I love never having one specific job or skill set. I'm more of a master in some areas like website development, design & photography - these are how I make money. But I also dabble in other skill sets like 3D printing, woodworking, knife making, home renovation, and more.

Just what I was looking for. Got a pair of MDR- V6 and that cable is ungodly. Ordering the female 3.5 end cable now (the one on your link is currently unavailable) and getting to work on them hopefully later this week. Thanks for the instructional.
You're very welcome! The process is relatively simple, but I thought it would be good to see it done. Really any female cable end will work, but as I mentioned, don't trust wire colors. Instead rely on a simple continuity test. Good luck!
Here with an update: The patient is out of surgery and better than ever! Thanks again! I am doing this to ALL my wired non-detachable cable headphones from now. One thing to add to help on the cable color matching thing. Instead of cutting the existing headphones cable first, open the driver cup and check for continuity first like with the TRS cable and note of where they go. I would have made the same mistake you made if I didn’t watch your video. But having that schematic of where all go before even turning on the iron made this a breeze. Take care.
@@cobymela I'm glad my video helped you, and I've personally started doing this with all of my headphones as well. Your idea of checking continuity before ripping things apart is a great idea! Thank you
Nice work! What would use on bone for final finish
I have not made any knives using bone for the handle. However, I think the process would be very similar. Bone can heat up and burn just the same so make sure you're not overheating when polishing.
when installing the window, did you put any weatherstripping around the outside edges of the storm window, such as a silicone bulb?
Yes, I added a rubber gasket, bulb type like you mentioned. They are holding up fairly well, but I may need to update that soon. The adhesive strip is not holding up to the heat as well as I hoped.
Great video and content. Thank you 🖖🏻
Thank you!
Excellent video in all respects.
Thank you. I’m really trying to find my voice without doing what everyone else is doing. But it’s difficult to produce original content. I plan to create more soon so stay tuned!
Instead of just sticking to talk the mod you did you went to science class getting all about stuffs that is why we clicked. Why you guys talk too much, get to the point, sometimes you just want to see a video bc in caught attention, but it goes allover like full documentary. No wonder little views. Just feedback no hate or something
It's a no-win situation really. Some prefer the longer form video with more information, and some prefer to get the point immediately. Nonetheless, I hope you found what you were looking for.
Brother, showdown and learn something.
Take note that the frequency response can change drastically depending on what pads are being used.
Does the compound ever get gummy and leave black marks on whatever you’re trying to polish? Seems like I keep running into this issue
Yes, I've had this problem. I believe it's related to overheating the compound causing it to chemically bond to the epoxy. You need to have a light touch when buffing the epoxy. Don't stay in one place for too long and keep a container of water near to dip between passes.
Great vid Vaughn - keep them coming
Thank you sir. I'm trying to produce more content, but everyday life keeps getting in my way!
No matter how educated you are about sound and audio, be it expert or beginner, this video is gold! I am puzzled by the lack of views for such a great video.
Thank you! I suspect the algorithm doesn't appreciate my sporadic content uploading? I plan to produce more in 2024 with the hope that it will improve my stats.
So true! Awesome little video!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
I can't find where to buy these cables
Hi, this link should work: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BRCWLFJ5
Hey brother! Im new here lol but I just want to say good work, and I have a ? When you pour the resin it has this amazing 3D with all the colors, are you able to bring that back after the dullness of what the 2x72 leaves? I'm in progress of hand sanding now but it's not as glassy as I was hoping?
Hi Al, thanks for the question. I've found that the 2X72 does a great job in getting the basic shape and the start of a sheen. After the basic grinding on the 2X72, I move over to hand shaping where I move through grits down to 8000. With hand sanding, I don't start using water until I hit 1200 grit. When I reach 5000 grit, I use Flitz which is a metal polish but it works well with sandpaper and epoxy. Side note, 5000+ sandpaper feels like you're sanding with grit-less office paper. Finally, I move to the bench grinder with polishing waxes, making sure not to overheat the epoxy which can cause it to get a matte appearance. It's a lengthy process for sure, but I'm able to eventually get to a high gloss finish.
came to your channel for the "how to polish ..." video you did a couple years ago, ended up watching this. nicely done: good message, good vibe, good camera work too. i too have been voluntarily house-bound since Covid became a thing, also had sleep problems. haven't really found a solution but i have managed to make some peace with it, at least now i'm getting a decent amount of sleep each day even if it does take a couple tries to get there. anyway, i wish you well, curious to see what you'll do next. +1 sub. 👍✌🖖
Thank you for the kind comments. I’m in the process of producing more content now so please stay tuned!
This is dope bro! I love the authenticity where you just feel so connected from the jump. “We wanna live!” Had too show another Creator some love 🙏🏾 Stay at it!!
Thank you! I really appreciate that you took the time to watch this. You're the first to comment on this work. I was beginning to think that nobody liked it, so your words mean a lot to me.
