This is one of the best "build it yourself" videos I have seen...So well thought out, planned and executed.....The instructions are crystal clear...and everything has been thought out to make the project complete without guessing or asking further questions...Excellent.....JRZ
Excellent build! I can see this also being useful for cutting other plastics as well. I'd also include an "ON" light for indication and safety reasons. Great work Grant!
I finished two slivers, one for me and one for my sisters for Christmas. Sadly I didn't pay enough attention and bought a 500 mA transformer instead of 3 amp. I had to order a new one, but after I installed it it worked exactly as yours does. Great project, Grant!!

@ITZ TRAMDOMZ when I was 10 my parents let me cook my own quesadillas its actualy pretty easy, also I might buy the stuff to do the mini metal foundry.
The very first TKOR video I watched. Never got around to building the cutter that I originally was researching, and ended up on a couple of hours TKOR marathon.
To those who also build this: when assembling the wood base make sure you look at the way he assembles it and note that he switched up the 18" and 15" 2x4 with how to screw them in.
I miss you my friend. I"m finally getting around to building this. I owe you for so much fun and education. Thanks to your wife, and friend for keeping this alive.
Oh man, this guy has passed away.. I was so grateful as this is the only hot wire cutter video that actually made sense to me. He sounds like such a young guy in this video :(
*Hey guys, let's hang out! I'm going to be here in the comments for the next hour chatting with you, and answering as many of your questions as possible. So .. what's up?*
Hey guys, it's been awesome spending the last 2 hours with you. I hope I answered most all of your questions and comments. If not, there's a good chance your questions was asked by someone else, so look through the comments and see if your answer is there. I have to go back to work on the next project, so I'll see you soon with some cool new content. By the way, Propane torch is next :)
If you can't manage to get the knot tied in the wire, inside the pipe. i suggest using Hot glue, thats what i done. Vote this up so future builders can see this.
i’m 16 and remember seeing this with countless other of grants videos, although you might be gone you’ll forever be in my heart and thank you for making my childhood
When he says to "look out for" it means he hasn't done it yet. If he has he'll say to look for it in a previous video and sometimes leave a link in the description.
He most likely has the right to submit this as a design patent (wire foam cutters on their own are ancient technology), but what garners massive amounts of respect is telling the world "Hey! I made this cool thing! Here's how I did it, so you can do it too if you like!", rather than going after people for infringement of Intellectual Property. Just stumbled across this channel, and instantly, I have nothing but love for these videos.
Actually, the former owner of my floral shop built one on the same principal about 40 years ago and we used it a lot. You can buy them from craft places now, but I would much rather build my own for how inexpensive it is.
Wow. Thanks. Perfect! The cutter is exactly what I was looking for. I plan to ask my husband to follow your great instructions and advice. He loves building items from PVC pipe so it should go over well. Thanks for all the work you put into the design and video.
+Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" Next vid you do could you please make a parts list, it would make things a whle lot easier, thanks for making the content though!
+Cannamore I'm compiling this video into blueprints and schematics for myself, if you want I can send you a copy when I'm done. Also, a guitar string will probably only work with stainless steel string.
+Edward Elric Man to be honest I don't have anything. I've been working so hard on getting videos ready I haven't put anything together. If I did though, what would you want me to do to celebrate?
+Kat McCollough Oh, that'd be great. Then we wouldn't have to make it. Remember the fire piston ? He said it's under $1.00 to make, and then proceeded to use equipment that's well over a few thousand dollars.
I like the AC power supply approach. All of the other videos on this subject use DC supplies. Since you used AC you can use a common dimmer switch to regulate power. Very cool!
I just said this in another comment, but since I think it's a good idea I'll also say it separately: How about a homemade telescope for astronomy? Something below $100 (below $50 is even better) that anyone could build to view some of the brighter deep sky objects, such as the Andromeda Galaxy and the Orion Nebula for instance, and also be able to see the outer planets clearly? I'd love to have that project to do...
+Pota MNL Productions Alright then, disregard the price restriction. Just added the constraint to make it more of a challenge for Grant and make the project more accessible for us common folk. That, and at $100 you can get a pretty good entry level telescope on Amazon. I was wishing for a scope project in the same ballpark range but with much better imaging. Just a challenge.
It's not that epensive, the most expensive things in the project are the lantern battery (around $10) and the transformer (10-$20) so it costs around 30-$40 plus the equipment needed are pretty everyday: power drill, saw, wire stripper; if you don't do all the extra stuff and cosmetic bits he does (rounding, spray painting, power fuse, ect)
5:42. I think you made a typo when editing the video. When you drill together the 2x4s, it says one of the pieces should have the 5" piece on the side, a 15" in the middle, and the 18" on the other side. I'm pretty sure the 18 should be in the middle and the 15 should be on the side.
Do you really need to add the complicated wiring in that ''box'' or can you just make the box and use alligator clips to connect the saw to the battery?

