    Nice project. You won't be disappointed with Mountain tree products. Been using them for 2 years now, absolutely love everything they do.

      Lau its nice stuff but a little hard to get it hear in the UK. I will do it justice with a lovey box made for it that forces the water to pass over it getting the best out of it. Happy ponding

    Very interesting Martyn. I bought a plastic welder some time ago but haven't used it yet. The PP is expensive and buying it just to practice seems a bit extravagant. If anyone has some scrap they don't want give me a shout and we can maybe do a deal. Your next video will be good as well. I like watching filter builds.

    • @boxtriker
      @boxtriker  3 роки тому

      Like wise with the welder mate i have had it for some time but only playing with it in that time and on white plastic so the welds look burnt as thats even harder the black is more forgiving so we will see what happens will start welding it up this weekend. video on it in a week or two. happy ponding

    Hi Martyn great delivery to get that is supposed to be real good media , your lucky the school have some good tools that you can use , I have never plastic welded but I have seen some of my guys in work do plastic repairs on bumper or grille brackets it’s one of those jobs that looks easier than it is .

      been trying to catch up on stuff on youtube mate but the laser cutting takes up my spare time weekends now and a hour or two after work each day i don't get time to sit down 5 Am most mornings I'm drawing stuff to cut on it. You should look at getting a small md 40w cutter for your modelling the baby one will cut 12 inch's by 8 inch's and can be had for around the £300 mark it loves cutting that foam board try Vevor as a seller they are good people to deal with and its little money for what you get. link hear that might show or might not. vevor.co.uk/products/40w-co2-usb-laser-engraving-cutting-machine-engraver-cutter-wood-working-crafts?gclid=CjwKCAiArOqOBhBmEiwAsgeLmaIQcIqz8wm6k3kteGw37PoabJrjM99WyIIn3MugLqTX_3RCl2CVkhoCZ-kQAvD_BwE
