Glad you made it! I like your larger sled, I need to make one that's much larger than the one I made here :)

Cousin Earl and I would get along just fine :)

Incredible!

I would love to know the results!

When I applied it to clothing it leaves a slick texture. It's not unpleasant, but certainly not like the original.

Experiment on a scrap of similar fabric before committing to your backpack. Good luck!

It was a stormy night, with only the pale cast of the moon guiding my silhouette across the forgotten graveyard. Rain at my back I sunk the rusty shovel into the mud at the foot of an old tombstone. On the gray slab were a duo of letters etched into the tombstone that read "DJ"; worn, but clearly legible. The digging took hours, with much debris that had covered the open grave from years of neglect prolonging the effort - mostly electrical wires, a few Edison boards, and a lone Raspberry Pi with a few arcade buttons still excellently soldered together in a macabre digital daisy chain. Late into the night my shovel finally hit casket. Drenched and exhausted, I opened the casket and summoned strength to read the old scriptures passed down from long ago: "Deus Ex Radio Shacka". In a flash ...

Late into the night my shovel finally hit casket. Drenched and exhausted, I opened the casket and summoned strength to read the old scriptures passed down from long ago: "Deus Ex Radio Shacka". In a flash I has resurrected the ghost of DJ. A flesh and bone apparition of what was once a pile of dust and SD cards. "Will you help me one last time, friend?", I asked. "I will" he said with a solemn nod.And with that we started workshopping ideas. Plans were hatched, prototypes scuttled, and eventually a project emerged. Before the next full moon the rotating TV was installed and documented. At the stroke of midnight DJ disappeared in a bright spark, like shorting out a car battery on a hastily planned Caraoke setup. "Thanks, buddy", I said to the space where DJ stood. And, that was the end for our brief partnership.It's been a few years since DJ helped me with the Rotating TV, but I've seen him a few times since. The thing is that he's actually really easy to return from the dead, you just need to know how to summon him. Sometimes the incantation isn't enough and you need to bribe him with tacos, but it's always worth it. I think a few months have gone by now and I'm due for some graveyard tacos - brb.TL;DR - I dug up the ghost of DJ for one more adventure!

:) thanks!

The one in this project is a replacement for a powered car seat, but there's all kinds of motors that you can get to work assuming you can find a power adapter for them. Windshield wiper motors and power door lock actuators come to mind. You need something that an handle high torque, not high speed.

I solve that problem by falling asleep the moment my head hits the pillow while watching TV, negating both the pain of bent glasses and the benefit or a rotating TV :/

You're never too late to a gin party :)With Triple Sec sounds delicious! I'll have to give that a go...with your label, of course

See Step 14 & 15

If the ink is into the grain of the wood then you're likely going to have to live with it. Any treatments applied to the surface could have unintended results.If you're really brave you can surface plane the top to remove the wood to a clean level, then remark the grid lines. That seems like a lot of work. I'd say embrace the ink and make it part of the story of your vintage cutter :)

Try a small test piece of your cedar before committing to your project. The stain will fade a little over time, like all stains. It should not effect any bug-repelling properties of cedar, and won't attract any new bugs :)Happy staining!

I use 1:1 ratio casting resin, like this.

I actually have had this done for over 2 months and just never got around to posting it. Sorry I wasn't quicker :)Glad you're going to try it. Please share your results!

That's a smart idea! Please share your results.

Glad you like it :)

With your proposed method you wouldn't have the tops of the cables encased, and you would also need to sand the entire surface to get a clear finish since the saw will leave tool marks.It's an interesting idea. If you give it a go I'd love to see the results!

I got you. Check out Step 6There needs to be room on either side of the work that is going to be planed to allow for chips to go when planing. Missing this step will result in your planing area getting clogged, or spitting chips all over the place (which will happen anyway - this is just makes it much worse). I usually leave about a finger's width on either side.

Added! It's at the bottom of the intro step :)

I don't bother. I've been using these for about 3 months now and they look the same as the day I took them off the printer. Even if there were something growing on/in the razor blades don't touch the PLA. If this ever became an issue, I could reprint them, it only takes about 40 minutes.

