DIY Kitchen Light Update
In this video I'll take one of those ugly box kitchen fluorescent lights from the 70s and change it into a more modern light fixture above an accent area in the ceiling.

How to make a LED Floating Shelf
Просмотров 31 тыс.Год назад
Basement Dry Bar Part 2 In this video I finish up the dry bar build with a floating shelf and accent wall. The shelf has down LEDs similar to under cabinet lights and up LEDs for bottle display, hardwired with everything hidden behind the accent wall. The LEDs are powered by a 3 amp wall brick and run by an Arduino UNO. If you don't want to mess with learning how to code an Adruino, you can sti...

How I Made an Automatically Vented Litter Box
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
If something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing". In this video I'll take what we built in Part 1 and add in a fan for ventilation that is automatically turned on by a motion sensor (all controlled by an Arduino UNO circuit board). Since we are already utilizing a motion sensor, why not LED lights so we can tell when Taz is in the box or when the fan is running! Ultimate Litter Box Build Part...
This Litter Box Has A Secret

Dealing with cat litter boxes sucks. In this video I create a built-in litter box hidden in our guest bedroom closet that eliminates litter tracking! (no more feeling like we're at the beach walking around our house) Make sure to check out Part 2, where I add a fan that automatically vents the smell to the attic and 'occupied' lights, all triggered with a motion sensor!

Make Your Car Look Newer On A Budget! (2011 Rav4)
Просмотров 164Год назад
Tired of those headlight restoration kits only lasting a few weeks? If you vehicle is fairly common, consider just swapping out the entire headlight assembly! In this video, an average dad will change out the headlight assemblies on a 2011 Rav4 in under 3 hours to make it look newer. Thanks for watching, hopefully it inspired you!
The ones I used are just concrete landscaping stones. They could crack eventually from heat but I haven’t had a problem so far Thanks for watching!
What bricks did you use for this? Im from the Netherlands and for the life of me, i cant find these bricks
Greetings to the Netherlands! I found them at Menards, a big box store in the US, looking at large home improvement/garden centers is probably your best bet (if you haven’t already)
But do they need to be fire proof stones or what kinda stone, thanks for answering and the video sir!
Very cool. I have perfect spot too.
Great video thank you! Mightve missed it. Did you remove any stones other than the 4 at the bottom? What final size holes drilled at top of ring? See any issues if add a top cap? Thank you
Oh my gosh you called your cat, Taz, lol. That is the name of my cat to. Love the box by the way.

