In the old days, I would have been jealous of your neighbor....but in these days of RUclips, it is very nice to be invited in your shop for project after project.
Thanks. RUclips makes the world seem small. Wish I had good neighbors. Thanks for watching.
I’m not into lasers or CNC but I watch cause I appreciate the engineering that goes into these projects.
Thanks It's mostly new to me and I love playing with new technology. Thanks for watching.
Cardboard 1st- genius!!! I want to make an enclosure and have been watching videos first. Don’t want to waist wood when it is so much! Thank you
I use cardboard to work just about everything out. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I will be now too!
That is an amazing enclosure! Thank You So Much for sharing!
Thanks. It's one thing they should all come with. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Your enclosure is nicer than the laser. Xtool should hire you to make their product even better.
Thanks. I am sure Xtool will make an enclosure someday. Thanks for watching.
Ed, you are a master mind for sure. I thought I would watch you build the enclosure and then I could make one. LOL!!!!! I will for sure PAY YOU to do the build. You are brilliant.
Thabnks. You can do it. Get some cardboard to make templates and work out a shape that works for your needs.All that counts is that it removes the fumes and vapors. Thanks for watching.
This turned out incredible
Thanks. It's an amazing little laser but needs a good way to exhaust the vapors. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 absolutely. I pre-ordered the xtool m1
Very nice. Just needs laser safety glass.
The laser glasses are safer and certified. Thanks for watching.
Wow this is beautiful I need to buy me one of this and ask my husband to do the rest so I can add another services to my shop and keep my business growing thank you so much you just win me.
They are an affordable way to add new capabilities to a shop. Thanks for watching.
Ultra cool.. you are a true craftsman!
Thanks. Really just an old guy having fun trying new things. Thanks for watching.
Just bought a D1. Your craftsmanship is amazing!
Thanks. A little cardboard really helps work things like this out. Enjoy your D1, they are awesome machines. Thanks for watching.
Ed, once again you have outdone yourself. That is a real nice enclosure. The idea of having openings on either side is a good one. I did a job for a fellow last week on a 2x10 nine feet long. The engraving was 3 and a half feet long. You never know when a project like that will come up. I hope you and your lovely bride have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks. I am having fun with this rabbit hole. My wife wants engraved valances for our bedroom windows that will be about 3 1/2 feet long so the openings will be used in a video about them. Hope your family has a happy Thanksgiving also. Thanks for watching.
I don't normally watch Long youtube videos but being that I love working with wood and i'm getting a D1, I had to watch the whole process. Fantastic. Nice that you have all the tools to do it!
Thanks. This type of laser definitely needs some type of enclosure to remove the toxic vapors and fumes. Thanks for watching.
Outstanding are the instructions . Awesome tools/toys. Great display of craftsmanship. 🔥🔥
Thanks . It was a fun little project that is really required to safely operate one of these blue lasers. Thanks for watching.
Nice! Good ideas here. Like how the fan is mounted on the top.
Thanks. Those AC Infinity fans are the best. Thanks for watching.
Mighty fine work!
Thanks. Tried to keep it clean looking and simple like the D1. Thanks for watching.
WOW, what a nice enclose, you did an awesome job it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. This type laser really needs a good way to remove fumes and vapors. Thanks for watching.
Really nice job ! Thinking about building myself one that fancy and efficient
Doesn't mater what it looks like as long as the fumes are exhausted. I see xtool has a fairly nice one available now. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 just bought the xtool enclosure, it’s pretty good and easy to install, good UV shield, but the exhaust system is really not enough, a cloud line will work better, especially with some plastic VOC. I subscribed, eager to watch new vids 👍🏽
The build portion is my favorite part! what an amazing enclusre (i just built an acrylic fume hood for my d1 and i am jealous haha) might borrow a few of these tricks for my REV A build! thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks. Many viewers only watch the first couple minutes of my videos. That's what RUclips videos are about. The D1 is a fantastic little machine. Thanks for watching.
thanks for all the details and inspiring ideas...
These open lasers definitely need a way to contain and vent the fumes. Thanks for watching.
