DAMN 1980s ANIMATION, U IN MY SCHOOL VIDEOS, YOU IN OLD MOVIES NOW U IN MY YOUTUBE

[ishouldplayzelda]

NEVER push hard. i've ruined so many cuts by being an impatient fuck and cutting harder than i should have been. let the weight of the saw with very slight pressure do the cutting

[JoelMcL1]

slight pause when he was introducing the hacksaw, was that for suspense or did you forget what it was?

[CrystalyneCrisis]

Its 2012 sort out your quality!

[tijuanamarisol666]

what?? NOBODY tunes to concert A, it's concert Bb

[commanderdragos]

@tijuanamarisol666 Wrong. That concert Bb is tuned relative to 440Hz concert A. Thus, you are essentially tuning to Concert A.

[tijuanamarisol666]

@commanderdragos Concert Bb IS tuned relative to A440, but they are not the same: concert Bb is a half-step higher in pitch than concert A. Also, if you transpose into Bb maj, you'll find that tuning to A would make the instrument flat, because A is the 3rd note in the order of flats: since you're already in a key with 2 flats (concert Bb,) than A is naturally the flattest note, as it tries to resolve to Ab (which would then bring you into concert Eb, and then D would be your flat note, etc.)

[Wickwick8]

the song at the beginning is the franz joseph hyden trumpet concerto lol im 12

[SavageBeastism]

kipkay is awesomer

[CJSBMXMX4518FL]

i dont like you

[Retr0StatioN]

This guy reminds me of Bre Pettis

[o0oRESHIRAMo0o]

.... i subscribed to makemagazine cuz i thought it was kipkays other channel XD (weekend projects, the ones by kipkay on this channel).

[komanoise]

concert a is not the pitch that all musicians tune their intruments to.

[phmiii]

A mill is much easer than a saw,

[kjm5448]

a false fact: "Concert A is the pitch that all musicians tune their instruments to." musicians tune to a couple of different notes, mainly Bb concert and A concert. percussionists tune their snare drums to, depending on size of the drum, Ab concert, F concert or something else for different circumstances.

[kentabenno]

@kjm5448 furthermore, a lot of orchestras use a 442 hz A nowadays, while some ensembles playing baroque and renaissance type of music use 438 hz As or even lower pitches as a reference tone. And not to mention all the non-western kinds of music, where they use completely different tonal systems.

[stainsr]

this is not collin!

[JoTheVeteran]

Wow! Lots of dislikes. But why in this video, i don't get it?

Did the sound the tunning fork makes annoyed you guys or something?

[BloKK187]

@JoTheVeteran no

reason1: not collin

reason2:boring stuff showed

reason3:way too short video

[JoTheVeteran]

@BloKK187 Colin who? Colin Cunningham?

And you know it's not all that borring when you have an out of tune piano, and you know how to use one of those things.

[BloKK187]

@JoTheVeteran Littlebit... :)

but why should the piano go out of tune.. sure when some dumbasses try to Play DUBSTEP on it..

I dont have a Piano.. Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaannnnnnoooooooo !!!!!

[JoTheVeteran]

@BloKK187 Well, pianos get out of tune by age too you know, it's a strings kinda thingy.

[BloKK187]

@JoTheVeteran thx for the knowledge about Pianos :)

[cristian3131]

Hm...no demo of the thing ? :(

[xSimmsStudiosx]

my high school band tunes to concert f

[mcsdaver]

A band saw would cut it out faster!!! :D

[kiwifrogg]

Make editor, you need to make a video, directed at all the Kip Kay lovers, explaining why he left, that he has his own channel now and if they don't like this situation simply stop watching. One guy below says when kipkay left I stopped watching the videos, how does he know if a video is good or not if he stopped watching Them. Make is just fine with out Kip Kay, Colin, the dutch robot guy and Matt are fare superior. Keep up the good work, More of it would be nice, Do a story on "The Geek Group"

[Spoif]

@kiwifrogg Frits Lyneborg (The robot guy) has apparently left makemagazine as well. He also has his own YouTube channel, along with the letsmakerobots website. Unfortunately though he doesn't seem to upload stuff very often to YouTube.

I don't know what it is of late with Make, but it seems to be going down hill from a YouTube perspective in my opinion. There seems to be a definite shift in bias towards advertising other make material / events as opposed to actually making things.

[CorbyStarletCj1]

@kiwifrogg I second the idea for a story on "The Geek Group"  :)

[CampKohler]

What would happen if the two tines, while, say, having been filed to EXACTLY the same pitch by trimming the length as needed, were not the same width, i.e. you have cut one tine wider than the other? Likewise, if instead of using a sheet of metal, you cut the fork from a block of metal, what would be the effect of the two tines not being the same thickness?

What would happen if you, one at a time, clamped the ends of the tines in a vise and twisted them into two identical spirals?

[Remco96Remco]

good video it is very intresting

KIPKAY HAD TO CAME BACK

(or upload more video's on his one channel)

[defect530]

Files and hack saws only cut one way.

[popiy80]

I tone my tuba to B flat so not all musician tone to A.

Take that!

[DOSphantom]

@popiy80 Is this transposed assuming A4 is still 440hz, or do you literally use a different reference pitch?

Though the statement that all musicians tune A4 to 440 is still false and a bit over generalizing of modern western music.

[freesk8]

@popiy80 I'll bet you march to the beat of your own drum as well! :)

[TheMACcar]

Great channel. Why would people complain about people showing you how they thought of a way to make cool things cheaply?

