You can make any knot, even a double knot if your rubber band is thin. Just as long as the knot is large enough for the loop to catch on. Thanks for watching!

There are some wheels that have a screws to replace the wheels. If not, some people cut them off with a hack saw and replace with a screw or bolt, which can be a lot of work, but if you look it up, they show how to do it. Here's a video that shows this method. ua-cam.com/video/kV3A6nfFCrE/v-deo.htmlsi=mN5fvDOWhX_WPh-B Otherwise, you might want to return the wheels and look for the complete wheel assembly. You could also contact the manufacturer of your suitcase and see if they have wheel replacements. We just did that and the suitcase manufacture sent us two sets of replacement wheels for $15 ea. Thanks for watching!

It will thicken a little more as it cools, which is good when applying to kill mold on tiles and other cleaning chores. Some people use it in a large syringe or squeeze bottle to draw patterns on dark colored clothes and wash right away after the desired effects. The thickness prevents it from running. And it's best to use it within a day or two, because it will start to thin after that. Thanks for watching! Make sure to use gloves! You don't want any household bleach like this, to come into contact your skin.

Some people like to record through the headphone port for the stereo. You have to use the splitter for that, otherwise the sound is terrible. Or, as you said, you can run direct via USB. In this video, I demonstrated both methods and compared the sound. I personally prefer using the USB direct, using the Spark as an interface, because it's easier to do and I really couldn't hear a difference. Thanks for watching!

@@StevenParente I could hear a little bit of a difference with the splitter and some of the areas I thought it sounded a little better and I’m running on an iPad so I’m having to use a camera adapter which only has one USB connection on it. I wouldn’t be able to plug the Spark right up to the camera adapter. From other videos I’ve seen people say it tries to connect automatically through Bluetooth, which obviously creates latency so I would probably have to use the splitter. Have you ever tried the iPad route or iPhone?

@@feedthewolf6930 No, I've never tried with an iPad. If you get it down, I bet some people would be very interested if you were to make a few "how to" videos about doing it!

@@StevenParente well if the splitter thing works than it should work even in GarageBand bc I’d just be running that splitter to the interface and then the interface into usb camera adapter for iPhone. I’m curious if just wasn’t sounding good without the splitter on your end because of the program you’re using. I wonder if it was on Reaper or just any other program if you would still need the splitter. All I know is I don’t wanna buy a splitter if I don’t have to use it lol have you tried using just a single 1/8 to 1/4 in a different program?

@@feedthewolf6930 You definitely need the splitter. Maybe you didn't see the link in my description, because it was down a ways, but check out this article "How do I record from my guitar amp’s headphone out?": www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/q-how-do-record-my-guitar-amps-headphone-out

You can add worscestershire, that would taste good. Some people add lime juice, honey, etc. The main thing is to have an equal proportion of sweet, sour and salty flavor. Thanks for watching!!!

Let it cool to about 90 degrees Fahrenheit before adding essential oils. If you're referring to the dispensers that mixes air into the soap when dispensing, that usually requires liquid soap that is more diluted than regular liquid soap, in order to efficiently mix the tiny air bubbles. If the liquid soap is too thick, it can't do this. My advice would be to follow the directions in this video, using 3 cups of water and then add maybe one, to two cups later, which will also help cool the mixture down. Mix and pour a little into your foaming dispenser and see if it foams up. If it doesn't, it probably needs to be diluted more. Take notes and do it incrementally! When you get the right amount of water, it should work every time afterwords. Thanks for watching!

Excellent! Glad it helped and your suitcase is rollin' again. I hate throwing away things that can be fixed. Thanks for watching!

