[@spiralyahgaming4566]

You should sing more. Seriously. Don't get me wrong. Avoid doing it professionally, but if you edit your videos with more singing it would definitly spread smiles everywhere like no one else. I know i would smile more. Keep 'em comming!

[@ВладимирГрачев-ы2и]

Uri, that link is broken, some extra symbols crawled in (like a pigeon to that store)

[@peterdeans4635]

Looks like myan or aztec inspired bandsaw man👍😊

[@manfredziernhold6046]

😂😂😂 Du bist das was man bei uns umgänglich als "schrägen Vogel" bezeichnet. Genie und Wahnsinn 😂😂😂

[@bytesback.]

These videos get slightly more insane every time. And that's why I'm subscribed.

[@MACTEPCKA9I_HA_MUHUMAJIKAX]

Этим безумным инструментам не хватает собственных имен, таких же безумных.

[@stuartstephens]

Uri is demented, but in a good way. 😁 The animation in this video was great.

[@markedis5902]

Just love the guy

[@pistool1]

This is magic; and Uri's work is black magic : -) Been here since the day 1.

[@Toddemone]

Mee too

[@tmcmurdo826]

There is a very fine line betwixt insanity and genius and you walk it like a drunken sailor dancing a jig on a shaker table. I wouldn’t miss a single second of your videos. You are fabulous.

[@davedavem]

I've learned to stop asking why.

[@samuelmellars7855]

Maybe soon you'll ask "why not?" instead

Give me a lever shaped like a long pointing arm and a fulcrum that looks like an elaborately engraved nose and I can flick the earth like a booger.

"elaborately engraved nose" lol

[@UnknownZYX_4085]

fling the earth like a booger? why not fling the entire solar system like flicking a little ant

[@rafezetter8003]

That sounds very Pythonesque.

[@DuaneInMich]

I've painted, stripped, repainted, restripped, etc. more projects than I care to recall, my friend. I raise a glass to your creativity AND persistence!

[@OddEnuph]

I've enjoyed your videos for so long and now I feel like I can finally give back in some minor way with a painting tip! When you mask an area, paint it once with the same color as the base color to "seal" the edges of the masking tape, *then* paint your second color. Hope that helps in the future!

[@smashyrashy]

What does this achieve?

[@trikepilot101]

I came down here to say that.

[@thedabblingwarlock]

@@smashyrashy If it bleeds, the bleed will be the same color as the basecoat. The bleed will also seal up the small gaps between the tape and the surface of the work to keep the second paint color from doing the same.

[@thenextstepp]

Another tip is to burnish the tape with something smooth. Especially if you're using low tack tape. You can get really good results combining the two methods.

[@smallstone1152]

Oh, thanks for the advice! I paint too and although I don't usually have a problem with the paint going under the tape I'm glad I know this now.

[@shedmanx3640]

The irony in using a bandsaw to make a bandsaw. Uri your manic personality and “shenanigans” is what makes all us subscribers continue to come back.

[@peterdeans4635]

I watched an amazing vid once of a guy doing just that with a lathe. All he had was a chuck and motor and used them to make a very profesional, well balanced and more torque than hell ever need, things we can do if time allows are almost endless🤔✌️take care.

[@LorenXLX]

@@peterdeans4635 That sounds very interesting! Do you remember the channel’s name? I’d love to check it out!

[@peterdeans4635]

@@LorenXLX hi, sorry it was a while ago now, I remember it was an english guy, maybe look under machinery/l/ lath construction at the top of your home page. Sorry couldn't help more. Good luck take care👍

[@LorenXLX]

@@peterdeans4635 Thank you! I think I might have a couple channels in mind!

[@simxplicit]

"Small percentage" viewer here. I came for the engraving all those years ago, but I stayed for the shenanigans. Informative and hilarious as always, Uri!

[@clarewillison9379]

Me too. 💝

[@HrafnirKrumr]

In my daily life I frequently feel like I'm the weirdest person around and don't talk about my interests much. But when I'm watching Uri's videos for some reason this tension leaves and I can breathe freely. Thank you Uri!

[@emcoalexx]

Same here - „we“ are not alone - only rare - best wishes from Austria - don’t stop making - stop thinking about yourself - feel free to be 😊

[@DH-xw6jp]

"why am I so weird?" [Watches my KZbin subscriptions] "Oh... How am I so normal?"

[@patrickmccarthy6532]

That yelling lathe mushroom was so funny. I can see you put a lot of effort into not just making your wonderful ideas but in your video and musical editing too . Your an amazing guy . Keep up the good work . Be happy.

[@Tr3sbi3n]

I love the animations in your video! I know it takes a lot of work, but hopefully they will be a permanent fixture in your future videos.

[@robotparadise]

While walking upon youtube I came upon a shakespearean eccentric holding a chisel in the left and finger-less glove in the right and laughed at the pigeon sitting on his shoulder as it looked at me and said, _"I taught him everything he knows."_ Humbly subscribed.

