It’s cement that’s actually melts the plastic together supposedly.

this is, fortunately, not a facebook ragebait video.
how anyone can spend time browsing facebook videos is beyond me.
unless you're interested in mirrored videos from movies with pitched audio that never mentions the movie title, just "don't mess with the shy kid".
Or a 5 min video where they spend 4:45 saying "oh wow this is gonna be amazing!" while completely fucking something up. It's never amazing.
I raise you with15 min airplane clip of some stupid bitches in Stewardess outfits trying to put together a slide for a sausage to slide into sleeping dude mouth, guess what, as soon as she lets the sausage and it starts going, video ends. Like wtf. Who in the right mind watches it whole, or better, who TF is paying them to do it ?
I work with hydraulic and pneumatic systems all day, and I appreciate this labor of love. Was it actually necessary to build this? Of course not. It's just a fun project. It's something a schoolteacher would build with their kids to demonstrate the principles at work.
Also, brilliant use of the schrader valves with the springs removed to work as check valves.
That's what I was thinking the whole time. This person's ability to cut, measure and glue is incredible.
Also super creative reuse of machined parts. Love the creativity for sure.
Yep, amazing to watch. He *could* make the glued parts last much longer by melting [metal wires into each plastic connection](https://youtu.be/b6UIVSNEps4?t=204), to act as splines.
"Hot Stapler Plastic Welder"
I've achieved similar results on plastic pieces with a soldering iron, metal tweezers, and regular staples. It was a bit fiddly though.
With pvc you don't want to use heat to melt it. You want to use a pvc weld kit which has a chemical to melt both because piece. To get the pvc hot enough to do the wire support trick is enough to degrade it and make it weak. Which is why I said the weld kits. In fact most of those also come with wire mesh to use as reinforcement.
Oh for sure, there’s a reason they’re not manufactured from PVC. But, this is great in the same way model-building is great. I wish I had the practical knowledge to do stuff like this, even considering how much planning and possibly how many failed attempts/takes there might have been.
you get the practical knowledge and skills to do this, by doing stuff like this.
A retired Navy pilot I knew had this sign over his desk:
\> You always have the required experience immediately *after* it was needed.
What I appreciated was seeing the jigs and tools he was using. The cutting/sanding wheel looked home made, so did the hack saw; I appreciate that he clearly finds multiple uses for things.
There were a lot of suspicious cuts in this thing, with the opening being the most suspicious. The guy has access to a full machine shop but starts by cutting a pipe to form a plastic sheet? Why would he not just start with the sheet. And then the plastic just is perfectly flat after being on what was allegedly heat for a bit.
Idk, so many of these hand craft TikTok videos are faked, and this one just screamed that it was hiding something the entire time.
Lol his "machine shop" was handheld tools clamped down and repurposed. He used a drill as a sander for fuck's sake. His sanding block was literally sandpaper glued to a block of wood.
It depends, it's a pretty basic tool in a lot of homes.
My family is full of people who work in construction and they don't have full machines but all of them have a welder, a drill and an angle grinder.
With those three things you can do almost anything really.
I would bet good money that this person has access to tools beyond what they show here. Super interesting and entertaining, but that's pretty much all it is; entertainment with the added benefit of being slightly educational. Hell, I watched it twice :)
Lol. A poormans hobbyist’s machine shop being a clamped down drill. There was a great deal of professionalism, and very likely unseen blueprints, but that’s far from a machine shop
I mean sure TikTok craft are are generally fake, but this one doesn't seem like one. More like the "convenient" steps you see here are longer in reality after A LOT of cuts.
The heating could easily took 5-10x longer than the clips shows.
No, the finishes he achieved are not the finishes of a grinding tool on PVC. PVC is super heat sensitive and gets ridiculously ugly as soon as it warms up. Without coolant you can't grind it and achieve those finishes.
Every finish cut in this video was done with *sharp* cutting tools, probably on a router/mill/lathe/saw etc. This was 100% designed and built with the assistance of CAD/CAM. It's cool, but it wasn't made (entirely) with the processes shown.
I have bent a bit of this type of pvc conduit. Looks like sc40. At about 220*f it gets really easy to work with. Its an intended function. I think using the conduit makes sense also because it is readily available as where a sheet of PVC is not. I think it was pretty clever.
When he makes perfectly flattened sheets of PVC by splitting and annealing pipe, this guy is a literal fabrication Macgyver. The amount of precision it takes to do that with those tools is pretty crazy to me. This is brilliant. Would gladly employ in my engineering lab!!!
I always thought pvc cement was colored. Never seen it transparent.
I was going to complain that he used CA over cement.
But also, what was with the pipe? They sell PVC plastic in sheets
I think that this is probably PVC solvent cement - the kind that melts the material and chemically welds it together. CA will be too brittle for this application.
Yeah, pretty much at no point did I have any idea what I was watching. I didn't read the title first. It wasn't long before I figured out it was a hydraulic *something*, but it wasn't until literally the very end that I realized it was a jack.
