- I made a flux capacitor! This might be the most fun I've had building anything ever. If you want to build one of these yourself you can get all the acrylic pieces and the weather stripping from www.mcmaster.com. The box is a stahlin j1210hpl and the torr industries labels were purchased from bobspropshop.com. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Thanks for watching!

GREAT SCOTT!!! A fully functional non-functional flux capacitor!! Love it!!
Really appreciate you showing the polishing steps and compounds!
This has to be one of my favorite builds on CZcams! Great job. Next, you have to mount it in a DeLorean and just wait for lightning! My wife enjoyed the video but she asked "that is so neat, but what does he do with it now?". She just doesnt understand LOL!!
Go back in time marty
AWESOME buddy!!!!!
Mr. Wahi, you are imaginative, creative, resourceful, talented and very skilled! Even amazing at editing! I just found your channel this evening. I’m hoping you have other such videos..! So enjoyable!
That looks nice
love it.. i want one in my car
Again....impressive build.
DaBuild. Thanks so much. I’m working on a ghost trap now. Progress pics on my Instagram if you’re interested. You’re work is great as well
MEGA gut geworden
Yeah this one looks like the same one that was in the DeLorean Time machine great Scott he did it
Wow... This is just way to good! Respect!
Excelente, quiero mejorar el condensador de flujos de mi delorean "eaglemoss" ya que no esta bien hecho y tu video me ayuda mucho. Yo pensaba también hacerlo con esas luces (micro leds) de navidad con control remoto. Tengo que conseguir el correcto. Oh man... cuanta nostalgia! Un gran saludo y felicitaciones
brilliant
omg im loss of words! love the detail u go for! so good!
I love it I would love to make one could you possibly supply a parts list. Makes it a whole lot easier. Thanks in advance
So crude but yet so authentic- best movie ever. Followed by MI. For me then its TV shows- dukes of hazard, fall guy and knightrider. And last but not least that most have forgotten every Saturday before A team- Airwolf 🤨
This was awesome build great ideas 💡 you got I'm do the same with the metal box
Work is super! I watched the video with pleasure! Well done! Good luck
Awesome job can't wait to make mine
Wow! I'm very impressed. This is an excellent build. Just be careful not to put your open palm next to a running band saw 1:39
The Castaway reference was on point. I legit clicked Subscribe for that scene alone.
To date you’re the only one who caught it. Let’s be friends
@@wahiwoodworks3324 lmao seriously!? I’m the first? I’m 100% in. We’re now friends!
Greatest. Video. On. CZcams. you have talent.
High praise indeed. Thank you
Yes, this is really fun work! Well done
Garage Rest thank you
The “Flux Capatchittor”!
- The best project...
wow!
You should make the Loki mask from Jim carry's the mask
This is amazing!!! Great work
Manofsteele 2k19 thank you!
i am so impressed i want one XX
I got to tell you this you're going to be upset but you know the third label you put it a bit too high it needs to be a little bit lower like not to the bottom but closer to the bottom not in the middle other than that you did a good job and you need a round PVC fitting on the top and then it will be 100% screen accurate
Huey lewis + BTTF. Those were days. “Get back marty”
Great Scott! Totally awesome!
What would you charge to build another one?
From what I have seen online a movie correct replica can be around $400 bucks...Ouch...But the price of some of the materials aren't exactly cheap either.
@@Blackinterceptor999
$400 ????
LMFAO... Not a chance
$400 would be a bargain and then some
You're looking at $4,000 - $5,000
and that's being very fair and realistic
Now..... In saying that...
to compare apples with apples so to speak
the term "I have seen online MOVIE CORRECT REPLICA'S"
is a very misleading term because
1. I have seen them also
2. Most of them are not like each other
3. Most of them are not movie accurate
4. Even movie accurate is not that good either (although we do want to keep it as accurate as possible)
But really , most of the one's out there
1. Are just a box with lights (Which is basically what this is)
2. Honestly .... People build it because they figure, it won't cost that much...
yeah... Wanna Bet ?
and then they understand the reality of this project and they cut corners so they don't exceed thousands of dollars
so.. for those projects..... (which are not movie accurate)
Yeah , sure
some of them can be around $500 - $800
(I'm talking AUD) currency is also important
then don't forget shipping
but if you really are a fter a movie accurate one
You're looking at a few thousand dollars
I CAN HONESTLY TELL YOU...
