[@RichardDenRooyen1973]

finally a channel with a inside look how to get stuff from junk and turn that into excellent art!

[@agorasaoelascanada4990]

Incredible sustainable!!! Congrats for you saving some part of the planet in some way.

[@oculicious]

no need to apologize, it's what we're here for, not boring :D Also that electro magnet you pulled apart would've looked amazing as a part of a spaceship engine

[@DarlingbroughModelRailway]

I LOVE collecting Greeblies... I have a knack of looking at some random piece of plastic and seeing the potential... My missus says I'm a hoarder... Haha! Please can you do a workshop tour / storage reveal? Talk about how you store and categorise everything? Love your videos!

[@harbl99]

"For this I will use this special technique called 'brute force'." Truly a man after my own chimp-with-a-hammer heart.

[@wingnutbert9685]

I like these breakdown/take apart vid's. I've got access via my job to dozens and dozens of small/medium electronics that otherwise would go to the dump, so I'm set for parts!

[@dingodirtydog]

Love the ideas. I really appreciate your humor and style!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Happy to hear that, thanks buddy!

[@leighharron]

Really enjoyed this, a very satisfying watch.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!

[@magnuscath-fawcett383]

Super awesome! I have used the reader in a robot costume as an eye piece as well as many smaller greeblies from a DVD player in scale model robot.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

I’ve got a dozen of these I’m gonna rip apart. I made a microscope with one. If you build a stand to put your phone on it will help. I looked at a flea under one and it’s pretty incredible.

[@protiod]

Old mechanical watches are incredible

[@CutTransformGlue]

Never found one :((

[@ShinobiAlphaOG]

If you can get your hands on old VHS machines, will blow you mind. Regarding the cube, it would make an awesome power core if you get it to spin with a back light shinning behind it

[@jackfallows1893]

I absolutely LOVE this format - greeblie treasure is the best treasure!

[@jackfallows1893]

All those reflective pieces look like pokemon gym badges laid out like that. And the knolling of parts is delicious!

[@CutTransformGlue]

So happy to hear that, I'll try to take more things appart on video!! about the pokemon badges... I think you just gave me an amazing idea for a video!! thank you so much, buddy!

[@santiagogarcia1830]

🙌🏻

[@dfcprops3849]

This is extremely fascinating to me. Love hearing about where people find their greeblies. Really looking forward to this series!

[@CutTransformGlue]

yay! thank you!

[@skinife]

Very nice video! And creative name for a series!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks :D

[@jbirdlathon8150]

This is as brilliant as it is needed for kitbashers and scratch builders. Thank you!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!

[@ZombieB]

I do this kind of hobby, nice video.

[@soapsuds5811]

I would watch these types of videos for hours, it’s just relaxing and interesting to see all kinds of greeblies you can find

[@CutTransformGlue]

Happy to hear that!

[@whatnotzone6866]

Glues used to secure fasteners and lenses/optical elements can be dissolved with Acetone/Nail polish remover. If you ever disassemble camera lenses you'll find the acetone to be useful. It's very easy to damage those very tiny delicate screw heads.

[@CutTransformGlue]

hmm, that's intersting! Thanks for letting me know ;D

[@RevvyTone]

Great video. Hard drives also have some nice parts. The "swing arm" or whatever it's called makes great braces for droid legs, and there's a tiny piece of plastic that looks like a rack with 3 or 4 missiles on it that is the prefect roof mounted missile rack for a gaslands build.

[@MartinDolan]

Awesome tutorial for people. I've been doing that for years, I also use some of those parts to make interesting jewellery, earrings etc.. I'll also add that about 10-20% of the DVD drives I find in people's hard rubbish still have CD's and DVD's in them 😂

[@CutTransformGlue]

jewelry and earings.. this sounds amazing! thanks buddy

[@theredbeardbard]

"For that, I use this special technique... called... brute force." - Best Quote Ever!

[@douglasdonaldson2510]

you sure got a lot of nice toys

[@TheRAZORVIDS]

Im forever looking for a good way to store my small plastic parts and also be able to easily see them.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Best way I found so far is on sorting bins/tiny drawers!

[@hewlett-packardlovecraft2297]

Awesome video, and it would be great for this to be a new series for your channel. As I usually say, it's just one more step in the process. Oh, and you should definitely make a DIY microscope. Even if it doesn't pan out, it'd be a blast to watch come together. Take care, and have a great week.

[@guilhermereis9520]

Acabei de assistir 17 minutos de desmontagem. Não troco Netfilx por isso aqui!! Puro entretenimento, comédia e griblees.. 10/10

[@lanceanthony198]

Awesome and inspiring! I’m so annoyed at myself now for throwing away all my broken technology in the past, I should have been taking it apart!

