Channel Title: Cactus! workshop Channel Description: A workshop on the top of a building, cheap tools, stuff and some stupidity <video> My 2x72 Belt Grinder from Scrap Description: I was tired of my cheap belt sander stopping whenever I pushed anything against it so I got serious!. I improvised this 2x72 belt grinder mostly with scraps and parts I had laying around. (I did buy the belts though :D) As it was totally improvised, I didn't follow any drawings, just checked other belt grinders on youtube. That is probably why I fail a few times during the process. I did plan a bit the table as it has a lot of holes in crazy strategic positions :) I hope this helps you build yours! engineering!!! I managed to loose the CAD model but here are the templates of the table layout, I hope it helps!: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jebU0GGzeJep2yFl92xvpFcd4b3GxCv0 This was a great exercise combining welding, machining, milling, and mostly any tool I have in my shop, so it was super fun. (also a bit scary sometimes :D). And I ended up hacking together all kinds of parts, from washing machines to clothes hangers. Great machine! Follow Cactus!

Description: I've always been fascinated by these arabic/islamic patterns ever since I saw them in Alhambre when I was a kid. They are super interesting on lattice work, as they create a great see-through effect. I wanted to make a cabinet with something like this so here it is!. Creating the vector version of this geometry was a very interesting challenge and in the end the design turned out great! The x-carve of course did a great job!! So in the end is a great mix of woodworking and technology featuring a really old design that I am super happy with. I hope you like it!

It was covered in dirt and the handle was just a poorly crafted branch. Time to change that! It seems to be very good steel, so I decided to give it a new life and try a proper tool restoration! I cleaned the faces and built a new handle with the help of my friends Fran and Sergio (Thanks guys!) the shou sugi ban thing came out very nice! It is a great hand tool and I guess it would work well for blacksmithing or just smashing beer cans. What do you think? Done in collaboration with @FerrallasyMovidas Follow Cactus!

Description: Stay safe with this easy to make key! Here is how I forged it out of steel but it should be very easy to do with aluminium! Definitely a nice way to use your workshop. Make them for others! Help against #covid19 :) DIY solutions have always been the best. And wash your hands! :D As you can see I made a double hook in this key instead of just a normal one. This helps to reach tight spacers or handles. Also the thumb support is great when you are pushing. And definitely it is super easy to hold hanging in your pocket, so it's not a pain to grab it to open something! Very easy to use. This is a great homemade gadget to avoid touching handles or knobs that might have been infected. Good for drawers, buttons and switches also! Anyway disinfect it regularly as frequently as you wash your hands to avoid cross-contamination! Let me know if you would have done something differently! Follow Cactus!
