His newfound obsession with brass is pretty wholesome.
I'm all here for it. Love the look of brass
After aluminum
What's his next obsession going to be?

i watched him for hours but i never built a thing from it. like this is just therapeutic for me to watch.
Sometime I listen to his voice.. just to get sleep
I managed to actually make one thing - the sunlight from an old TV, highly recommened. Other than that I just realy enjoy these videos
@@lewisfilby2394 Ohhh, that project was the one I was most interested in (also, it was the most feasible for me). Glad it worked out well for you!
I couldn't agree more👍
Same! Also the Led backlight sun lamp is my favorite!

Racist
@@ozmobozo I think the joke went over your head.
The final product looks amazing, good job!
But for anyone attempting this kind of metalwork I would recommend adding some transparent nitrocellulose laquer after polishing the housing since brass tends to build up patina quite fast. It can be removed though but with the paint job done upfront the brass will maintain its finish.
I love that you still do things by hand so people see that they can do it too. So many youtubers start getting a bunch of expensive tools as their channel grows and outstrip the capabilities of their audience.
You should investigate you local maker space, you often get access to all the awesome tools, for a low monthly membership fee. KWArtzLab for example is my local maker space, 5 Laser cutters, full woodworkng shop, full metal shop (with brdgeport mill) 24/7 access,$60 a month
this is definitely out of reach for 90% of people if I had to take a wild guess. Like when he removed the connector for the buttons and individually soldered every wire onto the nodes on the back, that was just another moment where I knew- "yeah this dude definitely went to college. He knows his shit." And I know its not that complicated, but average people can't fucking do this.
@@TheBanjoShowOfficial nah, start simple, the skill will get there eventually
@@TheBanjoShowOfficial I don’t think it’s necessarily about having gone to college
Now this, THIS is finally going to make the mac guy at starbucks jealous. He used to shake his head at the vinyl wrapped ones, now look at him now, he's salivating.
This guy is maybe the best DIY channel I've seen, out of hundreds.
Yeah he has a wide knowledge of electronics and build design. There only a few like him but for sheer presentation and camera angles and editing it's entertaining and we'll layed out .
Imagine if this guy was in the mech keyboard community
@@mario7832 imagine 😂
absolutely
@@mario7832 Maybe he interested with it, but still don't have idea for the diy keyboard
i did this on “easy mode” by reusing the laptop display assembly and modifying a raspberry pi 3d print template to fit the driver board then just fixing it to the back. the laptop hinge got reused and works great. just have to flip it around by undoing the nuts and adding new lubrications.
good alternative for anyone who doesn’t want to go thru all the metal work or doesn’t have the tools or space
So the raspberry pi is replacing the control board?
@@quinxx12 no just the case.
You got a tutorial? I would like to try this as well but how did you make the enclosure for the raspberry pi?
Ever considered making a magnetically attachable keyboard for this build, like surface pros? I think this should not be problem for Raspberries, since they can be connected via Bluetooth
Sorry but what did you use the raspberry pi for ?
I need a button that when pressed is just the sound of Matt saying “Nice!” bc that’s the wholesome encouragement and validation I need in my life.
easy-peasy. get an "EZSound Module" (on amazon). capture Matt saying, "Nice!". load it onto the board. sew it into your favorite plushie. just remember a zipper or velcro to change the battery.
That ps5 sneaking into frame at 13:00 now makes a lot of sense!
Matt, you're builds are always inspiring. The way you use different materials and electronics together seamlessly is awesome! I've got my eye on a few electronics projects and now I'm seriously considering brass 😀 Keep crushing it! - Brad
In my experience brass tarnishes. If he wants to keep that monitor frame shiny he'll find himself breaking out the brass cleaner every few months.
Wow it's rare to see an error this way around but "you're builds" (you are the builds), "your builds" (belong to you). You're not wrong though, his builds are great.

Solder is super easy to take apart, you just heat it up again.
@@Lolquake Apple and Microsoft Surface team taking notes - "glue can be heated up to take it apart"
tbh, with a 1 product made, there's no way to order custom made small screw to get it together. also it make them complex with metal. it can be improved if it was sold to other

Friendship ended with aluminum now brass is his best friend
This guy is in a league of his own. The DIY's he makes is a Work of ART itself.
i agree, he has an art to his science, which is very appealing to me
Top quality 👌🏻
Once again, proving I don't know how to do anything.
This person sounds similar to the British narrator of how its made
I just recently started realizing how profoundly the youtube channels I watch have impacted my life.
I found this channel around when he posted the DIY camera slider which makes me 13 and now I am double majoring in mechanical engineering and sustainability. I love that he finds ways to recycle old tech and make sure your builds have real merit.
Dude, that's awesome!

something that i never thought of but extremely needed , thank you
Not the touchscreen we need, but the touchscreen we deserve.

Can we appreciate that he has to shoot The intro after building the project and act like he's gonna build it twice
.....or he films it out of order, and then edits it together like that, rather than having to do it twice?
@@ExarchGaming The unknown power of video editing...
@@TimeFlyBy yeah... this one made me kinda confused. He's clearly doing a voice over(dub) and there is nothing in the video that suggests he's doing it twice.
he builds the project, gets his b-roll and then edits it together while dubbing over the video stream. I guess there are some people that aren't familiar with how video editing works, even if it looks like common sense to us.
@@ExarchGaming hence "act like".

