Your videos are not stupid, they are genius, successful and I learn a lot from you. Thank you. Keep it up.

I may look stupid but I'm not that stupid . Tightened the chuck with his tongue out . Bro you nailed it

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

Lol thanks

@crazybanditt Год назад

I’ve just started looking into woodwork and this was a genuine thought of mine lol. No such thing as a stupid question.

@triggerfish13scuba23 Год назад

Same here. At least now I learned the easy way by watching this video. 😊

@fordv8man 2 года назад

What a great video!! Some people are way too serious, good work. The CNC in the background set it all off perfectly. Im a turner and want to texture a bowl rim and was planning to try this anyway. Im not going to die, its just wood. Ill do it with the lathe running as I want a rough finish for the texturing. Funnily enough Im not joking.

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

I think it’s it’s safe. Asking as you have both hands on the drill and you are ready to jump out of the way.

@EliBleu Год назад

You perform the tasks that I always wonder about. Good content

@mpowersmedia3219 7 месяцев назад

Being innovative with the tools you have without going out and buying a 200 dollar specialty tool is what it's all about here. I think it's a great video and I thought about it long ago and did it myself. Good job

@angryzombie8088 10 месяцев назад

Thank you sir, your contribution to the world of science is very much appreciated. I will now go buy a router bit for my hand drill to make a small groove instead of buying a whole router tool.

@augustinecs9472 Год назад

Thanks man really appreciate on what you doing. I'm about to do some project & search some sort of question & I've found this vid, now a new SUB 😆 Finally my question has been answered in an entertaining kind of way. Fun to watch though 😂

@rickhuffman2461 Год назад

It's a Jacobs chuck. The bit is to make a nice edge not drill a hole. Try running it along the edges. Drill a hole for the round trip one then move it side ways to make a slot. Love what u do.

I have often wondered about doing that Wes. Now I know how stupid of an idea it is! Thanks for cluing us in. 👍👍😂😂

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

No problem Steve! I figure you already knew it was a dumb idea… but there are a lot of people that lack common sense.

@jasonlee269 2 года назад

It's god damn funny. The RPM can't meet the request, but who knows what will happen with a low RPM. Thumbs up.🤣

@pwolfpapaw8474 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for this learning video. The last bit has some potential. How about trying it in a drill press. The bit will be stationary and perhaps you can maneuver the wood piece to make lettering or a design.

@csehszlovakze 10 месяцев назад

that's his older video

@jacobcarter5923 Месяц назад

That's my chuck! (Jacobs chuck) also, I think this is less useful for freehand carving and we're looking for a jig that makes it work just like a router.

@AltruisticWarrior 8 месяцев назад

Idk... I have a Flex hammer drill. It has a 1 and 2 speed option but also has a turbo as well. I accidentally had it set to 2 with turbo on when starting to mix a 100 gallon tote of paint and pesticide mix. It sheered one of the paddles almost immediately as paint went flying everywhere. Idk how fast that spins but it's fast!

@pikachuthegayatheist6215 Год назад

I see something interesting you’re trying to create canyons out of your wood for epoxy job this might be one of the better ways to do it. It creates a nice rough channel that you need for the canyon. Although it does seem you do need two hands on the drill to do the carving.

"your tools in your shop should be taken away" is just a hilarious statment to make imo😂

@Maggie77193 Год назад

For the sake of experimenting, what would happen if you drilled a large pilot hole before trying the router bit?

@Myopicvisions 2 года назад

My dad had a variable speed drill press where the head rotated 180 degrees to use as a router or shaper, so the drill press isn't that crazy of an idea.

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

That’s interesting. I have never heard of that

@Myopicvisions Год назад

@Jo Blo Nope.

@alanmcwilliams4264 2 года назад

Words fail me, experimentation is always interesting. Surprised you didn't try the drill in reverse

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

I thought about doing it in reverse. I don’t think much would happen

@complexity5545 Год назад

This line made me laugh: Why did I go for a knot.

@rockymountainradar8438 6 месяцев назад

While in Romania on a mission trip I used a straight router bit in a hand drill (no router existed there) to cut a channel through stucco to wire their sound system in a 350-year old church! Tricky but doable!!

@chadmatthews6500 Год назад

You need burnishing bits, like a router bit only has more grit to it. And a pilot hole to start might help

@HousewerkRecords Год назад

The V bit looks ok to do recessed hinges.

@dianalan5461 Год назад

I don't think it's a stupid idea. It's about saving cost with all the gadgets and tools out there. All the tools out there is to facilitate and making it more efficient. But the money goes to those manufactures that creates a tool for 'every' single job. I think it's more about how to stabilize your hand and putting your driller vertical and stable. If we can do that, it's the same purpose as the router. at least that my opinion.

@inspiringbuilds 2 года назад

Surprised I watched the full video. Definitely a bad idea, but thanks for trying. 👍🏼

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

I am surprised anyone is watching this lol. Thanks!

@nancyouellette6425 Год назад

You're cute! I ALWAYS get comments when neighbors watch my achievements; I am a 66 year old fan of tools and experimentation can be so unique with using safety first in being creative...tool on! Nancy

@tonysutton6559 2 года назад

Can we all play with router bits in drills at your birthday party? I want to try a big raiswd panel door bit spinning at 24,000 rpm on a piece of hickory.

