Добавлен 1 ноя 2016
Welcome to The Every Maker, my name is Nick and I love working with my hands. I've loved building things from a young age and I believe anyone can get out to the shop and make things. I want to inspire people to go out there and learn something new, to experience the thrill of taking a project from the moment of inspiration to a finished piece. Also, my wife has a very long honey-do list for me and I might as well make videos doing it

You can use a fine drill and drill in to the wand from the handle insert your core whatever that is and with a little pva glue and the sawdust fill the hole in sealing in your core
Helpful video. Be sure to flip your edge using the drawn line as the axis. The way you first rotated your edge, an S-shaped edge would measure as straight. And if you go end-over-end, a C-shaped edge will measure as straight.But use the drawn line as the flip axis and you're all good. 👍🏼
Absolutely agree! My straight edge isn't one I could flip on that axis since it had a bunch of raised surfaces on the top. However, the chance of it being a perfection symmetrical S shape is pretty slim, so I accepted the risk and was able to verify the accuracy later. And a good note going end over end, that is far more likely to be an issue.
Thank You James - You are awesome!
My name is Nick, but thank you!
Thanks for the tip!
I hope it helped! Thank you for watching!
This came up in my feed. As you ask, I gage for square with a test indicator and a surface gage. Usually pick up a zero from a cylindrical square and then see how a given part performs. There's a significantly wider margin of error with wood. Metal can be unforgiving. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you for the information and thank you for watching! The tolerances of working with metal are always so tight! I took a class in metal working and it was amazing to see the difference between wood and metal.
Wow! Cool, nice job! Is it possible to replicate this project? Can you tell me the measurements of the legs, please?
Of course, be my guest! The legs ended up being about 27 3/8 inches long from the edge to the furthest tip. The dowel is 31 1/2 inches long. Hope you have fun building it! If you do, post it somewhere and tag me!
Same here, I too don't have an "eye" for such a thing. I won't believe anyone has that eye unless I see them pointing out twists and bends in real life on at least a 100 different beams.
In a lot of cases, eyeballing it can give you a close enough, but really dialing in my tools took my woodworking to another level.
@mikeharmmon26 totally agree. I can't understand why content creators add music. I don't watch the video for the music. I watch to learn. This video looked good at the start. Once the 'music' kicked in, time to leave.
I do try to keep the captions up to date if you'd rather mute and learn in silence. However, there are a lot of great channels out there that don't use music. I hope you find some good content that suits your needs.
❤
Thank you!
Good idea. Thanks. Where can I find the Swanson straight edge?
I think I got mine at Lowes, but it looks like they carry Swanson at Lowes and Home Depot.
Fours years later, still inspiring people, thank you for making this video!
Thank you for checking it out! I'm always surprised by how many people still watch. I really want to get back into it, and someday soon I will.
Thanks! How simple it is! i want to etch some textures on aluminum any help please...
This should work with aluminum as well. I have seen people do full on baths with the positive connected to the item you are etching, and the negative attached to another piece of metal (like stainless steel). Then just plug it in and let it do it's thing. You can also use paint to protect the surface of the metal. Probably want to use a latex paint or some other water resistant paint. I've not tried it, so do at your own risk, but experiment away!
Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Awesome job! Do you know if the etching will rust? I’m thinking about doing this to a high carbon blade.
I have had my cup for several years now and there is no rust. It's just exposing fresh metal though, so treat it as you would the rest of the blade and you should be good.
Nice! Did you use a metal or magnetic latch? The clicking sound it makes when closing is satisfying.
That was my original plan, but it has a slight friction fit to it that holds it together. It almost became just a fidget toy because of that sound!
Your surface has to be relatively flat, also a straight edge has to be very off for this to happen. You need a known flat surface such as a Starrett straight edge or a machinist block.
The better equipment you start with the easier it is to make sure everything is straight and even. I had good luck with my my setup and found some "straight edges" that weren't quite. But once I got everything dialed in, I was able to do much more accurate work.
What type of wood? Did you use for the first wand
That was a piece of Holly from a not so healthy tree in my side yard. I liked the gnarly texture and natural look of it.
You bought a four pack of squares at harbor freight and “thought they would be square”?
I have actually had some reasonably good quality stuff come from HF, though I was surprised just how bad the squares were. Most squares you can adjust somewhat to get them into alignment, but in this case, not so much.
Nice! If I used a power supply (like for anodizing), is there any specific voltage i should have it at?
I am no expert, but looking up a specialty etching machine, it is 12v at 3a. They have a plus model that is 24v at 3a. I would still be careful, especially when dealing with the salt water at those levels, but it should still be safe with the proper precautions.
Love the great design, thank you for sharing
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
This is great!
Thank you so much!
I've seen SO MANY push sticks videos and web pages. But have never seen a SO straight forward, simple to use and easy to build invention. But being somehow lazy, i hoped getting a sketch.. a drawing that I can print then glue ...etc. Well !!! You jut made my day with your full drawings and instructions... THANK YOU SIR !!!
I'm so glad you found the instructions helpful! I have to admit, this was a spur of the moment design and it's turned out to be one of my most useful projects!
thank you James
So glad you like it! Thank you for watching!
