Making a Light Box - PART 2

Made a light box with panels of stained glass and a little woodworking. In the video, I work out building the box that holds the stained glass pieces that were made in Part 1. There's some problem solving along the way, but the results are eye-popping! This video is Part 2 and covers the woodworking portion of this project.

Making a Light Box - Part 1

Made a light box with panels of stained glass and a little woodworking. In the video, I describe my process for making stained glass pieces. There's some problem solving along the way, but the results are eye-popping! This video is Part 1 and covers the making of the stained glass panels. Part 2 will cover the woodworking and is coming soon. Here's the link for the foiling machine I talk about ...

automata train completed.3G2
มุมมอง 72112 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my wood automata train engine. Turn the crank and all 8 wheels turn, the pistons go in and out, smoke rises up from the stack, and the engineer's arm goes up and down to ring the bell. It's my first attempt at automata and I'm quite happy with the result!

    great stuff or liquid nail I have used and workd great. also dig a groove and glue pvc pipe in at the beginning makes it a dream instalation you just place over the rebar and no struggling or splitting

  • @gigi-5150
    @gigi-5150 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Question? Would it be stable enough to put rebar in the ground and place the tentacle over it? I was thinking it might be easier Less chance of it splitting and less chance of passing out. Love the video Great job!

    • @davemirl
      @davemirl 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depending on where you live, maybe. We get pretty strong afternoon wind storms here in the Phoenix area and wanted to be sure it could withstand them. It did! The change I would make if doing this again would simply be to do a better job of sizing the hole I drilled in the tentacle. If it had been 1/8" larger in diameter, it would have still have been a snug fit without the wrestling match.

  • @gigi-5150

    Could you have cut out the Styrofoam center pieces to fit the pipe or maybe lay the pipe inside the Styrofoam before clamping it all together?

    • @davemirl
      @davemirl 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That would've been more effort than needed. Just needed to drill the whole a tad larger.

      That's an interesting idea. The fact that it expands doesn't cause it to separate?

      @TheJoeFletch 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@davemirl nope. Not at all. I put the Great Stuff on one side and then place the other side on and move them around to squish the Great Stuff. I then use cheap wood skewers to hold the foam in place when the Great Stuff cures.

      Most of them are just Styrofoam rings Michelle found somewhere, probably Amazon or the local hobby store. I honestly don't even remember what she cut the smaller ones from, probably a pool noodle or something like that.

    I feel like you should put leaders on the pin ropes, and find a way to hook the string into the wood of the pin rather than using all of that hardware. Other than that, I think this is amazing. I hope it's still in good shape after 2 years.
