Lead Ballast Tape Dispenser

[@dpmakestuff]

Enjoy this video? Fantastic! Do me a favour and follow me on Instagram - @dpmakestuff. I do giveaways and you get to see what I'm working on every day. Thank you!

[@ismaelmarques3299]

Since I wanted to have all this equipment, and have a brilliant mind to work with wood, I find it a very interesting job.

[@nexus01gr]

Alternative to melting metals. Small diameter lead bird shot (#10 or higher) mixed with 30 min epoxy works like a dream. Heat the mix up with a hot air gun and it's like pouring melted lead. No lead fumes, no smelting gear needed, the lead is encased in the epoxy and due to the small diameter of the bird shot, you can fill gaps (or weight pockets like in D.P.'s video) of down to 0.07 inches or even lower.

I don't know if I've just been under a rock or watching videos with my eyes closed, but the painters tape + glue & activator to hold down the piece for your CNC. . . Mind blown, nuff said. Awesome vid.

[@allenk8979]

Fantastic. This was one of the most fun video clips that I have ever seen on KZbin. I couldn't stop watching it. Thank you

[@VolpeInCalze]

Full auto tape despencer for the win! Pretty cool knowing you're not limited to just a 10 yard roll too!

[@gozergozerian3192]

i actually make tape dispensing machines for a living and in my professional opinion you did a great job here!

[@McNuts1000]

Hello, my daughter and I realized that we havent seen or heard from you in a long time. We just wanted to say we hope all is well.

[@PietroMaker]

Cool project Dustin !!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@jamespaul3622]

After watching an episode of yours, I always have that jazzy tune stuck in my head for days. Thank you!

[@kookyflukes9749]

Nice and heavy with that lead core. One handed operation. Well thought out design and implementation. Bet you're glad that brass melting point was too high now.

[@dpmakestuff]

kooky flukes yes sir!

[@Twin_Flyer]

A GREAT video, and the sound effects at the end while pulling the tape off the roll had be laughing out loud!! Now make me one! LOL

[@Every_Journey_has_a_Story]

Love the furnace, hot metal and open flames in the wood workshop.. :D

[@ISIMPLYBUILTIT]

Awesome! I think I have to build such a dispenser too.

[@hadler999]

Talent at woodworking, and talent at audio video editing. Really enjoyed your work!

[@Emancarrillo]

Rocking the Mars Yards and a callback with the Tom Sachs style editing at the end. Love it

[@dpmakestuff]

I'm happy people are picking up these things! Thanks very much!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Man, I love the way your mind thinks! Brilliant to cast the weights to go inside in such a seamless way. Great video, Dustin!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you sir!

[@RedHillian]

That is such a great looking dispenser! I saw it teased on insta, and have been waiting for the video eagerly - especially since the pic with the weight!

[@jimjohnson5787]

I can honestly say I've never been more excited about seeing a tape dispenser being made lol. Great job, as always.

[@dpmakestuff]

Jim Johnson thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@silvestrelottero]

Bless that tape dispenser. Bless Tom Sachs. cheers from Argentina dude. keep it up

[@brianewhiteguy]

The tape dispenser definitely doesn't suck. And neither did this video! Outstanding!!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Brian!

[@gkkent]

I didn’t think it was possible to love a tape dispenser....I stand corrected.

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

I love the build! Finally something that's not going to fall off the shop tables when you pull it! I might try this myself!

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Hahahaha the gun noises were hilarious, good stuff!

[@stuffsethmakes]

Aw man, I love this! Great little big project. Very creative! 👍🏻

[@DryLog420]

Man, I've gotta say, you're a pretty crafty guy! The idea was great and the end result was A+ Also, the clever uses for the painter's tape is great. This taught me more than I already knew. Perhaps you should make a video with many useful uses for painter's tape.

[@gladious7894]

Very nice. Absolutely great. I probably will use bb’s or something instead of melting lead. Very nice.

[@nexus01gr]

Small diameter lead bird shot (#10 or higher) mixed with 30 min epoxy works like a dream. Heat the mix up with a hot air gun and it's like pouring melted lead. On the plus side, no lead fumes, no smelting gear needed, the lead is encased in the epoxy and due to the small diameter of the bird shot, you can fill gaps (or weight pockets like in D.P.'s video) of down to 0.07 inches or even lower.

[@dawabbitt3079]

Loved the machine gun audio at the end of the video!

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Nice dispenser, I was thinking this would be a great addition to the shop for the painters tape when doing glue ups, think I'll try and make one of my own.....thanks for the inspiration!

