One thing i think is a security risk, and that is putting the sticker on your window. Why advertize what security youre running? Its like showing a photo of your housekey on your window. :) just saying, otherwise love the video!
Ooooooo that's slick! I see you slowly changing your surroundings to look like a sci-fi space station... Don't think I haven't noticed! ;)
Haha. Meighan wanted a feature wall. So we made the nerdiest one we could think of.
You might want to add sensors to a couple spots in the room to get an average air quality reading, depending on the size of the room and rate of air circulation through and into it.
Agreed.
@@Iliketomakestuff When I saw the thumbnail, that is what I thought you did.
I have a PM 2.5 (Air Quality) sensor in my garage woodshop and I think it's one of the best additions to any shop: The numbers tell me when it's a good time to take my mask off after sanding or using any other tool. IMO it should be in every shop out there.
I agree. I often don't think about dust collection in the moment, but setting this room up for success made me rethink the workshop.
I was going to attempt to do that kind of wall pattern with LEDs running the whole length of the "circuits" for my workshop. Ultimately I chickened out but I'm glad I now have your video as a resource for the future. Now all it needs is pocket doors that make the "whoosh" noise when they open and close :) Anyway, looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Cool idea
Love the wall. I'd love it better if there were lights between all the panels instead of just around the door.
Take it from someone who has been building scale terrain for gaming and models for over a quarter of a century. The fastest and easiest way to cut any type of foam fast, especially if you don't care about edge cleanliness, is with an old steak knife. The serrated blade that is semi dull is perfect for cutting foam fast and accurately.
Good to know. thanks!
Electric bread knives also work great, used them to cut miles of thick foam for use in cushions for indoor playgrounds
@@ColinKleinNL I second the electric knives
You joke about it, but I really do appreciate that you leave mistakes in the videos. You could make everything look polished and perfect, but (silly as it may seem) it's nice to get the reminder that we're all human, and that mistakes or setbacks occur for everyone. I also like when you've left in things like, "If I did this again, I might do this differently, or I might try things this way," because it lets the folks watching learn from your experience, especially when we (like you) might be doing things for the first time.
Something worth noting. The casing around a door frame is a surprisingly integral part to the structure of the door system. It doesn't look like your new custom casing is doing anything to tie that door frame to the house frame. Sure, the door isn't going to fall off but it can really impact the feel of a solid door in the near term, and allow door alignment to suffer in the long term.
That small device would be great idea as standalone unit for people to buy and install in their garages/ workshops. When light turns red or buzzer goes off it lets you know to get out and air the room out a bit.
When are you going to convert the doors to automatic blast doors?
This is dead on with your brand from beginning to end. Well done.
Ha, thanks.
10:20 Bob always doing the small things in the hardest way possible.
Suggestion if you have to revamp later. Aluminum foil on the edges of the foam to help spread the light further.
I like that you left the mistake in😉 But, seriously, I'd love to see exactly what you did to jump it. It's these little details that help me the most. Great job, that wall is stellar!
I just wanted to take a second to appreciate how accurate the Fusion 360 render was to the finished results! 🤯
Very cool stuff! I am indeed a bit wary of all the techy stuff, but that's just because I am definitely not skilled in that area. Love the way you made the wall look like a circuit board!
Just because you want to add monitoring, it doesn't mean it has to be boring. This looks pretty sweet and seems to be functonal. It will be interesting to see how well it performs in real world usage. Thanks for sharing!
Those spacers done it for me. Excellent.
I know it would be overkill, but I would love seeing the whole "circuit path" lighted. Good idea the aire checking, that's for sure
This......was a very cool video. What a stylish way to have safety precautions!
I was actually working this weekend with 2" foam (insulating my band joist). I tried a foam specific jigsaw blade but had way too much deflection. I just went with the score and snap option. Worked great for my purposes.
I use that pink foam for prototyping on the CNC all the time, because you can cut it SUPER quick with just standard spiral wood cutting bits
"This stuff isn't that hard - you may just not understand it." Great insight!
LITERALLY THE BEAT THING YOU’VE MADE SO FAR!!!! Great work
You should add more sensors around the room so that you get a more accurate reading.
