I'm just having fun.
home-made twin beacon style light bar.
I figured since i had two matching lights, i would do something custom with them. So i made a twin beacon style light with them.

Finished up another forcible entry prop for training. I really wanted to make an all-around good training prop. That shows a lot of different ways and possible situations you will face on a call. And to put that all into one training station that doesn't take up a lot of space. Remember, you can't train enough when life and property are in danger. Stay safe out there. Sorry for the audio.

On my 2016 Mustang, the passenger side window stopped going all the way up when the door was closed. Did a little searching and found a couple of videos with some repair ideas that might help me out. Im not taking any credit for what fixed the issue, just sharing the information for others.

@marcs3982 they're old and noisy for sure.
Thanks man! Just bought a hood from Tesla 2K.. and when I picked it up, they opened the top and everything looked OK then they immediately went in and closed for the day and as I was loading, I noticed one of those studs had been pushed in. Locally it’s just for one of the bolts for one of the 2 shocks. So not quite as much pressure as yours, but same dilemma aluminum hood, and was about to go run all over town seeing if somebody could try and weld the thing. Where did you get the studs from? I’d like mine to be as close to the factory size as possible. Still have the factory bolt so when I touch everything up once it’s painted, I can touch that bolt up and hopefully it won’t be very noticeable. Again thank you.
@vrgs1385 i bought one of those variety packs from O'Reilly. Came with the stud and nuts for them. There were three different sizes. Now they weren't the same thread size, but the diameter of the stud was the same. So i had to use the nut that came with it. A little black paint, and you can't tell.
@@bluedakota80 awesome there’s an O’Reillys right down the street. I don’t think I’ll have room to sneak a tool behind so hopefully it’s strong enough. If not, I’ll have to go the other route. I do painless repair or at least I’m a broker now, but I have all my old tools I might be able to sneak one in behind for leverage. I’ll post back tomorrow and let you know how it went. Thank you so much for the video again!
@vrgs1385 hope it works out and gets you all fixed up
Thank you
Thanks for sharing! Do you have a photo of the spike(s) & washer(s) you used to anchor the structure into the ground? I’m essentially creating a base that’s an open back cabinet to build/mount the obelisk on top of and I’m considering spike/washer in through the base which is 2 inche thick foam/ combined with a few rebar/PVC sleeves countersunk around the perimeter of the base.
By the way I am not placing a statue on top of my obelisks so it won’t be top heavy. You might like this being a Ghostbusters fan but I’m trying to create an altar for Gozer (seran wrap/packing tape) and a few small store bought skeleton dogs and off to each side of the altar the obelisks to hold my lights to shine on Gozer/dogs as well as my foggers.
@kevincrabtree3482 i don't. But it's just a piece of schedule 40 water pipe. That i welded a large washer to. Then, i welded a bolt to the other end and grinded it to a point.
My question, where do people even buy these?
@vanbooth9564 all kinds of places. The manufacturer, county auctions, marketplace,, ebay, garage sales, swap meets, and other slae sites.
2:52 Awesome work! Do you have any tutorials or instructional on how you made the obelisks or an alter like on top of Dana’s apartment in GB1? Huge Ghostbusters fan here and I am struggling to make my own. I have a Ghostbusters themed Halloween display too and been wanting to add those elements. A few years ago I made my own gravestones using 2” thick pink insulation foam.
@kevincrabtree3482 Thank you, I dont have a video on that one, but here is another one i made. ruclips.net/video/iw9kku6QT6g/видео.htmlsi=g45V4SVb3M7Ell7h I do have a few other videos on how i make other structures that might help steer you in the right direction. Type in Halloprops it my other channel. Everything i make is made from foam wall baord and 1x2s to keep it light weight and easier to work with. If you need any suggestions, let me know. I'll try to help.

@leejenner3810 there're not bad for the price for what they can do.

How did you attach your roof? Nails? Screws?
@aprilh691 i used caulking on the whole roof. I used nails where i had foam on foam. And screws where it was over the wood framing. Those were mainly to hold until the caulking dried. Im adding a link to my more detailed video if you wanted to see more of the fab. I still didn't show the roof. On how i held it to the framing. ruclips.net/video/8xBSqeq3948/видео.htmlsi=4b9QKBbE-Gq5i__N
@@bluedakota80 thank you! Love your videos! I built a sleepy hollow bridge out of wood and foam and need to be able to assemble and disassemble it so I can store it. I was looking for ways to attach the foam roof. I might use bolts, but am not completely sure yet.
@aprilh691 you can glue wood to the foam. And when you set it on your bridge, you can do screws. Then when you take it apart. The roof with those pieces of wood will come off together.
@@bluedakota80 thank you!
Nice!
If you ever get a large enough power supply to run everything all at once I would love to see that!
Just like to say I got a 600 w power supply for my lightbars so thank u keep up the hard work from uk England
Great video. Thanks
Awesome video! Love the old incandescent beacons. Far and few between in the day of LED. Thankfully the radio towers in my neighborhood still use incandescents. Something about that slow burning flash that brings me back to a simpler time.
@mbaer5 Thank you, Same here. I like the slower look over the led.
Hi could you tell me what the name of the power supply is and the voltage of it for my light bars would appreciate that very much thank you we are from the UK England

@ameg7571 to be honest i haven't seen one of those with a holigen bulb in it. Most are a quarter turn incandescent light bulb. Either type you should be able to go on ebay or Amazon and type in the style and you should be able to find something that will work. I found these on Amazon not sure if this is what you are looking for.

