    This is one of the best "build it yourself" videos I have seen...So well thought out, planned and executed.....The instructions are crystal clear...and everything has been thought out to make the project complete without guessing or asking further questions...Excellent.....JRZ

    Hey guys, it's been awesome spending the last 2 hours with you. I hope I answered most all of your questions and comments. If not, there's a good chance your questions was asked by someone else, so look through the comments and see if your answer is there. I have to go back to work on the next project, so I'll see you soon with some cool new content. By the way, Propane torch is next :)

    I finished two slivers, one for me and one for my sisters for Christmas. Sadly I didn't pay enough attention and bought a 500 mA transformer instead of 3 amp. I had to order a new one, but after I installed it it worked exactly as yours does. Great project, Grant!!

    How to tie the knot @ 2:20
    -Have the wire already be stripped, separated, and looped at the end.
    -Drill the hole into the PVC pipe.
    -Now, *before* you add the elbows to either end of the PVC, push both ends of the wire through either end of that tube.
    -With both ends of the wire in hand, tie a simple knot (it really doesn't matter what type).
    -Now, take one end of the wire with a loop, and push it back through the other side of the tube, so that you have a wire with a loop at the end of it on either side of the first PVC Tube
    -Pull the original wire (the one that first enters the tube at the back) so that the knot is at the hole, demonstrated at 2:32.
    -Snake each looped wire through the elbow brackets, and proceed with the rest of this tutorial.
    PS: Awesome concepts, tutorials, and vids man. Keep up the work!

    Excellent build! I can see this also being useful for cutting other plastics as well. I'd also include an "ON" light for indication and safety reasons.

    To those who also build this: when assembling the wood base make sure you look at the way he assembles it and note that he switched up the 18" and 15" 2x4 with how to screw them in.

I used like thing galvanized steel wire any tips that could help me finish making this? I'm a big fan and I'm make a lot of your other projects such as the mini melt foundry and the baterangs. Any help would be useful. Thanks Cole 😂

    I just said this in another comment, but since I think it's a good idea I'll also say it separately: How about a homemade telescope for astronomy? Something below $100 (below $50 is even better) that anyone could build to view some of the brighter deep sky objects, such as the Andromeda Galaxy and the Orion Nebula for instance, and also be able to see the outer planets clearly? I'd love to have that project to do...

      +Pota MNL Productions Alright then, disregard the price restriction. Just added the constraint to make it more of a challenge for Grant and make the project more accessible for us common folk. That, and at $100 you can get a pretty good entry level telescope on Amazon. I was wishing for a scope project in the same ballpark range but with much better imaging. Just a challenge.

      It's not that epensive, the most expensive things in the project are the lantern battery (around $10) and the transformer (10-$20) so it costs around 30-$40 plus the equipment needed are pretty everyday: power drill, saw, wire stripper; if you don't do all the extra stuff and cosmetic bits he does (rounding, spray painting, power fuse, ect)

      He most likely has the right to submit this as a design patent (wire foam cutters on their own are ancient technology), but what garners massive amounts of respect is telling the world "Hey! I made this cool thing! Here's how I did it, so you can do it too if you like!", rather than going after people for infringement of Intellectual Property.

    I am building the Styro Slicer this week. It's been a fun and challenging build. I have to say, one part of the instructions seems a bit backwards. Trying to drill a 3/8 inch hole through a 3/4 inch pvc pipe while avoiding the electric cord running through it, seems counter intuitive. I found it much easier to drill both holes at the same time on my drill press. Note: I did it this way after following the video instructions, and completely shredded my electrical cord.
