    Just a suggestion, but rather than clamping the screws in a vise and hand filing them, why not chuck them up in your drill and let it act like a vertical lathe? Then you can just hold the file against the screw while it rotates in the drill.

    Nice simple prohect. A shop tip for you and your wiewers: If your design allows you ro drill a hole in the path of the hole saw blade (this does), the hole allows a place for the chips to eject. You get a cleaner, faster, better and cooler cut. This also greatly extends the life of your holesaw.

Only thing I've found that makes a normal hole saw leave a decent finish is to straighten out the offset on the teeth, it's way too much of a kerf if you've got it mounted rigid in a drill press or mill, and it's generally not a consistent offset so the saw is constantly trying to track in weird directions and causing the rough finish.

    Mild steel drills easily w/o cutting oil. If the hole is very big, drill a small pilot hole first. If you are doing production work cutting oil will make tooling last longer.

    These are great Neil, I want to make some now. A little tip I've learned to keep your drill bit centered on the punch divot: After punching the metal, first drill a slightly larger divot with a 1mm drill. This will give a larger mark for the center web of your final drill bit to sit in without wandering. Sometimes if the ridge around your punch mark is too crooked, file that away first so it doesn't push the 1mm drill off it's path.

    How refreshing it is to watch a man using his skills with actual hand tools, not plugged-in or battery powered machines. I know I'm a dying breed, but I was getting worried that I could be the last human on the planet who still uses hacksaws and files, instead of reaching for the angle grinder. Well done, Pask Makes, you made my day! Subbed & Thumbed Up!

    We need more people with your philosophy in the world 😉. We would all be much better off, living in a better world, if more people made things. Mass production is great, of course. However, just knowing how to make things means you have principles that translate into so many other areas of life. A maker is a free man. A consumer is a slave. We all consume. We should all create as well. A good life requires both creating and consuming.

    Why John ? The caliper jaw tips wear out quickly and then you can't use them to measure properly... 🤔 I know you can buy them cheap in Lidls & Aldi so I suppose they're easily replaced. As a qualified machinist, I use Moore & Wright, Mitutoyo & Starrett instruments and man are they spendy... you would NEVER abuse them by doing this sort of thing... but its just not good engineering practice even with the cheapys... 🤨

    Wonderful video Neil! So many of the things you did from proto to final run show a great perspective on design & making things. Great little clamps and easy to make a few in an afternoon, Nicely Done! Love Boeshield T9, used it for a decade now and goes on most of my good tools and when I need something thin to get in there and do the job. It was also nice to see someone use the Oxy/Map Bernzomatic. It's a good investment, portable and with a proper, tilt carry rack (mine is some scrap acrylic and holds all my gear), you can get it in hard to reach places or use it on the bench. Thanks for sharing your passion for making things with us!

    It was good to see you filing a rounded surface as I was taught. You can file round with no flat spots by pushing handle of file down while pushing forward. Removes burrs from shafts to pull bearings ect... Also I thought I saw white out pen marking corners. I use white-out pens to mark torch lines as white-out does not burn off but only turns red in heat.
