did not know that but it makes sense

heh...another woodworker on here! Yes, as anton said, the amount of play in the end, is meant to offset the thickness of the end.

Yes, tape measure is handy for measuring real world spaces but when marking out work Ive always done the same thing, go from the 10cm mark. It does make it more accurate if you're going for precision& ive also made the same mistake as forgetting to deduct it.

You took the words out of my mouth, but I have to confess that when I'm doing tight tolerance stuff like cabinetmaking, I measure everything from the 100mm (10cm). When I do carpentry, then trusting the hook is all good for that for me where slight 1mm+/- tolerances are ok if it happens. I'm a tradesman, are you a tradie too?

@@Colaaah I like the wooden collapsible rulers with the 6in slide piece at one end for tight spaces

But it is only good for measuring from an edge away from the tape and where you have space for the hook. It is in the way when you want to measure from anything else.

Yes....I would have been throwing stuff and inventing new curse words if that happened to me.

@@EnuffsEnuff318 lol, you aren't the only one :p

You never sleep, when there is 3D Printing to be done!

You still know your sleeping schedule from August the 17th ?

@@TheRcEngineer Surprisingly - yes.

Classic Joel!

Or even something as simple as proximity sensor.

That depends. Some TVs take a few long seconds to turn on and show content.

That just crossed my mind (just watched the video and was about to comment)

Then you can just hookup your security system to detect any movemnt in the house to turn tv on. Also if you have presenced information from something like home assistant you can turn it off if no one is home.

@@PhilippBlum Time is also money. If you have to loiter around the screen for a minute for it to start showing anything, then just open the calendar app on your phone instead. If you want to save time, have this running during the time you're in the office. If you want to save on energy, use your phone.

this guy is a hack. it's not the first time he makes stuff about things he has no idea about. he makes pretty stuff that looks pretty on color graded video. I have serious doubts about the quality of his work.

I'm an IT Systems Administrator and Woodworker and this has never occurred to me! All my cabinets in my workshop are on french cleats!

This is how I am doing it as well. I have a 55 inch done this way. So i would say it works at least up to that size.

I have french cleats all over my garage, and use them in my game room for the tv and other shelving - totally awesome. (I had to make them nice and stain them for the wife).

Thats a very unsafe way to hang a tv. You can get a flat tilting wall mount these days for $15. Imagine you have guests over to your house, someone bumps into the TV and it falls on them. Now you have a lawsuit on your hands because there's nobody else to blame for building the mount that failed

@@andrewredding3132 what kind of guests do you have that would sue you for their error of bumping the tv down? lol

Did you just make a website?

@@KevinJohnMulligan yep, just created a little website for it, so I have my own individual content

This! It's also easy to implement...

A regular tv shutting down and turning on can take a long time for older TVs.

@@xoniq-vr it's a 4k tv if I'm not mistaken, so I guess it's not that old. But you are right, it's probably not the best idea to make it turn off every 2 minutes or so

