Steampunk DIY Phone Case - Copper and Brass

[@WhiteDragon689]

Looks good but you have just encased your phone in a Faraday Cage. Signal strength should be dismal.

[@ImpactDIY]

I live in a big city, I do not have problems with the signal. I just wanted to make a steampunk case that I can wear :).

[@Steve.Vaught]

Wouldn't that mean you also block the radiation from the phone.

[@ImpactDIY]

It would be great :).

[@timetravellingblockhead2122]

Phones emit “NON-ioninzing radiation”, which is a harmless kind of radiation. It doesn’t “cause Cancer”.

[@Steve.Vaught]

Fahad Saud sure

[@deniselisboa1]

Wow this case fulfills my steampunk dreams... I love it

[@Truyen-hay]

Awesome Phone case

[@rebeccagreen2219]

Well done it it amazing. You r so clever, truly beautiful. Thank you for showing us

[@alexvideosAR]

Admiro tu talento y tu creatividad es una verdadera obra de arte, es increible. Felicitaciones!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@thegearmeister]

This is amazing! I wish I had the right materials to create this masterpiece myself!

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you! It is not an easy project :) but if you need help please ask :).

[@ImpactDIY]

@ i recover them from old clocks. But be careful if you want to disassemble one or more, it may be dangerous because the spring inside it has a lot of power. Search online how to do it. Maybe i will make a video about how to do it safely.

[@orginyigam732]

I hope you get good reception in that metal container.. 👍

[@ImpactDIY]

I talked on the phone while using it and it was ok. Maybe i will make a short video about this :)

[@wolfcraftRomania]

Ne place ce faci. Felicitari!!

[@Professorvapes]

lovely job

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you! :)

[@barbarianatgate2000]

This is an absolutely gorgeous build! But, I have to think that it's a bit cumbersome unless you're popping the phone in and out of it frequently? If you don't have a bluetooth device connected, it seems it would be difficult to talk on the phone, and you've just doubled the width of the piece for any other use. Again, I think the build result is beautiful, and pure art. I just have to wonder about the practicality of it?

[@ImpactDIY]

I can be used as any phone case, it is not big, the phone is big :) it is a note 8. The only problem is the weight, it has 400 grams without the phone. Every time I use it it creates a Wow! effect :)

[@castironlady1720]

That’s what I call talent and lots of patience!

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you !! :)

[@canrooster4003]

Truly amazing work. I don't understand why someone would even think this is deserving of a thumbs-down. Geez... so well done! Does anyone know what that spray is that he used to darkened the copper and brass? Many thanks!

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you ! I made another one, the V2 :). You can see it in my last video. What do you think about it?

[@irisvegan818]

it's really fantastic! You have a real talent and a lot of patience! I'm fascinated by so much beauty and inventiveness! Well done ! I would have liked to do such beautiful things. Do you sell your achievements?

[@ImpactDIY]

Hello and thank you! You can do this also, all you need is patience and some tools. I will sell all of them and donate the money, the first hospital for children with cancer is built in my country by a foundation and I want to help this way.

[@irisvegan818]

@@ImpactDIY I don't have the tools and a little paralysis in the hands make the precise work difficult for me. You have a great imagination, a lot of talent and a big heart! These are small gestures like yours that make things happen. Thank you, just thank you :)

[@alinesousa4367]

Que incrível resultado. Amei sua dedicação, ficou lindo! Você faz para venda?

[@giovannipanarello]

very awesome!But lead and tin used to weld at the begin, are not toxic?

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you :). All lead and tin is toxic, if used in a ventilated area there is no problem

[@dollycombiscoito3884]

It just looked amazing! I loved the work you did in this case. I need one of these for my xiaomi redmi note 7, because I love the steampunk universe!

[@sathishkumar5505]

that was beautiful

[@garyshirinian]

Very cool. Thx for sharing. Where can I find those watch parts. Thx Hope to hear from you. What the thickness of the copper. I might end up making one.

