Restoring an Old Draw Knife...because of circles.
In this video, I'm going to show you how I restore an old blade and why circles give me the capcity to continue expanding on my craft. It is my belief that circles could be the thing you need to move forward in your own adventures. Circles will help you understand why you can do anything.

    @christopherdekonstrukt444 Před 9 měsíci

    Looks like they fixed the flapping wheel lever, mine doesn't snap down as easily. Still neef to turn my saw to calibrate and if I want to use the full range of mitre capacity I have to install 12" from the blade or the motor housing of the saw will hit the measuring tool. Eventually I'll invest in Pro Scale for my left fence.

  • @steveallphin9631
    @steveallphin9631 Před 9 měsíci

    I thought this would really speed up our form making, but it ended up being more hassle than it was worth. Seemed to lose calibration every day or so. The auxiliary fence my saw required, gets in the way of our dust collection, especially when making miter cuts. The big downfall though is the accuracy. Now it just sits on a table calling me a sucker for spending so much money on it.

    Great work! Your screw together idea seems like it would work well and i know they make tools to thread wood. Now #YAFT keep a spool of tie wire in your shop, it comes in handy and next time you need to pull electrical just feed the straightened tie wire through and tape it to the electrical, it would make that process take less than 5 minutes! Also get yourself a contour Guage 🙃, your shadow tracing was a great solution but could cause problems if your light or shadow surface are misaligned even a little bit, however you seemed to pull it off flawlessly. You asked for it 😅 always happy to help!

    You asked for it. Only thing I find off was lighting, camera angles, and a few sound spots. By camera angles I mean; maybe have some wider shots and eliminate the vertical or tall scenes. Make it all landscape orientation shots. And there was one spot towards the end where it sounded like you were far away. Other than that, good decisions when to slow down and show more detail.

    First time viewer, and you have made the right impression on what I am looking to discover. 30min. ago I came across what appeared to be the most coolest thing to ever make the repeat accurate finish trim cuts thing a repeated able thing. Two previous reviews were questionable. The very first was a recognized content creator who was hyping the tool like he was a carnival barker. So I didn’t watch for long. The second was Den Of Tools. His work generally has a good feel to it and he isn’t acting like a shill. He also was very upfront about the actual tool still being a prototype, basically a 3D printer tester that wasn’t ready to really be shown as a finished product. Your version was also back a year so your version is probably nearly a beta version but at least it’s looking like the world ready final revision. Your words revealed the important details that weren’t mentioned in either of the two previous videos. Mostly, that the trouble of actually having to go through a shit load of repeat set up for each cut. Exactly what this was supposed to be eliminating. The second, small cuts requiring the longer end to be measured. I’m not wording it right, but basically it appears that more counting and subtraction is required to get the cut The 6 pieces lined up and each was clearly off by visually very vast margins! Done. $150 for something that will make me cry? Not gonna lie, this thing was nearly a done and ordered on Amazon impulse purchase! I have a rather embarrassing collection of such things gathering dust somewhere in my shop, some were downright cool tools, but more of a one-trick pony (here and there I return to that particular one, but I haven’t seen it in a bit too long) and others that simply aren’t worth the plastic they were made from. 😢 I think I’ll be scoping more of your stuff at least. 😂 thx.

    Heads up, you need 6' on both sides of your blade to calibrate. I built a custom workstation for my Bosch mitre saw in a 10' x 10' spare room and only have 60". Moving my saw would mean having to tear down and rebuild a new workstation so I have to return the device to Lowe's. I let Reekon know of this and they'll pass it onto their development team. Hope this post helps someone in making an informed purchasing decision and not have to return the item like I have to now. Hopefully they'll make a newer revision without this limitation and I have better luck with the T1 Tomahawk tape measure when released this summer.

  • @christopherdekonstrukt444

    Apparently you need 6' to either side of your mitre saw blade to calibrate this tool. My workshop is 10' x 10' so that's only 5' on either side. Reekon either needs to find a workaround or list this in the product description so people will be more informed before purchasing. Reekon CS did respond and told me that 6' is indeed required for the calibration and advised me to return the item to my local big box store. Thank you.