I was thinking the same - that a PIR sensor would be a great addition - but I've seen even quite new TVs (and PC monitors) that can take a frustrating amount of time to turn on. I think it would really depend not only on how fast your particular TV/monitor went from off to displaying a stable image (and without overlaying a huge on-screen display informing you that, yes, it's still on the HDMI input!!), but also on your particular use case and physical environment - i.e. could you usefully position the PIR so that, when you walk up to the screen, the PIR turned the TV on a sufficient amount of time before you were actually standing in front of it/wanting to read it. You'd almost certainly want to crank up the timeout on the PIR sensor as well, so that it wasn't turning off "every 2 minutes or so" as The Tinker Dad mentioned. You'd want to find a happy balance between energy saving and not having it turn on/off too rapidly. You'd especially want to do that with older TVs with CCFL-backlit displays (... no one's planning to do this project with a 40" CRT or projection-based TV, right‽ 🙀). I don't really know for sure how TVs would cope, long-term, with being turned on and off several dozen times per day, but I imagine that newer LED-backlit TVs would handle it much better than CCFL-based displays, due to the high-voltage circuitry used to drive CCFLs. You might be able to have the TV/monitor turn off just the display, which would probably make it faster to come back. Maybe use that at first and then turn it off fully after a longer delay - similar to how Windows is often configured to turn off the screen after a few minutes and then sleep the whole PC after half an hour or so. I still wouldn't be surprised if a TV used for something like this needed its power supply capacitors replaced after a few years - but honestly, if you have basic soldering skills, recapping a TV/monitor power supply is usually easy enough and is a very useful skill to have, given how often a dead TV/monitor merely has a couple of failed electrolytic capacitors, so for a few currency units and an hour or two of your time you can have a fully-working display again! :) (Just *WATCH OUT for the mains-voltage bits!!* Obviously unplug it from the mains before removing the cover, but the capacitors on the mains side of the power supply can hold a *nasty* charge, even several days after unplugging it! Anything up to 340V is possible, depending on where you live and the circuitry in question, and that's not something you want to feel the sharp end of!)

Jelle Posthuma Yeah sure, but you could increase the interval to find the sweet spot and SmartTVs nowadays have a semi sleep function (my LG takes just 5s from being off to running Netflix for example)

And enough unused time on google calendar

I already thought noone noticed though it's so obvious... Guess we're too old ;)

Oohhh go there quick before he fixes it, you won't believe what Tom has got planned!

i cannot believe this

@@northwindx79 saying this because you are a Native? (Just curious;))

@@pentasonicnaturephotograph6937 i will not answer your question because what you asked is just an oxymoron. try to make sense next time.

@@northwindx79 well, the thing is this: I am considering two possibilities regarding your original comment: either you could be (proficient in) German, then our sense of humor is just not similar enough. That would be fair enough. Or you could be an English native speaker, then you should probably try to make videos in another language yourself. Third possibility: I got lost in the one-dimensionality of written communication and it's neither option. ;)

All my music is from Epidemic Sound! share.epidemicsound.com/MadeWithLayers Nice tip with the microwave/radar sensors - I've only used PIR in the past, but radar could be a more sensitive option.

exactly why I ended up here. Thinking about making a wall mount tablet that is 20+ inches for the kitchen to display calendar, to-do lists, and you can touch screen it to do more. Does anyone know if any touch screen will work with a Pi? I am just starting learning about them now.

Germans don't move like Americans.

Like dinners with different girlfriends? 😉

Modern LCD screens, unlike OLED or Plasma, do not suffer from burn-in.

@@MadeWithLayers actually LED screens are able to suffer from “burn in” but is a relatively easy fix, white screen for 6-8 hours and back to normal helps “reset” the affected pixels ,

I was about to write LOL, but that would probably have been misunderstood, because I literally laughed out loud :D

Different definition of "family planning" lol

😂😂😂

Too risky

is it what they call the calendar method?

Same. But every time I look at prices for this (which has been like every 6 months for the past 2 years), E-ink displays are still very expensive and not very big. Like commonly available e-ink displays for the Pi are like 7-inches big for $500. And refurbished kindle screens aren’t much bigger. Something as big as a sheet of printer paper 8.5” x 11” doesn’t even seem to be available outside of bulk/commercial pricing, let alone something as big as what he has hanging on the wall there... oh yes, and those are all monochrome. Just forget color e ink exists because you can’t get your hands on them... 😩

Nancy Lucas Well an Raspberry Pi 4 costs around 60 bucks you can probably google it and check the price for your local area. And the cost of the tv is very flexible since you can choose any tv or monitor I think. Then a cheapo tv wall mount. And you don't need to make a frame 🖼 for it so even cheaper. You don't really need a wooden frame for it although I think the programming part of the project would be the biggest problem for you so you might wanna get a hand from someone else.
