I didn’t read the title well and thought it said how to make it work, and then realized it says “with adapter” but I still think it’s kinda redundant and dumb to offer a hack that isn’t a hack, it’s just a purchase of another tool. I thought diy was not purchasing more stuff
@Makebuildmodify24 күн бұрын
It can be done with the lower part of a flashlight that receives the new batteries. If you look near the beginning of the video, you can see that I cut off the lower part of the flashlight. You can also see in the same shot that I use this part on one of the adapters. So, it can be done without a purchase of another tool if you already have the newer flashlight. But, it's been a while since I made this video, and now there are aftermarket adapters and 3D printed versions.

Imperial has to be the stupidest and most hard way to get a precise measurement like bruh, cant we void 1/2's and 1/4's and so on and just replace with 16ths. None of this needless conversion and extra time wasted messing up measurements and dividing. Better yet lets change to a system that is divisable by 10s.

Excellent all around - have been making some of your projects without a table saw - just using a hand-held circular saw. Not as fancy - but gets the job done. How come you stopped making videos? Or do you have another channel anywhere? Either way - thank you!
@MakebuildmodifyАй бұрын
It's great to hear that somebody is making my project! I'm considering starting back up again. I had to go back to my day job. I'll probably have to take sponsors to continue though.
@NJroute22Ай бұрын
@@Makebuildmodify Do you get decent monetization with YT? Either way - I think your presentation style is perfect. Way above most others. No hand-holding. Too many other channels are over-explainers, etc. Don't you think that if you pick up again - your subscriber base will grow rapidly? I think others are also yearning for more straightforward makers like you. You might be surprised?
@MakebuildmodifyАй бұрын
@@NJroute22 Thank you for the encouragement, I really appreciate it. The YT monetization typically does not cover the production costs of a video. Over time, some videos will pay well enough to limp the channel along, but if I want to do it full time (my dream), I'd have to take on sponsors. It used to be more commonly viewed as a taboo (sellout) type of thing. Times have changed, and I'm reconsidering my position on in-video adverts.
@NJroute22Ай бұрын
@@Makebuildmodify Very interesting. Do you pay someone to make your videos? I have a channel (not monetized) - and my production costs are zero (other than the few hours it takes to make). Are you basing your costs on time/value? In other words - you make more working a "in real life" job over doing virtual things? I do have to say one more thing though - when I am building things at home - it kind of sucks to "do it for the camera" rather than just building it for myself. It'd be nice to have a film crew film for me while I concentrated on my project.
@MakebuildmodifyАй бұрын
@@NJroute22I do it all myself. My bigger projects can consume 40-60 hours plus the cost of materials. I lose a week or more of income from my day job. So, the real lifestyle cost is pretty substantial considering that I was trying to produce one project video per week. Moving forward, I'll have to do maybe one project per month and more talking head videos to fill in the month-reviews, tips and tricks, and things like that. Maybe even a "Maker Week in Review" where I cover other makers' projects.

@@Makebuildmodify Thanks for getting back to me. The only way I could see of keeping the locks, would have been to put the new batteries in the old case, which is not what I wanted. I will go ahead without the locks, knowing that I will probably have to use a Rube Goldberg solution to secure the adapter. The only two older Milwaukee tools I am wanting to use, is the hammer drill and the sawzall, so I will have to do something.
