Love the metric or normal. Here in Australia, it’s imperial or normal. I work for a very big hardware company, and it’s very hard to buy imperial nuts and bolts. They’re only available in zinc coated, which lasts 12 months out in the elements at most

@@suicidebylifestyle9267 Except that the US, Canada, and even Britain use both. There's really no reason _not_ to have both as an option. (We won't discuss liquid units. The American vs British gallon/liquid change is weird. One's 8 lbs, one 10, when you account for accuracy from three hundred years ago) BTW- the US doesn't use Imperial. They use US Customary. See the liquid comment. My father's an engineer, and he has some interesting things to say about metric fasteners. It's basically that metric was developed by scientists who didn't understand the real world, and imperial/US customary was developed out of the real world by people who had no clue about science.

I have used lock miter bits for several years, and have had really good results with them. the 1/2" bit is great for making strong, really quick drawers and boxes.

These videos are a lot of fun David!! Regarding the red router edging thingy, I think I`d cut the bulk of the material off at the bandsaw before routing. That looked pretty sketchy lol

Great review David! I love it when you get excited about something and your voice goes really high

I bought the lock mitre router bit a while ago, and I am having trouble a) getting it set up and b) finding a piece of wood it doesn't rip to shreds. I'm sure it will work in the end, and I will try your set-up technique to see if it improves things. I was wondering about that flexible guide thing, so you saved me some money by demonstrating it!

Always entertaining and educational! 😋Seriously, the "fan" award is still cracking me up. Those compression bits look sweet -- I can't justify dropping big coin on those, but these seem like an economical alternative to others I've seen... Thank you as always. Now I'm going to step away form the computer and Make Something.

I was born in 97. I remember stopping at a thrift store somewhere on the Oregon coast and they were still using the carbon copier to charge credit cards. Put my card on the thing, slide with a big "chunk chunk" then they just have to trust that you have the funds and you have to trust they won't steal your info. I was 18 then so it's pretty crazy how it seems we've gone so far but not everyone has.

Well, you did get scammed. But I love it when you do these videos and let’s face it, you’re doing a public service.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks for these reviews. I put the Fastcap scribe into my Amazon wishlist.

"routers scare me" let me buy the sketchiest bits that will probably become a rocket across my workshop lol

Lock miter router bits are awesome. I use them to make column wraps.

I’ve used the Spetools bits on the CNC and have excellent results

Hairpin legs would be great application for that metal bender. I like those router bits.

the red thing you dont like comes very handy for me many times i just thing you use it wrong. its very helpfull when you need to make a copy of an object and i use them to make special templates so 12mm mdf works like a champ

Thanks for another fun, informative video.

have the Fast Cap compass/scribe haven't broken it yet, and I am hard on stuff. The little metal point things comes out of its spot so it needs some blue tape to keep it in place

Did you use the lock miter bit on hardwood? Usually big bits cutting hardwood in one pass isn't pretty hard.

Me, at 4:30: "You already got the scribing tool from Saker when you bought the profiling/template strip!"

Majority of the sites are just dropshippers copying and pasting products that are cheaper elsewhere but selling 10-20% higher for profit. Most don’t know what the tools are so they choose bad quality products or bad advertising. A lot of carpenters and woodworkers are helping them with trying the DIY products and projects, and the vids are good traction so everybody’s winning I reckon

Love these videos. Super useful. Saves me money! Mahalo for sharing! : )

Pretty nice stuff this time, Dave! Really nice! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Hey! @MakeSomething… you can probably swap out the knobs on the scribing pencil that you prefer the aluminum on for durability, with the better knobs on the cheaper plastic one. Most are pretty universal that way? I hope?

Don’t change dave your voice is fine. Can’t wait for this series to take off

love the video's just now noticing you sound like Grover from Sesame street when excited/nervous

According to the listing for the Saker 90 degree corner clamp, you get two for $50.99, so the is half price of the Kreg. You also stated that having two would be more useful than one, so the Saker product solves that issue also.

I’ve got one of those flexible router guide things and I’ll admit that I don’t use it a lot, but I don’t think it’s scam level. I use it to create router templates for the charcuterie boards I make. It’s good for that at least.

I gotta admit im kinda tempted to redesign that drill guide. It looks super handy, and more useful than the one i use... if it didnt have that slop in it, it would be suuuuper useful

Will the knobs from the Fastcap fit on the Saker scribe?

You need to make a project using the tools that you bought in this series (maybe not all of them, but a bunch...) It would be an interesting 'constraint'...

14:43 That strip could be useful on big commercial "Router Tables" (I dont know the correct translation here) 125mm Diameter cutter and go for it. (30-40mm Arbor) Sure, depending on the shape you will probably have to remove dust collection equipment and various guards, but it could become useful under the right circumstances. Those small router bits dont stand a chance tho. With those, you will have to cut close to the line with a band/jigsaw and just use the bit for cleanup.

