His newfound obsession with brass is pretty wholesome.

MKBHD: Matte Black Everything DIY Perks: Brass Everything 😁

I have been watching youtube for 15 years now. Spending enormous amount of time on this medium and this is hands down the best channel i know. I absolutely love your sense for design. Keep on doing this!

"because they can get soldered together" the circle of tech making, he has ascended to non-repairable chasis

problems: exist this guy: *b* *r* *a* *s* *s*

i watched him for hours but i never built a thing from it. like this is just therapeutic for me to watch.

The final product looks amazing, good job! But for anyone attempting this kind of metalwork I would recommend adding some transparent nitrocellulose laquer after polishing the housing since brass tends to build up patina quite fast. It can be removed though but with the paint job done upfront the brass will maintain its finish.

i did this on “easy mode” by reusing the laptop display assembly and modifying a raspberry pi 3d print template to fit the driver board then just fixing it to the back. the laptop hinge got reused and works great. just have to flip it around by undoing the nuts and adding new lubrications. good alternative for anyone who doesn’t want to go thru all the metal work or doesn’t have the tools or space

Now this, THIS is finally going to make the mac guy at starbucks jealous. He used to shake his head at the vinyl wrapped ones, now look at him now, he's salivating.

I'm gonna build a touchscreen toilet bowl.

Matt: "brass really is a fantastic material" Aluminium: "no. no. no, I'm fine. as long as he's happy..."

So unique . . . his projects feel so professional. The only reason I could tell they’re DIY projects are because they’re so unique, but I really love it,

Friendship with aluminum ended. Now, we are using 🅱️R A S S

I need a button that when pressed is just the sound of Matt saying “Nice!” bc that’s the wholesome encouragement and validation I need in my life.

Very cool, and surprisingly innovative given how technically simple it is! It was even kind of inspiring to see you put it together. Makes me wonder why no one else has thought of this

Matt: brass really is a fantastic material. Michael reeves: taser goes brrrrrrr!

Can we appreciate that he has to shoot The intro after building the project and act like he's gonna build it twice

This guy is maybe the best DIY channel I've seen, out of hundreds.

best tutorial I've seen so far. You covered every possibility I was hoping for. The built in battery that you plug into with usb is THE best touch in the build. Its a perfect solution to get rid of the power cable yet its sleek and no extra finagling, just taking advantage of the built in features.

Amazing! Truly passionate! You make it seem too easy but it's not. I respect your work.

I love that you still do things by hand so people see that they can do it too. So many youtubers start getting a bunch of expensive tools as their channel grows and outstrip the capabilities of their audience.

Me listening to his speakers through my trash speakers: Ah yes, those speakers have great sound for the size

5:45 a significant improvement for stability and to prevent damaging the device and/or surfaces and possible injury, the legs should be joined by another length of brass soldered between the two legs.

Amazing Build Matt, It looks great, but the knowledge you must have blows me away! This must take you hours and hours and hours, condensed into 13/14 minutes, I just love things that are handmade, I’m a Teccy Geek, I just love your projects, Well done on another Superb build, I’m off to find your Next video 😃👍🏻

You're the Bob Ross of the IT, and engineering department

everything this guy does is so interesting that i cant click faster...

You are the best for teaching and explaining with how to build and where to get it. Everybody hide something while showing building or how to do. Thank you. May the lord bless you....

Really amazing! It opens my mind to so many new possibilities! Great job! Well done!

I just recently started realizing how profoundly the youtube channels I watch have impacted my life. I found this channel around when he posted the DIY camera slider which makes me 13 and now I am double majoring in mechanical engineering and sustainability. I love that he finds ways to recycle old tech and make sure your builds have real merit.

it's literally painful how good you are at everything.

Matt you are amazing at making cool stuff from old things. You save a lot of money and get to make exactly what you need and want. You have an amazing body build. I love your flat stomach. Thank you for putting together great projects and videos.

each video i watch blows me more and more away. Never stop making these amazing videos

"Friendship ended with aluminum, now brass is my new best friend"

I feel like in 2030 DIY Perks will be like “today I’m gonna build an entire new planet, on a budget, with clean water cooling and brass atmosphere to keep the radiation out”

That's definitely something I wouldn't mind having a go at. I think I'm going to be coming back to this video quite a bit to study it when I do. Great video matt 👌👍🏼👍🏼

This is such an amazing build I keep coming to it again and again every few day.

