The way you cleaup the wooden piece I thought you're gonna fit in it. 😄
Me to
So did I. Halfway through I was saying:
"Why? So now you have a body panel where a window use to be? And now there is no filler on the backside. Is this some removable thing for air flow?"
A few seconds later
"Ooooh I see now."
Lol
bewakoofi h. phle use bnao fir ise😂😂
I really thought at first that you were making the wood to look like a window when you were painting it ..This is so awesome❤
Yes, why did you do the body work on the wood panel.
Hell yes!!!! Thank you for the idea. I've been trying to find a rear window for my 67 Galaxie Fastback for over a year. Everyone wants $1200+ $599 to ship. I'm going to try it
You have to lexagon and not plastic.
Такое стекло помутнеет скоро.
You will need a big oven......
Plexic si folie uv
Удачи🐞🍀
That's some impressive craftsmanship there.
It’s just a mold. If it isn’t available online you gotta make it
Keeps the draught out lol
That music wasn't annoying at all. Nice window
WAAAA WAAAAAA 👶🏻
At least it wasn't over top of talking. And hell it's a gang star beat chill and enjoy it my g
I enjoyed it. Saw your comment looking for the name. 🤷

That is a highly skilled man who knows what he's doing. Much respect
😂😂😂😂 зачем такое ведро?
Obviously a bachelor. No wife would let you bake PexiGlass in her oven.
except that window is going to leak when it rains...
Respect? Do you mean much admiration? Respect is not just any kind of admiration.
Sweet!!!
The neat thing about this is that you can make many windows of this design without redoing all that prep work.
And SELL THEM !!! ❤
@@Hugh_Manitee I saw Inside's comment, and immediately thought "That sounds like a business idea"
It's called making a template bro
The thing is, nobody would be buying them besides himself 😅
@@USATukker there are so many options. America needs to get back to building shtt lol
im getting into 3D printing because holy shtt you can 3D print something, and then sand cast it..and the details are in 8k resolution lol you can build one off parts...
OK Lexan, good utill you clean it.
What do you think they make aircraft windows and windshields out of? ANd yes they clean them
1/2 White vinegar + 1/2 water
Dry with newspaper.
Great job but warmed in my heart by the brotherhood of workshop hifi. Couldn't help but notice the speakers at each end of the work bench making the island bench the focal point. I bet they are often played loud and proud.
I salute you Sir.
Immediate thumbs up. Didn't care if it's right, wrong, or in between. That is cool stuff.
Есть намного проще способ так мделать!😂😂😂

Love it!
@@user-be1lm9xd1qwhat is the easier way?
@@user-be1lm9xd1q Well you can't say that and not tell us the much easier way 😂😂😂
Best background music ever - absolutely not annoying at all.
Agree bloody noise
So unobtrusive. I'll play this tonight to fall asleep to.
Ainda bem que eu tenho uma tecla no Celular que o deixa mudo por causa desses incovenientes👍👍👍👍👍😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
You poor thing. Do you think you'll make it to tomorrow?
Totally ripped off Herbie Hancock Rock It
Awesome thanks for this amazing tip. Love your attention to detail!
I never would have thought of that. You're a smart guy!
Its called Thermoforming for anyone curious, basic definition is using heat to mold/shape an object
Yes, drape forming more precisely.
No shit Sherlock
@@scififan698 keyboard warrior
@@scififan698 who hurt you ?
Free tip: put a soft string in the rubber, place the lexan on top and pull out the string over the lexan, the rubber will set over the lexan and doing so you don't have to scratch the surface with a spanner or so.
Pro Tip.
That's how windscreen fitters used to do it in the days before glued screens. I replaced a screen in a Fiat 127 using this method (in 1984!) and also used washing up liquid aka dish soap to help get the rubber over the glass.
198o benz style
@@1man1guitarletsgo I forgot about the dishsoap, thanks for that! It's been a while...
That window will leak like a faucet sooner then later... But he did a good job it looks great BUT
Jaw dropping WORKSHOP!
Wow, that's amazing craftsmanship!!!
It would definitely be worth putting a clear film over the top of it, so that you can clean it without it getting all scratched up.
У него есть теперь шаблон. Всегда сможет сделать новое.
That is Crazy and impressive, W😮W !!!
Hands down that is an excellent idea making a forming template so you can keep replacing windows if need be. In fact you should now sell them on the market to other people who need windows
Ok, I'm genuinely impressed!
Love the diy geniusness, crazy the difference in price to get the same job done. Love it
WOW. I need 12 windows for my 1968 airstream. All curved.
Thankfully, you now know how to make them! Awesome!
That sounds financially painful 😢😅
Slight curve to the top 1/3. Bottom portion is flat. I've seen glass that is consistently curved (not correct) they won't seal. But this I can do. Now I just need an oven big enough
Anybody got a 40" oven. Just a toaster oven in my airstream. Damn
@@joethomas6457 - That's "Project #1" ... Finding that bigger Oven, or "Making" one, for those many Windows!
