Looks like my house, having to move the cat! Thank you for the video

[@johngardiner4843]

Well done great job

[@Tommo1976]

You should always cut on the waste side, put your straight edge on the side of material you need. This is so if you accidentally cut a little off line, it's the side you are cutting off and don't need. You can always go back and cut the straight line again

[@callmehank88]

Yeah that made me nervous. I though, if he runs off that straight edge, he's stuffed the material he wants to keep.

[@MartFishTank]

I CAME HERE FOR THIS. AAAAA THE ANXIETY LMFAO

[@fayeashcroft7066]

What is the waste side ? Don’t know what that means ???? The off side ?? The left hand side or the right hand size ???

[@darkwaterblue]

Great video, will grab a circular knife and give this a go! Cheers.

[@gmbh8443]

I died when your cat walk on your roller blind 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Slowrex123]

Nicely done

[@kayplayforth9007]

Can you please show how the fabric fits back into the Spool.

[@dlon8899]

Thanks mate, happy new year. London out

I liked your video and the cat helping was a nice surprise. Being in the US I mentally auto-translated 40 mil into 0.040" which seemed like a pretty small adjustment.

[@arrahslichenmyer4986]

I like cats. They are curious and belong on many a project :)

[@ets2mp753]

blind should face the other way around Just noticed that !

[@ronnieteague5056]

Yes.... I noticed that too ! :)

[@jasonallen6836]

Stuck on step 1. I bought a cat but it keeps shitting everywhere. Please help.

[@miriamchannon9244]

Thanks I'm going to implement your tutorial tomorrow, I'll let you know how I got on, now tho , time to start dinner 🍽 😋

[@eloadjointeplus]

Thank you for all these clear instructions! I bought a roll-up blind and was wondering if I could change to a roll-up device like the one you use in the video. Do you believe this is possible? (I think so, because I saw some on Amazon) Last question: How do I remove the end caps from each side of the pole on my automatic roller blind?

[@nacholibre1962]

"The land of Diet Coke"! Funny!

[@gregscarfe6622]

Video just in time, for my weekend task! But Ive got blind with interior roller spring, bit trickier...

[@Dee.Cee.]

Why do u take off a extra 40mm ? And is that the same for modifying all roller blinds ?

[@kevinfrost5271]

What is the blue tool you were using?

[@jonwilliams6996]

To allow for the width of the fixings. It won't always be 40mm, but you will always need to cut that bit extra material (based on the width of the fixings of your own blind).

[@a.m.9357]

How do you shorten the drop (length, not width) if it's too long?

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

Just a suggestion to get your videos looking a bit more professional - turn the freakin' TV off..! :) It is very distracting. And I'd echo what somebody said below - always cut on the waste side of the line. I saw another video on this same task - and the guy did it on the entire roller blind setup, all tightly rolled up - on the chop saw! Great result, and very quick.

[@artsline604]

i'm just going to use my shrink ray gun, much easier

[@hotdog7988]

He talks like Elliot Goblet.

[@gregscarfe6622]

Haha 3:49

[@sanjivoberoi5361]

Yes, turn off that stupid TV, get the cat out. Demonstrate how to cut the rod. The rod and measurements are the critical factors which you missed. Why 40ml for the fixings? Are they all the same? How to find out? Then cut your video to the basics needed. Thanks anyway, nice effort and somewhat helpful.
