Hi this is my youtube channel. It expresses my interests in camping, woodworking and home repair. I own a Carpet cleaning firm and am often involved in construction trades so will sometimes focus on those but I want to have fun here. There are a number of woodworking projects I have done that I wish to spotlight such as desks dressers and cabinets but will need to make the videos I also love tools and will spotlight those as well. I am currently making my Minivan camper and will hope to include traveling with it. Please subscribe and comment on what you like thanks for following.
Easy 5.1 ARC/EARC CEC surround sound install and no remote switching to standard tv speakers
In this video I describe how to connect your 5.1 surround sound system using the better ARC return channel and using CEC settings to automatically turn on the receiver. I also included a method to get back to regular TV speakers without having to go through a complicated button pushing mess that confuses guests and any other non-tech person in your home. In fact you never need to touch your receivers controls or remote again once you finish setting this up.

So easy!
This video really helped us. Thank you.
Great video! If you love it, that's your answer. Doesn't matter the price or fanfare
Looks like alpinst from the thumbnail
I believe the SEIKO has anti magnetic properties that the Timex lacks.
The Seiko's hands in the Timex's face would be ideal.
I have both a Seiko and Timex Chronograph. I love both equally. From time to time I do favor my Waterbury because of the Indiglo feature.
Interesting I returned the Seiko my Timex doesn't have indiglo that would have been awesome I did find the lume was light but was useful a couple times. I'm really enjoying the Timex looking now for a thin mecho quartz probably going to get one with a vh31 japanese movement. They are good plentiful and some are quite beautiful.
Both watches look nice! What's the going price for these watches? Good review!
Seiko I found for 135.00 and.timex was 65.00
You had me at both
Ya I know I actually decided to also get a white face narrow watch so for now trying to keep entirely different looks/styles and they were just to close. Here's the watch I'm thinking about. www.jomashop.com/tissot-t-classic-quartz-white-dial-mens-watch-t129-410-16-013-00.html thanks for watching.
Same.
For full written directions open the description with your computer. Please like and subscribe thank you and good luck with your project.
Some people have pointed out that the diagonal in the gate is the wrong way that is it should be from the top edge of gate to the bottom hinge side. They are correct. This is the tension vs compression diagonal. To explain wood works better under compression that is its better to have a 2x4 under a beam versus supporting it from above. there is an anti sag kit that is a long bolt this of course can only be used in tension so would go the direction of my diagonal as a long bolt wire has no compression strength So if it weren't for the skin of this fence making it a solid object it would only be the thick long multiple screws on my diagonal acting similar to an antisag kit that would keep it from sagging. I do feel the sides have become a skin which more then makes up for the reversed diagonal. The thick 3/4x5.5x6 foot redwood double screwed and overlapping side to side make it effectively like a door skin or plywood skin on a sheer wall or even a roof truss (some don't use diagonals just a plywood skin) all of these examples dont employ diagonals due the strength of the skin becoming a box beam (even the thin 1/8 inch hollow core door replaces an inside diagonal) and effectively make them a solid object like the box beam or very close to it. So here it doesn't really matter but it should have been reversed and im glad its pointed out so thanks.
I remember years ago when I cut it last time I used the grinder with the metal cutting blade and that would be the reason why the other cut was ragged. It's just too aggressive. This time I decided to cut using a knife as the manufacturer recommends. They actually say you can snap it after one good cut. I did try the single cut and snap to get rid of my waste on the old one and it worked perfectly fine but multiple cuts only took a minute longer and was perfect and smooth with no chance of breakage. With so many fail at the snap method its probably better to use the multiple cut method I demonstrated.
Perfect. I've watched several others who used the same slides as you but bottom mounted them. I was wondering about how that would hold up. I like your mount better
Thanks most slides only have a intended mount direction so don't put a weight ratting when mounted in a non approved way. I did find one that had a weight of 25% when mounted flat so I would assume a 100 lb rating decreases to 25 when mounted flat. since you should not max out weight as placing heavy things bounces I would try to keep it at 75% of slide so a 100 lb weight on its side would be 18 lb or about the weight of the drawer and about 5 lb of load. Not a very good idea for a drawer for pans perhaps a spice rack I hope thats all they were using it for..
Hello, is there a downloadable plan? Thanks!
can you help me how to import dwg file in qcad?
Terrific
Great video John. I have a booth at a consignment store in NC and I sell cutting boards and pens that I turn. What would be a good selling price for a mini one like yours?
I think thats a personal decision. This one is maximized to build fast and look cute and there arent really any comparables out there. I wasted alot of time trying to be perfect and the feet actually took the most time, a stand sander to round the edges and a way to hold multiples feet at a time against the sander would really have saved time. So you could get it down to 20 minutes and 15.00 to build I took about an hour and wasted some so an hour and 20 in costs for me. I would want 50.00 for an hours work. I would need 70.00 so it would be a hard sell I do know that every one loved theirs and still makes comments to me how useful it is its just hard to impress that on someone before they have used it.
@@johnhilbrands3274 Thanks for getting back to me. I will be subscribing
