Thank you. This was helpful

1:46 I don't understand the grinding at vertical angle. Doesn't it dull the cutting edge?

I submit there is no such thing as “pre” drilling a hole. A “pre” drilled hole is no hole. It’s either drilled or not.

Thank you.

What if the board has been finished by polyurethane, will it transfered well?

Hahaha dude this is awesome 🤘

What if there's a drywall anchor involved? Ignore it and still use this method?

1 min video that answered my question from first search. THANK YOU 😊

Amazing! Pro advice! Better than measuring and over thinking.

+++++

I think no difference

nice bass traps but the frequencies you are tesing them on are not really what their true designs are supposed to control..

Excellent job here: clarity of info, animations and images, and brevity. 👍🏼

But how do you know the angle to set up at ?? Doesn’t answer my need

can I use this method for masonry walls?

Can this method be applied to drilling into masonry?

Great video! Easy to follow, and the plans are great. One teensy critique: your background music is WAY too loud. I'm trying to hear you talk over it, and have the music blasting away is a bit distracting. Other than that minor quibble, really good!

Super nice graphics bravo!

Hi Bob. Great content for us garage warriors! Question...do you suggest raising the grain before or after staining? You mention before topcoat, but I'm wondering if it should be done before stain as well.

What sandpaper grit ate you using?

I tried this, and for some reason, my print didn't transfer! The toner on paper became soft, but never loose enough to get transferred!

I bought a set of Schaaf as my beginner set and it is really hard to hone right, I think I destroyed its v gouge already by trying to hone😢

Well done! But for me this is too much work and I don't have all the stuff you used to sharpen the shears.

Well don't I feel stupid? Thank you for this easy way to find the right drill bit!

Niiiice.

I can't wait 30 minutes for wood glue to set up.....hot glue.

Super nice video quality and nice craftsmanship. I think the bass trap title is misleading though- bass frequencies weren’t even tested, and based on the little I know about acoustics (I have a home studio), that would not take care of low frequencies. I’m sure it did help with basic room sound reflection and build up in the corners though. Some who are less knowledgeable might go to the trouble to follow your design and discover it still doesn’t help their bass issues much. Looks like some other commenters made similar points.

I remember my grandfather had a basement and workshop full of tools with aged wooden handles. It was like a candy store, a magical place he would take me where we would do guy stuff. I loved that old man. This took me waaaaay back. thx.

Easy if you have tools.

What grit#???

Thank you, helped me a great deal!!!

Thank you

lol at the "push pull" comment. It's 2024 and videos are still coming in handy. Thanks!

same method for concrete?

Great tip, Bob. Can you help me out with some info on cutting an HEXAGONAL shaped pole? I would certainly appreciate the help. Thx very much.

Simple, no glue, no screws, and visual plans: excellent video and design. Thanks.

This could work for a roof?

What angle do you sharpen the cutting edge? Somewhere I read about 80-90 degrees…

Exactly what I was looking for to grow potatoes. The one thing I always add is pond liner to wood boxes. Thank you - going to build today. Oh - and the 2x3s were one dollar cheaper than the 2x2s at Lowes so I bought those instead. GREAT VIDEO !

Put my name on my wife's buttock now....hope she stay still

Very nice.

Which metal is this

This is the best diy basstrap video i ever seen! Thank u ❤

Great video bud!

Interlectually dishonest in that rearly dose someone cut a piece of ply and have if fit exactly 6 cans or what have you across the wideth of it. You either fluked it or did some math which you did not show in order to get this right.

Helpful, thanks!

Small rooms don't have echos. They have reverberation and that's measured with RT60 times and that's a combination of all 6 surfaces.. 4 walls, floor and ceiling. With using hand clapping, that's a fairly narrow bandwidth around 2K Hz. Not exactly a "bass" frequency. I like to use the frequencies BELOW 100Hz as "bass" frequencies, as that's the bottom two octaves on a piano. The second problem is that you're just stuffing an odd shaped "box" with building insulation and sticking it in the corner. Corners represent about 5% of the total surface space in the room, at best. Hardly enough to make a BIG differnce. It will make a difference, but not that much. Building insulation is actually used for thermal insulation for inside a wall in a home to insulate the room from hot/cold weather and to retain a certain tempurature within a room. It can also be used in a wall cavity to reduce the amplitude of noise in the 125hz and above range. Again, NOT "bass" frequencies. Now, with "bass" frequencies, they are PRESSURE based problems and in small rooms, they create what's referred to as PRESSURE modes. In order to absorb low frequency pressure, you need something that is PRESSURE based absorption. Deep cabinets with a front wall that moves with the pressure and filled with a dense, porous materials are the best, those are called Diaphragmatic absorbers, and there's only a few on the market, or you can obtain build plans and make your own. I can point you to a company that sells build plans on the best ones on the market. Mineral wool is more VELOCITY based absorption, and it's not really designed for music and speech. The absorption coefficient curves simply aren't really that great for music/speech applications. While it's cheap and it's widely used by some people, it's not really the best for low frequencies in the 100Hz and below. If you want to reduce "reflections" or what you are calling "echos", that's a reverberation problem, that's a REFLECTION problem and you'll need two things. One, the right material and TWO, LOTS of surface coverage and I would recommend at LEAST 50% surface coverage in the room to get a VERY noticeable difference. I would suggest getting a high quality acoustic foam if you want it to sound good for music/speech applications, but if you just want to cut down the reverberations in the room in your wood shop, then you can do with whatever cheap material that's absorptive and you just make a bunch of panels probably in the 2inch or maybe 3 inch deep range and just do that.

Superbly done. Logically, thoroughly, and concisely presented information with great graphics in a short, to the point, video. If only all of youtube was like this!!!

Excellent explanation

I don’t get it. The drill bit for drilling in to brick it wider at the front. So surely the screw won’t be snug inside the hole. More loose???
