REBUILDING TALLY HO - WATCH FROM THE BEGINNING https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB00JHoTw1TeX82Qw8hoFLRJI89Us_jMw&si=4yX-Zx4wFlNfI0rV —— I purchased the boat TALLY HO for $1 in 2017 and moved it to a friends house to start work. I didn't know how I would fund the project but luckily my YouTube videos picked up some momentum and people started wanting to get involved. Eventually the whole rebuild process was funded by its online audience - through donations, patrons, volunteers, and many other acts of kindness. I'm so grateful to have been able to facilitate the rebirth of this historic vessel and I'm honoured to now live on board. The next challenge - sail halfway around the world to compete (100 years later) in the same race that she won in 1927. --- To become a Patron - https://www.patreon.com/sampsonboatco To donate or support - http://sampsonboat.co.uk/support My Wishlist http://a.co/76y5IZP For sneaky previews of what’s going on in between episodes, follow my FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/sampsonboatco and INSTAGRAM http://www.instagram.com/sampsonboatco.

I Added Animals Into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

I Added Animals Into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

I created my dream tank, a 1000 gallon cloud rainforest vivarium, and constructing it has been quite a journey. It is fully stocked with tropical plants, automated climate control, and even some creatures that managed to sneak in through the terrarium decor. However, the goal of the vivarium experiment was to recreate and study a rainforest ecosystem so to complete the project, I needed to add more animals. Little did I know, doing so would amp up the biological action within the vivarium in a way that I could never have predicted. Hope you enjoy Part 6 of my ecosystem vivarium series. Ant love forever!

Making a Sunlight-Powered Aquarium (With No Filter)

Making a Sunlight-Powered Aquarium (With No Filter)

Get an exclusive NordVPN deal + 4 months extra here! → https://nordvpn.com/tanksfornothin It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee 👀 Window aquariums are famously a bad idea because it's easy for algae to take over, but I had a 6ft open windowsill and a dream. Despite catastrophic failure along the way, a bit more DIY and aquascaping kept the adventure on track. From dealing with the challenges of algae and direct sunlight to creating a thriving, low-tech, planted ecosystem, this project has been a mix of experimentation and discovery in an unusually narrow form factor. Follow along as the fish tank develops the natural way; with no filter, and no co2 injection.

How I Built the Watch From the Future

How I Built the Watch From the Future

Have you gone down here to try find an excuse for why the video I made isn't that good? Well here you go, this is the first video on this channel, and one of the first I've ever edited. So there you go, not such an interesting excuse. Oh wait did you actually like the video? Well thanks! Somewhere here you would normally get the links to Patreon or some sponsor links or whatever else people do for money on this platform nowadays... Instead let me tell you where you could find me and some of the parts I used on this project! Find my Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/sahko123 The main parts I used for the watch are as follows, - The display, which is the HCMS2901 (A more 3.3V friendly HCMS3901 exists now and is easier to find new). I got my displays on eBay. - The microcontroller, the stm32u08, offers a real time clock and USB programming. - A vape battery. - STC4054 LIPO charger IC. - Generic 3.3v LDO regulator. - and several capacitors. I got most of my parts from Digikey but many places sell most of the parts I bought. Did you spot the hint for one of the next watch projects ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Here's the schematic and code repos Schematics/PCB : https://github.com/sahko123/orange_loop_schematics/tree/master Code : https://github.com/sahko123/orange-loop-rename

TINY HOUSE ON WHEELS - 500 Days in 75 Minutes

TINY HOUSE ON WHEELS - 500 Days in 75 Minutes

In this video I build my tiny house on wheels from start to finish including the exterior and interior. This DIY, music asmr, narrated video covers every step of this massive build from the trailer, framing, roof, siding, electrical, insulating, wall paneling, flooring, cabinet making, plumbing and more. This off-grid tiny home packs an entire house amenities into a 11' x 30' footprint. This build took me over a year and a half to complete, and I shot over 4500 clips for this video. I released in-detail videos of this build as I was completing steps.

How to make a piano from popsicle sticks that actually sounds good

How to make a piano from popsicle sticks that actually sounds good

A better version of popsicle stick piano. Or a wooden kalimba if you will. Share if you like it! Fun fact - despite the similarities in layout, this instrument would end up being categorized fairly differently by musicologists based on the Hornbostel-Sachs system of instrument classification. Since a piano has strings stretched between two points it's a chordophone, further categorized into the zither family. This creation wouldn't even be in the chordophone family due to no strings, so it'd be some form of plucked idiophone (instruments that create sound through vibration without the use of strings or membranes), like a kalimba. - speedykeyspiano
