True. Sometimes the process of jamming stuff together without regard for convention can lead to stuff that actually works. Often the conventions have good reasons, but other times, other solutions work equally well or even better. I really like these tool tips videos for that reason.
Right-on with the inexperience is the gateway to innovation. If you don't have all the baggage that comes along with experience, new ideas can pop up. Something like that. My brother-in-law is currently in Malaysia with his fam.
Agree completely... While I did comment on your video about the tile and talked about the affordability of grade B surface plates I did go have a look at the 24inch square tiles in my local home store. Cause I wasn't sure, "how flat is it?" After bluing the plate and setting the tile down scrubbing around slightly... It's flat enough and for $18 still 1/3rd the cost of a grade B with very comparable flatness on everything but the very edges. While also being bigger!
Nice! The machinists are always trying to get the upper hand on precision, but sometimes can’t see good enough from up on their high horse. The tile has other advantages that a surface plate lacks, thinness to clamp onto or not raise the effective height of your workbench, light weight to be portable, inexpensive to use multiples of or to replace. If you want to check the flatness without a surface plate, you can try 3 tiles and do the A=B, B=C, A=C comparison. Which you might even be able to do at the store if they aren’t busy!
At work I have the old guys tell me all the time that something just won't work. And because I'm new I'm like.... Hmmm press x to doubt. 4 out of 5 times I make something work even though the "experienced" guys told me that it was impossible.
IMO, dont even entertain the attention seekers. Everyone has a different scope of knowledge, best thing to strive for rightness is to expand the scope of knowledge. Love your lightheartedness with your videos.
If you consider that not many discoveries are made in academia, compared to rogue scientists, you'll see the pattern developing :) Great job bro, keep up the great content.
Metrology is the art of "good enough" for the part you're working on. Flat is relative to the tolerances you are working with. At a certain point you start dealing with raised cost of production for a very minute improvement in a accuracy. For $1.99 /sq ft your not beating the accuracy per significant digit of flatness.
The advent of 3D printers and good, free 3D modeling software has led to a huge wave of "innovations" like this. Creatives with limited tools and hardware will figure out the wildest workarounds to conventions they didn't even know existed. Usually they're just less polished versions of an existing solution, but there have been a shocking amount of ideas with unparalleled value / utility that trace back to some amateur hobbyist with a problem to solve.
I don't understand what the tile had to do with inexperience or what the flatness had to do with anything or what the rebar had to do with anything..this video was a bit incoherent

Thanks for passing on the info the first time, and for passing on what you learned since then.
Greetings from Malaysia.
Innovative new ways to learn why we have conventions.
I'm teasing! Love your stuff.

Be who you seek to be: one moment, one breath, one step at a time.
100% agree!

now i need to learn about the grades you mentioned 😊

People suck. I like your videos and find them helpful.

Next goal: to earn the title of rogue scientist 😊
Can you cut the fiberglass outside? How often do you cut it and how much?

MALAYSIA MENTIONED!!! WTF IS A UNFLAT TILE🔥🔥🔥

Love your attitude bud just becareful with heat on that stay salty 4 ever a student
Yeah cutting fiberglass with a grinder is a horrible idea