I didn't have a problem with the evenness of the wheels. Did you? The purpose of this video was to try and fix your suitcase without having to buy a new one. There are many different suitcases and configurations, so trying a "one size fits all", isn't possible. My lining wasn't broken, they didn't include a zip tab to keep the seem hidden. But it was easy to open, as you can see in the video, and much better than having to cut the lining and tape back up. You have to search to find the wheels that will fit your suitcase. However, you can also contact the suitcase manufacturer and ask if they have replacement wheels available to buy. Maybe not all of them will respond, but recently we purchased a little larger suitcases for an upcoming trip, and I wanted back-up wheels, but I couldn't find the exact match. So... I emailed the brand after looking up the company from the tag on the suitcase and they emailed back and I was able to purchase new wheels for $15 per set of left and right wheels, plus $3 dollars shipping. If you are having difficulty finding wheels, try contacting the company. Also, this is how I look for replacement wheels if I'm unable to buy from the company. This is how I found the wheels for this video. Measure your suitcase and look online for your brand model. If there isn't a brand name on your suitcase, look for something close to your size of suitcases. I mainly search on Amazon. Find your brand model, or brands that look close to yours and are about the same size, and ones that have wheels that look similar to yours. When you find your brand, or a few online suitcases that look similar, search those brands for replacement wheels. You'll find that the manufactures make wheels for several brands, because suitcase manufactures make almost the same suitcase for several companies. When you find a few set of wheels that look close, you can click on the photos for enlargements, and most will also have drawings available with measurements (especially on Amazon) and then measure your own wheels and find a set that is close to yours. Thanks for watching!

Sometimes the folks at where you buy your lumber will cut it for you, especially the smaller companies. I have cut with a fine tooth Japanese saw, but it takes time. I finally invested into a small Ryobi 9" ban saw and that has done well for cutting jobs like this, including making jigs and altering headstocks. If you go that route, be sure to go online and learn how to set up and adjust a ban saw. It made a huge difference than using it out of the box. Thanks for watching and best wishes for your guitar builds and mods!

I'll paste a couple of links that may be useful for you. Thanks for watching! help.positivegrid.com/hc/en-us/articles/8141122585869-Backup-Restore-Tone-Presets and ua-cam.com/video/nB9ZbYcoTG4/v-deo.htmlsi=ysksJDiFBRw-0g50

As long as you keep up on it, the wax works very well. But that's a really good track record, living so close to the ocean. I was busy/lazy last year and didn't do a clean and wax, and had to do a little sanding and painting🙄. But it still looks good. Thanks for watching, and rewatching!🙂

Absolutely. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I'll revise the titles on all the videos, at least in the text and description. The series grew organically, starting from the unboxing, which is now number 1 of 4. Thanks for watching! FYI - There's a forth video of finishing the kit and playing to hear how it sounds! ua-cam.com/video/_tprT9hZIKw/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB

I suggest you measure your suitcase and look online for your brand model. Search for (Your brand) "Samsonite replacement wheels". Also, look for something close to your size of suitcases.

Yes, I hear you. Fortunately our building has had low theft rates for packages. Good neighbors! Thank you for watching!

The wheels from Amazon and the Timberland suitcase from Ross. Thanks for watching!

Yes, exactly. Thanks for watching!

I didn’t have a reaction, although it does have a smell until the UV light cures it. Much less than oil based products. It sounds like you might want to try out water based products. Thanks for watching!

That's right! Thanks for watching,

Thanks for watching and asking about a follow up video. Other people and things took priority over the past couple years. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back to these guitars soon and finish them.

@@StevenParente Years.....What a waste of time!

⁠Not really. I’ve been doing a lot of traveling, taking classes on recording and mastering, song writing, guitar classes. Also teaching a few classes. Never a dull moment. I’ll be posting more videos and finishing these guitars up. Thanks for watching!

The rust converter is used if your door has rust. Many people just apply the wax on a new door, but if they have rust, using the wire brush (as shown in the video) to remove flakes and rust, and the rust converter is used to neutralize the rust and stop it from spreading. Then paint and apply the wax after the paint has completely dried. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!

Ok thanks... what about that white ceramic spray?

