Why did you cut the bottle for the paint? That isn't the hack they showed. An intact bottle helps regulate the paint flow, and allows you to squeeze the bottle if you need more than flows naturally. And with it closed, you can tilt the brush at ANY angle without the paint spilling. Dude you made it WAY harder than it had to be. And HOT glue would have been the best type of glue to use I think. It sticks to pretty much everything, and can easily form an airtight seal.
thats only because the bottle is solid and creates a vacuum on the inside. he used a bottle cut in half so there as no vacuum in there and flows out by itself
Anybody who has understands basic fluid dynamics and/or has done much painting would recognize this wasn’t going to work. Most tik tok tricks are worthless scams.
@@jasonandersen5975 Anyone who has ever assembled a paintbrush would recognize that the brush idea was complete bs. No scratch that. Anyone who has ever observed the effects of _gravity_ would know that. I find it surprising that it has to be pointed out. There are two outcomes depending on the brush construction and how far you go. Option 1 is you fake it by either not drilling all the way through or by drilling a tiny weep hole if there's room in the center. Either way, it's not functional, so you just fake the video and run with it. It's a viral life hack video. The default presumption should always be that it's misleading or otherwise exploitative. Option 2 is you bore it out big enough to feed paint. The result is that you destroy the brush, and you now have no control over the flow. You can't paint out of position, and you need to constantly stop to use a funnel to fill the bottle. It would be an impractical, uncontrollable mess that wastes more time and paint than alternatives which are simpler, cheaper, and don't require extra tools or the destruction of a good brush.
If you cut the back off you don't have to squeeze it for any liquid to fall through, he just needed more paint to create the force needed. Either way it still isn't better than using it regularly.🤷♂️
Yeah I i die a little inside whenever someone uses expensive hardwood for some throwaway project. I use pine anytime I'm doing something for the first time, or for a jig or something. No way an I using my precious (walnut) for that.
@@andrewupson2987 If you find someone local that runs a mill at their own place, not a mobile one. You can get the end cuts and the crappy stuff for next to nothing. I have seen builds where people with time on their hands have made some nice stuff with it. Most of it is smaller 1x4 stuff after you resaw it. The guy I know built a gang saw to cut the wood to size then he runs them in a planer. I just by him self he can process a few hundred boards after driving 2 hours round trip to pick up a bunk of it. There is just so much wasted wood that come out of the saw mills.
For those wondering the woman was making a Swedish torch you drill a hole in the centre (and if memory serves one from the side) of a log and light a fire in the centre it slowly burns it way out and in cold snowy conditions its not in the wet ground plus you can sit pots and pans on top
Another method is split the log into quarters lengthwise, cut a chunk out of the bottom of one quarter (to allow airflow) and cut the inside wedge out of all the quarters lengthwise to make the hollow cavity in the middle. Use some wire or similar to wrap around the log, then light it. This is if you only have an axe or machete and not a drill bit like the lady in the video...had to rewatch that like 6 times before I noticed she even had that 😆
Take the two contrasting wood pieces and laminate them together temporarily with a pinner. Scroll saw the pattern through both simultaneously. You’ll have two sets which fit together. Maybe a little loose due to saw kerf, but still it should work.
You definitely didn’t do the paint brush one correct. The bottle top was a squeeze top. Fill the bottle with paint and twist it back on. Then squeeze the bottle to get the paint to flow.
The puzzle wood hack was actually temporarily attaching the two pieces on top of each other, with a layer of tape on each side and glued between, like a sandwich. Then you cut the shape you want and you have two identical halves of each side of the shape... One of each wood. Detach them, remove glued tape, and put one of each side together again like a puzzle.
