Early Access Video: Spiked Mace on the Wood Lathe
Added 2019-06-02 17:35:23 +0000 UTCHoo-Boy!
This one was a handful. The project was challenging, the filming was tricky, and the edit was...painful. But I really think it came out in the end.
Many of you have praised me for a minimal video style, and I'm glad that you like it. But once in a while, I'm going to stretch out a little bit. Especially with the shiny new toys I've just gotten. So the film-making on this one might be just a bit more polished than you've seen before.
Whether you like it or you don't, I always want to hear from my Patrons. So don't hold back in the comments.
Enjoy the last of your weekend!

Yup, it dries faster, fills gaps better and is stronger for dissimilar materials, like different species of wood. (This last point is dubious, but the chemical, rather than evaporative, drying of epoxy meant that I could spray finish while the glue was still tacky and it worked out fine.)

2019-06-10 10:27:58 +0000 UTCNOPE! It is not durable at all. I wouldn't want to even drop it.

2019-06-10 10:24:57 +0000 UTCThat turned out pretty sweet! Any plans for a durability test video?

2019-06-05 03:35:55 +0000 UTCWhy do you use epoxy for gluing your wood rather than wood glue?

2019-06-05 03:27:09 +0000 UTCHere's a challenging historic weapon. Build a B-52! You might need to work outside .

2019-06-04 21:19:11 +0000 UTCNow THAT is something I never even thought of. Interesting...

2019-06-03 11:02:08 +0000 UTCA shield is nice idea too

2019-06-03 05:40:10 +0000 UTCEvery warrior needs a shield. Does that count as a historic weapon? Great work on the mace, it looks awesome!

2019-06-02 20:55:16 +0000 UTCWill do!

2019-06-02 20:38:48 +0000 UTCIt's not the Polish flag (although I forget which one it is). I'm going alphabetically and I'm not up to P yet. Maybe this week?
Rex Krueger
2019-06-02 20:38:39 +0000 UTCI hear you on the auto-focus, but it is convenient when I need to be fast. This camera has much better access to manual settings, so I'll get deeper into that as I have time.
Rex Krueger
2019-06-02 20:38:00 +0000 UTCThanks! I do want to keep branching out.
Rex Krueger
2019-06-02 20:37:16 +0000 UTCUm, I do like Devo. Making that dome out of wood...I'm going to need to think about that.
Rex Krueger
2019-06-02 20:36:58 +0000 UTCThat would have been fun, but I do not put that much thought into things!
Rex Krueger
2019-06-02 20:36:05 +0000 UTCCool video! You can add Switzerland in the flag board!
Benoit Holliger
2019-06-02 19:37:05 +0000 UTCHey, Rex! Could it be that you have Polish flag upside down on your board? :)))
Pawel Gotlib
2019-06-02 19:29:16 +0000 UTCFirst of all, the "end product" is excellent! a sword will be great too!. As for your new toys the quality is very nice, but i think the auto-focus is a trap. Thumbs up for the wall with the flags, its a nice touch.
Kostas Karanatsis
2019-06-02 18:40:53 +0000 UTCI thought the video was good. The subject was great. I think you should never get into a rut where you are doing the same thing every week. Variety is the spice of life! Keep up with what you are doing!
Jim Williams
2019-06-02 18:25:51 +0000 UTCThat's really cool. It doesn't quite fit, but what about your take on a Devo Energy Dome?
Jessica McIntosh
2019-06-02 18:18:25 +0000 UTCI liked it. Especially the problem solving part with the drill press and laying out the centre lines, it's useful to see the thought process behind that. Also fun to see the flag board suddenly jump to more. It would have been a great easter egg to have it increase by one flag every scene change
