My buddy Tú asked if I fancied designing a Grill for Instagrammer Charlotte Moran. This isn't something I've ever tried before, but I do enjoy a challenge. I'm no orthodontist and certainly no jeweller, but I have a 3D printer, a basic grasp of CADwork, and a love of melting metals at home. So I decided to apply my lost resin casting approach to Grillz... what could go wrong? *MY THANKS TO...* Tú the Grillz guru for the opportunity ▶ https://printnpour.co.uk Charlotte Moran for letting me do this ▶ https://www.instagram.com/charlottemoran Jason C Kessler for the Spider STL ▶ https://www.printables.com/model/2522-spider @GrillzGermany for excellent content ▶https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2auT6u2f_s&t=297s

Make a simple Kanthal wire resistance coil heating element winding jig: I’m making an electric foundry which I’ll be sharing with you soon and I needed to make some resistance coil heating elements. I could have bought these but Kanthal coils can be expensive, but the wire is cheap and this Jig makes creating reliable resistances coils very easy.

How to cut Insulating Fire Bricks easily and safely with an ordinary electric mitre saw. I saved £240 by cutting these high temperature Grade 28 insulating blocks myself for an electric foundry (furnace) I'm building ( https://youtu.be/XypmI38IKAw ). Here I'll show you the technique to avoid all that nasty dust and achieve a precise finish. A quick additional note not obvious in the video... any ordinary wood blade will work fine - but don't use your best one. This material will blunt blades so an old one is best. A keen edge isn't necessary as the material is so soft. http://www.vegoilguy.co.uk/fire-brick-cutting.php 💚💚💚 *PLEASE SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL* 💚💚💚 The price of a cup of coffee can really help me grow my channel.

How to MAKE Caterpillar Tracks - continuous tracks - dozer tracks - tank treads - whatever you call the. I'm going to show you an easy way to make some. These aren't flimsy - they're solid - made of metal. Strong and reliable. Caterpillar tracks have that incredible ability to go places other vehicles can't. When I decided to have a go at making some at home in my garden shed, I had to come up with simpler method. It's just cutting, drilling and bolting. No special tools required. There's more details about it on my website: http://vegoilguy.co.uk/continuous_track.php I'll post any relevant updates there, but for now there's a free set of plans you can download and build from. My thanks for inspiration go to Matthias Wandel and his wooden tracks example. Please check out his excellent channel.

Lost foam casting is typically done with dry sand but here I cast aluminium with Green Sand. Furthermore I share my improved sand casting techniques which have come about after research, experimentation and lengthy discussions with an experienced metallurgist and caster. I’ve been able to refine my lost foam casting techniques to overcome issues such as folds to achieve a good standard casting every time, with improved metal flow giving a crisper finish.

Lost Foam Casting a Gear or Sprocket from Aluminium or any other metal can be problematic. Several attempts are often needed as the process generally isn't that reliable. Thankfully my technique, so far at least, has worked for me every single time, even when it should have gone wrong - like in this video. It even allows for quite fine detail.

How to Insulate your Foundry. After an effective, cheap, simple and easily achievable insulation for your Foundry? Well get plastered! Those terrible plaster foundries that we all love to hate share one thing - they're actually pretty good. So when the superior insulation qualities of plaster are added to the stable walls of a refractory build foundry, you can be certain of reaching those high temperatures. Stick with me as I cover the outer walls of my home made metal foundry with ordinary sand and plaster and demonstrate to you just how good it is. For more information and any additional updates, see my website here: http://www.vegoilguy.co.uk/foundry_insulation/

Homemade DIY Angle Grinder Stand EASY build with free PLANS. I needed an angle grinder stand that was easy to build, cheap on materials, accurate and achievable quickly. I came up with a Plywood Grinder Stand that ticked all the boxes! I could have bought an off-the-shelf stand, but I’ve had poor experiences with them in the past. Other YouTubers seemed to have stands that were made of metal or too complex for my needs. So I came up with this really easy-build plywood stand… and I’m going to show you how I made it. Its appearance is bulky, yes, but it structurally very strong and it allows for precise, square cuts every time. Mine cost me nothing as it was made with off-cuts and items I already had lying around, but even if I bought the plywood and bolts it would have been half the price of a cheap shop-bought stand. The design is adaptable for any model and you can shape and trim the frame if aesthetics are important to you. If you can glue and clamp, you can build this very versatile tool. Obviously angle grinders and wood are not ideal companions. Grinders spin at high speed and rely on friction - and that's a perfect way to generate fire. But if you're sensible (and if you're not, don't play with angle grinders) you'll be fine. You can also download a free cutting guide on my website here : http://www.vegoilguy.co.uk/angle_grinder_stand.php

Cutting Wooden Gears & Sprockets the EASY way - I look at using a very simple jig for improved ease and accuracy.

