Gene, I may not comment on every video but know that there is a woman in Belgium watching with a smile from ear to ear every time, lol.
Thanks for your videos and friggin awesome projects.
Thank you so much. It’s so nice knowing someone in Belgium is enjoying them.
A small Eddison bulb when the machine is ON would have been a nice touch too.
That's a great idea.
Gene!! You da MAN!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR HUMILITY!! That's the only path to who we really are. And love the fact you don't try to hide your messups ... and show how you fix them !! Very honorable!! I mess up on a regular basis. And I'm also a artist. I've found most times things don't turn out as I invisioned they turn out better. Because I let the piece do what it wants...lol I know that sounds silly but sometimes it seems they have a mind of they're own lol
Oh I don't think it is silly at all. I feel the same way. Some of my most favorite projects have been when I don't really know how it will turn out. I also was told many years ago by a very talented friend. " The difference between a amateur and a pro is, a pro knows how to fix his screw-ups". No I don't consider my self a pro, but it lets you know everyone screws up. In the mean time, I am having a lot of fun!
yeah , i get it , sometimes stuff starts building it's self
as soon i got my house, im gonna do a lot of furniture for my garage, i have all your videos saved, you are awesome
Thank you! I have a ball doing them. Thanks again for watching.
You are a real artist! Luv your steam punk furnished man-cave ! ! ❤❤❤
I am having a ball steampunking it! Thanks for watching.
I have to admit when you first started out on this one I thought to myself, “he’s freakin nuts! There’s no way this is gonna look any good!” But boy was I wrong, that turned really cool!! Nice job and thanks for sharing your visions. Oh and you gave me an idea for a rotary K-cup dispenser.
I have to admit. I thought this was turning into crap. But this has turned out be one of my best projects LOL. Thanks so much for watching.
Gene
Very nice! But now you really need a matching tray to carry the coffee mugs. Maybe with engraved copper sheets and this really cool burnt wood? Right now I'm 2km away from the Eiffel Tower (the real one) and I think it would be amazing to see this coffee machine next to this old lady. 😃
Oh, I like the idea of the tray. I think it would be amazing just being 2km away from the Eiffel Tower, coffee maker or not. Thanks so much for watching.
How Cool! I really want to try this to mine now.
I hope you will. I just kind of designed as I went along. I still have it and use it everyday. What is also cool is that over time the copper color gets an aged patina look. Thanks for watching.
You have a talent for this I’ve watched several of your films for an older guy your stuff is kinda cool.
Thank you! I’m having a lot of fun building stuff. Thanks again for watching.
I was thinking along the same line. For a younger guy, the stuff is really neat!
That is awesome. I really like how the pod holder came out with the straps and yes the handle is cool too. Great imagination!
Thanks so much. I was starting to get nervous on this one. LOL
Thanks so much for watching.
Gene! This is brilliant! I want to be inside your head. Your vision is incredible! Love this project!
Thanks Charmaine! Anyone can do this. It was fun. But honestly I wasn’t even sure how this would turn out.
Looks great, much better than the boring stock design. They should sell them like this!
You would think so! This was fun. Thanks for watching.
Great job Gene!! I love your imagination! Looks great 👍 I'm a professional auto painter .maybe if you'd have tried some cleaner before you tried to glue ? And a couple coats of clear go a long way in durability with metallic paint...
That’s a great suggestion. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi. I love your videos and your honesty about your tremors. keep up the good work. you are an inspiration to us all. greetings from Arendal in Norway.
Thank you so much. Your nice words inspire me to keep doing what I do. Thanks so much for watching.
Gene, I just found your channel. I'm an artist who makes steam punk guns from nerf guns. I absolutely love the refrigerator and coffee maker that you've done. It's inspiring me to alter larger things.
@@gsdlover257 I’m so glad you found the channel! I would love to see some of your steampunk creations.
WoW! I love your creativity! Amazing!
Thank you. I really enjoy coming up with different projects. Thanks again for watching.
Very cool Gene 👏👏 This kind of reminds me of something Brian @ Smugglers Room here in YT would do. You're mini fridge project is also cool.
Excellent outcome as always, Gene. You've got a really good eye for the steampunk vibe.
Cheers, Roy.