I love it when you keep mistakes in the video, now I know I should not shoot brad nails into LEDs. Thanks ILTMS !
The more you know...
I love that photo of you all on the counter (in the ad part) 11:09
What a beautiful wall!
Just understand man that whenever my parents house purchase goes through I am looking through your entire channel and selecting things i am going to do to the new house
This is definitely going to be one of them
The wall does indeed look super cool! Great job team!
I came in to troubleshoot a keynote install that had LED tape all around the stage. They had screwed into at least 20 different spots in the tape when installing the set.... One brad nail sounds amazing!
In case you want to cut foam in the future: '1/8" Shank Downcut End Mill Sprial CNC Router Bits' works great when I've used them in the past.
Shooting a brad nail right through an LED is exactly the kind of thing I would do! So yes, we DO like seeing the honest mistakes
You might consider adding a VOC sensor and CO2 sensor if you ever revisit the sensor package. I was amazed at what those showed near my worktable.
With the laser cutters and 3d printers, a VOC sensor would be a great idea.
Sliding Star wars doors concept would be the finishing quality to this project
I like the LED around the door but maybe in the future you could continue them around some of the circuits on the wall as well .
this looks awesome! But i think you guys should put LED-Strips in all the channels/gaps. That would look really sick!
Wow, the final look is so cool
For cutting foam like that, things that work really good are those electric turkey carving knives. Long blade, sharp, and goes through foam easily. Cosplay and furries use them for cuttiing/trimming foam all the time
The most impressive part is the fact you actually got a type 1 sensor. Nice dude
Definitely very cool to see the LED's around the door frame light up. But...@13:38 it would have been soooo much cooler if all the grids on the whole wall would light up.
It looks super awesome you guys!
Hey Bob, I adapted your project for my purposes. I also have a LED-stripe running by an arduino. But instead of controlling the air quality I use it to notify my mate, if I am recording my podcast or on a phone. For the phone I use a lightsensor with is taped on the busylamp und two bottons. The buttons start ort stop my recording using the keyboard-library und usb. When I am recording the led-stripe und a cntrollamp turn red. After stopping recording they go of. I really like these kind of projects. Take care.
Oh that's really cool. I love this idea!
Glad you like it!
Pretty fantastic work, guys! Well done!!! 😃
The wall really turned out amazing!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
Thank you! You too!
i love it when they keep the mistakes in the video.
Wow, that wall is looking very well
Thanks!
Whoa! That first shot of the lit up doorway at 13:21 in video needed some more fanfare! It's awesome!!!
that´s just amazing!!! Awesome result
I've always wanted to do an accent wall that looked sorta sci Fi like the inside of a space ship, kind of the Millennium Falcon, the Bepop or the Swordfish ll. Now I know how to do it and I thank you kind sir!
Am I the only one who would like to see acrylic tubes of some kind running along the gaps in the panels to propagate (or at least try to) the light further along the wall?
That wall is so awesome!! Fantastic work and love the LEDs
You’re a legend Bob
This is in my top 5 projects you've done. Its practical, combines different skill zones and looks amazing. Reminds me of my cat toilet flusher (AI powered system that detects when the toilet needs to be flushed)
Can’t believe you exploded an LED with a brad nail 😂 Good work, everyone!
Couldn't hit that shot again if I tried.
An awesome idea! Both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Very excellent! 👍
What a cool project!
6:40 Don’t glue stuff to your drywall
12:47 Ops 🤓
Wowers that's definitely very unique and very cool project. Can't wait to see more videos soon guys. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks! Will do!
Now that's what I would call thinking out of the proverbial box! Great job Bob & crew! 👍👍😉😉
Bob- “Don’t glue stuff to drywall.” Also Bob -*Glues sensor box to drywall* :)
That is pretty darn cool!
Can I hire you guys to design a wall accent for my LEGO shop. This is so cool.
This would also be really useful for anyone who has hearing problems...
