Making a "Smart" Practice Seat | I Like To Make Stuff

[@AGlimpseInside]

Videos like this are solid proof this is the most diverse maker channel on the planet. Personally I think this is a fantastic idea.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@IsmaelVazquezJr]

I don’t mean to alarm anyone but I’m nearing 210 subs, so you could say that theres some pretty steep competition coming your way.

[@hallobre]

This fills the gap that the king of random left behind

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

@aglimpseinside it's difficult to argue your point, this channel has loads of awesome content. Take care young man.

[@bytesizedengineering]

I loved the hacker montage! I recognized clips from Jurassic Park as well as War Games! I'm sure I missed other clips.

[@chaoticlogic588]

Just wanted to stop four minutes in and say that I appreciate that coding montage.

[@rchavez5056]

This is a great idea for a time out chair. Write the code so that as they sit the progress goes up. If they get up the progress quickly turns off one bar at a time.

[@MadebyArt_Ehv]

Perfect idea for my girlfriend and her son of 7. A chair for her so he knows not to disturb for a while!

[@nathancarbo]

Next week, a thing to make your practice seat think you are practicing

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Haha

[@MakeShapeCreate]

Wouldn’t that be a boom box

[@tiffanymorales3813]

This absolutely by an amazing idea as a kit. For people with ADHD, we struggle to continue with certain projects when no longer have the motivation for them. But at the same time we go crazy trying to explore new ideas and skills. I think this is the perfect solution to 1. Learn about building and coding and 2. Utilize what we just built to help us finish projects we left behind. I would LOVE to make this one day!

[@UncleJessy]

You had me at Scott Pilgrim

[@Iliketomakestuff]

haha. We all love that movie

[@IsmaelVazquezJr]

I’m so lazy, the seat is going to be asking me, “are you still practicing?”

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Haha

[@MakeShapeCreate]

“Excuse me sitter, are you still alive?”

[@th3phoenix3968]

DUOLINGO irl?

[@cmdraftbrn]

sure as hell aint gonna work for paintin models. unless there's a sensor for brush wigglin.

[@IsmaelVazquezJr]

@@cmdraftbrn attach an accelerometer to a paintbrush. You could also use a video camera and run the feed through a machine learning algorithm to detect whether you’re painting. You could also attach a pressure sensor to the paint brush. There’s a lot of ways to implement this.

[@Maxx1985it]

Finally a new video, i was worried

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Scheduling is an art.

[@JysoVandrake]

This is a brilliant project! It could honestly be a major help to many people with their day to day practice on things like Guitar or Piano, or maybe even something like learning a new language! If that can be done. I would love to see this project as a big thing, people all over using it to help with their activities and more. It's super cool, and would be a major help in the long run for a LOT of people.

[@SydnificantMe]

I would definitely buy a kit for this project! I pull a lot of long hours for animation and it would be nice to have it rigged as a reminder to get up and walk around

[@juliewoessner9453]

The sign will be excellent even for a student working on a project. The possibilities are endless. I would buy one.

[@cspencer5529]

That hacking montage XD. Pure gold right there. Not only are you good at making stuff. But you can produce decent cinematography.

[@jwhiddon69]

Love the Jurassic Park, and War Games clips.

[@DennerBob]

Been waiting for the super hacker montage since it came up in the podcast, and it definitely didn't disappoint!

[@yuvalbirger]

I loved the hacking montage

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That was fun to make!

[@3DPrintLightingNerd]

I absolutely love this idea. One change I would like to see, add an input and through jack for plugging in a guitar to it. This way you would be getting a direct signal from the instrument that would then be passed onto an amplifier. Keep up the amazing job. I absolutely love seeing what you come up with!