@@bluedakota80 thank you so much Sir, I appreciate this link
Love the classics!
Old school rocks
@shawnramsey8264 🤘 Oh yeah
Do you mind adding a list of materials used, with links, if applicable? These look awesome, and would like to try it myself. Thanks!
@robvader theres not much in the way of links. Just about everything I used, you can get at Home Depot. The main parts is 3/4 foam wall board. You can use the style with the foil or the style without. The one without is normal a pink or blue color. The glue i used is from Loctite PL 300 caulking that i got at Home Depot. But any siliconized acrylic caulking will work. Then i get a box of 3" nails. Those aren't specific, just a nail. Its purpose is to hold the parts while the caulking dries. All the paints are latex house paint. Indoors or out works just fine. After all, they are not supposed to be perfect looking. The pray gun is from Harbor freight. They are cheap there. If you wanted to do the ball on top. I got those from Hobby Lobby they always have their Christmas stuff out super early. They are the large 6" Christmas ornaments. And last the fence. I kept those simple. Those are made with 1x2s from Home depot as well. And painted black and brown. Black for iron brown for rust. Depending on how big you want to go and how detailed they are, you can make two columns with one 4 x 8 sheet of foam board. In the design i made with leaving one side open for lights. Feel free to ask anything. I'll help with any questions you have.
Cool!
This is like my dream coming to life. Thanks for this. I hope to see one video with the lights off.

Does it stay in the open position every time you restart the car? Or do you have to open every time?
@@Zander13Productions it stays open. By manually operating it. It will only move when i use the switch
Excellent job! Thanks for the inspiration!
Came out nice
Hi, I love the idea of plugging the lights. What size converter did you use? I haven’t wired my lights yet, but everything I’m reading is I’ll need a lot of amperage. Ideally, I’d like to make mine do both (car power and wall power), isolate from the main wiring with a disconnect and connect through and 120v to 12v converter. Thank you.
@wytel_FPV a.co/d/9oTVZUX I cant find the one im using. But i use this one for my lightbar collection. More than enough to run the two lightbar.

I saw one of the Federal Signal bars (the second one down on the far left) still in use with a major cities police department yesterday, I was a bit surprised to see one of those 90's era lights still in use.
@MrDgwphotos With everybody going LED anymore. It is surprising to see something like that. Lot of times we'll see older bar like on an older fire truck because they don't upgrade very often. But police cruisers are different.
I would definitely go with the classic red and blue.
Very nice!!🎉

I’ve been trying to find the model of the blue, red and yellow light bar you have. It’s in the middle row, 4th one down.
That is a Whelen library led. This one is the first generation with the colored lenes with the red, blue, or amber leds. Most you will find of this model will be all clear lenes with the red, blue, or amber leds. After i get home i can send you the model number if you would like

Where did you get the house wrap?
Lowes. In the video, i did say house wrap. It is actually for roofs. That why it has that almost brick like print on it. You might have to ask. At my Lowes, it's on a shelf since it's only four feet.
Trying to restore a Public Safety Equipment Inc Model K36868 for a retiring buddy ... I'm hoping to figure out the wiring, but wondering if you happen, by luck, to have a wiring diagram for that model. I would love to get this thing working for his upcoming retirement party.
Im not sure which lightbar that is. Do you have a link so i can see what you have. Some lights, depending on the type, might need to control the box that mounts in the can to make work. Where others can work without it.
@@bluedakota80 Guess that may have been the serial number. It's a Code 3 MX-7000. Sorry about that ... I'll do some searches with that model number and see what I find. Anything you may be able to point me to would be appreciated! THANKS!
I have two of those bars. I can open it up and get the color codes of the wire that are in mine.
Appreciate the thought, but I just started testing each circuit and am figuring it out. I think I’m going to just light up the whole thing rather than make each element switchable. Thanks!!
Thank you very much for the thorough breakdown. This was a very informative video my man. Saved me a lot of time. 🥰

Get yourself a hand impact driver, the type you whack with a hammer. Better chance of getting those stubborn screws that are stuck due to galvanic corrosion. You can also try (counterintuitively) with the impact driving them tighter for a couple whacks just to break them loose.
Funny, i have one. Didn't think to use it. I've always had success using the clutch on the drill.
Amazing
Wow nice .btw How do you get paint off The plastic domes.. I can't seem to get mine off. There was some overspreay on and I don't wanna Ruin it by using chemicals.
A while back, i found a graffiti remover paint at Home Depot or lowes that was safe for plastics. But that was a while ago. I'm not sure if they still have it. But im sure you could find it on ebay or Amazon. The one all blue 9000 edge strobe. The guy painted the whole thing white. That's what i used to clean that whole light.
I use the red spray that they sell at the hobby store for model cars which is translucent and you can paint the bulbls of that. It looks perfectly like red glass.
I thought about that. Didn't think about checking a hobby store for the paint. But i found the red ones, so i just got those.
Epic job again
Thank you
