Speaker Crossover & Hand-Wound Inductor Coil Made From Trash - Extremely Temporary Prototype!
Просмотров 934 тыс.6 лет назад
Bill attempts to recreate the low frequency section of a JBL 3110A crossover using trash. Specifically the degaussing wires, large electrolytic capacitors, and ceramic resistors from junked CRT television sets. He manages to finagle and secure a 15” Dayton Audio RSS390HF-4 driver inside of a JBL 4560 cabinet in order to run some frequency response tests. Using free Room EQ Wizard software, a 4-...
How to Fix an SD Card with a Missing Lock Switch
Просмотров 67 тыс.6 лет назад
The entire lock switch on my most beat up old SD card disappeared without a trace. I couldn't write to the card anymore, and each time that I tried it showed an error on my computer. To replace the missing lock switch I used a plastic butter tub, a pair of scissors, and a dab of glue. This whole fix only takes a few minutes. Make sure that the new block in place of the lock switch is firmly glu...
Cut and Assemble Triangle Shelves
Просмотров 61 тыс.6 лет назад
My sister-in-law had a request. She wanted triangular shelves. I imagined how to build them using some power tools and shipping pallet wood. My method was to cut three equal lengths of wood and then trim each edge at a 60-degree angle. When I looked at other examples later, I saw that it is much more common to cut opposing 30-degree edges when putting together triangular shelves. Explore more f...
DIY Sun Funnel - Safe Solar Eclipse Viewer
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.6 лет назад
A sun funnel is a quick and easy way for a group of people to see a live image of the sun together. It acts as a projector, and fits right over the eyepiece of many telescopes. Bill built one for free, using junk that was hanging around the workshop, for the upcoming North American solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. The instructions used were from a PDF provided by NASA. eclipse2017.nasa.gov/sit...

Mad Max Cyclone Dust Collector Build - Part 1
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.6 лет назад
Three weeks ago, Bill didn’t know what dust collectors were. Now he’s done the math, built a full scale paper mockup, and is ready to form some sheet metal. Using nothing but upcycled trash that he’s scavenged from only the finest of scrap heaps, together with a few tools, it all comes together into a working chip separator that is sized specifically for a wet/dry vacuum. What he didn’t realize...
Neighbor Kids Started a Grass Fire with Fireworks - Cedar City, Utah - July 6, 2017
Просмотров 10 тыс.6 лет назад
I heard some loud bangs while I was working on a project in my workshop at about 9:30 p.m. I walked outside to investigate and saw a kid panicking because their firework had started the super dry grass on fire, two houses over. It was spreading fast, and it was way too long before they could find a 5 gallon bucket to try and fight it. I sprinted for my phone, dialed 911, and gave the location /...
Making a Lathe Gouge from a Shock Absorber
Просмотров 29 тыс.7 лет назад
Bill makes lathe gouge using upcycled materials that he had laying around (AKA junk). He takes a rear strut from a Nissan 280ZX, cuts it up, grinds on it, and emerges in the end with a very handy tool. As a finishing touch, he uses the bare piece of steel to turn it’s own pallet-sourced hardwood handle. Don’t worry, the car was euthanized humanely in order to improve the braking of a Datsun 510...
Quick and Easy Belt Sander Jig From Scraps
Просмотров 194 тыс.7 лет назад
Bill made a simple and handy jig for the workshop. This one holds a portable belt sander and transforms it into a stationary edge sanding station. The project started off with an old Craftsman 3" belt sander and some leftover scraps. With a little imagination and some exact approximations, we're left with a very, very useful way to transform an existing power tool. Explore more from Tiny Little...

    how anyone does this without getting glue all over the place and ruining it is beyond me. Either its not enough and it wont stick or is too mich and squeezes out all over. besides its almost impossible to get the glue under the surround once the other side is glued because it just does not pull up. also noticed everyone showing this with big speakers but nobody shows it with 6 inch speakers for a reason.

    Did my JBLs. Undermounted the surround, as they originally were. Coil very close tolerance, could not easily slip in a playing card shim. Shimmed one, skipped it in the other. No difference. Both sound better than ever. $25 investment was way worth it.

    Tiny little workshop about to turn into the zero finger workshop, your way to comfortable with your hands close to your miter saw, your jointer, and well you probably get your fingers to close to the table saw to, idc how much experience you have, your regards to saftey looks to be none existent. I would never ever in a billion years use a jointer with out the fence or with out the blade gaurd, and I would never in a billion years get my hands with in a about 8inches or so to my miter saw, one kick back is all it takes and your gonna end up in the hospital. If you give your self more room between your hands and any spinning blade, the odds of you reacting fast enough to get your hands out of danger will be much higher then if your hands were closer to the blade. Unless your part robot and have millisecond reaction time your doing it all wrong, sorry for the rant but it just grind my gears to see people using these vary dangerous tools wrong!

    Adding a passive heatsink to the affected overheating components ( dts chip is always the issue here ) would have solved your issue. No fan required. DO NOT do what this guy did.

    I know this is an old video but wanted to tell you I appreciate the video. I thought with my bad eyes and worse motor skills I'd never be able to cut it so small much less glue it in place. So I put a piece of tape over the whole notch. Worked like a charm. Now I can still make it read-only if ever I wanted to. Thanks for getting me on the right track.
