Also thanks to Marcos and Trevor for helping me make the scissors, and for Scott for helping filming, and to JACKIE GRIEFF FOR HELPING ME EDIT THIS VIDEO! New person, new person! Welcome onboard Jackie.
And last, but not least: thanks to Lincoln Electric for sending me a welder and a plasma cutter! PROBABLY UNCALLED FOR DISCLAIMER: I'm not sponsored by Lincoln, but they did send me the stuff for free. ANOTHER UNCALLED FOR DISCLAIMER: I thoroughly want to befriend all their employees, because they are very kind and funny.

@@jensimaster She could use an inverter on the Tesla though the 12V DC to DC convertor in the car would be a limiting factor probably could get 2 or 3KW out of it for a short time if everything else in the car was turned off. There's also tapping into the HV DC directly from the battery and you have hundreds of KW to play with but that's really dangerous.

I don't know If you tried this, but scissors don't have straight blades. The shears curve inward towards each other creating a pinch point that moves forward as you close them. This eliminates slop and negates the need to have perfectly matching edges. You can see it if you align the cut with a light source and close them slowly. So maybe curving the shears a bit inwards may help.

@spacemansabs
@spacemansabs 5 лет назад
Scissors aren’t flat. They have curved faces so there is always tension and they always make contact with each blade at a point that moves down the blade as you cut. So if you can put a small curve on each blade it will work, but not so much that you can’t overcome the bend when you close them. And since they are 1/2 in thick steel, the problem is that you won’t be strong enough to open or close them maybe. Unless you build a hydraulic piston hand, which you should do.
@XerxesGustav
@XerxesGustav 5 лет назад
Or just have a wave spring washer at the center, so the deflection is not in the blade but in the joint
@johnrogers1777

I was thinking the same thing and as a blacksmith of course I want fire fire fire so heat the inside of each blade with big OxyPropane rosebud (maybe just a couple hundred degrees, and then hit it with a hose and it'll warp into a nice curve. Or hydraulic press, cuz we all know life is better with hydraulics,,, but then again fire FIRE FIRE!!

@NOLAMarathon2010
@NOLAMarathon2010 5 лет назад
With a pair of scissors -- real scissors -- the two blades are actually slightly curved toward each other. This ensures that the two shearing edges actually make contact with each other down the full length of the cut. If your two shearing edges are separated by a hair's breadth, that will probably be enough to prevent a shear. Even if your two shearing edges have contact initially, but lose that contact later during the shear, then the complete shear down the full length of the paper will fail. That's why the two blades are bent slightly toward each other: it guarantees blade-against-blade contact down the full length of the shear.

A few folks have mentioned the curvature of scissor blades, but also a large aspect of how they work is the left/right pressure of your fingers, which is why there are lefty and righty scissors, even though they basically look the same. The natural way your hand closes the grips is what pushes the blades together. Maybe you can sell or donate these to a salon as a decoration!

Don't the blades on scissors bend towards each other slightly so that they are only in contact at one small point along the blade for the entire cut? Try bending the blades a bit and see if having them somewhat bowed inwards doesn't improve the cutting ability. Thumbs up so she sees this!

Came here to say this. A simple curved jig and some G-clamps should do the trick. Then we can cut ALL THE HAIR!
@KiLL_Jack
@KiLL_Jack 5 лет назад
yeah that is what i thought too but bending this thick metal sheet would be really hard with somewhat limited tools and actually cutting with them would need big force and proably the edge would get blunt quickly, i think its better to keep it nice and nonfunctional

Great project! Standard-size scissors have a slight curvature in the blades to force the cutting edges together. Yours might cut better if you replicated that feature. The video was fun to watch - is this the director's cut?

Omg that LITERALLY happened to me TODAY. I moved countries and didn't bring anything with me other than my clothes and toiletries. I rented a completely empty apartment (not even a fridge, nothing) and had to furnish it from scratch. Naturally, I bought a lot of things, like tools and kitchen utensils, that came in tightly sealed packages, so I also bought scissors. I had to ask my neighbor, whom I hadn't met yet, for her scissors in order to open my own scissors. The new scissors even had a "cut through here WITH SCISSORS to open" little icon on the package. Ridiculous! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Simone, Sharpening scissors is a next level skill that even most knife makers do not have. The two inside surfaces must be super flat and in direct contact with each other. This is just as important as the edge of each blade being sharp itself.
