Building hanging shelves
I have a lot of games collected over the years. Instead of using a boring regular old bookcase to store them, I built a pyramid-shaped set of shelves that hang from the ceiling. Each shelf is 1/2" plywood. 1/8" steel wire runs through them and hangs from hooks screwed into the ceiling.

Installing large ceiling molding ... with a pulley?
Просмотров 1373 месяца назад
I have a coffered ceiling in the shape of a circle in my foyer. I wanted to add a ceiling medallion, a ceiling ring, and a chandelier to dress it up. Working with large molding is tricky, but a pulley system ended up working well. The chandelier is an LED ring light with multiple (6) tiers Links: High thrust caulk gun: amzn.to/3SoMZRt Ceiling medallion: amzn.to/3WtseFP Ceiling ring: amzn.to/3yf...
Hidden cabinet
Просмотров 4096 месяцев назад
I found some unused square footage in my house. I cut open the drywall, built a shelf to hold a cabinet, built a cabinet with fixed and adjustable shelves, and then built something (picture/panel/art?) to hide the cabinet. Here's a link to the jig I used to drill the holes for the shelf pins - worked great: amzn.to/4bFwM1R
Horizontal slat fence to hide AC units

Paver patio build using Brock panels

    Hmm, I will give it a try. I picked up a set of these from FB marketplace for cheap. I’m hoping to use it mostly for storage over winter, doesn’t seem to be smooth enough for daily use. As a very short person, this will be easier for me than just hooks on the ceiling. Thank you for sharing your install! 😊

    Thanks for the video. I installed these. You mentioned it was finicky to get them to go up evenly. I found them more than finicky. And for a heavier bike, I found it a real problem. It wanted to pull up one side more than the other. So as you desribed you have to help it; and the higher it gets the harder it is to help it stay level.

    In your formula for s, what is the 'r cos' mean where ir states - r cos(miter angle....) Does that mean r(radius) times the cos (cosign) times the miter angle OR does it mean the inverse cosign. Having lots of trouble getting your formulas to work. Thanks

    I would have tried to do a post firs to ask first if notching the original vertical 2'x6"'s would have degraded them. There's a question (at least by me) of if they load-bearing up-down (in which case, probably less). If just for support of the joists left-right, it might not have been an issue. And saved you a lot of work.

    Get your DIY projects completed by the time you're 60 because the DIY enthusiasm/willingness wanes as you age. I have many projects, but have been putting them off, and putting them off because I've lost interest in doing it my self. I'm 66.

      The Brock panels lay directly on the sand and the pavers lay directly on the panels. (Sometimes the pavers were not perfectly level with each other, in which case I added a bit of sand between the paver and the panel.)

    For your corners you can purchase "corner/elbow connectors" You cut each corner at the contacts and attach the cut ends of the LED strip. I've had bad experience with slight bends in my strips, seems overtime to cause some damage to individual LEDS. You can also try Ambient Sync lighting which sync the LED colors to the content on the screen. I have a few videos on my channel if you're interested in seeing what it looks. Subscribed.

    A good glass and tile cutter is necessary using a diamond or carbide wheel on a tile cutter for cutting glass tiles. Also glass oil on the wheel helps the blade stay sharp and in good shape to get clean cuts. Also Ive never seen anyone grout mirror tiles. Usually those are butted up together so I learned why and what not to do on this video. Sorry. Looked ok when done. Mirror tiles arent ceramic tiles. Theres a difference between them and how to install. Lol