Thank you Nick I enjoy this video
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
A great video tutorial on how to make a "how to make" videos
Glad you liked it! Never thought of it that way, thank you for the kind comment!
@@TheEveryMaker yeah it was very organised and full of elements
I am just wondering why you use the electricity you can get the same results without it
There are definitely many ways to achieve this kind of etching, but I found this to be not only a fun project, but an interesting introduction into electrical etching. My dad used to have a sand blasting station, which would be great for something like this. I've seen people just use clear mat paint to make it look like an etch, or just sanding it in. I like the ability to get finder detail with this method and not having to buy any other materials other than what I had on hand. What method would you use?
Cool
Thank you!
A square that is not square! Wtf
You'd be surprised how many squares are not square. I've checked them from Harbor Freight, but also from places like Lowes, Home Depot and many other places. In some cases, they are good enough, often the case in construction. But when doing fine furniture or detail projects, it those small discrepancies really make a difference.
Whats the risk of electrocution, considering youre touching both + and -?
Great question. In dealing with this it's a voltage and amperage issue. Since we are using such a low amperage and voltage, there really was no risk to me. It's been a while since I've done the project, but there is a lot of good information out there about the level of voltage and amperage you need to be concerned about.
Thanks 👏🏼
Happy to help!
This is literally dope
Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful!
Very good, Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
Great explanation, wow what a simple way to test if a precision straight edge is straight.
It really made a difference it my work. The basis for all things, including making sure your square is square!
As far as I know, the gas causing the bubbles is O2, H2, Cl and HCl which is explosive when exposed to UV light. Do you know if there will be created enough gas to be dangerous following your setup?
I had good ventilation when I did the project. It took a long time to do and there was very little gas produced. Though if you have concerns, I would definitely suggest investigating the amount necessary to be a concern.
Who says the edge or the wood is straight?
That is something that needs to be checked. Fortunately, I have a video on how to check a straight edge!
It's nice to have a use for the orphaned power cables that I have hoarded over the last 2 decades.
I know right?! I have a bin full of them in the attic.
Etching stainless? Nah homie hexavalent chrome cancer risk
Good ventilation is the key, also you can wear a mask, but always better to be safe.
k dog approves
So glad for the approval! Thank you for watching!
Very good idea, much simpler than other sugestion wits aluminum square. I like yours better
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
The sound we hear in the background is very anoying
You mean the music?
Nice video Was helpful Thanks
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for an informative video! Im wondering, does it make a difference when having something metal behind the cotton like you did with the pliers as opposed to when you only used the cotton swab? Ive seen so many different videos and am just trying to understand what exactly the etching tool needs to be
It's all about conducting the electricity. For me, I used the plyers as a stiff base to wrap the cotton around and conduct the electricity. Plus, the rubber handles made me a little more comfortable, those as these voltages/amperage, it's not that big of a deal. As long as you have something attached and there is enough saturation in the cottons swab, you should be fine.
@@TheEveryMaker thankyou!
Great video. The background music a bit overpowering though. I will subscribe.
Thank you for the feedback. Something happened between mastering the audio and exporting and it's a bit louder than I wanted, but too late to do anything about it now. Thank you for subscribing! I hope to have new videos soon.
one thing I did on my push sticks is to glue sandpaper to the bottom. Gives great control with no slipping
The only reason I didn't do that is because I had a project I was working on that had a finish already applied. I had considered other options, a rubber matt, shelf liner material, but ultimately I was happy with the raw edge. I think I would put sandpaper on one if I make another, it does help a lot!
This might seem fundamental, but having a perfectly straight edge to work with is absolutely crucial. Thanks for the tip.
It really changed my woodworking when I started looking into straight edges and square tools. I was surprised to see how out of alignment stuff was! Glad you found it useful!
Firstly, nice push stick… secondly what the bleeding buddha bowl was that music!!! 😁 Clearly I’m getting old 😎😌☹️
Glad you liked the push stick, sorry you didn't care of the music. It's a personal preference, and royalty free music isn't easy to find. Might not be for everyone.
Dude that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing this video 🎉
Glad you found it useful! It was a lot of fun to do, I just need a better stencil and I'm definitely going to do it again.
Thanks for the tip friend, I would say since your already etching it it shouldn't hurt to have just put the stencil on the bottle then cut out the symbol. It would be slightly more difficult to cut do to it's roundness but you wouldn't have any transfer trouble
That's a great tip! I was worried about cutting the surface initially, but after I thought about it, it's going to get etched right up to that point anyway, so it wouldn't really matter, as long as you didn't go over your line. I think I might just have stencils cut when I do it again, rather than doing it by hand.
nice! the best ideas are the simplest
I agree! I love this one and use it everytime I use my saw (unless I'm using my table saw sled).
I would recommend drilling from the bottom of the handle upward. And avoid using glues and unnatural stains. Personally.
I was trying to avoid plugs and things of that sort, using the natural cracks in the wood. If you were to drill a hole, how would you plug it up without the use of glue? I typically doing use stain, I like the natural color of the wood, but in this case, I liked how the stain gave it a bit of an aged look.
