Using the head from a cordless drill as an endstock

Posted on February 20, 2020 by robertwilkie

The title on the video confused me. The author basically is using the head from a cordless drill to be part of the tailstock for a homemade drill based lathe. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/homemade-lathe-wood-using-old-gearbox-reducer-cordless-drill-76799?homelistings#post148280

Cool LED and water combo sign

Posted on February 19, 2020 by robertwilkie

I wish the author included a video of it working. It looks cool as the LED shines thru the sign and water runs thru the lettering. https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-LED-Water-Lamp/

3D print a brake for your vise

Posted on February 17, 2020 by robertwilkie

Interesting build for a metal bending brake for your vise. Not so sure I would do this as I don’t know if I would trust it. Also you can buy one for your vise for $40.

Review of a resin printer

Posted on February 15, 2020 by robertwilkie

The author did a nice review on a cheap resin printer. The Phrozen Sonic Mini, the review sounds interesting, but I can’t find it anywhere for $200, maybe $300.

Interesting video on converting a frig compressor

Posted on February 14, 2020 by robertwilkie

The author basically bypasses the relay and wires in a switch directly into the compressor to turn it on. Downside, to turn it off you have to cut power to it. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/how-make-simple-air-compressor-refrigerator-motor-77315?homelistings#post150438
