The Clapper (Clapboard) - Mikes Inventions
mikesinventions.etsy.com patreon.com/121mike
The Clapboard lets me easily sync my audio and video files. I 3D printed the clapper, but you could easily make yours out of wood and make the stripes with some clever masking tape. The body of the clapper is acrylic so it's dry-eraseable by default. Then I painted the back side white so the marker is legible. That's it. Check it out!

Mike's Quick Tips - #21 - Lathe Holding
zhlédnutí 87Před 2 měsíci
mikesinventions.etsy.com Quick Tip 21 shows you an alternative way you might want to hold something on your lathe. I was stumped for 8 seconds until I saw the solution standing at the other end of the shop. You can use a similar method when you have no other way to hold your workpiece.
Mike's Quick Tips - #20 - Make Your Caulk Fit
zhlédnutí 241Před 2 měsíci
mikesinventions.etsy.com Did you ever run into a situation where your caulk didn't fit? I have several times, and this video shows you a simple way to get your caulk into place where it ordinarily couldn't so that you can easily fill the crack or gap.
Expensive Gift Box - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 241Před 4 měsíci
mikesinventions.etsy.com The Expensive Gift Box is made from two types of wood and holds as decent bit of jewelry or other expensive gifts. I show you how I made it, and the design choices and other obstacles along the way. That's why it's lengthy. I want to make sure you can make one more easily than I did. I hope this helps. The box itself also makes a great gift, but it's certainly better if...
Camera Under Union Pacific Train - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 249Před 4 měsíci
mikesinventions.etsy.com We did this again, 6 years later as part of Alex's birthday. He thought you all might want to see it. So here I am again with something completely off the wall. Some people just love trains and never grow out of it. I've come to appreciate them more since my boys like them. Getting stopped by a train doesn't bother me anymore. This video was shot near the Prairie Spirit...

Porch Screening - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 338Před 5 měsíci
mikesinventions.etsy.com Porch Screening was a good title I thought. Hopefully you agree. I show you how we screened in our back porch. It only cost a few hundred dollars and maybe 20 dad-kid hours to do. This was one of our better home improvements.
SNUBA System 2 - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 754Před 10 měsíci
mikesinventions.etsy.com I seriously upgraded my SNUBA (hookah) system, and it's amazing. It's not really an upgrade, but an entirely new system. I show you how I did it, and some interesting snags along the way. This version uses an old US Divers Conshelf regulator and a McGraw hotdog compressor from Harbor Freight. There's an air-filter inline just in case. Obviously there is probably residua...
FREE Pool Heater - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 11 měsíci
mikesinventions.etsy.com Alex and I made a pool heater out of some copper tubing my grandfather-in-law gave me way back in... 2017? We always wanted to make a solar water heater with it, but we ended up coiling it all up and using it to heat the in-law's pool. We used somewhere between 50 and 100' of 3/8 copper tubing and spiraled it over a steel X frame I welded up out of 1/2" angle iron. The ...
Industrial Pipe Shelf Build - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 613Před rokem
mikesinventions.etsy.com This video shows how I built some shelves out of pipes. It's very easy, but there are a few "gotchas" I wanted to point out. I guess I'll just spoil the fun right here and let you know what they are in case you don't want to watch it all. But why wouldn't you want to, really? Don't loosen pipes once you've tightened them. They get floppy. Make sure all your distances be...
Simple Picture or Book Rails - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 227Před rokem
mikesinventions.etsy.com Simple Picture or Book Rails shows you how I took some cheap MDF and made some nice shiny white picture rails that can also be used for books! The 1/2" MDF strips were cut 2.5, 2.5, and 1.5" wide then glued together with Titebond 3 wood glue. They didn't require any doweling because of their size, which simplifies the build immensely. I did complicate things a bit by ad...
Are There More Stars or Sand? - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 431Před rokem
mikesinventions.etsy.com I've long wondered if there are more stars in the galaxy and beyond... OR are there more grains of sand on a beach? I've watched a lot of Discovery plus, and I often hear astrophysicists make the comparison that stars far outnumber grains of sand on the beaches. Are they right?
Bull Shark Dive Highlights - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 200Před rokem
mikesinventions.etsy.com The end of 2022 was pretty awesome. A week in Playa Mujeres that included several dives. This Bull Shark dive with Aquaworld was the family highlight. Not the first time I'd seen sharks, but the first time I'd seen anything like this. It was incredible. Pictures don't do it justice, and this video gives you about 1/10 the sense of what it was like. Shark diving is somet...
KidAPult - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 502Před rokem
mikesinventions.etsy.com The SLINGSHOT is basically that, except there's really no sling, and no one gets shot this time. They do get "shot", but only in an insanely fun way. It's a bunch of conduit, garage door springs, 550 paracord, bolts, and some new-fashioned ingenuity in the form of 3D printed parts. This is probably my longest-running project. I started buying the conduit in 2011, and ju...
Galaga CRT Screen to LCD Conversion - Mikes Inventions
zhlédnutí 8KPřed rokem
mikesinventions.etsy.com Galaga CRT Screen to LCD Conversion show you how Alex and I replaced the TV-Tube-Style screen on Galaga with an old VGA Acer computer monitor. The original tube went out after 4 decades of use, and we wanted to bring this game back to life, because it's so much fun. So, Alex thought we might convert it to take an old computer monitor. He was right. We bought a controlle...

