Ah the 1-2-3 block, an essential part of every sewing setup!

I gotta say using a 1-2-3 block for a weight on a sewing project is creative...

My mom has been sewing for as long as I can remember. I had to "learn" sewing back in 8th grade. It even helped me while I was in the USAF a few times, It's a good skill to have.

Good job, James. If the loose fit continues to give you problems you might try 1/2” elastic tape across the corners.

@craigsuslosky3974 2 года назад

I thought you were gonna design the cover in Fusion 360 lol. I vote for black, with your channel logo embroidered in them ;) Im shocked you havent CNC`d your sewing machine. Cover looks great and will protect the monitor, thanks for sharing!

@Clough42 2 года назад

Technically, the sewing machine is already CNC. It doesn't have a drivetrain. The needle and feed dogs are all servo driven.

@dannywilsher4165 2 года назад

Funny you say that. My mother has several computerized sewing and knitting machines. I couldn't tell you a thing about them, but they do all kinds of cool stuff....

@klaernie 2 года назад

Nah, don't embroider the logo, but use the CNC to press some silver foil onto the front - just needs a drag roller to be built ;) My first thought was if one could actually use fusion 360 to layout everything, at least for explaining before the thing exists it makes very nice visuals.

@encorespod2135 2 года назад

I had a chance to use a CNC sewing machine when I was at school, pretty cool stuff.. I dunno what it cost the school back then, must have been pretty expensive but your comment has made me think of looking into this again... after all I've CNCed everything else in my life, why not repairing pants? :D

The sewing machine is a handy tool. I fix/modify/upgrade dog leads, harnesses, treat bags. Custom zip up tool cases and bags and stuff. hoping to get a walking foot machine to do bigger projects like the car interior, custom motorbike seat etc.

@flameboy7265 2 года назад

A man of many talents👍. As someone else said, it’s you who has to look at it every time your in there so stick with it if you like it. My only observation is that I would have included a hard layer to protect the screen from impact as I could guarantee that dinging the screen would be the ultimate goal of anything I carried past, slipped through my fingers or flew out of what I was working on. I don’t know why inanimate objects seem to have this desire but as my dad always said ‘you wouldn’t believe it possible!’ Could just be a family gene thing though🤔

@bobcarlson7729 2 года назад

@rpavlik1 2 года назад

Good to know about those fabrics, I actually picked up some cheap touchscreen monitors that are very "CNC machine reject" in style from a Craigslist ad almost 2 years ago, eventually I'll stick one out in the garage and probably make a cover with a similar fabric. The hot glue hem is a great idea! The design of the pattern really reminded me of your recent videos of sheet metal in fusion...

@Chromevulcan Год назад

Pro tip: If you crease those outside corners on the face, then use a hypodermic needle to run a bead of superglue on the inside, they stay nice and crisp. That's how we kept perfect creases in our military uniforms.

@dannywilsher4165 2 года назад

I've done a bit of sewing in the past. Seat covers and other things. But I guess I should have inherited some kind of sewing skill from my great grand pa from a few generations back. He was quite famous for having several hundred patents including the Singer sewing machine. He was the Isaac Singer who started the Singer Sewing Machine company.. Unfortunately didn't do me any good...

Hi! Great video! I love the Dust Cover! I hope that you have a great Thanksgiving!

@TheTsunamijuan 2 года назад

I would think since this is going on a monitor and its preventing a more vertical surface than normal. (plus some lcd's have alot of top facing vents that prefer not to be loaded with dust/chips). That maybe adding an additional extended lip the comes down. From the top where it goes over the monitor. This should also prevent it from blowing off if you had the doors open, or a lot of air flow going on. That is the only think i can really think of to improve on this.

Definitely want to see how you do wire routing, especially with data and noisy welding current in the same machine. Are you going to make a back cover for the monitor to protect it from splashing and such?

Something as seemingly simple as running the wiring I'm sure you'll find a way to a) make it interesting and b) do it in some neat way I certainly didn't think about.