Yes, that will work! Check in the comments below, there's someone who did just that :)Good luck!

My project was incredibly dangerous, more a proof of concept (and, I was interested in the results). A commercial unit is a much better idea :)Your results look great! Food science is so neat

Four hundred twenty :)

Finally! I'm not alone in my love of novelty size paperclips :)https://www.instructables.com/id/giant-paperclip-c...

I work in a shared shop space, so it's definitely a bonus of where I work.For this table, I don't think you have to buy the wood to make it effective. Loads of furniture places and shops toss smaller waste wood of all kinds that could be milled to use in a project like this. Even with all the scrap I had at my disposal, I still had to buy the walnut for the corners.

Wood glue is incredibly strong when glued along the grain of the wood. Often, the wood will fail before the glue bond. This table has absolutely no trouble holding my adult male weight. If you make a stool like this you will need adequate depth so the glue has plenty of surface to bond to. I'd love to see your version when it'as finished. Please share photos! :)Happy making!

Mysterious and majestic :)Thanks for sharing, enjoy the Pro Membership!

Love those dark color swirls. Great work!Thanks fro sharing pictures of your hydro dip. Enjoy the Pro Membership!

I love the idea of the code being broken up like that, very clever!Thanks for sharing a picture, enjoy the Pro Membership!

To access my router you'd have to be within range of my WiFi and have access to the QR code, which means you need to know where I live and have been a guest inside to scan the code. This barrier means that I'd have to know you (and trust you) before you'd have access. Once connected, I suppose you could snoop to see traffic on the router. It's about as secure as using any public WiFi portal (Starbucks, McDonald's, the library). I guess it depends on your level of security. Great question! :)

Great question! It's square acrylic cut on the table saw, using the same methods as cutting the wood frame.

I don't think a table saw is out of reach for DIY. All of this can be done either with a handheld circular saw, or by hand. The takeaway here isn't the methods to create the piece, but to inspire you to create your own variation. Check your area for a makerspace/hackerspace, or community lab/garage. There's plenty of options out there for makers without the space or means to access bigger tools. Good luck!

Unfortunately, yes. Maybe you could cycle your passwords and just put them in storage for a while?Luckily, for my home network, I don't update my password (for better, or worse) :)

Looks great! The pip stencil is a genius idea, thanks for sharing it. Loving that picture, enjoy the Pro Membership!

Without preserving the meat, it will have a refrigerated shelf-life of only a few days. Smoking cooks the meat, and can be kept refrigerated for about a week. I wrote all about smoking meat here: https://www.instructables.com/lesson/Smoking-Meats/

The download is listed as an .STL file extension. You should be able to just click on the link, or right-click to "save as". Do you have a browser setting that prevents downloading?

This is correct. I deliberately left these codes readable to see who would scan them (you win!). Since it's for my home WiFi I want these codes to be used. :)

Looking great! I'll be doing my own tests with a laser soon, I'm glad you shared your results!Thanks for sharing a picture of your QR Coaster, enjoy the Pro Membership!

Fixed! :)

"Default units in Tinkercad is millimeters - perfect for precision" The resolution is defined by the printer settings. But, we agree that the metric system is the best!

You'll want to make the sled as robust as possible. I had a short span, so I wasn't worried about deflection. I'd love to see your if you make it!

I think using resin with this method won't produce the results you want. Not only will it make a huge mess (it'll seem messier than just sawdust), but there's also a risk of burning the resin from friction. Also, you'll need to finish each one by sanding it back to clear again. If you do you resin, that should be the final step.

This took me an hour total to design and print. I could probably achieve something similar using your suggestion. Since I'm already handy in the shop fabricating things with my hands, the goal here was get deeper into digital design and new ways to make things (3D printing).Posting here is really just a way to see what you guys can come up with that's better than my design, whether that fabricated digitally or with traditional methods. If you made one usisg the method you described I'd love to see it!