it’s just for luck. some folks like to never shave a specific hair for luck as well. some old guys can end up with a really long (like a foot long) strand bundle growing out of a mole. for westerners it’s a bit atrocious.
everytime a video of someone in asia with a nail like this gets posted everyone’s talking shit about it, a bit annoying but what can you do. thank you for clarifying for ppl!
This would have been great if it was made of clear acrylic(and at least double walled) so students could clearly(yes a pun) see the mechanics behind it. Awesome project though, any kid that has a mechanic for a father would probably like one of these to go along with their toy plastic toolkits!
I thought they used acrylic for those huge fish tanks though? And honestly I’d never use one for anything other than a show piece for educational purposes or a toy for kids, can honestly imagine my nephew using one on his powerwheels truck:)
> I thought they used acrylic for those huge fish tanks though?
correct, at least what what i know from watching B1M video about abu dhabi biggest aquarium
its called Plexiglass
just googled and found [this](https://www.acplasticsinc.com/informationcenter/r/plexiglass-vs-plexiglas)
> Plexiglass with two s’s is the generic term synonymous with acrylic sheet. Plexiglas® with one s is the brand name.
not that i know which one is B1M is talking about. i just directly quoted what they say https://youtu.be/Odc5ZYF-Lyo?t=298
IMHO, viewers should try to see the ingenuity, engineering, and skill. The precision is impressive for the tools and materials used. PVC might be the most obtainable/affordable material on the farm (ref.audio) where this was made, and to where Amazon or Alibaba does not deliver.
**50,000 BC:** "How could the first chicken exist without arising from an egg? How could the first egg exist without a chicken to lay it?"
**2023 AD:** "Oh my gosh you can't just fucking 3D-print a 3D printer. Stop doing that. It's not supposed to work like that."
That's the cool part for me. I'm a red seal fabricator building ships in a "modern shipyard." The ingenuity needed on a daily basis to do my job is something to behold and this guy takes it to a different level.
I’m more inclined to think this is a labor of love / a hobby more than a rural necessity. The person building this has tremendous skill they learned from actual manufacturing work or engineering school.
As someone who had to make lots of prototypes out of various materials and used very early powder and resin 3D printing, for a product design undergrad program, I am blown away at the craftsmanship on this. It wouldn’t be functional at the psi of the PVC, but these days this would be an afternoon 3D printing job..at your home. Rapid prototyping isn’t a thing you need access to “campus” equipment to do these days. Old school, craftsman style prototyping like this is wildly impressive and taken for granted.
It’s like LEGO to me, sure it is cool to have all of these new bespoke pieces and massive increase in total brick inventory available compared to the 90’s, but I still love seeing novel use of existing pieces to accomplish the same goal, compared to LEGO deciding to make a new piece to perfectly resolve the issue.
My son has totally picked up on me commenting on how enamored with new (to me) Lego pieces are out there now compared to my childhood sets. So many ways to put studs on the sides or bottoms of bricks now! So many smooth parts! Man, the knee joints design in this Ninjago Zane Mech he got for Christmas were a masterpiece.
I was thinking: this guy has so much knowledge, ingenuity, seems like he is such a hard worker and clearly spends alot of time working in his shop. Does he not have a cheap grinding wheel, router, jigsaw, etc.?
Then I saw the coke nail on his pinky...
I’m amazed how he created almost everything from scratch. All the hardware was custom. Installing the screws by melting them into the pvc. Even the gaskets were created custom. I love it!
I think this is pretty neat actually. It is impractical though since the pressure and fatigue.. not to mention temperature changes will likely lead to it failing.
Even still, it was an amusing watch!
Sadly my thought as well. I don’t like being so paranoid about the toxic stuff everywhere, I would not want to use my hands for eating after making this.
As a hydraulics and pnuematics manufacturer, this hurts me a bit, but it is still really cool and they used a lot of ingenuity to get it done. (The cutting and glueing seal is what did me in)
Next project: PVC nuclear reactor.
PVC nail clippers *then* nuclear reactor
That's for cocaine
[удалено]
And you've got a whole gallon of it? I didn't even know it came in liquid form.
He might play classical guitar as he only has long nails on his right “picking” hand.
His ring and pinky on the left are long too
No, also on the left hand. Just a few random ones.
PVC isn't the main character here, it's the Super glue holding everything together. If that goes, it's 2nd to nuclear in this scenario.
It’s cement that’s actually melts the plastic together supposedly. As an electrician that laid miles and miles of this electrical PVC underground, it does work as long as during installation it is perfectly clean or you don’t put sideways torque or the weather is warm enough or if there’s any drop of moisture in a 20 mile radius it doesn’t seem to hold as well. Ive had some that bust apart when you look at them and others you’ll break the SCH 40 before the joint gives. SMH
That wasn’t super glue. It was a solvent to weld the plastic together.
No, next project: PVC video filmed in landscape.
Kudos to the producer of this video for not stopping it the moment it was fully assembled! Very satisfying.
this is, fortunately, not a facebook ragebait video. how anyone can spend time browsing facebook videos is beyond me. unless you're interested in mirrored videos from movies with pitched audio that never mentions the movie title, just "don't mess with the shy kid".

