    How does this man not have more subscribers? There's several other channels with weaker content raking in subs. TH-cam's algorithm is doing the TH-cam world a disservice by not promoting this channel more. Keep up the awesome content Wesley!

    As a plumber I can tell you that when working with pvc, using purple primer before using pvc cement can make a whole world of a difference. (You do want to use the purple primer it's a lot better than those cheap clear primers or those primer cement in one cans) 🖒😄

    • @WesleyTreat
      @WesleyTreat  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      With or without primer, it just sets up too quickly. There are other adhesives that are intended to work with PVC sheet, which I may try next time. 👍

    You’re editing style is totally unique and I dig it. Also, the nerd troll voice is a nice addition; I prefer Jimmy’s squeaky troll, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks for the video. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that insane build, that thing is seriously impressive!!!!!

    Long ago, I worked for a scenery & electronics shop in Hollywood, building sets for game shows. The toughest part (emotionally) of any build was taking the final beautiful scenic pieces and drilling holes into them for the neon standoffs. Thank you for sparing me/us from seeing that painful footage!

    Such a beautiful project Wesley! Not only is it an interesting and challenging build. it is reviving an art form grounded in the 30's - 50's era. What brings me joy, it's that there are still clients ordering this kind of bespoke items today. And the trolling during the video in on point. Liked and subscribed.

    You could dodge the tapping stage by using taptite screws, they're trilobed screws that cut their own thread, eg 4mm. And it's a proper thread not just a self tapper. As a bonus feature, they're pretty useful for tapping threads in really awkward spots.

    • @WesleyTreat
      @WesleyTreat  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use self-tapping screws sometimes, but these were little #4 screws going into 1/8" thick material and I didn't want to risk any of them breaking. 👍

    Great video and build, I really enjoyed it. I really liked how the foam PVC came out, I was wondering why you chose it over something like a polyurethane tooling foam? I use the PU foam a lot in my model making work, CNC machining and woodwork machinery, but am looking at alternatives in fabrication. What brought you to using the PVC?

    • @WesleyTreat
      @WesleyTreat  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! PVC is what I'm used to, and it's readily available where I am. It's my outdoor replacement for plywood. I plan to try HDU for other sign work in the future, but I don't know how well it would work structurally.
