In this lesson I wanted to introduce a few new techniques that you might find interesting.

You can make the waste basket watertight by adding a sealant or soldering. The main objective is to teach these skills s...

Note from videographer: In an effort to get the best footage possible I stood on a ladder... what I did not realize, until I was uploading the video, that I had turned the camera sideways, and it has made the screen smaller for a segment.... Also since the sheet metal is so shiny, I try to move around as to not blind the viewers, I do not always achieve that. It is definitely a learning experie...
