I really appreciate the humour!!! Great design gives me a lot of ideas! Once the weather heats up a bit I HAVE to try to make a little storage container with this design!
Genius as usual 👌🏻♥️. I love it. Recreating this without a cnc will be so tidieus and difficult as it looks like you need to be precise with certain cuts. Still definitely have to try to make this. I know the perfect thing to store in it too 👌🏻🤞🏻
The only suggestion I have about the two ends when making the "walls" is you cut one end at something like 45 degrees. Then when you loop it back around onto itself, it would allow the outer "skin" to meet and not leave a gap.
Now I'm not the kind of guy that going to tell someone about safety. I'm gonna be completely honest you had me a bit worried with the drill bit on your sled to make the round cut... But you pulled it off like a pro and it was a brilliant idea and I loved how well it worked out. I too sometimes have to "re-invent the wheel" or make a tool just for the job. Great work man.
2:56 so you don't get that gap: Take the two ends and put them over a scrap of wood placed overhung your table, make sure they're really close, then use a stapler to staple the two ends together, then use tape. Perfect edge every time + the staples will allow it to have a natural curve, like the rest of the face. This method is extremely effective when the piece you're making is tall. Source: i made a couple of cylinder shaped stools using this method.
I sure like what you did!!! I appears some of the most complicated routing procedures were skipped. Are these procedures in any of you other videos? I would like to see them!
Wow, I was just working on a virtually identical mechanism the other day, only much smaller, to use as an adjustable wrench. This will actually help a lot in refining my design, so thank you very much for sharing!
@@CONEHEADDK How's that? Either way, I don't care that much. I've come to dislike the concept of patents, as they are just as often used to prevent things from being made as they are to protect intellectual property. A company specializing in the production of palliative remedies for cancer patients could discover a cure, then patent it and sit on the patent doing nothing, because they make more money selling painkillers and the like. Probably wouldn't happen, but I've definitely heard of big companies patenting new inventions just to keep them off the market and prevent competition with their mainstay products. I'd certainly *like* to make money off of my ideas, but if I don't have the power to bring them to market, I'd sooner see *someone* do it than to simply keep them hidden away out of spite.
@@hollt693 I don't think, "the level of invention" (translating "opfinderhøjde" from danish, my language) is high enough, compared to existing products or functions. And nothing that has been in the public domain, can be patented. I've seen the same closing mechanisme other places - fx in the chuck holder of my threading tool kit. I agree with your thoughts on patents in general - but I don't see, how else it can be done, if we want companies/people to invest time and money in solving problems. I also know, that some companies have "patent crushers" - laywers or whatever, that look for holes in the patent, that they can try to use, to get around the protection. In Denmark the saying is, "2 years after getting the patent, the inventor has lost his house, wife and the company".. I'd still go for one, if the product was worth the investment, if not for anything else, the marketing and to keep away the small fish - or to be able to sell it to the big fish, cheaper than their crushers and laywers can steal it from me.. I'd rather have half the value than none..
@@CONEHEADDK Funny you should mention your threading tool kit. Although I described my idea as an adjustable wrench, the specific use I had in mind was for securely gripping hexagonal (as opposed to round) threading dies, since none of the handles I've seen seem to be sufficient. Is the "chuck holder" you're describing an 'adjustable tap wrench'? (I'm sorry I wasn't able to find the proper Danish term for the tool, and I don't trust Google Translate to get it right.) I've never seen a wrench/tool holder that uses a mechanism quite like the one in the video, but if you could point me to such a thing, I'd be grateful.
