Here you’ll find some tricks of the trade for plumbing and gas fitting, also I’ll be exploring a series of methods for foundry, focusing on cheap alternatives to known methods, and especially, I’ll be posting hacks and DIY projects. All these are directed to the DIY enthusiast, those of us who would prefer to make our own car instead of buying one, if we could, but also focused on ways of saving money when you need to find a solution to a problem.

I have university studies and degrees in Biology, Fisheries, Business Management and a Certificate as a Licensed Home Gas engineer. I have worked for over 25 years in plumbing and gas fitting, but I have also worked for quite a few years in photography, business management and fisheries research.

Thank you! Greetings from Chile
Thanks for leaving a comment.
Quick question, would warming up the sealant with a heat gun?
No idea if that would work. You can try it on a test material, before trying something like this ua-cam.com/video/_deI0em7m_0/v-deo.html
In Brazil we also call it plastichumbo. They used to be common in exposed installations. Nowadays these cables are hard to find and expensive. We use conduits embedded in the masonry and the norms have made other installation methods more difficult.
Thanks for your comment Alef.
👍👍👍. Thanks
And thanks to you for leaving a comment.
Thank you !
The technique for thinner sheets is spot on. For thicker sheets, a table saw is king for straight cuts and for 3mm - 1/8" and thicker curved pieces a band saw is an excellent tool.
Thanks for your suggestions David.
I bought a slide duplicator... But, also need this one for the Larger slides. Cheers! 🍻🍻🏝
Thanks for your comment Bubblerings.
my digital camera shows the green light showing its starting but theres no display and the lens doesnt come out could u help me please......
By what you say I believe the issue is a software or electric problem. If that is the case I can't help you, and you should take it to a camera service. If it tries to extend the lens barrel, but then jumps back, then it could be meeting some dirt between the barrels, closing it down. In this case my tips might help you.
Painful.....
I just use monster pipe dope for gas lines and never had a leak . Been using pipe dope on gas lines for 30 years
My camera's lens is left opened it is not closing.. how to fix it?
If your lens barrel extends but won't close most probably it has an electronic or software issue, in which case you should take it to a camera service. I can't help you with that. A stuck lens due to dust or other particles usually makes attemps to close or open but jumps back or can't complete the full extension or retraction.
Thankyou for your informative video. I am using 3mm plexiglass . My project is to fit a sheet of plexiglass into a window frame so I can divert hose from portable air conditioner through crank window. Just wanted to confirm ..did you just score the acrylic or score first then cut with the Stanley knife ? 🇦🇺
If I remember well Wendy, I said in the video that it's a good idea to start off slowly to ensure a straight path is clearly established before you go full in with the knife (thinner acrylic) or scoring tool (3 mm, not so thin acrylic). With any cutting tool on acrylics and glass, it's very easy to run off to a side and ruin the cut. Thanks for your comment.
@ thankyou very much 🇦🇺💕
Rod, you've been such a huge help! Thank you for your time and effort in helping solve a very frustrating issue. Godspeed, my man!
Lovely comment. Thanks Brooke.
Thank you so much for this video! Excellent!! Regrettably I've destroyed some self-adhesive stamps trying to remove them from the envelopes. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment Dave.

