Radio Knob Mold Part 3 - Silicone Mold Making - Squirreland
zhlédnutí 255Před 4 měsíci
Today I made a simple silicone mold of a vintage radio knob. Some molds that I make are odd shapes and it would be very difficult to measure the exact amount of silicone needed to mix so I can complete that particular mold. When I pour silicone for a project in my shop, I generally have one or two smaller molds nearby in which to pour any excess silicone. Silicone is expensive and there is no r...

I could use this on old pins take the plastic off liquefie nylon plastic inject it in the mold bam new plastic coating on a old pin.
Realy thanks sir. Best wishes for you.
If I am using a motion sensor to activate the solenoid, how do I control the length of the air blast?
Nice
I've made a few of these you definitely want to get a good compressor, I'd recommend ten gallons at least with a good HP/CFM. I hooked one up to an AC switch with a wireless remote, but with that, you have to turn it on and then manually turn it off for your blasts. If not, the solenoid gets left open and the ones on Amazon easily burn up and stop working. A wired momentary switch is probably better or a picoboo with a motion detector/trigger. For safety, I added a regulator from Harbor Freight ($5) and also a directional check valve (Amazon) where the quick connect goes on - that way no air can for whatever reason flow backwards. Experimenting this year with doing one using a 1/4 inch solenoid to do some smaller air blasts.
A time machine!
Would have been nice to have a parts list.
Great! Where’s the wallpaper from?
about many air blasts can you get off a fully pressurized tank?
How long is a string? Depends on how large of an air blast. Quick ones, I can usually get like 4-5 or 2 pretty large ones.
Just a tip for you, when you stir your epoxy if you do it in a "figure 8" motion you will induce way less air than the normal "whipping" motion we are used to. Keeps the majority of the bubbles away. Great video!
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try the next time I make some castings.
Hi wondering if you could offer a parts list from the items in the beginning
What about the back???
It's only meant to be decorative for prop builds.
Can this machine have burners added to it to roto mold polyethylene?
I dunno?
Yes I watched it all. While I sorted folders form a disk drive move.
Thanks! I was actually archiving the footage from this project when I originally saw your comment.
Hi Can you add a supply list? For both the air and water? My husband and I want to try both this year. Thanks for your help
It's interesting to me how my editing and narration has changed/improved over the past 3 years of making new videos.
This helps give me ideas for new curtains.
I'm glad that my video was helpful! One note from using them in practice is that guests, adults and children, would duck down and go under them as opposed to through them. If I made some more this way, I might make them a bit longer than 4ft 6in so people would just go through instead of crawling on the ground underneath.
why not just get a ton of rocks delivered to you
Something about taking something for granite? I dunno... I'm very tired.
😆😆
I made a couple of them that were just 1 solid color. Which ones do you like most? The single colors or the double color splats?
Thank you so much
Well, I made a very rare editing error that I failed to catch before uploading the video! Enjoy!
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine. oh fudge. Thanks for the extra puzzle. I will claim my prize now.
Well, that didn't take very long.... good job!
Curtains and doors really slow down guests giving the impression that they can't just run away easily and adds to the fright effect. Great job on all you curtains.
Thank you! I couldn't find anything about them on YT, so I figured that I'd make a vid discussing them.
I like the way those turned out.👍
Thanks! Have you seen the zombie ones that I made?
When, using Teflon, tape on threads, go clockwise with the opening of the thread towards you. It will make your fittings more effective. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tip! I'm not really a plumbing guy, I'm more of a decoration build guy. So far though, I haven't had any issues with anything leaking as of yet.
A project similar to. This is definitely on my bucket list.
Go for it! This was a fun build.
You got me interested in watching several of your videos tonight. Good job.
Thanks! Hopefully I make more stuff that piques your interest!
Every time we do a project, we learn something new. Thanks for sharing!
If I'm not learning something new, I'm definitely figuring out a better way to do that thing the next time.
They turned out pretty good. I’m sure this will help others that are trying to do similar projects.
That's why I do these things, hopefully I'll inspire people to get out there and make a thing.
Wow, that turned out really good.
Thank you. It was a bit daunting at times while working on it. When I started, I didn't know how I was going to get it painted. I was either going to HAVE to learn how to airbrush or not finish it at all.
Well done!
Thank you!
That was a pretty cool video. Thanks for sharing. I might have to use some of these techniques someday. I subscribed to you a couple weeks ago.
Thanks! I'll have to make a follow up video where I use them for a project.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
I just hope that you use your newfound powers for good....