4:16 that’s why they didn’t cut the bottle. You squeeze the bottle so the paint comes out. Same as you drink out of it, you suck it out or you squeeze it out. You didn’t have a closed container so the only way it would work right now is when you drill a (tiny) hole in the bottle cap so the paint drizzles out of it and gives you a continues flow. But if you do that the paint wouldn’t stop coming out of the bottle. So please try this again with a bottle that isn’t cut in half 😃
The thing I love most about these videos is John watches the videos, then promptly half asses whatever process they describe, like every time! The reason I love that is because first, it’s funny as hell to see him question the video even if he didn’t actually do what they do, and second, it’s exactly what I would do so it’s very relatable.
1) Could have squeezed it if it was an entire bottle 2) Dip brush in paint to get it started, it's only supposed to keep feeding paint 3) A paint brush is supposed to be saturated with paint, the paint is supposed to come from the inside cavity when you brush...
For the melty-wood without a CNC, I'd guess a scroll-saw for cutting out a template (1/4" ply?) then use that to rout positive/negative templates offsetting half of the kerf of the flush trim bit, then use those and the same flush trim bit to rout the pieces. Will mean there's a minimum radius for the curves in the design but should leave no gaps. That surfacing-bit-router-plane is awesome, I'm going to build one! And, yes, I know what a Balchinian is. This is a silly little planet. Anyone could take over the place with the right set of mammary glands.
You can do things with less extreme curves on a bandsaw by taping both pieces together, and cutting them at the same time. You then get two mating boards with negative images.
The scroll saw would've been perfect ... just layer the two pieces together, cut along the line once and now you have two sets of the joint, one the mirror image (dark/light or light/dark) of the other ... if you use a fine enough blade then no sanding required either!!
The 'running paint' joint would likely be a lot easier using inlay techniques. Cut both boards together on a scroll saw with the table at a very slight angle so they join tightly.
There really is no way to not botch it it's a dumb idea to solve what is honestly not even a problem it's not that tedious to just dip a brush in paint even if it worked perfectly as advertised it's a dumb hack
@@richardhinton4232it is dumb and for a problem that doesn't exist but he messed up by cutting the bottle with the whole bottle you would squeeze it and the paint would come out
@@lordquenntillieusiii9250exactly, by cutting the bottle, he created a massive hole for make up air, and basically the paint flowed freely. Not sure how he didn’t get that. People need to think like pouring a gas can and popping the tab on top, or draining your oil and pulling the dipstick.
For the first one why did you cut the bottle, my guess is that he would occasionally squeeze it to get the paint out as he needed it. gravity, as you so eloquently proved, wouldn't work.
exactly my thoughts, John messed up following crucial rules so bad this time. but anyway, the "hack" is unpractical, mostly for cleaning reasons. I do use paints and brushes very often, the good old technique is proven by centuries to be the best.
I agree that leaving the bottle whole has a lot of benefits - including not spilling your paint! However, I have another idea for how the paint might be drawn out of the resevoir - you might have to dip the paint brush once to get yourself started. Many liquids, once saturating something like a sponge or brush, will pull out more from a reservoir, once saturated, creating a steady stream. I think it might be called capillary action? This is not to say this is necessarily guaranteed to work, or that it's a great idea - just that the results in the original video *may* be duplicate-able without "cheating" per-se.
For the drip boards, it would take a bit, but you could tape the 2 boards together and run them through a scroll saw. Take your time and you could probably end up with 2 boards instead of 1.
@@famousamoso7 how do you figure? If I have a board and make the drips by running it through a scroll saw, I now have we’ll say a left and a right to that board. Left and right fit together because they only have one path cut through them. Now, take what we just learned and secure a second piece to that board and run it through the scroll saw. We now have 2 lefts and 2 rights. Put left 1 with right 2 and left 2 with right 1.
Now, I am even more impressed by your OTHER videos! How do you create beautiful and functional furniture while obviously not knowing how physics work? This nozzle with a cut in half bottle cannot work!
Yes but he is starting with imperial measurements so everything is harder. He needs to go metric, and use the extra brain power thinking through the job.
