Sand has been around, wood has been around,Jack has been around.....it's nice to see that they got together one day. Love the concept . Merci beaucoup. Now lets make a larger size...." car crusher ".
Brilliant! You've solved the problem of having to watch an hourglass, waiting, waiting, waiting for it to empty out. Now, with a little calibration, you can tune that to be a 2 minute timer with an AUDIBLE marker to indicate the time, or a 5 minute timer, or whatever lengths of time you find yourself timing on a recurring basis. Best of all? NO ELECTRICITY!! Way to go Jack! You've done it again. May your shop be filled with chips and sawdust all year long, - Jim “Mr. Measure Twice” Marchetti PS - Happy New Year to you!!!
I was going to sat the same thing. Also, for people that can't hear, just put this thing in your peripheral vision while you work on whatever, and it will get your attention quite clearly when it falls. This would sell.
This is an engine. Does it work with water? Excellent video! Milkovic invented a pendulum powered water pump. LOL! Now with your invention one doesn't even have to push the pendulum!
U are a genius, I never thought of such a brilliant simple Idea that solves the issue of checking if it is time to flip over. You could have solved the problem of Longitude calculation and win the price without having to invent the crono-meter of harrison! THIS IS AMAZING, did you invent yourself ?
I've used a nail as a drill bit in the past so not a bit surprised your wire worked. I might have to design this for 3d printing as well if that's ok. Thanks Jack
Great vid once again. Although I probably won't make the timer myself, watching as you make it perfectly is just so cool ,calming and satisfying.Happy New Years and hope you had a Merry Christmas also.
Jack H - Very good idea and build as usual. That will jolt you out of the daydream or your over focused work spell. But what of the unaware poor little cat or dog's tail laying in the way when that goes "bang!" - so I suggest it needs a little integrated safety fence that the clock tower falls into and that could be tricky to engineer.
Rather than drilling a hole, I wonder if it would have been easier just to cut a narrow channel in the surface which will be against the plexiglass? That way you could watch the sand running through it too.
Hi I have question please can you tell me which store you bought a jig cutting circles I saw your video you used that jig if you can just tell me I want to buy?
Of the end of France ( creutzwald ) where I you written, my wishes for new year of 2018 hoping that English is correct That these few affectionate words Present you my best wishes Best wishes sent to heavens So that every you are happy Moins RÉPONDRE
Jack Houweling - I'm very sorry to hear that Jack. Best wishes for all. Keep in mind that we all miss you here. Thanks for everything you do and for all the inspiration.