[@eduardoqueirozpaulino9359]

1:43yeah ,true...

[@jerrybailey5797]

Great video , very interesting 👍.... lve got quite a bit of old stuff, my dad was a Television Engineer.... l think l need a rummage 😉

[@CutTransformGlue]

television engineer!? that sounds AWESOME my friend, bet you got some insane looking greeblies

[@torymiddlebrooks]

I live for this idea and this execution. Thank you!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you :)

[@torymiddlebrooks]

@@CutTransformGlue I've tossed a few bucks into the kofi jar a few times and it's because of this incredible work. Thank you so much!

[@petermerz2704]

I just took an old flatbed scanner apart and got tons of greivlies out of it!

[@CutTransformGlue]

scanners are amazing!

[@justonsvoid]

The old Spy and Pry!

[@larissamonroe21092]

See this is damn close to perfect, this is what we were all talking about... Only thing more which you dont ever have to do, but to even add more pizazz is to tell us what you possibly would make with each of the pieces or ideas of almsot every piece. LOL yeah right... that is too many. But that SQUARE prism, I have taken apart of alot of DVD readers and writers, but I have never seen a square one, flat ones year triangle yeah...never a square, that is a piece that can be used in 28mm scale piece lighted up for an object like a tesseract type of thing. Man... Also those Magnets out of the lens, those are really good magnets, I have been finding 1/3 of those size ones lately in my teardowns, tiny little size of erasers sometimes smaller. Free magnets for closures and attachments for arms quick change parts. and they hold so good. That white plastic good white filter for leds as well...I get metal on mine lately never white opaque plastic anymore. You are lucky. Keep it up this is what I think we all wanted and appreciate please keep it up! ***BIG HUGS***

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you so much! The idea of talking about what to do with each piece is something that definitely crossed my mind.. think I'll try that! The square prisms is kinda rare I must say, keep trying and you'll eventually find them :D thanks again and happy new year buddy, big hugs!

[@larissamonroe21092]

@@CutTransformGlue I sure hope so, triangle and like flat glass is what i get never a square i hope one day i will come across one. And same to you as well. :) Be safe, and no cutting of fingers or jabbing your hand with screwdrivers!

[@ddland45]

Nice video. I guess I'll have to search through my storage and find all that old tech.... if I haven't tossed it already.

[@markfriesen1435]

I like the part where you show that even the boring looking faceplate may be hiding secret details on the backside. I liked the video camera teardown too.

[@CutTransformGlue]

glad to hear that, thanks buddy!

[@malck234]

Iv'e been doing exactly the same for the last few days, had a large pile of old electronics to extract wonderful Greeblies from...excellent video as always....

[@CutTransformGlue]

Glad to hear that, thank you!!

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Rite Dude, A friend gave me a 3 disc cd player n yeah taken apart as soon as he left :) TFS, GB :)

[@CutTransformGlue]

That's great! Blue rays are also amazing they have many more pieces and lenses

[@Qudi19]

imagine this dude comes to ur house looking for "greeblies"

[@kurogiza]

Super cool video! Love the breakdown, more please. Which cutting disc do you use on your Dremel? Here's a mildly interesting fact: in south Africa where I grew up, we used to refer to 3.5" floppies as "stiffies", since you know, they were not floppy but stiff :D

[@CutTransformGlue]

that's funny, stiffies lol! I use a simple metal toothed disc I bought on ali express years ago, nothing to fancy! (not the best also, but does the job)

[@LaserGadgets]

Can you imagine a future without greeblies? .__. most devices only hold a circuit board and no mechanics.

[@torymiddlebrooks]

We have the small advantage of cheap and ready 3d printers to balance it out but that's it's whole own bucket of worms. A nice balance between the two is best

[@CutTransformGlue]

I mean... sometimes I think about that and it makes me sad (probably why I save every greeblie source i can)

[@GeoffreysTube]

I love your channel! I am working on trash bashing some things myself.

[@CutTransformGlue]

thank you!

[@miamijules2149]

Makes me want to take this commercial printer I have in my room AND RIP IT APART RIGHT NOW!! GREBBBBLLLEEEISSS!!! I NEED EM NOW!!! NOW!!!

[@CutTransformGlue]

I say DO IT! just kidding, but look for dead printers, they are the best source!

[@TerrainbyAaron]

So is it you I blame for me dismantling my Xbox one, old TV and radio😂😂

[@CutTransformGlue]

:DDD

[@AJB2K3]

WTF? Is that an intensional pun? shouldn't it be W2F?

[@torymiddlebrooks]

It absolutely is intentionally! I think it's hilarious because I frequently find myself thinking "WTF is that part/where can I find it?"
