Turning Trash into Bullseyes: Building an Archery Backstop
My daughter got a bow for her last birthday. Sure I could go out and buy a styrofoam target but I'd rather reuse what I already have. A couple old 2 by 4's I pulled out of my house during different renovations and a stack of cardboard I got from my dad. Breathing new life into materials others would trash is a definite hobby of mine. And, of course, I like to make what others might buy. Frugality and self reliance are a good thing in my book.

Stylish Recipe Card Holder

I was thinking earlier today, that when my girls are grown and on their own it would be great to make them a recipe box and give them a copy of all the recipes I have collected. That isn't any time soon, but as I was making this box today, that is what I was thinking about. Recipes hold memories, memories of who you received the recipe from, memories of making food, memories of sharing food wit...

Part 1 of building a Rolling Beverage Cart/Wine Rack. I wanted to get the whole project done before school started back, but the universe had other ideas. Made a wrong cut and ran out of wood. Wife needed surgery and ran out of energy. Didn't make it down to the shop for three days in a row and ran out of time. But! I will FINISH! just not in this video.
Better than a Tripod!
zhlédnutí 377Před rokem
This adjustable camera arm completes the build I started last time. No more TRIPODS! Heavily inspired by Ben from Woby Designs, but I drew up the plans myself (mainly because I'm too cheap to pay $19). Below is a link to Ben's plans if you're interested. And a link to his CZcams video! www.woby.design/shop/the-woby-camera-jig-digital-files czcams.com/video/k4pwaaJQIME/video.html

Investing a bit of time and money in my CZcams channel, I am building a better camera stand so I can ditch the tripod.

    Great, I just made a small adjustment. I predilled 2 holes, front and back of the clothes pin and added 2 small screws with glue to the bottom service. This way when the gun gets tossed into a toys bin or just thrown around, the clothes pin will stay on. Kids are rough with their toys and moms are too when they throw them in the toy box.

    Your straight edge is only holding it at the ends. Wood doesn't work for that unless you make a strongback, but you don't really need it to hold the mirror after you score it. Take the straight edge off after you score it deeply. Tap it from behind on either end to start a crack on your score, then work towards center with tongs. Gently encouraging the crack to break. Either that or score a groove in it, like a serious score, then put it over a straight piece of pipe or dowel. Tap both sides of it with your GLOVED palms and it will break along your score, provided it's a perfectly straight score line. Then polish the edge with 150 and 300 grit to take the edge off. 1/4" is tough for the first time cutting glass. If you have a mounted straight edge, you can score it more than once if you have to, but that's asking for trouble. (It will dull your glass cutter very quickly. Even good ones.) A wetsaw with a glass cutting blade will cut it also. Don't try to DIY tempered glass, but a regular mirror would be fine. Also if it has peel and stick backing, you need to cut that with a razor blade aong your score line. Some cheap imported glass doesn't have conventional silvering, just a vinyl backer.

    Thanks for sharing your plan. Auburn Tiger fan? Building one with a cleat (A. Wilkerson plan). The laminate is a must for my version like yours (dual purpose glue table). Will be attaching left trim to the angle iron cleat and attaching oak trim to the left side of the saw table (Alm Fabrication version). This allows my cleat to extend longer out when the pivot table is lowered.
