I had to hit the Return to Home button when I lost my video feed. It worked perfectly! I'm so glad to have the safety net of a return to home button.

An EF2 tornado hit a stretch of Mt. Juliet, TN on 1-30-2013. This footage was taken using an AR Drone 2.0. It was really windy so the video is a little shaky.

Ultimate Trebuchet DIY Project
Просмотров 18 тыс.12 лет назад
This is video of a medieval siege engine called a trebuchet. It is not a catapult as many people don't know the difference between the two. This was the ultimate in siege warfare until the cannon was invented. Mine is 27 feet tall, the throwing arm is a willow oak tree, and the counterweight ranges from 1600-2000 pounds. The projectiles were watermelons, pony kegs, and 16 pound bowling balls. T...
Thanks
Dude, I have the same blinds, problem and saw. Outstanding
THANKS! YOU SAVED ME $200
Don’t ask me how, but I ordered my blinds from Home Depot 1” too wide. I must have been altered when I measured. Now I see a way out. I will let you know how it turns out.
what size blade did you use? what it an 80 T blade? thanks!
Thats a finish blade on the saw. More teeth
I did this with a hacksaw, as I don't have a mitre saw. My results were good but cutting through the thin steel housing is not easy as it's very flexible and the saw binds. I can see the real advantage of the electric saw.
Excellent video and info; thanks much!
Great tips I was worried about it blowing debris all over but the tape and clamps will really help. Thanks
Thank you. You saved me 2500 dollars.
13:25 This video was very helpful. Thanks !
Just the answer I was looking for. Thanks!
That was brilliant x now I will get my son to do it 😘😂
Nice job!
What type of blade did you use?
Super helpful! Found something similar at a yard sale-paid five dollars for hundred-ish dollar wood blinds! Thanks again!!
Thank you. I have three 38" windows I need faux wood blinds for. I can only get a 36" and be too small, or 39" that likely won't fit. Thanks for this helpful video. I'll get the 39's and cut them down an inch or so. Super helpful.
I ordered my wood blindside to measure and realised upon installing that the skirting comes in and the last 5 are too wide, what is the easiest way to fix this?
I dont have any saw. I dont mind buying a handheld one . Is it still possible?
Fantastic video! I contacted Levelor for cutting my Faux Wood blinds down, and they will not budge in providing this service; they said it would violate their warranty on my blinds that already have expired warranties. Thanks, we can play the big business game too!
Their blinds say they can fit windows much smaller for ex a 42"" blind will say on the box: "Will fit windows 36 to 42" Why sell with that feature if you void warranty if you utilize that feature???
@@zoararielbatabba7493 It's a marketing scheme for sure. I did cut mine similar to the video. When I cut just one blind, the result was perfect, but when I taped them together and cut many of them, the saw blade kept heating up and melting the edges of the blinds, so I had to later file each edge by hand to smooth them out. I had many blinds to cut, and I tried sawing slowly and fast, but the edges still melted. The faster the blade traveled the less the melting. What also helped was placing a wooden board on the top of the blinds while cutting them to prevent the melting blinds from building up past the edges because the melting blind was so hot that a buildup caused melting past the edges. My project involved 9 sets of blinds to be cut, and they look fantastic, but it took much time filing the edges to make them look perfect...I am happy with the results, especially since Levelor would not cut them...they wanted only to sell me new ones.
Didn’t you cut the side support as well? I don’t know how to remove it / reinstall it on the sides of the top rail
as long as u have miter saw !?!
Was the headrail metal or plastic?
Metal
How can I make sure the edge after cutted is still white not oringal wood color......Thanks
The plastic is the same color on the inside and outside. For the metal edges, you have plastic coverings that you place over them.
Thanks, you saved the day for me!
Awesome!
Ty. Just spent an hour and a half to get these cut at lowes and the person cut them to long. It was such a head ache trying to get anyone to help me that I really don't want to go back. I do however have my own tools so I guess I'm gonna give this a shot and resize it myself.
You can do it!
Thanks bro. I have to cut some today and I was afraid I needed a different blade. Looks super easy. Thanks again.
Thanks, will try this today!
Did you have much luck doing this? Any tips?
Would a 180 tooth 10 inch blade work or be overkill?
I think that would work really well
@@TheDIYers I appreciate the reply and very informative video.
This video was a great help. Worked like a charm.
Perfect! Glad it helped!
Nice!!! Im gonna have to use a saw to do this and your setup idea to clamp it.. thanks!!
How do you do it without all gear you've got???
Did you really do a 43 second cut with the mitre?!?!
Haha! Yes I did
Figured this would work, but glad someone made a video to confirm it! Thank you! Nice deal btw.
I need to find someone or somewhere to cut mine. I don't to repurchase it again. 😪😪😪😪
Good job 😃
Thanks for the help
Very helpful thank you for sharing
Great vid, 15mins of set up to save an hour of individual marking and cutting . I’ll be cutting / or destroying mine in the morning 😬👍🏻
How did you get on with it? Any tips?
Looks like he used a 12 inch Fine cut blade. Fine cut usually starts at 80 teeth but it might be a 90 tooth blade. These are usually for cutting trim. That looks like a 90 to me. The mitre saws typically come with 60 tooth blade out of the factory. You’ll have to purchase the 90 tooth blade snd they are not cheap. Be prepared to spend upwards of $70-$80. If you’re going to cut metal with it, it won’t last long.
Thanks!
Awesome! I ordered custom blinds but was off by 1” on the width. :( I could have them remade and wait three weeks, but we’re going to give this a try. Thanks for the video!
Hello, did you manage to get them down ok? Any tips?
Thanks for the tip. Saved me hundreds. Worked just like you said.
Hey great video and like you say a brilliant saving on your blinds if your more than happy to do a little extra work to take advantage of not having to pay a lot more for the made to measure ones. All I need to do now is find a miter chop saw at a bargain price to do the job otherwise I'm kind of defeating the object of these great savings.. Going to be hard to find one decent for under 250 I'm thinking 🤔
What about borrowing or hiring?
Thank you for making this video, I have three clearance blinds that need cutting, and having watched you, I'm now happy to cut mine down too. Luckily one of my sons left a similar saw at my house :)

Great answer to my question that I asked the all knowing Google. Taking my blinds into work tomorrow then 😁
We just had all new windows installed and now all of our blinds are just a tiny bit big😫 so thank you for this video! We’re going to start cutting and see what happens! Hopefully save ourselves from buying all new blinds!