Thank you🙏
And thank you for leaving a comment.
Thanks! That was very useful.
Thanks for your comment FePeerReview.
I need to cut curves as opposed to straight lines, I have managed carefully with a jigsaw.
Thanks for your comment Awalk. No doubt curves, not circles, are a different challenge. Maybe a Dremel,, if you can afford one, is another option.
@@RODsDIY Thank you, good idea. I have a dremmel yes. Brilliant, thank you so much.
@@awalk5177 👍
As myself retired engineer & toolmaker , spent a lot time on metals but hardly use acrylic materials , now I can understand how to cut acrylic sheets using simple tools . Brilliant and I ve been doing well on perfect jobs , thank you for sharing valuables advice & tips . From UK
Thanks for your comment Alan.
Excellent tips! Thank you!
Thanks for your comment Jacko.
On the thicker material, I just use my Dremel tool with a rotary bit. Cuts clean with no chipping.
There are many miniature projects where a dremel is just perfect. Just a pity some accesories are so expensive, but I suppose they are worth every penny.
Dremels with diamond cutters are good for cutting thick acrylic too. If you've no angle grinder like me. Don't forget to protect your respiration tracts and eyes.
Yes, thanks for the reminder and for your comment.
Nice! I acquired a lifetime's supply (and the next) of 5mm acrylic sheets (about 40 1m x 3-4m and various offcuts) when the office I work at finally decided to take down all the covid 19 desk dividers. To save them from going into a skip, I carted them all back to my workshop in the back of my Mini over the course of a few weeks. I think they paid through the nose for them at the time (£40k or thereabout) & now I need to find ways to utilize them. I've made a large wood store with some of the 4m lengths and quite a few jigs and tools. I've been cutting the sheets with a track saw, mitre saw and table saw, which works pretty well but creates a lot of white 'sawdust' which is stringy and clogs up the tools & dust collection system, as it seems to set in clumps as it cools, making a kind of plastic birds nest! I'd not considered cutting it with an angle grinder, and while slower, it would be a lot less mess to deal with. Thanks!
Many thanks for your comment and I envy your fortune. There are many many things you can do with your collection either for your home, workshop, presents or for selling. I'm sure you'll find loads of ideas in Pinterest and UA-cam.
@@RODsDIY I thought I was going to have to fight to get one or two of the screens but in the end, bar a half dozen or so, I managed to snaffle up the lot, plus a few dozen thick aluminium joining plates and L brackets. Definitely some good fortune & I've probably got a lifetime supply of both if I use them on small & medium size projects & not as full sheets.
@@Rooster---ooo Oh, yes, they always come in handy. I'm always picking up from the street broken pieces or full panes off advertisement panels or bus stops, or TV screens. Very useful; your junk my fortune. 😂😂😂
@@RODsDIY Absolutely. People like us see the potential of this 'junk'. When you see the price to buy these materials new, it makes your eyes water :p I'm primarily a woodworker & find it difficult to pass a pallet. I keep a pallet breaker in my car for targets of opportunity. If only the local tip would let me loose on their skips. It hurts my soul to see what gets chucked out :(
@@Rooster---ooo "Targets of opportunity" is the perfect name. Driving around I have one eye on the holes in the road and the other on possible targets 😂😂😂, although nowadays I fall into more holes than opportunities 😂😂😂.
- Nice job!
Thanks for your comment Sentinel.
Thank you very much for this! I think your video was perfect.
Thanks for your comment Preludein.
great explanation and tip
Thanks for your comment StoutPrince.
Mmm, I wouldn't call those "precision cuts".
Thanks for leaving a comment Mucaro.
Wish i saw this vid 1 month ago. Exactly me mistake with the saw.
Thanks for leaving a comment Infatum.
Idea. Wish systems were even more integrated. The moment one buys a certain material in a shop, a vid would pop up in UA-cam in the suggested videos with a name - Don't be that 1000 idiot who broke the material. Would make people conscious.
Just the info I needed. Thank you Rod.
Thanks for your comment.
Old school UA-cam. Informative and knowledge based 👍 Perfect
Thanks for your comment Jetblackstar.
I used a wet tile saw because that's what I had. Worked great. I didn't notice any damage to the blade. Needed some cleaning up of half melted acrylic dust after.
Thanks for your comment Xehpuk. Nice how the melted acrylic just clicks off.
I have the problem.. I believe I'm going to pull the drill off and grind the top of the column.
Thanks for your comment David.
I use a fine blade on a table saw..Works great!
Thanks for your comment David.
Excellent, just what I needed to know.
Thanks for your comment Eric.
Richard Harris
Just don't call me horse, please. 😁
Excellent thank you. Trouble is I just cut mine before this came up on the recommendations ! Ah well. Next time. Mine ? 5 mm , used my mitre saw as fast and slow as I could. It was Ok but had to sand it back and took the edges off to.
How many teeth does your saw have? Somehow some people get away with power tools, either it's the teeth per inch or it's how they go along with the job.
@@RODsDIY Quite a few 60 or 80 can't remember which blade is on at the moment. Its new to only used it for about 15 to cuts of nice old larch hard but no knots. And it is a 2,000 watt motor so it spins much faster than my circular saw that is only 1,500 watts. I used the acrylic for windows in my new barn doors (small personal doors 1.5 m by 2m sort of...nothing is level nothing is square ...!) I just made.
Thanks@@ashleylaw
That's great but most of the time curved pieces need to be cut. Oh well.

Thanks for your comment @myzjed5576 👍
I have found using a multi-tool vibrating semi-circular cutter works well and I have not had any failures using this tool on various thicknesses of Acrylic sheeting.
Thanks for sharing.
Dude lose that bloody musac , we can hardly hear you talking . 🤮🤮👎👎👎👎
That takes care of the easy cuts. What about circles and weird shapes?? Tight corners, inside cuts, etc. etc.
For the circles I can offer you this: ua-cam.com/video/tYtYsgO3oLs/v-deo.html For weird shapes I imagine the only option is going little by little following the line with one of the tools I have mentioned. Maybe a cutting disc on a Dremel is a good option, although it's an expensive tool.
I am so proud of you gramps
Thanks for your comment Alaguapatos.
Excellent
