    This is the purpose of RUclips. To share ideas like this. It is even pleasure to watch and should it should be elementary project at High schools with focus on mechanical engineering so every school can recycle and create own stuff. This is more valuable than any music video on RUclips. Google should give you some special honnor.

You say all that you need for assembly is basic machine tools but most people including me (city dweller) don't have them or space for them. Great idea, stay awesome. I've been a subscriber since the early days and you always deliver amazing earth shattering content.

      +davehakkens Dave you have done great work but I need you to help us stupid Americans find our parts. Home Depot, Lowes, and Sears are the most common places to find these parts possibly. We all would still have to hunt down a machine shop. Which anymore is rare and expensive. Your idea is amazing but I have no welding skill nor is that just a cheap thing to up and start. Your looking at well over a $1,000 for a noob like me to even think about this.

    I did an experiment last night with HDPE. By cooling it down fast, "quench" like steel, I made it twice harder to cut and wear off. Which could be a good thing to mention, if you want your product to last longer bring it close to melting point then cooldown fast in water.

    Im making a project about how can we use plastic as a material in sculptures and art tasks, and how can we make the methods accessible to any art class.
    If you have any file about how to assemble, and more information about what type of plastic to use and what are the possibilities with soda bottles for exemple!!
    thanks for you attencion.. you are awesome!!! I love what you learn and the way that you think that it has to be

      @@surronzak8154 the first people to make a home of wood, brick, concrete, metal, etc all probably got this criticism.
      plastic is insanely strong in brick form. it's possible to make it fire resistant/retardant, and UV resistant. paint would make it close to UV immune, as well.
      you can mix in sand or rock and make a lighter alternative to concrete (not suitable for roads however). the biggest issues with plastic recycking for home building is picking the right one. you have to make sure it won't melt or soften in direct sunlight in absolute worst conditions (ie: unbroken sunlight for 24 hours). for interior use, it softer plastics are also viable, but for specific uses. like corner moulding or cabinet doors. I'd advise for harder plastics for counter tops however.

    Hey there this is a great initiative. Keep up the good work. The only concern I have is when it becomes widely adopted. I haven't seen in any of the videos thus far instruction to label the plastic with the recycling standard codes. Thus if everyone is re-using the plastics. we will hit a plateau where we have no idea which plastic is which. Binding this initiative. Please add in the importance to denote which plastic the items are made from for future recycling efforts.
