What purpose does it serve to move the vent down 4 inches??
I wanted to install crown molding and that would sit up against the ceiling. Therefore, I moved it down to accommodate. Otherwise I would have to do some weird trim work to make it look even half decent.
Thanks 🙏
идея как у всех, а реализация отвратительная. каретка вообще не ездит, ее постоянно клинит, оттягивать надо рукой назад. в конце видео видно что шестигранник не ровный - где-то больше отпилено, где-то меньше. где-то касается линии реза, а где-то нет. в общем получилось рукожопо
No one else covered this. I just got a capture card and I was hoping this was a possibility. Ty
I don't get it, I don't see any ducting
This house is old enough, code at the time it was did not require ducting for return vents given that the space itself will already redirect the air.
try with the background music down a bit
When i do it this way my sceen gets dimmed
To clarify, is the dimming happening on the gaming or streaming PC? If it is on the streaming PC, check the obs on the gaming PC and the source. You should be able to see if there is any filters and adjust brightness.
@gmxdiy8596 it Dims on gaming pc obs as soon as click on my game
Double check that you don't have your monitor settings interfering with how it looks. Common things that may interfere is HDR, sharpening, v-sync on the monitor settings that should be looked at. A quick Google search can land you some other alternatives to try and fix as well.
so i have to have obs open on both pcs ?
Yes, you do, but luckily, on the first PC you don't have to make many scenes as you are just sharing it to your other screen, rather than actually streaming or recording.
Nice one!
Whats the purpose of that metal casing you snipped off? I'm thinking of doing the same to my return air vent, but wasnt sure what to do with the metal casing. I see you didn't need to put it back.
That was to originally frame the opening. It helps with rigidity if there is any force applied to the vent. You can buy some and place them back if you want, but I don't believe it's entirely necessary since it's not an actual lined duct.
Just a note - never leave wood uncontrolled between the fence and blade. Push it on through. Kickbacks hurt and can send you to the hospital. Thanks for the lantern idea! Love the 2-tone look!
100% agree! I will be looking out for that in the future! Glad you liked it!
So stressed to see all the dirt! Vacuum first? Please clean your home!!!
thanks a lot for sharing such a great jig. In making hexagon lots of wood pieces go to dustbin. Can you suggest anything or plan that can bring wasted pieces in use. I dislike victorian furniture due to wantage factor of wood.
Maybe try working on a bench😂
😅 I am making one now! My garage didn't have much when I bought my house.
Crosscutting against a fence is not advised. The stock can jam between the blade and the fence with violent result. Using a sled and stop block is accurate and safe.
100%, I am remaking this to revise and add some of those additional safeguards! Highly appreciate the insight.
💐 *Promo sm*

going to try this. Bought a Bissell carpet shampooer and it seems like it made the stains even more prominent ugh thanks for this
When cutting out the drywall where the vent was being relocated, it was possible to cut it out with a drywall saw and reuse that piece of drywall to patch the previous hole. Instead of having to cut new drywall, you would then already have that piece cut out that was the exact size you needed. All the other steps would be the same.
Highly agree. When I pulled that drywall off I neglected to take all the screws and such out. Also with those vents some have trim pieces that make it hard to get the drywall off cleanly, but all the power to ya if you get it in one piece!
A box cutter makes a clean line but using a drywall saw (I just do this by hand if it is small and geometric) after this along the guide lines you have cut to cut all of the way through the drywall will also save you from digging out small pieces.
Hi, great build. I'm just a little confused. I'm Not trying to negative but what size go in the middle of the crown molding. It will help everyone to know what size wood you are using at the time you are using them. Thanks for sharing.
Highly appreciate the question! All the listed sizes are in the description!! Let me know if you need more specific details, but all should be there!
Please watch a few videos on table saw safety.
Learned a lot for comments already. Working on that! I'm not an expert, but appreciate the feedback
Thank you for your video!
No problem! Hope it helped!
Buddy you need to build an outfeed table
Definitely do. Learned a lot since this video! Might remake this one with all the changes I should make
Thanks for your vid, I've been thinking of doing the same but moving a cold air on the floor up some inches to clear the baseboard. Your video helped me figure out how to approach this. Thank you!
Glad to hear!!
Seems pretty overcomplicated to me
The runners should be thinner than the depth of your slot. The way you've done it, the center will "sag" and reduce your accuracy, if they don't pinch your blade causing a kickback. Also rolled up tape is a crap way to attach, either use double sided tape or allow a few drops of glue (with weight on top) to set before drilling and screwing.
