    I'm a bit confused at the supports step. First you say you use 1/2" MDF to lay out the lines because that's what you're going to end up using but then you cut up 3/4" square strips out of 2x4's. Looking at the video, it looks like you're using the 1/2 lines to mark the edges against where you'll put the 3/4" supports.

  • @WeBuildStuff
    @WeBuildStuff12 күн бұрын

    The thickness of the strips isn't super important as long as one edge lines up perfectly with your layout lines. I do like 3/4 thick supports as it is easier to attach the t-nuts due to the fastener width. The 1/2 thick lines are so I can see where my 1/2 thick mdf panels will be going

    Basic not primitive. A circular saw, jigsaw, router, and nailer are basic carpentry tools that 13 year olds learn to use in my classes. All can be bought used for cheap and are basic hand-woodworking tools. "Fancy and not basic" to me would be stationary equipment like a tablesaw, industrial thickness planer and jointer setup. This isn't five minute crafts using cardboard and paperclips or 'primitive' building with sticks and mud.

    You do terrific videos with great detail but I need to make an arcade for a 20 inch monitor and have no idea of where to start. How do I go about drawing and cutting out the first two items that you say I should start with: the sides. This is to be a bar top arcade. But I don't know how to relate what I need to draw to my monitor size??? Sorry, probably basic question.

    Holy cow you did all that with a number 0? I use a 3 for brazing copper and I was looking to dip my toes into welding. I like a nice roaring spitting flame for brazing in the wind and a more gentle roar with little spitting for brazing inside/without wind. You can also notice with a nice super hot flame that the weld/braze is done "locally" like with your second take where the outer edge of the workpiece wasn't even glowing yet while you were laying your bead.

    I use the sticky wax as a temporary way to attach the sprue to the model. I then suggest to use some additional melted wax (blue or green strong stuff) to reinforce. I am by no means an expert since I dont practice much but I can usually get good results for students when they make their own models from wax blanks

    The bottom of the entrance hole should be not less than 5 inches from the base to prevent fledglings getting out too early. The inside should be scored from the base to bottom of the entrance to help the fledglings get out when fully fledged. In order that I can clean the nest out, I leave the base not permanently fixed. I drill suitable holes through the walls into the base and use loose nails to hold it in place. It is a simple matter to take out the nails and allow the base to drop out so that cleansing can take place. This is not a critique. But, hopefully, we can all exchange ideas.

    Hi, since we have a different size in my country, what diameter and length are the bolts you used to secure the panels? we use cm for measurement. Thank you

  • @WeBuildStuff
    @WeBuildStuffАй бұрын

    Depending on which part and the thickness of your panel you would probably want anywhere between 4-5 cm long bolts and I wouldn't goo smaller than 4mm in diameter due to the strength required. When I designed this one I chose my fasteners based on what was easily available and not super expensive Most of my t nuts and bolts are #10-32 which is (4.76mm in diameter or 3/16")

    @@WeBuildStuff First of all, thank you for the reply. I was considering putting an M5 I think it corresponds to the diameter of 5mm. my bolts will be cross screw and not with the allen screw system. The panel I ordered is identical to your 19mm MDF, so the length must be at least 4cm. Unfortunately I cannot attach photos to this page.

    OMG, I am having a major problem with the shift lever assembly, I cannot get it in the transmission. My mistake was accidently taking it out when doing replacing my clutch and so far its been 2 days I attempted to put it in and nothing yet. It is difficult to line it up. An its even worse because I have to figure out what neutral is because I left my transmission in first gear when I parked it when I started the clutch replacement...