YES' IT'S NOT CHEAP
YES, IT IS DEFINITELY FUCKING WORTH IT
I have sold 8 Myself , But... it takes a very specific person to buy this.
that person is...
- a Person that has the money
- a person that appreciates the movie
- Building or has a Man Cave
- building or has or is obtaining a Delorean for a movie replica build
and understands that it's cheaper to just buy one than put in the money
to build it from scratch
- or.... Just a person who loves the movie, has the money and wants one in their bedroom
ANYONE ELSE... usually won't buy it.
I've sold 8 in 1 year, You do the math.
it takes a certain person to buy this
but it's not $400 i can assure you
and if you buy the cheaper one's , GIVEN THAT YOU'RE A FAN,
You're not going to be satisfied
so it's just one of those things
Once upon a time i owned a $300 guitar
then i saw in a guitar shop a Les Paul Studio Limited edition for $3,500
it took me a few years, I bought that guitar,
i have never regretted that purchase and have the guitar to this day
(that was over 30 years ago)
and yes it plays a shit load better than the others.
sometimes you just do things because you appreciate things more than other people
this is the same thing
you can buy a light box for $400 - $800
or.. for Between $4,000 - $5,000 you can buy a good one
that's how it works
What color/brand of gold spray paint did you use on the solenoids? Did you primer it first, I’m having a hard time hiding the wood grain. Also I saw that you had, heavy scratch remover and light scratch remover, what was the spray you had?
You’ll always prime before you paint. That’ll help some but to truly hide the grain so that it doesn’t look like wood you’ll need to skim coat it. Spackle works. I use timbermates (a water based wood filler). Whatever you use it should sand very easily. I like timbermates because it dries quicker than spackle. Skim coat to fill the grain, sand, prime, paint. I don’t recall what brand paint I used. Something from the big box store, nothing special. As far as the polishing compound look up novus 7100 plastic polish kit on Amazon. That’s what I used. It’s a three part system and it all comes together. I’m sure there are many other options though. Hope this helps
I am interrsted to know the size of each part acrylic part. Thanks
Brilliant!
I absolutely love this and I am definitely going to have a crack at this project. Can you provide the dimensions for this?
Outstanding, lol where we going to?
Some nice techniques in this build
Lucas Wood & Art gotta see the dinosaurs right?
Don't you mean, WHEN are we going to?
By any chance, do you still own this?
Maybe you're willing to sell it?
That is awesome!!! Great job, now you just need a DeLorean and you can travel in time 😎😎
The Grant Alexander I’ll work on that. It’ll be next weeks project. 😂😂
my neighbour got one here in Rijeka, Croatia
Omg omg omg I need one I'd totally pay 150 for this 😂
lol the box itself cost more!
welp I'll see if I can get my hands on the parts
awesome build! i dont suppose you have any plans for these? Take out some of the trial and error for us mere mortals?
Great build :-)
Oh , scratch that i see the link you provided is to a site where the person documents every step
cheers:-)
DIYJase thanks so much. I don’t have any plans but there is some pretty good info out there. Www.myfluxcapacitor.com. This guy built one and documented it pretty well. That’s where I got a lot of key dimensions from. I don’t remember the model number of the box off hand but it’s in the description. They’re about 150 bucks new. I hear you can find them cheaper on e bay once in awhile. Www.bobspropshop.com has a lot of pre built components for sale if you’re into that. I bought the solenoid stickers from there. And although I didn’t buy any of his parts the photos are great reference. If you build one film it and upload it! Thanks again
@@wahiwoodworks3324 THANK YOU! Actually I have been looking for a sealed box for another project. I wanted to build a waterproof outside wifi router that I can mount on a pole and a box similar to this would be perfect.
Awsome! Where can I find that rubber Edge Seal? I cant, not even in amazon. many thanks!
Www.mcmastercarr.com
Imagine how long it took Doc to build the Time Machinr
I mean... he didn't even have an Arduino :P
Nicely done! Do happen to have a link or name for the lights you used?
any chance of posting a full list of parts?
Www.myfluxcapacitor.Com
This is a flux I made and sold 5 years ago, arduino controlled, used a metal cash box for the case as stahlin boxes are so expensive.
Making myself one now during lockdown as I only made a few to sell.