Great notes, I'll be taking that into consideration and likely redoing that
@@gmxdiy8596 One other suggestion: when dropping the plate onto the runners, slide the fence over and use it as a guide to brace against as you tip the plate onto the runners.
I appreciate it! Thanks for the insight.
What was the name of the crown molding use used? Is it used for ceilings of base boards ?
Is a capture card mandatory for this process?
There are other methods, but unfortunately they are of a lot lower reliability and quality most of the time. Some other are methods of screensharing/casting. Avermedia has some lower cost capture cards that are quite reliable in my opinion.
My bedroom doesn't have a return, can I simply create a hole in the wall and put in a grill?
It actually needs to tie into a duct. Typically in the floor boards there is a duct along the length of the house that returns to the HVAC that replenishes the air. Would highly recommend calling a professional to assess at that point. Hope that helps!
I don’t think that horizontal blocking was necessary at all.
Looking back I agree, but doesn't really hurt either and I had some spare 2 x4's that were gonna be scrap otherwise.
PLEASE , SLOW DOWN, TAKING IT APART , CANT SEE ANYTHING YOU ARE DOING👍
Will do. May re-edit and make it clearer!
Always hold the piece between the fence and the blade the way you did that is a way to get hurt fast.
I read your dog's mind the entire video. Says, "He cuts four sticks in 30 seconds. He throws none for me to fetch.. He teases me with 2 sticks then hides them from me. Come over to see why these 2 sticks are now sticky. Lie down, not throwing any sticks for me, but I am watching, hoping, waiting patiently. Maybe next time
THANKS
Ty! TGTLN told me today this way gives less lag then cloning the screen with the NVIDIA control Panel. Gonna test it.
Nice! Hope it works well for you! TGTLN is a beast! I watch him too!
Does a return vent like the one in your video need an air filter in it?
In my case, no. The HVAC return duct has a filter at the main unit in my basement. This is usually the case for most whole home HVAC's. Adding extra filters in return vents has diminishing returns and can sometimes cause issue if not maintenanced properly. I would recommend that if you are wanting to increase filtering, buy a higher rated MERV filter for your HVAC and replace that filter every 6 months.
@@gmxdiy8596 Thanks for your reply!
No wood glue on any of the joints....
Due to using the blocks, wood glue would not be supporting anything. If you were copeing, you would be relying on the joint to hold the corner shape. Hence why no wood glue.
Muy practico
Thank you for your tutorial. By the way, your dog is so cute, love him :) <3
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Sangat bermanfaat,terima kasih sudah berbagi ilmunya 🙂👍🙏
Is there a duct inside that drywall cavity that channels the air back to the furnace?
No, a lot of return vents, at least in my area, are built into the wall between the joists and it does connect to a duct in the floorboards
@@gmxdiy8596I just bought a house and it also does not have it… is this good or bad for AC AND heating ?
If you have an HVAC, it will have some form of intake, which is the purpose of these return vents. It may be drastically different based on your setup though. It may not be needed at all depending on where you live, your house arrangement, etc. If need be, I would contact and HVAC specialist in your area for consultation if you want to explore or learn more about your specific situation.
Good jig man. But one side it doesn't look came out right. Did you notice??? In any case I have learned the technique which is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
I did! Sharp eye. Definitely had a bit of slop in my jig so I actually cleaned it up and works a lot better now. But for the initial purpose it worked for what I needed. Thanks for watching!
The dog is the supervisor
They said it looks a little woof, but they'll accept it
I was actually hoping you were making them as a shelf, but this only helps if I want a back to the shelf
The nice thing is that the jig being used would give you the angles needed to make the shelf parts since they are at the correct angles! May make one specific to that!
@@gmxdiy8596 Very true. I am making them for a cat wall
Amazing and Simple. Thank You!!!
- During the next few weeks, would you please show the details of how to measure & cut the 45 degree angles for the tops of the lanterns. It's not as easy as it looks. Thanx 4 sharing.
Will do!!
Great inspiration and info! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing and providing the detailed cut list
No problem! Thanks for watching! <3
This helped me so much!! Thanks so much for this! I looked through so many videos and finally found yours.... thanks again😁
Awesome! I'm glad it worked well!
Paint the inside black so you don't see the studs and drywall. It makes a difference.
Good suggestion! 👍
Or flip the vent over
Potentially, but I think those need to be angled in towards the room so as hot air rises, it falls into the vent. Not 100 percent on the fluid dynamics of that though haha
No dynamics, they're angled so you can see into the duct. Air gets pulled into the duct no matter what
Gotcha, more based on pressure and everything? Makes sense. Definitely interested in learning more about that stuff
