My channel is about showing people that it is possible to take your ideas and turn them into reality even if you are not an expert and you only have a small space with minimum inexpensive tools. I want to remove the 'oh I can’t do that' that stops people trying and show that great things can be made one small step at a time. I can do it and I’m Know Expert.......

Old car renovation, back seat upholstery.

After pricing up the cost of reupholstering the seats I decided to try myself. I bought a sewing machine and watched RUclips videos on how to do it….. it might not be perfect but it’s good enough for a first attempt by a novice, I’ve been sewing for about 3 weeks now here’s the result.

How I made my Snakeboard longboard skateboard

Just like most other people I woke up one day and thought today I’m going to make a Snakeboard. A longboard style skateboard being eaten by a huge snake. It’s really just going to be a piece of art but does it actually work? well, yes I designed it to look like it was passing through the wood underneath where I stand so maybe I’ll make another video of me riding it.

I wanted to try and make my scooter a little faster but after realizing that changing the motor meant changing the batteries and then the speed controller I decided to leave that for another project and go with the cheap option…. Just changing the tyre. Here’s what happened.
Solar oven cooking. King Prawns in Tomato and Basil sauce with Onions and Garlic

Cooking one of my favorite meals in a solar oven. King Prawns in tomato and basil sauce with garlic and onions all cooked by using only the power of the sun. It was around 34 degrees when I made this video so I thought why not make one of my favorite meals and let it slowly cook using just the suns rays for free whilst I go off and sail my boat and by the time I got back it was all ready.

Upgrading the peddle to propeller spins gear ratio on my DIY Miniboat, peddle boat.
Просмотров 403Год назад
A few years back I made this mini-boat, it’s peddle powered but just seems to easy to peddle. I’m going to try and increase the peddle to propeller spin ratio without making it to hard which could put too much torque through the angle grinder head used to convert the direction of the turn from chain sprockets to propeller drive shaft. If I can manage to achieve that then next week I’ll take it ...

After watching Epic UpCycling make one of these I was so inspired by his work that I decided to try and make one of my own. It was a lot harder than I imagined especially in my tiny workspace. I had to solve a lot of problems and learned a lot from my experience. I’m really happy how it turned out and already thinking about the next project.

If you put the trailerr hitch on the rear axle instead of up high near the seat it'd be much more stable and easier to tow. Dramatic music so unnecessary.

How about Robocop ford torus from 1987 movie
Hi Justin, all the cars I make have to be made without a roof because of the scale and getting someone into it. Unfortunately removing the roof of Robocops Ford Taurus would change the look of the car too much. Think F1 car or a Tractor or I might get away with a Ferrari but only because there are so many others features for people to recognize it. Thanks for watching. Know Expert.
Finalmente ho trovato qualcuno che è riuscito a spiegarmi chiaramente come calcolare il trunnion , grazie mille

Благодарю за видео ! 👍🙏
Just discovered this, a little late the party. Awesome build! Do you sell the plans you made by chance(if you still have them). I built a power wheels version, but this is far more advanced and I’d love to purchase the plans.
Hello, sorry only just seen this. I didn’t receive any notification….. As for the plans unfortunately they were very basic and I had to change a lot of stuff as I went along. If I was making it again I would make the fins a little smaller and add them separately after making a box section body. I incorporated the fins into the box section on this build and that meant a lot of work with compound angles. Something I struggled with a bit. If you make one use a minimum 16mm bar for the rear axle as the 12mm I used worked but was right on the limit. Good luck
No worries. Thanks for the info. Awesome buikd
Bought a rifle slingshot from China, poorly made, Laser is identical to yours (Different name) and is a red dot, supplied with no add-ons no box or battery. The red dot sight is a complete waste of time as it's only effective in low light/night or less than 10 meters away. The best way to be more accurate is box the laser and target manual. Better grouping and more accurate to around 15 meters but I only use clay shot. If ball bearings were used the range would increase and accuracy. But don't forget the elastic as that controls your power. Good luck
stumbled across this again, the triple-camera point at the end always makes me chuckle. love it!
You forgot panel ovens, you can make one out of a car sunscreen and will hit 60° in clear sun. Perfect for slow cooking
Ay up lad. Enjoying the vids, thanks for sharing. Where in UK are you from?
Au up herself, originally from Manchester but now living in France. Glad you like my videos, nice comments like this make me want to make more and I just might do that again soon. Cheers. Know Expert
A joy to watch your videos a lot of fun as well. Always inspiring and I admire your imagination to keep coming up with great ideas and sharing your knowledge. Well done. One Handed Maker - Australia
Thank you very much for such a nice comment, I think it inspires me to make try and make videos more often….. mmm I think I might! Thanks. I just viewed your channel and WOW, I’ll be checking out more of your stuff. That is TRULY inspiring! Know Expert
That oven would work in Germany, but only in summer and only for cooking. I also started with ovens like this, but if you seriously want to use the sun for cooking you need something bigger. My current setup can reach up to 200°C on hot days which means I can roast and bake, with less sunshine or in winter I'm still able to boil water, cook soups, stews etc.
It’s true that it could use a few tweaks to get more out of it but for what I use it for its great. 200c though wow that’s impressive the most I managed with this one is 106. I’ll check out your channel. Thanks.
@@Know-Expert I like to have a litttle extra power, just to be on the safe side. It's frustrating if you prepare a meal and then it won't cook properly or takes forever when people are hungry 😄
Buy a $8 glass cutter... so much faster and better... score and tap. I worked with stained glass for 5 years.. my father for 25.
Hi Rylee this was my first attempt ever at cutting glass and I didn’t have the level of experience you obviously must have. I kept trying to just cut it but it kept snapping the 'drip' hence I had to find a different method and this was it. I have various glass cutters and I can cut straight lines and curves quite easily now but still not as round as those drips. Thanks for watching.

