You should use a limit switch so when you open the scissors they turn on
That's what I was expecting, was slightly disappointed by the use of a regular switch. Did have a good laugh at the rest of the process.
probably would have happened if there wasn't the three day flaccid stand interlude, I assume
Stll it can easily be install using cut-off circuit
MrPaw45 same
@@PratikKatdare it would make perfect sense to add one, not only because of the easy installability, but also because of the name of the circuit
My electronics mentor used to say, "If you switch it on and it works the first time... Unplug it fast and double check, you did something wrong!"
That's served me for many years.
How come? Shouldnât the goal be to have it work if you do everything right?
@@CosmicGaijin Because it could just be a fluke
@@CoreyT97 or some of us are just good?
Kidding, we're all just a human.
My prof used to say that eletronics need smoke in order to work -- cause if you can see the smoke, the electronics ain't working no more.
@@derradfahrer5029 That's the magic smoke that makes it work. Unfortunately once the magic smoke comes out it's hard to put it back in.
The distressed rant followed by "Oh! It's not plugged in!" resonates with me a lot
"You can definitely see a lot of imperfections in my welds, but since I'm the one making up what scissor lamps should look like, I can just decide that they're meant to be that way." I weld for a living, and have gotten pretty decent at it. Textbook looks aren't everything, and the time you would have saved doing it differently would be negligible. It's obviously not structural, and you tacked it up hella good beforehand and metal finished it beautifully. This is why I love seeing people's "imperfect" metal art, it is literally one of a kind.
A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't.
I was reading this as she said it đ
At least she tries, not like me. I'm a shit welder, but I braze anything you can braze, so everytime I can get away with braze welding steel and crap, that's what I go for.
Ofc, structural things I have to go get the TIG, but I swear welding machines have me blacklisted xD

Can't stop laughing :'D.
She's Swedish
hahaha!
@@boredincan Yeah, like the Swedish don't have weird units: The distance a barking dog can be heard in still air. (5,344.2 m)
@@villehursti omg is that real?
Imagine if there was a contact switch on the scissors handles that deactivated the lights when they were closed
She even said it was her initial idea!
I genuinely expected it to be that.
lol that was exactly what i was thinking she would make. That would be a very cool effect tho
It would be even cooler if she put a potientometer in the joint so the light would be dimmable
But then you would always try to see if the light actually turns off, like in the fridge!
Oh no, it looks like the lamp has found a new way to kill the âiâ in Pixar....
A criminally underrated comment here.

A sane person would've gone out and spent $100 on a small band saw. lol
Watching all the makers on CZcams sometimes makes me forget that there's people out there who don't do everything with CNC.
I mean, I'm one of them, but that doesn't feel like it counts

It's like a reverse sponsorship!
So Amazing
and so badass

How will she pay for it?
@@inabothwick6353 with money
Okay but the little scissor closing 'snick' sound at the end there was so real and so satisfying. This was amazing.
I'm a couple years late to the party but kudos to you for the book offer - I'm sure you made some people very happy during some very trying times :)
Agreed, I thought that was a very genuine way to address a very complicated situation without making it about her. Also I learned about a cool business!
âThis week's sponsor⊠is me. I'm sponsoring peopleâ
She owns Kiwi Co?
@@blaketundra3216 she's paying for people's books, so yeah, I guess that's why *she* might be the sponsor? But only using Kiwi Co to deliver it.

Underrated comment đđđŒ
That was my first thought too. Though it runs the risk of reminding her that Adam probably has a way better sheet metal jigsaw in his cave...
Simone. That's the best gift - the books - I've ever heard. Your generosity is amazing.
"not like the current baby, the next baby" KILLED me :D
"So you can literally cut the lights."
Sigh. Here's your like you earned it.
Fuert Neigt I know what you mean, there is a lot of trash content clogging the trending page. If itâs not cRap videos with cars, money, gold teeth & chains, and naked ladies... itâs some âfamilyâ channel using their kids for views... or sniperwolfthot ripping off content. All these have one thing in common, not a single original idea, just repetitive nonsense for airheads to drool over
She was so damn proud of that pun haha
@Fuert Neigt what do you mean?