[@kllafothaskrilla]

Liking the new video editing montage. I used to watch the king of random when grant was the host and your channel because I like to keep myself busy when I’m not at work. A little before Grant passed their channel was taking a different direction from diy projects and more towards experiments. So now I’m basically only tuning into your channel now and love that you go from wood to electrical to tools etc. Love what you guys do! Keep up the channel and the great content

[@canyflyer]

Haha LOVED the retro hacker montage - all systems at Jurassic Park should be back online now

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Really cool idea! Now I want progress bars everywhere

[@CrixJoki]

Oh wow, this would be perfect for me, I am Autistic, so I have a habit of loosing myself when I´m creating art, I forget EVERYTHING and totally living in the moment, and since I have back issues, it would be good to have a reminder to get up every once in a while, and a reminder to EAT, dunno how many times I´ve lost myself and forget to eat...... :/ So I think this is a brilliant idea! :) 💜

[@twincities69]

As always, another AWESOME video!!! Thanks Bob.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@6point5]

Apparently Bob is now "Hackerman". Just need a hoodie now.

[@tannerjw]

Really cool idea Bob! Great video!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

thanks!

[@sddiymakeitworthit7512]

That’s another level really awesome 👏 👍

[@MakeShapeCreate]

Awesome project! I was just relistening to the podcast episode where you talked about a lot of the montage ideas! It’s cool seeing them come to fruition

[@Iliketomakestuff]

It was so fun to do something silly like that

[@MakeShapeCreate]

@@Iliketomakestuff I bet! Might need to think of something like that for one of our videos

[@matthewdaniels1147]

Very clever project! You should totally do ILTMS build kits.

[@BrianSantero]

This is a great design because I like to blast your KZbin videos while I'm sitting and "practicing" trombone. I'll get my "progress" perfectly!

[@arulxavierrajselvaraj5472]

N. By🐮🦁🦁🐵👯‍♀️

[@chrzrd.]

Looking forward to that kitchen video 😉

[@stephenrider2413]

Loved the hacker coding montage.

[@scaz83]

I need more montages like 3:42

[@GCaF]

I've always wanted to make a switch at the house door that cuts all electricity from non-essentials (everything bud fridge and heating basically) as well as close the main lines for water and gas. Just flip the switch when leaving for vacation... then flip it back when I get home... but I never got around to it. Don't know why this video brought that idea back in my head - maybe you guys could do it :)

[@malcolmsanger]

You could turn the Star Wars console into a control centre for your studio/workshop. Make the dials and greeblies control lights, vents etc

[@justinnamilee]

The hackerman montage was awesome, I had a good chuckle.

[@andrewadams9686]

I would totally buy this kit!

[@andydaseal]

Love the "Hackerman" montage 😂😂

[@Iliketomakestuff]

so much fun!

[@pileofstuff]

@@Iliketomakestuff The tic-tac-toe in the middle was the icing on the cake!

[@DeeSnow97]

woah, haven't been here for a while, and wow, you have leveled up for sure

[@rheedwomack5884]

I love the little hacking montage 🤣👌

[@Studio_940]

This is a cool idea with so many possibilities, good job

[@TheAwsomeness324]

10/10 would buy a kit to make this.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Make sure you sign up using the link in the description!

[@ethankoch8507]

Okay the coding montage caught me off guard, though I’m not sure why I was surprised, and was easily the funniest thing I’ll see all day 😂😂😂

[@Deacon240]

It would be interesting to use this either in a standing mat or still as a seat and have the guitar signal pass through versus using a microphone. Would be useful for if you're listening to a track or if someone comes in and wants to talk to you to ensure that it's only measuring the actual guitar play time versus generic noise.

[@bjk12385]

Honestly, in the first minute or so my thought was "what kind of non interesting project is this". after watching the full video, this was pretty cool. It was a mixture of different skills all rolled into one, and i like when you do that. great video

[@tylerm.9408]

I would 100% buy a kit for this since I don't have the tools to make one and would love to use it to help me get things done.

[@OurTayloredHome]

Lol, I like it! I thought when you said it would make your practice, then if you hadn’t completed 30 mins in 24 hrs it would start wailing until you sit down to practice.

