In today's video, I'll be showing you guys exactly how difficult
It really is to make a Japanese foil Mirror-ball using nothing
But aluminum foil and elbow grease then after seeing a million people make plastic cup speakers
I wanted to find out how loud they are compared to other methods?
Using a decibel reader plus more things you guys dared me to do in the comment section
In the last video I asked you guys to tell me about your greatest fear and your answers were terrifying and
Funny and then back to very terrifying and still somehow back to funny again
It was a roller coaster, but since you guys came up with so many comments. I thought I'd ask another question
What is something that has unexpectedly changed your life for the better?
It could be something like meeting your significant other or guessing all the answers right on a test
You didn't study for just put whatever you can come up with in the comment section
I'll be featuring ten of my favorite answers in the next video that and keep leaving your dares now
Let's get this thing going for the first life hack. We're gonna be attempting to make a Japanese foil Mirror ball out of aluminum foil and
These things have taken over the Internet in the past month or so and of course I had to find out what it takes to
Make one of these viral silver balls, so I had to do it
There's been too many people making these foil balls
And I had to see how it's done
But most of the ones I've seen people just give up like halfway through and they don't finish the project out and so I want
To figure out how long it actually takes to make one of these things
And if I'm going to die of old age in the process now my goal is to really finish the whole project until
I just destroyed my tin foil box
My goal is to finish the entire project and actually have something worth keeping when I'm done
I have no idea how this is gonna turn out, but I'm hopeful with that being said let's get this thing going so
If you're following along at home all you do is use a giant sheet of tin foil roll it up into a ball and then
Hit it with a hammer on every side until it turns into a circle
I'm going to be starting with a miniature sledgehammer, but I have other hammers if need be so we'll see what works best
While doing this I could definitely tell the sledgehammer was doing more damage which was good
But it was very difficult for it to keep shape so most of the time
I was just using the normal hammer and overall I'd say I'd hit this thing for about 4 hours or so
So here's my metal ball so far it looks pretty good
I think I've gotten it down to about the size of a golf ball
And there's cracks all over it that you guys probably can't really see from there
but I think I can make it a lot better than this even I'm gonna hit it with the hammer a few more times and
Then I'm gonna start polishing this thing up this time around. I was really just trying to hit it softly so I could shape it
Now I'm gonna hit it with the sandpaper for this part
I'm just sanding it with very fine 320 grit sandpaper, and I'm also polishing it with a bearing cleaner. That's similar to a wd-40 and
Here is my Japanese foil Mirrorball, or as close as I can get to in one day
I am actually very happy with the outcome here. It's more like a brushed nickel
It's not exactly mirror, but you can definitely see a lot of reflection in it, and it is solid as a rock
Or solid as a metal ball because that's kind of what it is (no it is)
There's a couple of cracks in it, but nothing too major
I really like this thing and I'm super happy that I made it whoever came up with this trend
Good for you. I'm gonna put this somewhere safe now now
let's find out what the deal is with everyone making cup speakers and welcome back to the yoga dungeon for another episode of
Does that stupid stuff really work where sometimes I try stupid stuff and it works
Sometimes it doesn't
I should really call my series something like that either way what we're going to be doing now is taking a look at a DIY
Phone speaker system that has probably been posted more than a billion time's least over
9000 and that's an old meme we're gonna be comparing that with what I think is a better life hack only this time we're gonna
Be using an actual decibel reader...
that i downloaded on my Iphone?
I don't know how well it works
But it's going to be okay because they're both gonna be using the exact same tool to measure the loudness
So it's an even playing field that being said let's get this thing going okay
So you guys have probably seen this a million times?
But just in case I'm gonna go through how to make a stupid DIY speaker system and by stupid...
I mean stupid brilliant, okay
We'll just get this thing going it actually did prove to be a little bit more difficult than I thought okay
So I come to find out that it's actually pretty difficult to cut through these things and actually do a good job
So what I'm gonna
Be doing is trying to melt my way through it using this paper
But not sure how long I have to heat it for but probably a while
Okay, I got a glowing red now, so it should just sink right through this
Yeah
(satisfying)
That is working a lot better than the knife smells like someone's smoking in here
But other than that doing a pretty good job
This method of cutting through plastic is actually a really good life hack all on its own
I've even seen people tape the paper clip to the lighter to make it more of an all-in-one device
So that's pretty cool, too
And that is easily the best looking hole I've made so far. That's crazy. I'm gonna probably need to widen it out a bit
But other than that that's pretty good
Alright that's about as good as that's gonna get I may have ripped it a little bit right here. The look all better perfect
That's gonna work great now. Just to help seal up any gaps that there may be I'll put a little bit of tape here
Too there we go now, that's a snug fit this one was already pretty good
I don't even know if I can get that back in there. That's what she said and boom! now does this look absolutely stupid
Yes, of course it does is it gonna work?