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you! You can find watch parts online but they are very expensive, it is better to search for old watches. I mostly use 1mm and 0.7mm copper and brass. Watch my last videos for a new, easy way to make the rivets. It is not an easy project but it can be done :). Have a nice day!!

[@gkvetal]

The body is of course beautiful. Screening the phone's built-in antenna, bluetooth, and other communications with a copper plate is a great idea. :-)

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you! I did not have problems with signal when using it, I will make more tests an post the result :)

[@timor.8002]

Pretty nice! Great work!

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you :)

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Inspirational work. Thanks. I envision an old sepia tone black and white photo on the inside of the case.

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you :), for a future project I will also try to engrave something

[@grindererrofficial3755]

Faradays cage as phone case? Nice

[@Charanjeet678]

Wonderful art. it might have taken years of learning and experience to reach to this.

[@steampunkmeister]

It's a great! Wonderful! Really Steampunk!!!!!!

[@alain8747]

c'est vraiment tres jolie.Un peu lourd peu etre mais au moins c'est vous qui l'avez fait .Et de belle facture (fabrication)

[@timothyspaugh6116]

Hello...great work. What gauge copper and brass do you use? Thanks!

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you! I used 0,5mm brass sheet and 0.7mm copper sheet.

[@SanskritVlog]

LOOKS GOOD BUT IS THERE NETWORK PROBLEM ?

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you :). I was able to use it to talk, received calls etc.

[@kraftsmith2929]

GREAT job, looks awesome 👍

[@stephenmitchell8324]

grate video what was that stuff you painted on the copper to make it go black

[@ImpactDIY]

Hello, thank you :), it is copper and brass aging solution/acid, search online, you will find many types but they all do the same thing :).

[@DJS20250]

Absolutly beautiful art piece. This is what steampunk is all about.

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you, I hope you will also like my next project

[@jmsmom67]

That is freakin awesome! I love that the gears move! Thank you for sharing

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you!

[@Chardonbois]

Genius! A great creation. Well done!

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you! I am working on an improved version :).

[@Chardonbois]

@@ImpactDIY Would love to have a go at one...but probably need to practice the techniques on something simpler.

[@gravitywillwin9448]

What a smart idea: put antennas inside a faraday cage! That's a really good looking airplane-mode physical switch, not a phone case. ^_^ My two cents: use this technique to make powerbank cases, that would be awesome!

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you :)

[@rerunrescue8904]

It's very beautiful but where in the world did you get all these interesting pieces. We rarely see videos about that. Maybe you should show us how to scavenger hunt for these pieces. Maybe, give a few suggesions.

[@ImpactDIY]

I am working on a video about this :). I will upload it very soon

[@rerunrescue8904]

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you :)

[@sectorgear5825]

Awesome, but I have to ask what about reception? Is it good?

[@ImpactDIY]

The signal is ok, i will make a short video about this soon. A lot of people asked this.

[@jamalkhn804]

Very nice and beautiful

[@charliemorss]

Great project! What is the black liquid you painted on then mostly rubbed off? It really made everything look like it "went together", before it looked like separate components. Really nice!

[@ImpactDIY]

Thank you :). The liquid is copper aging acid.

[@TheDrPhred]

Why would anyone 'thumb down' this. Great video and a great looking case, I'm jealous. You know I'm going to steal this idea.

[@NCOverion]

i can't understand how people can dislike this video

[@ImpactDIY]

:) not all people see things the same way

[@TheEndberg]

Great stuff! Can you tell me the soldering wire type? Is it silver containing solder, or just basic electric solder? Also, I didn't see you using any flux on the parts before soldering?

[@ImpactDIY]

Hello, thank you! Yes, i use flux and i used all types of solder, you need to test wich one you like.

[@createvitesanthoshpatil]

Antics super we're cool awesome.. Great job..

[@paulrhodes482]

What size and type of solder do you use? I would love to try something like this just not as elaborate your work is amazing! Thanks again for the amazing video.

[@ImpactDIY]

Try to use 1mm thick solder, not the cheapest. You need to experiment. It is not very easy to make it but the result is great :). Try to experiment first, do not use best parts the first time. :)
