You’re welcome Sam; so glad you found it useful!

Ope! I just saw in your material list...at the dollar store.

thanks! yes, I think it was a Dollar Tree in Canada :)

You're welcome!

Thanks Julia! Hopefully you can make use of the technique in the future if you ever do more down pillows. The pillow and the form are 20" x 14" :). If you're a crocheter, the pattern is available on Ribblr (all proceeds are donated to Alzheimer's research): ribblr.com/pattern/kayla-pillow-tunisian

yes, I have a bad habit of calling it tin 🤦‍♀️

It’s pretty easy; you can find a template on our blog to make your own if you subscribe. The post with more info and subscribe form is here: birdzofafeather.ca/diy/how-to-cut-tin-cans/

thanks! sorry about the sound; my camera does that when it tries to re-focus.

I can’t speak for what Americans collect because I’m not American. This piece isn’t junk; it’s a valuable mid-century piece that many people covet and collect. It just needed to be de-odorized so now it’s good as new. We would rather see someone put it to good use again than send it to the landfill. We’re all about sustainability on this KZbin channel or we wouldn’t have anything to show 😉. If that isn’t your sensibility, I have to wonder how you found us and why you’re here?

@@BirdzofaFeather it’s old! What mid-cent?

It detects carbon monoxide.

🤣🤣🤣

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you like the video Chris! I've since put in a direct drive motor on my sewing machine so there isn't any noise at all. I don't think there's anything I can do with this video now, but I'll look into whether KZbin has any new features that will allow me to voiceover. In the meantime, you can turn off the sound completely and put on closed captioning instead.

Hi Janita - I would assume so but honestly don't know about the lighter colours since there aren't a lot of laser makers working with felt - and I don't own a diode so can't try it myself. I did see someone layering felt and cutting it so perhaps you could add a darker layer on top and it would cut through both? It might be worth trying if you have duplicate pieces, but would obviously be wasteful if you don't. If you do buy a diode and try it, please let me know! In the meantime, I'll ask around and let you know if I find out anything.

@@BirdzofaFeatherHey Sarah!! I just came back to your video… still wondering what lasercutter to buy. That was the reason i asked you about a diode. I would want to cut felt and sometimes i read of people who cut it and other times they say it doesn’t work at all. There seems to be workarounds like increasing the power or cut times. I would love to have a co2 but i really don’t have the money for it, diode is just much more achievable for me 😅 maybe im gonna try getting a flux beamo. The p2 is completely out of my range 😬. I thani you very much for your answer and your work is very beautiful!

@@janita851 Hey Janita - did you ever get a laser? xTool is having a mega black friday sale now, so perhaps there's something in your price range now? You can check it out here if you're still looking: xtool.pxf.io/Bn0kKx

you can find a similar one on Amazon: 3/4" Rabbit hole punch - amzn.to/3W6CyU0

Join the Xtool P1/P2 Official group and ask the group about that but also tag Jennifer Tian for further support.

Thanks Cindy ❤️! This particular one I saw a similar one on Pinterest but it was professionally made with a silver backing. I knew I could come up with something totally upcycled and DIY for anyone wanting to give it a go. I literally just tried it out and it worked. You just never know until you try!

Sorry, but I don’t own an android so don’t know. If you experiment and get it to work, please let us know :).

Yes, Deacon 30 is amazing and environmentally friendly too!

The inline fan moves a lot more air out the window and helps greatly with smell and fumes. Of course you can use the 3 in, but I don’t find that sufficient as far as indoor air quality goes. For indoor use, I really think the inline fan is a must for us.

Great, thank you!

Please see this video for a tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXiqd3RjZaaAadk

So glad it was helpful! The workbench is from Home Depot; you’ll find a link in the description. We also made a video on how to assemble it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmSTgH2fn5menrM

@@BirdzofaFeather I have the workbench already. It was an easy setup. I am looking for the table at the bottom of the workbench. I would like to put my inline fan and fire safety tool on it. Sorry for not being clear.

Do you mean the shelf? If so, we just cut a piece of wood and bought an extra cross bar. We talk about that on our assembly video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmSTgH2fn5menrM

@@BirdzofaFeather Thank you so much.

Glad it was helpful. You can get the Metal hole punch plier at Amazon. I updated the description with a link to the one I use if you’re interested in getting one: amzn.to/4fBCdBl

yes, always a good idea to scuff sand first :)

I used a rabbit punch similar to this one: amzn.to/3zXEWVJ. You can see it in action in our new video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXzanpWanKprZ6c

Perhaps, but it was too scratched to restore; the veneer is very thin. If I ever find another one in better shape, I'd restore the wood.

You’re welcome! It’s called a rabbit punch. Here’s a link to a similar one: 3/4" Rabbit hole punch - amzn.to/3W6CyU0

Thank you for you comments; tThis just made our day! :)

Thanks!

Did you buy through xTool? They did ask me to pack and return it. They arranged pickup and then sent me another unit once it was returned.

Glad it was helpful! Did you make sure that the gantry is absolutely parallel? Also, I find if I zoom in close when using the close view camera that I can position it better. If all else fails, join the xTool P1/P2 official group on Facebook and reach out to support (Jennifer Tian)

@@BirdzofaFeather thank you! I will do so... Gantry is parallel. Support will send me a new camera module. Hope that helps...

So glad to hear it was helpful! You must have a lot of cans if you're feeding four cats lol!

@@BirdzofaFeather I've been saving the peel back tops (with their tabs on) because they're compact and i imagine a wall of them shimmering in the wind, but yeah, sadly i trash sooo many cans.. trying to find something to make before saving boxes full.
