Sorry I missed this! You can use a small amount of lubricant, if needed. But make sure you clean it off well before painting. Brute force is also necessary some times.

Thanks!

Thank you!

The tubes are rated for 600v applications, non-conductive, flame retardant, and intended for permanent connections. With the interior adhesive, which heat seals the connection, I've never had one come undone on a vehicle that bounces around. While I wouldn't use one for the final connection to the house line, as I need to be able to disconnect the light down the road, these are great for the interior connections. If you have to try and undo one of these connections, you can see they are more secure than many other methods.

Thank you!

The light weighs 8 pounds and is secured using the same screws for a 20 pound fan. The box it’s attached to is rated for up to 50 pounds.

It weighs 8 pounds.

While there may have been a good time to share this item and speak of its use to keep larger dust and wood shavings out of the mouth, it’s highly irresponsible to post such a things and imply there is any benefit to preventing a spread of the Coronavirus. Shameful that Instructables put this in their email. You should do the right thing and pull this down. The information you included directly conflicts with guidance and facts from both the CDC and World Health Organization.

Wish I had it to send! I made it from scrap cardboard I had at the time, but didn’t keep it. The easy way is to hold the cardboard in place over the whole wheel section, then trace from below. After that, it’s just some minor adjustments. The time consuming part was making the adjustment cuts.

Love it! I’ve been watching for something like this I could build my son. This is perfect!

I’ll bet the pups sure do enjoy this! Did you consider using a solar powered attic fan? Would allow you to have it outside without any worry of the elements damaging it. Perhaps a future upgrade. ;-)

While very time consuming, that’s something fantastic to have made! Clever idea! You have me thinking about an idea for my home state of WA and I could use a skill saw to do it. Love the finished product. Bravo!

Nice accent to the kitchen. I’m a fan of the stain choice! It’s not too overpowering, but makes it stand out just enough.

I turned two logs into end tables, so I sympathize with all the sanding required to get a level surface! Nicely done!

It is a CRV. Unfortunately ours did not include a shelf.

There are connect points for a shelf, but it’s an option you have to purchase. This was far cheaper than buying a manufacturer or OEM item.

Had originally planned to use a piano hinge. But wanted the option of having only one or both in, as needed.

A shelf from the manufacturer is an option, but didn’t come standard, unfortunately.

Thank you!

I considered glueing it when my original thought was to carpet both side and hinge the two pieces. Once I chose to not do the hinge, glueing became unnecessary. The staples hold it tight enough you don’t know the difference on top.

Spar varnish would be great for this! I have a 30 year old bench made by my dad, which had spar varnish applied. Just gave it a light sanding and reapplied two coats and will easily get another 30 years out of it.

Impressive work! What a great gift for your daughter!

Thanks! Yes, I already have a list of toy ideas!

Looks great! So many memories of playing with my Tonka truck!

I’m with you on the look of the 4x4! What total length is needed for one chair? I followed your link, but it only says “5” in the material list.

Looks delicious! We lived in Washington state and I loved picking blackberries for jam and desserts.

Thanks! I can tell the finger prints my dad left were not intentional, but finding them was such a joy. Nice to leave such memories for our kids.

I can't even describe how impressed I am with this! Amazing detail and quality! Well done.

Love the contrasting wood colors! Sophisticated looking!

Amazing attention to detail. Ever consider using a translucent material, in place of the brass, so the stars can be lit up?

I like the fact it’s portable, so I can move it around the yard if needed. Nicely done!

What a great upcycle project! Never knew there were so many layers inside a skateboard!

Here you go! Great project! Love the unique look. https://entropyresins.com/

Nice looking! Have had the same issue of the grain looking different after using varnish. Give polycrylic (satin finish, not gloss) a try next time. I find it keeps the grain's contrast and is easy to clean up with water.

Clever! Now add a remote with steering controls. lol

Sorry for the late reply! Didn't see this before. The pipe pieces were about $120, paint approx. $12, stain approx. $12, and polyurethane $8. The workbench top was $200. You can go pretty cheap on the desk surface if you don't want something that looks like butcher block.

Looks great! Fun project from a fantastic show!

This is the one I saw in use. https://www.noisemeters.com/product/soundear/classic/hospital.asp

Fun project! Maybe I missed it, but did you seal the wood? With so much moisture around the top of a fish tank it would prevent mold.

Those look great! Also, never been so amused while reading an instructable. Fun gifs!

I like the look of having the bolt heads show on the top. Something to consider is pre-painting the joining brackets and staining the wood before you join the pieces. Requires a little more caution in the rest of the built, but adds to the finished look.

Nice to see someone enclose their hardware and not have a mess of hardware and components.

Fun light for a garage or man cave. Don't have any welding skills, but always wanted to make a chain lamp with the chains curving in a double helix. Perhaps you can show us how it would be done. ;-)

Cool looking! Can you apply this to large surface areas, like a desk or counter top? Would be cool to see it on a finished cutting board or coffee table.

Clever! Saw a similar concept in the critical care section of a hospital, where a series of red lights got brighter if staff were talking too loud in the hall.

Looks fantastic! Quite jealous!