"A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't."
Simone: âwhy does everything sound so sexual?â
Simone a short while later: âI just need more friction.â
I can't believe you missed _flaccid_ just before that!
and 6:06
and "mounting"
6:55 is the funniest one
9:13 Simone yells "Cut", misses perfect opportunity to dramatically close scissors.
"Metric!"
"Imperial"
Simone "Pregnant Hamsters!"
That's just imperial
Execute order 66
My guess was "half a grapefruit"
If only she'd said pregnant squirrel, then you could calculate it with the Mark Rober metric.
She's in the US, we'll use anything BUT the metric system.
Thank you Simone for your videos. It has become a special thing to share with my daughter. We love your humor and your can-do spirit.
"New lamp, who dis?" XD Never change Simone
would be really cool if it can actually turn on and off when you open/close them, instead of a switch, appreciate your videos
That's exactly what I thought her design idea was. Simone - mod2, embed the switch inside the scissors.
OMG THATS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HAHA
Yeah, sounded like that was the idea to me too
Yup, exactly that.
Same, when she first mentioned cutting the lights I thought she'll use a flex sensor. I actually love the idea and design a lot, but I'd probably get tired really fast opening and closing the scissors just for the show. I could simply leave them open and fiddle with the switch (and then the scrissors being mobile becomes redundant). Hope she posts a part two with improvements because I like this project a lot.
It's so nice when I see someone else get swearing mad at inanimate objects when they don't cooperate. It makes me feel normal.
You are very normal. She is good at reminding us of that. I thought I was watching my twin from the future.
Every sewist and quilter in the world would buy this for her sewing room!!
Simone's content has the most underrated, subtle, accidental sexual energy for a build channel and it's hilarious
...there's literally no sexual energy at all whatsoever. Calm down brother
@@elisewilliams1575 alright then, keep your secrets
@@elisewilliams1575 youâre telling there wasnât any sexual energy at 1:17 ?
@@metallicfingers I'm saying that, yeah. She's literally just talking????
I read this comment and then looked up and saw her violently sticking her file in the scissor holes.... "Yes, subtle, refined... quite so chaps, quite so."
As a wise man once said: I'm proud of you son.
Good one
Not to me tho
Wait people actually say that?
Thanks dad
And only once
I feel that not having a contact switch inside the scissors just totally undercuts the idea.
Did you just...?

I absolutely LOVE how real she is!! All these "DIY" channels edit like crazy, but she let's us see how it is without the magic. Plus...SCRAPS!!
There is an oddly soft, warm and fuzzy feeling about your videos. It's your persona.. It's like a motion picture. It's got humour, sci-fi (of sorts), drama (the best part followed by the humour I guess), and the pure genius of where it starts from and reaching the end in the most satisfying way possible without being able to figure out how you reached there too... (In a broader plot like sense of it that is..)..
Thank you for making my day, so many days made...đ
Simone: "Why does everything sound so sexual?"
Also Simone: "F as in flaccid." "I just need more friction." "It's going to be a limp, floppy, scissor sandwich, no matter how hard I try to mount it."
hawky225 you forgot one â if i see a man with a stroller, i want to have his baby â
Fucking hilarious!!!!
A one-way street.
If you find yourself thinking everything you say sounds sexual, you might just be horny, and that's okay.
also "Dads are fking great!" Like are they good at fkin or...
As someone who works with metal for a living, watching Simone express her shop rage makes me feel very seen đ
I was worried literally the whole time, cuz the whole scissor lamp thing is metalic, I was hoping she didn't shock herself the entire time
just remember the welders creed: Grinder and paint, makes me the welder I aint
Simone, graduated physical therapist here (and also a maker), the table that you were using is too high for you, so your shoulder was too extended and elbow too flexed. This ergonomics was causing you to not push down the jigsaw hard enough onto the table surface. Possible solution 1: kneel and cut on the floor, and use insulation foam to elevate the sheet metal. Possible solution 2: Build another lower workbench! (a rule of thumb is: the heavier the work, the lower the desk)
Thanks for the tip... Utilitarian brain goes STEPSTOOL to get more leverage
@@khoshekhthecat That's ... much clever than my suggestions!đ€
That's a cool job, does it help you draw anatomy (for art, lol)
@@juliusroman8616 To be perfectly clear, I'm not currently practicing physical therapy. And I think learning anatomy would definitely help your art, I think there are anatomy books specifically intended for art. (I suck at drawing thođ€Ș)
Ooh it's so cool when suddenly you can mix two things you know about although they seem to have nothing in common. Have you considered pursuing a career in ergonomics?
Can someone please just give her a âbest personâ-award
She can make a robot that hands her the trophy đ

