it's the workshop vlog coming up more presentation boxes I go on the scrounge
the small makers group it's Lego me
stand these up to his antics the sticker wall and workshop snacking hello and
welcome to this edition sorry about the longer than normal gap between vlogs
life does get in the way so this vlog is going to be a little longer than normal
if you want to skip anything you're not interested in there is a timetable in
the description below I have been inundated with requests for the
presentation box after the pen box in the last edition I didn't think there
would have been so much interest but as a lot of you of us for it here is the
tutorial these boxes have a square base and can be made with any width to height
ratio you require and they're quite strong and sturdy when made from a
hundred and sixty gram card the design is attributed to the origami artist
Tomoko Foose a and a design similar to this appears in one of her books simple
origami boxes because of the logical structure and simple technique it's
quite possible this method may have been discovered by others I've been making
these boxes myself for years so if we want to calculate the size of the box
this is how we do it with a rectangle of paper
I need the width of the paper to be twice the width over the base of the box
and the height of the paper needs to be the width of the box plus
the height of the box plus the height of the box so we need
four pieces for the base of the box I'm using two different colors pure blue and
a pale green so let's get started the first fold is straight in half along the
longest way and it is very important to have extremely sharp creases so I'm
using my technical device again called a stick just to make sure those creases
are ultra ultra sharp open out the paper and the first fold is always in the
bottom right hand side right hand corner when the crease is vertical and this
bottom right hand corner will fold up so it runs right along the crease that
you've just made do take your time to get this right
if you want you can stand one side of the paper up to form a little crease
there and then press that down
so it's always that bottom right-hand corner the top of the pepper now will
fold down it's always easier to fold away from you rather than towards you so
I've just swiveled the paper around and I'm folding the top of the paper down
but not right to the triangle I'm leaving a little gap probably about a
millimeter or so and just make sure you straight here that the entries match up
before you press you down the reason for this gap will become clear later on when
we start to put the box together but it will also help us for this next step
this side of the paper will now fold up so again I'll just swivel around so I'm
folding away from myself and we need to make sure that we fold in that gap there
and that also eats straight along this edge
and then I'll open that one out so the crease that we've made it goes through
the little gap that we had before that is nearly 8 the last fold is to put a
crease from this middle point here to the outside corner here and the easiest
way to do that is to fold this single edge up to this single edge like this
and I'm going to concentrate on getting a nice point there holding that in and
then swiveling up the paper like so but I only want to crease it up to that
crease line here and that needs to be a really good hard crease and then if we
pull this section down the box will stand up and we can pinch this corner to
make sure it's nice and straight this edge and this edge and that is one
segment one quarter of your box made we just need to make deal the three we've
now got the corners of the boxes arranged how they're going to go
together there are a few things that you can take note of which will help and
that is the piece of paper in the left hand always goes inside the right hand
the wall of the box and this triangular base of the box so this side the left
always goes inside the right so the wall of the box
and the base of the box but we only put it halfway
we don't go any further yes if we did we wouldn't be able to get the last one in
I'll put those on to the left-hand side bring my next piece in and again left
hand always goes inside right hand like this so the wall of the box and the base
of the box just halfway these points in the bottom look a little bit erratic
that doesn't matter we sort that out later okay so the last corner and again
left hand always goes in right hand like so and then finally piece number four
goes into piece number one left inside right just halfway so as I say before it
looks a bit of a mess down there but don't worry about that now we very
carefully turn everything over and we can arrange these points by pushing down
so every point goes under every other point and then we'd slowly squeeze it
all together this is quite a tall box so it's a little bit difficult so I'm just
gonna push each one a little bit at a time making sure it all goes in nice and
evenly if he starts to go off a little bit it's going to make it awkward to
push together so if I do this side a little bit
and on this side I just keep going you can always just tap them in a little bit
but they won't go completely into the corners because obviously you've got the
thickness of the paper now before when I mention we left that gap between the
triangle on the top of the paper this is where it comes in handy because that gap
is right in the corners right in the corners of the box is down here if we
push the paper down like that this base of the box will get trapped in that gap
and that stops it from coming out that is your box
so let's calculate the size that we need now for the lid so the width of the box
