Auto news on Youtube Nov 26 2018

Here we are on the last episode of the ukulele bass build.

Of the previous video we built the neck and now it's time to connect it with the body

and work on the rest of the details.

I decided to add maple binding around the body and instead of buying a specialty router

bit for this, I bought a bigger ball bearing and adapted it to the original bearing from

a rabbeting bit I had.

This way I can create a 3mm rabbet around the entire body.

Installing binding is not something mandatory on an instrument but it makes it more resistant

to moisture since it covers the end grain from the tops.

It also gives some protection in case you bump the instrument on objects and of course,

makes it look nicer and more premium.

Here are the maple thin strips and I actually bought them because it would be incredibly

difficult for me to make them.

I bended the strips to continuously match the body contour.

The method I used to glue the binding was rather simple yet effective.

It consists on clamping it perfectly in place using masking tape and then drop CA glue to

joint the components together.

I snapped off the ends and used a chisel to fit them centered as best as I could.

I can now fill the spacings between the tape with thin super glue and wait a while to let

it fully set before removing all the blue tape.

It's a good idea to apply more glue along the entire seams and apply a clamp here and

there to help close any small visible gaps.

Now I can plane it flush and spend hours sanding it fully.

I

laid out the place for the machine heads and drilled the appropriately sized holes.

Remember that I scored the scale lines with my X-Carve 3D carving machine but after shaping

the fretboard curvature, the deepness was lost so I grabbed a super thin japanese saw

to score the lines a bit deeper.

Let's hear some variations on the playing and type of strings.

This is a piece of cow bone and will be shaped into a nut later.

But for now I need to make a recess for it to sit a bit bellow the surface.

Now it's time to make some basic inlay work using mother of pearl small dots that I also

bought and create a visual reference for the frets number 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th and

15.

Unfortunately the twelfth fret had the dots misaligned in the end but oh well.

I dropped a little low viscosity CA glue over them just to make sure they don't come off

in the future.

I did the same procedure to the tiny dots on the edge of the neck.

made some final preparation and hammered the fret wire in place.

Working from the edges to the center and hitting them with a mallet.

I

snapped off the ends and filed and sanded everything super smooth.

I drew the bridge on Adobe Illustrator and sent it over to CNCing it on the X-Carve.

First I used a 1/16th spiral bit to carve the saddle groove and swapped to a 1/8th straight

bit to carve the rest.

This machine was a very good companion during this project and I could actually have cut

many more things with it than what I did.

I could probably make 70 or 80% of this build using just a computer and the X-Carve if I

wanted, and if I was better with 3D drawing programs.

I wanted to make this wenge piece less bulky so I angled the ends.

Wenge is splits badly when chiseled so I ended up using a hand plane and a file.

This is a very hard wood and very splintery as well.

I need to make a saddle using another piece of bone.

You need to use a material that is super hard and durable since the strings will be rubbing

against it all

the time.

Now I need to position it accurately at 51, 75 cm from the nut.

I sanded the bridge over its final place with sandpaper on the top to create a better fit

in case any curvature is present on the top.

I can finally drill the holes for the strings to pop through.

After testing I can glue the bridge permanently in place and I used two dowels for alignment

and a few drops of super glue to have the pieces clamped quickly.

I made pressure with a hand inside the sound hole and another one pressing down the bridge.

Once it was secure, I did place a clamp just for good measure.

I installed the machine heads but since I added multiple layers to the head stock, it

became too thick and later I had to make recesses to fully secure the machine heads.

I then shaped the nut, trying to equally space the grooves for each string and installed

the pickup under the saddle.

I got a preamp and pickup ukulele kit as you can see on the second episode but truth is

that I ended up replacing only the pickup for a longer one.

This one here was too small for the distance I had between the strings and I could only

amplify effectively 3 of the 4 strings .

Anyway, I made space to insert the pre amp and applied lots of coats of a hard wax matt

finish.

