I make stuff. Well, I TRY to make stuff. Maybe it works, maybe i injure myself, who knows.

Great video. May I ask which LED light you added to your setup please?
I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed that KZread hasn't been showing me your videos for well over a year. I forgot how good (and funny) your videos are.
Have you any mobile phone app scan review?
Someone needs to make a scanner there you can move one of the lenses either closer or further away from the centre.
Wow, your wife! Your really punching there mate!
I've seen you use that pouring basin in a few of your vids and I think I recall you printed a mold for it. Is that STL available somewhere?
Have you had a chance to try the CR-Scan Otter? It seems to do a better job than the Ferret. (I've only tried these 2 and for just a couple of hours each) It would be great to get a good comparison of them. Cheers!
Behold next victim! (Priceless.)
Hey im in a former british colony!
The sputtering on start up is the motor dying. Thats the starting capacitor or whatever kicking on over and over until the motor reaches the running RPM. Once its running at a fast enough RPM the capacitor is cut off and the motor will continue to run.
haha, i'm actually 16 and i sorta know where my life is gonna go (hopefully engineering) and i'm also a massive cheapskate, which leads to me trying to DIY literally everything. unfortunately, i'm a bit limited in space and money so i think i'm on the right track because i love any and every way to create stuff (and i'm on the verge of getting a 3d printer since i'm very comfortable with fusion 360) so you don't need to tell me twice! love the videos man, you deserve about 300k more subs
Beautifully said. Thank you for the reminder. I have often mused that metal casting is an amazing way to experience and overcome "things not going correctly/as expected/the way you wanted." Still, the fear never completely goes away and this was a helpful reminder and morale booster. Thanks again.
Also, way to go on the tapered sprue and the surge trap. We must all keep working to spread the good word!
It’s all curiosity and problem solving. Do a thing, do it again try to make it a tiny bit better. Do it again.
First understanding coding by answering this question - how do you eat an elephant? - on byte at a time, ok a nibble, or a slice, wait, just start with a bit. 🤣 But seriously, I am at the upper end of your age spectrum and attempted to forge a hinge this morning - I'll be starting over next weekend from the first fold and fresh material.😎
I think people would be surprised at what they can do if they just go for it. These projects teach some extremely useful skills.
Just what I need, a huge dose of inspiration to go pick up _more_ hobbies…😜 Of course I joke…you’re a huge reason I’m the maker I am today and it’s great to see you inspiring people to dive down the first of hopefully many fulfilling and complementary rabbit holes 👍
My name is Mike 😮
Just before you said Trogdor, I was thinking I would draw an S, and a more different S...
Love your videos Paul, keep at it.
Only a fool would invoke the Mighty Burninator by name so casually. You've grown soft amd complacent in your safe former British colony.
My name is Mike :) your humor amused me in my human emotions
Schools actively discourage polymaths
Love the attitude! X colony? Check! 76 yr old male Check! Other side of the planet i.e. 46 S 168 East, Check! :) Tinkers in the shed among too many to count incomplete skills? Check! :)
This is so true, I've been trying to keep that spark of not giving a shit about failure in my kids as they're well past 8 now. I started out with hand tools making utter crap, I inherited my grandfather's lathe, which sent me down a machining direction in my making, and I was able to make stuff that was round and differently crap. Since then I've made everything from lightsabers to furniture to my own CNC router. And they're less crap now.
this is great advice
Well........... at 72, I've already been down that road, it's fascinating! I grew up with parents who were artists who taught me I could do anything I wanted! I've done a lot of things!! Good on you! Cheers, Matthew
I used to make all kinds of stuff and then I just got tired of doing it. Occasionally I still do stuff. But not like I used to. I'm not in a place in my life right now where I'm especially motivated.
Clicked because of Consummate Vs. Was not disappointed :D
Finally, excellent advice for the backyard enthusiast - pouring over sand is essential if you don't want pock marks in your face! A large heat change will cause concrete (with a high percent water content) to explode - try it with a Mapp gas torch on an inconspicuous spot, but wear PPE! The water exits so fast that the cement is ruptured and turns into shrapnel. Now imagine, cement chips plus molten metal.
Lmfao. My name is Mike I'm 33, and the last time I poured metal was in my bathroom.
it's mark, thank you.
Paul nice build I have been looking at buying a 3D printer !
First melt next week Paul!
Skill stacking. That's a good way to say it. When I was a year or two into being a licensed contractor some of my guys would ask me how I was able to do so much stuff. I told them that all knowledge was useful. Every time you learn something it created relational hooks that allowed you to learn other stuff more easily. Skill stacking is a much catchier term than relational hooks. Thanks for sharing that.
Look at it another way. We ALL start life with a just few basic built in skills: grabbing whatever is put in our hand, finding boobs and drinking milk (and a few others). EVERYTHING else you know or can do you have learned.