has to be the same so it was 8t width that's a width and the height of the
paper has to be the width plus the height plus the height so that one
obviously is 80 now the height I'm going to calculate it always looks nice if you
have about a third things divided into three so I'm going to go for about 35
millimeters so that's the height of the lid so this is 35 and 35 so what we've
got is not quite a square we've got a hundred and sixty this way and a hundred
and fifty this way so it's quite important that we fold it the right way
if we have the pay for this way around and start folding it's not going to fit
so we have to make sure that we are the right way around when we start folding
so this is the width of the box plus the width of the box and this way is the
width of the box plus the height plus the height so I've got to keep it this
way around it's very easy to accidentally fold them the wrong way
around so what I'm going to do is with all four of these pieces is put that
first crease in now while I've got the paper all the same way around and then I
won't make the mistake of getting hold of it the wrong way
messing everything up it is so easy to do so crease is vertical bottom
right-hand corner Falls up to the crease line and the top
edge of the paper falls down we always fold it away from ourselves and we leave
that little gap but a millimeter saw just check you straight
rusty pound crease it in and then I can fold that one this way using the gap as
a guide checking it straight whoops there we go
open that out so we've got our single layer of paper and this is where we put
the last days no crease from the midpoint through the outer edge just the
same as before the folding is exactly the same it's
just the size of the paper that's different stand this one up
pinch everything in and there we go so that's one corner just as we did with
the box the left-hand side always goes inside the right both the wall of the
box and the base of the box just halfway
left inside right
I'm left inside right and then finally the last one left inside right just
halfway like so doesn't matter about the points yet we're going to reorganize the
holes now when we squeeze this together we want it to be just the right size to
fit on the box so let's put it on the box that also gives us some space to
push the points in and then we can squeeze it together
very gently um because it's on the box it squeezes down to the perfect size for
the box just one word of caution if you're going to use four colors you have
to think about how they're going to go together
when these two colors we know just to put them opposite but with four colors
we've got to think about it because we want them to match if I flip
the lid through hundred-and-eight see all the colors will not job but these
look really nice this way around so the colors are
opposite so how would you make sure that you get these colors the same as these
well this is how he's done I need to know which order these are going to go
together and the easiest thing to do is use the base of the box as a guide but
because the lid flips over it's actually upside down to this box so if I turn
this upside down I can use these as a guide so I want green and yellow
and then blue and then red so that is the order that the lid has to go
together in so that everything lines up
or not as the case may be
Les Paul's who want to make a very wide but shallow box it's a hundred and fifty
millimeters square but only thirty five millimeters tall so let's work that out
so it's 150 150 and the width this way 150 so the height is 35 135 so the
following sequence is exactly the same it's just the size of the paper that
gives us a different size of unit and they're put together in exactly the same
way well I'm sure a lot of makers will find that useful do let me know if you
have a go and send me an image or to contact details are in the description
as usual in my studio I have a color laser printer which is about twelve
years old I keep it going by scrounging parts from
other dead printers of the same model that have been scrapped by local
businesses I'm planning an automaton build in the new year and decided to
completely strip down one of these donor machines to see if there were any parts
that may prove useful
the problem we're taking things apart that were not designed to come apart is
getting them apart basically if you see a screw you undo it if it still won't
come off
you hit it Oh screw I'm looking for bearings gears drive shafts anything
really that may come in handy so what did I find
plastic lots of plastic unmarked and unknown probably ABS I wanted gears and
there were gears but all helical the teeth cuts at an angle
my project will be a Heath Robinson affair so no way can I use any of these
they're probably made from MC nylon so I can't even melt them down and cast them
into blanks like I come with HDPE there were lots of screws probably the only
parts in this machine that came off the shelf and weren't designed specially a
generous assortment of springs there was also a lot of metal they don't build
them like this anymore everything apart from these circuit boards can go in my
home recycling bins but I'll have to take these to the recycling center so my
haul was pretty small two solenoids I'll keep them as spares a couple of
press-fit bearings two useable Drive shafts
and I'll save some of the springs just in case they may come in handy
and also I'll keep a small amount of this sheet metal I can use this for
fabricating brackets are making mounts so not a totally fruitless event Jim
well not much from another venture I'm afraid but I was amazed to see just how
much of that printer could be recycled and saved from landfill so I may do the