Placement of the sensor is critical for effectiveness. Just like a regular smoke detector, you want to place it away from "dead zones" (such as areas near the wall/ceiling join). Your sensor placement will not be terribly good - I'd suggest mounting it on the ceiling, near center. You have to watch the length of the sensor leads - if it's providing a voltage signal you will get some distortion from the lead resistance if it's far away. That's the reason most industrial sensors use a 4-20 mA current signal, as it's pretty much immune to degradation from distance or RF interference. Neat project, however - I really like the design elements!
Hey Bob, I like it when you keep the mistakes in the video.
13:08 wow that was some quality mistake, i loved it.
I think you should look into home-assistant for a smart monitoring
should add some reflective tape on the foam sides to carry the light a bit better.
It would have been awesome if the LED's were through out the entire circuit board wall. Not just the door! But still awesome!
Always good to be safe but even neater when it's cool!
This is a great idea. Have you thought about multiple sensors around the room to give you a better idea of where the problem is coming from? Adding sensors over the CNC, laser, etc.
I love the D.A.R.E.-esque M.A.K.E shirt!
For the foam cutting part, use machine oil on the blade of the cutter, it does wonders, Very cool work as usual, it's something I'd do at home if had the chance to,
Awesome project! The design looks great!
I literally searched last night for an accent wall video from you. Lol
Super cool - and so on brand!
We agree!
love the wall
Looks great, but think you missed a great opportunity to install more of a Imperial Starship hallway design instead of the randomized cutouts. Just a thought is all! Love the videos
This is a really good idea. Didn't know there was an air tester for the Arduino so will have to check it out.
I was building an attic hatch for my new garage using four pieces of 2" foam glued together. I used PL300 to glue them together which would have worked in your build as well, but I think the hot glue will work fine. I don't have a router table as that would likely be the best way to cut the foam with a long enough template bit. I opted to use the oscillating saw as well after trying with the long Olfa blade but still wasn't getting great results as it was almost impossible to keep the blade straight up and down so that it stayed even all the way around. With the oscillating saw was able to keep it pretty straight and use the foam board above as a guide. Pretty funny to see that's how you guys cut yours as well.
it would be cool to match the door to the wall design
Wouldn't be an ILTMS video without an arduino 👍
I hope you feel better, Bob. Sounds like you're getting over a cold :-(
Thanks. I was just getting over one.
I really like the offset panels - not sure if I want the LED strip on my accent wall but technically I can print a separate light to mount on TOP of the wall later.... hmmm ideas...
That wall looks awesome, add the whole wall with rgb and make it display a subtitle pattern that compliments the danger indication 😉
Hey Bob! I like when you leave the mistakes in the videos...
What if y'all made a digital calandar? Auto updates, showes everything from the calendar or ether updates! I'm gonna try it soon!
More than likely this idea is not new but it would be cool to have some of your power wires on the wall mimic the flow of electricity when you turn the machine on. Not a great idea for everything because there would have to be a delay to show the pulse of light running "through" the wire and then time it so when that light is at the machine then it turns on. This really cool wall just reminded me of that kind of thing.
Love the wall design!
Thanks! It looks awesome in the space.
This is very cool
Liking the look
What is the physical knob you're using for orbit/pan in fusion 360? There's something visible on the desk but can't tell what it is
14:28 Homer Simpson is that you???
I like flannel shirt-wearing Bob
The dust sensor would be a little more accurate if it was placed in the ceiling of the room rather than the door's edge. But other than that, really cool project! Cheers.
It may have been the easiest to just mount the MDF to the Foam sheet before cutting everything out on the CNC. Foam will cut at a much slower feed and speed than MDF so you would have been safe to simply add one more pass of each line at the remaining depth.
Dude! That looks awesome! I might have to do something like that for my man cave… it would’ve been even better if you had a full run of LEDs throughout the panels, or perhaps you could run some kind of fibre optic system… maybe using a running led so that the colour pulses out from the door frame and along the runs… but still looks so cool!
Functional and looks great!
That wall do look Kool, but needs more LEDs!
Shouldn't it also have a sound/light on the inside as well?
Was wondering what adhesivet/tape you were using? For the CNC they look like adhesive squares