[@Trixieflips]

I love all the little animations sprinkled throughout, it made it feel really special

[@sykoteddy]

This was probably one of my favorite episodes yet, not for the many sad mistakes / end results you didn't like but for your humor. I really do appreciate that you show all your mistakes, because no one makes everything perfect all the time. Also, it shows that you have a certain standard for yourself, and once in a while it's ok to just f**k it.

[@AquaPeet]

"It's garbage... let's try again..." and then I saw A GIANT VERSION BEING BUILT and I laughed out really loud because I was thinking you were going to put an actually HUGE SWITCH BOX on the bandsaw because it was just easier to make!!

[@Makdaddy-q4y]

I really respect your perseverance for not giving up

[@Northlightflooder]

Hello Uri, I spontaneously fell in love with this bandsaw. Your projects are a great inspiration for me. And, of course, your way of presenting the story of its creation. Your drawings and the life you give to the ideas. Many thanks for that from Hamburg/Germany

[@dydlee]

So happy KZbin has recommended your video. This channel is the best I've come across in a long time. Thank you for bringing joy on a miserable rainy Sunday afternoon here.

[@literate-aside]

This channel is one man's decent into unfettered creative madness. It's majestic.

[@zeikjt]

I love that you keep so much of the trial and error! It's really how it goes sometimes where you're bangin your head against a wall trying to make it work and it takes several tries. Love seeing the process for real and not just the golden takes.

[@nomadicsculpt]

You're stuff is always a work of art. I mean the whole video. I've been working in graphics, animation and 3D for 25 years and I think you're exceptional. OK, enough praise.

[@christianbocka2724]

Awesome video! I have a trick for masking small features that works great. After applying the masking tape, lightly spray or brush it with the same color as the base. This step helps seal any tiny gaps in the tape. Once that's dry, you can apply the color you want to mask off without worrying about it bleeding under the tape. It is an extra step, but this method ensures clean, sharp lines every time.

[@elibenko382]

If there was ever a video that I would want my entire internet algorithm to be based off, it would be this one. Your personality, process, skills and peculiarity are on the highest level. I appreciate whatever it is that you do.

[@SlenderWolf109]

It's very comforting to know a man of such distinguished skill and creativity also struggles with paint like I do

[@Occatuul]

It's nice to see an honest process with struggle and setbacks and humour. Wild and fun video concept too, as usual.

[@discipleoftheword1785]

I found another brother. You are awesome. Thank you for the smiles.

[@samanthadean1083]

I never know what Uri will come up with next… but I always love it!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@Solanza]

I have nothing in common with your wood working skills but I love all your videos, they are quite creative and have allot of personality in their presentation compared to most other channels.

[@joebonomono]

If everything went as planned I wouldn't like these videos as much. I enjoy watching someone get derailed by the same obscure issues that would affect any one of us. We have all needed serenity now.

[@miles11we]

I know you won't see this but man, it is sooo much easier and cheaper (after like 3 projects) than most people think to get into using spray guns instead of rattle cans. (If you or anyone else that reads this chooses to go this route, research- -The different types of guns/spraying (hvlp, lvlp, etc) and decide what's best for your compressor, projects and shop. (Probably lvlp for most non professional settings) -Fluid tip and needle (Surprisingly pricey so just go with a gun that comes with the one you want) Thicker paint/finish needs a bigger hole to flow through (For me- 1.6 and thin accordingly) -Paint and finish Just for simplicity, I go with the same type of solvent lacquer and conversion varnish for everything (mostly lacquer rn, want to move 100% to con var soon), just get the same type in a primer, paint base, clear, sealer, etc. never deal with chemical incompatibility. Dyes/tints to make your paints I had no money for a long time, so I just got straight lacquer, used titanium dioxide and whatnot to make my own paint bases, thinned for sealers, etc. - A scale and notebook for logging and replicating things. If you don't need to mix 10 gallons at a time with milligram precision, a decent scale is very reasonably priced. You can also make a less precise scale still work with some fancy work arounds. -Solvents and additives I just have lacquer thinner, acetone and other misc solvents, I use the ones that flash off faster to speed things up, I use the slower ones as retarders. Obv the real stuff will often work a bit better but I ain't made of money lol it works -Compressor For small projects you really don't need much, set your gun and finish/paint up for spraying at as low of a pressure as you can get it to still spray nicely. I used a small pancake compressor for a ton of stuff for a long time. For smaller stuff an airbrush is awesome, they can run off a tiny compressor that doesn't even have a tank and they cost like $15 (and somehow still work fine), the orings don't play nice with the harsh solvents I use though. You can replace them with teflon if you want but I haven't bothered yet, I just make sure to not take the air brush apart until all of the solvent has had plenty of time to evaporate and leave the rubber. Idk what it is about most air tools but you can buy the cheapest ones on the market and they still usually work fine. Usually need a bit more care and time in setup but still. Can't say the same with almost any other kind of tool

[@petecross9470]

I for one found this very informative and useful! Thanks 👍🏻

[@nefariousyawn]

Ditto

[@jack5864]

Thankyou for taking the time to share this information with us, I've got some projects coming up and ill definitely keep this in mind. Cheers :)

[@Filbie]

The amount of effort put into this video-the animations alone even is so impressive

[@your_utube]

Pure genius. Certainly not run-of-the-mill. THe pigeon is a good touch!

