Plywood Drywall 4 Wheel Dolly
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.3 года назад
In this video I show a 4 wheel dolly that can transport sheet goods and is adjustable up to 2" to transport 1-3/4" solid core doors. (For more info, click "SHOW MORE" below) Because of the 4 wheels and wide wheel base it's stable in both x and y axes allowing easy transport on smooth or bumpy surfaces like grass. The 8" wheels give bump resistance and the casters give manuverability. I mainly b...

How to use an angle grinder to cut and smooth concrete
Просмотров 131 тыс.5 лет назад
How I used an angle grinder to cut down and smooth the ridge (high point) in our concrete driveway. The catalytic converter under our 2019 Honda Odyssey minivan was hitting the ridge as we drove into our carport. The technique can also be used to level high spots in a concrete floor. The result is a professional quality leveling without waves in the concrete that doing it just by freehand can h...

Awesome, but what about the temperature inside the box ? Again, great invention..
The fan blows cooling air through the quiet box. It works. Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos
Would have been nice to get the loud noise warning BEFORE the loud noise blew out my eardrums🤨🤦♂️
Very well done!
Good job buddy.
Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos

Could you specify which version of the Honda odyssey EX you drive? I’m kidding. Nice vid.
I purchased the instructions yesterday and they arrived this morning in an email. What an incredible amount of information provided!! The amount of instructions, drawings, sources, etc. is way more than worth the cost Morris asks. It looks like there would be little, if any, questions to ask. If anyone does have a question, Morris is willing and eager to try to answer them. Thanks for a great service!
Thank you very much for your kind comments. Wishing you a great build.
sheer genius😀
This is a very interesting a was thinking about how to make the generator more quiet good 👍 information
Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos
Genius !

Im wondering which size for bass and walleye fishing. 2000 or 2500?
For the first time I am sure, a 12+ minute video went by real fast. That's because it was exceptionally good and clear and useful as an instructional video. Thank you for setting the bar so high and sharing you great work. Just one thing though: no flip flops for jobs using tools and it would be best to kneel on one knee with your body/legs the "safe" side of the jig for added security.
I still have all of my toes 😉😁. Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos
Now I see why Honda always rates the ground clearance of the Odyssey at 4.5in. That is insanely low. Lower than most sports cars. Kinda dumb they couldnt figure out how to get 5-7in like most other minivans. At least its only the exhaust system and not the actual underside of the car.
Yes, the designers of the exhaust system for the 2018+ Odysseys should all be fired. It's the muffler, not the catalytic converter (I mistakenly called it the catalytic converter) that protrudes well below the underside of the van. Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos
@@RAPTOR8ASDF Agreed. Actually older Odysseys are also rated to be extremely low and have similar problems I believe. Actually a simpler fix would be to get taller tires and maybe even wheels for the car. Your speedometer would be off but that is the only major downside.
Where can I get the instructions
Thank you for sharing with excellent details, I shall model after yours Thank you.
interesting! Thanks for your good demo.
Thank you 👍
Wow. Just wow. I've seen a lot of quiet boxes on this RUclips that didn't quiet anything, but this! It's s awesome.
Yes i agree and its so comprehensive such as the sound baffles.
excellent. One of the best stands out there.
Looking to purchase your plans for the generator quite house. How can i do that?
Very impressive! For a first video this is a job well done. Congrats!
Projeto muito funcional, simples, facil armazenagem e muito útil.
where can i purchase your plan?
how loud was the Generator? Was it like 90Db (as in very loud?) - and what was it after the box? 70Db? - I fail to understand what his meter thing was showing.
Thanks good job . Liked the explanation and the testimg

