Building a simple display box to put your diorama on
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2020
- Today at Badgerworks, we embark on a series of videos that have spun off from an upcoming diorama build. In this one, we look at how to make a simple box to put under a display case, both to raise it up and to hide electronics.

On and on and on and on and on and on ..... mitre section Mrs Geezer must of been chuckling ! Pure gold youtube LOL
‘Obligatory rant/lecture’ Pure brilliance.
Safety first, and all that ;-)
Tutorials that are just do this, this, this and this and here is your box are OK. Something like this that also points out potential errors and actually shows the measurement process are so much more valuable. Also, got a small square the other day for measuring brass sheet. Discovered pointy thing and thought eh? Watched this and was OMG it is a scribe!! Note to self, if making something, wait a day or so as there is almost certainly a video coming that will help in some way!
Happy to help. When I was at school I had a Saturday job with a one man band engineering firm and he taught me so much about how to measure and so on. When I found out about that scribe, it blew my mind :-)
Have now used it, literally, a dozen times.
I hate wood, unless it's burning, another great video mate 😉👌
I worked with a cabinet maker as a lad, so it's kind of ingrained.
Geddit? Oh please yourselves...
Your my favorite modeler thanks for all the helpful tips
That's very kind of you to say, I appreciate it :-)
Oh the relief at 1:18 when we saw it wasn't cracked. Given your track record on these things it was 50/50!
This was actually the third one I was sent. The first two were cracked so it's more like 70/30 :-)
I want to say I love your work and the very accessible instructions. The humour gives me a healthy, hearty laugh. Keep churning out content.Fait play. Your son (I watched your Airfix zero build) is so lucky to have a Dad like you.
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Awesome! well that's super cool~
Love the woodworker’s notepad! Definitely felt familiar. Have also regularly used unpapered walls, doors prior to stripping ... one day someone in northern France is going wonder what all my pop master scores mean when they redecorate the bedrooms.
Keep it up, you are great, as ever.
One of the funniest things I ever saw was someone redecorating a house and, while painting something red, painted "Get out or die!" or something on the floor, then laid new carpet.
Imagine in years time when someone buys that house and pulls the carpet up... :-)
Thanks for the mini tour of the workshop. And the safety advice too, though perhaps it's also worth mentioning that MDF dust is nasty stuff and a mask is advisable.
Can't wait to see what the finished article is.
I actually have a dust extractor on the saw and a powered air filter unit in the shop, but you're right - MDF dust is nasty stuff and if you're working with it, it's a good idea to wear a mask.
As for the finished article, you'll see... ;-)
this one time at band clamp! nice one fella. enjoyed that.
Thanks 👍
Nice video, actually learnt some stuff. I do the same thing with mitres, draw the line then realise is on the wrong side. Sometimes I've even cut it before realising which is always annoying.
Those band clamps (or strap clamps) are damn useful, also dirt cheap off eBay as well, I got 2 6m ones for $25 AUD. Tape can also be used if you don't have those clamps or even just to hold it all together before getting the clamps on, just butt them end to end and stick the tape over the joins then fold it all up.
Another way to clean up MDF really nice without sanding is planing it, a shooting board can clean the mitres up really nice and make them fit perfectly. Obviously that's more work though.
Absolutely right. There are a million tricks one can use, which is why I say you never stop learning.
Excellent video and tutorial, thanks! I need to buy myself a tablesaw.... :)
They actually sell them in supermarkets these days. I saw a nice little one in Aldi recently :-)
@@SteamGeezerUK Yeah, I think I have found one at a good price, but what is keeping me back is that I need to find a place to put it :D :D
Hmmn.. what could be coming next? A box to stand the diorama on, and "hide the electronics"...
Looking forward to it either, sure it's going to be worth a watch. Cheers.
Patience, young padawan ;-)
I wish I had a saw like that... :(
Hiya
Always enjoy your videos,love seeing your shop.
But I did cringe with you not using s pusher stick when using your table saw.
There that’s my 2cents.
Keep up the fun builds and stay healthy thru this weird times we have.
You're absolutely right - I do have several push sticks and I should have used them or at least demonstrated their use.
@@SteamGeezerUK
Is cool.
Just was ould hate for you to have a video showing how to paint a printed finger.
I work in a machine shop and seen far worse.
:p

"...once that lid's on and it's got a model or a diorama on top of it, no-one's going to think there's anything in the bottom of it are they?" - No, but don't worry... we will now! :-)
Shhh :-)
Hinting the upcoming build but not telling. Ooh you tease.
Yup :-)
Why does it sound like car window wipers are going off at the start of the video? X-)
Probably the 3D printer.
@@SteamGeezerUK Ah though you were filming from an Austin Princess! X-)
Got to ask the stupid but obvious question here you had all the measurements on the box that it came in🤔
"Obligatory rant / lecture about safety" and what was your duty at CFB Suffield again.....? Ah, yes, range safety. :-)
Indeed. The thing I was find both funny and annoying is when I see people doing silly things. Safety very quickly becomes second nature, doesn't add any time to what you're doing but it's so often overlooked.
@@SteamGeezerUK I find that when it comes to safety, there are 2 types of people that need to be watched, closely; the ones who are careless, or stupid. Many years ago I worked with a gentlemen who had a foot firmly placed in both of those categories. Although told expressly not to, he took a 7 1/2 ton tracked vehicle straight up the side of a very steep hill. There is a tipping point with tracked vehicle's when going up hills, when they get to that point they want to go end over end, back down the hill. He and the vehicle ended up at the bottom of the hill, firmly wedged between 2 trees. After much anguish, 1 of the trees was cut down to free him and the vehicle. And amazingly enough, he never lost his job.
@@sammyseguin2978 I've known a few of those, believe me :-)