[@Cosmoandcracker]

I guess Kit's would be cool in a way - but to make it more customizable it would be cool aswell to be able to buy certain Kit's you only need. For Example I have a ton of those ESP's laying around I will only need the actual Progrssbar. So If you'd split this Kit's you'd probably sell more. Not splitting the whole project into each part - that is just to much work. But after a few tries, you will see what people need. The Electronics? The Design of those cool housings? You are doing a great work! Keep going on. Greets from Germany!

[@WhenGeeksCraft]

love the hacking part of the video!

[@veryamazingandcreativename]

So I want to do what you do when I grow up, but what would you call your career? Engineer? I’m not sure what exactly your career would be called, but it seems extremely fun.

[@ShadowDrkKnigth]

Hell yeah i want one of those kits! Great work!

[@scotschoor]

Picture in Picture is the perfect way to do an ad. First one I didn’t fast forward through.

[@micmathers1]

This was a great project idea. Nice work!

[@owenlynch8787]

Please keep making cool stuff

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's the plan!

[@owenlynch8787]

Could you make ice hockey skates maybe

[@DavidPlass]

Love the "hacker" sequence!

[@ElHeffJeff]

Would love to implement this into my drum throne :0

[@Mr.Batsu12]

The one thing missing is a sensor that can judge the quality of what you are playing. I've been playing guitar for about 35 years and one that I do for enjoyment and stress relief is just doing improvised solos over music or backing tracks. I can easily do these solos for an hour or longer and while it's enjoyable it's not very useful progress. Sure, I do limber up my fingers and get to work on my improvisation and melody creation but that's only a small portion of what comes from this musical goofing off. In fact I usually refer to this as "Musical Masturbation" as it's fun and helps reduce stress but it's not very productive. LOL My time would be better spent going over classical or jazz study pieces, working on music theory or writing songs but I guess they don't yet have sensors and arduino code for everything yet. :D

[@michaelverhalen429]

I would love if y’all started making kits for projects. I travel a ton for work and it would be something that my daughter and I could do via FaceTime. Thank you a ton for all of the great content have been a subscriber since you were a tiny new channel doing stuff on a portable table saw.

[@acoffeewithsatan]

Bob wants to spend more time practicing guitar, so he comes up with an idea to make while procrastinating over his practicing schedule... every guitar player can relate with that! Jokes aside, that's a pretty fun idea

[@peterlisyak5396]

A supported kit is a great idea, if you were able to have different codes ready to go to support different uses I feel you could be on a winner

[@nodakhunter]

Yes for kits! Some thing that rewards you for practicing. Example prevent coffee maker from working tell you have meet the practice requirements. 😉

[@X3WorkshopDesigns]

Fuck yes Bob!!! It brings a big smile to my face knowing you're finally making time to play again! Lets make beautiful music together!!

[@prakaashmeenaa]

I wanna see more videos like this.

[@SeanFoushee]

This is fantastic! I just got back into playing and I'm currently building a floating shelf to hold my saxophone accessories (mouthpieces, reeds, etc) and I think I'll take a stab at adapting the volume control to add this to the front of the shelf. Thank you for you're amazing idea and sharing the code!

[@DudeSawdust]

Someday I want to take some courses on electronics and incorporate it into my woodworking (but I'm still trying to master the woodworking part first). Your videos inspire me to up my KZbin and maker game. Thanks for the great video. My son Austin turned me onto your channel and I'm glad he did. Great build! Keep 'em coming!