Great job!! Hey your shirt inside out 😮
I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences of going through a haunted house and having an actor using a door panel like this!
Can you build one with the ability to bake a mold with flames 🔥 in the inside of the small square for HDPE powder. I wish someone can build something like that here in America so that I don’t have to buy it from overseas
I don't know how to help you with that, sorry.
This is a fun build…. But don’t take this guy’s advice on the build process. Use pneumatic thread tape instead of red locktite
Thanks for the tip! I haven't had an issue with it yet though.
Одна сторона внутренней рамки никогда не будет внизу, меняйте передаточное число, например 4 оборота внешняя рамка и 1 оборот внутренняя.
Правильно. Я допустил ошибку с передаточными числами. Я заметил это после того, как опубликовал это видео. Я купил шестерню, у которой в два раза меньше зубьев, чем у той, которую я поседал, и я планирую заменить ее в какой-то момент, просто у меня еще не было времени сделать это. Спасибо за совет!
Longest video I've ever watched of using angle grinder 😂 just kidding but I was waiting to see assembly of all these welded steel just then wooooot everything is done. Good job buddy.
That train is going WAY too fast through that neighborhood! Someone should tell Norfolk Southern to take it easy! Geez!!! (I couldn't run it any slower because it would get stuck in the tunnel. Sorry.)
Hello. thanks for the video, very cool. are you planning to use this machine to produce plastic products? Already using this equipment?
This kind of machine is for casting polyester and polyurethane etc, not for plastic as far as I know and using one of these machine.
If you're gluing prepainted pieces together then you're just gluing the paint and not the wood.
I haven't had an issue with it yet.
No regulator?
Good point. One could be added.
I really like this method! Seems like less waste than just using a giant block and then carving it out
Right? The leftover chunks could used for another project!
Hi! What about using 2.5 mm fiber board instead of plywood? Any concerns with doing that? It's 50% the price of OSB, which is why I ask 😅
Fiber board is mostly made of water-soluble glue. Which means that the first time that it gets water on it, it'll basically melt. It might be cheaper in the short term, but in the long term it'll end up costing more when the fiber board has to be replaced due to moisture damage. I've had some of these plywood panels since 2007 when I did my dark ride and they're still in good condition. Basically, I build stuff for being used 50 years from now instead of building it to work for today and tomorrow. Also, guests can get scared, I have had them turn and try to run away and go face first into a wall panel. The plywood panel survived, the picture frame that was attached to it wasn't so lucky. The fiber board would probably have had a human shaped hole in it like a cartoon. I hope that this helps. I have a more videos on decorating panels. They might give a bit more insight into the benefits of the plywood. I also have several more videos about decorating panels coming down the line.
Great work. Your dedication to your projects is to be admired! I can see how this could save you time on your set ups.
Thank you! I try to do the best that I'm capable of whenever I work on something. I hope that my videos inspire others to get out there and be creative!
This is amazing!!!! I enjoyed watching your process and, yes, I watched it all!! Excellent editing!
Thank you! The project was bigger than I thought, and the editing was a BEAST. It felt like I'd never get it done!
Hi just wanted to say my son and I love watching your videos … do you happen to have a parts list that we can use as a reference? We are still new to all this and it would really help.
It really depends on the size of the opening on the air tank. Everything that I used was 1/2" NPT. I'm sure a screenshot and helpful employee at a local hardware store would be enough to get all the right parts. Thank you for the kind words about my videos! I put a lot of work into them.
Why not use an air compressor and a hose on the trigger?
How many air compressors do you intend to buy? If I want to have this particular effect in 5 or 6 spots in my haunted house, that would be a lot of noisy compressors that are spread out all over the place. Personally, the way that I'd do it is to buy a single high volume compressor and connect multiple effects to it. That way I only have to insulate one location for the noise. Also, if I had the 1 compressor and only drew air from that tank, then used a 100 foot air hose leading from that single air tank, the air coming out of the end of that really long hose won't have any power. The purpose of the yellow air tank is so that the effect has plenty of localized reserve air to draw from. Plus, if I bought a compressor with a 25 gallon tank, that is the max amount of compressed air storage that I would have to run multiple effects at any one time. This adds an additional 5 gallons of space to store the potential energy. Also, If I just used the 1 tank, each time an effect goes off, it decreases the pressure in the tank. If I'm running an entire haunt off of just the 1 tank, the air might be too depleted to make something else work properly. Conversely, if I was running something like a hayride with a big property and everything was spread out, then yes, I would get more than one compressor and do things more like your suggestion. I hope that I explained this well. I'm not the best at explaining concepts like this.