@@SmartySmartsThat’s to cover over the rust converter, which looks black when the rust is neutralized. My door is white and that can of paint is the closest. Made my door look new when the retouching was finished and the wax was applied.

@@StevenParente thank you!😊

@@SmartySmarts 😊

I can't remember, but I think around $300 for guitar parts. I was also investing in luthier tools (which was more and continue to buy luthier tools when needed), in order do all the work on my guitars. I've also built several guitars from parts and kits and sold them since this video was made, and also have done a few full fret jobs for people. This upgrade was the first step in the journey of learning how to work on guitars. If you look at the links in the description, by clicking "more", you can follow them and get an idea of the cost of various parts. Thanks for watching!

You have Gain, Master, and Output controls, all of which can increase DB's to your DAW. Increase your Gain to the edge of break-up for a bluesy sound or pull back for a clean tone. Then adjust the Master and then Output to your DAW. You also have controls in your DAW to increase the DB's. For digital recording, The optimum recording levels for a DAW, (Digital Audio Workstation) is -18 to -12 db, which is way less than an analog set up. I remember with analog, we would run hotter. But for DAW's See: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www.sweetwater.com/insync/ideal-level-record-tracks-daw/%23:~:text%3DFor%2520dynamic%2520tracks%252C%2520the%2520recommended,between%2520%252D18dB%2520and%2520%252D12dB.&ved=2ahUKEwia_bTY9-uFAxXvHkQIHWl0AFwQFnoECA4QAw&usg=AOvVaw3C6ncqlrwgk8_7I42k4lgj

You have a great UA-cam channel! I subscribed.

Also, if you are going through an interface like the Scarlet, you need to adjust up, to just below the yellow for the highest DB's when recording, or a little red/orange to avoid distortion.

Many thanks for your advice! Seems like I have to increase gain then, when using USB. Master is at ten already and the output knob doesn't seem to affect usb. As I was going for a clean tone my gain is pretty low, other volume cranked, but over all way too quiet. Increasing in my DAW later on sadly brings a lot of white noise. Aux via focusrite scarlett has no volume issues, but strangely my tone sounds completely off. So it's either more gain using USB or getting a new sound profile for headphone out. I'll experiment a bit. Thanks again 👌

@@svenneudecker You hear a big difference between the headphone port vs. the USB when using the 3.5mm 1/8" TRS to Dual 6.35mm 1/4" TS Mono Stereo Y-Cable Splitter Cord? It's important to use the splitter, or it sounds really bad. As for the USB direct, you might double check the Master Volume and the Output just before recording. I have often had the Spark automatically cut the db's when I was switching between or modifying tones. Then I would just twist the knobs slightly and the output became much louder. I don't know why, except that maybe there is a global setting within the amp that reverts to a lower output until you manually override??? I don't know and I haven't asked anyone at Positive Grid, because they're not very responsive.

Thank you for watching!

Nice!!! Rory Gallagher was amazing. I still enjoy watching videos with him playing and I learn a lot. Thanks for watching!

@@StevenParente you're very welcome my friend! 🙏🇬🇧🎸🤘

I've built a few Stewmac guitar kits and all turned out well and were high quality. I'm working on a couple right now. I usually by the Wilkinson Stewmac kits and the components are very good and I've sold a few finished ones. You can listen to how this completed kit sounds at: ua-cam.com/video/_tprT9hZIKw/v-deo.htmlsi=Yow2udO3k6Bwu7Q7 Go about 33 minutes in. I've never heard of occasion guitar kits. Do you have a link?

Depending on the manufacturing company, Squier guitars can be very good. See my video about the Squier Stratocaster I upgraded: ua-cam.com/video/XxpS6k0sZ9o/v-deo.htmlsi=5Iq22e4GlLNEU7wT. This is my main slide guitar now. I wound special pickups for it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for asking. I was making and selling a few, but I need to find a place, or affordable monthly rent for a shop. where I can make a lot of noise and set up a little production line. I live in a condo. If I do, I'll message you. Thanks for watching. If you have any questions on making one yourself, ask anytime and links to most of the components are in the description, you just have to click the more link.

