Way nice video there, I really like your cycle overlays too! Must remember that tip.

What a cool machine, a "bendix" dishwasher would have looked like that. I love the way the top panels slope up and out to the counter, you don't see that in modern appliances much!

It looks like you have a real nice appliance studio there, the glass in the background opens it up to gales of sunlight. Did you rehab a garage?

Pete (rollermatic): Thanks Pete. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, it will be interesting if you fit a piece of Plexiglas to your Modern Maid dishwasher – would like to compare the speed of the roto-tray in yours. Clamping the Plexiglas to the tub is difficult – I am still trying to figure out how I can improve it.

Re – recording video: The camera that I am using is a Sony Cyber-Shot model DSC-H7. It is mainly a point and shoot camera with video capability. Movies are recorded on a Memory Stick. I can either move the memory stick to my laptop, or connect the camera to the computer via a USB cord. After the video is transferred, I use Microsoft’s Movie Maker, which came with my laptop. Movie Maker allows me to segment the video as many times as I need, so that I can separate out the portions of the video I want to include in the movie, and which portions I want to discard. Then it is a matter of dragging the desired clips to a timeline; inserting transitions; adding text overlays; and tweaking until I’m satisfied.


Jon (Jetcone): Thanks. Glad you like the overlays. Yes, I keep thinking of ways to improve my videos and I felt that was an important thing to include this time, especially since I had to edit out 25 minutes from the entire cycle. Yes, I too like the design of the sink cabinet.

My “test shop” is really a 3-seasons, southern facing, sun room – which I call my Solarium (see photo). It was added onto the house several years prior to me buying this house in 2005.

Sunlight washer studio!