Outstanding instructions on how to build. I would suggest viewing the video a few times prior to attempting. Only thing, I had to find out 6v from 12 v by trial and error, but got it after one try.
+pikachu1324 It was from Radio Shack and was a 12.6V 3A Power Transformer 273-1511B. It is center tapped for 6.3-0-6.3, but doing a quick search on Google .. they seem kind of hard to find right now for some reason, but you can get them around $15 on eBay. Not sure if Radio Shack carries them anymore. If not, I would just try experimenting with junk transformers salvaged from larger electronics.
You can't say Americans think the metric system is stupid, because the truth is, we have to learn it because it's what our society and government. chooses to use. I'd rather spend my time learning the Metric system than measurements like these.
+MrCerealShark i just bought all materials except for the tools ( i bought a set of drill bits but not a drill) and after everything it came out to near $70 all bought at home depot except for the pvc, fuse holder, wire and transformer.
the load limit is 11.46 lbs. i used the same brand as in this video. The slicer works amazing! i use it to cut EVA foam for cosplay and oooohhh my god. its been a huge time saver haha
Made this earlier today. Used an old powersuppy that had a 12V AC output. Did not add a dimmer or 3 way switch. Tested and works like a charm. Next step is to add a switch and fuse.
Me: alright I’ll make this project Me when I sit down with the chord,wood and pvc (Realizing that I don’t have a drill) Welp guess I gotta go watch more G.T without making anything
I just like revisiting this video everytime I'm reminded of it. It's one of my favorites and really shows his level of genius and enthusiasm towards his work. He will be missed. Rest In Peace Grant Thompson, The King Of Random.
I link your channel and this video in a lot of the crafting videos I watch. I do warn people that if they start watching your channel they may find themselves there for hours as you have many very intersting and cool vids.

I finished two slivers, one for me and one for my sisters for Christmas. Sadly I didn't pay enough attention and bought a 500 mA transformer instead of 3 amp. I had to order a new one, but after I installed it it worked exactly as yours does. Great project, Grant!!
How to tie the knot @ 2:20
-Have the wire already be stripped, separated, and looped at the end.
-Drill the hole into the PVC pipe.
-Now, *before* you add the elbows to either end of the PVC, push both ends of the wire through either end of that tube.
-With both ends of the wire in hand, tie a simple knot (it really doesn't matter what type).
-Now, take one end of the wire with a loop, and push it back through the other side of the tube, so that you have a wire with a loop at the end of it on either side of the first PVC Tube
-Pull the original wire (the one that first enters the tube at the back) so that the knot is at the hole, demonstrated at 2:32.
-Snake each looped wire through the elbow brackets, and proceed with the rest of this tutorial.
PS: Awesome concepts, tutorials, and vids man. Keep up the work!
The first ever video of Grant's I ever watched. Thank you so much for the memorable childhood. We'll never forget the King of Random.
3 years later, my parents finally let me build one of these along with the mini metal foundry
How’d it go
Lucky!
@ITZ TRAMDOMZ when I was 10 my parents let me cook my own quesadillas its actualy pretty easy, also I might buy the stuff to do the mini metal foundry.
@ITZ TRAMDOMZ I am confused this video was made like 3 years ago
ITZ TRAMDOMZ lmao that’s 7 yrs ago it’s three years ago
The very first TKOR video I watched. Never got around to building the cutter that I originally was researching, and ended up on a couple of hours TKOR marathon.
I wish for more videos like this. Stuff like this is what brought me to TKOR so many years ago.
To those who also build this: when assembling the wood base make sure you look at the way he assembles it and note that he switched up the 18" and 15" 2x4 with how to screw them in.
Sean Mayfield Thanks brother, I’m assembling mine now and am watching and like WTF ? Glad I’m not crazy !🤣
Ditto!
I miss you my friend. I"m finally getting around to building this. I owe you for so much fun and education. Thanks to your wife, and friend for keeping this alive.
Oh man, this guy has passed away.. I was so grateful as this is the only hot wire cutter video that actually made sense to me. He sounds like such a young guy in this video :(

I wonder how many "other project videos" Grant has said to look for and has never done.
Heyy TG Coffeeplus i found u again!
ZenoZX sorry, but who are you? :/
When he says to "look out for" it means he hasn't done it yet. If he has he'll say to look for it in a previous video and sometimes leave a link in the description.

He already did the router table video...
Rest In Peace my favorite you tuber
One of the best foam slicer video on youtube... Great Work. Thanks
This guy deserves to have the patent for this thing.
That would defeat the purpose of uploading these to RUclips, if no one was allowed to make anything he posts he wouldn't be getting the views he is.
He most likely has the right to submit this as a design patent (wire foam cutters on their own are ancient technology), but what garners massive amounts of respect is telling the world "Hey! I made this cool thing! Here's how I did it, so you can do it too if you like!", rather than going after people for infringement of Intellectual Property.

