  • What I would have given to have seen this video a month ago. My mother tasked me with making her a light house. Seeing you lay those sides side by side, taping them, then rolling them...I went through so much effort on mine. Makes me feel rather ign'ant.

  • @sh0rtbuskid Haha...nah I do the same thing and want to overcomplicate stuff. I always have to remind myself to figure out the simplest ways of doing things. And marvel at the sheer power of wood glue.

  • I liked the style of the video, it really didn't require a whole lot of explanation and I found it much more entertaining. One of these every once in a while is just your style and I think it's great. It's one of the reasons why I subscribed. Keep it up!

  • @BHGiant3 Thanks. I kinda figured the project was simple enough to understand without me yammering on about it.

  • Steve, another good one. Did you try different mesh screens? It sounded good, but I was surprised with the mesh being so much bigger than the stuff you used inside (rice?).

    Thanks for the videos,

  • @spilperson I used rice for the filler. I experimented a bit with 1/4" mesh, but the rice seems to want to clog up. I think I could have added even more baffles to slow down the trickling. But I was tired of cutting them out!

  • Man, im not even interested in wood working, but you give it a different perspective to me for some reason. Caught my eye with that cube in a cube project.
