I live in an apartment complex, so I'm able to get cardboard for free from the large recycle bin. I like using the large flat screen TV boxes because I think the grade of cardboard is better than the run-of-mill Amazon box; after all, the box has to protect the TV from getting damaged. I prefer to use hand tools to cut the cardboard. Even in my woodworking, I prefer hand tools for lots of reasons such as: using hand tools is relaxing, quieter, not as dusty, and often times cheaper. I have used a hand saw to cut a glued up stack of cardboard and that worked out pretty well. I prefer hand tools so much that I got rid of my table saw and sliding miter saw years ago. Cardboard is one of those materials that has tremendous possibilities limited only by your imagination. And if you are lucky like me, the material is free! That's pretty hard to beat. Good luck with your next project! Thanks for your comment and for watching.

I have never tried using a trim router with a flush cut bit to trim the surfacing cardboard; I usually just use a razor blade of some kind; as I explained in a different reply to you, these days, I prefer hand tools over power tools. I have used a type of cardboard called chip board to surface corrugated cardboard projects. Chip board is similar to cereal box cardboard. Chip board is very inexpensive and generally, I buy it from Amazon. There is a range of thicknesses available. I find that I can also sand chip board using 220 grit sandpaper (or finer). If I can find cereal boxes to use, that's even better (and free). Thanks for your comment and for watching. Good luck with your next project.

@@ImaginethenMake I think the way UA-cam works you probably won't know I replied, but I'll leave this here anyway. The veneer trimmer I was talking about is not a power tool like a router but rather a specialized (yet inexpensive) sharp-bladed hand tool thingy that you slide along the edge and trims the veneer flush with that edge. It works really well with veneer. It may or may not be as effective with chipboard because veneer is stiff and shears cleanly, whereas chipboard is weaker and might tear. But I'm certainly going to try it if the opportunity ever presents itself. Thanks for answering.

Interesting ideas. I'm also thinking about sealing the cardboard with something like shellac before applying the spackle. Maybe I'll try that and if I learn something interesting, I'll make a video about it. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

I used the only tool I had to get a relative measure of loudness. I admit I was not conducting a scientific experiment or an R&D project. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Interesting question. I don't really know a lot about sound, but I have spent some time trying to sound proof a portion of my garage; I discovered that it is not a trivial problem to solve. I learned that sound waves do not like to travel through materials that have a lot of mass. MDF certainly has a lot more mass than corrugated cardboard; in other words, it is a lot harder to get sound waves through MDF than it is corrugated cardboard. I think the statement, "cardboard cannot sustain bass" is probably very true. Why are you asking? Are you building speaker cabinets and considering making them from cardboard? Thanks for your question and for watching.

You're welcome. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Thanks for your comment and for watching. I still use the same zero clearance insert that I showed in the video.

@@ImaginethenMake I made it! it's working good so far. Thanks...

You're welcome. Happy scrolling!

Thanks for your comment and for watching. I tend to leave my mistakes in my videos hoping that others won't make the same one.

@@ImaginethenMake Said the excellent teacher. Still haven't had time but granddaughter is coming to visit soon and I'll share with her. Thanks again for keeping it real! Blessings, p

Thanks for your response. Enjoy your time with your granddaughter.

Thanks for your comment and for watching David. I tried hard to make the LibreCAD videos as easy to follow and learn from as I could. I'm glad to hear your liked them. Enjoy using LibreCAD and making your drawings. If you have any questions, just leave another comment on any of my LibreCAD videos. I check for new comments every few days and I reply to 99.999% of them. Yes, Blender is an amazing program with which someone can do a lot with. I have only scratched the surface in my Blender videos.

