Good day! Or night. Good whenever it is where your at? My name is David and I do stuff. I have many projects that I work on doing woodcarving, wood burning, wood working, or various odd things around the house. So this channel is like that house with the garage sale around the corner that has a lot of odd and interesting things to look at. They don't look all that good quality, but there's just something about the shape or design that grabs your attention before whoevery your with grabs your arm and pushes you back towards the car before you reach for the fifty cents in your pocket. But it stays in the back of your mind and you can't stop thinking about it but when you go back there's no garage sale anymore. There isn't even a house there. Just an empty lot with a tumbleweed rolling across it.

Thank you for your service
I have had mine for about 3 years. I heard about the foot pedal problems. I must say I never experienced any problems at all. Mine runs from stationary evenly up to full power. I have more trouble holding the pedal down due to a muscle disease than the pedal not working correctly. I honestly can say I am impressed with the whole unit.
Drawn 😉
Got foredom sr chuck fell out of it first touch to the wood damn I was looking forward to using it
Common problem with them. I have had mine for about 3 years. The chuck came out once while I was wood carving. Due to the centrifugal force, the chuck ran along the bench and out the door of my workshop. I chased it down, replaced it and whacked it hard once I replaced it. It has never come apart since. Great unit. I’m extremely impressed with it.
@@shedmanx3640 whacked it hard? You mean the chuck in the handpiece I've used little force for into less than a minute it comes out all I know is screw the chuck while I'm still waiting for my replacement I'm a patient man more so when it's 100 degrees and humidity at 88 Arkansas for you and mosquitoes thick from rice fields
@@shedmanx3640 I received two handpieces along with a package of wood bits both are doing great! Patience paid off I gave both a good whack before using thanks for the advice
@@shedmanx3640 they gave me two flex shaft two handpieces and a dozen bits for my troubles before I used them they each gotta good solid whack they are working damn good thanks for the advice man in the shed
your supposed to use only mechanical connections on ac circuits, but you will be alright
Fun video - I totally enjoyed the show. The carving came out great too!
Just stumbled across your channel; nice content & creativity.
Hola que madera usas???
I just bought one of these from Vevor annd it is a total piece of junk. Now I'm having problems sending it back.DO NOT BUY... CHINESE JUNK.
This looks exactly like my Foredom, however it sounds very different. The real thing is quieter and smoother, and likely more powerful. The pedal looks the same as the standard Foredom pedal, but it seems to have issues. My pedal is very easy to control, from slow speeds all the way to full throttle. And that's just the standard plastic one. Foredom has a metal one as well. Mine came with the quick change hand piece. I have the hand piece like the one you show as well, although I can't remember if that was included or if I bought it separately. I use both often. This looks like a pretty good deal for what I've seen these go for. It will work for it's intended purpose. If you're going to use it every day, and make money with it like I do, invest in the real thing. It will probably save you money when you don't have to replace it after a year. For a hobbyist though, this looks way better than a Dremel for most things, and it's probably close in price to the most expensive Dremel.
I just drilled a hole thru pedal, attached a 3.5” X 1/4” lag bolt with washers & a wing nut Allowing me to make precise adjustments Total cost $6.00 & a drive to my local hardware store
use a light dimmer switch, it starts off @ nothing and then speeds up as you you turn up
Tinning is good
I use a separate variable speed control.
The foredom pedals are not much better in my opinion and I have been using foredom for close to 40 years.
Chuck key fits poorly.
Your video was very helpful. I did have to keep muting the awful background music but I did get the gist of it. Thank you.
Glad i finally saw someone do this , 120 dollars from fordom lol , been a cabinetmaker for many years , we use router speed controllers, would work perfect for like 20 bucks ..
If you have the spring bolts for that Unistrut you are using, you can easily strap the motor to it. Unistrut is the brand name for that system it belongs to. The brand 'Unistrut', has a huge variety of hardware, and attachments made specifically to mount to those channels.