@@AW-zu4kk that's not my point at all.
You are the best for teaching and explaining with how to build and where to get it. Everybody hide something while showing building or how to do. Thank you. May the lord bless you....
Brilliant build! I would like to add just one tip... Brass oxidises. especially when touched with bare hands as the oils in our hands speed up that process leaving the brass tarnished and discoloured. So, to save you the heartache of having to continually polish this, which could lead to potential damage, I suggest clear coating all of the brass once its been cleaned and ready to receive the parts. the Laquerre or Clear coat will create a very hard protective coating on the brass keeping it looking shiny for years if looked after. Then it'll only ever need a simple dust off now and then.
Doesn't the metal polish already adds a layer over it though?
@@8bviews91 god damn it. Not helpful, but okay
@@SuperSohaizai no. Metal polish does not add a protective layer.
Hi Matt, In 2019, I disassembled my old laptop when I saw your first version of a DIY external monitor, though I wasn't able to make my own external monitor. I'm thankful and happy to tell you that because of the videos you make (showing us that it's like a walk in the park even though it's not haha), and because of that first disassembly, I'm able to open and fix laptops and speakers today. I failed to mention that it helped me financially during COVID when I lost my job. Keep it up!
I feel like in 2030 DIY Perks will be like “today I’m gonna build an entire new planet, on a budget, with clean water cooling and brass atmosphere to keep the radiation out”
@Shubhkarman Sandhu i really red that with his voice
@Shubhkarman Sandhu him: before we made the dyson sphere, we always need the structure, so what I'm gonna do is that I will use the 5D printer to print the structure of the dyson sphere
But before that in 2025 he'll show us how to convert a tesla into a space ship to get to said planet.
@@8bviews91 this comment section was going so good...
best tutorial I've seen so far. You covered every possibility I was hoping for. The built in battery that you plug into with usb is THE best touch in the build. Its a perfect solution to get rid of the power cable yet its sleek and no extra finagling, just taking advantage of the built in features.
But how do I know what battery to look for for a basic LCD panel , for a build like this, the Controller board I got, says it requires 12v 3A, that is big for a "slim" LI-o battery.
Holy shit the phone back camera method is brilliant.
Very smaht!
@@vital20 butth...
I’d probably opt for a hanging cradle in the back with some wiggle room to tilt if I needed to. Something 3D printed in a black plastic would be a nice edition ;)
@@jwstout007 no that should also be brass😂😂as it is his new freinf
Matt in another 2 years time: "I made this out of my new favourite material... Titanium... Which can easily be welded in a vacuum so remember to wear your oxygen mask if you try this at home."
Titanium, Niobium and Zirconium are metals that can be easily anodized in vivid yellow, green, or blue (or a rainbow style). And this is not an acrylic paint. So, why not?
It also looks quite smart!
hahahahahaha
OR much easier, an enclosed welding booth purged with argon. You can easily convert a sandblast cabinet into one. Seal it up and put argon in it. It just needs more pressure than the outside of the cabinet. Argon is heavier than air so the cabinet really doesn't even need a top!!! (I cast titanium golf club heads for 15 years and built the welding cabinets AND vacuum induction machines).
@@reasoningtruth That's the DIY perks video in 1.5 years time.
This channel perfectly balances being able to demonstrate how the projects are done and being appealing to those who would never want to try doing something similar (like me)
Matt: "brass really is a fantastic material"
Aluminium: "no. no. no, I'm fine. as long as he's happy..."
Soldering aluminium is a fun activity too
@@chotabomjvonychi3485 xD
@@chotabomjvonychi3485 I think soldering's the reason he uses brass.
Harharharhar
We'll never forget you aluminium
if you want to avoid displacing brass you have already soldered together you should try putting wet napkins on the joints you don't want to melt, it works surprisingly well.
Or use cool gel
The fact that I have followed almost all his tutorials and the fact that my studio looks like a replica of this man, just proves how good his builds are.
Hmm...seems more like u r boasting how ur studio looks like his
i wanna see that... you have pictures or videos?
You're always smiling and your builds are so profesional. Amazing!!
Yeah, true...

I'm going to miss the "al-oo-mini-um" pronunciations.
This and some hinges, for a top half.
Combining it with the base parameters design of his watercooled ps5.
Only instead, adding a thin heat sink layer with a louvered bezel to the bottom (by having the ps5 build essentially upside down,) to maintain fan+passive air and thermal control.
Does add a slight thickness to the original slim concept, but with such wide area for thermal management using the whole base as essentially a passive heatsink, paired with the slotted bezel for dispersement of heat (aiming for rear exhaust channels) as well as intake of fresh air on all sides, I believe the added chamber could stay rather slim while simultaneously meeting or beating the watercooled specs without sacrificing a fan system.
Allows him to stick to the external power brick, grab a laptop bag and a ps5 controller, and he’s off to the races.
Potentially even adding a chance at a laptop battery-esque combo, for truly portable/wireless play.
(Even if the standalone battery life would most certainly be dismal 🤣)
All while negating the need of the waterlines+gigantic wall piece, which killed the first ps5 board.
Absolutely not bashing, I’m in love with your work and your channel, and would just love to see the first laptop style, ps5 “move,” be amongst your accolades in the DIY creator space.
I can’t thank you enough, for all the inspiration you give me in own home projects.
Please keep reinventing the way tech and sleek design, combine. 🖤

These micro sized controllers coupled with modern 4k touchscreen capable monitors is kind of mind blowing.

7:06 Lithium batteries normally have protection circuitry packaged with the battery. If you unwrap the black plastic/tape cover, there should be a protection circuit under there.
If you buy those batteries fron a electronic distributor, no protection circuit is build in. This is "normally". :-) And btw: Those circuits are normaly bundled with the charging electronics. Without a charging electronic the batteries doesn't make any sense.