It doesn't matter if the bottle is cut or not. You have to suck to make liquid go through. You wouldn't want to sit there and squeeze the bottle. He should have used an entirely different cap
Tip for your brushes.. when you finish painting metal or whatever just put them in a cup of diesel fuel and just leave it in for days,weeks,months... diesel desolves paint and it doesn't evaporate.. when you want to use it again just shake off the diesel from the brush and try drying it.. best solution is give it a blow with compressed air.. it's so clean you can even use white paint even if you last used black... i use the same paint brushes for years😂
I used a full-size router, and the biggest flat-bottom bit I had (never heard of a fly cutter bit before today!), and the wood base was a long bridge, twice the width of the work that needed flattening. I put flat parallel wood strips on either side of the work that were taller than the work was thick; this let the bridge ride above the surface of the work. I lowered the bit to touch, and ran it over the work. Rather than a plane that glides over the work itself, this sat on the strips, above the work. The only difficult part is making the bridge stiff enough so it doesn't sag.
probably an easier way to do that wood ooze art thingy would have been to bolt the light and dark panels on top of each other. Carve out w/e ooze line you want across both of them. Unbolt it, slice off the bolt location, then the opposite parts of the top and bottom should fit together perfect, and you would have 2 sculptures to boot.
John: 'Because I want to make it look pretty' Also John: mounts it with two ugly screws right thru the face. 🙃 Btw, the dove tail bench would look so dope, if you make the legs out of concrete.
I hope you are already working on a sweet video when you hit a million subs man! You're so close!!! One if the absolute best personalities in the woodworking community. Thank you and keep 'em coming.
While I’m not a perfect turner or sharpener, I’m happy to record the easiest way I’ve found. If you want to make more of these, I’ll make the handle knobs to trade for a sled. This is such a great idea!
For the drippy wood, it may be easier to tape the two pieces one on top of the other and make the cut through both of them. Should fit perfectly and you end up with two of them.
I would love to see the Brush hack without the bottle cut in half :P you should use the pressure force inside the bottle to put pain in the brushes itself ;) nice video

John, sorry to say mate, the channel is worse for the loss of Sam and Jordan. You are the same, but the video atmosphere is awkward, and not as cohesive. I don't know what the answer is, but their presence is missed each video
@@DarkWidget AFAIK they both moved on to different careers. Sam first, then Jordan. There one video, gone the next. Unsure why. , It feels like John is trying to recreate the exact same vibe with new people, and it stands out a mile.
@@Vanjonsorz personally i recently found the channel, so I don't really have the same ties you probably do. Though personally I haven't noticed a huge difference other than the absence
Here´s a tip that actually works; when you are pouring paint from a bigger paint can, you take mascing tape and make a "v" pattern on the edge of the can. The "v" should be half an inch from the edge of the can. When you pour, the paint makes a narrow stream and is much more accurate and easy to control. After the pour, take away the tape and there is no paint on the can (or the floor), only on the tape.
Great fun. 😊 For the coat rack, all you had to do was add another piece the same thickness to the back across the bottom for the hooks to rest against. Even with the thinner backing it would probably work and look better.
@@gugugaga1460 Case in point: literally using boomer wrong, again, thinking you’re slick, when all you’ve done is validate Esther’s argument. Christ, it’s like you’re trying to make yourself look bad.
The paintbrush, they used a step a bit because they needed to be a cone shape But also don't forget you put on a squeeze top from the Water bottle. Therefore you need to squeeze the bottle. If you didn't cut the bottle, you could have put the paint in the bottle, put it on squeezed the bottle each time you need it to refill the paintbrush
the thicknesser/planer was great, but i gotta admit, i love making unusual jigs for my router. edit: gotta add a BIG ol' thumbs up for "i hate jigsaws." 👍
1. The water bottle had a valve in the tip, when you cut the bottle you lost the ability to actuate the valve by squeezing the bottle. also sand the bottle tip so you have enough tooth for the glue to adhere to.