Holy shit the phone back camera method is brilliant.

DIY Perks - underpromise, overdeliver.

slick build. honestly not hard either. love it! Going to make my own "smart nav/entertaininment" for an RV and this display will be a key part of it. Show camera feeds, navigation, system info etc running off of....well probably a Raspberry Pi but I haven't gotten that far into the design.

I so wish I had a skill set like some of you on KZfaq. Then maybe I wouldn't struggle everyday of my life...

Brilliant build! I would like to add just one tip... Brass oxidises. especially when touched with bare hands as the oils in our hands speed up that process leaving the brass tarnished and discoloured. So, to save you the heartache of having to continually polish this, which could lead to potential damage, I suggest clear coating all of the brass once its been cleaned and ready to receive the parts. the Laquerre or Clear coat will create a very hard protective coating on the brass keeping it looking shiny for years if looked after. Then it'll only ever need a simple dust off now and then.

This guy is in a league of his own. The DIY's he makes is a Work of ART itself.

Absolutely amazing. I've never wanted to do something so much in which I have no idea how to do.

Really amazing build and easy to understand...just FYI 3 out 4 links of the EBAY screen items do not link anywhere. Keep it up my friend and i will very probably make one like this for my car

This channel perfectly balances being able to demonstrate how the projects are done and being appealing to those who would never want to try doing something similar (like me)

Matt in another 2 years time: "I made this out of my new favourite material... Titanium... Which can easily be welded in a vacuum so remember to wear your oxygen mask if you try this at home."

This and some hinges, for a top half. Combining it with the base parameters design of his watercooled ps5. Only instead, adding a thin heat sink layer with a louvered bezel to the bottom (by having the ps5 build essentially upside down,) to maintain fan+passive air and thermal control. Does add a slight thickness to the original slim concept, but with such wide area for thermal management using the whole base as essentially a passive heatsink, paired with the slotted bezel for dispersement of heat (aiming for rear exhaust channels) as well as intake of fresh air on all sides, I believe the added chamber could stay rather slim while simultaneously meeting or beating the watercooled specs without sacrificing a fan system. Allows him to stick to the external power brick, grab a laptop bag and a ps5 controller, and he’s off to the races. Potentially even adding a chance at a laptop battery-esque combo, for truly portable/wireless play. (Even if the standalone battery life would most certainly be dismal 🤣) All while negating the need of the waterlines+gigantic wall piece, which killed the first ps5 board. Absolutely not bashing, I’m in love with your work and your channel, and would just love to see the first laptop style, ps5 “move,” be amongst your accolades in the DIY creator space. I can’t thank you enough, for all the inspiration you give me in own home projects. Please keep reinventing the way tech and sleek design, combine. 🖤

This was very satisfying to watch. I like when these types of videos come up in my recommendations.

if you want to avoid displacing brass you have already soldered together you should try putting wet napkins on the joints you don't want to melt, it works surprisingly well.

That ps5 sneaking into frame at 13:00 now makes a lot of sense!

Awesome work. I'd throw money at one of those! Great explanations of method too. Looking forward to the next of the 'brass' series.

Nothing can't be perfect but the art of his work is just a example of infinite perfection 😍

DIY Perks: “Whatever screen type you use, it’s going to be fragile” Me with my 1990s CRT: *You underestimate my brokeness.*

- How many household appliances can you build with brass? - Yes.

Man you're killing it I wish I had almost all your designs

That brass looks fantastic!

Why does his filming style and narration remind me so much of "how it's made" on the discovery channel?

I really appreciate that you used actual DIY methods instead of just 3D printing a bunch of stuff and gluing it together

These micro sized controllers coupled with modern 4k touchscreen capable monitors is kind of mind blowing. You can now build your own Tesla dash board if you’re willing to spend the cash. I’ve seen iPads hacked into the dash, but choosing the resolution size etc here is actually huge for custom car work. One day I’ll have the cash to switch my engine to ev, but until then, this will keep me busy.

I can watch this whole day. This is some serious DIY.

He's getting more powerful. Now he's tried his hand into metallurgy! I swear, in a few years, he's gonna make a DIY Ironman suit series with a DIY fusion arc reactor episode.