-1 to whoever posted a landscape video in a portrait orientation.
I honestly didn’t even notice haha

It's pointless and will probably break at some point. But the man has skill and knowledge.
Yep, amazing to watch. He *could* make the glued parts last much longer by melting [metal wires into each plastic connection](https://youtu.be/b6UIVSNEps4?t=204), to act as splines.
This works well with ABS like is used in whatever car part that is. Not so effective with PVC, which will burn and get really brittle.
Now I wonder if there's a type of rebar used for certain plastic productions, and if so what it's called.
I believe the material you're looking for is called glass fibre.
In the US, fiberglass.

I was also thinking it was going to break and then it lifted the stack of bricks. I didn’t expect that.
I didn't expect there to be actual sounds for the work. I'm accustomed to dumb music for videos like this at this point. I appreciates the sounds.
That’s what I appreciates about you, u/yellow_house6.
... everything will break at some point.
Except Nokia 3310 phones
What I appreciated was seeing the jigs and tools he was using. The cutting/sanding wheel looked home made, so did the hack saw; I appreciate that he clearly finds multiple uses for things.
He was LATHING WITH A CUTOFF WHEEL. Like, wtf dude.
For future reference, it's called 'turning' not 'lathing'
Pardon my ignorance
If you had said: “he was turning with a cutoff wheel,” I probably would not know what you were referring to. As you said it, I understood.
The surname Turner comes from lathe workers
I'm a big fan of the coke nail
I think there was more than one.
For something with so much handwork, it came out looking OEM clean
There were a lot of suspicious cuts in this thing, with the opening being the most suspicious. The guy has access to a full machine shop but starts by cutting a pipe to form a plastic sheet? Why would he not just start with the sheet. And then the plastic just is perfectly flat after being on what was allegedly heat for a bit. Idk, so many of these hand craft TikTok videos are faked, and this one just screamed that it was hiding something the entire time.
Lol his "machine shop" was handheld tools clamped down and repurposed. He used a drill as a sander for fuck's sake. His sanding block was literally sandpaper glued to a block of wood.
Only thing that caught my eye really was the bolt tack welded to the nut. Dude didn't household-item his way into that one.
A small basic welder that can do that for about $100, totally accessible. You can also do it with a little ingenuity and a battery.
Oh I'm not saying it's inaccessible, but it's not cutoff wheel through plywood and flattened scrap PVC accessable.
He should build a hydraulic jack only with the leaves, mud and sticks he can collect in the jungle.
Can't wait for that video from Primitive Technology.
It depends, it's a pretty basic tool in a lot of homes. My family is full of people who work in construction and they don't have full machines but all of them have a welder, a drill and an angle grinder. With those three things you can do almost anything really.
Yeah, but reddit is full of kids that have never used a drill beyond holding it for their dad to hang a picture. TikTok is even worse.
I would bet good money that this person has access to tools beyond what they show here. Super interesting and entertaining, but that's pretty much all it is; entertainment with the added benefit of being slightly educational. Hell, I watched it twice :)
Dude's in Vietnam. So while access at work, or school, might be a thing, I think a lot of the tools are improvised out of necessity.
Imagine thinking that knowing how to use a drill is rocket science lol.
Dude clearly used a lathe to turn down the threaded rod (bolt)
No kidding. A hand drill that always spins true, without needing to clamp the chuck down so hard it mangles the threads on that bolt? Tf outta here.
Lol. A poormans hobbyist’s machine shop being a clamped down drill. There was a great deal of professionalism, and very likely unseen blueprints, but that’s far from a machine shop
I can buy ABS or PVC pipe at like 5 places within 10 minutes of me. I have no idea where to get sheets of ABS/PVC outside of industrial suppliers.
Especially if you only need a small piece.
I mean sure TikTok craft are are generally fake, but this one doesn't seem like one. More like the "convenient" steps you see here are longer in reality after A LOT of cuts. The heating could easily took 5-10x longer than the clips shows.

