I never thought of it as an aquarium. Maybe a little goldfish in there or a beta. That would be cool. Thanks for the suggestion and for tuning in Jeff.
Hi Kenny! Remember a couple of weeks ago we were discussing cutting angled stock against the fence and I suggested perhaps using a spacer that would support the angle and then the pointed edge would be up on the fence. In any event, I was just watching the "Michael Alm" channel video title "Hexagon Patterned Plywood | How To" where he does that exact process starting at about 2:15. Regards, Bill
Thanks for the follow up Bill. I will have to check that out. I appreciate you tuning in and taking the time to chime in with your suggestions and comments.
Kenny, Glass Block Accent Lamp...nope not even going to try saying (or typing) it 10 times. Quite a project. The light strip worked out really well and in a dark room it looks great. Anxious to see how you add to it.
I'm just hoping that I can pull it off Paul. This is a show that got away from me and I haven't even filmed the update to the project yet. I have 3 days to pull a rabbit out of my hat. Here's hoping I can do it. LOL. Thanks for tuning in sir.
Hi neighbor, I'm in St. Lawrence County NY. I think your videos are great, love the scoll saws one even more. that's my retirement hobby. A long ways from being an ironworker lol. I think I have watched all of your videos. Do you ever design and make whirligigs? I have designed three and built one of them. Take care and stay safe. I 'll be watching!
Hello Michael. Thanks for contacting me. I have a whirligig planned for an upcoming show but I can't decide on a design. I'm torn between something simple (like a bird in flight or a prop plane) or something a little more complicated like an animated scene. Once the idea finally gets solidified in my head, I will start in on the design and the project. I hope you will tune in for that. There are over 400 videos on my channel and for you to watch them all is quite the feat. Thank you for tuning in this week and for your dedication to the show. It's very much appreciate sir.
@@acutabove_woodworkings As a retired ironworker (structural fitter), I designed a welder that when his arm goes down with mig in hand his shield will go down too. It looks good on paper lol. My biggest problem is the scale I want to make it. It has been a very long time since I was an art major in high school. 46 years fabricating steel is not like drawing...might have lost my touch lol.
Another interesting video . Liked the way that came out . Looking forward to seeing what you do with it next. I would imagine something like this would also work with wine bottles and such. Very interesting indeed.
I think it would work with any sort of glass that you could build a base for and light it from the bottom. Give it a try and let me know how it works out. Thanks for tuning in Wayne and taking the time to leave the kind words. It's appreciated.
Very nice build Kenny looks fab. I remember those glass blocks years ago when it was the trend to have the odd piece in a small wall in your house, or even a small wall made out of all the blocks like in the bathroom. Weird? anyway a great build. Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)
When I bought my house, there was a wall of these things going down the stairs. Very weird. The wall no longer exists. Thanks for tuning in Barry. Good to hear from you.
Hey Ken how do I open a pickle jar? Two weeks later NASA has reconfigured a mars lander lol. This was very cool project, the fact you can open the glass just makes it better. You and your family take care. Hows the jeep? Peace.
Opening a pickle jar. 1) Attempt to open jar in tradition way by twisting the lid counterclockwise in relation to the jar. 2) Realize that step one didn't work and run the lid under hot water to attempt to soften whatever is making it stick. 3) Attempt to open jar in tradition way by twisting the lid counterclockwise in relation to the jar. 4) Realize that step three didn't work and tap the lid all the way around with the handle of a knife. 5) Attempt to open jar in tradition way by twisting the lid counterclockwise in relation to the jar. 6) Realize that step 5 didn't work and wrap a cloth or towel around the lid to try to give some grip when opening. 7) Attempt to open jar in tradition way by twisting the lid counterclockwise in relation to the jar. 8) Realize that step 7 didn't work and that your hands are getting sore and red and that for a relatively young man, you are out of breath and getting your butt kicked by a pickle jar. Grab the jar and take out all your frustrations, applying all your strength to attempt to open jar in tradition way by twisting the lid counterclockwise in relation to the jar. 9) Realize that step 8 didn't work and that someone (who you have always regarded as weaker than you physically.....probably your wife) is laughing at you on the sidelines. Hand them the jar to open and accompany it with the comment...."If you think this is so funny, YOU open the darned pickles!" 10) Watch in horror as they twist off the lid with absolutely no problem whatsoever and hand you back the jar. 11) Salvage what little dignity you have left, by saying in your toughest voice..."I loosened it for you". Thanks for tuning in sir. I hope this helps. And for the record, the Jeep is fixed and back to normal. Thanks for asking. Stay safe man.
Hi Kenny! Two things, did you make the all thread clamps and, I was intrigued by the spline jig. Did it originally fit over a fence or is that just an outrigger to keep it standing up? Lamp looks good. When I was in HS, I designed a house in the shape of a pentagon with an interior patio using those glass blocks to cross between various areas of the house. The blocks were to be lighted and it was only about 30-40 years later that I discovered fiber optic cable so they could be lit up from a single source light and not have to have bulbs changed except from a central source. Oh well...
The hand screw clamps were purchased Bill but I do have a show listed to make my own very soon. I just have to get my butt in gear and actually film the project. The spline jig was made for my original table saw and yes, it rode over top of the existing rip fence. I just use it against the fence of my new table saw now so that I can use the jig when I need it. I really do need to update it and make a new one. That house you describe sounds awesome. It incredible how far technology in lighting has come over the years. Thanks for tuning in sir. Great to hear from you again this week.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Hi Kenny! I mentioned my issue with doing the round over on small parts and that I used double stick tape. First project it worked really great but only about 12 parts. Second project had more like 27 parts and all that double stick tape stuff with trying to get the back off and the expense was getting to me. So...I am trying out a new jig to hold them. I am making a clamping system that is only about 1/16" high using sawzall blades. It grabs the part very low so it doesn't interfere with the router bit and I can just insert the part, swivel the blade to kind of jam into the bottom of the part which locks it against a backer block and then clamp the other end of the blade in place. So far my early testing looks promising. I'll let you know how it turns out. Bill
I would have to look into what a laptop stand is, but I'm sure that I can come up with something. Thanks for tuning in Beto and for taking the time to chime in with your show suggestion. It's very much appreciated.
I do remember the old pop guns. I may have to look into that idea. Thanks for tuning in William and for the show suggestion. It's very much appreciated.
Well done! I feel you about the projects that start "this big", then turn into "THIS BIG".
They do have a habit of morphing don't they? LOL. Thanks for tuning in David and for the kind words.
It would look good as an aquarium too. Nice work, Kenny.!
And you can solder too!
I never thought of it as an aquarium. Maybe a little goldfish in there or a beta. That would be cool. Thanks for the suggestion and for tuning in Jeff.
I would hope so. An electrician that can't solder isn't much of an electrician. LOL.
Another another great video Kenny keep it up
Glad that you liked it Alfred. This one was a lot of fun to make. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Nice project Kenny, looking forward to next week show.
Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show Raymond. I appreciate your dedication to the program.

As usual an inspiring, interesting and well presented video. Thanks Kenny.
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in.
Love it. Gonna try this one.
