Making a DIY beach sunshade is easy, and you may already have all the materials. All you need are some long tent poles (20-25ft), fabric (a beach blanket or bed sheet works if you don't want to sew anything), fabric tape, some strong string, lower poles from a beach umbrella (preferably one that was destined for the trash) and a waterproof dry bag. Watch the video to see how easy it is. The only tool I used was a pair of scissors. I have some improvements planned to allow the

The RAZOR DXT pedal drift trike is an inexpensive entry into the world of drifting awesomeness. There are a few simple upgrades that make it perform so much better, and solve all the common complaints I see in reviews. STEP 1. Upgrade the Cheap Plastic Wheels to Pneumatic Rubber Tires with Aluminum Rims The stock plastic wheels are the worst part of the trike. They are SO LOUD, super hard (don't absorb vibration and shock), they don't drift that well, and they wear out fast a

- PART 1 - I’m going to show you the easiest way to make the best helping hands that you can’t buy. For all of my past life, I’ve put up with using the terrible helping hands that I’m certain you’ve also been tortured with. I tried the flex arm solutions that are a little better, but still not great. These super simple helping hands made using off-the-shelf parts are amazing. I can’t believe that I didn’t do this sooner. I use a mini dial indicator arm with a magnetic base an

Splatrball SRB400 (and SRB1200) have weak plastic gears that can strip easily. If Splat-R-ball Gel Blaster is making a high-pitched whining noise, the plastic gears are stripped and need to be replaced. They must be replaced with all-metal gears for extra durability. Splatrball guns have a gearbox that is very similar to airsoft V3 gearbox. In this video, I show how to upgrade the Splatrball gearbox to all-metal gears with a stronger spring. The main purpose of this upgrade i

I recently bought a 2005 HAAS TM-1 that didn't have an umbrella tool changer. Fortunately, it had the machined mounting area at the top of the column for the tool changer arm. Unfortunately, HAAS won't sell you a tool changer for an open machine, even if you intend to close it. They will sell you the support arm though, so if you can find a used tool changer from a TM-1 or Mini Mill, then you can add it to your TM-1. ▼ WHERE TO BUY PARTS ▶ Tool Changer - From HAAS if your mac

Playing at night with Splatrball gel blasters is fun, but it's even better when you can see where your shots are going. You can buy glow-in-the-dark gel balls, but they must be illuminated with a light source. UV LEDs are the most effective illumination source to charge the gel balls. Tracer units that attach onto the ends of the barrels are available, but they are expensive and have their own battery, which is one more thing to charge. The cheapest way to add a tracer mod is

I unbox the Splat-R-Ball blaster and give an initial review. The Splat-R-Ball blaster is a modified WELLS G36c blaster. The external cosmetics are changed a little, but the gearbox and internals are almost exactly the same. Therefore, replacement parts or upgrades available for the WELLS G36c will also work with the SplatRball blaster. Watch the unboxing and overview video: Check out the new video: What's Inside the Splat-R-Ball blaster. I take it apart to learn how it's made

I couldn't find a handheld plasma cutting table with water table for sparks and slag, so I built my own. This video covers the design, material and the steps to build your own. The Handheld CNC Plasma Cutter Video is COMING SOON, Subscribe and stay tuned. The hand plasma cutter table was the first thing I needed to build to be able to use the handheld CNC plasma cutter. ▼ MATERIALS: - 2X Aluminum 80/20 Extrusion (Long Side Rails), 1x2x36in: https://www.mcmaster.com/47065T107

The Y Ballscrew Cover on the Haas TM-1 was damaged. Only the rear one needed replacement in my case, but that is the more difficult one to replace, because the Haas instructions say to remove the ballscrew and servo motor. Watch this video to see how I was able to change it without all the extra work of removing the ball screw. REAR BALL SCREW COVER I decided to just purchase the correct kit sold by HAAS, because it wasn't that much more, and I knew that it would be a perfect
