I'd like to see an episode where you experiment with, or test some diy personal insulation. Things like newspaper, aluminum foil, bubble wrap etc... With Modern Rogue HQ being in Texas, and considering the ice storm that just ripped through the woefully unprepared southern states, I think it would be an especially appropriate topic for a video. Granted, it would feel retroactive, but lets be honest, people are more likely to watch 'how to' videos after they've been through a bad situation, rather than before, myself included. It's literally why I'm making this suggestion. I live in South West Louisiana....it was rough.
a quicker safer way to shred up milk jugs, get an industrial/heavy duty paper shredder (like the one that can handle credit cards), cut the milk jugs into large almost paper sized sheets, feed them through one at a time and slowly.
Don't know if you guys are experiencing the frozen hell-on-earth in Texas, but either way hope y'all are staying safe and warm! Love from the Atlantic Bubble ❤
I see the effects of the glue sniffing had caught up to them. “The hot box make plastic go stab stab.” No matter how well ventilated the warehouse, if you put the glue 2 centimeters from your nose and intentionally sniff it, it won’t help.
The two of you design knives like people who’ve never seen a knife before, but read a description of one in a book once. It’s awful, but makes for great content.
Or better yet, freeze the milk in the bottle or fill with water, then tie a rope securely around the bottle thru the handle, and then swing it round like some sorta wannabe weapon
True story: In my house, it was called "chipped beef on toast" until I was a teenager. At that point Mom dropped all pretense and it was shit-on-a-shingle forever after!
As a Brandon, I am both honored and offended that you would suggest I would go after your prison wallet. I would challenge you to a duel, if I weren't so afraid of the milk juggalo. You guys are awesome, thanks for the recognition of the destructive power of Brandons everywhere!
My job is to turn plastic pellets into plastic film. And yes, we recycle a ton of what we call repro scrap pellets. There is one particular blend of film that actually is about 30% milk jugs. We rarely use it because, although it's a strong material (HDPE), it clogs the extruder screen packs (which means stopping production to replace them), it causes gels in every blend that it's in, and it smells like old milk.
"Want me to stand on it? I'll climb up there and stand on it." "Actually... how about we put it on the floor and stand on it?" "That's a better idea" Had me fucking ROLLING
I wonder why nobody else thought of that? Oh wait, they did. People have made plastic knives, wooden knives, stone knives and even ice knives. All non metallic.
Ventilation doesn’t just mean open space or clear vents, it means MOVING AIR. I build and paint miniatures for D&D and 40k. There’s plenty of times when I’ve almost collapsed because I got into the zone and didn’t realize that I couldn’t breath because of my glue or paint lol. A small fan works. I even use a small oscillating space heater that I turn off the heating element on.
PSA: Don't use a steel grinder on plastic unless you want to ruin your grindingwheel, kids! But yeah, good episode! But you should be a little more confident! You guys got this, don't worry. (but cautious actions are still right actions, don't forget!)
I actually have been melting HDPE for a while. Normally I cook it at around 280-350 depending on the quantity. I built a wooden mold that I use for pressing it into bricks I can work with like wood. I also suggest using parchment paper between the plastic and whatever you’re cooking it on so I’d doesn’t stick. As far as melting it takes different times depending on how much you’re melting, but they don’t all have to be the same color for them to be properly melted. Sometimes the white jugs become clear, but other times they stay white. Cooling should be done by leaving it in the mold with constant pressure and allowed to cool slowly. I’ve tried cooking in the freezer and they warp. Things I found that melt well: milk/juice jugs, detergent jugs, shampoo/conditioner bottles, oil containers, and shopping bags. Make sure to THOROUGHLY wash these things out before cooking them. You don’t want any residue (especially the oil) left in while cooking the plastic. Also if using shopping bags it takes a LOT. I made a 4”x3”x1.5” brick and it took around 75 walmart bags. It’s a lot of fun, but be very safe.
By the way. If you're actually improvising don't go fancy with handguards and stuff. It might weaken the overall stucture (depending on the material and treatment of course) and you may not always have time for testing... Better have a shitty shive than an exceptionally useless well made knife. And keep on going as you are with the modern rogue. The content alternating a lot from one update to the next is very refreshing.
HDPE forms toxic fumes above 360°F you should keep it at 3:50 and when it turns completely transparent smash it in between something like wood or steel
Random bits of data fr5om someone who used to work plastics: HDPE, the stuff milk jugs are made of, fuses (it doesn't really melt) at 420-440F. The hotter it gets the smellier it gets but there's nothing carcinogenic. Not good to breathe anyway. The faster it's quenched (brought to room temp typically in a water bath) the better the edge it will hold, but the more brittle it will be. There's not much difference between fast and slow for the purposes of say, this video.
yes, it is actually crazy that this channel is still on youtube, I remember watching a lot of channels like this, but all of them had been forced to shut down/ create different content due to youtube restrictions, it's actually kind of sad.
