I love what you do bro your the best!
Clarty paths ,they sell them in b and q i couldnt replie in the plumbing
section
Hey nick can you do a build on a green arrow or Hawkeye inspired recurve
bow it’s supposed to be an adult recurve I predict it should be 60-75
pounds. I’m not forcing or anything it’s your channel not mine this is just
a recommendation.
Just in case anyone thinks they may need to cut lots of angled lines in
dry-wall, thick motherboard, etc. there is are tools made specifically for
the task. Most craft stores would carry matt cutters that can be used with
a steel square to make long cuts with a 45° cant along their length. This
will be the tool I use to build a heater box, if I think I’ll ever need
one; as I do not trust my carving ability as much as Nick trusts his.
..And here I thought I was going to have to figure out how to make that
fantastic box on my own. You are a gentleman and a scholar, thank you.
Just a thought, here. You can get nice straight cuts with a “drywall
t-square” also found at Lowes or home depot. This would make the edges fit
nicely together and result in less heat loss at the seams. It may even make
the thing more rigid. Keep up the awesome work Nick.
Thanks for the videos. Well detailed and inspiring. I finished making the
box and just put a hole in the side to allow the heat gun to flow into the
bottom. No additional
lights to buy, no switch or wire. I bought the heat gun at Harbor Freight
for $8.00. An optional step for the electrically challenged. Great for
those who already have the gun.
This is just fantastic, thanks!
Good stuff man. im gonna make one of these because i keep getting spots on
my pipe when i use a heat gun. seams like it heats pretty evenly. thanks
for the great info 😉 keep up the great videos.
Thanks for the tutorial! This is great!
This is awesome. I can’t wait to see Part 2.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Clarty Paths, I’ve also seen them in Wickes as well – should be able to
mail-order them in as well
16 gauge wire is too thin to use for the amount of current you are pulling
with those bulbs you really be using 12 or 14 gauge, the larger the gauge
the less heat build up in the wire as the easier for the current to flow
though it. Great video as usual!