Magnificent! Clever, smart, amazing! Enjoy your brilliance. Would love to see your finished fj40.
Great craftsmanship AND music!!
I bet that was a hell of a lot cheaper, and definitely more satisfying knowing you did that on your own. Good idea for those who do things like that.
This is a perfect example of why we love to rebuild things what could be ore satisfying great job thinking outside the box for a solution
Great craftsmanship, window came out like the original
True craftsmanship. There aren’t many around. Very refreshing to see someone with such talent.
Best you tube short I've watched yet
You started the company right!
yes he has a bakery now
As a fellow DIYer. Thanks for such an amazing video. Im now encouraged to tacklè projects that have needed curved window inserts.
Nice! Stayed for the DJ..
facts
Got damn son!! That is the finest ingenuity I have seen since clicky torque wrenches! Bravo sir! Thank you for posting!!!
Excellent 👍👍
I can smell his kitchen. Top notch craftsmanship now go throw out your stove
What a fantastic job he made of this! So very well done!
Nice work and bravo for the beats!
Nice, lot of hard work! But honestly, my favorite part of the video was your dog watching and hanging out at the end
Not the best material to use however, I give you an “A” for effort. Quick tip, wrap it with a UV clear vinyl to help it last a bit longer against fading from the sun and it helps with the eventual cracking. But it’s a solid thumbs up, just try to find better, safer material to use. Stay safe all:).
What are your top 5 materials for this application?
@@mattmatthews5414top 5 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glass, perspex, clear vinyl, cling wrap or if you're stuck then gaffer tape
He's a genius what you complaining about lol
Exactly and I would even add, in terms of safety polycarbonate does not offer the same resistance as glass which is called laminated or tempered glass offering much more safety.
Why are you a professional to give grade A to him?
The DJ is killing it! Nice work, by the way!!
I worked with Lexan for outdoor signs. Within a year it will NOT be so transparent. Great idea & probably MUCH cheaper. Well done!!
手間が掛かる程､❤美しい😊👍
That’s awesome man! What a beautiful truck and great idea for that window. 😊
Dang! Brilliant!
Nice job, I don't particularly like the upper right hand corner but it worked great
Excellent, greetings from Germany
unfortunately illegal in germany.
Keep in mind that PC is prone to cracking. Keep your mold in case you need to make another in 6 months.
Just cleaning it with a sponge produces nasty shallow scratches
headlight covers are made from PC, had mine for 24yrs, not a scratch
Lexan is nearly indestructible. Dont know wat you have experience with but that stuff is tough as nails.
@@4thdimensiontravels855 It has very, very high impact resistance, but it scratches really easily.
I had to put up sneeze shields at the counter of my practice during the pandemic. I used 1/8” thick Lexan panes. Every day the techs would clean them with a paper towel and some water and soap. After a month the Lexan had gone all misty with the tiny scratches.
This car window is going to scratch during normal washing, hand or machine. Also, PC is not UV stable. Lexan uses a thin layer of UV protection which deteriorates wildly when it’s deformed, causing the stuff to take on a yellowish milky tint.
@@peterdefrankrijkerI did similar work extensively when the pandemic hit. It's far from indestructible as stated by another comment, in fact I used special drill bits just so I wouldn't chip or shatter it when drilling holes. I really don't like the material and don't think it's that great at all, it serves a purpose but the scratching and yellowing is terrible.
At first I thought It was a bus but now I see it's a fj40
Phenomenal job ma' man!
You made your own shaped glass or of lexan
Fukkin sweet !!!
Hell ya craftsman brother 💪
Lexan does not crack when you cut it.
Great as a temporary solution but finding the right glass should be the ultimate goal on this case.
Why? It's a corner window
@@navyav8r653 I don't understand. What does the position or the placement of the piece have to do with it?
The original glass is always preferable. Even re-manufactured new glass is preferable to polycarbonate.
Great as a temp solution. Seems obvious to me.
@@BigRalphSmith. Well I can see replacing it if the law requires it to be safety glass, like on the windshield. But since it's a corner window and doesn't need to be a safety glass in the US, It looks perfect and gets the job Done.
Polycarbonate looks terrible after a while. Glass is king.
Lexan is pretty darn long lasting. it not just cheap run of the mill poly.
I cannot tell who is most impressive, the craftsman or the DJ scratching the hell outta that beat. Pretty close. Both are awesome.
Making a window buck to form acrylic is a pretty cool talent to have not many kids these days have the skills to do that so well props to you sir
Thanks, man this is awesome.
Top Job
I think it would have looked sick to leave the wooden slats there, just stained and clear coated!
Yeah, who needs rear visibility!
@@GtsAntoni1😆 🤣 😂
Я думаю нужно досматривать до конца потом комментировать!
@@GtsAntoni1box trucks
Surprisingly that window is pretty important for visibility. It distorts your view but not being there would be worse.
