Did You Know There's Plexiglass Inside Your Computer Monitor? DYK-#1

Did You Know There's Plexiglass Inside Your Computer?
I'm testing a new tips and tricks format. Let me know if you like it in the comments.
In the episode I show that there are a few useable materials inside old flat screen computer monitors. You can find a plexiglass like plastic and some other diffuser sheets. It's worth opening them up before you send them to the recyclers.

+Stamatis Thanks!

I would watch more of them Then again I watch all your videos anyway

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@WorksbySolo]

I like this format idea. You might consider adding a little brainstorming session in there too. For example, what you might use those old TV parts for. The phone stand is a good one!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks Bernie! Brainstorming might be good.

[@Geregori]

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for the input!

[@TheWoodYogi]

Great stuff, I try to salvage as much from old electronics as possible :) More 'Did you know' videos like this are needed. I would love to see projects using the salvaged items as you mentioned for photography etc. Thank you for sharing this :)

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for the input and for watching!

[@pennavecreations3752]

Pretty cool stuff. I didn't not know and thanks for sharing.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@brandtAU]

Great video, There is a lot of stuff out there that your don't think would constrain useful stuff.
Always like seeing videos of people making the most of what would ahve been thrown away.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Yup, agreed. Thanks for watching!

[@jw9415]

Very cool! Look forward to the next installment of “DYK”.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@datadev1]

Cool video! Thanks for sharing. I love upcycling.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for watching!

[@EricEllenbrook]

Just wanted to chime in and say that this is the most useful video I've come across in a while. I've taken apart two monitors I've found in the trash and gotten the plexiglass out of them. One was about 1/4" thick and the other was 3/8". That's saved me a ton of money! I'm making a lamp out of one of them right now. Thanks so much for this awesome tip (and hopefully series)

[@Makebuildmodify]

+Eric Ellenbrook Thanks for the feedback Eric! That's great to hear!

[@CrownMountainWoodworks]

Pretty cool. Keep these coming.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for the input!

[@CNTHINGS]

Being someone who follows the motto "reuse, recycle" I dig these videos keep em' coming!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Good idea, the monitor and the series.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Cool! Thanks for watching Andrew.

[@jerryhalstead7106]

Absolutely do the did you know series this kind of info is hard to find these days and reminds me of the old do it yourself magazines thet sears use to print

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Very interesting! Iwould love to see more!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thank you!

[@davestrain1762]

More, for sure! We have tear down days at the Makerspace and it's amazing how much good material and components can be recovered from items like these.
Keep up the good work Justin!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Yup, all sorts of good material to be had. Thanks Dave!

[@TheOomgosh]

That's great! Yes, more please.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for the input!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@deletedaccount5250]

I like it it's always good to know what to do with stuff you have around and make use of it, so maybe a follow up on what to do with that plexiglass. Thank you

[@Makebuildmodify]

Cool! Thanks!

[@johnediger5667]

Yes! I'm a great fan of alternate uses or use other than designed for

[@rookiewoodshop]

Knowledge is power. The more we know, the better we are. I learned something from this video. Teach us more. 😎

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

I didn't know that, so more videos telling me stuff I didn't know would be awesome.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@bayonasdesign]

It's always good to know this kind of things for a very low budget guy like me. ;)

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@dogwoodtales]

Good information to know.
Keep up these videos and keep them as short as the project allows. I liked that this one was to the point and not some drawn out time lapse of non-value adding footage.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for the input!

[@artemisrumbinger4012]

Great video!!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@TheBeardedWoodworker]

Yes, I like the idea! Now I'm gonna search for a broken down flat screen tv and build me some camera lighting. Thanks!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Good idea!

[@Jonanthebeebarian1]

Excellent video... gotta keep my eyes out for dead flat-screens now! I could use those diffusers for a project I am working on right now and EVERYONE loves to have a nice sheet of plexiglas in the shop. The 'DID YOU KNOW' idea is a great one... Perfect for suggestions from your subscribers... everyone who makes stuff has one or two of these in their back pocket.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks! Asking my subscribers for suggestions is a great idea.

[@bobdickweed]

Keep them coming man...its good to learn..;-p

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@grindfi]

Love it, i want more

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@Ozzyjunky]

More of these videos please.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Ok, thanks!

[@RoborobsComputers]

Even being in the IT field I find things like this interesting. It is amazing what you can find when you are willing to go look for it.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Agreed. Thanks for watching!

[@InfiniteCraftsman]

Good stuff!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@Flyingmikey62]

[@TheRspct2all]

Recycling I didn't know, nice

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewprince6157]

Yeah I think that would be great! I can't tell you how many times I've watched a tear down or a build video where I went, " I didn't think of that but that solves the issue I've been having."

[@Makebuildmodify]

Thanks!

[@zohranbloedjes9770]
