Loved the idea of setting router bit depth. With the fence tip, many blades have teeth that are not flush with the blade body (think carbide blades) so that needs to be taken into account. But still, great uses.

Very, very cool. And, yes, i'd agree with you on the shifting, 4th gear is probably not a place you'd want to visit. Still, very cool!

Maybe you should put it in the indoor lighting contest so i can vote for it!

I like your project. I've found that using some kind of resilient channel to mount the sheetrock to the frame will help isolation. Sandwiching a product like Homasote (most home stores) between two sheets of drywall of different thickness (5/8 & 1/2 for example) will help reduce transmission. Using a denser material like Roxul (home stores) rather than regular fiberglass will help (and less itchier too). Since you wanted to save the floors, when you install the wall part put a layer of plastic food wrap on the floor from one side of the door frame to the other and load it up with your green goop and stand the sheetrock in that. Trim it when it's fully dry. Finally, as one poster mentioned much earlier, if you can gently remove the door moldings, there is likely to be an air gap betwee…

Cool! Now, if only you could have it do the flush too...

I voted this just for the sheer audacity of making one. Nice job! Now we wait for the hydraulics...

I'm sure what he meant, but didn't explicitly say, is this: Drill the holes in the newly constructed Frankenstein switch when it's on the workbench. You can use the old switch plate (removed from the wall, of course after the circuit breaker is turned off/fuse removed) as a template to locate the holes. Use longer 6-32 screws from a hardware store or the like to mount the new Frankenstein switch in place of the old switch plate. Then restore the power.

Dude, you are totally whacked! I admire your patience. Nice job in the assembly and the video! Got my vote.

If it was his leg coming through the ceiling, wouldn't that have actually been a (wait for it........) 1 foot hole? Good advice about not cheaping out on the screen.