Legend says, if you scratch enough records, the next day you'll wake up with new windows installed in your car.
Amazing work. We need more people like you!
That looked pretty interesting, but the sound effects killed me in 20 seconds
Good jobs 😊
Scratches are fresh and on point.
Coolest how to video of the year!!! You just gave me the how to for many things I had in mind, thank you!!!
Nice job!
To all those people saying it will be scratched....are you sure? Car headlights dont get many scratches. If they do scratch and discolour its not hard to polish out
@@user-rr7zb9kr1gа не надо его разбивать!
It's much stronger than glass
@@sashaya4849may not pass MOT because of it not being safety glass though, it's not just about you and your car on the road there's other factors like if someone was hit by it and got impaled , hence why car Windows shatter into tiny pieces
@@davebryan1890 ну посторайся не разбивать, в общем...
Even wiping dust on it will scratch it.
Don't find very much of this kind of craftsmanship anymore. Outstanding.
This is what YT shorts are made for. Cool af 👌🏾💯
What in the R2D2 is this music
I think gangstar with dj premier - ruclips.net/video/GSszWXkDHa8/видео.html
DJ premier???
Yes mate!! Gang Starr 👊🏼
It's nice but lexan gets cloudy with sun
Is there any products to treat it, so it stays clear longer?
@@outofthewoodsproductionsI would use the same stuff they use on headlight lenses
@@outofthewoodsproductions 2k clear coat should last 10 years so long as you dont park it in the sun the whole time
Я таки думал окно будет деревянным😂
я тоже так думал, ну или ума или куска жести он не нашёл ,странные они.Нельзя ж было нагретое орг стекло положить на шаблонный лист и обрезать всё лишнее.
Your kitchen is awesome!
Wow ! …😮❤😮
the music isnt annoying or distracting at ALL!!! well done!!!
The skill and patience is top notch
Excellent 👌 and I like the music too. Good scratchers
That's a great job , super 😎
У дядьки в начале 90-х была проблема купить стекло водительской двери на 38-й москвич. Одна проблема: оргстекло быстро затирается. В сарае до сих пор висит от москвича.
сейчас как бы не проблема , с плекса вырезал и по верху защитную пленку, при больших повреждениях легко меняется. И не желтеет от ультрафиолета😂
@@user-cn6vv9xr4n Вместо плекса лучше взять поликарбонат, как раз используется в видео. Плекс от перепадов температур и УФ как раз таки сильно теряет во внешке и свойствах.
Монолит так не ломается при резке , это именно оргстекло ( или в простонародье Плекс ) вообще Plexiglass ( Плекс ) это производитель данного материала
@@evgenyikusurgashev8662ахах, а я то думал что это за спец стекло у пендлсов, плексиглас с виду похожее на оргстекло
Gawd.!! 😳😳
See fellas, nothin to it, only takes 30-40 seconds 😅
Always make more than one to sell and recoup your investment.
He made the form, now he should start selling them.
Super. Danke für der tollen Trick. 😊
Nice process, and great result. Like it.
Love the $3million kitchen as the work shop.
Bumpin some Gang Starr. Guru and D.J. Premier. Love it.
Was gonna say how the hell you affording primo beats. Got me watching. Rip Guru
Hello. Just an idea. Attach the elastic around the polycarbonate. Insert nylon rope into the tire. Attach it to the frame. Pull the inner rope slowly from both sides. You will see that the tire edges will fit on their own. You do not need to use a screwdriver. This is how you install tempered glass.
I needed this for my boat. I did not do the wood part. I just clamped lexan on one side, and with an airgun heat up the lexan and bend it slowly into position, cut and install.
Such amazing skills, I’m absolutely loving it!!
This man's kitchen oven is in good use, very crafty
Oh Byron, that looks good but, we need one for the other side too. 🤔 😂😂
Wife come home: "what ya baking for supper?" Peeks in oven: "window again!?"
Bwahaha 😮😅😂
Excellent! I’m taking a break from chopping up the stuff now.
I’m currently making new windows for my boats upper deck and this is a real help in finishing it off👍🏾
Nice job, That looks so good!! At first I thought you were going to just Bondo over the 2x4s and call it good!!!😂😂 I'm so happy you didn't! And it turned out amazing.
Phenomenal job, beautiful house and awesome shop too
I'm impressed with your ingenuity.
That ain't no window... that's a work of art..
Ich dachte zunächst, was will er denn mit einem Holzfenster?😂
Tolle Arbeit. Es ist immer wieder beeindruckend welche handwerklichen Fähigkeiten manche Menschen haben👍👍👍
Cool idea and very good result 😅
Absolute artistry. Well done.
Very impressive. Worth your time doing it this way especially with the way prices are for these wondows.
You did an amazing job!!🎉🎉🎉
I love it when I learn! Excellent content! 🍻
When i saw the poly carbonate fit in there i literally was like "no shot" awesome work
fantastic craftsmanship work....bravo....
That track is insane. Qbert would be proud.