I could peel off the tape and inspect everything closely.

The installation of the electronic components was pretty straight forward.

I saw this tip online to drive the endpin jack in place super easily and it worked really

well.

Nice…

I've been playing the bass all this time without the neck being glued to the body and

I'm finally doing that step.

So I have to remove all the strings, disattach the neck and glue it back together.

On the next day, I removed the clamps and applied the strings once again.

It takes some time until they hold up tuned and here you can hear again some diferences

on the sound connecting to the amp or not, being played with fingers or with a pick aaand

using the most tradicional ukulele bass rubber strings that, in my case, didn't work so

well.

I guess more time and practice is needed to getting used to their weird touch and different

playability.

Also they tend to be more difficult to hold the tune after being applied as they need

some time to stretch.

And here it is, done with the build and the episodes.

Thank you so much for sticking around during the entire process, it was very time consuming

and expensive as well.

I could would have spent the same amount just by purchasing a U-Bass from a music store

but still, totally worth it.

It was also a lot of fun!

A big shout out to Inventables for supporting this project and to all my patreon supporters

that really help me to release more content and crazy projects like these.

Thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next project!

Build Your Own Speakers- The Little British Monitor - Duration: 15:44.

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to build a pair of loudspeakers from a kit

I'm pretty excited about this because loudspeaker kits are one of those classic DIY projects

you hear old-timers in the hardware community talk about.

First off, lets talk about what kind of speakers we're making.

If you follow my Instagram: ReallySexyCyborg

you'll notice I never use any kind of filters or effects or anything.

Just color correction, and sometimes I have a burn or cuts on my hands from shop work, I edit that out

But imagine trying to do color correction on an image that already

had one of those goofy blurry filters applied- it would be really tough.

You want the most accurate representation of the image you are working on in order to make any corrections

even if that raw image doesn't look so pretty.

It's the same idea with audio

the audio we're used to hearing kind of has filters applied

exaggerated bass and stuff like that so games and movies go *thump thump thump*.

Most consumer audio equipment is designed to sound good to our ears

but good isn't the same as accurate

and if we are doing editing, we want accurate.

For that, you need what's called studio monitors. Very accurate sounding speakers.

From my reading this week

it seems the BBC kind of came up with a lot of the ideas surrounding studio monitors

so it's not surprising that many of the best monitors have come from the UK

and they're well known for them.

The Little British Monitor is a Kickstarter project to offer a nice, up to date studio monitor

in that tradition for a reasonable price.

It's created by an Audio Engineer by the name of Simon Ashton

and Simon was nice enough to send me a kit to build and review.

I've never built anything out of wood, or any audio equipment.

But fortunately it comes with really detailed instructions. So lets give it a go!

Oh, some candies, thank you.

Some foam.

Cables and more components.

I am just going to mark the wires and draw W for woofers

Now I am going to tape the other wires and mark it with a marker pen, T (tweeters).

Alright, here you go. Let's have a listen.

I know this is not the perfect listening setup.

As I know you will say it in the comment.

But this is what I've got. At least all the music is in lossless format.

Let's have a listen to my playlist.

I actually hate this song, but my mom used to play this song over and over again.

So I know this song very well, I know it is a good song for testing.

Okay, they sound great!

I know you can't tell though YouTube

but they have a really rich, full sound

and there's a lot of detail I've never heard before even in songs I know really well.

Still, I'll leave discussion of that up to audiophiles.

I just know what sounds good to me.

I have to say, a lot of kits I've seen out there don't really leave you with something useful, but this really is

I can use it whenever I edit video.

Aside from saving a bit of money it's quite a lot of fun and very satisfying.

Ok, I'm going to leave the link in the description box in case you want to get your own Little British Monitors.

Please like, subscribe, repost and tell your friends, until next time remember if I can do it, anyone can do it.

India, home of the worlds tallest statue, announces plan to build a taller one World news - Duration: 3:16.