[@davedavem]

I hope Make The Body will be available on Spotify

[@fredrikbreivald388]

I think we all went through that phase as children where we wanted to be a band saw when we grew up. Love the animation!

[@rickevans7941]

The fact that this channel doesn't have 50 Billion subs is CRIMINAL. Literally the only ORIGINAL content on the platform.

[@blockerman3d266]

You're reliability one of my favorite entertainers on any platform. As always, may you have success in all of your endeavors in the future. Especially involving paint.

[@rickthedragon]

I love the animation

That Clickspring reference. 😂

Fantastic video...very entertaining as always....and as always love all the pieces of art you create....

[@enzopriesnitz5521]

this video is such an accurate honest representation of the process of making something

[@TernaryHound]

Uri thank you. Your suffering has put life’s troubles in perspective for me. And the bandsaw is beautiful.

[@Cerbamofo]

god I love you uri been watching for years and you still haven't put out a single bad video

[@Handsome-Garbage]

I’ve been subbed for years, your videos just keep getting better & better! Your creativity makes me happy, thanks for that. 😊

[@CaiGwatkin]

I'm glad you keep in all the failures! Weirdly that makes me want to start doing workshop projects more than the perfect work I sometimes see. The finished product is both practical and iconic, the custom hardware really makes it beautiful. Also, nice MR2 at the start.

[@digitaIgorilla]

Your video presentation, with the simple line drawing animation in places, is 🔥🔥🔥 Magnificent. And original.

[@Postfrogish]

I truly hope you are having a good time, Uri, in the big picture! Because I am enjoying every one of your videos. You really are a great artist...and by also sharing your mistakes and unfruitfull endeavors (which honestly are entertaining) you make the crafting process real and accessible. Your creativity, though, is beyond compare. Please keep on shenaniganning! ❤️

[@frankierzucekjr]

The amount of patience you have man. Way more than i would have. But yea MDF is a pain. I was trying to do a paint job on an old speaker box and ran into similar problems. So i just used spray adhesive and stuck fake leather on it that i got from hobby lobby. It was very cheap too. So it worked out

[@KORUPTable]

I feel like your English is getting better and better! Love the music and crazy ideas!

[@elcatrinc1996]

I almost forgot how amazing this channel is, thanks random recomendation for reminding me to watch all the videos on this channel AGAIN!

[@frankierzucekjr]

Man i love your channel.. Everything about it. The beginning bit was great. Love the Bevis and Butthead shirt especially

[@janettehill8544]

It's always a pleasure to see what you are up to. You follow your own vision and it always great!

[@MrDuranis]

Glad Uri Shared this. Anyone who makes stuff regularly will at some point come across one project (or sometimes many) were they have to fight it every step of the way. Every single step becomes a problem, every possibly thing that can go wrong, does go wrong. Its good to see someone with as much talent as him still has these projects from hell as well. Turned out great though and the video was entertaining as hell. Mushroom head dude on the lathe literally made me laugh out loud.

[@Chromevulcan]

When you do something like this, especially on MDF which soaks up moisture, you can use a body filler spray paint (like we tend to use on 3D prints) to achieve a smoother surface finish.

[@tbillington]

I love your mad ideas and execution of those ideas Uri. You're a truly unique craftsman.

[@anchopanchorancho]

Hey thank you for showing your failures. I had a day of painting auto body, fenders etc. That day, everything I had wrinkled to death. An entire days worth of work gone. So many failures corrected throughout the day only to run into it again. This helps remind me that frustration and steps back are normal.

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

I’ve had a right old week, seeing a new Tuchman at the end of it is just lovely. Not watched it yet, but my thought on “I turned myself into a bandsaw” is yep, not surprised at all.

[@tamurlane6]

Oh man, what a fantastic video! Your persistence is inspiring. I have put projects in the bin or on the shelf for less compared to what you endured with this bandsaw. I also loved The Clickspring reference!

[@jeffantunes4145]

Your videos always scratch something in my brain of wonder and nostalgia. As much as I wish you could upload more I’m happy you don’t rush videos because they’re awesome! Serenity now!

[@John-we7qr]

I love how much atention you put into the details. I was curious why you hadnt added video and now I know why.

[@Mr.Gak210]

Love the style and skits in this one. Complete unrestricted creative flow. Absolutely wonderful to see :)

[@stevegosci]

Uri's videos are ones you like before you even start watching.

[@acidxero]

I've always loved and respected the entirely unique content you make, but I cannot explain how happy it makes me to see you not only find but also perfect your stride. Every element down to the music and the edit, you inject your creativity into every aspect of your videos, and I just wanted to say that I appreciate all of it more than you can know. Cheers.

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

Another pro tip is make sure you check whether spray paint is an enamel, lacquer, acrylic, or urethane and make sure to only use like products to keep it simple but you can still apply any finish over a lacquer if it is fully dry and your nose will let you know if it is

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

A wonderful work of art!