Yep, and the diy boxes seem much better, than the flimsy tents they sell. How was it with the perspex screen, does the clear work just as well as orange ? I've seen some people just using clear, but most opting for orange, thanks for you experiences/thoughts.@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
You need glasses with clear that offers no eye protection. I bought certified OD6+ glasses to be safe.
WOW That is very sleek and attractive. Your vast talents, knowledge and patience amaze me. It seems like you can work with just about any material. And you always do such beautiful detailed work. What a shop you have! *HAPPY THANKSGIVING Ed to you, your wife and family.* We got a lucky break with the weather here.
Thanks. It was another fun project. We wound up staying home today. Yesterday I wasn't feeling good and this morning my wife was also feeling crummy so we decided to stay home in case it's something contagious. The first year ever I had a baloney sandwich for Thanksgiving dinner because neither one of us felt like cooking. We have pans of sweet potatoes, homemade rolls, and deserts sitting in the garage that we were supposed to bring and I know what we will be eating for the next week. Calling for some snow here tomorrow. Hope you had a great day. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful job!
Thank you!
Bad ass!!! I just ordered my 1st laser (Xtool D1 10w) and your vent box is exactly what I need. Hopefully my friend and I will be able to build this when my laser arrives.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Hope you enjoy your D1. Dosen't matter how it looks as long as it gets the fumes out. Thanks for watching.
What a well made enclosed case you made! Great job…
Thanks. It's a requirement for this type of laser. This D1 is an awesome machine. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your video very well put together, your truly a craftsman and I love all your tools in your shop.👍🏻
Thanks. Really just an old guy having fun. Thanks for watching.
Great work. Good job.
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
Realy neat and good job.
Thanks for watching.
That looks so good! Looks commercially produced. I really need to enclose my laser too. You should be "Ultimate Redneck Hillbilly Creations."
Thanks. Everyone needs some type of enclosure and way to exhaust the toxic fumes they create. I wouldn't be surprised if our government bans the sale of them without an enclosure. Thanks for watching.
A very impressive build. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks. All these lasers should really come with an enclosure. Thanks for watching.
Very nice job! Lots of smart details. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
You sir earned yourself another subscriber. This is amazing and you sound very humble. I just bought a neje 40watt laser and it’s like 31” wide so I am on a mission to build and enclosure as well and like what you did with yours so going to find a ship with cnc and see what we can come up with. Thank you and God bless you and your family in the years to come
Thanks. You really don't need cnc to make something like this. Start with some cardboard templates and it's fairly easy to work out. Thanks for watching and subbing.
Looks good. Only downside I see straight away is no ability to pass through material longer that the working area of the laser.
I guess you didn't watch the whole video and see the slotted plastic side vent plates that slide up to pass boards through. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I didn’t see the part showing them slide up. Nice!
Looks awesome
It does a great jub controlling the fumes. Thanks for watching.
I bought off Amazon a Inline AC infinity with 402 CFM 6 inch with "premium virgin charcoal"
I have never heard of that. This is probably overkill but I will just get a new larger hose if I need to. Thanks for your help I just to be rather safe than sorry
A charcoal filter is for smell in grow tents and not. for1 removal of particles. Most lasers use a very expensive hepa filter. 6 inch is way overkill and will move a lot of heat from your house plus the duct is almost 7 inches od. You will need a way to make up for that either in your hvac system or open window to ptevent back pressure in your appliances. You had bett get some help designing your system because you apparently have no idea about airflow and keep going to different extremes. Contact Xtool and see if they can help you.
Dude! You did a great job congrats , great design
Thanks. It does a great job with the toxic vapors. Thanks for watching.
I am about to buy a XTOOL D1 and would love to get my hands on the SVG files to make a enclosure for it... Awesome job!!!!!
It's easy to work out with some cardboard. Make exactly what works for you. Thanks for watching.
Looks great
It works good for controlling the fumes. Thanks for watching.
Great job on this project!! I'm building one also but I have to make my cabinet much deeper than yours. I like to engrave repurposed, refinished "ACID" cigar boxes, and others, which are about 6" tall, so I need to raise up my D1 with the extension legs to clear the top of the cigar boxes.
That should be easy to do. That sounds like a great use for the D1. Thanks for watching.
Really nice build. You have a beautiful shop!
Thanks. It does a good job with the vapors. Thanks for watching.