You're always smiling and your builds are so profesional. Amazing!!

i love it,looks clean and minimalist

This guy builds shit that we are either too lazy or too broke to build and we watch it with the motivation "I wanna see what i'm able to do if i hauled my ass from the couch". That's nice

Come on MATT ! We all understood that this video is all for showing off your PS5 !! I am still in the waitlist tho. 😅

... You are without a doubt the coolest, most stylish "geek" I've ever known.

I like this guy.. He doesn't run out of ideas.. So interesting videos always

I know I'm not going to build any of these, but it's so satisfying to see this guy making cool stuff that I COULD make if I really wanted to

Matt, you're builds are always inspiring. The way you use different materials and electronics together seamlessly is awesome! I've got my eye on a few electronics projects and now I'm seriously considering brass 😀 Keep crushing it! - Brad

The fact that I have followed almost all his tutorials and the fact that my studio looks like a replica of this man, just proves how good his builds are.

The finishing of each piece and end result is as good as Apple product 👌 very much inspiring...all the best for your future projects 👍

Brass is a very nice material, as copper as well. The problem is that they oxidize pretty fast and get dull. If you want to keep it shiny than you should apply a transparent metal varnish. Good job, looks amazing.

Hi Matt, In 2019, I disassembled my old laptop when I saw your first version of a DIY external monitor, though I wasn't able to make my own external monitor. I'm thankful and happy to tell you that because of the videos you make (showing us that it's like a walk in the park even though it's not haha), and because of that first disassembly, I'm able to open and fix laptops and speakers today. I failed to mention that it helped me financially during COVID when I lost my job. Keep it up!

With this newfound brass obsession, I wonder how long will it take for that to convert into steam punk aesthetic obsession

This man knows how to do things...I wish I had his inspiration. THIS IS RELLY AMAZING :)

Absolutely lovely work! Thanks for sharing!

This is the man who will pioneer Knack III

This is one of the channels I don't skip ads.

I've been wanting to make a fold out touchscreen for the for the kitchen to make following online recipes easier. This idea would work perfectly, it's slim and doesn't require me to build and set up a small computer dedicated to the kitchen. I can just pull my phone out, plug it in and flip the monitor down (probably hinged to the bottom of a floating shelf with stiff hinges) and be ready to go.

Amazing! Honestly, I love watching your videos. I'm hoping to start on a project like this soon!

Damn this built results in a better product than many mass-market monitors/screens!

The English McGyver

Hi Matt, absolutely love your work! I've only just found your channel, I wish i'd found it sooner! It seems like your ebay links have expired and I can't find the components you've linked. Could you please advise what to search or potentially update the links? Many thanks in advance! Thank you for inspiring so many people to be DIY-ers!

This is one of the most aesthetical & functional DIY I have ever seen 🤙🤟💛

This is wholesome. This channel is wholesome. He is wholesome. And I love all of it-

Your builds are looking more and more professional, this is an amazing project with a great finish. Thanks

Congrats! It really looks awesome!

This may be a good preview monitor for the camera during the recording. The built-in screen is often too small to observe if everything's all right, especially from a distance.

I love that DIY to him doesn't mean "looks like garbage, but still works"

I really like how each build is unique, feasible and genuinely useful. Will attempt to make a rose gold version of this.

Really gorgeous build

Matt always creates an artwork..wow!! Shoutout from philippines ❤️❤️❤️

8:00 anyone getting Clickspring vibes here? The song, the brass, the friendly, enthusiastic voice - it all fits so well 😄

U should've just used a usb c charging circuit. That cable wouldn't be sticking out, it handles all the protection for the battery and u can use powerbanks with them as well.

Sad how many dislikes. This guy is awesome! I actually would love to do this project since anything this already made is out of my budget. I've found times something like this would be incredible useful on service calls.

Matt you're such a gentleman. Thank you. 👍👍👍

Who else wasn't expecting this from the title?? Too Good man His techniques are on a whole another level..

Another great DIY project that I'll never really do, but watch you doing it several times. Please consider working as a professional narrator. Can make millions on the side.

It's so funny to see how passionate he is. Definitely loves what he does 😂

Very well explained in a simple manner. Thanks bro. Keep it up.
