Making new stamps and ink pads for old mechanical stamps
I fixed up some old mechanical stamps by replacing the stamp itself and refurbishing the ink pad. So much fun!
The stamps were made by hand carving from a pink carving block with a lino cutter and by laser cutting a rubber sheet specifically made for the laser.
For the ink pads, I removed the old interior and used double sided tape to stick some felt in there. Add some stamp ink (you can buy refill bottles at the stationary store) and you're done!
The beautiful exacto knife I'm using is by Ergo Kiwi: ergokiwi.com/

Making a changing robe | Summer sewing project
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 lety
Swimming in a lake is great, but there's no changing rooms. So when I spotted someone with a changing robe, I just had to make one! It's pretty straightforward, since it's just a large rectangle of fabric with a neck hole cut into it and sewed closed at the sides. This is a very simple sewing project, great for beginners. I sewed it up in the morning and went swimming that same afternoon! Ways ...
Making a camping kitchen
zhlédnutí 4,8KPřed 3 lety
I needed a camping kitchen for in my tent, and wanted something easy to carry and set up. So I took inspiration from an old chest my grandpa used to hold camping gear in his car. Based on this design, I made four crates, with some small adjustments to make them more usable for my particular situation.

How to glue up a puzzle without a backer board | Tutorial
zhlédnutí 456KPřed 3 lety
Most jigsaw puzzles I take back apart when I finish them, so that I can do them again another time. This one was particularly difficult though, and the image is from one of my favorite painters, so I decided to hang it on the wall. I've seen people frame puzzles or glue them onto a backer board, but I really wanted to see if I could glue just the pieces together. That way it's really just a puz...
Making a TV cabinet out of old crates

Making a Plywood Bookcase / Roomdivider

I've been wanting a bookcase for in my apartment for a while now and I also needed a room divider.

It's so even and stable, without any internal tension or other issues. It was also the first time I used sanding seale...

How to make a weighted blanket | Sewing project

Weighted blankets are supposed to help with restlessness, anxiety and sleep. Originally developed for people with special needs, like autism, they are becoming more and more mainstream. They can get pretty pricey, but thankfully making your own is fairly straightforward. I was overly ambitious and made the compartments for the filling beads really small, but you can get away with much bigger on...

    Redoing the stamps was a great idea! That "postmark" idea would be great if you wanted to make some WW2 Memorabilia, postcards or similar

    This is brilliant. I was halfway through the process and couldn't for the life of me think of a solution for the overlapping pieces of hood. I love the pleats placed away from the zip. That's an excellent solution. Thank you.

    Beste puzzelaars, Kan een van jullie mij misschien wat informatie geven? Ik heb de volgende vragen: 1. Hoe lang houdt zulke lijm? Hoe lang blijft alles netjes vastgeplakt zitten voordat alles weer uit elkaar valt? 2. Vergeelt de lijmlaag niet na een paar jaar? 3. Hoe reageert goud op lijm? Ik heb een bijzondere puzzel met stukjes met een glanzende goudkleur. Zou dat dof worden als je deze lijm erop smeert, zou de lijm inbijten? Alvast hartelijk dank voor jullie reacties!

    0:25 The "special" puzzle glue is nothing of "special". It's just "methyl-cellulose", which is (clean) "paper powder". Basically, you're putting a thin paper layer on top of the puzzle, so thin it's almost transparent. The "normal" glue will yellow in time with the sunlight, so I wouldn't recommend using it.

    • @rachavinvitayakovit1408
      @rachavinvitayakovit1408 Před 2 měsíci

      Im not really sure but i think its because theres space between the pieces in greater than the back, it helps with the sturdiness of the puzzle

    Cape sleeves (half-circle) would be perfect for this. More room and more coverage. We may see something from the side through those large sleeve holes.

    You can make the brim insert by painting glue (or cornstarch/wheatstarch/rice starch paste) onto a thick piece of fabric, or a few layers of thin material. Other than that, good video.