Thanks Roy! This was a really fun project. Thanks again for watching.
That is awesome
This project turned out better than I even thought it would. LOL. Thanks so much for watching.
I love your work. I found your channel today and subscribed. The coffee maker is wonderful.
Sandy, I’m so glad you found the channel. Thanks for subscribing.
Super job!! Love it
Thank you! This was one of those projects that I wasn’t really sure how it was going to turn out.
THATS COOL!!!
Thanks, this was a fun project.
Very Beautiful.👍
Thank you so much. This was a really fun project.
Great job Gene! You have a creative vision for these projects.
Thanks Deb, always nice to hear from you. This turned out better than I thought it was going. As always, thanks so much for watching.
Cheers from Russia. Well done!

Very nice
Thanks for watching.
Well done Gêne 🤩
Thank you Josee, Always nice to hear from you. Thanks again for watching.
Love the video.. and love the happy accidents 😁👍
Hi Dan, it makes the coffee even taste better LOL.
@@DIYGene lol
Nice...
Awesome
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
You can check Sign shops for scrap sheets of pvc board, even vinyl car wrap materials and pre mask, they’ll order and work with ya or cool industry stuff, I would have given it to ya free at my shop we had bunch of left over scrap, heck you might walk out with some work after they find out what you do every sign shop is in need of a creative builder hahaha
That’s a great suggestion. What’s funny is, I used to own a sign shop. LOL. Thanks so much for watching.
@@DIYGene fellow sign guy…. brother? Haha
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much! This was a really fun project. Thanks again for watching.
Love your work. Sadly my hubby won't let me steam punk the fridge.
Oh come on! I know it would look great. You could do it all shiny like the coffee maker. Keep trying. Thanks for watching.
Great work. Love your imagination, it’s inspiring.
Thank you so much. I’m so glad it inspires. Thanks again for watching.
5 minute epoxy is always the answer to permanent gluing of everything.
You are so correct. I wish I started with that. Thanks so much for watching.
@@DIYGene Love your projects. After watching, my wife wamts me to steam punk our coffee maker. 😁
That was a fun one. Mainly because I really wasn’t sure how it would turn out.
I love it! Well done, Gene! Scott
Hi Scott, Thanks so much for checking out the videos.
Yeah that turned out great!
Where can I buy one of your mugs? I would love the diy gene steam punk logo on the mug 😁👍 awesome job again. Looks fantastic
That’s not a bad idea!
@@DIYGene well let me know i would love one :)
Another awesome job Jene
This was fun! Thank you for watching!
Awesome! Iam new to your channel, and like your content! One thing I could see is, do u have essential tremors? Just asking bcoz i also suffer from the same and sometimes I feel sad but learning to avoid it... Haha:)
Thank you and yes I do have Essential Tremors. Some times they are worse than other times and it was originally just in one hand but now I seam to be having it in both. Are you taking any meds for yours?
This is awesome! Would it be possible to steampunk a stove?
It depends on if the stoves finish, is porcelain. If you can sand it to accept paint, then I think you could. Thanks so much for watching.
Very creative, well done. Hmmm I may do something similar like this in the future since I also do silly things, well we can call it art.🤟😊
Thanks so much. This was a really fun project. Your channel sounds interesting and I am going to check it out also. Thanks again for watching.
Adorei!
Thanks again for watching.
Never saw your stuff before. Actually laughing in a few places. Really hope your household scissors have the blunt, round points. Fun video. Good finish. Was this the first time you used PVC cement?
No but I totally should have gone with epoxy from the start. Thanks so much for watching.
Did I miss the Meat Thermometer installation?
Yup, that is a meat thermometer. LOL. Thanks so much for watching.
Looks great! I'm assuming hot coffee doesn't melt the glue? 🧐😇
Oh on, it adds flavor!
Funny, through the whole video I thought that it would need a wooden handle. Seems we agreed.
The wooden handle is what sets it off to me.lOL. Thanks so much for watching.
What is the glue you used on the pc pipe
I used Oaty brand pvc cement from Lowes. But you can get it in any plumbing department. I found if I was glueing pvc to other plastics I would use 5 minute epoxy. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Who's running the camera?
I just stet it up on a tripod. Thanks for watching
