To stretch paper, canvas, and similar sheet materials on a board or frame, start in the middle and stretch it outward as you glue or staple it. You will end up without wrinkles or bubbles. I learned this in oil painting class many years ago.
That's a very difficult thing to do dealing with a big sheet of sticky plastic though as you'd need to essentially peel the backer paper from the center out.
So cool! :) Great work mate, now I know I need a corkboard world map.
That is so super cool. I also love maps
The secret to Ikea is to enter through the exit. You bypass all the furniture and get right to the placemats. Just look confident and don't make eye contact.
Except in this IKEA they were closer to the entrance than the exit. Downside with entering through the exit is that you have to fight your way through people coming straight at you. It's like a gauntlet!
Haha yes that is true! Your videos are always very funny. Good job!
Thank you for making me discover the David Rumsey Map Collection, it is awesome :)
Love your humor.
Great idea and a great video!
There is an excellent map shop in central London, which is where I bought the Europe map for Tom Lipton (whatever happened to his viewer pins, I wonder), for those without very large ink jet printers.
you can also find a local print shop, prices vary though.
+Chris Stephens indeed, and I almost went the route of buying as well, but couldn't find a map that fit into the frame I already had.
What better reason do you need, go with what you've got.
Ha! Trivia of the day for you Chris, I'm the second pin in that map!
Where is your pin and I bet it wasn't a gold one? :>)
Really cool result!!
I love this video. Do you have any tips for attaching the map to the board without using the sticky back plastic? perhaps a glue that will not compromise the paper map?
I would also like to hear the answer to this question?
Cool idea I will have to add that to my ever growing to-do list.
Ohhhh! new channel to watch! LOVE
Thanks, My wife has seen this and now she wants one too!
Awesome! Haha!
Köttbullar is love, köttbullar is life!
The most exciting part since the meatballs.
This is cool and perfect for what I want thk u 🙏
I really enjoyed this video, thank you! Great idea too.
Awesome work. NowI want to make one 🖒
You were right. I spent about an hour browsing all the maps.
very nice!
its been soooooo long i love ur videos bro
Great video! Could you please tell me what is the specific name of the map that you've downloaded? There are millions of maps there and it's really hard to find the ones that you had
Hi, did you find it?
No I didn't :( could you tell me what is it?
Ikea is the source of all things good. (well, sort of).
+Greg's Garage to be honest, their food is better than their furniture.
agreed.
Love your videos! I need this map project!
Hey! Can you tell me the size of the map? It is a great piece of work!
Thanks for sharing. The resultant map looks wonderful. At the end of it all, with about 30% of your place mats going to waste, was it still cheaper than buying cork sheet?
You really need a touch-screen TV for your wall maps - routes and destinations easily inserted or deleted, maps swapped out and your holiday snaps easily tagged in.
+Jeff Harmed more like 10%, but yes, it was less than 1/4 the cost I could find the equivalent size cork for.
As for touch screen, seems like an awful waste of electricity.
Så jävla bra kanal, kan inte fatta att du inte har fler prenumeranter. Du och This Old Tony är lätt mina favoriter.
I see you've been to Houston. Good man.
I freakin love your videos.
Cheers from Poland :>
Nice Idea !! good video's also :)
Hi! Thanks for the video! Do you have any advice if you can't find any sticky back plastic that will cover the entire map with a single sheet? The size of my map is 102 x 138 cm
I have no idea they made them like this.
What map did you end up using?
Did you look into having the map laminated profesionaly, or would have just have been way more expensive?
+mickleman52 I thought about it, but I've never seen a laminate that would be soft and easy to push pins through, and I think that it would be more expensive than buying the plastic anyhow.
Can you please send the link to your world map? I looked for hours and couldn`t find it! thanks!!!
Fin film. Ett litet tips bara: istället för kork kan du använda nåt som heter kapaplatta som passar utmärkt för ditt ändamål. Väldigt mycket lättare att klistra på och om man inte vill hålla på själv så kan man lätt lämna in den för klistring på en firma. Blir bättre men är inte lika skoj förstås. Tjosan!
Jupp, använder kapaskivor (eller foamcore som det också heter) mycket i mitt arbete, både att bygga prototyper med, och som postit-boards. Tycker de är värdelösa när det kommer till att göra anslagstavlor av dock, själva skummet ger inget motstånd när man väl passerar själva pappbarriären. Gillar känslan av kork helt enkelt.
Fair enough. Borde ha förstått att du hade koll. Bara ett försök att ge ett tips. Keep up the good work!
Absolut, och jag uppskattar det! Det finns garanterat de som läser dessa kommentarer och undersöker andra vägar att göra det på. Så tack!