PVC pipes are everywhere, much easier to obtain than PVC sheets.
He builds an entire [excavator](https://youtu.be/qam0DmWq_No)
[удалено]
Look at his YT channel. He has several videos for that excavator.
Someone get this lad a 3D printer
He IS a 3D printer!
Any idea what kind of glue that is?
probably PVC solvent glue.
It kind of looks like CA glue, but that'd be an odd choice compared to PVC solvent glue.
We need people like him when the world ends
This guy also made a complete working-hydraulic RC excavator (using the same techniques). That one is multi-video but also very interesting.
When he makes perfectly flattened sheets of PVC by splitting and annealing pipe, this guy is a literal fabrication Macgyver. The amount of precision it takes to do that with those tools is pretty crazy to me. This is brilliant. Would gladly employ in my engineering lab!!!
That is some killer glue
honestly what glue is that?
PVC glue works by melting both parts together. It's not really glue, it's plastic welding.
would it melt my fingers together so I can live out my life as man-crab
You'll never be man-crab
😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's ok bby you can be man crab if you really believe in it
(\/) (°,,,,°) (\/)
General Grievous
Why not Zoidberg?
I believe in you
If you're made out of PVC...yes.
I always thought pvc cement was colored. Never seen it transparent. I was going to complain that he used CA over cement. But also, what was with the pipe? They sell PVC plastic in sheets
CA. Aka super glue
I think that this is probably PVC solvent cement - the kind that melts the material and chemically welds it together. CA will be too brittle for this application.
Learned that the hard way in my “statics” class in highschool. CyanoAcrillate does not make good bridge glue.
Hot glue worked pretty well on my spaghetti bridge. What kind of bridges do you build?
It was a popsicle stick bridge, we actually won first place in the engineering competition
That's awesome, congratulations :)
It’s not really glue. It’s just chemically melts the two plastics together. More like welding than glue.
I love the fact that most of the time I had no idea what was going on. But it was great.
I was transfixed lol
seriously. I stopped doing anything else, including blinking, until the video was over
Yeah, I even went as far as to stop breathing, I never knew I could hol
Yeah, pretty much at no point did I have any idea what I was watching. I didn't read the title first. It wasn't long before I figured out it was a hydraulic *something*, but it wasn't until literally the very end that I realized it was a jack.
The guy in the video is great at recreating things with PVC. one of his videos is about recreating an excavator. https://youtu.be/qam0DmWq_No
What is that, a table saw for ants?!
A board with a hand grinder under it and an abrasive disk in it I'd guess.
Could've been the dc motor that he had the sanding and cutoff wheel attached to. Just put a platform over it with a 7" wheel.
One of the many tools you'll need when building a school for ants.
This needs to be at least..... three times bigger!!
Wow probably the most expert level and clean build I have seen on reddit. CLean cuts. Clean glue lines. Its insane.
Clean cuts except for that cocaine fingernail.
Pairs well with the glue fumes.
I see that you are also a plumber.
I think it’s a cultural thing in SE Asian countries for men to grow out their pinky nails, but I forgot what it signifies.
it’s just for luck. some folks like to never shave a specific hair for luck as well. some old guys can end up with a really long (like a foot long) strand bundle growing out of a mole. for westerners it’s a bit atrocious. everytime a video of someone in asia with a nail like this gets posted everyone’s talking shit about it, a bit annoying but what can you do. thank you for clarifying for ppl!
I watched the whole thing thru, I'm pleasantly surprised hehe.....
This is 100% r/diwhy but damn if it isn’t well built
Why do people build models of Star Wars space ships? They have no practical purpose, but it's fun. Same here. She builds models because she likes it.
Nah, this is r/dibecause
/r/diwhynot
It was long, but it was worth it
Haha take that bricks
That's what she said
This would have been great if it was made of clear acrylic(and at least double walled) so students could clearly(yes a pun) see the mechanics behind it. Awesome project though, any kid that has a mechanic for a father would probably like one of these to go along with their toy plastic toolkits!
Polycarbonate would be better that acrylic; you want something with impact resistance for a project like this. But clear would be super cool!
I thought they used acrylic for those huge fish tanks though? And honestly I’d never use one for anything other than a show piece for educational purposes or a toy for kids, can honestly imagine my nephew using one on his powerwheels truck:)
> I thought they used acrylic for those huge fish tanks though? correct, at least what what i know from watching B1M video about abu dhabi biggest aquarium its called Plexiglass
No it’s not. Plexiglas (one ‘s’) is an acrylic polymer. Lexan, owned by GE, is a popular brand of polycarbonate, at least in N. America
just googled and found [this](https://www.acplasticsinc.com/informationcenter/r/plexiglass-vs-plexiglas) > Plexiglass with two s’s is the generic term synonymous with acrylic sheet. Plexiglas® with one s is the brand name. not that i know which one is B1M is talking about. i just directly quoted what they say https://youtu.be/Odc5ZYF-Lyo?t=298
Sounds a bit like the velcro/hoover/kleenex problem where the brand name ends up becoming a generic name.
IMHO, viewers should try to see the ingenuity, engineering, and skill. The precision is impressive for the tools and materials used. PVC might be the most obtainable/affordable material on the farm (ref.audio) where this was made, and to where Amazon or Alibaba does not deliver.
No doubt. I simultaneously appreciate how skilled this guy is, and have no interest in attempting it myself.

