AvE Knife clean-up, assembly and thoughts
This is the assembly of the knife made by TH-camr "AvE." The "knife" is sold as a "blade holder" and comes in parts that need to be cleaned up and assembled. It is made of stainless steel and titanium parts and is designed to hold a 25mm or 1" snap-off blade.
AvE has a few videos about this knife and the assembly of it. My video shows the clean up of the parts, the assembly, and my thoughts on the knife.
I took a bit more time to clean up the parts than AvE does in his assembly video though the total time was not more than a half hour. I could have taken more time to get a mirror finish, or to make the edges perfect, but I was running short on time, and after all, it's a utility knife; I plan to use it not look at it.
The knife has a nice weight to it and feels very solid. The action on it is rough at first but gets better if you take the time to sand the internals and I assume it will get smoother over time.
A couple things that I noticed that could be improved are that the screws protrude out the back, the edges are not very clean or line up well, and I'd like it if it had a belt clip.
Overall this knife is very nice looking and feels nice in the hand. The push-button action is smooth if you take the time to get it there. It's pretty close to "one-of-a-kind" at the moment but I know my coworkers will be asking me where to get it. The price is steep for a utility knife but taking into account the materials and the quantity being made I think it's worth it.

Two Piece Portable Chair Build
มุมมอง 4872 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a simple design that I first used a couple years ago. I aimed to make a new version but a bit smaller and lighter for ease of travel. I used ash for the whole chair and finished it with Osmo Polyx oil. I'm 6 ft 170 lbs and the chair held up fine on the beach for a couple hours. It's more comfortable than it looks though making it slightly larger might improve comfort. Some of my favorit...
Old Refrigerator Makeover // Paint and Wood Handle
มุมมอง 1.9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the first project for my kitchen remodel. This refrigerator came with our house and although it's a bit dated it still works fine and I actually prefer the freezer/top fridge/bottom layout which seems to have fallen out of favor in most new fridges. I'm also not the biggest fan of stainless appliances. I figured painting it and making a new handle could make it stand out in a good way w...

Make a New Seat Cover For Your Motorcycle

I made this seat cover for my 2003 Harley Sportster. This is a fairly simple project especially if you choose to not make the ribbed pattern. I used vinyl for this seat but I have also used leather in the past. Vinyl is nice because it does not absorb water and it is much cheaper than leather.

Harbor Freight 2hp 70 gallon Dust Collector Assembly and First Cuts

I picked up this 70 gallon dust collector from Harbor Freight for $200(on sale from $250). I also purchased the "Dust Collector Accessory Kit" for $65.

METABO 10" Single Bevel Compound Miter Saw (C 10FCG (S)) - Unboxing and First Cuts

I picked up this Metabo miter saw on sale at Lowes for $119(down from $169). The saw is very lightweight but has plenty of power. I was surprised at the accuracy out of the box.

This Nighthawk was my first bike and the bike I learned to ride on. After getting lots of low offers when trying to sell it I decided to give a go at chopping it up, I didn't know much about engines or metal work prior to this and I learned a lot.

Solution for a pickup truck cap window with worn struts
มุมมอง 7875 ปีที่แล้ว
This isn't a true fix but it works. The struts would have been about $30 each to replace, which isn't bad, but the clip can be had at a autoparts store or hardware store for a dollar or so. The key locking mechanism cost me about $30. To remove the old one you have to drill out the rivets. I installed my with a pop-rivet tool. amzn.to/3SnBKGk amzn.to/3snToPv amzn.to/3Tug50B
Locking up an Engine for Disassembly or Reassembly

I was also able to place the nickel on the opposite side of these two gears to hold the engine while loosening the same bolts.

    I use an olfa HD with the plastic stripped off. I put a piece of reflective tape on it, cos it's very slim and easy to lose. Only downside is that the blade can slide out the back if it's loosened because the stop was on the plastic.

  • @caramelzappa
    @caramelzappa 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you use your olfas with the blades extended you should really check out the Knipex one. They have a spine that can be extended to support the blade which makes it way better to use with longer extensions. Nice video. I think I'll pick one up. But there's definitely a bunch of things I wish were done differently. Might try to develop my own 18mm version.

  • @barrylinkiewich9688
    @barrylinkiewich9688 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As a laser operator I see things about how this kit was cut that kinda grate against my standards. The cut lead-ins (little divots on the side of the parts) should have been on an inside facing edge or the end of the part and the bridges on the two spacers could have been much thinner for easier cleanup. Speaking of clean up, the operator could have gave the parts a gentle wipe when the slag was hot and it mostly would have brushed off, or refine the cut to reduce how much is produced in the first place. Whining aside, you've done a great job cleaning it up and I love the idea of the knife but these small changes wouldn't have cost any production time to result in a better finished product.