IKEA meatballs= good stuff
How much did this project end up costing you?
Did you visit Turkey :D If not coincidence :)
Any ideas for map pins that don't penetrate the map?
Magnets.
have u been in Romania? to see Draculas Castle! 😉
Or you could just buy a large cork pin Board and stick a map over it
You indeed could, but I couldn't find one nearly the price of the cork from IKEA. I tried to do it on a budget. If you're willing to throw money at it, instead of time, then of course that's a much easier way!
Would love to create this as well. Thanks for the vid :) But which map did you buy? I can find it. do you have a link to the map used?
I didn’t buy a map, I downloaded and printed it. There are many maps on the site listed, just pick the one you like.
@@SwitchAndLever I like the one you used. I can only find maps with less details. (Amount of cities) but thanks for your quick response.
@@JustSlowmotioNL I probably wouldn't be able to find the one I used any quicker than you would be able to. I spent probably a couple of days on the site just rummaging around, being fascinated by all the maps, until I found one that I truly liked. Also mine is altered from the original, as it was centered on the US and I wanted it more traditional, from dateline to dateline.
Can you please send the link to you world map? I can't found it ;(
Just out of curiosity what did the red and black pins represent on your map??
+JE 123 where I lived and where I've traveled.
Great project and video! I have a question about 2:37 though.
Is it necessary for the cursing to be quiet? :-P
+Maker on the Move yes. Very quiet. Like a giant whispering to a dandelion quiet.
How did you find the map you used in the tutorial? I spent forever on the David Rumsey site and could not find anything close to that.
+Rosie 47 haha! I guess I spent forever and then some. The interface is not intuitive in the slightest. I wish the results were sortable by date or something at least.
Great video, but why did you use map from like 30 years ago ? :D
+Denis Žemla quite a bit older than that, and the simple answer is because it looked pretty. Everything from the colors used to the typography is right up my alley.
Hej :)
Hvad er dit job i dagligdagen og hvordan har du adgang til alle de herlige maskiner ?

Why don't you make a third hand?
The proportions on that map are too unreal... Greenland bigger than Africa??
Look into different map projections if you want to understand why that is the case. Basically, you cannot unwrap a sphere into a rectangle without some level of distortion. I chose this map because it's beautiful, not because the projection is accurate.
Check this one www.posterdejardin.be/library/original/56258.jpg
I bought 4 pack thinking it was six. Now I’m having to spend all day cutting my 5$ map into 6 pieces (8 x ?) for an old window w/ 6 spaces - I’m terrible w/ math - ugh I hope my son loves it haha 😂
Any help or suggestions please
Hmmm, IKEA meatballs. I have to go to IKEA again.
Have you considered getting a Patreon account?
Hi Michael! Yes I have, but I have not figured out a good extra value to add to my patrons other than a warm fuzzy feeling they may have of supporting me. However, there are some transformations planned for Switch & Lever in the upcoming months, and they may very well contain a Patreon account as well. Cheers!
As bayrakları as
You pinned Ankara! But I would recommend you to go to Istanbul instead. Ankara is a bureaucratic city.
Merhaba Ceren! Haha, Ankara'da altı ay yaşadıim. I've traveled all over Turkey, and I'm married to a Turkish woman. No one likes Ankara, but there are areas around the universities, like ODTÜ, which are very nice. Türkiye çok özledim! Afedersin, benim Türkçe iyi değil. :D
Switch & Lever WOW! That was unexpected.. I'm really glad to hear this 😀 ODTÜ is a great place indeed. Every student's dream University.. Eşine selam söyle! 😀 Oh and I enjoy your videos a lot!
Claims to love maps -> Then buys map with Mercator projection
Something doesn't quite add up here...
+prorsoft didn't buy a map, I printed that one myself, and has much more with the style of the map to do than the projection. If I could find a Dymaxion projection in the same style that would've been my choice.
I'm from Portugal and cork is really cheap here
+riskinhos probably because you're also a producer of it.
google car in Poland :D

Did you place a pin on my homeland 🇭🇺 Hungary?
Mmmmm meatballs
hi man, love your vids and im really early!
can you try to make a hand spinner
+Flinz look at my Instagram, I have a few forays into that field already, however I'm not at this point in a position where I feel comfortable making a video about it. More experimentation is needed.
Switch & Lever okey
who eats meatballs with fries, that's herecy, mashed potatoes it should be.
I think you have your answer, it's me, I eat meatballs with fries! Fries are awesome!
Switch & Lever But not with meatballs. Damn you. You made me hungry again, where is the nearest ikea... Vantaa maybe.
