#shopmadetools 

As a 40 year past metal shop teacher, I appreciate the first C clamp high school shop project reference. Thanks sir.

Built, not bought, great indicator of someone's toolbox. Thanks for sharing.

John’s videos taught me a LOT too !

I love making tools!

Thanks for sharing!!!

Nice example of "need the tool, make the tool". Impsessive collection you have there. Love it.

Everett, there is no reason to sell yourself short. That shop made micrometer that you made really looks robust. And all of those tools you have made for work and friends are no less impressive than tooling made by other RU-vid contributors. Keep yp the incredible work. You are a kind soul in a world of scoundrels.

Nice, very nice. Thanks.

You did some good stuff...thanks for showing.

That C-clamp is awesome!!!!!

Finished our Sticker Board at 12:45am ct time Tx, and hopeful to share today the Mail Call and posting of all that we have received for you and others.

God bless and Keep on Keeping on,,you YT friends, Bear & Sammie, TX. PS. We are big Mopar lovers, and one day will post cars we have owned and restored from prior Mopar customers..

The yolk removal tool is one for my memory banks ! Cheers .

Very nice ……. You’re quite resourceful. Thanks for the inspiration 👍👍😎👍👍

Excellent tools! You do great work......

Holy Cow! I think you win the whole #Shopmadetools prize! You have made more job specific tools than Snap-on or Lisle Tools combined! Awesome Job Everett.

Very nice Everett. Enjoyed the video very much. Thanks for sharing all the cool tools you have made with us. Gary

I'm sure the truck shop is missing you. We live in a time of parts changers and not problem solvers. I have used everything in my shop from the mill, lathe, and 3d printer to make up for those lovely special tool shortages. Well done.

Nice collection of tools👍.

Great looking tools.

Thumbs up Everett

Yep, very clever.. great work man👍👍

Great video. Nice shop made tools Alway nice work on them and they work for you. Thank you for sharing.

Lots to be proud of there. Well done!

Really interesting shop made tools. Well done. M

12:00 That's what I want to do with my little South Bend Shaper. Very nice array of shop made working tools. Great video.

Enjoyed

Nice show of shop made tools!

Great job! very ingenious.

I have the same sentiments towards my old school shop teacher also " thanks for putting up with me as a teenager" . We also had a great little school shop back then. Now my boy goes to the same school and there hasn't been a shop there for 30 years.

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing

Back in the late 70's I worked in a diesel shop in the mines. We where lucky to have an awesome machinist, making forks for one of our tractors, specialized installers for seals, as you did, pump and compressor repairs, when parts availability was questionable (damned ancient gear even back then). Good memories.👍 Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.

That's quite the collection of useful tools you've accumulated over the years Everett! I still have a couple of my grade 10 lathe and foundry projects in my pile of tools that get used occasionally to show their worthiness. Cheers...Wayne

That's an impressive list of shop-made tools! I like that you started with the one made back in high school--props to your teacher. If he's watching, I'm sure you made him proud.

Gday Everrett, great example of tools that you’ve needed and built, making tools is always enjoyable mate, Cheers

DoubleBoost is the catz azz! I've been watching him for years, long before I got my first machine. Watching him repair old junk is super helpful. Your yoke removal tool is slick! Can't tell you how many times I've busted my ass on that job! Thanks!

Your idea is fantastic sir..it helps me in my work..success for you

Hello Everett, Great video... nice to see most things were made for a specific job rather than that might be useful... Take care. Paul,,

John Mills has been a big inspiration for me too; thank you for sharing your work.

Now I'm no machinist but i can finagle metal a little bit if I have to and I do enjoy doing it..(:, ...I'm just a farmer....its amazing how many of your projects I have made up myself in a pinch to get stuff done! Thanks for the IDEAS! I just made some pto parts today in my old rickety 1926 Atlas lathe.

very cool tools. 😎

Really cool stuff Everett.. Clever ideas.. Thanks for sharing, please share future shop made tools, goodies

G’day Everett great set of tools. I see a good number we’re for automotive use, well done, I reflect the number of older shops had an engine lathe for these purposes but sadly the lathes were badly treated. I hope you get that shop of yours up and going soon. Cheers Peter

G'Day Everett, the best tool for me is the G Clamp. I wish I had kept some of the things I made back when I was at school but alas with all the moves over my lifetime its all disappeared. Love the work related tools, makes life so much easier and quicker, imagine if you didn't have the skills you have and had to buy or have someone else make the specials. Great Vid. Cam

Keep them coming Everett! Other than your projects, which are cool by the way, I like your modesty and your ability to give credit where credit is due.