Actually, the former owner of my floral shop built one on the same principal about 40 years ago and we used it a lot. You can buy them from craft places now, but I would much rather build my own for how inexpensive it is.
All the projects he does are based on technology that already exists. He mainly just shows us how to do it on a budget
Except for the fact that he didn't invent it, and also patents stifle innovation.
grant... you are a very smart man, i would not be able to do ANY of this by myself let alone buy ANY of this miscellaneous items
Thanks for putting "xenogenisis" as music
lol
He used Never Be Alone in another video
Yeah I bought this song so I could use it in my future vids.

The one thing I *definitely* would have done differently is include a power LED somewhere. Other than that, great job!
Can you tell the purpose of the LED?
@@ananyranjan8750 so u can use it in the dark
I think it’s to tell if it’s switched on or not, since it does not really change in colour until you switch it on at max power

I wish they did the newer vids like this who agrees with me
They won’t, it’s not as profitable as melting crayons or tik tok hacks
5:42. I think you made a typo when editing the video. When you drill together the 2x4s, it says one of the pieces should have the 5" piece on the side, a 15" in the middle, and the 18" on the other side. I'm pretty sure the 18 should be in the middle and the 15 should be on the side.

Not sure if Radio Shack carries them anymore. If not, I would just try experimenting with junk transformers salvaged from larger electronics.
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" Okay thanks I found it on eBay.
You can also get a door bell transform from the hardware store but it might only be 6v so it will take longer to cut
+pikachu1324 Can you share the link?
Rocco N April A quick search on eBay for "273-1511B" will produce many results, under $20. Just don't get those $100+ ones.
I like the foam cutter. Probably more useful for me than the metal foundry, but both are very clever and well-thought out. Great work!
5/32 inches... And americans think the metric is stupid
I think the imperial system is stupid, it's just what we're taught
We just like powers of 2, not 10
Brendan Biernacki and twelve and three
You can't say Americans think the metric system is stupid, because the truth is, we have to learn it because it's what our society and government. chooses to use. I'd rather spend my time learning the Metric system than measurements like these.
+Dominic Yeap-Holliday I would really love for us to convert to the metric system but not much I can do about that
what did you study in school?

+jonny764 true
Hahahahaah du är fett korkad hahah, du hade inte blivit så aggressiv om det inte vart sant, så du är mobbad o din morsa har cancer rekt
Really thinkimg anout doing it, anyone know a basic price range for the whole thing?
I spent about 25-30$ on mine but its way worth it if you plan to make a lot of stuff
+krig20 im already thinking of all the parts a already have, just missing that dimmer.
+MrCerealShark i just bought all materials except for the tools ( i bought a set of drill bits but not a drill) and after everything it came out to near $70 all bought at home depot except for the pvc, fuse holder, wire and transformer.
+Vai Peterson (VaiDaPie45) What strength spring did you use?
the load limit is 11.46 lbs. i used the same brand as in this video. The slicer works amazing! i use it to cut EVA foam for cosplay and oooohhh my god. its been a huge time
saver haha
Made this earlier today. Used an old powersuppy that had a 12V AC output. Did not add a dimmer or 3 way switch. Tested and works like a charm. Next step is to add a switch and fuse.
Me: alright I’ll make this project
Me when I sit down with the chord,wood and pvc
(Realizing that I don’t have a drill)
Welp guess I gotta go watch more G.T without making anything
who else is watching during quarantine online clases?
I just like revisiting this video everytime I'm reminded of it. It's one of my favorites and really shows his level of genius and enthusiasm towards his work. He will be missed. Rest In Peace Grant Thompson, The King Of Random.
Out of all of the Possible fighter jets to pick from, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO WITH THE SU-27
Cos Russian bias.
MASSAD SPETSNAZOVICH SEALOV that picture though
Jarmsie U SG?
iHanxD Gaming What?

I just made this styro slicer and it's awesome. Great for cutting foam for a Pelican or Plano case.
this would be great for making flite tests rc planes
Was thinking the same thing. I wonder if they have something like this for their projects.
They use a paper backed plastic that does not work with this technology.
It does
+Drew Stevenson they don't use paper or plastic they take the paper off and it's not plastic it's foam
+Wasteland Survivor the Adams board they used originally for flite test was double backed paper for tensile strength skinning.
R.I.P You will be remembered🤙🤙🤙🤙
Slice a pizza using it
best idea ever man
+Abdulilah Al-Zanbagi Cut cold pizza so it heats up at the same time
Cut that pizza into tiny squares so you can make a pizza covered pizza!!!!
+TheOfficialHauntex This chain of comments deserves an award.
I link your channel and this video in a lot of the crafting videos I watch. I do warn people that if they start watching your channel they may find themselves there for hours as you have many very intersting and cool vids.
Well the price of that 2x4 didn't age well...
5 years later and I still don't know how to tie the knot on the inside