You're welcome. Good luck with the lemonade stand! Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Agreed. As I found out the hard way, I did not realize that there are metal wires in the bead. For those that want to know more, watch this ua-cam.com/video/PhOQFARy7c0/v-deo.htmlsi=uKQBV2dBPMIFV6Lv , Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Thanks for your question. Take another look at my video. Within the 1st minute, I show you who I bought my blade adaptors from. Here's a link to their website: www.pozsgaidesigns.com/page0006.htm . The Amazon link shows blade adaptors very similar to the one I bought. Some people prefer purchasing from Amazon because it is easy to do a return if you are not satisfied (FYI: you can do a free return to Amazon at your local Staples store.) Maybe I got lucky, but I have been very happy with the blade holders I bought. I originally bought them so I could try out using some spiral blades (which are pinless blades). Since installing them, I mostly use pinless blades now because there is a HUGE selection available. However, I still sometimes want to use a wide flat pinned blade so it is really nice to go back and forth between blade types; the switch over time is a couple minutes at most. I think it is worth noting that installing a flat blade is significantly different than installing a pinned blade. The pins in the pinned blade rest in the holder the same way every time. Since the flat blade doesn't have any pins it can be positioned in slightly different spots. A little practice and you'll come to know what I mean. Here's another video that demonstrates what I mean: ua-cam.com/video/phlTMNvvUXQ/v-deo.htmlsi=nCt2f81agTfBbS1F . Thanks again for your question and for watching.

Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Thanks for your comment and for watching. I think I understand what you mean; the chip board you saw me use was from a box used for food from the recycle bin - FREE. If you had the need and you wanted to spend the money, you can purchase much larger sheets (although in bulk) from here: www.uline.com/BL_1852/Chipboard-Pads?keywords=chipboard . I'm sure there are other places as well. (At my day job, the company buys a lot of this material to be used for packing, masking when painting, or protecting sensitive surfaces.) If you needed to cover a larger area with free chipboard, I would try tiling many smaller pieces. In the end, you might see the seams between the tiles so then perhaps you could use those visible seams to create some kind of interesting repeating pattern on your surface. Hope this helps!

@@ImaginethenMake thanks 🙏

Thanks for your comment and for watching. This was a fun video to do although using a flat blade for puzzle pieces is the way to go IMO. And using a flat blade requires practice!

As I discovered later on in other attempts to remove car tires from rims, the steel wires buried in the tire's bead make it very difficult to remove the bead using simple tools. I don't think a heat gun would help but thanks for the suggestion. Use this link to watch how I cut off a tire bead: ua-cam.com/video/KSQgte-e0T0/v-deo.htmlsi=wvkftH2KO4QC6LyF . Here are a few other attempts at removing car tires from rims: ua-cam.com/video/suYfkbVAKG0/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/K8uIcuQHOyI/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/PhOQFARy7c0/v-deo.html . Thanks for your comment and for watching.

You're welcome. I'm glad the video was helpful to you. I think the loudness of a power tool has to do with the kind of electric motor that the tool uses. The Universal motor with brushes is most likely the least expensive to manufacture but I find them to be pretty noisy. When I go to buy the next power tool, I'll likely look for one that uses a brushless motor; they should last longer and be somewhat quieter. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Thanks for the tip! I'll take another look at my knife. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Good question. I didn't wear test the pieces you see in this video. However, I can tell you that my wife still uses, everyday, the tablet stand that I made for her ( ua-cam.com/video/ULP35cypmH4/v-deo.htmlsi=-R8TK2J-GnTsVmdD ). Everyday, I still use the box I made for inside my dresser drawer ( ua-cam.com/video/W8A-KvtsOPs/v-deo.htmlsi=qXTbWeVAhSZ4BcyU ). Both of these projects were used to test some of my ideas about building with corrugated cardboard and chip board. I would say each project has been successful and has stood the test of time DESPITE not having any protective finish applied. I am encouraged to make more projects and when I do, I will probably make more videos so stay tuned! Thanks for your question and for watching.

I have not tried shellac probably because of the smell while working with it. When it gets warmer outside, I'll try some then. I bet it will work out great. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

It sounds like the video was helpful so that's great. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Ha-ha. I hope everyone can see in the video that adding the concrete blocks to the Workmate made it much more stable. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Just buy a small angle grinder!