how about durability and overheat inside box? it can damage alternator soon.
Mineral wool insulation lasts forever as far as I know. The fan prevents overheating inside of the quiet box. Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos
I’ll never understand why so many people feel their generator needs to be quite. So what.
You are the problem
Thank you! Just what I was looking for.
Thank you for your technical review. I was on the fence on size difference for a whipping reel and now I have clarification. I have the 4000 and use it for dunking and I'm really happy with the bg series.
great comparison, thanks
Wow. I must say this is quite impressive. I sent you an email to purchase the plans. I live at a renfaire 5 months out of the year and this would be amazing to have as we have noise restrictions after 10pm. ❤
Thank you. I received your email and sent the info on how to purchase the plans and step-by-step instructions for the quiet box and exhaust system. Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos
This is an excellent installation. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind comments. Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos
Or, buy a taller car.... or bigger tires.... or have a muffler shop raise that converter a bit... or just move to a different house... :)
Sure if you only weigh a buck five
Why spin the blade up ? Cut down avoid chips and kickback 😢
Thank you! Was planning to do something similar to expand a shed. Going from 10x10 to 10x20-22-24? with gambrel roof truss. Old shed has gable style with very little pitch. Will replace all the roof. Planned to use a wooden work bench that has casters, block up so no chance of sinking wheels, and attach "scaffolding" to framing to do roofing. Just realized, since doubt I can lift 4x8 sheets of OSB, why not cut it to 4x4 sheets? Was planning on at least 12 foot extension so would have been cutting some anyway.
Gee,I wonder what happens if that generator catches on fire in that house.
Heat Heat Heat that is my biggest problem. Have you measured the temperature inside the box. Here is what I built for my 12,000 watt duromax running on propane for 9,000 watt output. Yes I am in Texas so it is Hot here but today I measured ambient temperature at 82 degrees F. I built my enclosure out of the following foam board, (FOAMULAR 150 1 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. R-5 Scored Square Edge Rigid Foam Board Insulation Sheathing) It is braced with 1/2 x 3 inch for assembly purposes. I added a section of hard board for the area where the exhaust creates too much heat for the foam board. The inside is covered with the following sound panels from amazon, (24 Pack-12 x 12 x 2 Inches Pyramid Designed Acoustic Foam Panels, Sound Proof Foam Panels Black, High Density and Fire Resistant Acoustic Panels,) The air outlet is through two 9 inch diameter stove pipes which feed to a vertical baffle box which is unobstructed, but it does have baffles. I purchased a 1800 cubic feet per minute louvered ventilation fan and had it blowing into the box. from amazon ( KEN BROWN 12 Inch Variable Shutter Exhaust Fan Wall Mounted With Speed Controller 1800CFM For Garages And Shops,Greenhouse,Attic Ventilation) The box is very quiet yet after running for a few minutes an instant read meat thermometer placed on top of the fuel tank read 135 degrees. Yikes! If I removed the top cover completely the temperature went down to the mid 90's. sound reduction is only about 1/3 of having the top cover sealed and on. I think that is far too high a temperature for the generator to actually run in so I am considering a few modifications such as making the fan blow outward instead and removing the twin 9inch stove pipes to a wide open 2ft X 9inch opening. I will post an update when I try the design change but any ideas will be appreciated. Texas ambient temperatures run in the low 100's during the summer months so sound quiet box may not be doable during those times. UPDATE> I removed the exhaust panel box completely and I put a 20 inch box fan blowing inward. I reversed the 12 inch 1800 cfm fan to blow out and positioned it on the top instead of the bottom. Today was cooler mid 70's and the temperature at the center of the exhaust fan was running about 100 degrees. The thermometer sitting atop the generator gas tank is now reading about 85 degrees. The noise level is slightly increased due to the new open areas but it is still very quiet compared to without the quiet box. I think the box is a no go in Texas summer heat conditions because I don't think that running it in a 120 plus degree box air is going to fry something. I do think it will be beneficial during the rest of the year. We mostly get issues both spring storms and fall storms. anyway. It is rare to lose power in the summer hot days. I it goes out I will run the generator outside the box in the shade with a fan to keep that air as cool as possible.
