That's weird. I buy the cheapest ones I can find on eBay, but I do replace them every several (many) months. But I use my phone a lot. I've never had any serious issues but the thin glass does crack fairly easily...

I used it for hours yesterday, it worked fine. I even clicked on 3 sidebar ads while editing, they definitely made their money's worth!

I just embedded a video in an I'ble and it shows up. But it was in an I'ble that was already published.

I was planning to use it for several hours today to design a Youtube thumbnail. Right now the site works for me, I was able to load an image. I hope it doesn't fix in the middle of an edit...

It's basically a corded drill where the chuck in only threaded on (no reverse threads) so it can be removed easily, and when the chuck is removed, it exposes a gear (from the side) that gets locked in the opposite shaped thing... The drill powers a 5" circular saw and a bench grinder.A good idea, but poorly executed... But with that said I just recently used it to cut some 20mm (3/4") thick acrylic which is really tough stuff.It's probably around 60 years old (made by Skil).No pictures, but it's what I used in this (bad, old) video:

It is flat, but several times :)

What are you planning on using one for? (I'ble link is broken)I wanted one but realized expansion and contraction would be an issue in the winter/summer months because of humidity changes if I use it for stuff (I wanted to make a wooden bench vise screw).I figured a steel threaded rod would be much stronger anyway and I could use one that's much smaller.

*Of play.That's somewhere around 50 thou.

A large circular saw (my vintage one is drill powered and the blade has more than 1mm or play - scary!)I need someone to invent a drill bit honing guide, so I can sharpen mine on sharpening stones. I don't understand how people do it by hand - after watching every single YT video on the subject!A right angle impact driver. For my portable tool kit!...And much more... None of which I'm going to get! :)

Miter saw or metal-cutting chopsaw? Because you said hacksaw...For a tenth of the price, I highly recommend a Japanese saw. I won mine almost 3 years ago in a contest and still use the original blade and LOVE it!!And for cutting straight, I made a fairly simple magnetic guide that holds it straight while cutting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDGZmSuTRfE

Bikes contest!

I love this idea - you have my vote!Is there any reason you decided to make the front jaw the moving jaw, instead of the rear jaw? My homemade vise also had a similar problem (#1 you wrote in step 10)If you use a stainless steel bolt, you can leave your vise out in the rain without worrying that it'll rust! And while I don't know how well hot glue adheres to cutting board plastic long term, I suppose you could reinforce it with aluminum pins and epoxy - if epoxy even sticks to this plastic, and aluminum, to keep it rust proof :)BTW I've added your Instructable to my ultimate collection of homemade vises: https://www.instructables.com/id/Make-Your-Own-Be...

1. Find an image on Google of the most adorable puppy you can find, and make an ad on a craigslist type site that you're selling it, but put his/her phone number!2. Enjoy having people call him/her every 10 minutes wanting to buy a puppy he doesn't own! If he/she is good with technology make sure it can't be traced back.3. Report back with the results :)

1. I love the sellers, that when I ask them a question about the item they're selling, they politely suggest I should but the item and then let them know - WHAT!2. There's a really weird scam I've seen several times with new sellers (DON'T BUY! https://www.ebay.com/itm/EPOXY-RESIN-1-Gal-kit-CR...) like this one where they sell a high value item for a very low price, then when you buy the item, the listing gets canceled - and they make no money! I don't understand what the point is. I found a listing selling 2 drill batteries for half the price of 1, and as expected out of curiosity, the listing was closed by eBay and the seller didn't get paid.3.

Sometimes I receive an item late and after getting a refund, but I still would like to pay the seller to be fair, though.4. You might hear mostly bad stuff about eBay, but overall I've found amazing products for almost nothing, for example, this flashlight (https://www.ebay.com/itm/142985346756?var=441952945880&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 #11) is insanely bright, has a side lamp, and is worth every penny.

*Insanely bright, then I realized I was over-charging my 18650s to 4.3v :)The zooming function is super useful. Done... what is this, an ad?

I think that would take forever...

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=lipo+beep&_o...Tried any of these?