I need to know when you're gonna make this available for purchase! LOL Outstanding job!
Thanks. I can't sell anything. Costs to much to get setup in NY. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Amazing project
Thanks . You really need a way to handle the smoke and vapors from these lasers. Thanks for watching.
Great enclosure build!
Thanks! It's a great machine. Thanks for watching.
Very nice build... again! That went together so well. I wasn't too interested in CNC or Lasers when I first started seeing them but the more I see you and another fellow I follow on here the better I'm liking them. I can see doing some really good pieces with very tight tolerances.
Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow!
That garden by itself will make a great meal!
Thanks. They are fun learning tools that always amaze me. Most of the lasers are affordable now and do a really nice job. Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving also. Thanks for watching.
WOW ..Just amazing workmanship
So inventive and cool looking
you should make and sell them...............Subbed
Regards, Rick
Thanks. Just sharing ideas to hopefully help others get started. Thanks for watching.
Really nice work!
Thanks a lot! Thanks for watching.
I am close to buying the D1 and would love to have this enclosure, but I’m not a wood worker and don’t have the gear anyway. I wish you were making these enclosures to sell, it’s a beautiful, functional piece.
I tried setting up a business a couple years back to make and sell items like this but the cost to hire any employees was ridiculous here in NY with the mandates. My lawyer said 22k a year in govt required mandates off the top just to be legal. So I just share ideas now. Thanks for watching.
Wow! I just love watching you work and your narration is straight to the point! Love your channel. My husband will be getting a CNC machine soon hopefully and I would love to have him make me an enclosure for my xTool! Any chance you have any plans for this? Again, amazing work!
Thanks. I don't waste time making plans. It's very easy to work out with a couple pieces of cardboard and use what materials you have available. Thanks for watching.
Awesome job; really well thought-out!
Thanks. Tried to keep it clean looking to match the D1. Thanks for watching.
Just subbed, very good content, thanks for the tips
Thanks. I hope you find other videos that interest you. Thanks for watching and subbing.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Is it recommended to install drag chain on the x gantry?
Really a nice job, to bad you don't have any build
files available.
Thanks. It's super simple to work out with a little cardboard. Thanks for watching.
Ed, beautiful job as always. Your attention to detail in everything you do and how you explain is wonderful. Would you sell a copy of theses plans. Watching your review of the D1 is what made my decision on getting a beginner laser so much easier. I ordered from your link and have received and have my grid on order now. My wife is even now loving your channel watching the gardening and other videos
Thanks. I don't have plans. that would be useful. I have the tap files for the side but that's not what the final assembly is. I start slightly over size and trim as I put things together. Most everything was just made from measurements as assembling and I don't waste time documenting stuff or fixing files because I will never build another. I drilled and tapped holes in the frame by transfering them and had to modify the x motor cables to make the chain work. I have about 100 hours into this. Most went to tweaking everything to be a perfect fit with perfect gaps as putting it together and changing ideas as I went along. I would say start with some cardboard, make some sides, decide if you want to void the warranty or use other ideas to make it all work together. I originally was trying to find a vacuum former to just make a big one piece clear enclosure over a form I started that would drop over the machine which really would be easy to mass produce and be super affordable but that would have taken months with the current situation so .I switched to this. Thanks for watching.
I see they mention they are working with lightburn which should be out in the near future ! Something you were hoping for Ed.
Another fantastic job too ! You always amaze me with how creative you are, and I can never believe how much you get done ! I'm sure you've found a way to clone yourself :)
I have been told it will work the beginning of December but you never know with how Chinese companies will say anything to get sales. I am hoping by the end of the year. I always have atleast 3 projects started for job security 😉. Thanks for watching.
I am running on lightburn right now. They worked hard to implement it fast and Mine works great now.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 That's great to hear Ed, that was quicker than I expected! Thank you for the update /reply.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 you are able to use light burn with the xtool d1??
@@laurenzeth9704 Yes since the end of November. It works great. Follow the instructions on the xtool support page
Great work. I watch all your videos. Keep it going.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
That is an impressive piece. Maybe you can sell the design to them to produce.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks. Chinese don't buy, they just copy 😮. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 yup, oh well. LoL
Nice! Do you find the fan on top to work efficiently with the inlet on top seeing that the smoke/fumes have to rise to it instead of putting the fan on the side at the bottom?