Just found the review. An eBay seller currently has this for $50. I’m in an industry where what you pay is what you get. And in some instances this is true. I think it’s fair to say at the least that one would need buy 16 to pay as much for a Foredom. If each lasted only a year, a person would still pay less. Aside from this I have a habit of looking for the best deal on good, dependable equipment. And in the past 10 years I’ve come to find that many of these items are made in China and then badged with a quality name by the reputable company. Some differences might be in materials dictated by the US company. And then you have productions from the same company that are blems: cast quality might be off. A coating might be off color, etc. I work for the commercial division of a famous French company and blem tires are often sold at a very low cost. So not all price points are a mark of poor quality. It’s just company quality on visuals doesn’t meet a standard. My advice for making such decisions are no longer novel. Use of an AI app can lead to making sound judgement on a purchase when it comes to true quality at a fair price. It’s a tool I use when comparative shopping in every aspect of my life. Good luck and hope the tip helps.
Very Nice :)
turned out great and so did the second attempt of the "knome" :)
how is the Vevor holding up, still running?
Do you know if the foredom tabletop base (without speed controller) will fit the vevor?
Quit squeaking the damn styrofoam 😖
I would buy a potentiometer and just wire the leads from the one inside the pedal into a new box with the new potentiometer, then throw away the foot pedal.. Simple desk mounted control of speed that will remain constant.. Foot pedals are garbage and even the good ones still leave a lot to be desired in terms of regulating speed..

Hi David, I just got to see your waterfall house 24 mins video, carved on a piece of cottonwood. Do you happen to have a video of how it works adding water? I am taking an applied design class at a college near by. One of our projects is to make a dream house. I thought of making a waterfall, that can be added water. I love your waterfall house so much, i may change my mind. Could i get some ideas of how to make my own? I can appreciate it. Ivonne 😊 🪵
That is a gift; I'm happy you've shared this with everyone 😊 See what you want, and find a way to make it happen!
Hello from Southern Wisconsin; I used to make towers & castles of clay on a clif. to change things up once in awhile, I used to paint the roof with white glue and sprinkle sand over the glue. It made a nice effect for the roof. I love your fairy house. great job, keep on turckin friend.
Great little project. Never had much luck with the sensor style. Ended up using the switch style that could be accessed by drilling a small hole on each side hidden in the cracks of the rocks. Would rather the convenience of the sensor but they never seem to work when recessed even a little bit. Keep up the get bark carvings.
Hi; Great job for first video. I really enjoyed watching you carve. It would be nice to see the final finished product. I watched another video the other day where an adjustable temperature woodbruner was used to make the rocks, shingles and siding boards. I don't know if it was easier to do than the gouges and a knife or not, but it worked well and didn't cause any chipping of the wood. You might want to experiment with one. Just saying, it might be a way to add additional effects in your carvings.
Thank you for all the information! Please continue to be safety consious. You never know when you’re making a mistake until it’s complete. Keep your fingers please.
So does it take 1/8 bits and 1/4 ?
Sure hope it works good so let’s see!🙏
I was thinking of doing this with my warren blades. Thanks for giving us a great way to make a knife
Where's the finished piece?
I blew out my elbow trying to learn carving…so I’m watching you and hoping I can hold a dermal while my elbow heals. I learned so much watching you. Now to find cotton wood ! Thank you
You are an incredible artist! I can’t wait to try carving since finding you. OhI know I won’t live to see the quality of workmanship you do, but I intend to have fun trying. Thank you so much, Mickey, an old lady Michigander.
i have the vevor 780W, the pedal is the same but mine works well and very progressive.
can the handle be changed out? how is it for precision work?
Very useful video. Thanks. I like your approach, Sub'd.
Curious, what’s all the noise it makes? Sounds like an old sewing machine?thanks
I may try a dimmer switch also. I have a video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4iB28iIm9zblqw.html Where I shorten the spring in foot pedal (switch). It works much better now. The switch is a slide switch with electrical component's in it and around 3/4 ways through the actuation the slide drops of and it is powered directly so it takes off!! No graduation. $15 switch. There are nice pedals for around $100-150. More than the price I payd for my rotary. These machines are a bargain get two or three for the price of the Real McCoy.
Try heating the copper the copper tubing before you drive it on. It will expand, go on easier and be very tight when it cools.
Want to sell those old pulleys?
I am 3 years late to your video and I see you only have 830 sub's but I hope you are still doing videos mostly because your humanity of just being a regular guy not perfect it feels like you're just a friend showing me how to do a craft I'm trying to figure out. For a beginner like myself it's a more welcoming approach and it seems like I got a ton more understanding. Thank you
why add lights and not show it .too much talking to your self.ruind it for this carver.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6xokpRrgMWuf5c.html What to do with the blue wires.
Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!
Fantastic whimsical house 🏡 . 😀
