      Adam, you should recreate the co-star's hat. So instead of just a pencil, integrate some other things.

      This is my favorite with these two. Adam took over the bottle opener video. It wasn’t near the collaboration that this one was💕

    • @kelvincooley
      @kelvincooley Před 3 lety

      I’m sorry I don’t wanna drag the creativity of your channel down, and I love your ability to collaborate and make something new but like you literally could have milled some holes in a 4x4 that fits the handle of these dispensers. It accomplishes the same goal, in the sense you want to take the roll with you and be able to dispense tape one handed. I feel like it’s a little bit of over thinking to disassemble the tape dispenser when you could mill a few oblong holes in a nice piece of wood and stick the dispenser handle in them and if you want to take them with you just remove the dispenser, it also lends itself well to being built into a vertical orientation. Kind of an Occam’s razor type thing, But then you wouldn’t have a video so idk I’m sort of torn between the simple solution and the free form creative spirit you foster in this video... honestly I’m slightly envious and a little bit baffled by your ability to see another idea as a contribution to the final product and not an obstacle to your vision, your ability to design around another persons work is awe inspiring (it would definitley frustrate me to not have a plan before it’s executed...to just go and make it, I could do it alone no problem but each with a different part, the way you riff off each other it’s awesome)

      Adam uses a special echo location technique, different areas of his belly are tuned to locate specific items. His tongue receives the vibrations, hence his subtle but quirky facial gestures.

    Laura has the best suggestions for builds. They’re always practical and awesome. It’s fun to see props, but they’re not really functional (guns, etc.). With these, it’s easy to see how well the things do what they’re supposed to. And Adam’s and Laura’s ingenuity is on proud display. Thanks for bringing us these collaborations!

      What wonderful shop porn. I could (and often DO...) watch this sort of stuff non-stop. My other go-to is the wonderful How It's Made series. Unnnngggghhhh... When I used to work in my shop more often I'd spend as much or more time making the stuff to make the stuff, than making the stuff itself. A good jig or tool holder is a thing of beauty.

    The 8-ball shows his true colors: he is so unconsciously capable, his intuition allows him to wing it most of the time (which is not true of course; the fact he knows all his materials do well and his experience in pressure cooker situations taught him to work fast and smart, creating room to problem solve).
    The way he used his caliper to thumb his way through the tubing is oxymoronically satisfying;-)

    How great. Loved the fact that Adam said okay, you take this apart [9:04] and Laura without thinking reached into her pocket and pulled out a multitool to get started. No hesitation, or anything. Taking things apart is such a fundamental step in our learning and creating process.

    The tape rolls should be double mounted back to back with a single arm between them. You could fit 4 rolls in the same place.

    • @Tathbubs
      @Tathbubs Před 7 lety +2

      the idea was that they wanted to take off one roll without having them stick together or needing to get one out of the way, take the one they needed, then put back the one they didn't. an easy way to have more is just to make it more compact and have more arms.

    • @crzyvaps

    David Attenborough: "The nerd mating dance is a long and arduous one. The male nerd shows the potential mate his array of tools and materials. He can tell she is ready for his dance by the donning of her pencil hat. The female nerd is very excited because this mate's showing is one of the largest she has ever seen. A plethora of tools and materials at her beck and call. A truly masterful showing from the older male. It appears this male can meet all of her sensible, seemingly simple, yet complex demands. There is only one stumble, a slight misstep, as the female nerd seems befuddled at his measurement system, but nevertheless he remains true to his dance. The female is so impressed, she joins the male nerd in his dance, and it is quite the beautiful event. This dance is a success, not a surprise from these exceptional specimens, and several hours later a tape dispenser is born."

      @Tomeccho Před 4 lety

      That was my only frown moment in the vid. As soon as they said they wanted something to lock the arms up I just thought of a tungsten steel flap/spring (think of a springboard a gymnast uses to leap onto/over the box) mounted to the ply backing that the top corner of the arm would depress when the arm was moved. When the arm was fully up or down the tungsten would be at max open and would hold the arm in place while the action of raising/lowering the arm would depress it. The friction part of the arm - the corner - would be lightly rounded off and shimmed or capped with something that wouldn't wear down or alternatively would promote ease of action ie solid teflon insert or a strip of thin hardened steel bent and screwed into place - use whatever is on hand but all stuff I've worked with before so know it's doable.
