มุมมอง 6708 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have a Casio CDP-200R which has some spongey black keys, and something rattling around inside, blocking other keys. In this video, I open it up and fix the keys, which were caused by the weighted arms on some keys coming loose.
Fixing dead keys on a Roland RD-150 stage piano
มุมมอง 6038 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, I repair a Roland RD-150 stage piano that has several keys that have completely stopped working. Initially I thought it was just dirty/corroded key contacts, but it turned out to be a burnt PCB track on the upper key switch board.

I lost the key to my Givi toolbox (S250), so in this video, I'm re-keying it to use the same key as my Givi Outback Trekker pannier boxes.
How to break in to a Givi toolbox
มุมมอง 436ปีที่แล้ว
If you've lost the key to your Givi toolbox, here's a way to break into it to get to the contents and lock barrel to re-key it. While picking the lock is an option, these locks are a bit trickier to pick than normal locks, and this way is much easier.
Motorbike spotlight installation - Yamaha XT600E 1996
มุมมอง 201ปีที่แล้ว
Installing spotlights on a motorbike makes a huge difference when riding at night. There are lots of cheap, bright spotlight options, but wiring these in is often the most difficult part. This video shows you how to wire in the spotlights with a separate switch, so that they can only be turned on when the high beams are on - if the high beams are turned off, the spotlights are automatically tur...
Yamaha AG03 Mixer - a game changer for video conferencing
มุมมอง 7542 ปีที่แล้ว
I think the Yamaha AG03 is a game changer for video conferencing. It has a loopback feature which allows you to feed audio from your computer back into the the mix. This means not only can you monitor the sound from your own mic through your headphones, but you can also hear audio from a video conference through them too. This means you can use a high quality microphone, know that you’re audio ...
Cheap way to charge your deep cycle battery from mains power
มุมมอง 8872 ปีที่แล้ว
If you have a solar set up for camping but want to be able to charge the battery from mains power without having to buy another charger, this video shows you how to utilise an old laptop power supply to simulate solar power input to a Victron 75|15 MPPT charger, including how to limit charge current so you don’t overload your power supply.
Quick and easy hand polishing gemstones without special equipment
มุมมอง 43K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I always thought you needed special (and expensive!) lapidary equipment to polish gemstones. In this video, I show how you can polish flat surfaces onto gemstones using a cheap diamond knife sharpening plate.
Electrolytic rust removal

A little bit about how electrolytic rust removal works - in particular, how the electrolyte concentration and electrode size affects the amount of current drawn.

When you hit it so hard, it goes back in time
Now I know I have to install a metal bracket around and rivets to prevent someone to this on my. (just a reenforcing the plastic around) tks.
I’m neither a bloke nor crafty, yet glad to have found your site.
I’m glad you like it!
What tipe of inseriment is this?
My reaction when my wife says you can't take apart this particular piano to clean it up. "Bet" To be fair i asked "can you take the keys off to clean under them?"
What are you rubbing the stones on?😊
It's a 4 sided diamond sharpening block. Like the ones you find on amazon www.amazon.com/s?k=diamond+knife+sharpener+4+sided
@@Blokecrafts , thank you, never saw that before.
Luv it mate
hello sir, are you using usb type B ag03 to lightning jack on your ipad?
On my iPhone i use the Apple Lightning to USB Camera adapter, and then plug it in via the regular USB-A to USB-B cable. For iPad pro I use a USB-C to USB-A adapter or USB-C dock. Hope that helps.

I get it - i don’t even own a ranch or any earthmoving equipment, yet I cant stop watching @Farmcraft101’s videos!
@@Blokecrafts +1 sub! 😄

Get a reciprocal saw and super glue it too a worn blade.
Genius!
Hi, you Bai like dis gm ston
DUDE! You are a genius! this is SO impressive... i love this kind of stuff. cheap diy is the way to go... sometimes lol i got a crate full of agates that beg to have edges exposed, so imma need something powered, but this is really fantastic! Well done!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! I wonder if you could find some way to mount a diamond sharpening plate to a vibratory multitool, and then fix that to a bench upside down and use it as a high speed sharpening surface? A sheet type orbital sander is the other thing that comes to mind, but I'm not sure if they only oscillate in one plane, or if they would jump around too much?
How many times you can use the same sander?
A lot - diamond sharpeners won’t wear out quickly.
Thank you
Looks like maybe agate. Nice job! I've been cutting opal with sandpaper, my newest hobby. Isn't it hard to scrape up against the knife sharpener with all of those holes? I feel like it would get caught. Nice job man! Thanks for the video!
Thanks! Do you mount the sandpaper on a sheet of glass? That's the best way I've found to get a really good flat surface for when i go 800grit and higher. I need to be very careful that there's no grit particles under the sandpaper, otherwise it will introduce scratches into the surface. You're right that the holes can make it tricky - just at the start though. Once you've ground down a reasonable amount you get effectively a bearing surface which makes it easier to keep it flat. You do need to be careful though otherwise you'll accidentally get multiple surfaces. Like with knife sharpening, you can use your hands / fingers to set a consistent angle, then use your arm or body to move it back and forth.
enjoyed the video
Hi, I liked your video. I was wondering if you could give me some advice please. I bought a wee pink tourmaline charm and it is so dull. It's about 5mm and faceted. I tried to make it shine with toothpaste and a cloth but it was difficult as the stone is small. Is there anything else I could do to make the facets shine a bit? Thanks 👍
Unfortunately I think it would be almost impossible to re-polish by hand - unless you got all the angles exactly right you would end up rounding off the surfaces and would make it worse. I think the toothpaste idea is probably the best one so I’m not sure there are any better options. If you do find one though reply back here - I’d be interested to hear about it.
@@Blokecrafts thank you for replying. I kind of thought that so I'll keep on with the toothpaste and some elbow grease! Take care and keep up your good videos 👍
@@lorrie3526 u might try using Flitz polish which is aluminum oxide and rubbing it with leather,
Wow! This is an awesome video! Your voice is GREAT for ASMR and the work is cool! Keep the videos coming!
Crackin idea and AF !! Thanks
Glad you found it useful!
It really does work well. I just used this method
What sort of setup did you use?
Plastic tub. Laptop charger at 20v dc and the scrap metal was old armoured cable. Dud a video on my channel feel free to check out.
