The bendy straw LED light defused is a brilliant application of 2 bits of scrap material, the straws, and the non-working flash light. A brilliant solution! In fact, the whole project is in the genius category, IMHO!
the foot part was unexpected.
It's an asian thing 😂
@@TechBuilder seems a bit dangerous! :)
lol its normal for asian ppl
Safety first!
😂😂😂😂
"Let's use an apple product to good use"
Damn🔥🔥🔥
Instantly sub'd and like due to that comment in the video
Elegant, simple. cheap and functional. Nice work!
😮
Fantastic idea, dude! Really well done!!!
Thank you for the video tutorial very well presented you explained everything so clearly. I really enjoyed watching , well done and thank you have a good weekend bye...😃
Great idea and great video. Other alternatives are much more expensive.
But the bare foot beside the saw was a bit shocking.
You are so creative and innovative and practical! Thank you for this. I will adapt your ideas for use with my mirror less camera.
I am floored by this!! definitely going to try this
Great little project! Here's a tip that can significantly increase the amount of light behind the slide: Simply place a piece of tinfoil behind the tubes to reflect all the light back, that went out of the tubes in the wrong direction and would otherwise just have been absorbed into the black bottom. Make sure it also covers the sides so that light can't escape that way either. You'll be amazed how much light you can actually get out of the leds that way. Anyways thanks for sharing. Great idea!
Great idea!
“its like a lightsaber” OMG I LOVE U 💜
Astig ka talaga! ❤️
Great idea for recycling old junk. Keep up the good work.👍🏻
A great video and well explained, thank you.
Brilliant! My father was a proponent of the hot glue gun and this McIver light box reminded me of him. I have a light source so will try to make the enclosure. Thank you!
Amazing! When he starts to cut the light diffuser, he whips out the clamp that looks like a foot!
Eu já imaginava como fazer, e você com o seu vídeo so reforçou a minha idéia.
Obrigado!

This definitely needs a kickstarter campaign.
You're absolutely right.
If you don’t have a diffuser, buy one!!
That’s really helpful thanks!
Thanks so much. It's a simple trick we can do
I love the bendy straw lights sir, it's more of the incandescent bulbs like you said.
Thanks for sharing
Welcome! Thanks too!
Excellent instructions!
Perfectly LIT.
I build sth. similar, using the cheapest flat LED ceiling light I could find in the hardware store and crafting a "stand" for my DSLR from a yoghurt cup (one of the larger ones.
But: the "lightstraw" idea is gold! I would have never thought of this!! Thanks man. You earned a sub with these straws.
I save that idea for the next time I need a small diffuse light source. You could even add adjustable blue and yellow LEDs to (sort of) adjust light temperature.
You are genius Dude,.
Usa: we use bench bise to cut something
Philippines:we use foot to cut something
That was a great video… I will probably make one soon. I have boxes of negatives that need printing!
Thanks… all the best man.
Love it. I'm making one. Thanks.
Great DIY project; here's another thumbs up in words!
Very informative and detailed tutorial. Big thumb to you! 👍👍
Brilliant! Thanks!
Nice job! I might have glued (or use double stick tape) a piece of reflective paper (any foil/Mylar lined jar liner might do) on the inside facing the LED light tubes side of the base foam-board to take advantage of as much of the light as possible.
Loved your idea.
Awesome , good idea 👍
Genius work!
This is awesome. But I can’t do all that. You should consider building and selling these. I’d buy one
Good video. A good how-to. Gonna make one to copy slides.
Thanks for video!
This is fantastic! I'd recommend not putting your thumb in the middle of the negative, the oils in your skin can leave a mark.
In the worst case mildew will grow there and destroy the layers
Cotton gloves are the way to go & they're super cheap on eBay.
TechBuilder, you have some great ideas!
I think I might just have to give this a try. It'd be Great to have those old slides taken at LeMans converted to photos I can share.
Superb video - thank you!
A very informative tutorial... youve inspired me to build one out of 1/4 inch MDF and tweak your rendition to accommodate my specifications I will now sub just because you've intrigued me Thx!