My sincerest condolences David. Your family is in my prayers

Lock miter corners can be difficult to glue up and don't even bother to use lock miter bits on MDF.

Always meant to build myself something like that Identibolt . Didnt know you could buy them . After seeing price - I'm still goimng to "get round" to buliding my own . You could probly buy 50 of every bolt required and just use 1 to put on a board for that money!

There is a really useful sharpener under the tail cap of the mechanical pencil. Or at least there is on mine. It's nice for when you want a good point on your pencil lead.

I like these videos, the router bits are up my ally.

I have that drill guide, I think whoever makes these also supplies Lidl here in the UK because that's where I got mine. On the plus side it was way cheaper than $30 (and it came with drill bits and dowels) but, yeah it's not the best tool. Mine's not as wobbly as yours but when drilling on to edges using the guide, it's really hard to keep it locked it to drill straight through but I made mine work for the joinery I needed.

At 10:15 you do a wonderful Gonzo impression

sometimes you have to pay for the quality :) great video!

on the compass, i have those pencils in my shop. There is a sharpener under the cap at the other end... That took me way longer to find than it should have.

At 22:29 I see the metal riding on the handle that is higher which could make a crooked bend since one end is higher. I think the part that was bent could probably been flipped the other way but it would have been even better if they designed the handle to be on the bottom. It is basically same parts just have to mount one of the pins on the other side and then turn the handle upside down.

17:00 if thats like every other deep reach mechanical pencil ive ever seen, there is a sharpener for the lead in teh back of the pencil. usually the back will unscrew on those to put the new lead in, that unscrewey cap part will probs have a sharpener.

I'm thinking the router template thing could actually be useful for laying out and cutting a wood router template (instead of sanding to your line), but because of the screw holes it leaves behind that is about it.

Thank you!

The Saker sharpener is in the pencil cap!

Couldn't you use the spline tool to do a first pass, then cut it out with a jig saw and finish off with the template bit? I'm not sure if that's easier, but it seems like it would make it a lot more useful for thicker pieces.

With the scribing tool you didn't find the teeny weeny sharpener that is in the cap at the bottom of the pencil - sometimes you want a fine point!! Great video though, i've definitely wanted to buy some of this crud and maybe now I will or I won't!!

I have one of those locking mitre bits. I haven't used it yet though 😬 Let's see if it's worth the agro.

On the order page for the Smart Saker 90 degree clamp it says 2 PCS. Were you supposed to get 2 for the $50 price?

The lock router miter bit is pretty awesome, in my opinion. Well worth the 7 bucks I paid for it. Oh, by the way: congratulations, you got scammed. (=

The Saker tracing tool does have a sharpener in the cap of the pencil.

These are great videos. Letting you get scammed instead of me is awesome. LOL

Some of those look like they are firmly in the "Thanks , you shouldn't have!" part of gift advertising.

enjoying the review process

On the multi-scriber, cut a slot into each of the knobs. Then you can use a flathead screwdriver.

The corner clamps’ match : Kreg’s being less jiggly, when handled, actually means something : it is likely that the threaded rod inside this clamp is machined with greater care, delivering at once more threads per inch. This commands a tighter coupling with the mechanism conveying pressure to the jaws More machining also means : a rod of a better alloy, granting great malleability and its enhanced resistance to brittleness or compression; it also reflects the use of superior processes and machinery that will yield results within narrower tolerances. Oh, I forgot : it mainly means that adjustments on the Kreg’s, especially in the long run, will be far more precise!

Nice video 🤟. Didn't know, John Travolta makes wood working videos 😁

I kinda like that metal bender. Custom coat hooks.......

I love these videos. They're hilarious, and you always wonder if these esoteric items are actually worth a crap lol. One thing to point out, the SmartSaker vs. Kreg cost comparison isn't really valid because SmartSaker is for *two* clamps and not one, like the Kreg. I'm wondering if you only got one? 🥶

"I'm gona buy facebook ads for woodworking" Proceeds and buys a METAL WORK TOOL! 🙄🤣😂🤣 Great video once again sir 🍻👍

"Routers are evil." Proceeds to put glass on the router. Holy crap, Dave.

The mechanical pencil in the scribe tool has a sharpener in the button you push to advance the lead.

i've bought a few cnc bits from SpeTools and have had no issues. Granted I have a tiny CNC and don't do a ton of projects yet with it, but, for what I have done, they have been great, especially for the price. I know their compression bits are a new product for them, which *might* explain why no reviews. I have seen their adds getting pushed on several platforms so it seems they could be upping their marketing strategy to try and push into being a more recognized brand.

First, great and fun video. A bit of a critique, I don't get the hate on the guide, seems like you'd have your router on your workpiece and the guide below it, the bearing portion of the bit on the guide.

The identibolt could have been a 10 if it wasn't so expensive. I would definitely find it useful.