[@TimPiggott]

I learned so many neat tricks! Genius! 👍🏻

[@williampeppers812]

Like the machine gun sounds effects at the end. Good job. I need 1 for the office.

[@coleve8596]

Absolutely brilliant, well thought out. Makes me want to get a cnc machine

[@millenialdaddy]

Your vids and work is the best!!! Always good comedy in your edit!!!

[@GiacoWhatever]

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY Like this!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

Giaco Whatever thanks brother! How is China?

[@kiger363]

I have to admit that I wasn't to thrilled to watch a tape dispenser build but SMOKES that was some HOT filming there. Way to make it entertaining! Bang bang.

[@greglopez9311]

Hey Dustin. I watched all your videos. Like the way you've evolved your style and especially like your FFwd, minimal dialog format. I've gotten lots of inspiration from you. Presently one of my projects is a small version of the drill press table (older benchtop drill press). Keep the ideas coming.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@DoomWalker42]

That is one classy tape dispenser!!

[@SlowandExpensive]

Nice one! A lot of cool features and a great video too!

[@andreww6738]

Great project ! Love all the video editing as well...very entertaining, even my wife was interested in what you were building and what all the interesting noises wer, so she watched. Excellent job. Thank you.

[@dpmakestuff]

Andrew W love hearing feedback like this! Thank you both very much!

[@furthernorthfab]

Next version should dispense Fruit By The Foot in the same way.

[@dpmakestuff]

Mortgage & Mitre that implies that I would save some of my fruit by the foot for later...

[@JermwoodMakes]

Love this! I need a good tape solution in my shop. Storage and dispensing.👍🏼😁

[@humbertorangel7523]

Oh man, you're a genius!

[@dpmakestuff]

HUMBERTO RANGEL carful! My heads big enough. Thanks!

[@Sascha_LB]

Greate design and a greate inspiration to pour lead into wood. Thanks for showing.

[@basitmahiskar8392]

Atlast the video is here.... u made me soo curious about this project by posting it many times on insta!!!!! for sure it is awesone n best tape dispenser ever seen ..as it is a DP project!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you!

[@Take_And_Make]

Wow! Sweet dispenser! Turned out pretty good man!

[@marcomolo]

I didn't think I needed to make myself a tape dispenser, until now

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Anything worth doing is worth over doing! Love it!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@afonsohenrique5216]

More vídeos, pleaasseee!!! The best Chanel everr

[@SouthpawDavey]

Nice I need a row with say 3 and another row with 3 for the the inch tape. I have cnc envy too. Lol Great video ;-) Dave

I love this little song from the beginning and end of the video, it's very cool 😁😁👍

[@stun9771]

Hey, that’s pretty neat....like it, I think it’s added to my project list....and CNC to my Christmas List....for perhaps 2022...I’ll have to save up...😔

[@dalebob895]

My favourite woodworking youtuber is at it again great job

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Dale!

[@SecretPesch]

Thank you Dustin ! Love your videos !

[@Traderjoe]

Holy crap! Freaking awesome! I have a super heavy duty one that pairs the packing tape with a regular scotch tape dispenser in the same heavy unit that I bought. But yours is way nicer! One thing about mine is, it’s kind of rounded over on all the corners and has a little Art Deco kind of look to it in black. Not unlike a 1950’s radio

[@Collin326C]

what happened to this channel? i didnt even realize i was missing it until a year later

[@49cfr]

So so so so cool, I love this one. I've been meaning to make a tape dispenser for some time; maybe this inspiration will finally stick.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Good job! Dustin! Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP

[@cardsfanbj]

Pretty cool. Could probably use bbs instead of melting down the lead, unless you just wanted to use up scrap lead from other things.

[@lslozmint385]

Gezz you your talented, love watching your clips not only are they amazing, there so relaxing to watch

[@WackyShackTexas]

Top notch project and video, well done!

[@davidpisani2560]

Love it. There are no good tape dispensers out there.

[@jonwills4670]

Love your editing style! 👊🏻

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Jon!

[@BanjoShow]

Thank you Dustin!

[@dpmakestuff]

Banjo Show Thank you for watching!

[@rickpalechuk4411]

Nice design, you could even use shot for the weight. Cheers

[@muddyfences5559]

Awesome. You better put a lock on the hasp, to deter thieves.

[@vincentferrari]

Over-engineered and, by extension, AWESOME. I love it, man!

[@billblake6954]

Great fun - love the design process. Would using lead shot be a feasible approach - much like shot used in a dead drop hammer? Would like to see how using the x-carve to engrave your ID disc would turn out. Great result.

