Is the hardness of such that you can make aluminum or brass rules? @@reedplanes728

@thomasarussellsr 29 дней назад

@@WoodByWrightHowTo would also be great for a centering rule. Start your "zero" mid stick, and number it out both directions from center. When both end's measurement is equal, the zero is the center of your piece/side/edge.🤔 Also a helpful tool is the marking tics are hard enough to mark aluminum, brass, etc. to make "metal" rules that will stand the test of time. Would love to see samples done in "exotic" woods like 💜 or yellow heart 💛, sapele, redwood, etc, and there are fine tip markers with light colored inks😀. How about a rainbow rule where sixteenths, eighths, quarters, half, and inch markings all get their own color? (Separate color at each foot?) Create a combo rule where you do tenths of a foot with ten marks per segment. Maybe our decimal friends will totally flip out. 😂❤

@thomasarussellsr 29 дней назад

Oooo😮, creat a double centering stick that pivots/crosses at zero for finding the center the section of slabs you'd want to use for furniture (or other objects). Could be two sticks with half-lap joinery and a magnet to hold them together if you don't want the pivot option.) (+) The pivot would allow for Beetlegeuise angled/twisted panels and boards, or centering on multiple angles or axis.

@johnfreiler6017 Месяц назад

As an engineer, I can totally appreciate that and yeah, that's not going to be an inexpensive item. But for my woodworking, I've been getting away from measuring anything: story sticks and marking from reality now "rule" my woodworking world. And as a fan of your channel? Well anything that gets you that excited is just fun to watch. Well done.

@rolandharrison5651 Месяц назад

This is really cool. If I had one I would mark all of the edges of my workbenches. That way you’d never have to search for that outlaw ruler, well at least when you’re working at the bench. That gave me the giggles.

I have been making my own wooden rules already. I have a 24" 30" 36" 48" because I find it convenient. I like them thin (less than 1/8"), about 1.5" wide and made of maple. I stick an old aluminum rule to the blank with double stick tape and transfer the marks with a square and marking knife.

I’m glad I’m not losing my mind*: I just placed an order on the store last night and saw this and its message to watch the video, and was sure I would have remembered seeing a video on this. I still wouldn’t have been interested though. Years ago when I moved to the US for work, I made a special trip to Bunnings before I left to buy a tape measure marked only in mm, because I’d recently realised how useful it was to be able to use both sides of the tape. (Tapes and even rulers marked in both metric and imperial having been far and away the majority in Australia in the 90s. Now it’s pretty uncommon.) * at least, I /may/ not be losing my mind

I feel like this would be dope on a few projects done over the years. When i remodel rooms at peoples homes, some of them have new borns and young kids. So i could imagine a few would pay to send a door trim, though rather than a goofy measuring stick on the wall kinda deal. Odds are i would just use it on jigs in the shop, which would be nice.

@ianpearse4480 Месяц назад

Wow, time to reintroduce the SECTOR and get rid of rulers for ever. Is that an infinity loop? Lol. That though made me smile!

@johnsrabe Месяц назад

Ummm … it’s a caster. They make steel casters. One could get the diameter exactly right by mounting the wheel of the caster on a drill press, and then then sanding. How about heating up the wheel and then branding the marks onto the wood? One might also make one of these out of wood, carving the lines, and then using ink to print the lines.

@robbywright6010 Месяц назад

Instead of a pen or pencil, paint the embossed surface, wait for it to dry and either sand or plane a little of the top layer off.

@WoodByWrightHowTo Месяц назад

that works on some woods, but most will seep in to the depth of the grain and you see the other colors bleeding in. I had thought of clear coating it and then putting in color that way the clear coat would lessen the bleed into the grain, but I did not try it.

