I bought the Cleveland tool kit and it came with around 500 of the 3/32 clecos. I bought another 300 - 400 or so and that seems to be plenty. I have around 150 of the 1/8 clecos. You don’t need nearly as many of those.
Here is a humble suggestion... Instead of standing idle and talking in front of the camera... maybe sometimes talk while you're doing something or have a voice over the footage while doing something... that way you can condense your videos; make them shorter with the same information available...
That's not a bad idea; the talking while doing nothing is a little boring. The trick is that, well.. filming is kind of a pain in the butt. A large part of the time building this thing is spent staring at the plans, trying to figure out what to do, and then doing it; setting up camera angles and thinking how the eventual video will turn out takes a lot of bandwidth. So usually I just say what I'm going to do, take some footage while I'm building, and then hope that I can piece together a passable video.
@@buildingthe10 I'm not a videographer but I figure you are providing audio and then video with music. Why not combine the two with voice overs.. I don't know what kind of equipment you have but you could play a video that you recorded and then talk into the microphone describing what you're doing in the video that way the timing is right and synchronized. if you film something and even if you sped it up for us in a time-lapse you can still say something while that's going on and make your videos shorter.. I'm not suggesting getting rid of all the FaceTime video altogether just have a little audio description while the work is being done. Just my two cents gathered from watching thousands of hours of TH-cam videos.. By the way I always wondered what those clecos were called..
@@buildingthe10 I also wanted to say I know how you feel. I'm a sailor and have a few boats that I have to work on now and then (Nothing that flies). These things still have to get me home at the end of the day, so I get it.... I was an AMH (Aviation Hydraulics Mechanic) and Aircrewman in the Navy, so again, I understand the complexity of your build. Something this complicated and this important (not having a failure) has to be done right the first time. You might not have a chance to do it again once you've buttoned it all up. And it takes a long time to make sure you've got it done right (inside) before you've closed it up and can't get to the components anymore. Yeeeeesh! The "Did I miss anything." must come up a lot. Hold fast... Take your time.... I've subscribed so I'll be back to see what happens next.
@@J-Justice666 That's not a bad suggestion; my brother-in-law has told me exactly the same thing. I've also thought of adding text call-outs on some things, I think that would be pretty cool.
@@buildingthe10 Well this is going to be a loooong build, so you'll have plenty of content with no need at all to milk it. Haha. I hope you'll stick with the video making and keep us posted on your progress. JB standing by on 16.
You’re bringing a new plane into the world, she could be bringing a new pilot into the world. Simpatico.
What number of cleco do you recommend?