[armegeddon11]

Why does this have so many dislikes? I actually thought it was interesting to see how easy it was to make one of those while learning a little history about it. You people need to calm down :3

[turbotonic27]

in my opinion make magazine is getting worse without kipkay,since they sopped uploading kipkay i stopped watching their videos

[ImmoSci]

@gunhimdown gotta agree, it is an ugly tuning fork, and in the 17th century, they made them from steel (like a proper tuning fork from a tuning fork factory today)

[craigkarenmathew]

6 and 1/8th whats, is that metric

[gadgetwhore2]

kipkay should loan him a dremel

[welly706]

step 1. draw it

step 2. cut it out

step 3. facepalm

[robgoral]

Research: solfeggio harmonics

[brainlicker1]

whoo hoo time to make me a sonic death beam!!!!

[FrostyBrewMusic]

One vital piece of info missing. HOW THICK?

[mts0628]

Ok, did you know how to make a tuning fork before this video? You do now. Quit complaining. Admittedly, I like Collin the best but Make isn't Collin Cunningham and he isn't Make. This was an interesting project, thank you.

[ranthoron]

Well, most orchestras with mixed instruments (strings and woodwind at least) tune at 443Hz - to accomody the woodwind...

[kondzioo29]

where is real makemagasine who is showing people how to make amazing stuff?

[gunhimdown]

that's the uglyst thing iv seen come out of make mag.. did they even have aluminium in the 17th century?

[MrROTD]

Your dial phone on your phone is also A 440, you can tune a guitar using only a phone.

[MrROTD]

@MrROTD Dial tone

[FrostyBrewMusic]

@MrROTD That's not entirely acurate. You end up approximately 9% sharp. Dail tone is based on multiples of the 60Hz cycle of AC power (United states) which ends up at 480Hz

[CampKohler]

@MrROTD Dial tone (at least in the U.S.) consists of two tones, only one of which is 440. What do you do, mentally tune out the other one?

[pikuorguk]

Hearing it work and seeing how to cut out the middle bit would have been better.

[trailkeeper]

I heard the dial tone on a phone is like a F note or something.

[mike82y]

omg that noise...

[ingkiller]

come on, im finaly free from school, and i get this...

[BiggAndyy]

This channel should be called CommercialMagazine instead of Makemagazine...

[onlywhenprovoked]

wiki says : "Although commercial tuning forks are normally tuned to the correct pitch at the factory, they can be retuned by filing material off the prongs. Filing the ends of the prongs raises the pitch, while filing the inside of the base of the prongs lowers it."

And why is Make SO bad at providing links to the featured guest speakers? Do they think we're going to watch less Make if we subscribe to other channels? Come on, guys. Links. Names. SOMEthing.

[makemagazine]

@onlywhenprovoked There are links and names all up in this video, and in the description!

[onlywhenprovoked]

@makemagazine thank you.

[123Cory321]

@onlywhenprovoked it also says there are such things as tree octopuss

[onlywhenprovoked]

@123Cory321 Actually, it says "The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus is an internet hoax created in 1998 by Lyle Zapato.[1]"

Nice try, liar.

[123Cory321]

@onlywhenprovoked lol fuck off. i was pointing out how much wikipedia sucks

[onlywhenprovoked]

@123Cory321 And I was pointing out your lie, and your blatant fail of an example.

[123Cory321]

@onlywhenprovoked hw did i lie? wtf?

[onlywhenprovoked]

@123Cory321 You claimed wiki has bad info. Your one and only example was that they claim Tree Octo is real. They do no such thing. They explain that it's fake.

You lied about the info on wikipedia in order to back up your claim that they have bad info. So, you're doing exactly what you claim they're doing, and they're not.

This makes you a liar. And not a very good one, either.

[123Cory321]

@onlywhenprovoked whatever. id rather use a real website were the pages cant be edited by random people

[onlywhenprovoked]

@123Cory321 You're still full of shit.

Wiki can't be edited by random people. Try it, sometime. You will fail like you have failed, here. You have to prove yourself before you can touch anything important and it has to be verified before they remove all the "this article has not been verified" and "this article needs more sources" banners at the top that lets idiots like you that can't bother to check the sources themselves, that the sources have not been backed up.

Define "Real website."

[bearpatch626]

so what if i wanted middle c? how do i make that?



[xX31173Xx]

kinda mad, wanted to hear it :|

[onlywhenprovoked]

I'm confused as to why this material and these measurements cause a perfect 440 A. If I file 2mm too much off one corner, is it still true? Why / why not?

Well, off to google to learn something I should have learned long ago. Thanks for the video.

[agentc0re]

you use the electric drill... how?

[IzzySpeaks]

Replace the damn saw blade!!! Cheap bugger

[MikaelTheJoker]

1st



[45plop1]

@xXPARALYZAXx i used to be first like you, but then i got a life.

[xXPARALYZAXx]

@45plop1 I used to have a life... then I took an arrow to the knee

[DrDissent]

@45plop1 You were never first.

[45plop1]

@DrDissent i havent mention being first on this video shithead.

[DrDissent]

@45plop1 shithead? Are you mad bro? I hear a whole lot of ass-hurt in that response. If you try harder maybe next time you'll be first and then we wont have to listen to you crying like a little bitch in the comments.

[45plop1]

@DrDissent Youre just shitting me? aren't you? YOU reply's me from the beginning.

[DrDissent]

@45plop1 No Im not shitting you. Rage more buddy.