I watched O Brother, Where Art Thou as a child, and I turned out... well I turned out horribly but it was totally unrelated to watching O Brother, Where Art Thou.
For real hahahh. That huge hand guard may be good for stabby action but makes it almost impossible to use for slicy action unless you're standing by an edge.
@@ch1ckenm4ster78 the modern rogue is from Austin Texas so yes it is related. Huge snowstorm for the past week and for a state that doesnt get snow it took a toll on the state, the power grid and the water systems.
QUICK FACTS! unless you are using special techniques or a grinding wheel that is rated for soft materials, you should not use a grinding wheel to grind plastic wood or soft metals such as aluminum. The reason behind this is the wheel itself is very porous and will be clogged, possibly causing a fracture or explosion of the wheel... which is spinning at 5000 to 6500 feet per second. Always wear protective equipment and stay to the side of the grinding wheel.
when one of those grinding wheels get clogged with plastic/wood, it just becomes less effective while having its pores clogged (which you can clean just grinding a little bit of metal) it doesn't actually have a risk to generate enough friction to make it heat up considerably, but when grinding aluminum the aluminum can melt and coat the wheel with molten aluminum, that generates more friction and rapidly heats up the wheel which can cause it to explode. apart from that, yes, always wear protective equipment when using one of those things, they can throw off sparks/chunks of metal at pretty high speeds.
@@truefoxtrot2884 good to know! I am just a hobbiest, but while learning i was told that its was not wise to grond plastic, thanks for enlightening me!
I am VERY surprised that the "modern rogues" haven't visited a cannabis dispensary yet, given it's legal... AND that you did a tobacco episode... and a cigar episode.
HDPE is what you are looking for. Milk jugs, shampoo bottles, and plastic shopping bags are usually HDPE. Keep the oven under 350 and it's not supposed to off gas anything toxic.
Im a fan of the theme, flair and general vibe of the channel, and a fan of you guys. Thats why im a bit frustrated. For a channel that is dedicated to learning to create/ “teaching” to create stuff like this, its kind of astonishing how you consistently manage to low effort, half ass most of everything you attempt. Not those videos dedicated to learning skills, but from all the videos where you MAKE anything, tell us this: Seriously Brian and Jason, when was the last time you felt you had actually succeeded to create what you had set out to do, with the quality/ effectiveness of your finished product actually align with what you had read up online or with what you had heard or whats widely “known” to be true or whatever..? To be honest, i feel like (very much depending on the nature of the topic) you’ve gotten somewhat complacent and lazy.. for example here, is it really to hard/not worth it for you to heat/melt it a bit more thoroughly, press it together a bit more carefully and then (or maybe just, but at least……) just quickly look up simple knife shapes and how you would draw them on and cut and grind them down. I started to look that up just now and then thought why am i here for if every time i watch one of those videos of you and end up researching how to do it properly, because you wont. This would be such a great channel really! I just hope to see you make stuff with a bit more effort and with the goal of ending up with something quality. Sorry for the rant. Wouldn’t care if it didnt came from a place of love! ;) Greetings from Switzerland
My truck bed has a bunch of black hdpe plastic from the company I work for, I'm a plastic welder and I make water tanks. I bring home the scraps to make things out of, or I spray paint it for shooting targets. I also have a bunch of cut up milk jugs and soap bottles from a few years ago for exactly like what you guys are doing (not knifes, I didn't think of that) but I can get any size plastic from 1/8 to 1.5 inch. I can give you my company name through privet message if you wanted to buy some. I can cut out knife blanks with our large cnc machine
I just remembered a clip from a recent anime Dr Stone where he used molten plastic and sheets of paper in order to create a shield of basically "Primitive Carbon Fiber". I know that y'all have already shown the efficacy of Paper Shields, but I wonder how much stronger it would be if you added Molten Milk Jugs (or other plastics).
I'm extremely torn, I love watching you guys figure things out and attempt things, but then also when Jason gets ready to use the bench grinder and says, "how do you turn this on?" I also immediately have an urge to say, 'ok, step away from the tool'.... Something about announcing the unsureness or not knowing what you're doing before attempting the unsafe thing... IDK. Weird as this is the first time I've felt that. All that being said, keep doing what you all are doing!
Is the modern rogue name a reference to heros quest? BTW I'm a thermoformer ,molder in plastics and make stuff with HDPE and various other plastics. You gotta make a slingshot and bow next time.
How to make a knife out of a milk jug. 1. Cut up the milk jugs 2. Use the scissors as a knife 3. Spend a 1/2 hour drinking and remove the chance of cancer from plastic fumes.