@chrisvonpimpenstein Месяц назад

That’s a crazy, yet justifiable price. But you know what would be affordable? Why not just make a punch/stamp you whack with a hammer? It only needs to be one inch long. You could either include the inch markings at both ends so you line up the next inch by setting the first mark in the groove left by the last one. Or if that isn’t accurate enough, let’s say the punch goes to 1/16ths, just leave off that final mark so you have a punch that has 15/16ths. You’d use a known rule to mark each inch of your board and just line it up each time. The really only complicated part is the stamp would need a lip to register against the edge of the board, but that should be simple enough. You should be able to get the price point down to the price of a plane iron. The best part is that it would be dead simple to use rather than having to set up a drill press with a complicated jig. Anyone who's every punch a number or letter (pretty much ALL of us????) would already have all the experience they'd need.

@reedplanes728 Месяц назад

Good approach and I considered it. What stopped me was the need for the same depth of the markings every time you hit it with a hammer. I do not see this as practical. There are many companies that make custom stamps and I encourage you to have one made and let us know how it works.

@robertthoelen1459 Месяц назад

I like this idea a lot. I’m a machinist and really have my wheels turning now. What would be interesting if it could be adapted to make different shrink rules

@steveshapland8846 Месяц назад

My wife looked for 'product' coming out of my shop, while I sought the zen of process. 😊

@devinteske Месяц назад

Some of the competition will be CNC. I currently use my Shaper Origin to put rulers on things. I love putting rulers on acrylic and using contrasting enamel paint as infill. However, I consider myself to be a galoot that loves purpose built tools that do not require electricity, and as such would consider renting one occasionally (and if I had to rent it more than once would probably just buy one even at $550, because I don’t like going to the post office)

@donbert Месяц назад

I was using the Glowforge to laser rules but swapped to the Shaper Origin because I didn’t like the burnt look against lighter woods. I like how clean it is but do miss the legibility and didn’t want to mark it with a pencil. Been thinking about using the Shaper to do a veneer inlay next time to get the contrast and a completely flat surface…🤔

@gosonegr Месяц назад

Is a homeshop CNC machine easy enough to operate? I have a lot of experience with 3d printers, from scratch basically, but I feel it's not the same to design and use additive manufacturing and designing for material removing

@donbert Месяц назад

@@gosonegr it depends on how complex you want to get. If you’re just doing mostly 2d cuts then it’s no harder than using a laser cutter. Same could be said about a cnc plasma cutter for metal. Just draw some vectors, make a bunch of test cuts to dial in your material settings and you’re good to go. The Shaper is even easier and more akin to hand tool woodworking because you take the tool to the material rather than the material to the tool. So more like a hand plane vs a table saw philosophically. You still mostly draw the vectors on a computer but there is more and more functionality that you can do directly on the tool. It gets complicated/expensive when you want to work in multiple axis but for 99% of what most people need it’s totally doable in a home shop.

@devinteske Месяц назад

@@donbert to make rules in wood, first spray Rustoleum clear enamel over the engraving to prevent the infill from bleeding into the wood. Then, if using something other than enamel paint as infill, I will often put more clear enamel over the contrasting infill (once dry). Hard maple with black enamel paint infill looks wonderful

@devinteske Месяц назад

@@gosonegr subtractive manufacturing is highly addictive. Once you start, you may not be able to stop. In the design phase there are different considerations but fewer of them, which often translates into a more enjoyable experience. That is not to say subtractive manufacturing is easier, just that you can achieve such amazing results with little education that it hooks you. Additive manufacturing is fun, and solves a lot of impossible challenges, but often times what we need in our lives is not complicated enough to warrant printing a Klein bottle solution.

Do you know if they plan on making any in 16th's? BTW, an easy way to color the markings is with paint. Spread it over the marking and let it dry. Then take the surface paint with a cabinet scraper.

@reedplanes728 Месяц назад

I had not considered 1/16" graduations but if there is demand I will explore them. For a one off I would suggest the 16" graduations be put in manually with a square and knife. Great project please let us know how it turns out!

@charitiekbyrd1 Месяц назад

Channeling the spirit of Alton Brown, that is definitely a unitasker. I can also envision much more accessible ways to do the same job, like a jig you could hold a v-groove chisel with, with a mechanism to advance the stick by an accurate amount for each marking. Or even just gluing a ruler to the jig so you could align it by eye each time you advance the stick. It is neat though.