Why?

You're welcome. Do you scroll? Thanks for your comment and for watching.

@@ImaginethenMake I had a scroll saw in the 90s. It was much different than the scroll saws t on day! I haven’t scrolled in 20+ years. I recently purchased a Seyco and am just getting started with it… trying to learn all over again.

I think the Seyco is an excellent machine from what I have seen of it online. I still use the $100 Harbor Freight saw (although I did replace the blade clamps). I think if I tried a more high machine, I would probably upgrade. Enjoy your re-learning. I think the scroll saw is a tremendously versatile and hugely underestimated machine. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Yes, others have said that as well. That feels awkward to me so I prefer adding the concrete blocks to make the Workmate more stable. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

You're welcome. I'm glad it was useful. Here's a link to my LibreCAD playlist in case you are interested: ua-cam.com/play/PLGCBwUeR2BD2ypYi5k0c4p6M52YO8Z-WD.html&si=VPJvl3obu_dZVqqD . Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Thanks for your comment and for watching.

I hear what you are saying. Different skills are needed for each machine. I've never broken a jigsaw blade, but I have broken a few scroll saw blades. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Sorry you feel that way. I can tell you I have used this as a crude workbench. A crude bench is better than no bench. Thanks for your comment just the same and for watching.

LOL. These rims were trash when I picked them up so I wanted to take the tires off (using the very crude tools on hand) and sell the rims at the scrapyard. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Agreed. Once the bead is broken, the rest is "easy". Thanks for your comment and for watching.

The challenge I gave myself was to figure out a way to safely cut these parts using a circular saw, not a table saw or bandsaw. (For woodworkers on a budget and short on workshop space, a circular saw is much cheaper and easier to store than a table saw or band saw.) Having said that, I am working on a simpler way to cut these parts using a circular saw - stay tuned. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Thanks and I just did. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Did you make one? Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Agreed, sticking a piece of plywood plus some heavy weights onto of the cardboard while the glue dried would probably increase the bond strength. Even so, I was surprised at how strong the cardboard sandwich was. I think the perpendicular approach helped to make it strong. I'll have to try this experiment again using long pieces of cardboard with the corrugations all running in the same direction. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

That's a great idea! I'll have to try that. Thanks. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

LOL. It was more about trying to cut it off myself to see if I could. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Agreed. Cutting the 2x4s would probably be easier using a bandsaw (instead of a circular saw). The best way to make the cuts would probably be by using a table saw. If you watch my videos, you might remember that I got rid of my table saws a while ago in favor of using a circular saw. That's what brought me to try and make these cuts using a circular saw. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Thanks for your comment and for watching. Cardboard is typically free and pretty fun to work with. I do have a playlist of other videos using cardboard. If you'd like to check that out, here it is: ua-cam.com/play/PLGCBwUeR2BD0SvqEJhwwjOR53E8DV6FVD.html&si=exdXdCPiYfAxSyFH .

Thank-you for your comment and for watching.

Great! I'm glad you liked it! What other kinds of scroll saw videos would help you? Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Maybe next time (if there is a next time) I'll try using the bottle jacks. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

I'm glad you didn't get hurt by that flying piece of wood! I too have had pieces of wood fly towards me from a table saw which was my primary inspiration for getting rid of it. The Bladerunner is definitely fun to use (although it is loud IMO). I have a playlist of Bladerunner videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PLGCBwUeR2BD2SPSsV51qPBkK8p1grR-UL.html&si=cf8bT5bUpZWCbiyG . If I want to make lots of cuts quickly, I try using a circular saw (I think it is safer). I use a battery powered model when possible or a corded model if I lots of cuts to make. Here's a playlist about using the circular saw: ua-cam.com/play/PLGCBwUeR2BD3Cpl2LJax9kvll9B-SDlau.html&si=eS5EEdRfFkL14ZQ6 . If I only have a few small cuts to make, I tend to use a hand saw; I prefer a Japanese style pull saw. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