[@dpmakestuff]

Totally! I go into detail in the description why I cast the lead but shot, sand and steel BBs would work a treat!

[@mcjiprock]

I really like your video style!

[@rainbowbudgies1129]

Very clever design. Thanks

[@jamieparnell8160]

That's great 👍🏽 you got another subscriber 👍🏽😬👍🏽

[@Nightxp]

damn nice stuff, my first time ever watching a video by this channel and loved it, to the point showed us all of the worked without any boring wait times. Consider me SUBSCRIBED!

[@dpmakestuff]

kai Longshaw I waste nobodies time but my own! Thanks very much.

[@NathanSafran]

Dude!! You MADE a tape dispenser!! Only thing is, I feel like it needed a cool paint job to match the coolness of it. Maybe bright orange with a racing stripe down the middle?

[@dpmakestuff]

I could have painted the outsides white but the plywood looked to good to me at the time! Thanks!

[@markdmaker3173]

Nice video awesome build, I just subscribed.

[@boutellejb]

Really nice! Great tape dispenser, with nice machine gun sounds. Suggestion - skip casting the lead. Instead put it together, drill a hole in the bottom and fill it with bird shot. Mix some epoxy into the last bit of shot that fills the hole to seal the rest in.

[@dpmakestuff]

boutellejb thanks. I explain my actions in the video description. That’s a great idea, but it wouldn’t work with what I had on hand.

[@Rouverius]

First 30 seconds = my life with packing tape. Great concept!

[@ArielYahni]

Yeah looks like mine but much much better, great job!!!

[@jonasneumann5915]

German saying: Dont shoot at sparrows with cannons. Well, I enjoy overkill. I enjoy well thought out solutions with maximum effort for simple problems. I will now be able to justify the purchase of a CNC router to make a tape dispenser. Nice projekt.

[@Kiana.Da.Editor.3701]

Unnecessarily LIT but great DIY tape dispenser tho... *Pootispenser here!*

[@MCsCreations]

😮 Are there any plans available? I need to make one!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

Let me do some refining to the design and then I'll release plans!

[@MCsCreations]

@@dpmakestuff Awesome! 😃 And, BTW... You got another subscriber here! 😊

[@topgunhobbes]

How did you do the temp glue to the Inventables router base? Using the blue painter tape?

[@davidpisani2560]

I may try this on my Glowforge. Any chance you will make plans or pdf of the shapes available ?

[@xmarcovinzx]

Hey Dustin! Long time since your last upload, is everything OK?

[@RhettRO55]

YES!!! THIS IS WHY I GET UP OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING!!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

RhettRO55 this helps to make two days of editing and tweaking worth it! Thanks!

[@RhettRO55]

Thank you sir! I have about 5 people that i actively get upload notifications on. You are one of them :-D

[@heyimamaker]

Nice one, Love the latch on the side. My wife deals with those crappy red things. I just might have to make her one without the X Carve or lead.

[@woodstoney]

Nicely done! Hope that one 'sticks' with you for a while!! ;)

[@AllesohneKabel]

Schönes Video, super gebaut!

[@Brownstone31]

I'm a little late watching this one but great job. I may have to make one for my shipping dept at work.

[@dpmakestuff]

The A.D.D Maker thanks very much! It’s a fun challenge to build a good dispenser

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Such a cool idea!

[@FishersShop]

That thing is legal in Canada?? Nice job, Dustin... love it.

[@punishedprops]

Dude, FANTASTIC video. =D

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much! This means a lot coming from you!

[@Topo42mh]

Always love me some Canadian Frank Howarth.

[@dpmakestuff]

I've heard Metric Diresta before but never Canadian Frank! High praise either way. Thank you!

[@nshimala]

Great idea! Well done

[@wwscott7595]

Just in time for Christmas. STICK IT TOO EM young man.

[@brunopasculli293]

You are fantastic!😍😍😍👏👏👏👏

[@jbb5470]

Very cool Dustin!

[@StuffUCanMake]

Awesome design!!

[@tomlagatol4448]

Cool “tape dispenser thing ie” ......Enjoyed the vid...Thanks

[@GTL77]

That’s so cool nicely done dude 🤜🏽 and I follow you on Instagram!

[@shophacks]

Love the design, Dustin. Great video production too. Just curious why you didn't v-engrave the brass tag vs. stamping it?

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you! I love the human touch that stamping gives a precise, machine made object like this. I dash of human imperfection!

[@vyronvirus]

Such a nice project brother

[@Airn5475]

What? No padlock? Lol nicely done. I share your HATE of bad tape dispensers...which is most of them.
