To hold the upper and lower pieces together, why not use small metal latches like the ones on rugged boxes etc. ? Don´t need to screw anything and they don´t wear out as quick

2:00 A problem with using grooves like that is that your wood will flex somewhat when the sand is packed

@PaulsGarage

Жыл бұрын

yeah flex is an issue, but that's why i used hickory, the flanges, and the threaded rod. It's probably not something that can be solved perfectly, though

Regarding your question at the end of the video: Yes, absolutely. I am very interested in solutions and tricks like this. No one talks about this stuff. One video about intricacies like this is worth about 10 videos of people just going through the process in a broad-strokes fashion.

Yes, please describe what you are doing, just as you did here. I hate the ASMR videos where they don't talk, and then don't show enough of what they are doing so you can't figure it out, may as well not make a video.

The screws in the side flanges do that. If I leave them sticking out the bottom they fall I to the holes in the lower flange in the same spot every time. One benefit of this hardwood, it won't accidentally thread a new hole, it only goes into the pre drilled hole

Interesting idea having the sand retaining/strengthening ridges recessed into the side of the flasks, rather than proud. Means the strengthening ridges themselves are made of sand, not wood (or whatever material you choose to make your flasks from). Also, I note you have two such ridges (top and bottom) per flask; BlackBeard only has the one central (and wobbly) ridge. Apologies if all the highly technical jargon confuses anybody 🤣.

@PaulsGarage

Жыл бұрын

The cut in ridges are exactly like you say, they mean I don't need wood protruding into the flask and taking up space. I don't know if two grooves are necessary but it seemed like a good idea? Not sure

@dfross87

Жыл бұрын

@@PaulsGarage I suspect wooden supports would be stronger than rammed sand, though. Two rudges are definitely a good idea. A single central strengthening ridge means that only half the sand is supported, the other half is effectively hanging from it. And we all know how strong sand is in tension.

@PaulsGarage

I'm not sure which works better. I've heard people say both. What's clear is that no supports is clearly the worst option