@@StevenParente Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm 73 and always love the steel guitar but could never afford one

@@blueykoala2687 Search online for this very affordable Rogue RLS-1 Lap Steel guitar. It has a good sound, with legs that screw into the body if you want it to sand alone instead of in your lap. And it comes with a case. They range from around $149 - $169. This was the first lap steel I owned. I upgraded it a little by adding a metal nut, which was really easy to do. You can find kits online to increase the scale if you want. I just sold mine in December. If you buy one of these, and you want to learn Hawaiian style steel, you'll need heavier strings for C6 open tuning, which is one of the popular tunings for Hawaiian steel. Something like these strings amzn.to/49H5E0N For other open tunings, a medium set would be good, like this: amzn.to/3UpunlW I found the Shubb - SP1 tone bar, to be the easiest one for me to learn with: amzn.to/4d6vqyE. Here's a great UA-cam channel by Troy Brenningmeyer, to start learning. www.youtube.com/@LessonsWithTroy Pick up a good little practice amp and I think you'll have fun. Aloha!

@@StevenParente Thank you so much, I will look for it.

@@StevenParente I just look up the Rogue Steel guitar I bought one, thank you so much for you trouble doing that for me. You are a true gentlemen in helping an old man

Or your batteries. I never did use batteries in mine. Thanks for watching!

Nice!

Thanks for watching and best wishes on your upgrade! Take your time and don't worry about doing it quickly. You are going to learn a lot! When you replace your tremolo block and set up the floating bridge, be very careful with your whammy bar. Do not put any pressure on it if it isn't moving. If the block isn't moving, something needs to be adjusted. I snapped my whammy bar on the first attempt. Check out this link: ua-cam.com/video/9CkrKdQR6_g/v-deo.html

Yes, I thought at first I was going to have to cut the lining, but found the zipper. If I did need to cut, I would have used black duck tape, or black gaffer tape to seal it back up. Both hold well, but can be removed and taped again. Thanks for watching!

@@StevenParente you are most welcome and thanks for your reply. I have the same wheel. I will search this link that you provided.

The brand name of my suitcase is Timberland. The link of the wheels that I bought is: amzn.to/3UTbpEI However, it's showing unavailable now. But there are very similar wheels showing below in the Products related to this item section, that are available and might work.

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have replacement wheels, and are looking for more? I couldn't find any listings for Chaps Luggage in Amazon, and not many in online searches. If you have replacement wheels, or you have your old wheels, measure them, search in Amazon and see if you can find wheels that look the same. Most all the replacement wheels have diagrams and measurements. If you find something with the same measurements and it looks the same, there's a good chance it will fit. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Thanks for your commentary and for watching!

Mistakes I had to go through to learn. You can watch videos and read books to learn something like this, but until you actually do it, you don't really know what you're doing. For me, it was not chiseling out a little wood in the cavity to make the new controls fit better, especially after applying the copper tape. I went back in and did that later. Learning how to solder properly and buying a good soldering iron with temperature controls. This made a HUGE difference. Learning how to take out the springs properly, by loosening the claw screws all the way. Mainly dumb things that I had to learn the hard way. I even broke the whammy bar (which is really easy to break and many guitarists have broken theirs), until I found videos on setting up the floating bridge properly from Fender. Check out: ua-cam.com/video/9CkrKdQR6_g/v-deo.htmlsi=HC6gCRkke6o--pdL Since this video was made four years ago, I've made a few guitars and sold them and have talked with several luthiers. Most of them started out working in shops and learning from skilled luthiers, but all of them said they made several mistakes in the beginning. AND... learning how to fix your mistakes, is all part of being a luthier! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Kevin!

Ha! Thanks for watching!