My tablet still working but its really old
Subscribed when you said, "I'm obsessed with off-grid power." :)
Thanks Mike! This was great!
For anyone wondering, it is possible, but you need a few conditions: 1. Cool the liquid to 2-4 celcius 2. As the ice dissolves shake the bottle for 3 to 5 minutes 3. After that keep it in fridge for at least an hour and you should be good Pro tip, it's better to use plastic bottles filled up to 80% and when dropping the ice squeeze, so the only gas that's inside is CO2.
I sure am and Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I am a total novice. I recently bought (1) a used lawnmower engine power head OEM Lawn Boy model 8243AE, and (2) a used snowthrower engine Toro single stage Tecumseh AH600 1627 to start learning. I appreciate your posting your video.
is your bar clamp 24"?
OR.... you can buy yourself a backup generator
Nice Thanks man
Not sure if this is economic. 15 Sub-C sized Ni-Cd batteries runs about $27 while a brand new pack plus charger runs about $30 (on ebay).
Idk if this is dumb but what would this be used for? It’s cool for sure
this was so incredibly helpful. since i moved into my apartment months ago, my bathroom sink has drained so slowly that it always left a layer of gunk in the bowl, and i finally decided to do something about it. this video helped me remove the stopper (which i didn't realize COULD be removed), and i was able to remove the rat sized hair and gunk ball that the previous tennant left, and now it drains perfectly
Thank you! I did it with your help!!
I'm making a leather Quiver. Mine is 48" tall x 9 inches diameter. I'm here to consider the artistic contributions vs square inches of half hide Veggie tan
HI MIKE IM JOHN I LIKE ICE CREAM AND WARM WEATHER AND SMALL BUGS I GOTTA GO POOP NOW
bro thats an ipad i have an ipad pro
I didn't get the length of As and Bs, Basically any length I want for As and 88.3% for Bs?
Correct. It's only the ratio that matters.
I'd like to make a cone shaped wood table base. Do you have a formula for calculating the cut angles for each piece of wood?
Oh no I don't sadly. I've never needed to do that. Maybe I will some day. Thanks for watching though.
My question can I add solar control to charge batteries
My monitor only has two prongs. Is it still ok to power to the original power wire from old monitor with original transformer still installed?
Oh I know that feeling, I found a Milwaukee M12 3.0 the one with the square bottom from a recycle bin, and I already had salvaged 18650, and I repacked that m12 and use it at work.
I just punch it
i got one that has one 12v battery. i wanted to take the battery out and wire a 12v socket so i can use it in the car.
Radio Shack? Still exist?
it will not last long though, the fire slowly degrades the copper until it starts leaking, I'm using it similar way to warm my house and had to do adjustments and to be less greedy.
I want to know can you make a chainsaw coil work a solenoid
How do you remove the ice tray to get to the ice maker? I have the same model as shown. I don’t want to break it I think it might be frozen to the side. Thanks
Just lift slightly and pull it out. Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! Now my sink works like a dream!!
7 years ago and mike still goatee😂❤
not a complete taking apart
THANK YOU!!!!!
What's the minimum TWR for a rocket to go up 100 meters, 1000 meters ??? Thanks
Mike. Thanks for the video. I was hoping I didn’t need a bearing puller etc. the 2x4 was a great hint. PS Having your son wield a wrench was golden. My son was taking apart toys at 3 and is now an engineer.
Mike, y,our videos are very professional. This is excellent!
Thanks Klaus! Comments like yours keep me motivated to create content. If you're interested in flying, check out my newest, 121.Mike. Thanks for watching!
Excellent!
How are you sir, still making your own beer? Glad I found your channel!
I'm fine, still around, just I haven't made beer in a while. These videos didn't get much traction, so I've spent most of my time lately on 121.Mike. Thanks for watching though. I'll make more videos on here eventually. I have a Kolsch I need to make.
Do you need to shut of the water supply first?
No, this is all on the drain side. Just don't run the sink when you've got it apart.
Отличный аппарат получился)
Thank you! Thank you! Just fixed my 6 year old's tablet screen. Now only 2 more to go! 🫣🙄
You're welcome! Glad this is still useful to people. 2 more to go? I'm sorry...
Thanks big help :)
Is it for kids as well
It could be if dad lets his kids use his tools. I do. They seem to go missing at the same rate, so no big deal.
OK thanks
I did this mod on what I can tell exactly the same UPS. One word of wisdom to share- do not put much load on it without also doing a fan mod. Mine overheated after around an hour, shut off and never worked again. I did not place more load on it than it was rated for, but I think the assumption by their engineers is that the duty cycle will be limited due to the limited duration of the included batteries.
I tried to do this but my ups got an error of f06, please help
A helpful tip. For front tire you don't need to remove the wheel. You only need to turn the wheel so the puncture is visible.
Yeah, I wish that were the case, I wasn't strong enough to ream it without putting my whole body into it. I've done this many times since and now I just use a drill to ream the hole if I'm at home. Much easier! Thanks for watching!
very very very nice..thanks br
Sorry for necroposting on this, but this is *exactly* the sort of thing I need for the small game parts I am cutting out on the table saw. They are made from oak and I am currently doing a test run in a (tiny) rock tumbler, but I was wondering if you needed to add sandpaper or something to this for hardwoods or does it "just work" after a while?
Watching this video helped me clean all my stoppers and sinks in the house plus it helped get an earring that fell right between the rod and trap!
I noticed that that Dome radius is the golden ratio
Pero las nuevas celdas samsung que compraste son de las mismas caracteristicas que las originales? Tienen que ser de alta descarga para que no se sobrecalienten
Thank you so much for posting this video. My little brother‘s iPad screen is cracked and now me and my dad can fix it.