same with the others in the future a bunch of us here on YouTube have come
together to form a Facebook group know why here you say neither nor the
Facebook group please but this is different
all of us have small workshops and I mean small less than a hundred and fifty
square feet a smaller than you car garage I thought my workshop was small
at eight foot by six foot but others are building projects in spaces even smaller
now a lack of space is an issue in itself and you have to be resourceful in
order to make it work but when you add the fight that you're a YouTube content
maker working in a small space can prove difficult because not only are you
limited for room to start with you also have added equipment such as cameras
tripods sound equipment additional lighting sometimes you need to open the
door just to breathe I mean I'm sitting here now or when it looks all comfy-cozy
but I'm actually sat on a portable tool box and just take a look at what I'm
looking at filming these vlogs turns my little workshop into a film set and I've
so much to remember that I have to use an also cue to get through it all the
small workshop YouTube makers group has become a valuable resource for help and
sharing of knowledge and ideas it's made our work so much easier it's a closed
group for obvious reasons but if you have a
small space and you're a YouTube maker do consider joining and sharing your
experiences it doesn't matter what medium it is you could work in was metal
or plastic or pepper paint cake decorating knitting we're all amateurs
and we do this for the love of it so there's no reason to feel intimidated as
usual I'll leave all the details in the description if you want to investigate
further there's still the Christmas special to come that's in a couple of
weeks and we'll see if Stanley the clown finally manages to escape
please do take the time to support your artists and makers if you're not able to
purchase their work to support them financially you can always share tweet
and spread the word social Reach is everything for all struggling artists
and please don't just like and leave if you take the time to comment it means
the world to us and it shows you took the time to appreciate our work and it
doesn't cost you a penny your feedback encourages us to continue in the face of
adversity many of us try to entertain you better than the carp on television
oh I might have to bleep out yeah you know what I mean anyways apologies are
in order for some of you waiting for your 8x6 stickers I have been inundated
with requests and I've just been struggling to keep up the last batch has
just gone out and I don't think I've missed anybody out it's been so manic if
you've asked for one and you haven't got it yet
and your name is not on the screen now then I do apologize for missing you out
do get in touch again and I'll get it sorted I've had some more stickers
dropped through the letterbox recently they saw let's have a look and see
what's on the sticker wall keith saunders of asgard woodturning will
tackle anything woodturning would work in resin casting scroll sawing he may be
a newcomer to youtube but his subscriber count is clicking up nicely if you
haven't heard of make itself yet you must have been living under a rock she's
taken a small maker seen by stone and has recently been a guest on the
maker's international podcast she makes incredible things from the
simplest of materials so do check out her channel I am super excited to
receive a sticker from Michael zurka a Turner maker and an artist I drop
everything when I get a notification he's published a video he's an
inspiration to me new to woodworking on YouTube Phil cannons channel is growing
Andy demonstrates a wide range of projects he's recently been
experimenting with live feeds on his Facebook page
I do give a shout-out for anyone who sends in a sticker so keep them coming
now Sophie Lewis who we've just seen has sent me this she's been making some Lego
caricatures and she sent me this little guy he's fantastic
he's even got Stanley the clump so thanks very much for that self he's too
excellent to stay in the workshop and get dusty and dirty so he's going to
live in the studio where it's always nice and warm now contact details are in
the description if you'd like to do a sticker exchange or you'd like one of
mine for your wall that's about it for this time but if you've been following
the antics of Andy Berkey with these table saw tackles and Al's hack Shack
with his hack Shack jalapenos making snacks in the workshop is becoming
popular so I decided to finish this edition by seeing what healthy options I
could come up with so until next time jobs are Gooden for the homeless you'll
need a large pan you'll see why soon some chickpeas tahini dark or light
makes no difference splash of lemon juice bit of garlic and
a pinch of salt we're going to wheeze it all
just nice I want my picture bred slightly tall steed
it's not essential to do this but it is fun
now we're going to use some sharp tools so do stay safe you can use any solid
ingredients you like to fill your pizza I like mine crunchy so I'm using some
radish salary and some sugar snap peas
organic tomatoes have more flavor
do make sure your ski was sharp if you want a clean cut you have to make sure
your lettuce is secure you don't want it moving and binding on the blade
apply liberal coating of homemade hummus
spoon in your prepared salad and seal with the lettuce
a handful of mixed nuts and you have six of your five a day
hmm you can't beat workshop prepared food but make sure you clean up after
you don't want to attract any mice
preparation is quick but the washing or bath detects ages
you
