. a let down.
Interesting project. Did you consider any options for trying to hide the wire for the light more? You mentioned that you really like the color, but I'd imagine that having it hanging down like that to an outlet would sometimes get in the way. If I built something similar, I may have continued the copper pipe back to be flush with the wall, and all the way down to just a few inches away from the socket. Overall, nice work!
@@ModernBuilds FYI brush some of the H2O flux on the pipe while its hot, it instantly cleans up the brown stains, then wipe off with a damp cloth. I prefer to use the Oatey 93 flux with solder particles in it, works a lot better, then brush with H2O and makes for a really clean joint.
I don’t know if those mapp gas tanks are real mapp gas anymore. Some old guy told me they aren’t the same anymore due to new regulations. I’m not sure what they are now. I still use it on rusty bolts.
Hugh Jafro "MAPP gas" is a trademarked name, belonging to The Linde Group, and previously belonging to the Dow Chemical Company, for a fuel gas based on a stabilized mixture of methylacetylene (propyne) and propadiene. The name comes from the original chemical composition, methylacetylene-propadiene propane. "MAPP gas" is also widely used as a generic name for UN 1060 stabilised methylacetylene-propadiene (unstabilised methylacetylene-propadiene is known as MAPD). MAPP gas is widely regarded as a safer and easier-to-use substitute for acetylene. In early 2008, true MAPP gas production ended in North America when production was discontinued at the only remaining plant in North America that still manufactured it. However, many current products labeled "MAPP" are, in fact, MAPP substitutes. These versions are composed almost entirely of propylene with minuscule impurities of propane (
Since I read “Bαzοmο Tdy Plαn” (Google it), I do think nothing will ever surpass it as a great woodworking book. The text is simple to read and the photos and drawings exceptional. This is a “must have” woodworking book simply because everything you should learn about wood working is found here and it really guides you throughout the topic well. .
Meus amigos, só não ganha DINHEIRO e tem uma vida melhor quem não quer! Com esses super vídeos, pode-se copiar e vender estas lindas idéias! PARABÉNS!!!
Nice work! One thing to point out on the router direction is if the piece is directly in front of you, it's best to move the router from left to right. You were doing it correctly but you were behind the piece so you were saying right to left (which is the same the other way). Always best to look at the arrow that is on your router base as it spins clockwise.
Mike, so glad I came across your channel a while back. I love every build you've ever made. Plus, your personality fits in great with your builds!!! Keep up the great work, and until the next one, Dirty Jersey out!!!!
Electrically, the copper pipe for the lamp should be grounded (not connected to the neutral). Went by pretty quick, but it didn't look like this was done. Also, the wire exiting the pipe should have a stress release piece of plastic.
Lol what are talking about the routing direction? It’s completely opposite - you always should route from left to right in such a situation. You route from right to left if you route inside the frame, for example.
Nice project but I have mixed feelings about the lamp and cord, kinda looks like it’s unfinished. I’m not sure what else could have been done?? Maybe going all the way to the floor with the copper pipe into a circular oak base, just saying? Thanks for taking the time to make this video !!
Reasonably good, but the exposed plywood is distracting. Also you could round the edges to soften the overall look. It resembles a high school project from scrap wood. Not the best caliber.
I’ve noticed a lot of you makers are using insulation boards as cutting mats. Really smart, I’m always trying to work around the edge of my bench. But is it safe? Does it itch or anything?
You won't feel any itch from the foam boards. It is safe, but maybe consider a mask depending on the dust it may kick up. With that said, my dad has been a builder for 20+ years and it makes him cringe to see everyone using these foam boards this way. He says that cutting insulation kills a sharp edge. You can test this with an exacto knife. After a few cuts the blade will be junk. While I can't find anything online supporting this, in his experience (and mine too) this is the case. YOu'd be better off just blocjing up the piece you wnt to cut with some 2x4s and cutting through. A sharp blade is not to be taken for granted!
bro I like the tradecraft/tips in your vids, and your content editing is top-shelf, but I'm starting to think that your definition of the word 'modern' just means made out of plywood with few finishing accents. What adjective would you choose to describe the Glenn's builds over at DIY Creators? (not a criticism, just curious (I thumbs-up'ed the vid :)))
shelf look okay in my option...i don't like the pipes as a hook? maybe a steal hook would be nice? light build should be a bite bigger with more lighting? cable light should be gone?i like daffy duck..
I like the design. i think I would change it up a little. I would not put in the lamp, but maybe a box and hooks for more keys or storage. I would have to edge band the plywood, but I think that is more of a taste thing. Still a great setup.
Hi just wondering did you do education where you learned everything you know about how to make stuff and if you did what did you study exactly and what grades did you need ?
Mike, I've been a woodworker for many years. A little tip when using a chisel. grab it closer to the end edge and sharpen it. a good chisel wont need much hammering at all.
i like the idea, but here is what i would of done different, add edge banding and also make the lamp foot loger to the ground an get the cable out at the lowest point
The floating shelf was awesome idea to put in the entryway and the 💡 light shades is good but the exposed wire is bothering me (its eyesore). It would be nice to hide the wiring. The copper pipe of the lamp should be shorter or level to the plywood & the wiring is not hangout. In my opinion ✌🏻
Nice fist time soldering, as a tip clean the area that you apply flux with steel wool to remove any dirt and debris, that will help the solder run even better and creates a better joint👍🏼
not sure if it was already said, but when running your router along a guide it is best not to use the flat spot on your router even though it seems to make sense. if the router tilts away from the straight edge even a tiny bit it will change the distance of your bit to the straight edge and you will not get a good dado. Use the round edge and everywhere along the curve will be the same distance to the bit. Also you need to Center your base to the bit and not assume that it comes from the factory that way. Almost every router manufacturer makes a jig for doing this, it is basically a cone that mounts in the collet and helps you adjust your base to be on center.