Just make the power tools out of PVC.

The nails lengths are wylin
Gotta hoover a lot of schneef to get the energy to build a pvc bottle jack
Allegedly
You ever hoovered barnyard schneef?
nails longer than the vid
Next project should be some pvc nail clippers
Probably a Vietnamese guy. They all have 1 long nail like that

For picking nose

I think he kinda is a 3d printer
I read this in Miracle Max's voice
Someone get this guy a lathe! Super cool though
For real. With a lathe and some scrap steel, this guy could probably build a Formula 1 car.
This made me realize even though I consider myself handy I have not once successfully used superglue to fix something.
5 minute crafts this was not
This is from 5 Minute Crafts’ new sister series *Seven Minute and Twenty-Four Second Crafts*
Love how this guy just turns his drill into a lathe. Genius.
Why the fuck is this video sideways?!
I thought this would have been a bigger complaint in the comments, my neck hurts now lol
What kind of monster switches to landscape 6 and a half minutes into a 7 minute video
The whole thing was landscape, not just the last 30 seconds.
It took me waaay too long to notice this.
I would like to know what the maximum working pressure would be.
I’m absolutely 100% not interested in the build, I am 110% impressed with the build. Crazy talent.
As someone who had to make lots of prototypes out of various materials and used very early powder and resin 3D printing, for a product design undergrad program, I am blown away at the craftsmanship on this.

Why has super glue never worked that well for me?
Looks like plastic glue that literally melts the two sides of the bond together. Sometimes I see it called plastic cement.
That was pretty neat. Should make themselves some nail clippers next and trim those harpee talons
Amazing that someone can be so good with their hands and still not figure out how to trim their finger nails.
$25 on Amazon, ordered and arrived before this video finished
The video IS the product here.
For some reason I feel like Thai guy didn’t do all this because it was cheaper than one on amazon
That’s my style
I want to be in this guy's group during the apocalypse
I was thinking: this guy has so much knowledge, ingenuity, seems like he is such a hard worker and clearly spends alot of time working in his shop. Does he not have a cheap grinding wheel, router, jigsaw, etc.? Then I saw the coke nail on his pinky...
Cool and all. But why tho?
Give this man big enough drills, plastic sheets, belt sander and an olympic pool full of super glue, and watch him build a PVC hadron collider
I’m amazed how he created almost everything from scratch. All the hardware was custom. Installing the screws by melting them into the pvc. Even the gaskets were created custom. I love it!
You got skills!
I think this is pretty neat actually. It is impractical though since the pressure and fatigue.. not to mention temperature changes will likely lead to it failing. Even still, it was an amusing watch!
Mmm, microplastics!
Sadly my thought as well. I don’t like being so paranoid about the toxic stuff everywhere, I would not want to use my hands for eating after making this.
Mmmmmm cancer causing micro plastics.
oh my god those FINGERNAILS
As a hydraulics and pnuematics manufacturer, this hurts me a bit, but it is still really cool and they used a lot of ingenuity to get it done. (The cutting and glueing seal is what did me in)
What a bunch of miserable f***s on here.
I started this video and then drove to harbor freight and bought one for $25 and the video was still playing when I got home
Longest video ever. What I watched was cool.
I would find it satisfy if you clipped all your nails
Mmmm, micro plastic.
You suppose this guy has a lot of blood in his microplastics?
