EPOXY WATERFALL RIVER TABLEWorkshopWoodworking by fixthisbuildthatFollo
In this Instructable I'll show you how to make an Epoxy Waterfall River Table. It was my first time using epoxy and my first time welding, so I had a lot of fun with this one. Hope you enjoy the project!

Can we blow off these PEX fittings? Sharkbite vs Viega vs Uponor478,201 views
https://youtu.be/fT2ftQ_ab-w Matt Risinger Published on 🎄 Dec 25, 2018
I was wondering the other day how much pressure a PEX fitting might withstand before it pops off, so I had Jordan make me a test rig! In this video we are testing Sharkbite Push To Connect fittings, Viega fittings, Uponor fittings, and two types of crimped Sharkbite PEX fittings with a rig that goes up to 14,000 psi! The results sure surprised us. Enjoy this special Christmas edition of The Build Show!

Agelbert NOTE: I believe my home water lines are PEX A. I just want to say they are GREAT pipes 👍. My pipes froze one January here in Vermont and they did not burst or leak after they were thawed by a service that did the job the next day. That was over 4 years ago. We still have no leaks. My Manufactured Home is now 19 years old. 8) I have crimp fittings but if I ever have to raplace or modify my pipes, I will use Sharkbite fittings because they are HUGE time savers.

DIY Microwave Kiln | Fuse Glass in Your Microwave https://youtu.be/rAIyLWEKt8U By ShakeTheFuture in Metalworking
SNIPPET:
In this Instructable, we'll look into way to make a microwave kiln.
For those who don't know what is a microwave kiln, here is a quick introduction.
Microwave kiln is a kiln that you can put in your regular microwave oven.
It does not use a wire heating element or gas to heat up. Microwave kiln is covered with silicon carbide.
Silicon carbide absorbs microwaves and turns them into heat.
Microwave kilns are usually used to fuse glass.
You can turn broken glass into amazing jewelry.
There is so much more that you can do with microwave kilns.
I use a microwave kiln to burn out Wax or Pla from plaster molds. It works very good.
You can also melt metals, but more on that in another Instructable, since there is much better way to do it by using the same principle.
Supplies:
► Sodium Silicate ► Silicon Carbide ► Ceramic Fiber Blanket/Kaowool ► Scale ► Mist Spray Bottle ► Sugru ► Blow torch ► Plaster of Paris or Any other Plaster
Step 1: Making a Plaster Ring

Is Duct Tape Actually Used for Sealing Air Ducts? William Shakespeare's Juliet famously asked, "What's in a name?" to argue that it doesn't matter what you call something: It is what it is. But Juliet never had to repair air-conditioning vents. If she had, she might have learned what a scientific study found out over 20 years ago: Duct tape doesn't work on ducts.
In fact, according to the results of the testing done at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, of the 33 types of sealants tested on the leaky joints on a wall of joined ducts, duct tape was the only one that "failed reliably and often quite catastrophically." ;D
The study included numerous varieties of duct tape, as well as materials such as injected aerosol sealants and plain old clear tape. Although duct tape came in last for sealing leaking ducts, it remains a popular tool for a huge range of other uses, from sealing bags and removing lint to killing warts and constructing your own wallet. :D
The tale of the duct tape:
► Duct tape was developed by Johnson & Johnson as a way to better seal ammunition packages and repair equipment during World War II.
► Duct tape is sometimes called "duck tape" because of its ability to repel moisture, just like the feathers on a 🦆 duck's back.
► The amount of duct tape sold every year could stretch beyond the 🌚 moon or wrap around the 🌎 Earth more than a dozen times.