[@joshs2710]

Love that for at least the progress bar your main inspiration had to come from the “Pee Bar” from Scott Pilgrim 😅

[@Zogg1281]

Now all you need is something to remind you to sit on the guitar practicing seat 🤔.......🤔......🤔..... I've got it "Alexa remind me to practice guitar" 😁😁😁 The things you come up with are AMAZING and selling kits to build things you have made is a really cool idea. 👍👍👍👍

[@jotee804]

Love the hacking montage really cool, keep up your good work 😀

[@TheAwsomeness324]

ayyy a cornel name drop

[@Iliketomakestuff]

He does great work

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant idea, Bob! Really well done! 😃 A wooden stool, maybe with high adjustability... Would fit very well the project! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@inspiringbuilds]

Nice, I loved the hacking montage! Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to inspire others to build something awesome! 👍🏼

[@anthonya89]

Love the idea of kits! I like the different electronics videos, but I'm not super interested in learning the coding to make them work specific ways. So if there was just a plug and play kit I could customize the outside for or something that'd be perfect.

[@ScamstinCrew]

I would love to see you guys do a DIY electric standing desk. I know that it ends up cheaper to buy the ready made legs. But a project like this might be right up your ally it will combine construction, design, and electronics in a very basic and approachable way.

[@SaintDuma]

The classic "hacker" sequence was very fun

[@marceloraby6541]

3:45 Jurassic Park :D

[@forestbirdoriginals4917]

Do you know how happy the coding scene made me when I remembered the callback to the podcast! Well done sir!

[@fabrexavier77]

That’s a Vero good idea !!!

[@bdl91983]

That montage was so much fun!

[@user-bu8qn3tc6r]

Just a quick note: VsCode with platformio is miles better ime than the Arduino IDE you're using at the start of the video. If you don't want to leave the arduino ecosystem, they have the pro ide as well, which again is miles better than the default.

[@jupamoers]

Great idea^^

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@benho-shing8950]

Would this work for a piano bench?

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Absolutely!

[@jerrytom5519]

hello from france :) love your videos! ^^

[@sgsax]

This is a super cool idea! Looks great, nice features and functionality, uses a variety of skills to put together. Love it! Bonus points for the hacking montage. 😂 Thanks for sharing!

[@JohnMadeit]

That's definitely how people type code 😆. really cool idea.

[@Davasto89]

Shut up this was was AMAZING! And the best part: i have nearly everything on hand in the workshop (gotta go)

[@tcat3315]

The ultimate timeout chair 🤣🤣🤣

[@JToTha2]

I get a Sims vibe. It reminds me of the skills progress. You should add a level up sound to it when you're done.

[@SuffolkFarmer]

Great idea Bob ! Can you send Jimmy one for his trumpet practice 😂

[@peterpe5851]

First I thought you are gonna build calendar on done display to show his much you played last month or so. Would be cool mod I reckon

[@joehaas4980]

Piezo sensor would have worked well for the seat also. Probably cheaper and easier to get ahold of

[@MadebyArt_Ehv]

Would be amazing for me to have something like this for every day doing my lower back exercises. Maybe in combination with a board which tells me either I've did my exercises for that day.

[@RVEspen]

Wicked cool project! I’d loooove to buy this as a kit!!!

[@forby_]

[@mandar3567]

Really Cool!!!

[@CW77777]

What kind of foam was used and where did you find it? ... do you have a link for the foam?

[@EvilSpyBoy]

I rewatched it but I think I missed a step. What did you have on the perspex/acrylic to protect it from the sander? The acrylic I get just has either that paper stuff or thin plastic that you peel off, did you put something else on or did you just sand that quickly?

[@Iliketomakestuff]

No, that particular piece had a masking tape on it for use in a laser engraver, but effectively just the same as the plastic coating 👍🏼

[@mineslime7766]

I missed electronics projects like this on this channel :D

[@juliemac5604]

This should be marketed as a “Homework time tracker” to gamify homework habits.

[@Nukaza90]

Woow what a awesome idee 😀

[@timyoung8638]

I would love to see your take on a magic mirror along with some extra features you don't see that often

[@CraftyWanderess]

This is fun!

[@mattf9096]

I like the idea of kits if someone else does it for you guys. We don't need business and shipping bullshit getting in the way of your creativity and video making.