You've got quite a collection 😁. The metal lathe is like a gateway tool 🤣.

Very cool Making tools to help us in our jobs is very satisfying and it looks like you've done a very good job

I interesting thing about your tool builds is that they were used to produce income and were not just shop projects for the sake of doing a project. Enjoyed, keep up the good work.

You're an inventive guy! Shows how useful a shop is ;-) And, I hope that your shop teacher can see this video, he'd be proud of his student! Keep well, young Everett!

thats awesome

Nice to see watt u been up2 ...I got a small shop with a milling machine..lathe ..big pedestal drill which I just modified to take a single phase motor ..made me own phase converter for the mill and lathe ..but never got the nerve to do a youtube channel ya know moved here 14yrs ago from the Uk thats why I asked where u got those Whitworth spanners lol anyways luv the content be nice to get your shop all wired up thks for the replies keep up the good work..

You have made some very nice tools Everett. I did do a video on this but I was not aware of the naming convention.

Your c clamp looks well made, considering that you made it in high school it looks great. Nice shout out to your shop teacher and the mining company that helped fund the shop classes. It's amazing how many costum mechanical tools that you have made over the years.

Sounds like the word you were trying to avoid was "Brat." ??? Inconceivable! It's always good. When you can dream up secondary uses for "unitask" tools, that's really good. Sometimes wish I could find out if Mr. Elizondo was still around. Looking back, I can see that, near the end of the time period that he was my woodshop and drafting teacher, that he was doing what he could (without being obvious) to encourage my "outside the bounds" thinking and looking for ways around problems. He was one of several that I seen leave the field of teaching because of low salaries ... plus other things. He went trucking, another construction full time, several others went into the real estate market.

Hope everything is going well for you. Tway Saskatchewan.

I couldn't agree more,why buy a special tool when you can make it . Thats why we have all our special tools....oh yea🤔

Great job Everett nice assortment of tools you've built can't wait to see some of those ideas you mentioned.

That's a nice collection of tools. I should make a video like that.

love ur vids. Nice to see guys that use real world tooling not the name brand. I just got a 13-40 doall need more tooling but its seems every job i use it now. Its not ez finding tooling in Alaska. I was going to road trip the lower 48 for tools but shit happend.need a mill i wish i could find a tool dealer for used tooling i would send bails of cash so i could get a storage unit full of tools so i can bring them to AK. or buy whole lot of some old timers tools thats my DREAM.

Great share Everett ! You have made some good tooling man.. ENJOYED

Awesome stuff Everett I enjoyed seeing all the stuff that you made

Hi Everett enjoyed viewing your work. They all look really impressive and you designed most of them to do a specific task better and faster than the tools available saving you time and stress in the work place. Tony

Good video

G’day Everett. I love that large G-Clamp project. We used to make a similar one in the high school shop also.Unfortunately it was before my teaching time. As I’ve never done any casting before. Cheers 🍻

Nice lineup of tools Everett, mind you HD mechanics always seem to need a huge bevy of specialized tools like you are making. Always nice to see a video from you, cheers and thanks! By the by, any good instructor has no problem showing things to a younger worker providing he is interested and respectful, that is how you build a better tradesman, IMHO.

Awesome clamp!!! And the rest of your tools also. I have made lots of tools over the years also but I have had most of them borrowed or rehomed...

those specialty installer tools can be silly in their prices that they are asking. Clean looking builds to me! nice job.

Nice! Some good ideas and good scrounging output in there. :) (p.s. - re: 11:50 - you missed the link to Doug Lester's channel in the video notes.)

Actually my direct mount tools was inspired by a web site, that I can’t remember. However most of my turning tools are direct mount, just because I got supplies of inserts inexpensive. However the drill press vice is my favorite and most complex tool. Plus it has some family history with it.

About the goofy threads i have a plant sprayer it has M15.5X1.5 thread everywhere. O.o

Great stuff. Does John Mills have a channel?

Morning Everett, Followed you over to Howard’s channel via John Mills. Where are you located in Canada ? I’m over in Manitoba . Thanks Vince

Just subscribed and like your content. An interesting tool I made 4 years back was converting my Grandfathers 1950 JD Wallace radial arm saw into an English wheel. Can see on my channel. I was watching your video (March 14th 2018) on the lathe Dial Indicator Holder, and is the mill a R-F 31? I made a cool chip guard for mine, and you mite want to check it..Thx for sharing, and I my do video now on cool tools I have made over the years, Bear in TX.

You have been busy making tools. Tools used to make other tools.

Why are we being delayed?

Thanks for sharing!
