Tim Sway, the man that's not a myth...He's a legend

I know you added the tail as a way to maximize the handle area, but I hadn't even watched the whole video (only got to about 1:40) before ordering because once you find the middle you can mark the centers on the tip and tail and draw the center line. I've been wishing something like this existed for my guitar builds for a while now so I can't wait to get it.

“Way” cool. Guess will have to wait for second batch. Have the SqWayre love it been using in new a different “Ways”

What an amazing video. It's exactly what I need, I'm not sure why I didn't think of it myself. Small intricate fingers, perfect for getting into tight areas. I'm definitely using my daughter as unpaid workshop labour on my next project, fantastic idea.

Another cool tool! Totally lost it with meditating on the burn pile.😂 Good luck with the sales! Thanks for sharing!

This is so cool! Loved the intro as well haha, really tickled my dad sense of humor.

I didn't even finish and had to hop over and snag one. Don't worry I came back and finished the video😅 I'm excited for this.

I love it, Tim. I like the Dali Lama quote, too. "Everything we do is ultimately insignificant , but it's very important that you do it." Yes, I love the silliness and Dr Zuess book, etc. I get the joke. I'm not one of those people who take themselves so serious, like you. I think the tool SqWAYre is very useful ! Edit : I just ordered one, Tim. :)

Use the cutouts in a mandala display for the Jambulance? Given the unique, geometric shape, it would flow well into a mandala.

You should maybe put a 1/4 pin on centerline of the backside of it. Would be interesting to put in a drill chuck in a cnc.

Way to go Tim. I snagged one. I'm going to hang it up in the shop. I'll get a lot of use out of it.

Oh do I need one! Only issue I see and this is only for me is I drop tools all the time and that may affect its accuracy..but I think it's brilliant.. Mr Sway keep on thinking !

fun idea!

The beginning of the video where tim climbs the snow mound made me think that someone should make a shovel with a bass neck for a handle for shiggles 🤔

Outstanding! I think it would be cool if you could twist a little knob and lock it in a set position, it just looked like when you were measuring for the pickup center and needed to use both hands, it would be the kinda thing where you might then want to lock it in place, recheck to make sure it's centered correctly, and then make your mark.

@zhiracs

I think you could hold it in place with one hand if the spread is narrow enough (which a pickup cavity is). For wider parts, though, it would probably need that for sure.

This is way better than that gear thing I came up with.

@timsway

2 жыл бұрын

YES! It fits in lost but the last few frets are too tight, however if I got any thinner we'd lose the stability and tolerances. So you're still on your own for a couple fret position markers but you can use this outside the frets to still help you visualize. BUT REMEMBER: you can't just go to the frets on either side of the fret you want because they are different sizes and you will not be centered, yknow?

Very similar to a sewing gauge

Hey Tim, I really like it and wanted to buy it. Unfortunately with shipping to Europe and import taxes it will be around €100 . That’s a little over my budget. It would be great of you could find a reseller in Europe to reduce costs. Anyway… Great product. I love it.

@timsway

This is indeed a huge obstacle for small businesses/manufacturers like myself. I've struggled with it for years. Even with my side Guinea Pig Tanks business which sells relatively inexpensive products, it was an uphill battle getting them in Euro markets for reasonable prices (I did!) as I still pay the tariffs when shipping them in bulk to most countries (without doing anything illegal, that is). My other option is to license the manufacturing to someone over there so they are made and sold in the EU, but there are pros and cons to this, of course... Personally, I'm not trying to dominate the world or grow an empire so just selling in the US works fine for me and I really don't expect to sell outside the US. But I know this is not what people outside the US want to hear. Many small retailers like myself don't even make international shipping an option. I leave it open as I am willing to do it for people who are willing to spend the ridiculous shipping and tariff fees to be a part of the club, but I personally wouldn't!