@DavidLindes 2 года назад

I dig it! And... Welding with needle and thread, I love that. :) As for the fashion of it, I kind of wish the diamonds were purple, with metallic green instead of gold in between, but maybe that's just me. ;) Anyway, this'll do. :)

@Rob_65 2 года назад

The hot glue trick is great and I have to try this on some of my covers as well. I would maybe have pressed the folds or even added some stitching so that the sides fold over nicely.

@HexenzirkelZuluhed 2 года назад

That's quite manly! I've been sowing for similar purposes for several years and find it very useful. I'd have chosen black, but I quite like bland things ;-) I also might have tried ironing in a fold so that there's a pronounced corner in the fabric, but I'm not sure that would work with this material. Maybe I'll try to find some of that black stuff with felt you've got there, having some in stock might come in handy.

@blahorgaslisk7763 2 года назад

It's been my experience that vinyl can take some shaping using heat, but I would thread carefully. It's a fine line between giving it some shape and getting a melted mess...

@jmanatee 2 года назад

I think I would have gone black but thats my personality, If you like it thats all that matters. I do all the sewing in our house, from curtains to bimini top for our boat (That was hard, water proof seams, waxed thread sunbrella cloth) A sewing machine is a power tool, if you want to work with cloth, You use the correct power tool. Good job

@JohannSwart_JWS 2 года назад

Its kinda odd seeing a sewing machine in that shop. But, in the east, sewing is done mostly by men. Usually with a great deal of skill. Its a very useful skill to acquire. I'd giggle if this becomes your most viewed video for some reason :-)

@phoolb7326 2 года назад

Interesting fabric for your surface plate. Need to go and find a few yards for future work. I've been using a RipStop for my stuff as it is light and very easy to sew in the corners etc. but of course it doesn't add as much protection.

@getsmarterandmakestuff 2 года назад

Ha! You did it! And, just as I thought I would, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I wonder if you secretly have an agenda to slowly turn this into a cooking channel... But I would watch and enjoy that, too.

@theundergroundesd 2 года назад

@JasonPruitt 2 года назад

Since it is PVC backed, could you use a heat gun and mold the corners to keep it's shape? Certainly an interesting pattern, almost one of those optical illusions where you chase the black dots around in the peripheral.

@Andrew_Fernie 2 года назад

I'm sure you could tailor a very fetching smock from that material ✔️

All black made like an upside down bag so you cover the back fully for less dust ingress and with a strap that reach the far corners on the top panel to easily pull away.

@75keg75 2 года назад

Looks good. If you stitched the hem or glued it so you could thread some elastic cord through the hem tube. it would suck the edges in and behind a bit like a fitted bottom sheet, Try get yourself some cheap tailoring scissors too. Your thumb will appreciate it on larger jobs. I wondered if you could use clear vinyl window panel (like they use on boat canopies or convertible cars canvas tops) to see screen without ever removing it.. that would be interesting to see being done.

@chrisj4570g 2 года назад

I'd like to see how you route the wiring, it's a job I have to do on mine as well (which is now up and running with the XL kit). It would be good to see how you do it vs how I have it in mind. Also... not digging the brown diamond material.

@richardjones38 2 года назад

I have an old Windows XP industrial all in one touch screen PC on my miller as the DRO diaplay. To protect the display all the time (i.e. and when using it and not), I have a very thick clear polythene bag over it. Not sure what type of touch screen it is, but it works fine through the polythene.

Folding over the sides and giving it a good ironing would help the fit, the vinyl will hold a crisp edge.

@Cenedd 2 года назад

4:59 Yes, this is true until you get smug about it and then find it won't come off. If the "permanent" marker is absorbed at all into the surface, it's not going to fully come off. This includes some paints and even some oil paints. So when you layout the stick-on letters on your kid's door in Sharpie confident that "it'll just wipe off with IPA".....yeah, not so much. It does, of course, wipe off with sandpaper and some fresh paint *sigh*
