    William Morris said "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful".
    After watching your videos, I believe your philosophy for making tools and jigs is that you want both usefulness AND beauty.
    This is not only a very useful tool, the care and craftsmanship that you put into creating it makes it beautiful as well.
    Watching your videos is always a pleasure. Thank you for continuing to post them!

    I sleep poorly. I try to make my house beautiful during the day. i know i am an amateur. At night when I can't sleep I watch these demonstrations. No shouting, no music, just the sound of clean machines and craftsmanship. I watch with admiration and great appreciation. When a beautiful piece of work is delivered again, I am so happy. I have sleep again and I know what to expect tomorrow, a lot of work, but I feel good and go to sleep and my thought is: I will get that garden staircase level, if not tomorrow then the day after tomorrow ”. and with a satisfied smile I fall asleep.

I like your projects, and bought the plans for the 6-in-1 drill and panel saw. Now, to find time and space to actually build them...

  • @leobrent7926
    @leobrent7926 Před 4 lety +3

    Great work as always! However... I did find one thing that can be improved, and it’s the pencil holder itself. This one is designed for one specific pencil and can’t use different marking tools like regular pencils or tools to scratch. And also the pencil itself gets pushed to one side. One way to solve that would be if the pencil holder was in the shape of a “V” pointing towards one of the ends and the screw pushed from the opposite side wedging it into the “V”. But of course I’m just nitpicking hehe. I’m always amazed by your craftsmanship. Keep up the good wood work! :)

    • @XJWill1
      @XJWill1 Před 4 lety +1

      That would not mitigate the effect of using pencils with different diameters. Smaller diameters would ride deeper into the 'V', and that would offset the point from being centered between the two end guides. This kind of center finder will only work if the point of the pencil or scribe is exactly centered on a line between the centers of the end guides. So instead of a 'V' you would need something like an iris diaphragm that can accommodate different diameters but keep them centered to a specific point. I do not think that is really practical, but maybe someone has a clever idea how to do it.

    • @leobrent7926
      @leobrent7926 Před 4 lety

      X JWill you are absolutely right! However, the most common way to deal with this kind of error is to simply make a mark with the tool riding on one direction, then coming from the other side and if there is any noticeable difference between both passes, you simply split the difference by eye or drill in between the lines. After all... nobody needs to be “that precise” hehe. But thanks for the observation.