India, home of the worlds tallest statue, announces plan to build a taller one World news

Uttar Pradesh will build a 221m-high effigy of the Hindu god Ram, dwarfing the current record-holder in Gujarat state

Uttar Pradesh will build a 221m-high effigy of the Hindu god Ram, dwarfing the current record-holder in Gujarat state

The Indian state of Uttar Pradesh says it will build the world's tallest statue, weeks after the current record holder – an 182-metre likeness of founding father Sardar Patel – was completed in another part of the country.

If constructed, the 221m-high effigy of the Hindu god Ram in the town of Ayodhya could make India home to the world's three tallest statues, with a 212-metre likeness of the medieval ruler Shivaji also currently under construction off the coast of Mumbai.

Plans for the bronze Ram statue were unveiled over the weekend, with five construction firms giving presentations to the the state's chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, a firebrand Hindu monk accused of instigating violence against's the state's Muslim minority.

Ayodhya has been considered a crucible for the Hindu nationalist movement since 1992, when thousands of adherents stormed a Mughal-era mosque in the town and demolished it, believing it was built at the site where Ram was born, and where an ancient Hindu temple had been torn down by earlier Muslim rulers.

The demolition triggered riots in which nearly 2,000 people died. Several senior officials from the ruling Bharatiya Janata party, including former government ministers and serving state governors, have been indicted for instigating the destruction of the mosque.

An estimated 50,000 Hindu nationalists rallied in Ayodhya on Sunday demanding prime minister Narendra Modi's party build a temple to Ram on the site.

"Do whatever it is you have to do," Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the far-right Shiv Sena group, said on Sunday. "A temple has to be built. This government is very powerful and if they don't build a temple they will not be in government."

Successive BJP governments have promised to build a Ram temple on the site but say they are unable to do so until the Indian supreme court rules on how the land should be used. The court will hold hearings on the issue next year.

The statue – along with a decision this month to rename the surrounding district from its Mughal-era name Faizabad to Ayodhya – are seen as efforts to temper the anger of rightwing Hindu groups at the continued delay in building the temple, despite the fact religious nationalists are in power nationally and in states across the country.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board, a group of Islamic leaders, said Sunday's rally in Ayodhya had "terrified" Muslims in the city. "The Muslims living in Ayodhya are terrified for the past week," the board's chief, Zafaryab Jilani, said. "We have also asked those feeling insecure to come to [the Uttar Pradesh capital] Lucknow if they want."

The cost of the statue is yet to be announced but is also likely to provoke criticism in a state with the country's highest levels of malnutrition, and where 325 children died in a single month last year when a government hospital was unable to afford to maintain oxygen supplies.

first of all you want to build a 17 by 14 rectangle made out of whatever

material you want I have used wall here as you can see it's best over the grass

next step you're going to need white black and gray concrete and also some

spruce planks the way you should lay them out is displayed on screen now

you now you're going to want to build up three more blocks on top of the ones

you've already made and leave spaces for the windows and the door which is

displayed in the image shown

to want to build up five however over on the right side you're going to want to

build out by one block this is displayed in the image shown and you also want to

leave the gaps for the windows

this image shows you what the interior should look like currently don't worry

if you've missed parts because now you can add them in in the correct spaces

this screenshot also shows you what the other side of the interior should look

like as well

now you're going to want to build the gray concrete blocks up by two

this screenshot shows you what the outside front of the modern house should

currently look like you may not have filled in the glass so you can do that

now

you can now fill in the roof and leave places for the glass blocks to go in as

displayed in the image you can do different patterns if you wish as well

and remember that the white concrete is two blocks lower than the gray concrete

is as displayed on the image

now you can fill in the second floor with oak planks you can use whatever

material you want however I would recommend this as it looks quite nice

you can fill in this area with whatever type of furniture you want or any chests

and other things like redstone