Hi Greg, as this was a first attempt I just used what I had lying around which in this case was Pine. It was very dry and fortunately I got no resin seeping out after it was finished. Thanks for watching. Know Expert
This is by far the best trunnion video on RUclips. Thanks for the most complete explanation of it, I've been looking for this in a while.
Wow, high praise, thank you very much. I do try and explain things as I would like to hear things explained to me!
@Know Expert Same here, I couldn't understand how trunnions work before your video. Now I'm sure I can build one that works, not like the other 2 tries that I failed.
Nice job Alan, good to see another video from you. How is the restoration of the Alpine going?
Hi Mike, it’s getting very close to painting time. I’m in the preparation process at the moment and then it’s off to the sprayer. When it comes to painting I’m definitely No Expert!
Looking forward to more on the Alpine, just do some 1.42 minutes for the brain dead who have the attention span of Goldfish. 1.42 the length of a short youtube
Alright Dennis. These days RUclips want you to cram everything into a 1 minute video 😲 it should change it’s name to YouTok or is TikTube ?
@@Know-Expert I know,I'll never join Tikitits or what ever it's called. People I still watch do video's over 30 minutes. It's all about revenue for the posters. I'm not interested in watching a video that short,give me decent long content
Good man! My microphone seems to have fixed itself so maybe another video soon……..
A nice job. For very little money you have achieved a great result, well done.
I’m very happy with it, just 1000 more jobs to do now 😀
Well i never... That worked incredibly well mate nice one.
Cheers mate, better than paying 200 euros for a (very) cheap re chrome.
@@Know-Expert bit of an unpleasant process is chroming, I'd want good money to paddle around in cyanide all day. Good to have you back mate.
Really loved the ending! I am going to try and make one of these, those I am sure it won’t be as posh as yours! Thanks for the instruction!
Thanks for the nice comment Brad. I forgot about that at the end. Before making one read the reply to the comment before yours, it gives a little more info. Thanks for watching.
Nice idea for 4 axis cnc router
Mmm, might give that a go……… thanks for Watching
So cool!
Thank you very much.
so with regard to trunnions ...one cant use bearing and shaft set up??? to get 45degree saw cuts (swivel on bearing shaft instead of trunnions) it has to be trunnions ? so as to avoid large saw hole on the 45 degrees? is this correct? cheers mate
Hello, yes I believe it’s correct. I think that if you tried a bearing that half of the bearing would be above the table surface due to the pivot point having to be in the shaft center. Thanks for watching. Good luck.
@@Know-Expert cheers mate
It might be worth doing a progress video to see how it's come along!
oh my god, only 3 minutes in and your editing for this one is absolutely brilliant! If I start making videos i'll have to hire you :p
ironically, the wood detailing on the back might be one of my favourite parts. It all looks absolutely brilliant and it's a shame I couldn't stick around to see it finished! super proud, beautiful work!
"a little bit opaque, a bit clear" - so not opaque then ;) opaque means you can't see through it, translucent means light passes through it but you can't really make out any details (like fogged glass) and transparent is like normal glass haha.
really looks amazing though, i remembered how it looked in real life and had to revisit this video haha.
You've ruined a great job with that crappy music. Maybe just talk through the video.
You're freaking awesome for the "Do What?"
Quel beau travail Alan, je reconnais ton côté perfectionniste. Vraiment bravo pour ce magnifique meuble, j’adore ce que tu fais … bisous 😘
You brave man. That looks stunning. I would love to get my hands on a set of tools like that.
Thank you very much. Apparently the man I borrowed them from made them himself out of old files.
This video is so FAKE! Why are there no quality RUclipsrs. Wasting my life. Friends, the video begins at 6:20. The rest is obvious junk.
10:16 this is no way the same piece you cut by your lines made at 9:29. The way you drawn your 45 line from the center would make the right wing of this piece go above the horizontal line of the bottom piece when turned to right, because your 45 line crosses the real center. I hope you understand what I mean.
Hello @atenik you are correct the 45 degree line does pass through the centre. However if you notice the horizontal line has been scratched out and a new line drawn below it. If you draw a 90 degree line from the centre of the circle on the scratched out horizontal line down until it meets the new cutting line you will find that the 45 degree line does not pass through the pivot point. You can see the finished result at 13.05 where the 45 degree lines pass each side of the pivot points. You were correct to notice that had I cut it along that line the side would indeed have been above the horizontal. Its not easy making and editing videos and sometimes little explanations get missed out. You can see that it works in the follow up video I did. Thanks for watching.
@@Know-Expert thank you for the explanation. Yes, I did notice you cut below the horizontal line, but only for the left of center side. The right side still runs though the center along the 45 line, doesn't it? Maybe my imagination is tricking me. Are you sure you didn't extra cut the right side to make it below the horizont of the bottom piece? I will make a model from cardboard today to check my theory.
@@atexnik once you make your piece and you cut the horizontal below like I did in the video you will see how even though the 45 degree line passes through the centre (pivot point) that the actual corner where the horizontal and 45 degree pieces meet is now below and to the right of the centre. Then when the box the saw sits in is tilted to 45 degrees the part sits flush with the bottom of the table its in. It took me ages to draw and get it right and it was only by making it that i finally understood it. Thats when I decided to make the video. Have a go with some old bits of wood and let me know how you get on. Thanks again.
@@Know-Expert hi. I made two pieces from a paper, and as I predicted, the top piece raises above the horizontal line of bottom line as soon as I tilt it to the right. Now, to fix it, I just had to shift the 45 line left of center. Are you sure you didn't do that as well? I checked with other similar projects with plans, and the 45 line is going as left of center, so that when tilted, it doesn't go above the hor. line.
@@atexnik I had to just re watch all the video to find out why you think I changed the pieces. Its the same piece but listen to what I say at 10.05. I say I’ve just cut the pieces to 45 degrees. Now take a look and you will see its the same piece but its just had the thickness of the table trimmed off both sides. Now I understand why you think its a different piece and why you think it will rise above the horizontal. On the video you actually see the scribbled out horizontal line but the 45 degree line must be drawn on the opposite hand piece. I then placed them back to back to make them exactly the same. They honestly are the same pieces I made. I have nothing to gain and everything to lose by cheating viewers. Any mistakes are editing faults and are not intended to mislead viewers. I have another video of my electric scooter and in the video I make a mistake with the speed controller. It would have been very easy to just speed up the film to me it look good but instead I actually explain this and say that I do not like to mislead viewers. Watch the video again and you will see that when I said I have trimmed them to 45 degrees I did this by trimming the thickness of my table off both the horizontal and 45 degree lines and not changing the pieces. Do this with your paper template and you will see the pivot point is exactly where the blade passes through the surface of your table no matter how thick the table is. I hope this is the proof you need to see I’m no cheat! Thanks again though for such a keen eye and all your interest. Happy new year. Know Expert I’m glad I finally
Bonjour rien de neuf
Bonjour rien de nouveau
i love that you have such a variety of different activities that you've tried out - woodworking, food, glass-work, hand-sewing... and now machine-sewing and upholstering! it's great to see the progress you've made since you first started :D