Pulls fumes off the top and fresh air in from the bottom. No dead space in the enclosure. Thanks for watching
Love these enclosures you've made. Would you consider building an enclosure for me? Just the enclosure with cutout for exhaust, Unpainted and shipped flat for me to assemble? Very very interested.
Sorry I am not set up to be able to sell anything. I tried setting up a business with 2 employees here in NY and the state mandates and fees were just too high. Over 20k a year off the top every year. Only sharing ideas. Thanks for watching.
Wow.. I need you to build me one of these :P good job.
Thanks. You should give it a try. Thanks for watching.
Amazing job I love 💕 your videos you are so creative thanks for sharing
Thanks so much 😊
Hello it’s my first time visiting your channel after watching the entire video I didn’t have a choice to subscribe when I see someone with this type of talent I want to make sure I don’t miss out on future projects as well as going back and watching all the videos you have posted I’ve always been into wood working I found your channel when looking for enclosure ideas for my Xtool D1 I’ve been through a lot of videos and your enclosure is by far the best one I’ve seen yet would you happen to have a file for this enclosure if so and you would make it available I would definitely buy the file have a good day and keep up the good work and keep the videos coming I don’t just watch part of these videos I watch the whole video because you never know what you will miss. Thanks for sharing with us
I don't save files. They usually are just rough outs I continue to modify until I get exactly what I want. Get some cardboard and work out your own based on your wants. Thanks for watching.
Excellent content as always. Happy Thanksgiving.
Same to you! Thanks for watching.
Sir you are a very talented man, love watching your videos. My D1 is on order and should be here in a couple weeks. I'd like to get started on my enclosure, could you tell me what the dimensions are for your box
Thanks. It's just the size of my D1 inside and about a foot tall at the back. I would wait until it arrives and you figure out how you plan on handling the cables because that can make a big difference. Thanks for watching.
Sweet.
Thanks. I am very happy with how it came out. Thanks for watching.
Great Build!!! I am interested in the brand of cnc router you have been looking for one and they are so many to choose from.
I built it . There's a playlist about making it. I really like the Masso controller I used. Thanks for watching.
Like to know more about forming the lid on this enclosure.
I show it in the video about building a shield for the back of mt kubota tractor. Just v out to leave a .100 hinge and cold form in my metal brake. Thanks for watching.
Ed, Question - What length cable Chain did you purchase from Amazon for your enclosure. Thanks and great video.
I just bought the standard 1 meter length and kept removing links until the laser cable just fit. Had to extend the motor cable a couple inches. The spot I mounted it was the only place the cabling to the laser didn't need modding. Thanks for watching.
New to the channel, great build. I was looking for something on YT for enclosures for the X1, and yours was the first to come up, can you show how you tied the vent into your existing duct? Thanks again.
It's just a 4 inch tee going out through one of the 4 inch flapper vent like they use for dryers to keep clod air out. Used 2 4 inch dust collection blast gates to isolate them when just running one. Thanks for watching.
great video. question...What was the reasoning for screwing the cabinet and laser together? Pro's/Con's (besides voiding warranty)? awesome build
Just because I wanted to be able to pick it all up together to use on a large surface. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing this inspiring build! What size cable chain did you use? I'd like to add one to mine but not sure which one to get! Thanks for sharing!
In the description of the build video. The x cable needs to be extended and there is only one position it can be mounted in for the laser cable to be long enough. Could also use a smaller one if you don't run air. Thanks for watching.
Is there enough room to add additional risers? Mine is come with 2 extra sets.
Not in my enclosure. You should build something taller or with adjustable sides. My rotary doesn't need spacers. Thanks for watching.
That’s a great enclosure. I’m in the middle of begging my brother-in-law to help me build one. Are there any modifications you wish you had done, after using this for a few months? I’m interested in putting in laser safety acrylic rather than clear; pros or cons?