Thank you so much for posting this video, John. So very helpful. We had an Avante trim kit from 1995 (pull/push to turn on (i.e., pressure control) and twist for temp control). Our faceplate was round (not oval) with a single screw in the center to hold the round jewel-like plastic knob in place. We upgraded to the Weller, as well. We also replaced the cartridge because it was very difficult to turn on/off the water. If anyone reading has the same, we confirmed with Price Pfister that we didn’t need the retrofit kit - the metal sleeve screwed on easily onto the old inner metal threaded (retaining) ring and it kept the new faceplate in place. We did notice the handle wasn’t super solid after we screwed it on (tightly), it wobbled a tiny bit - likely due to the valve being set shallow so the handle cannot sit flush with the face plate. Also, we needed the plastic part inside the spout - that just slides on to the unthreaded (straight) copper pipe coming out of the wall. The Weller kit looks and functions so much better. (We got the Tuscan Bronze finish - really nice and on the plus side our kit purchased from Amazon had symbols for hot and cold.) Note that we opened a case with Price Pfister and attached a photo of our old trim kit before starting the project. They were super helpful and guided us through what we needed. They said we only had three options if we didn’t want to change the valve: Weller, Pfirst Series and Pfirst Modern. And the cartridge for the our valve (0X9) is model #974-292. Thanks again and good luck to others.
Thank you! I inherited my White 1919 and love it, but I was having this issue!
On this video I decided to try a different format rather then editing severely clips they are sometimes not perfect for showing everything vs just a descriptive video of finished product how about a full descriptive video with inset clips. This solved a lot of issues with voice sync and trying to add clips which then needs a voice over. So it shows the work and a full descriptive at the same time let me know what you think.
Great presentation
Can you update the firmware on the TCL R646 to version 291? Because Walmart currently has it on sale for $503.17
Not in automatic update but perhaps using a usb you would have to search that. I still have the auto update and it is currently 258.000393 I dont seem to have any issues but some favor forcing an update.
i have a SERIOUS problem with mine! main menu of apps, like netflix, are EXTREAMLY loud, compared to when i watch a show. anyone else have that problem? i also have HUGE volume differences between apps.
Superb. This got me going on my first Qcad drawing, could not have done it without you.
No sound
I thought this was a good video to reference for the fence I built. Then he gets to his gate, and it was at this point he lost all credibility to me. The diagonal support brace on the gate is backwards. It should always be from the bottom of the hinge side to the top side of the latch side. Else it doesn't do jack diddly.
Not here to knock this video but you’re exactly right. It’s astonishing how many builders don’t understand physics. I see far too many gates built incorrectly by “professionals.” I’d be ashamed to put my name plate on some of these fence projects
No link below to the mattress/bed... Lol I would have followed it to possibly buy🤷
You should always have some sort of grey-water system.....a collapsible 1-2gal jug with a collapsible funnel is perfect.
Thank you. I see some rules say to drain off site while some camp rules say camp kitchens free off debri using camp soap and 200 feet from stream broadcast in bushes is fine. It is a good idea to bring at least a bucket just in case. Also know that you should leave no trace while camping and that includes a puddle of goo so resist the idea of treating like a home or RV sink using paper towels to wipe out plates first should help but if you know its contaminated carry the bucket to a drain even if its not required.
What's up with the BIG GAP between the back of the handle and the face plate?
You pull it out to turn so it was a bit forward at that point in the video.
Excellent video, thank you John
Nice job!!
I think QCAD has moved the library browser into the paid version, which is really annoying.
Yes its now only in the professional version there seems to be a work around by dragging object in but 44.00 seems to be an acceptable price so it seems we need the professional version now.
I measured the nail holes level across the fence to give a very neat appearance. I guess it isn’t necessary because nobody else seems to care.
You're very lucky that cartridge came out fairly easy. It can be very very difficult to get that out. Sometimes you have to use a bolt/screw extractor to get it out and apply steady pulling pressure (no wiggling or shaking) to get it out. Thanks for this video! 👍👍👍
Do you put bobbin thread in clockwise or counter clockwise?
Great job mah man!
Thanks for taking the time to make a video on Shadowbox fences installation. Perfect timing. I am building this type fence for the 2nd time(for a neighbor). The 1st time was in the "pre youtube era" (before 2005) so I had to wing it. Thanks to youtube and guys like you, I now can get ideas from people across the globe and incorporate the look I want based on different fencing techniques. I appreciate you greatly...and youtube for inventing this platform.

Hi, I'd like to know what diameter deck screw you used, because my simpson strong tie bracket comes with 4 little holes in it, and the screws I have are too large to fit through any of those predrilled holes in the bracket. What size deck screw will actually fit through those predrilled holes? Thanks so much!
You can open my description with a computer and see a lot of written information so most questions are answered there. It is a size 9 gauge. they do fit but are tight also the head doesn't countersink but keep in mind that a thinner screw would be weaker.

None of my hdmi ports are getting sound all of the sudden. It was working fine until about an hour ago.

Honestly, I see TVs off all brands shit out frequently. I think consumers need to start picking for more protection on their products. There is no reason why any 1,000+ntv should last less than 5 years
