Thanks for the video. May I ask 2 questions? -Since you use a step bit, does the back hole end up being a bigger hole than the front hole... or do you run it all the way through so that both holes are 1/2"? -How do you attach these to your house around window frames and such? Thanks!!! -How do you
I drill the step bit all the way through so both sides of the pvc piece are ½” If you Google “clear pvc clips pixels” you will see the clips I used to use.
2x4 would work. This was just a scrap 1x3 I had laying around. We put it on a table saw on a 45* and ripped it, then flipped it over. That gave us a 90* V in the wood to hold the pvc pipe
Just to clarify a couple of points before I follow in your footsteps. The pipe is 1/2" pipe??? The hole you drill is 1/2" hole?? Any help much appreciated. I will buy a drill press this week to do this. It would have been helpful if you had shown the insertion of a couple of pixels. Thanks
The pipe is 1/2" ID (internal diameter) PVC pipe and you drill a 1/2" OD (outer diameter) hole in the pipe. That is correct. The pixels literally just push right in the hole. Let me know if you have any further questions and I can whip up a quick video.
1/2" hole is 12.7mm. wont it be little sloppy since the pixel are 12mm? what size did you make the hole that you push the pixel threw first to get to the 1/2 hole?
I used a ½” drill bit to drill through the PVC. Because the pixel has little tabs/ears and the pixel is going through two sides of the pvc pipe it’s a snug fit.
I plan on doing something like this as well for my show. Are you using these to go around windows? How did you navigate around corners? Pipe on Pipe or elbow or?
I drill the PVC for anything that I want straight lines for: rooflines, garage outlines, flat trees, windows, etc.I used a 90* elbow and drilled the hole so that it was right at the edge of the 90 on both sides, so that it would be symmetrical.
I’m confused. So the pixel pushes through the back hole and into the other side. The wire on the pixels are long enough for this I’m assuming. Can you please show us a pixel in the hole?
Yes, you got it right. The pixel pushes through the whole pipe with the front having the LED exposed and the rear having the wire exposed. This video shows the garage outline where you can see the pixels and how they stick out in the front and the rear - ruclips.net/video/fPWXOVwMgaE/видео.html

I really like what you've done here. Thanks for the video.
Very nice setup!!!
Great Video
I like the rims on the truck
Many thanks

How did you make the gully that hold the pipe in the wood. Is that a 2x4 or bigger?

Do you do 3" spacing on all your drills? And for that do you use 4" spaced pixels?
The jig is setup for drilling holes with 2” pixel spacing. I run 3” wires on 2” spacing.

Very Nice! You should sell some sections or the JiG! I'd buy some from you 60 ft worth.
Shipping 10’ j channel or pvc pipe would be expensive.
How did you make the channel in the wood. Router?
My111sons table saw at a 45* angle. Flip it around and 45 the other way.
Can you use the same setup for a 1" pvc pipe? Need to drill 3/4" hole both sides like you. Great video btw!
Yes you could. But I moved over to a 3d printed setup that drills holes 5x faster.
I just want to know what the motor is for.
2000hp 1973 turbo camaro
So....Since no one else asked about the motor, I will What do you have on the stand? I'm guessing a 350? The exhaust has me curious
That is my old turbo 408 SBC that I blew up 10 years ago. I ended up putting in a SB2 into my camaro now and it makes about 1500hp
@@Bigrob444 oh shit!!! Nice. Do you have any RUclips videos of that?