Everything can be done on your belt grinder, Why waste all the time hand sanding?
I don't see a belt grinder as a fine finish tool - even with a fine grit belt. I prefer to hand sand both epoxy and wood because I find that it's much easier to focus on improving tiny imperfections without having a 2" belt threatening to add an unintentional mistake to the work. I think you'll find that with most fine crafts these days, 80% is done with a machine and 20% is done by fine handwork. Anyway, I don't see the tactile experience of hand sanding as a waste of time - I feel that it adds to joy of making things. At least that's my experience.
This was a great video. Do you have any videos of you making the windows?
Unfortunately, I believe this is the only video I have for this. I intended to create another, but at the time the project took priority over filming.
@@SomewhatAbnormal Says the channel is not active/does not exist.
After I posted that reply about changing my channel, I took a different approach to organizing my stuff. Sorry for the confusion! The channel URL is kzread.info/dron/hfwzKwZGoB0NI1iEUh4U7g.html
Currently working on an epoxy handle great videos
Thanks Simon! I'll be adding new content soon. I apologize for not creating more, but I'm trying to get organized so that I can.
Thanks for the video I'm sitting here sanding my first epoxy handle now. I've only made 5 knives so this hidden tang epoxy knife is kinda rough
Thanks for the comment Richard! Using epoxy for knife handles is definitely challenging. Over Xmas break I was able to see how these handles have held up after 1-2 years of use, and I can verify that they are still stable.
This is exactly what I was looking for, I’ll check to see if you show how to put glass in it.
I really wish I had recorded how to insert the glass and also the installation of the windows. This whole process took about 1.5 years because I was mostly working alone and I have 37 windows on my house.
@@SomewhatAbnormal hi, it’s me again, this time I’m wondering who makes the Orange brackets that are screwed on to the board? Did you use boiled linseed oil to preserve the wood? I love this kind of stuff. My husband thinks I’m nuts. I reglazed several windows and loved every minute of it. Restoring old windows is definitely a labor of love.
Cindy, I'm glad to help because I'm a DIY geek as well!

Great video man thru and thru
Thank you! I'm in the process of retooling my workshop, so I will have more videos soon. I really appreciate your feedback.
I have found cutlers rivets tricky and like the simplicity of pin rivets. Can you talk to me about setting pin rivets and how well do they hold ? Thanks
Hello William, I've had very good luck with pin rivets, a mini drop of superglue could be the reason. Saludos. Anaco, Anz.
I use pins in all of my knives and I have yet to have one fail. There are a few things I do... 1) On my bandsaw I cut little grooves around the center section of the pin which basically gives the pin additional surface area inside the handle where epoxy can seat. I take a whole piece of pin material (usually 8-12"), mark the cut lines, then spin the pin material against the blade in the center of each pin. No need to be overly neat, just make grooves then cut all the pins to length. 2) Clean all of your parts with acetone before glue up and make sure everything is dust free. 3) Don't use a quick epoxy (5 minute) for gluing up your handles. Instead use a longer curing epoxy like West System G/Flex which has a working time of 60-75 minutes, initial cure of 3-4 hours, and a workable cure of 7-10 hours. With a longer curing epoxy, you can make last minute alignment adjustments, and G/Flex makes good structural bonds that resist expansion, contraction and shock. People use it on canoes, kayaks and boats so it's engineered to stand up to water and stress. 4) Don't be afraid to use the epoxy liberally especially around the pin holes when gluing up. I've found that 2 drams of each (resin and hardener) for a total of 4 drams is the right amount for the typical knife. I use drams because the little disposable measuring cups I use are marked with drams - 1 dram is equivalent to 1.77185 grams or 0.0625002 oz. If you want to pigment your epoxy (I like to use black pigment) just make sure to add it to the epoxy (not more than 10% of volume -- basically a few drops), mix well, then add hardener. Pigment can change the properties of epoxy slightly so it's best to stick with pigments that are engineered to work with G/Flex (knifemaking.com/products/we5018-white-pigment). Hope this helps!
More videos please?😊
Coming soon! I promise. I'm in the process of doing some office and workspace renovation so my life will be easier!
Beautiful! 🤩
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice porno music.
Gotta feel sexy when you're polishing epoxy.
Nice knife and that work bench is awesome
Thanks! This is a 8' Gladiator workbench I bought from Sears about 20 years ago, and I added the T-Tracks about a year ago. I use Rockler hold down clamps in the track to keep my knife stable while I'm filing or sanding. The hold down clamps with the end stop are essential when I'm gluing up a composite knife scale.
Just fyi, you can go from 1000 grit straight to the buffer. Buff with green then pink and it'll be clear as glass.
Thanks for that feedback, and I'll give it a try with my next knife.
Nice video very informative
Thank you. I plan to make more videos soon.
Thank you!
