Great idea. I agree with you, the things you use the most, are the things you like the most. And when it is selfmade and -designed, it is twice as good. Thanks again for this extraordinary idea in this contest.

This is definitively one of a kind. I indeed like it very much and it made me smile this morning.

Yes, I remember starting tapping on empty laundrydetergent powder barrels/boxes as a child, building a kind of a drum kit out of it. It was so much fun.

The vinyl records only act as the base, the surface, the carrier of the piezo disc. The vinyl by itself produces only a "tok, tok, tok" when you strike it. The piezo disc on the backside triggers/leads the strikes to the trigger/sound module. Within the module I've refered a particular sound to the piezo input and that is what you hear. The piezo sound is digital generated; the actual analog sound by striking the vinyl surface produces only noises. Therefore you need a trigger/sound module for this kind of piezo build's in my opinion. I my "DIYRainbow Canvas Pad - How to Make Sound With a Rainbow Colored Canvas andPiezoelectric" you can watch a "Behind the scenes" Video. This is transferable to the sound the vinyl actually makes.

I recommend using a trigger module to get a good sound quality. If you can afford it I think the trigger module is a good choice for a lot of sound varieties. I hope you will try it.

Thankyou very much. I just have as much fun making this little videos as making thepads.

Thank you. I was so sad misplacing the old one and so glad I had the idea to make one on my own. I already have some ideas for new designs.

In my understanding I would say every strike sends a signal to the trigger module. The recognized intensity of the strike is adjusted by the sens and threshold in the module's trigger settings. If the threshold isn't set correctly you will receive double/multiple triggers by just one strike or no triggering.

Thank you. I followed your suggestions. Frist I've sandwiched the piezo between two pieces of a harder material (because the material of the pad is very soft, too soft!) - without success. Than I re-soldered the connection to a different part of the inner disc and sandwiched it again - same wrong results, unfortunately. Because of the soft pad material and thin leather cover (contact glued together) I decided to start over again with a more harder, solid foundation. This is part of the learning process, I guess.

Thank you very much.I'm still working on the sound recording and sound editing . I usually onlyaccompany the videos with background music; mostly made in Reason 10. TheReason sounds are so great in my opinion.

Hello Mr. Ham,thank you for youkind words. Your sandal/slipper pad looks very interesting. I've already made afood pad, but unfortunatly it doesn't work. The sound tests have been OK, butafter the final assembly it puts out none or multiple sounds, maybe I've damagedthe piezo disc. I've already taken it appart as carefully as possible and nowI'm trying to find out what went wrong. I will document this process as well and will upload it if this thingfinally ever works proper. I will go on!Bye, alleshochladen

exquisitely extraordinary - love it!

Super creative!

Such a beautiful and lovely paper dress you've made! A fantastic idea, perfectly realized.

Always a pleasure: a perfectly tempered Früh Kölsch and your instructable as well. Tolle Idee, super gemacht!

Well done! Ich finde die Idee sehr gut. Ich selbst trinke nur Milch aus Tetra Paks (die leider nicht so schön bunt sind) und werde das demnächst ausprobieren, in der Hoffnung, den Karton richtig sauber zu bekommen, um Gerüche zu vermeiden. Ob ich die "Stapelreling" drucken werde, weiß ich noch nicht, aber die Idee ist ebenfalls toll. Alles in allem: Ein sehr gelungenes Instructable. Viel Glück im Contest; meine Stimme hast du.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Well done (the covers and the instructable). I think that's what it is all about: to motivate, inspire and make someone happy. That is worth the work and in your case turned out very nice.

Your're welcome. The questions and discussions are helping me to make my instructable better; revealing errors or omissions. The response so far is way more I've expected. So, I thank you.

Yes, 2 mm

Thanks

Like TechDeals always says: Good question. Glad you asked.Believe it or not: That is exactly what I've askedmyself yesterday evening after finishing the close-up video. When I did theinstructable in october last year the idea didn't came up to me.It isn't very easy to hold the pieces because the leather sometimes hasit's own will. I guess it would have been less time-consuming. But that's theinteresting part in my opinion: There ist no "only right way" to do this. It is just one ofmany ways. There is always a learning curve and a motivation to find a more efficientoption.Please let me know if your idea worked better.

I've made a close-up video. Maybe you find this helpful.

Thank you very much. I've made a close-up video. Maybe you find this helpful.

I've added two pictures with the measurements. BUT: At least the length depends on the thickness and stiffness of your leather. Take a longer piece and wrapp it around the twirly strand so many time you like it, maybe 3 or 4 times. Finish the knot by pulling the long side through the loop. Cut off the expendable part. Open the knot and you have your perfect length. This piece will be your reference.

Well, well, what a glittering assemblage. This is stunning! I love the movie, the character, Angelina and of course your costumes (incl. the knight) as well.You've combined so many different materials and work processes - that's remarkable.

Thank you very much. I am overwhelmed by the positive response.

Thank you very much. I am overwhelmed by the positive response.

Thank's a lot. I hope you will find a way to replace the acrylic paint.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Thank you very much. Honestly, I've tried this the first time and was surprised how realistic it turned out.

Thank you very much for you kind comment.