I used clear because I use it in many videos. Should have made it from steel so it's fireproof but I decided to take the cheap way out. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I honestly thought yours was steel when I looked at the first picture before I started the video - that orange paint! I’m leaning towards the orange acrylic, because I will be running this in a room in a shop which has two doorways - but no doors - and I want to protect the eyes of anyone peeking in around curtains. I will also have two dogs in there on occasion, and figure it helps protect them, too. Thanks for your help and the response!
Excellent work, Sir. I’m doing research before designing my own enclosure for my xtool d1 that showed up yesterday. I used it for the first time today and wasnt expecting so much smoke and fumes from the cutting, so it looks like an enclosure is in order. Would you say that the 4” duct fan moved enough air to keep the smoke down? Is there any reason why you didnt opt to go down draft?
Once again, nice work, and you have an impressive shop there!
This Infinity fan is overkill and I only use the 2 or 3setting. Fan should be designed to create just a slight vacuum in the enclosure and it doesn't really matter how it flows. I figured updraft would let me open the cover faster. Air intake locations seems to make the biggest difference in how clear the air stays. Thanks for watching.
Great job and thank you for sharing !I thanks to your review I ordered a D1 too and would like to add air assist system. What type of compressor should i get? any refererence? thanks in advance !
I just hooked mine to my shop compressor. It doesn't take a lot of airflow so any compressor will work. Some people use a large nozzle and get away with aquarium pumps also I have been told. Thanks for watching.
you should really consider making and selling this enclosure
Thanks. I am not set up to sell anything. Thanks for watching.
Great job! How well does the air assist work? Given such a small nozzle?
Works good so far. It's small but uses high pressure like an air knife. Thanks for watching.
You should get the extension for the xtool, then make a new enclosure for it, 😂
Waiting for my D1 pro. Looking at Co2 for larger work. Thanks for watching.
Did you have to extend the wires or were they long enough to fit in the chain?
like I said the x motor cable had an extension added and the laser cable was fine. There is only 1 position the chain can be in for the cabling to work out. Thanks for watching.
Man I wish I was as skilled as you! I was wondering if you have had any problems with the software so far? I have had 2 projects now be ruined because the software just shut down once I was doing the final version...☹ and once that happens I don't think I would ever be able to get the design to line up again. Love watching your videos though!
I haven't had any shutdowns but I switched to lightburn the end of November so I haven't used their software since. If you use lightburn there are excellent instructions on the xtool support page showing how to set it up. Load their setup for the d1 also for the easiest way to get started. It uses the upper lh for the origin and works great. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Thanks so much for your help!
Just found it sorry. Hope I have the skill to make it look like yours.
Doesn't matter how it looks as long as it works.
Curiosity question...You mentioned being careful with your bit choice when cutting plastics. Why didnt you cut those pieces with the laser instead?
You can't cut clear polycarbonate with a blue laser and if you could the gasses are extremely hazardous. You need a fiber laser for a clean cut in Lexan that thick. Thanks for watching.
Even with the filter, I want to filter it outside with a hose. If I get a reducer is that fan strong enough to push it safely out a 30 or 35 foot 1.25-inch hose, please?
The Infinity fan will work with a 25 ft 4 inch hose. You will need a high pressure blower for smaller tubing and longer runs. 1.25 hose won't move enough cfm without a very high pressure blower to overcome the static pressure.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Great answer glad I asked. If the air is already filtered at the Enclosure you mean something like a cheap in line fan about 10 or 15 feet in line down from the filter to give it a "boost" ? rated at 100 cfm or 150 cfm to push the air on out or more cfm I have no idea ? I appreciate your time i would not want my 3year old grandson to get sick on my account
You will need something like a shopvac to use 1.25 tubing and they are not rated to run constantly as many jobs take 6 to 8 hours. The Infinity fan and a short 4 inch run outside works for me and that's all I will use. Anything else you must design and test. Use metal pipe or metal lined hose so you don't develop static that can destroy electronics and shock your grandson. Some plastics create vapors that can kill so do research about the material before burning on it.
Ii am interested in building my own enclosure for my Ortur Laser Master Pro 2. I saw the video on your version of the same unit. However, on this unit you used a different model fan and you did not put a diffuser in. Is there a particular reason? And, also I see you didn't drill as many vent holes and seems like you incorporated them into the side plexiglass panels as well as a few drilled holes in the bottom. Thanks for your time.
