Love the metric or normal. Here in Australia, it’s imperial or normal. I work for a very big hardware company, and it’s very hard to buy imperial nuts and bolts. They’re only available in zinc coated, which lasts 12 months out in the elements at most
@@suicidebylifestyle9267 Except that the US, Canada, and even Britain use both. There's really no reason _not_ to have both as an option. (We won't discuss liquid units. The American vs British gallon/liquid change is weird. One's 8 lbs, one 10, when you account for accuracy from three hundred years ago) BTW- the US doesn't use Imperial. They use US Customary. See the liquid comment. My father's an engineer, and he has some interesting things to say about metric fasteners. It's basically that metric was developed by scientists who didn't understand the real world, and imperial/US customary was developed out of the real world by people who had no clue about science.
I have used lock miter bits for several years, and have had really good results with them. the 1/2" bit is great for making strong, really quick drawers and boxes.
I bought the lock mitre router bit a while ago, and I am having trouble a) getting it set up and b) finding a piece of wood it doesn't rip to shreds. I'm sure it will work in the end, and I will try your set-up technique to see if it improves things. I was wondering about that flexible guide thing, so you saved me some money by demonstrating it!
The corner clamps you ordered actually said "2 pcs" on the checkout. It looks like they ripped you off by half! Fun video though, I'm glad I found you channel!
According to the listing for the Saker 90 degree corner clamp, you get two for $50.99, so the is half price of the Kreg. You also stated that having two would be more useful than one, so the Saker product solves that issue also.
I think it mentioned x2 pieces... depending on what they call a piece, it might have been x1 clamp and the loose inside part is considered the 2nd piece? His order box should have contained x2 clamps though if it was indeed a x2 clamp order.
the red thing you dont like comes very handy for me many times i just thing you use it wrong. its very helpfull when you need to make a copy of an object and i use them to make special templates so 12mm mdf works like a champ
You need to make a project using the tools that you bought in this series (maybe not all of them, but a bunch...) It would be an interesting 'constraint'...
17:00 if thats like every other deep reach mechanical pencil ive ever seen, there is a sharpener for the lead in teh back of the pencil. usually the back will unscrew on those to put the new lead in, that unscrewey cap part will probs have a sharpener.
14:43 That strip could be useful on big commercial "Router Tables" (I dont know the correct translation here) 125mm Diameter cutter and go for it. (30-40mm Arbor) Sure, depending on the shape you will probably have to remove dust collection equipment and various guards, but it could become useful under the right circumstances. Those small router bits dont stand a chance tho. With those, you will have to cut close to the line with a band/jigsaw and just use the bit for cleanup.
have the Fast Cap compass/scribe haven't broken it yet, and I am hard on stuff. The little metal point things comes out of its spot so it needs some blue tape to keep it in place
Dude, you used the curve in quire a cack handed way, it's best used to create a template using mdf, you mark the curve, cut the excess using a bandsaw or jigsaw etc, then attache the curve and flush trim with a router..it makes cutting a curve template easier...you don't use it on final pieces
With the scribing tool you didn't find the teeny weeny sharpener that is in the cap at the bottom of the pencil - sometimes you want a fine point!! Great video though, i've definitely wanted to buy some of this crud and maybe now I will or I won't!!
First, great and fun video. A bit of a critique, I don't get the hate on the guide, seems like you'd have your router on your workpiece and the guide below it, the bearing portion of the bit on the guide.
The flexi thing would work better if one bandsawed the curve leaving 2=3mm and then ran the router table with the trim bit. No way that little bit should be used to cut half inch ply all by itself. You can do the same operation with splines made from scraps and a few finishing nails. And you'll get a fairer curve.
Interesting. I bought one item from a FB ad, got burned, so I dumped FB. Any clown who let's scammers sell crap from his website isn't worth supporting, and no, FB did nothing to help. Everything you bought was overpriced and odds are you'd never get your money back with justifiable complaints. You can support zucky-boy all you want, yeah, he gets his cut.
My favourite part, was calling the drill bits "Metric and Normal". Normal, when you're the last country in the world to still be using standard haha. To be fair though, living in Canada, 10 minutes away from the USA, we use standard more than metric locally.
4th place, - You should just buy a cheap tap & dye set to guage your nuts and bolts Normally around £20 or superglue a nut and bolt of each common size to a piece of board. Definitly overpriced for what you got
It was so good to hear you blame yourself rather than the rest of the world for using metric. If you want a real laugh your final item would probably be confiscated by UK customs because of the Zombie Knife ban.
I love making websites and I do got to say be careful probably 90% of these are dropped shipped, if you look up the exact product on Google you will find the original product for much cheaper. Also with reviews, most of the time they are fake. Also with the sometimes tracking or not, they have automated ship by sale on, so it will come from china not providing tracking. Other than that I love this video, very interesting to see all these products!
Maybe I missed it... shoulda watched to the end b4 typing... but the Kregg is $50 for 1 clamp the knock off is for two clamps, so, it's actually half the price. (2:27 The web pages cleraly states 2 pcs.) NEVER tip, except in person when deseved. It's the only way to get these idiots to remove the tip banner.
@@MakeSomething That's just awesome. 4 weeks late is better than never. I think. At two for the same price as one Kregg, does it make it worth the purchase? Never owned the Kregg, but every coner clamp I ever brought I threw across the room. All worthless. Even worse than worthless, all so very damn annoying.
I like how Americans keep going on about not using metric and not even owning metric drill or tools where’s the rest of the world have a collection of metric , imperial , letter and number size sets come on America it’s just not that hard
I have a knock off the of the KREG clamp and they were good, then became instantly useless and fail to hold any clamping pressure. I also think you were supposed to get 2 for $50 (check timestamp 2:27)
That exact drill guide thingy can be bought in german offline stores for 9€ (10$). It works okay-ish with metric sized drills and for that price is acceptable, but heck no for 30$.
These videos are a lot of fun David!! Regarding the red router edging thingy, I think I`d cut the bulk of the material off at the bandsaw before routing. That looked pretty sketchy lol
Always entertaining and educational! 😋Seriously, the "fan" award is still cracking me up. Those compression bits look sweet -- I can't justify dropping big coin on those, but these seem like an economical alternative to others I've seen... Thank you as always. Now I'm going to step away form the computer and Make Something.
Out of all of those items, those router bits that gave you no tear-out and no dust looked to be the most useful to me. I do a lot of templates on my router table so yeah.
I'm thinking the router template thing could actually be useful for laying out and cutting a wood router template (instead of sanding to your line), but because of the screw holes it leaves behind that is about it.
Could be used instead of scribing to create a template. If you have a curved surface that you need to mate up to you could screw it to a board to follow the profile
I am not a craftsman at all but enjoyed this video! I think the thread identifier would be so handy at home, I am always using them at Home Depot or Ace! I love that metal bender but it would be one of those "buy once, use once" things for me.
God please no. Seems like every woodworking channel these days is doing nothing but tools reviews now. A good mix would be nice but there is a problem with too much
I was born in 97. I remember stopping at a thrift store somewhere on the Oregon coast and they were still using the carbon copier to charge credit cards. Put my card on the thing, slide with a big "chunk chunk" then they just have to trust that you have the funds and you have to trust they won't steal your info. I was 18 then so it's pretty crazy how it seems we've gone so far but not everyone has.