Best photography I'ble I've ever seen! The difference between the last set of bird pictures in step 12 is incredible!

It can take time sometimes, on the weekends too I think. Maybe in the meantime try to improve the thumbnail so it's lit better, the thumbnail is kind of dark.

You can also drill a hole the correct size through a piece of plastic and screw a grub screw into the side of the rotary tool threads, if you're in a hurry :)

Check out Rulof Maker's channel on Youtube, he has a few interesting projects.

I think this should be pinned to the top of the forums page!

Pretty much no matter what I do, my chisels turn out about as sharp as a wrench. I need a belt grinder!

If you or anyone else ever wants to try in the future, it's the easiest IMO on a smartphone with the Actiondirector app, I edit all of my videos with it.Film each part individually (start with a small project because this can be tedious in the beginning) then the editing app combines all of the short videos into one long one. You can then speed up the action by 2-8x the speed with a click of a button. Then you export the video and send it straight to Youtube!It's the most user-friendly app, confusing in the beginning, but then it's always the same repetitive actions which are what makes editing long videos to boring!!

A smartphone is a box with a screen, that people look at while walking, occasionally causing them to crash into poles. It's fun to watch!

I like using these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282692959417?var=5819189...Hope this helps.

Make storage for the sandpaper on the side of the cart?

So I just finished replacing a tire on my (2 week old :) bike.After puncturing it, and it was REALLY close to exploding.After flying off of the bike, that is.After trying to launch off of a large rockAfter setting up my camera to film a shot of me messing around with my homemade bike hornAfter making a horn for my bike.Flying face first onto the ground off of a rock, and of course, it was all caught in video!So what did you say you were talking about...? ;)

I posted this a year ago, is it not working again?

I also have a brass wool (probably also stainless steel in a disguise) and it works much better than sponges.

Nope.

I'm glad you liked it. I actually lost it a few months ago and am planning on making a new one. Really all I have to say is what I wrote in the Instructable.

Great idea!!

Heat shrink tubing to prevent rust, and polish the metal to make it extra slippery for any thief trying to cut it with a hacksaw, it'll feel harder to cut because the blade will slip right off!

And the manly version... It's not a constellation necklace...It's... a Self-Defense Faux Bike Lock(<this) Tactical Micro-Chain Neck ToolSame exact thing, just a branding difference ;)Now off to continue researching buying a bike lock without getting distracted with your interivew with Donald Bell...

eBay. But make sure do a little research so you don't get scammed because it looks like those are worth quite a bit of money (I mean a few average yearly salaries!)! Maybe you could even arrange local pickup.I have no idea where you're located, but from D35m's comment below, you're from Austrailia? If you aren't too far from him, I would contact Dave Jones from the EEVblog on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog/about his email is at the bottom of the page. He loves going through old workshops and buying a ton of junk, he has a few videos on it too...Or were you referring to Bangladesh the (obvious) country, I thought for a second there was a city in Au called Bangladesh... Whatever...

Perhaps too accurate... She PM'd me, I clicked and risked virusifying (now it's a word) my computer but clicked off because there were too many questions... If she was a long-time member it would probably be different, though...

Try a sharp razor like knife and scrape it off

Check out Shapeways, a 3D printing service that ships to your door!You can even print metals!

See this

From 1:19, it was supposed to embed with a code that makes it starts then...

If you need help repairing your mouse and don't want to mess with insides of the actual button switch, you can replace it instead! If you need any help with that I just made a video on the process:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL_lXdbJtO0Let me know if you need any help!

The button probably failed, and needs to be replaced Try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL_lXdbJtO0

If you need a large heat sink, look for a stereo player, they tend to have pretty big heat sinks! Also some desktop computer CPU coolers.

Good point. Don't trust that you'll remember they exist when they spin so fast you might not even see them! Something might happen on the lathe that could make you jump back by instinct, and off goes a finger!

Is it the same if you click on the Pinterest logo at the bottom of any picture of an I'ble, and if you use the Pin extension button thing?