I wish I had access to all the tools this guy has, awesome build and techniques it's a great experience building one yourself when you grew up with it being your fave movie.
Check my old ones out here czcams.com/video/vMaJOjNbnF0/video.html and hopefully my own will be ready soon, I'll post a link in the future, or maybe the past, who knows!😉
steven edwards that looks great! The one problem I have with mine is that the lights aren’t accurate. But I know nothing about arduino. If I ever build another one I’ll have to learn because it really bugs the crap out of me that the lights aren’t screen accurate. Great job!
@@wahiwoodworks3324Thanks, I know what you mean about stuff bugging you, I wish I'd had a proper Stahlin box because it meant I had less room inside to play with and obviously not screen accurate.
If you ever want to revisit yours and put in an arduino and solder in the lights etc, I could send you the arduino sketch.
Great vid though 👍
Finally finished one for myself, bedt one I've done czcams.com/video/rkQrdO0neKc/video.html.
Thanks for inspiring me to do another one.
awesome ! it will be usefull if we have the parts list and the measurement of all prts to make a replica if someones have it and share ! i woudlike to make one ! thank you for the video !
can u build me one it only took u 13 minutes :)
beardedgaz yeah I’m pretty quick
This is some serious shit
I’m pinning this comment.
Do you happen to sell these?
Your flux capacitor is very nice he look like one in the movie I love it ! But I have a question where do u buy the box for the flux capacitor ? Because she look exactly like the one in the movie !
man, those Stahlin enclosures are sooooooo expensive !
spudwales yes. Almost prohibitively so. It’s kinda ridiculous.
Great Scott! it's a quarter grand today - Tom, how am I supposed to get that much money?
The equivalent Home Depot NEMA box is about $50 which ought to suffice for most eyes.
Very Cool
Last Leaf Studio thank you sir
Uau, me encantó!!!!
Would love to purchase one......
Scott Harrold that can be arranged. Email me tony@wahiwoodworks.com. Thanks!
6 minutes from now your gonna ask your kid, Hello McFly
If you were to sell this how much would you sell it for? My son is a huge collector and I would love to add this to his collection!
One of my favorite prop builds on CZcams! How much did this build end up costing you?
Stryder Pearce around 200 but the box itself was like 140. I also wasted a lot of material experimenting. I’ve heard you can camp out on eBay and find a used box.
@@wahiwoodworks3324 great! Thank you! I might just try this build since I have nothing else to do now that school is cancelled 😂
Stryder Pearce I hope you do and good luck!
@@wahiwoodworks3324 thank you very much!
thank u you the best
orang meme thanks a lot.
Nice!
Andy Pugh thank you!
Sorry for so many questions. But the solenoid soldering posts, on myflux.com, he called them test probe sockets or tip jacks. I looked at Menards for something similar but no luck. What is that that you were taking yours out of? Trying to locate those now.

What a G R E A T build ! ! !
5:46 what is the name of this box? And where i can buy it?
The box is a stahlin j1210hpl. Google it and you can find one. They’re about $150.
Link to the box used?

You can get a new one here. Camp out on e-bay and you might find a cheaper one.
Www.myfluxcapacitor.com Lots of useful info here as well.
Hi, I'm making my own soon. I have all the parts except for the weather stripping. Cant find the right type. Do you have a link to the specific type of stripping?
www.myfluxcapacitor.com/bill-of-material see if this works
Thanks! I placed the order.
Bonjour pouvez vous de donné vous dimensions et diamètre utilisé insi que tout vous matériaux cordialement
Can you post a link to the LED light kit? That’s been holding up my project for months! This is so simple! Thanx
Jack Story www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Batteries-Christmas-Decorations-Certified/dp/B07WDFMLNP These are what I used. The remote doesn’t work very well and the light pattern is not screen accurate. But it is simple. If I can ever figure out how to program arduino it’ll be the first thing I change.
I think your video is awesome. Where’d you get your Stahlin Box?
This is awesome! Just purchased a Stahlin enclosure and am going to attempt this myself. Where did you find the lights (link?), clear tubing, the acrylic balls, and the 3 acrylic blocks?
I got all the acrylic parts from McMaster carr. McMaster.com I believe. I had to special other the plugs from auto zone or Napa. The model number is on the box. I think I took care to show it in the video. Myfluxcapacitor.com has a lot of specs and useful info as well.