If I could get to know someone famous it would absolutely be Simone. Sheâs perfect.
Simone, you are my favorite person of all time. Feeling depressed? Watch Simone. Feeling crazy? Watch Simone. You fix moods my friend :)
Having the light turn on automatically when opening the scissors would be amazing
I agree! I'm sad it didn't work out that way. But I'm glad she showed us her mess ups and mistakes. â€ïž
Then you could cut the lights...FOR REAL.
@@joanna4655 True. It adds to the experience of something being built from a concept. Her frustration at not getting it right the first time, but persevering until she does get it right is what the creative process is all about.
I thought that would be the case
@@RBelmont Exactly. I was disappointed when she installed the switch. But it turned out great nonetheless.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you most of all for making things and sharing your life with us. Thank you for not editing your mistakes and reactions, it gives a depth and purity not found in too many CZcamsrs. I think my future projects will not be so edited in the future.
"It's going to be a limp sloppy scissor sandwich no matter how hard I try to mount it."
"Turned a tesla into a truck but legit takes several tries to wire a light" is a serious engineering vibe.
She didnât engineer the Tesla truck. She just helped assemble some of it.
same vibe with phd mathematician taking several minutes to solve 27+39
Ooooh fuck man. You gave me a giggle! Thanks
@@xtrct7303 Dude, have you ever tried to do math on a monday morning? Yeeeep.
Itâd be dope if the lights turned on when the scissors were opened, kickass project regardless
I was thinking the same thing!
just like a fridge
@Bruno Mikus . . . No. No, they are not.
@Bruno Mikus I laughed so hard at this, thanks, you made my day! đđ
@Bruno Mikus take all the shelves out, then get in your fridge and shut the door.
report back to us your findings..
I just had the urge to weigh my hamster, for reference. Took me a little to long to remember that my hamster is not currently pregnant and in fact, male.
To be fair, a male hamster is probably closer in weight to a pregnant female hamster than a _not_ pregnant female hamster
It's been awhile and, I'm glad to have caught this build.
I also think it would have been great if you'd incorporated a mercury switch, so that when you opened them, the LEDs would come on, so that when you close the scissors would *"cut"* the light off.
How to cut sheet metal with a jigsaw:
1: sell jigsaw
2: buy bandsaw
3: cut sheet metal
Right...........
She has a bandsaw in the background
SHE HAS A BANDSAW IN THE BACKGROUND.
A scrollsaw is marginally better to cut the way she was cutting, but it will have basically the same problem. Even a fine tooth metal cutting blade (on either jigsaw or scrollsaw) can catch and rip the work piece up. The only way i ever found to cut metal like she was, was to glue the metal down to scrap plywood, or use 20 clamps that you constantly move around. clamping right in front of where you want to cut works best, but then you need to move the clamp constantly. Really, glueing the sheetmetal to scrap plywood is the fastest (although it can still rip up).
Obviously a bandsaw is the perfect tool for this because it can never rip the piece up from the work bench.
There are very fancy jig saws that will push the blade forward on the down stroke and pull it back on the up stroke. If you BARELY push while cutting with one of those, it will not grab as much. But it will still grab. I think those are called oscilating jigsaws or something like that
Gunhaver TL;DR youâre wrong
"It's gonna be a limp, sloppy, scissor sandwich no matter how hard i try to mount it"
ah yes ok

@@timvermeulen4024 Same lol đ
"So you can literally cut the lights." I'm genuinely impressed.
This comment was under appreciated. Shame on you Simone's audience!
Been there, cutting sheet metal with a jig saw sucks. Much prefer a band saw. The constant movement of the blade downward pushing the workpiece down into the work surface (rather then grabbing and lifting it up) makes all the difference. Love the content! Stay safe.
I really love this video because it reminds me so much of my own experience with crafts projects.
Keep doing what you do Simone you're an awesome CZcamsr and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
âItâs going to be a limp floppy scissor sandwich no matter how hard I try to mount it.â
Ok cmon now youâre doing it on purpose

"Laser cut cardboard, hand cut metal."
I feel "hand cut cardboard, laser cut metal" would have made a much easier project, but maybe it's just me.
I don't really work with lazercutters or metal but I thought you couldn't lazercut metal because it reflects the light of the Lazer?
jan de Munck yes

Your sense of humor is The Best.
Aw, I was expecting something like a microswitch being inside the assembly that would turn it on/off when you open/closed it. Awesome project for sure, but that's what I imagined with "cutting the light" haha

I admit it: I Googled âHow much does a pregnant hamster weigh?â
Answer: Anywhere from 170 grams to 230 grams is typical. (For Americans, thatâs about 6 to 8 ounces).
Itâs a little complicated because there are several species of hamsters, but thatâs in the right ballpark.
Sorry, I'm american. What does a pregnant hamster weigh in cheeseburgers per bald eagle?
Half a jumbo cheeseburger.
Cool. Now I don't have to. Thanks. đ
We Americans donât know how much an ounce is anyway.
An ounce is one bite of a jumbo cheeseburger.

Die cutter presses with small simple shapes are great for cutting sheet metal. Make sure the press is well suited for the material and thickness, More travel on the handle (as well as longer handles) and less on the press usually means more force. When in doubt, try it! You can also extend the handle for more leverage, but you may break the stamp or even the press depending on the design.
