You can LED light the whole epoxy portion. You can tint the epoxy blue for rivers and such.

 

Y'all are just full of brilliant ideas that are going to cost me more money

 

Always happy to help others spend their money. Lord knows I’m good at spending money I don’t have.

 

Hey man.. we provide the ideas.. you just gotta make it happen!

 

So.. all this talk about epoxy has me watching YouTube videos etc.. I'm wondering if any of you have used epoxy and if so.. what brand(s) etc.. any tips hints or suggestions are also welcome.

 

I have a tiny bit. Cant use cheap epoxy is the biggest thing

 

Yes and ProMarine Supply is one of the best out there. You need to follow directions really well with it especially when it comes to temps and such. Dries nice and hard so you get a good finish. It’s not cheap about $60 for a gallon each of the A and B but it’s worth it. You can buy it on Amazon also.

 

Thank you.. I was looking at the Total Boat stuff and never heard of ProMarine.. but a google search confirms that it ranks higher than many others and seems worthwhile to investigate. !

 

No problem. It’s good stuff.

 

Too many damn ideas! HAHAHA

 

Ya. I was thinking of something earlier but can’t afford it. It’s something to go along with the masks though. My wife works for a title 1 school which means low income. In her class right now she has 8 kids who don’t have a computer they can use to do school work. I was thinking about buying some Raspberry Pis and building a cheap computer they can use to do their school work. I can 3D print the case for it. I think I can build them along with buying a monitor keyboard and a mouse for under $150 each.

 

Man that's awesome! You need to get this idea out and see if you can get the go fund me thing to fund this!

 

I’m looking for the parts and stuff I would need for one right now. I thought I had 2 raspberry pi’s here but I can’t seem to find them which means they must be in storage

I want to print the case so it can just attach to the monitor so it all needs as little space as possible.

 

That's an awesome idea!

 

I need some help from you builders out there. I'd like to attach wood shelves to a 3/4" thick wood wall hanger but I want to avoid visible L-brackets on the face of the hanger.

I don't have any experience building shelves and I don't know a good way to secure a 4-1/2" wide by 1/2" thick floating shelf that will hold the weight of 8 or so bottles without bowing or leaning forward... say supporting 25 pounds over a 2' shelf.

Do you think a long screw straight through the back of the hanger into the shelf will be enough if I space the screws relatively close together? I worry that I'd need more support for the shelves than just an attachment through the back of the hanger, but I have no idea what the load capabilities are or if I would need to use thicker materials to add strength.



I thought about adding L-brackets through a slot in the wall hanger so they'd attached from the back side of the hanger and be secured with short screws. Not sure if this is overkill though or if I'd need to use thicker material for the screws to bite into. I'm probably just overthinking this, but I'd hate to get this thing built and then go to use it only to find out it can't serve the purpose I want it to serve.



What do y'all think? Please help me to stop racking my brain

Cool, thanks. The only problem with those is they rely on 1" thick shelves. Maybe I can find some thinner ones. I really want to keep these at 1/2" thick for spacing purposes.

Same issue as the others. I may have to scrap that design and attempt a different approach.
