I'm trying to make my apartment nicer, so in this episode, I'm gonna pimp up my boring living room wall with something more exciting. Although the end result was not what I had planned, it turned out pretty awesome and far better than the original idea. So in this video, you can see how to turn AI pictures into living room art with a plywood board and some LED strips as backlight.

I bought a bottle of hydrochloric acid at a grocery store out of curiosity, so in this video, I'll take some shiny new metal and expose it to the fumes from the acid to see what happens. Although not quite what I was expecting, the end result was kinda cool. So this experiment at least resulted in me learning a new way of how to make metal look old

In this video, I'll make a portable table saw out of a cordless reciprocating saw and some old and new material I have lying around, along with various other bits and bops for installing various upgrades. Although it's quite intimidating to use this noisy vibrating beast, it will come in handy as I don't have a miter saw or a real table saw at my disposal. I probably will have to go buy some earmuffs with a radio to use while operating this beast..

I made a chest out of old rotten driftwood I found by the shore.

I'm gonna see if I can't cook up a nice little indoor garden container and plant various things in it to get some green to look at when winter sets in. I'll make two different containers, one using driftwood and another using new material that I'll make look old. In these containers, I'll plant popcorn grass, lettuce, regular grass, and a mix of seeds meant for eating in used food cans that I'll also make look old and see how that turns out

This video is all about unpacking and assembling wooden construction sets, also named science experiments, learning projects, and so on at Temu. I bought a pile of them to study their mechanisms and see if I could use any of them for my future projects. There are like 17 or so different sets here, most were ok to assemble, while a couple failed due to crappy translated Chinese instruction pamphlets

In this video, I'll take a pile of various bottles, glasses, and jam jars and turn them into decorative poison and potion jars, experimenting with various colors and contents. Most of them turned out crappy while some became very cool, earning a permanent place in my home

I have a bunch of drilling tools for making holes in wood, but nowhere to keep them gathered, so in this video, I'll take some driftwood and make the coolest tool holder in the world. The result turned out better than expected, and it's crazy how life-like the cat turned out, you can barely tell it's made out of wood

[tinkertime1911]

In this video, I'll experiment with making new wood look old using vinegar and steel wool to form iron acetate. This detailed video walks you through the step-by-step process of achieving a sun-weathered effect on wood while explaining the science behind the formation of iron acetate, the role of black tea, and why the vinegar and steel wool solution reacts with wood the way it does

Today I’m creating a unique and functional tool holder for a bunch of chisels using driftwood I found by the shore and small magnets purchased from Temu. This simple yet stylish tool holder not only keeps the chisels organized, but it also adds a rustic touch to the workshop. This is a simple craft anyone can make, requiring only the mentioned ingredients and basic tools like a handsaw, glue, electric screwdriver, hammer, and nails

In this video, I will turn a block of wood I found by the shore into a marvelous DIY home gym driftwood workout contraption that can be used for various exercises, like biceps, shoulders, and legs. I have ordered lots of workout bands on Temu that I will try to use for this creation, and I will turn an old tool shaft that I also found by the shore into a barbell for biceps workouts

A lava lamp is a decorative lighting fixture invented by Edward Craven Walker in 1963. In this video, I'll break a brand new one that I bought on Amazon for 17 bucks, all in the name of curiosity. What do the contents of the lava lamp smell and taste like? I just had to find out.. If you are unfamiliar with lava lamps and how they operate, I have included a little guide below

In this video, I will be unboxing my 4. big order from Temu, containing mostly hobby stuff I will be using for upcoming videos. I also ordered some clothes and other things too, like shoes, shorts, and a remote-controlled rat. This order contains 34 items and the total price ended up at around $175

I got my hands on a 3D printed alien fetus that I thought could be cool to make a lamp of, using my cheap LED lights that I bought on Temu some time ago. This creation turned out quite awesome, and it will definitely get a permanent place somewhere in my home. This video shows you how you too can make something like this easily with an empty jar, a LED light, some food coloring, basic tools, and any item of your choosing to stuff down into the jar

[tinkertime1911]

In this second video of unboxing stuff I have ordered from Temu, I spent $269 on mostly hobby-related stuff that I will use for upcoming projects. I also ordered a cheap soldering iron and rotary tool kit that can come in handy, as well as some more headwear for the next winter

I will try the plastic milk experiment in this episode of TinkerTime. By adding a bit of vinegar to hot milk, you get curds that can be molded into shapes, which will then become as hard as plastic when the moist has evaporated
