More video!

I'm going to be away from my computer for most of the day and I just started the upload as I write this. So you'll want to give a it a few hours before trying to watching it.

This is the last of this video rush I've been on. There may be another one in the next few weeks. I'm trying to get really fa...

MailCall 0x04: Mail from viewers like you!

AkBKukU post MailCall 0x04: Mail from viewers like you! from patreon

Slight spoiler, I've already assembled the AdLib from this and recorded a video about it. But I don't know how I'm going to edit it because there are some inevitably long parts of soldering with no talking. So I may need to come up with some music for it before I can release it.

Compaq Portable Repair history & Foam and Foil Keyboard Repair

AkBKukU post Compaq Portable Repair history & Foam and Foil Keyboard Repair from patreon

Edit: I forgot to add the text.

This video ended up being a bit more than I thought it would be. Primarily it was about repairing the keyboard on my Compaq Portable. But it turned out to have had quite a lot of work done to it so it was fun discovering all that. I'm really happy with the final results though! This comp...

AkBKukU post 10Gb Ethernet Cooling Mod and Testing from patreon

I had a bunch of delays on video projects (The DOS PC build has begun) but I was finally able to get the 10Gb network setup! Editing this video from the server worked like a dream! It's so nice to have my old workflow back and is going to make recording videos much easier now since I can offload the recording SSDs to the serv...

Little video on recent pick up

AkBKukU post Little video on recent pick up from patreon

You may have seen this already but I picked up this Roland Atelier AT-90S the other day.

It's been eating up a bit of my time and I started rebuilding my lights and got stuck and had to order parts to be delivered tomorrow. I'm going to try to get a video recorded and edited tomorrow with one light, but we'll see how ...

LP-120 Phono Bypass Mod

AkBKukU post LP-120 Phono Bypass Mod from patreon

This video spiraled wildly out of control for complexity. I didn't expect it to be over 30m long. It was definitely in the top 10 for the longest time to edit. I'm still tempted to go back and hack out some of the less on topic stuff in the beginning.

But I wanted to be thorough and try to fully explain what was going...

Typewriter Correction Methods

I've gone back and finished this video now having added in the last method of correcting that I couldn't previously demonstrate.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for hanging in there while I was on an unexpected break from videos. I'm finishing up the Typewriter Correction video (I'm splitting it into two) and decided to record something I wouldn't normally record. I think I'm going to try doing this more often. It didn't take much more work on to...

New additional filming setup!

AkBKukU post New additional filming setup! from patreon

One of my goals for getting organized and getting stuff in storage was getting a new filming space. This isn't what I was talking about in the last supporter video where I said I could clean out a whole room. I'm going a bit smaller for right now. This is just maximizing the space I have.

But I'm pretty happy with it ...

Behind the scenes

AkBKukU post Behind the scenes from patreon

I've been really busy the last week or so because I decided I'm going to get a smaller intermediate storage unit different from the one I've mentioned before. I just needed to clear up some space in the area I film which between a few larger Goodwill and Craigslist finds recently coupled with viewer mail I hit a point where I...

I really hope it is viewed as one of my best videos because I put a lot more time and effort into it than usual. It was almost ready to be called done today. This is a fini...

There are a couple of less optimal spots in the edit and the color balancing was surprisingly challenging because there was not black reference. I guess I could really use a full color card.

This video ended up a lot more tutorial like than I anticipated. I'm okay with that and am curious to see how people like it. The...

Video Delays Update

I feel compelled to kind of give a run down of why videos have been delayed recently. I was thinking about making a update video about this but I decided I wanted to lay this out in text so I don't miss anything.

I think I've started to hit a point where I'm trying to push myself too hard to make heavily produced videos...

I'm planning on doing a stream tomorrow in lieu of a standard video which is far from ready. I needed to test my new streaming setup using my new camera so I recorded a video of it.