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

Yep! You bring the hickory

@dawngraf3802 Год назад

I'm a beginner looking for extensions for my drill on Amazon and they had these...thanks for letting me know that's stupid, that you can't have too much control because of the kickback, don't do it again, just repost the same video.🤠👍

@mattcasdorph 10 месяцев назад

Actually this wouldn't be a bad idea, however you're not going to get the results free hand. But if someone could invent a universal attachment of a router/plunger that could hold the drill perfectly plum but then again it would just make more sense to buy a router. Routers are relatively cheap. The damn bits are what get expensive

@anitacordell895 9 месяцев назад

The bit doesn't know what's screwing it ! Do what you got to do .

@jennypockets Год назад

Since I know nothing about woodworking, asking if you can use a router bit in a hand drill is a valid question. Since the answer seems to be no my question will now be, can you make a straight hole or long hole, if that makes sense) in wood without a router, and if so, how? Thank you. (is it a mortise... goes all the way through?)

@WesHamstra Год назад

Yes you can. Start by marking it out where you want the mortise. Drill out as much of the wood as you can then clean up the mortise with a chisel

@jennypockets Год назад

@@WesHamstra Thank you. very much. I think you've solved my problem. :)

@haqehulme344 Год назад

@yebpilgrim 2 года назад

At least beginner woodworkers who have the idea, youtube it and watch this video learn something or two :D

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

I hope they RU-vid it first. Although. This is not as dangerous as using a drill drill press

@therespectedlex9794 Год назад

That bit in the thumbnail is bigger than any I've seen in a router video. Suitable for a large (1 to 3 inch) roundover?

@WesHamstra Год назад

It’s a 1 1/2” round over. I only put it in the drill for thumbnail purposes

@therespectedlex9794 Год назад

@@WesHamstra Looks big for a router too.

@videogameandlegoexplorer5738 2 года назад

@ravekid23 Год назад

If you built a frame to support the drill while moving it, it would probably be fine. Kind of like those people that DIY a drill press out of a hand drill.

@mnz1151 2 года назад

Well , I was looking for a video to use a drill to round the edges of a stair steps that I am fixing, and I don't want buy a router even if I could return it.

@anonymoususer3561 Год назад

Don't call yourself stupid, man... Many ideas are worth trying. Whether something works or not, the test is successful because it gave an answer...

@chaihard8664 9 месяцев назад

Watching this after buying a cheap router kit for my hand drill 😅

@kristajohnson9173 9 месяцев назад

rofl entertaining and educational

@wiseoldfool 2 года назад

That was "knot" a good idea. You could probably use the V-bit to countersink holes, if you didn't have a countersink bit. At a pinch. But it's probably not a good idea. What's an even worse idea is modifying your drill press to run at 20,000 rpm so you can use a router bit. No Wes, don't try it. I said it was a bad idea!

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

Yeah… I’ve tried the drill press before. I stopped before anything bad could happen. Won’t do that again.

@AmlanjyotiSaikia Год назад

The countersinking part doesn't work. I tried. It messed up the holes so bad. Lucky the holes were on the underside of a table.

@wilnavanschalkwyk2401 2 года назад

You do stupid things so I don't have to. I'm always thinking of different ways to do things and my Dad didn't have enough time on earth to teach me all the things he probably wanted to. I think of ways and that guy isn't the only person that thought of using a router bit in a cordless drill. So thanks for showing us.

@vlc9521 Год назад

first off ppl enquiring about this use a small bit like for cutting steel becuse there probly going to be cutting holes in sheet metal duh

@strizzy239 10 месяцев назад

No! No! No! Not enough RPMs. It does work on an angle grinder but you’ll have to sacrifice a bit and weld onto an old disk. I can send you one for your birthday since I’m not invited.

@ruck-a-tron 10 месяцев назад

I hate the safety douches that have to chime in on every DIY RU-vid video . If your video has electrical, mechanical, or basically anything, people will die if they follow it. It's funny how they act like they actually care if anyone gets hurt. They don't care at all, they just want attention and maybe to feel somehow superior. It's kinda pathetic so just ignore them.

@7journeyx Месяц назад

Not really! Others have tested and actually saves money. Buy trim bits and insert bits into a drill. Will need guides for accuracy.

@davidrobertson1980 Год назад

4:40 well so far this is a waste of time - I thought you might have created / fixed up some sort of JIG the drill can sit in and function AS a router (motor drive), but oh well why would I expect something sensible?

@roberttdaniels3857 2 года назад

Here's a thought...start taking massive amounts of steroids until you get bulked up like "The Rock." Size ratio will increase on your hands, and decrease on the drill, thus making the drill easy to be held using your thumb and your index finger like using a Dremel wood carving tool.....just a thought.

@WesHamstra 2 года назад

You are a GENIUS! Just need to find a steroid dealer.

@annelizeswart6489 Год назад

I don't think it's a very good idea to put a routerbit in your drillpress or in other drills. If my uncle sees this, You get a slap on you head. I won't doing this if i was you. I had lost a router bit when i had not tighten it correctly. It looks like a pyramid. shape. When i hold upright position with the the shaft in downward position with my 2 fingers. I am not Annelize but i am her brother who commit an ask you.