No experience, only a bit of knowledge.If it isn't black PLA, and not in the sun, why would the low melting temp be an issue? It's not like wax, it's still hard plastic...

Do some research, I have no experience working with concrete but I've heard pretty bad things about the humidity inside concrete causing it to explode or crack...

Do you have any constructive criticism?

Yes please!

Did you try using the force?

Super helpful, thanks!

What grit of stone do you use?

Did your tattoo grow back the same after being angle grinder'd? Just wondering :)

You could probably also cover the stainless steel with some thin MDF/masonite board (that can be scavenged off of the back of an old cabinet) to protect it from welding splatter to save time when buffing, no?Sorry if you covered it and I missed it (no pun intended).

I first thought it was solder or some type of soft metal that was cut (once), bent and inserted into the bottle holes, and then bent back and brazed. I think it might be even better if you left it in water for a week and let the ring rust completely. Then it might be less obvious to people that it was cut and welded (not saying that it's obvious, just harder to guess)Also put a bit of tape on the bottle opening and then you don't have to clean it! :)I like these impossible projects!

Did you contact the seller to receive your money back/ discount/ sending it back?Here's another idea: search for one to 3d print on Thingiverse and use a 3d pritnting service to print it and mail it straight to your house.

Here's another idea: you know how there some type of material on the inside of car brake pads, that makes them squeak like crazy so you know to replace them immediately?That could also be added, so the lock makes that horrible high pitched sound if a theif tries to cut it with an angle grinder too!

Agreed!

Oops missed this one.Then it must be a perfectly engineered material instead!

Oh, the plywood ones. See this: https://www.google.com/search?q=spool+projects&saf...or this for maybe more ideas?https://www.google.com/search?q=washing+machine+dr...

Thanks for the update!!

The spool? A belt sander!

Can you try making it with silicone adhesive? If not, try Sugru or Oogoo which is a homemade alternative. I think it'll be better.

I've been trying to think of a method for storing bits on my small drill that I put in my backpack: https://chinacoupon.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/1...It needs to hold bits tightly and not interfere with normal usage. If anyone has any idea that would be great!Also if you're afraid of harming your drill with the magnets, you can use aluminum C-channel if you have any laying around.

Watch out while buying capacitors on eBay!: https://twitter.com/KatsuroKurosaki/status/8811844...

The IKEA site is broken so I can't link it, but I just want to let you know you can also use a $5 pot/pan riser (for a kitchen table... whatever it's called).I bought one to turn it into a scissor lamp a while back.

Or screw it upside-down, so you don't see the screws, if they bother you.

Seems like your motor is disconnected from the throttle/controller/battery.We don't know what you did so we can't tell you what you did wrong...

Search for the arduino class here on Instructables

I like how that veneer looks!

Is the impedance the issue?Could you... Use two amplifiers?!

How about building something like a stereo Bluetooth speaker, but putting one speaker at each side of the car, instead of a boombox enclosure?You can get an amplifier for about $10 on eBay, see the on DIY Perks built on Youtube a while back...

Oh, the irony...

Just to let you know the one you linked has almost as many 1 stars as 5 stars, so it probably isn't that good... And why do 2 cost 5x as much as 1 rivet gun?

What are you making?

Perhaps it isn't a bug...

I just received a message from someone whose account was deleted before I was able to reply, yesterday, did they ask for your email (like mine)?

Need a reason to get offended. Need a reason to get offended!Oh, your vise jaws cost as much as my entire vise!

I made an even better one, check out the video!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDGZmSuTRfE

:)Repurpose or repair? Because you can get salvage a bearing or two from the drum, and a large motor, or if you don't need it, take it apart for two more bearings! Probably also a few other things. I haven't taken apart too many washing machines so far.

I edit my videos on my phone so I don't have that option unfortunately...But I think the issue might be that tool many woodworkers and makers have already gone partially deaf from their loud power tools, and don't even hear the volume spikes! Just listen to Walter Sorrells intro! Jack Houweling! Jimmy Diresta!:)

I suppose... You could also put them in the microwave?

A strobe maybe? Or a relay to a louder alarm/siren?