Electric Wheelchair Motor Test & Brake Removal - Testing a 24v DC Invacare electric wheelchair motor, looking at the wiring, the safety brake and eventual removal of the brake. Most wheelchair motors have a safety brake that locks the motor in case of power loss. Whilst essential in wheelchair use, when the motor is used for other applications the wiring can be confusing. I bought an Invacare 24 volt motor from eBay but found it had 4 wires rather than the two I initially expected. That's because the brake is electric and needs disabling or powering for safe use of the motor. Hopefully this video will give you all the information you need to achieve either.

Wire Splicing an EASY GUIDE. Permanently joining two or more wires with a soldering iron. Want to know how to securely splice two or more wires with a soldering iron? In this a subscriber requested video I’m going to be looking at splicing. I would define splicing as a means of permanently joining two or more electrical wires to enable uninterrupted current flow, and the emphasis has to be on ‘uninterrupted’ flow. That’s the key. That’s why I prefer to solder my spliced joints as I personally feel it’s the most reliable method of joining wires. I won’t be using off-the-shelf plastic connectors here. As a belt and braces kind of guy, I’ll be using my soldering iron, wire cutters, flux cored solder, a sharp blade and a few simple techniques that should enable anyone to achieve a good, solid, reliable electrical splice. I'm no expert, just a keen amateur, but hopefully this how to guide will cover the basics nicely and enable you to safely splice with confidence. http://www.vegoilguy.co.uk/splicing.php 💚💚💚 *PLEASE SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL* 💚💚💚 The price of a cup of coffee can really help me grow my channel.

A simple homemade Metal Foundry for casting metals at Home! Melt soda cans, recycle metal and cast in aluminium in your backyard. Use it as a mini forge... Simple Oil Burner video ▶ https://bit.ly/3UZOPaF Here I make a stable, high temperature home metal foundry to work alongside my waste oil burner, for melting and recycling various metals for other projects. Using dedicated dense, castable Refractory mix that’s capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1700 degrees Celcius (3092 Fahrenheit). This home metal foundry makes use of recycled materials, is easy to build, very affordable, is strong and stable and can easily be customised to suit your needs. Most home made foundry designs use 50/50 sand and plaster of paris, but this mix is just too weak. It crumbles and disintegrates too easily and I got fed up of repairing mine. This dense refractory isn’t exactly concrete, but it’s MUCH harder than this 50/50 mix and should stand up to years of use, especially if supported in a firm containing frame as I’ve done here. Once complete, the foundry is very heavy and not easily moved, so I mounted mine on castors for easy movement. This build is inspired by Grant Thompson (King of Random) and Myfordboy. These are mentioned in this video and I would recommend viewing their tutorials. My thanks to them for their sterling work.

Piggyback Fuse Holders bench / safety test : I’m looking at the Piggyback Fuse Holder to determine if it’s safe to use. Can they be fitted the wrong way? Can they blow existing fuses? Do they draw an imbalance of current from original fuses? Must they never exceed a certain rating? These and other questions will be answered here as I perform a series of bench tests on this electrical component to test its suitability for safe vehicle use. Piggyback Fuse Holders are commonly used in vehicles to add a circuit within the fusebox. But are they safe? People question if they are reliable or even dangerous. Probably the most commonly asked question is, can they be fitted the wrong way - and if so, what happens? I've already added an instructional video to YouTube showing people how they can safely add a fused circuit to their vehicle using a piggyback fuse holder which you can see here - ▶ https://bit.ly/3AvWHZt But people still have concerns and questions and these I have tried my best to answer in this video. SAFETY CONCERN - CIRCUIT OVERLOAD... The purpose of this video is purely to test the functionality of the Piggyback and its suitability for purpose. One thing I don't cover well in this video is the safety concern that faces every electrical extension scenario and that's overloading. Just because you CAN add more outlets, whether domestically or in a vehicle, it doesn't follow that you should. It's possible to overload the original wiring, regardless of fuses. This can result in electrical fires...

I had to fight to draw the bolt back. I have the same problem when I shut it. The reason for this is because the door has actually sagged. The hinges have let out a little and are sagging. The wood that makes up the door, gravity has had its effect on that and it’s droopy and sagging. Now I'm not going to replace the door. It’s perfectly good, plus the problem will happen again later on. So I'm going to fix the lateral brace. It's an easy job as you'll see here. http://vegoilguy.co.uk/shed-door-fix.php