I mean probably not but are we gonna try it anyways you bet that being said okay? Well good enough
Let's get this thing going so if I look a week older
Because I am recently after shooting the first part of this video
I went to a YouTube convention, and it was fun, so I didn't upload anything and then towards the end of the trip
I got a terrible toothache which did not go away until I had the tooth
Extracted pretty disgusting and my face was swelled out to here, and I had to wait for it to go back down
But now we're finally back here, and we're gonna find out
What is louder this stupid thing that I built or this stupid thing that somebody else built?
We're gonna be playing the music on an iPhone 7, and I downloaded a decibel reader on this old tablet
Which I really love? Here's the decibel reader app and I'm gonna take my phone out of the case
I'm gonna click Play, and then I'll hold up the decibel reader, and we'll see what kind of numbers. We're getting
(music plays)
The highest number I got this thing to go up to was 82 y'all saw it now were gonna
Try it again only this time
We're just gonna be using a wineglass or I think this is more of a water glass whatever. It's fancy. We're gonna use it
(music plays)
Okay, well while it was probably way too close to call by my ear this actually really helped us out
And it let us know that if you're willing to make one of these stupid contraptions
You might get an extra half a decibel out of your speaker system and to me
That means that it's louder and louder is better. I can't believe this thing was actually louder
I totally made fun of these things before and thought there's no way it was gonna be louder than putting it in this
Because this is just more rigid. It's kind of shaped for acoustics even but louder is louder and this is
Undeniably louder according to this cheap decibel reader on an old tablet
Nothing said we're onto the next error now if you guys have seen most of my recent videos
I tried a hot glue gun hack
That was supposed to be able to salvage my old flip-flops, but it failed miserably, so we're gonna try something different
So I'm not really sure how much longer we can keep trying to call this a life hack
But really more or less just me trying to fix something that I should have given up on a long time ago
and that is these stupid sandals I tried fixing them with hot glue in a video and
As I told you in that video it did not work
Apparently hot glue is not good for everything so when you got this stuff
I have no idea what it is, but it it's meant to repair jewelry fabric wood ceramic and a lot of other stuff
But those other things are in Spanish we won't ever get to know what those are
I was actually intending to get a product called shoe goo, but with that many zeros
It's some kind of ooh and after reading the back it actually sounds like something that might work
It doesn't say though that it's going to take 48 to 72 hours for it to be completely done
I guess that's the curing time which is fine because I'm going out of town this weekend anyways
So I figured I'd repair these and then see what's it like when I get back my guess is
It's probably gonna be fine now to assist me in this process
I'm gonna be using clamps
Got my shoe. Goo ready to go broken sandals that I should have given up on a long time ago
looks like we're ready to make a mess that has a
Really strong smell to it definitely want to make sure that I do this part, right?
I'm just gonna hold that down while I do the other side now if this works
It'll actually be something cool that you could use at home to fix your shoes
All right I
Mean it's already holding together pretty well
I
Don't even think I'm gonna have to clamp this now a lot of the times when something takes longer to dry
It just means that it's going to be better in terms of longevity
After you're done
So I got no problem waiting for these to actually work seeing as how?
They basically sat in my shower for like a year. I really like them
That's kind of why I didn't throw them away
They never looked like garbage to me as I scanned over the bathroom looking for things to throw away
I mean obviously they are garbage, but I didn't see it that way
And I am glad I didn't they actually held together just fine. I've kind of been wearing them
It's almost like they're brand new again. I mean these things are on there. They're not coming off
I feel totally confident in wearing these things out
I never thought I'd get to wear my favorite pair of flip-flops again
And the magical e 600 goo or whatever that is had saved the day
So I'm pretty happy about that put my flip-flops back on now
