An Engineer's approach to woodworking
Splintered chair leg repair
Fixing a trash picked Ikea chair.
Its an Ikea FANBYN chair frame. There are different plastic shells to go on top of it.
The chair was relatively new but the legs splintered because it was assembled all wrong.

Better pulleys and belt tensioner for the homemade mill/drill

Making some stepped pulleys for the drill speeds I use the most, an improved belt tensioner, and making height adjustments more convenient
Wooden kid's wading pool build

After several inflatable wading pools got shredded by animals in the night, I built one out of wood. This was a very quick and simple project for its size.
Milling the dowel jig I always wanted
Переглядів 98 тис.28 днів тому
Milling a metal block in to a dowel jig for 3/8-inch dowels. Essentially a 3/8-inch drill guide with four holes, to be screwed to a block of wood which is then clamped to the workpiece. This will simplify some of the dowel joinery I often make. This is my first project using my homemade milling machine contraption. Far from perfect, but much better than trying to do this with a drill press.
Stomp catapult
Переглядів 79 тис.Місяць тому
A catapult without springs or weights, powered by kids stomping on it. Have been able to shoot small potatoes over 45 meters or 150 feet with it. Much further than a comparable size trebuchet ever would! Safe? Well, without springs or weights to power it, it can never go off by accident. But any contraption that throws something has some inherent risk to it.

Cut *any* thread pitch on a metal lathe
Переглядів 110 тис.3 місяці тому
The threading table for my Vevor metal lathe was very inaccurate, so I set about to come up with a much more accurate thread cutting table. With five gears that can be swapped out, It's possible to approximate any arbitrary thread pitch with surprising accuracy. I also tried making some wooden gears to explore the possibility of just making custom gears for it. I have uploaded my Python script ...
Making a lens sphere curvature gauge

Wanting to measure the index of refraction of a lens, I made a curvature gauge. Making this required drilling some holes very precisely, and an X-Y table was very handy for this task.

Blueberry boxes storage rack

A different way to attach table legs
Переглядів 214 тис.5 місяців тому
Building a table for the kids to do their crafts on, and a different way of attaching the table legs, without an "apron" around it. Simpler and leaves more room under the table, but makes it less stiff. But the hardwood trim helps to stiffen up the table top. More table builds: woodgears.ca/table/

How standing desk legs actually work
Thank you. Just what I was looking for
Does anybody have any thoughts about temporarily making a zero clearance plate using masking tape over the gap in the throat?
Magic man make numbers work. Me make good shapes now. Thank you for doing the maths!
it looks nice !
Mind BLOWN! 🧨 💥 Do you think my filter queen could pull this off 🤪
Wurth every penny.
Genius!
I felt much better after seeing your Jacaobs33 chuck fall off the spindle! I thought I was the only one that ever happened to. I change it out for a collet all the time so I hate having too jammed up on there.
Frank Ford would have given you an attaboy for that...
If you add a dust collection port to the center of the bottom board. Your dust collection for your router table will be perfect.
😂 This was great! How they managed to assemble it wrong!? Looks like assembly manuals are for cats, but cats can't read.. 😂
"I was thinking 'arts.'" xD
Original Murphy's Law, Edward Murphy built strain gauges for the early space program rocket sled in late 1940's. If you build a part that could be put on backwards/wrong, it will inevitably be installed wrong by a technician.
The salvation of this doomed thing makes me think of Leon the lobster
Greg Lamphier @greglamphier4430 YT Deleting my comment - with 1.7mil subs and diminishing viewership - ofc there'll be experiments at ameliorating this
I once got a free roller lawnmower because it will not cut properly. Took it home, its blades were thickened with grass clippings stuck on it. Cleaned it and there we go. Was okay for my small garden
glue sponsor?
I'll buy it
Oh, believe me, as an engineering student, I must say it is an underestimation of us to think that we could not have screwed this up so badly.
What an absolute joke...wood OCD
👌🏾
Remember, don't use impact drivers for anything that comes with its own wrench
Interesting work, but not a chair that is worth saving.
It actually requires some kind of genius to get such a carefully engineered,simple chair, So wrong !
My chair! 😂just kidding!
Do we have a M 2.5 screw inserts for wooden Pi case??
Haha yes differently art stutents
Athletics... big and dumb
Gotta love it when you find the perfect bolt in your can of miscellaneous bolts
with all the glue, it's now a plastic chair... lol.
Happiness is furniture destruction
Lovely
I can hear John Heisz screaming that you need a vise for those bent bolts.
chair must've been made on a friday
May want to edit title. This is a vole; not a mouse.
May want to listen to the video
Genius. Caved and bought an electric splitter. Delivered next week, going to build a stand similar.
"Now I'm thinking athletics." 😂
Ok... My favorite nerd ripping on the jocks. I love it!!! Tri-Lambda will alway win over those meat heads in Alpha Beta.
As a (former) engineer(ing student), do not underestimate engineering students ability to screw things up (upside down)
ikea will send you replacement screws for free - at least in EU
If only we had videos of the people who assembled it the first time...
yes, that would be funny!
Athletics!!
I wish I could use the saw like you and make these shelves :)
"im thinking arts" hilarious :D
that chair is way overbuilt for something from IKEA
I can imagine how they cursed while putting it together because nothing fits at all...blaming ikea, blaming the instructions...blaming everything...but themselfes :D
So to be fair some people had minds that just do not operate in the realm of common sense. Some people live in the theoretical and the philosophical. Lets just make sure those types do not build our cars and bridges. Love this kind of content.
yes, these minds should be serving coffee at starbucks.
"I was thinking Arts" ... Savage but likely true
Sorry, what did he say !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 How do we all NOT know this.
I'v had a lot of success bending screws (and other bent hardware) with a vise: Put two small pieces of wood/metal on one side of the jaw, a single piece on the other side, and the screw in between, with the bend exactly resting on the single piece. The vise allows you to precisely control the bending and go very slowly. With the size and material of those spacer pieces you can adapt the setup to various situations.
the problem was the very short bent section at the end.
