  • I turn a pile of old bottles into a new dishwasher safe handle for my ice cream scoop. There is something very satisfying about putting trash back to use.

    It seems like everyone in the comments knows what tools and machines you are using. I can't be the only who doesn't know but watches these because they're interesting. I wish I knew more about this stuff because it looks like a fun hobby but I'm sure it's more than a hobby for you.

    That scoop is defective. It served a bowl of ice cream that was clearly too small. Back to the drawing board.

    The plastic would melt much better in small pieces, with much less browning... Perhaps you should add a sturdy shredder to your workshop, such as the kind made to accommodate credit cards. Wash them and toss them in the shredder as they are used up, and you will always have a ready supply of plastic shavings to play with.

    Hello Peter, I really like your videos. You make this kind of work/art seem accessible. I'd totally attend classes in your workshop. I know you are much younger but the first time I watched one of your videos was cus you reminded me of my dad. He was a POW, and a navy seal in Vietnam. He didn't have a lot of education and unfortunately we lived well below the poverty level. I got my artistic skills from him. He wanted a lathe but no way we could buy one. We took trips to the dump and he found an old handheld electric drill. He took it home, mounted it and turned it into a lathe. I still have a bowl he made for me. Couldn't get big pieces of wood to turn so he'd use what precious little glue he had and bond together stacks of throw away pieces. Taught himself. I'm sure he would have loved to try the stuff you do, just didn't realize he could use the materials you do. He's been dead seven years now and I miss him so, so much. I would loved to have watched your vids with him. Thank you.

    I would say the only thing you can do to make any of these plastic melting projects is to cut up the plastic into smaller dime sized pieces. It may be more time consuming but I think you'll like the end result better. Not to mention less of a chance of air getting trapped within.

    I think the satisfaction we get in a little (ha!) project like this is may things together. We feel useful, we feel a certain independence and autonomy, we feel clever and creative, and we don't have to go the the store again and buy another questionable item that might go bad in 6 months. It's a good lineup of complimentary feelings and thoughts. And we are not arguing with the wife or kids while we are doing it!

    I've done some woodworking back in my high school in the past. It's always my dream to do woodworking and occasionally I would thought about how plastic working. My teacher told me that what I'm thinking does not exist because plastic working is not realistic if you are to do it from recycled plastics. Didn't know that after 15 years, it's becoming more and more common to be done. Even you don't need a huge gigantic Industrial machines to bake them into malleable results. It's nice that you found a way to recycle plastics in a creative way without having to dumb it out and have it chuck out into the sea of trash plastics.

      We then returned to find two older ladies playing in the snow saying " I cannot believe it snowed in Tillamook!!"

  • @AureliusR
    @AureliusR Год назад

    Just for future reference, there *is* glue that can bond HDPE. I would try 3M ScotchWeld DP8005. It's a very weird tube, unlike most adhesives that are 1:1, this one is 10:1 so it has one really skinny tube and one fat one that dispense at the same time. It can also bond other low-surface energy plastics like PET. It's definitely not cheap (usually around $60-80 a tube depending on where you can get it from) but it's something you don't use often and it seems to have a very long shelf life because it's a 2-part adhesive. Also, for most plastic adhesive needs, I get DevCon plastic welder. There are a few products out there that claim to be "plastic welders" but make sure you get the cream-coloured stuff, it uses a different chemical composition and it bonds plastics *exceptionally* well. It can bond plastics to other materials too, like wood, metal, rough surfaces, smooth surfaces, it's awesome stuff.

  • @danielmcdonald6148
    @danielmcdonald6148 8 лет назад +1

    Peter! You need some cheap welding gloves! a little insulation goes along way. This reminded me of the direct glass casting I did. You are often handing the glass with only kevlar gloves which protect you initially but can build up heat to that feeling where your hands are "cooking" :) We use welding gloves for handing torches/molds etc and would be a big step up for you here beyond mechanics gloves.