Merci Carole je suis très heureuse avec le résultat.
Hi Alan you are getting to be a dab hand on the sewing machine like the neat solution to replace the pop rivets too!
Hi Mike, I’m surprised at how much I enjoy using the machine and even though I say it myself some of the bits I’ve done aren’t half bad. I’m looking forward to seeing the interior all finished.

Thanks Will, I had fun making it.
@@Know-Expert I ordered some parts and am gonna make something off your design !
@@willvandermeer4733 that’s fantastic! Have you seen the other video that shows me making it? If I can be of any help just ask. Good luck with your build.
@@Know-Expert I haven't! I will check it out. My only question is how long is it from buttstock to the end of the Rifle?
Nice. I looked at this design the other day on another video. I'm researching before I build a solar oven that will bake/cook outdoors at 25-32 fahrenheit to extend solar cooking here in the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado.
Steve, this design is good but I mainly built it because I think it looks better than a box type for RUclips views. If it’s for efficiency I recommend the box type with four mirrors. They get hotter as the mirrors reflect all together into the center. That said mine reaches 106 c and anything over 80 c (I’m sure it’s 80 or thereabouts) will cook food but it just takes a bit longer. Also the lack of extra mirrors on mine means I have to adjust the angle every now and again to have direct sunlight. Look through my other videos and you can see me using it. Thanks for watching I appreciate it. Good luck with your build. Know Expert
Interesting but I think the wood inside the box leads cold in/heat out.I think it should be insulated on the inside too.I made a sodacan solar heater and used insulating material with metal foil surface and painted it black.Have to test this up here in Finland.👍
Hi Lex, when it comes to making things for the first time I’m no Superman, he he, but yeah since making this I’ve added steel plates to the interior and painted them black. They get super hot and even if I open the oven to remove something the hot steel retains the heat. Thanks for watching my video. Know Expert