I decided to try the new lower cost fan and It works just as good. Same specs just more plastic. Just changed the vents so a long piece can be slid through the sides. The vents across the back are not needed and the baffle gives more even airflow but is not needed from what I am seeing. Thanks for watching.
Just ordered my D1. Any chance of you making me an enclosure like that?
Just sharing ideas. Thanks for watching.
I noticed you have an adjustable air assist. Why would you need to adjust it. I just got mine and it only has one setting (got it from xtool)
I use high pressure compressed air. There should be an adjustment on the pump. My Dewallie pump has a knob to set it on my new Ortur laser and a flow control for fine tuning. I have no idea what Xtool does to set theirs. Contact them. Thanks for watching.
I think I’ve heard you say you don’t make plans so I’m curious how you generate the input to your CNC router.
I just rough sketch the outlines to cut then make the final changes, adjustments, and holes as I build so the original files are not accurate. I just toss them because it's a waste of time to fix them at the end for me. Thanks for watching.
Would you be willing to share your plans for this case?
I don't waste time making plans. It's easy to work out with some cardboard. Thanks for watching.
Do you have the building plans
No I don't waste time making plans. It's easy to work out. Thanks for watching?
Do you make and sale cause I would love to have one like this?
No I am not set up to sell anything. Just sharing ideas and how to think a project like this through. Thanks for watching.
I enjoy my Prusa so why not an XTool D1? I had no idea about health hazards. It has not shipped yet I bought the St. Patricks day deal they had and all the bells and whistles. I may cancel the order and get a refund. I need to find an enclosure and this may be it. Since you do not profit from this do you have a material list? May not be worth the risk in my house.
It's just scrap I had laying around. You can just use it outside until you build an enclosure. Thanks for watching.
Does the AC Infinity cause vibration when engraving?
No vibration from mine. I usually just run it on number4. Thanks for watching.
Please tell me you’d be willing to make me one of these enclosures?! I have zero tools and even less know-how to build something like this but my D1 is supposed to arrive on Monday. I am using it to mainly cut foam which I’m told has toxic gas released when burned so I need an enclosed. Could you make me one that I could buy from you? I’m in the US, Independence, Kentucky to be exact. Thank you in advance!
Sorry I can't make anything to sell. I tried setting up a business with 2 employees a couple years back but the cost of NY mandates to hire employees was too much so I just share ideas.
All the laser fumes are toxic and should be vented outside. Thanks for watching.
Ed, are you selling the files for the enclosure.
I don't have any good files. Just roughed out the sides and kept modifying them until they fit. I don't waste time going back and documenting things. It's really easy to work out with cardboard to get exactly what you want. Thanks for watching.
Hi friend, I received a comment from you asking the marking product is plain steel or stainless, but for I don't know why this comment is hidden. So reply you here: the pliers are plain steel. :)
Thanks for the reply. It did a nice job marking them with no coatings. I didn't expect that because the blue lasers I use only can engrave bare stainless. It looks like a very nice machine just wish it engraved a slightly larger area. Thanks for watching.
Ed are you making and selling the enclosure also?
No I can't. I tried setting a business up a couple years back to make things like this to sell but once the lawyer listed the yearly cost of just NY mandates to hire 2 employees I decided not to. NY is just too expensive to start a small business in. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I know, I live here also. The property taxes alone are insane, I live on Long Island and it's crazy.
If you sold these on ETSY, I would be interested.
Can't make anything to sell. Just share ideas. Thanks for watching.
Do you have the cnc files from this?
I just delete them when I don't plan on building another so they don't waste space. It's very easy to work out. Thanks for watching.
do you sell these ?
Sorry, I can't make anything to sell. Just sharing ideas. Thanks for watching.
Thats awesome.. Are u selling the svg file.....
Thanks. No I never go back and fix the files when done. I rough cut parts then adjust things as I go and add the holes and things. Takes to much time and I just share the ideas. Thanks for watching.
where can i buy one? lol :)
Make one. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 lol i don't have the proper tools, but it's pretty amazing what you have built.
how much for this?
You have to build your own. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 are specs available to purchase?
...or at least sell the plan/template for the pieces
Try making cardboard templates to work it out. A little time and you can customize it for your needs.