Great work! Smart thinking adding an opening to remove the ties when you're ready. I love itThanks for sharing, enjoy the Pro Membership!

Looking great! If you continue this class there are a few more projects you can try, the final one for the class is the log table (https://www.instructables.com/id/Capstone-Project-Log-Table/), it will be a challenge. Good luck, and thanks for sharing your great work here!

Pro tip, thanks!

Thanks! I'd love to see your version if you snap a picture :)

The smell dissipates in less than 24 hours

Good point, and you're definitely not a hater. However, this is a professional apron and the ties are not long enough to tie in the front, probably because I work in a shop and ties in the front introduce an ensnarement hazard. I think there's still merit for cooking aprons that do tie in the front, as a magnetic clip is easy to pull off with messy hands.Many solutions to a not-so-serious problem :)

Jelly. I don't have an Instructables apron! :)I'd love to see pictures when you're done

Thanks! The only way to get better at something is to practice :) I need to be better at 3D design and thought this was a nice and easy way to try out some ideas.

Probably hand washing only. I wash and wax my shop apron every few years or whenever it's particularly nasty :)(https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Wax-Your-Clothing-and-Gear/)

That's an even better idea than mine! Someone should make it just like this.

The real tips are always in the comments. Good looking out! :D

Deal!

Overall I'm very happy with the table, but given the weight and the small amount of shear material stabilizing it in the long dimension, it wobbled more than I was comfortable with. ...A good way to build it might be to have eight casters- four where you see them in the pictures, and another four at the outside corners.A piano dolly design might be one approach to help stabilize the table; a low rigid frame with three casters. The frame would help with racking, and the less points of floor contact mean less wobble. Also, this is the kind of thing I need in my shop! May I exchange a hamburger lunch for help in Fusion360izing a smaller one for my tabletop planer/jointer space hogs?

Beefy screws: The largest diameter screws that would fit into the vise clamp openings. The length was about 1/4" short of where they would protrude out the other side. Plank size: That's right, but you could use any size that suits your need. Just make sure they are uniform in size. Hand router to chamfer? Yes, use whatever tool you have on hand. You could even just hand sand off the hard edge if you like.Epoxy type: I used the 2-part epoxy. Look for a type that can bond between metal and wood (it will say on the back of the epoxy packaging). Good luck!

That looks SO GOOD!Thanks for sharing a picture, I'm glad you finally finished it :)Enjoy the Pro Membership!

This is fantastic! Great application, and I love the colors.Thanks for sharing pictures of your great work, enjoy the Pro Membership!

Loads of finishes can be applied after staining with tea. However, always test the process on scrap or in an incospicuous area before committing to the final piece. Good luck!

FANTASTIC!Thanks for sharing photos of your creation, it looks great! Enjoy the Pro Membership.

In the video you'll see that I only use a small amount of hot glue to hold down the plank while routing the top. A flat head screwdriver is used to pry it off the workbench, then a sharp chisel is used to scrap off the dried glue.

That's some tight deviation. Nice job!As an impatient man myself, I understand your struggle to wait for glue to dry :)Thanks for sharing a picture, enjoy the Pro Membership!

A marine grade waterproof 2-part is exactly what I would use for your application. Anything less, you're risking water damage. I'd love to see your results, if you want to share a picture :) Good luck!

Looking good! Thanks for sharing a picture of your coasters :)Enjoy the Pro Membership!

Have you checked out my Instructable on making and using a router planer? Chip out like this is discussed in Step 11.

The set up looks right; did you use it on the handle of your knives? It's hard to tell from those pictures. Thanks for sharing your shots, enjoy the Pro Membership! :)

FANTASTIC! The capacitive button is a smart addition, and placing it on the heart is adorable :)Thanks for sharing pictures of your amazing build. Enjoy the Pro Membership!

Love that design, and it came out looking great!Thanks for sharing a photo, enjoy the Pro Membership!

Looking sharp!Thanks for sharing a photo, enjoy the Pro Membership!

Those are nice choices of wood, I really dig the colors!Thanks for sharing a photo, enjoy the Pro Membership!