I'm not so sure about that. I remember the day I discovered I could draw. I had an obvious natural talent for it. Drawing was nothing I ever learned how to do. I always could draw. I still remember the look on the shrink's face when he asked me to draw something. I guess he was kinda expecting me to draw a stick figure. He knew I had talent. He was shocked.
I absolutely agree. I am a 54 year old dude looking to retire shortly and have recently taken up metal melting (and documenting of course), the point being, it was you and another creator in this scene that motivated me to try. I am now trying to weld myself into learning metal sculpting. It begins with motivation and desire. Boom, next thing you know, you have a home foundry and more than one crucible. In sum, guys/gals, listen to the man!! ✊🏻🖤🤘🏻
Yeah motivation is the key. If you don't have that you're just not going to do anything.
Can I make an aluminum bronze opening trowel? 🤣😂
Well...... Mine isn't the fear of it looking like an 8 yo had put it together, as long as it does the job that's cool. It's just the time videoing it all 😅
I paused the video and drew a seahorse. You know what? Turned out better than I thought it would.
I knew Blender was gonna get mentioned in the "how to make ANYTHING" video. :) EVERYONE should learn Blender.
Dang right. Blender and fusion, you can make literally anything you want.
So, I’m Mike, in my 40’s and live in a former British colony, you kinda freaked me out with that one. But I already make stuff so I know you can’t have been talking to me. 🤣
I may have looked up a list of most common names in the 1980's so I could freak out the maximum number of people
My crucible also broke inside that same furnace.
Which size crucible? Was is molded or milled? How many times did you use it? What were you melting? I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. I know Vevor is collecting lot numbers to track down any issues
i didnt buy any type of 3d printer but i wanna buy that 3d printer are we rebottling the resin easy or hard can you tel me about it
Use a funnel and it isn't hard, but you will have to clean the side of the vat afterwards
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
If the leap seems too big, take a course. This was my way into sand casting - mostly for safety. Yes it cost a few £. But I’ve spent more on nights out and house fires are inconvenient by all accounts.
Oh for sure, house fires are no fun. Plus think of the cost savings in time
Paul reminds me of someone. Can't quite work out who.... but the beard, long hair, inspirational speech, has a bunch of followers, turns (metal) water into things. He would look good in a robe as well. Got it! kzread.info/dash/bejne/Znx2mdyqgJy3ftI.html
LOL great movie
Hey Paul. I'm outside your demographic. I'm 72, retired software guy. Four years ago I started making guitars, starting with zero manual skills. At first the suck was up at about 11. Now my suck level is down to like 8 or 9. Making guitars led to (1) welding, (2) 3D printing, (3) shop made CNC router, (4) vitreous enamelling, (5) laser engraving, (6) electroplating and anodizing, (7) heat treating shop made metal tools, and lots of other stuff. I learned blender, Fusion 360, Adobe Illustrator, LightBurn, and whatnot. However I'm still not as funny as you, at least not on purpose. P.S. I used to live in Fort Atkinson.
That's great!! You're never too old to start making something new. Sounds like fun, plus is a great way to get a whole bunch of awesome guitars! Fort, eh? I spent a fair amount of time at the jellystone park there growing up. Good times
It's not the length of the spear tip, it's what you do with it.
Why open boxes with a small razor when a foot long knife will do? 🤣
"...like deflating an angry cat." 🤣🤣
I'm a violinist, the deflating cat stage lasted until I was about 14 years old 🤣 the cat got a little less angry after that
The first skill is always learning to learn, and the first step is to imagine. The second skill is learning to research, because research is the second step. The third skill is to question, because the next step is decide how you will test your idea.
Well said!
If you don't know how to learn how can you learn how to learn? If we knew what we were doing then it wouldn't be called research.
@@1pcfred When you don't know how to do something, you find someone to teach you. When you have learned how to learn, you know how to teach yourself. You cannot research something UNTIL you know what you are trying do because you have to know what you are searching for an order for it to be "research". Research is always a deeper dive into what you already know a little about, and that can be looking into what has already been known and shared or looking for paths that have not been explored. What I posted is just the first three steps of The Scientific Method with the generic name for the skill needed to completely that step. Three is also a process known as The Design Cycle which is very similar.
@@andy-in-indy that's not what I do at all. When I don't know how to do something I just figure it out. The very first thing I do is access the feasibility of me doing something at all. If it's anything I can't figure out then I'm not going to do it either. i can remember one time looking for days to find a self latching relay circuit schematic where the coil ran on a different voltage than the switched voltage. I never could find one. But at the outset I was sure I would. Then in the end I just designed the circuit myself. I didn't have any 240V coil relays. I know where there's one on the Internet now though. Because I posted mine. I was so annoyed by all of that. I wasted days looking for that info. By the time I'm going to find anything I could have just figured it out for myself.
@@1pcfred What you are saying is that you go to stop there because you have already done the first two. The core idea of skill stacking is that because you have done them once you don't have to do them every time.
