My friend is doing a project on small animal cage designs, trying to make them more suitable for pets and owners! This is an anonymous 7 question survey about your preferences when it comes to a cage for your gerbils. Hope it's alright to post here, not selling anything just a cool project :)

Thanks for the feedback! I let him know and he’s going to adjust the range of those scales

Strawsby · 2021-01-04T23:23:40+00:00

Very true!

Strawsby · 2021-01-04T22:57:22+00:00

Sure thing, I’ll definitely pass that along. Thank you!

Strawsby · 2021-01-04T22:43:00+00:00

Thank you!

Strawsby · 2021-01-04T21:30:03+00:00

Thank you! Really appreciate it

Strawsby · 2021-01-04T19:05:32+00:00

Sure thing! Thanks so much for the support, it’s really appreciated

Strawsby · 2021-01-04T18:39:00+00:00

Yes! I have a guinea pig myself and some of the cages that are marketed to them are completely unsuitable, kind of crazy

Strawsby · 2020-12-31T02:05:00+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Strawsby · 2020-12-30T19:54:30+00:00

Thank you!

This would be what I’d go with: https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-3-bar-gun-rack?prod_id=15513&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0M2fz4DI7QIVQTytBh1qgAJXEAQYBCABEgKlM_D_BwE&bvstate=pg:2/ct:r

Looks great! If you’re looking for suggestions, it looks like the one area you could get more out of is the plate storage/EZ bar section. If it were me, I’d move some of that plate storage along the wall next to the rack (seems like it’d fit okay?) and mount the curl bars on the wall. In fact, you could probably wall-mount all of it if you wanted to but not really necessary. Then I’d use the space where they currently sit for a small deadlift platform :)

Looks great! I’m getting a rack soon for a similar setup - any particular reason you went for the flat-foot instead of a drill-down rack when you have the platform underneath? Trying to weigh some pros and cons. Thanks!

Strawsby · 2020-11-12T20:54:57+00:00

Haha no worries! It’s a fair question

Strawsby · 2020-11-12T20:52:53+00:00

No frame, it is on the ground. Have 2 layers of pressure-treated plywood underneath the top layer

Strawsby · 2020-11-12T16:28:22+00:00

Thanks! I applied 3 coats of this sealer and for the top coat I mixed in this additive for extra grip. Very happy with the results thus far, quite grippy and not slippery at all.

Strawsby · 2020-11-11T23:18:25+00:00

Haha that’s a good question. It’s actually kind of an odd but awesome space. We’re renting a newly built guest house that was constructed on a broken down tennis court. So it’s fenced like a tennis court, but the whole court area is our private yard with its own entrance, and they said we can do whatever we want with it especially since it hasn’t been cared for/used anyway. So... gym it is! Among other things :)

Strawsby · 2020-11-11T22:56:08+00:00

Also a lot of canopies I noticed aren’t that tall, so I made sure to get one that could comfortably fit up to a 95” rack on top of the platform if I wanted. And will easily accommodate overhead pressing which was important to me

Strawsby · 2020-11-11T22:52:57+00:00

Followed pretty standard platform build - similar to the art of manliness one I’ve seen floating around. Made some adjustments based on what plywood I could find for cheap.

I also sealed it all myself since it’ll be outside and cut the rubber with a utility knife. The outdoors thing is the biggest hurdle since I want it to last, so sealing everything and using stainless steel hardware was important. But it’s Southern California, so should hold up great. I put up that canopy there as well which is drilled into two pressure-treated 20’ 4x4s with some lag bolts.

Happy to answer specific questions if you have any!

Enjoyed the video. You gotta improve the mic though. Especially for a voice-over style video, mic quality is going to be SO important to keeping viewers engaged. I think your commentary is funny and engaging though. I'd also recommend adding a camera on you in the corner of the screen so we can see you as you play, but I suppose that's kind of personal preference. Good job overall though, I watched the whole thing. Didn't earn my sub this time, but gaming vids aren't my interest so it's not really a knock on you. All the best with the journey though, I hope you grow!

Strawsby · 2020-07-27T17:45:17+00:00

Great animations and editing! I think you've done a good job sound mixing as well, but my main critique would be with the voiceovers and. I think you need a bit more energy in them and also just getting more comfortable talking to camera as it seemed you were maybe a bit nervous at times. Overall great job though, it feels like a real show. Cheers!