Génial! Je vais essayer tout de suite! Bravo! Félicitations!
This is so cool! I'm definitely going to try to make this! I have so much black foam core sitting around my house. Need to find me some plexy glass and LEDs tho
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! =D
GREAT work bro
excellent DIY!
Mil gracias , muy bueno tu invento.
Clever and useful. The key of inventive,
that such a cool project!
Very good! I like it.
great video, thumbs up!
Brilliant invention
Very nice unit!
Amazing idea. Love it bro
Very innovative solution!
I just got a roll of film back I didn't get scanned cause getting so many rolls developed was getting taxing so this is perfect!
Clever clever clever!!!!!!!
For such seriously prepared, good tutorial video, I wish you to have millions of subscribers!
I CONCUR; THIS IS AN EXCELLANTLY PREPARED AND PRESENTED TUTORIAL. KUDOS TO YOU , TECHBUILDER. A GREAT JOB
Wow, this young inventor has grown. Puberty period.
Astig!!! 😊🍻
It's a great video!
Nice one bro!! 💯 I like how you recycled some materials! 😁
Thanks Cal!!!
Good , very good!!!
GREAT work man !
Thanks!
AAA Amazing idea !
Straight from the "why the heck didn't I think of this" file...I've got a stack of 6x4.5 negs (and some positive films as well) sitting around that I'd really like to digitize but really can't justify the expense. I can so justify the expense of some foam board and translucent Plexi though!!
Very good !. Than you
excellent idea thanks
so satisfying to watch! cute nerdy guy, too! :-) :-) :-)
Highly creative
Very good.
That was impressive.
I'll have to adapt this idea to work with my personal View-Master reels, thanks!
You are great!
I'm probably Gona try build something similar to use with my actual mirrorless camera and then convert it in lightroom. This is pretty cool project
Thank you!
This is a good effort. I especially like your jigged foamcore construction techniques.
I've built a few phone scanners. You can get a good result, especially with a good even lighting source and the Kodak app, but even the best phones (as of September 2019) struggle to get resolution at macro distances compared to a scanner or a proper camera.
You will get results good enough for social media, but you won't make archival quality images or decent big prints.
i use the Canon Bellows attached to my a7iii, what lightning source you suggest to use as backlight?Thanks
scan them at high resolution with a scanner and use a colour printer to print them on a4 transparencies. :) then ... develop a really huge mobile phone... i dunno.. oO
@@parishna4882 Keep the goal in mind - if all you want to do is load up some old negs onto your cell phone to share, why make it any more complex?
If you want more resolution/color control, then a proper scanner is the way to go.
But there's no need to make it any more complex than it has to be.
@@dstone1701 Wait, what??? But I've almost finished building a really really big mobile phone now.... Oo
what smartphone do you use
Excellent video 😄👍 I greet you from Peru😄.Arigatogozaimasu
3:12 Nice Clamp, whatever works I guess, huh? good video btw!
show de bola! greetings from Brazil!
Great video ...can you please advise what negative storage box do you have?
Wow your tutorial is so usefull
This is a much better idea using bendy straws, spare leds and foam materials. Very much like it.
🤣 I love the idea,but the foot safety part felt like this was gonna turn into another kind of video. Thanks for the info. I’m gonna build one for 120 film.
Good one.
Awesome project, just what I've been looking for! Can't find the pdf link for the project though 🤔
Kuya ang galing galing mo 😁
Musta kabayan...
The box is a great idea. However, cheap LEDs have very low CRI (colour rendering Index). I think using an old phone with the screen on full brightness would be simpler and gives better white light.
Thank you
Very clever.
If only I would've seen this video about 15 years ago! My biological father, whom I am not in contact with anymore, had tons of negatives from my childhood that he didn't know what to do with. I always regret not taking them.
amazing！
Thank you for this video!
TechBuilder ?
so awesome
way cool !
Like it...you explained it so clearly. It's fun though.
Thank you!
C'est genial !
