[center]EPOXY WATERFALL RIVER TABLE[/center]
WorkshopWoodworking by fixthisbuildthatFollo
In this Instructable I'll show you how to make an Epoxy
Waterfall River Table. It was my first time using epoxy and my
first time welding, so I had a lot of fun with this one. Hope
you enjoy the project!

I was wondering the other day how much pressure a PEX fitting
might withstand before it pops off, so I had Jordan make me a
test rig! In this video we are testing Sharkbite Push To
Connect fittings, Viega fittings, Uponor fittings, and two types
of crimped Sharkbite PEX fittings with a rig that goes up to
14,000 psi! The results sure surprised us. Enjoy this special
Christmas edition of The Build Show!

Agelbert NOTE: I believe my home water lines are PEX A. I just
want to say they are GREAT pipes 👍. My pipes froze one
January here in Vermont and they did not burst or leak after
they were thawed by a service that did the job the next day.
That was over 4 years ago. We still have no leaks. My
Manufactured Home is now 19 years old. 8) I have crimp fittings
but if I ever have to raplace or modify my pipes, I will use
Sharkbite fittings because they are HUGE time savers.

SNIPPET:
In this Instructable, we'll look into way to make a microwave
kiln.
For those who don't know what is a microwave kiln, here is a
quick introduction.
Microwave kiln is a kiln that you can put in your regular
microwave oven.
It does not use a wire heating element or gas to heat up.
Microwave kiln is covered with silicon carbide.
Silicon carbide absorbs microwaves and turns them into heat.
Microwave kilns are usually used to fuse glass.
You can turn broken glass into amazing jewelry.
There is so much more that you can do with microwave kilns.
I use a microwave kiln to burn out Wax or Pla from plaster
molds. It works very good.
You can also melt metals, but more on that in another
Instructable, since there is much better way to do it by using
the same principle.
Supplies:
► Sodium Silicate
► Silicon Carbide
► Ceramic Fiber Blanket/Kaowool
► Scale
► Mist Spray Bottle
► Sugru
► Blow torch
► Plaster of Paris or Any other Plaster
Step 1: Making a Plaster Ring

Duct tape was the only one that "failed reliably and often
quite catastrophically." 😀

[center]Is Duct Tape Actually Used for Sealing Air Ducts?
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-111018132332-16812332.gif[/center]
William Shakespeare's Juliet famously asked, "What's in a name?"
to argue that it doesn't matter what you call something: It is
what it is. But Juliet never had to repair air-conditioning
vents. If she had, she might have learned what a scientific
study found out over 20 years ago: Duct tape doesn't work on
ducts.
In fact, according to the results of the testing done at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, of the 33 types of
sealants tested on the leaky joints on a wall of joined ducts,
duct tape was the only one that "failed reliably and often quite
catastrophically." ;D
The study included numerous varieties of duct tape, as well as
materials such as injected aerosol sealants and plain old clear
tape. Although duct tape came in last for sealing leaking ducts,
it remains a popular tool for a huge range of other uses, from
sealing bags and removing lint [img

HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-210818163125-16722324.gif<br
/>and constructing your own wallet. :D
The tale of the duct tape:
► Duct tape was developed by Johnson & Johnson as a way to
better seal ammunition packages and repair equipment during
World War II.
► Duct tape is sometimes called "duck tape" because of its
ability to repel moisture, just like the feathers on a 🦆
duck's back.

► The amount of duct tape sold every year could stretch
beyond the 🌚 moon or wrap around the 🌎 Earth
more than a dozen times.

This project will show you how you can make a simple compass
with duct tape, a cork, a needle and a magnet: a floating needle
compass.
The benefit of this duct tape design is that the this compass
can be rolled and stored neatly when not in use, a duct tape
collapsible compass; how cool is that? [img

Thanks to controller boards such as Arduino, [size=12pt]sensors
are easy to use and affordable [img

This lnstructable aims to bring teachers closer to the didactic
use of low-cost sensors in the Physics class. We will offer
examples of practical activities in which sensors are used as a
tool to illustrate physical concepts, to show the relationship
between magnitudes in a practical way, or to take measurements
in laboratory activities.
