Cutting that curve with a router was, as you Brits say, brilliant!! Loved this clever and fun project. Every time you turn on the cozy light you can feel happy and remember you shared that with all your viewers. ❤

Excellent project and so well explained. Top marks for fading out the theme tune playing from the speaker in your house there at the end 🙂

Tip for us oldies, Take a picture of the pages from the manual with your phone and then you can zoom in to read them.

You clearly have a 'mechanical mind' naturally as i constantly witness with every project that you share. Your explanations and reasonings as to why or why not you do or don't use particular tools or techniques are so transparent and this is the reason i subscribed ! You have common sense and a truckload of knowledge. Thanks for sharing your knowledge mate 👍👍👍

I can't wait to get my garage tidied up this winter so that I can install a table router and other useful bits of DIY equipment, so that I can be massively more productive in the evenings and weekends. Or a pinball table. Hmm.

Thoroughly enjoyed that although trying to build something like that in my garden using an old barbecue as a table and without access to all those tools I don't think my effort would be as good. Mind you I did make a charity raffle ticket machine from scraps of ply, sticky back plastic and some paint and it looked good and actually worked!😊

@andrewwilson3663 Жыл бұрын

Nice little project. Another way to cut the curve would be to go close to the line with a jigsaw and then finish by taking the last mm or 2 with the trimmer.

Thankyou for this one. I’ve tried a few things in the corner of my conservatory, but they weren’t right. With a few mods to your stand, to fit into my corner I’ll have a cracking little disco for the grandchildren…. I’ve got the lights on order, whist you were teaching…..

That's came out really well, I think you should have given the edges of the timber upright a round over, unless you did and it looked sharper on camera.

I have to refit a toilet seat and it has butterfly type screws underneath than I desperately need tightening up. Because I suffer with rheumatoid arthritis especially in my fingers I am unable to tighten them up. Is there such a tool I can buy that would help me with this please? Many thanks sir. Stay safe and well. Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.

@gerrydawson9250 Жыл бұрын

Looks great but from experience I can tell you that those strips won't take long to break down. Heat is a killer for LED's so they need to be mounted to an aliuminium heatsink. You could route out and let in an ali box section the length of the strip then stick the LED to that.