I would like to see a comparison( USING THE SAME FIRE )having the air intake ports in the bottom bricks BLOCKED vs OPEN.
I'd suggest adding a couple more courses of stone to raise the height of the walls of the fire pit. I noticed iron kettle firepits at a beer-garden once where the top of the kettle was about 4 feet tall...this allowed the smoke to drift off at about 7 feet or so...hence, without any air features added (it was just a big iron kettle), no smoke in the face. You wouldn't have to make it 4 ft. tall, but just raising it up a foot or two (along with the air-flow features) you'd achieve the same thing...any smoke you had, would go above the heads of those seated around the fire.
This. You need to raise the height to get the vortex going. You could dig the pit lower too.
I know this might be a stupid question but where did you get your bricks from? Im having a hard time finding the spacer bricks that match blocks at lowes and home Depot
Menards!
Bigger holes
Rocked it!
Genius idea, my brother in law told me about your video! Subscribed. I also has cats. I like them. Give Matt a hard time for me at the office
Did you do an all the surrounding yourself? Do you have a video on that as well?
Yup, lots of work and a couple weekends but less than $600 Check out the videos tab on my channel
At 19 seconds DON'T cut material that is wider than it is long on the table saw because of the increased chance of kickback. Material being thrown backwards into the person by the saw blade that binds up on the material.
Yup great point, a lesson I’ve learned since then, thankfully not the hard way
Very detailed instructions, worth sharing!
Thanks Muzata!
Today is actually Tuesday, so I considered subscribing. And did.
Thanks Stephen, happy Tuesday
The biggest difference I have noticed between the DYI smokeless pits and the Yukon is how much air is actually beneath the wood being burned. I imagine is the Yukon fills with ash it smokes a lot more. Although of the 3 videos I have watched so far, this one really looks the best. I love the look of the slimmer blocks you used between the larger ones.
Thanks Frank, appreciate it
The slim blocks are certainly a noice touch!
It is refreshing to see a man with an idea and somewhat of a plan and very little skill and experience doing these projects. That is not a put down by any means. It's good to see mistakes and how to overcome them and more importantly how to handle them maturely without throwing a fit. I often wonder if these professionals that create amazing projects w/o any problem at all while floating around on a cloud expected their comment section to be packed full of "uh-oh what do I do now" questions. Making it look it easy aint helping anyone. Maybe incorporate a little pow wow section in these vids and talk about real stuff for a few minutes. Maybe add a sidekick to belittle idk but THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING "MUSIC"
Mr. Wilson, thanks for the comment. Glad that resonated with you, that's the idea behind the channel, what someone without a bunch of experience, really fancy tools, or a really big shop can accomplish.
When u know its an exact roller and lubricated the crap out of it and tightened everything down. What can I do to fix it bec now it's louder than b4. Came across your vid when trying to find an option before replacing the very top roller.
Hey Grant, possible you may need a bigger fix if that's the case. If you tightened everything and it got louder something about the door may be out of square or not straight. If you know what roller it is you could dry a thicker grease first to see if that helps vs the lithium spray. May need toothpicks or small paint brushes to work it into the roller.
@Average_Dad thank you for the advice! O the wheels track and spring all got pray I'm going to try a thicker grease and go from there.
Ive noticed if i just build a big fire it will have minimal smoke no matter the setup
Looks really great
Thanks Rob!
At 9:23 you apply a paste to the soldered bit - I take it that's glue? Isn't that a hazard if it heats up?
Hey Thomas, good question. It was a silicone adhesive which typically have a working temp up to 300 or 400F so shouldn’t be an issue
awesome job!
Well done!
Your TinkerCAD link is broken. Could you please update it or send me the circuit and code. Thank you
Hey Chris, sorry about that I’ll try to get to fixing that tomorrow
Dear Guys Is there some project for this steel ring with holes? I see the diameter is around 30" right?
Do you mean a link for the fire ring product? I bought the ring and drilled the holes myself
Hello In fact here in Brazil is not popular external fire places like yours and I wanna build exactly the same...so diameters tickness are important also... if you can share more build infos I will apreciate Regards from Brazil - Porto Alegre City 😊
What diffuser panel did you use for the top lights.
24” x 36” acrylic sheet from Menards
Wow. Beautiful. Well done!!!
The burnholes might be a tad big? Smaller holes might shoot air or smoke faster than bigger ones.
Ya in hindsight I probably should’ve started a little smaller and tested it and made bigger if necessary
Looks good, but I was wondering how much is the gap between the ring and the blocks, also would a large gap help or hurt?
The gap is probably 1/2” to 3/4”? A smaller gap will allow a larger percentage of the air to come I contact with the hot insert, the hotter the air gets the faster it’ll rise and shoot into the fire at the top-so relatively smaller should be better
Thank you
How many of each of the bricks am I to purchase from Menards please. Wanting to recreate yours for my yard
64 of the larger blocks and 44 small ones! Good luck!
I lost my dear sweet baby Rav to the upper coolant hose failure, she was only 300000 miles old😢
RIP and sorry for your loss Sailboat
I’m no better with my woodworking, but I used minwax conditioner before staining & that made a difference in the appearance of the stain.😊
Good to know! Obviously haven’t stained much ha
Great help on my build! I did 6 holes in a 12" tall ring around 1 5/8" at the bottom (away from the intake holes as much as possible to get the air to start heating up) and formed my own top blocks with concrete, I think it works better than I expected.
Nice! Glad the video was helpful and the concrete capstones sound like a great addition
The second you called it a "spicy" deal I knew something was up
Any luck improving the “coveted” finger flames? Currently working on mine and glad I came across this video, super helpful! Thank you!
Hey TJIWM! I have not yet made any improvements unfortunately, haven’t been able to dedicate much time to it.. but glad you found the video helpful!
Maybe adding some vanes between the two walls to cause the air to take a longer path to the exit hole, giving it longer to heat up before it hits the flames. Also possibly adding a layer of insulation between the metal and the stone, so less heat is transmitted into the stone, although heating up the stone will cause it to radiate heat to people nearby so that's a trade-off.
your narration and editing is on point , keep it up
Thanks Trevor