@@wahiwoodworks3324 Awesome thanks! Are those lights available on Amazon or did you get them somewhere else?
@@bulls6pack I got them on Amazon. They really aren’t that great. Obviously they don’t chase like in the movie so they’re the only thing on this build that’s not screen accurate. Also the remote doesn’t work very well. If I had to do it again I’d get some LEDs and learn how to arduino. Whatever the hell that is.
Lol, got it! Yeah I don’t think I’d be able to figure it out either. I think yours looks good though!
Hi, amazing piece! Can you please tell me the dimensions of the wooden cylinders you cut first? Looks like 2" diameter x 1" height?
2” diameter wood dowel 1 1/2” height. If I did it again I’d go 1 1/4 high to allow more room for the electronics behind the panel. I’d probably use 2” delrin rod instead of wood as well. It’s almost impossible to completely hide wood grain. Hope this helps!
@@wahiwoodworks3324 Thank you so much!
Terry Cooper no problem
I plan on making one but very u sure how to do the led lighting and were to purchase the acrylic blocks and tubing from.
Dylan Gregory link to the led kit I used. www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Batteries-Christmas-Decorations-Certified/dp/B07WDFMLNP
All acrylic parts were purchased at www.mcmaster.com/
For dimensions and a lot of helpful info go to www.myfluxcapacitor.com/ This kind gentleman has done most of the research for us. Hope this helps!
How much would you charge to make one of these I want to put it in my hotrod
450
Nice job! I’m in the process of acquiring parts to build one myself. I’m also referring to myfluxcapcitor.com too. Was curious what size dowel did you use to make the solenoid bases? I think I’m going to make mine out of wood too.
Daniel Rocheleau 2 1/2 inch I believe
Thanks! Did you use a template to layout all the holes to drill of the back plate?
Daniel Rocheleau no I just kinda winged it. Although you can buy one at bobs prop shop for about fifty bucks. I’m sure if you looked around you could maybe find a printable one for free.
Sum beers required, and used as shingles on a boat.
What size and where did you get the clear plastic tube for the flux? Great job!
Thanks. I got all the acrylic from McMaster.com. Www.myfluxcapacitor.com has a pretty exhaustive list of sizes and measurements that I stuck to pretty much.
@@wahiwoodworks3324 thanks for the info! Appreciate ya!😎🇺🇸
One more question, what size weather stripping did you use?
can u put all the stuff we need to make it?
orang meme go to www.myfluxcapacitor.com. There’s a pretty comprehensive list of what he used to make his. I didn’t stick to it 100% but it’s a great reference
send me the shopping cart!!!!
My next project will be the Flux Capacitor
Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuito bom
Jonathan Araujo obrigado!
Amazing! im in the middle of 3d printing one, nowhere near as good at yours though.
This is heavy!!!
Someone needs to make these in China for consumers to buy that isn’t like $300!
would you make one to sell me?
Amazing but when u see it broken down it kind ruins the ‘magic’ for me
I was getting ready to start this project, til I googled "stahlin j1210hpl" price. Welp. nevermind.
It’s kinda stupid. If you look, the next size up box is actually only 40 bucKs. The 14” box is over 100 bucks cheaper than the 12” box. I’m convinced it’s because the manufacturer knows the 12” boxes are in demand for this build. If you look at the flux capacitors that are available commercially, the boxes are always a little different. They have to be because the manufacturer has a patent on that box style. So if you want to buy a screen accurate piece, your looking at at least $400 if you don’t build it yourself. Crazy.
@@wahiwoodworks3324 ah yes stingy greedy business 101. Supply and demand. In this case, I will go with the next size up. Sounds like a fun build, and I can't' wait to be wet sanding the acrylic plastic pieces as I look straight into the camera. hehehe. Great build by the way!
Can you time travel you just need plutonium And DeLorean
wahi i need to tell you some thing im orang meme its just my passwor i cant remeber it but can you still call e orang meme
Heavy...
the enclosure cost 150 bucks wtf
Leviathan vlogs yeah it’s pretty ridiculous.
also do you have like a link to purchase all the things to build it like the materials
Leviathan vlogs go to www.myfluxcapacitor.com there is a pretty comprehensive list there and I stuck to it pretty much.
Btw, you put these on eBay and folks will pay what you ask for these.
I love it I would love to make one could you possibly supply a parts list. Makes it a whole lot easier. Thanks in advance
