This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.

[@Tocsin-Bang]

This is a lot better than watching the inauguration.

[@johntilghman]

we still 4 years to go to see the rest of the show.

[@DavidPlass]

The t10 bulb looked pink to me.

[@zentechnician]

Yes. Pink.

[@Henryhaspants]

Looked purple to me. But it is a little difficult to tell as opposed to seeing it in person.

[@EsotericArctos]

I thought so too, but could be an over exposed red colour given it was pointing at the camera directly, or it could be white with an infrared component as IR can look pinkish too on camera

[@zentechnician]

@EsotericArctos He's got red-green color blindness and it looked white to him so definitely in the red spectrum somewhere.

[@EsotericArctos]

@@zentechnician Yes, I understand that. Most likely is in the red spectrum somewhere, these often seem to be. I was just throwing an oddball idea that went through my head about maybe having an IR component to it lol :)

[@GworxOz3953]

Thank you for another enjoyable video.

[@SidneyCritic]

That T10 looked violet around the edges. I guess we need a T10 brightness comparison test, but then again some are side mounted PCB which prob can't be substituted because of beam direction.

[@qwaqwa1960]

Ha, funny, I got a couple bottles of UV resin a few days ago!

[@EsotericArctos]

The T10 looked more like a light red/pink in the camera, but can be hard to know, could be white with an infrared content to give that colour too. There are so many of these around now, every cheap chineseum factory is doing variants of them now

[@CTCTraining1]

For storing components have you tried using an bing binder with plastic wallets … use a mini electric bag sealer to make the slots to the width you need. Should be doable, just need to avoid cutting through the plastic or use thicker wallets as appropriate. 😀👍

[@retireeelectronics2649]

Happy the posties are back delivering. With a windchill of -43C when I commented, definitely time to bundle up, try to have a warm day.

@@tenminutetokyo2643 I use to live in Lynn Lake Manitoba. Best we had was -50C

[@ozisnice]

Great assortment of stuff this time well every time realty.

[@tengelgeer]

For the proto boards I would go for the green boards. The brown stuff is paper based and the track/pad adhesion isn't great. Most of the time the green proto boards are FR4 which is better.

[@ronm6585]

Thank you. Happy "cold" Monday.

[@DustinWatts]

I am building a ±15V supply, and the LM317/LM337 adjustable regulators give the leat noise. Off course I am working with audio, so for general OpAmp use (which usually like a dual rail power supply), these a good! But if you want to use it for audio you know for in the future 😀And you have a UV glue van over here! And btw the T10 lights... I think some of the other creators is playing a joke on you. That would be funny. But if someone really send some stuff to your PO Box... they are very nice people. And I don't want to disregard (can't think of the correct English word) their donation.

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

send pics of the UV glue van

[@DustinWatts]

@@TheUnofficialMaker Lol! I meant Fan.... I do find you funny!

[@aurthorthing7403]

Amazon has those sampler books filled for the same price you got an empty one for.

[@obd6HsN]

but then what do you do with all the stuff you already have? :)

[@user-yr7dd7ye2h]

are you sure ? in USD perhaps ;)

[@jieffe6702]

I have a similar UV flashlight and the AAA battery holder can be replaced by a simple 18650 rechargeable battery.

[@frankowalker4662]

I tried that with my UV flashlight, but the 18650 was just a bit too long for the body of it. 😞

[@SidneyCritic]

@@frankowalker4662 I bought it a while back, but they make a shorter one and I think it's 18500.

[@frankowalker4662]

That was a random selection.

[@albanana683]

Disappointed that you didn't attempt the Chinese for "sample book".

[@RambozoClown]

Is it still cheaper if you factor in paying a Chinese child to put the SMD parts in the book?

[@pileofstuff]

Surprisingly it took me less than one beer's time to sort and fill the book.

[@Boopadee]

Video was uploaded 10 minutes ago with comments from yesterday 🤨

[@eggman3141]

Early access for channel members.

[@michaeltempsch5282]

Its not when it was uploaded, but when it was made public, that youtube counts video age from...

[@pileofstuff]

That's it. Channel members or Patreons get access a couple of days early.
