I never would have thought someone could make their own good reliable hydrometer. Well, anyone but you you Jack! Your zero clearance insert did its job. Nice build.

My fiancé and I recently ( a couple months ago ) bought a late 1800s Baldwin upright piano made of Cherry. This is a good idea as I also like to do woodworking and learned how to tune it so I also bought a tuning hammer and mutes/felt. I use a tuning app that I found online and it's worked out pretty well so far...Thanks for the videos!

This is a great project. Best Wishes, Brendan.

I love this project Jack. I made a wooden hydrometer after watching your previous video on making the larger one. It works OK but the deflection from dry to humid is rather small. It measures 20 inches long and the most deflection I've seen is only a little more than 1 inch. I'm going to try making another one using two different species of wood.

Great project. I like the business card idea.

i don't comment videos a lot, i'm just a random french guy and find one of your videos... i'm not a carpenter (or however you call this job) at all, but i can say that you have nice projects, you make them easy to understand, so bravo for your works, and keep doing nice stuffs

Very nice Jack, thanks for sharing Best wishes, Harry

Jack Awesome video thanks for sharing I'm looking forward to making one my self

Very interesting small project!

Great little project Jack!

And where the hell are we gonna get tht thing

Oh that's really useful. I'm building one. Thanks

i don't know what i would use that for but it is pretty cool. I bet it comes in handy when you are working on pianos and the swelling of parts?

That is very clever. You always come up with something interesting.

That is neat. I imagine you give these to your clients for them to keep track? I have many tuning settings on my digital piano; I wish I knew what they actually meant first hand, rather than just hearing the differences. I prefer a grand piano, but at least a digital piano never goes out of tune ; )

Another great idea Jack. I like this and your larger version. I may attempt this build in the future, as there are parts of my shop where I need to check the humidity levels. Thanks for the video and hope you're well.

I'll probably do a video on my build. Subscribe and you won't miss it. ;-) My next video will be me extending my DeWalt DW7480 contractor saw table. I've never seen a video on extending that particular saw, so it could be interesting. I need more table surface area on that saw asap. So I should have that done and a video up withing the next couple of weeks. Hopefully sooner. Hope you're well Jack.

Really great video - thanx for sharing your knowledge

Would love to see a video going over the piano technician toolkit!

A bi-wood hygrometer. I like that. I might even try that myself one day. Thanks

Cool Project & Great Video. Keep up the great work. Nick.

You're very welcome Dude. N.

nice project, I really enjoy your channel.

Good Job Jack.👍

pretty cool project!

Cool project!

very nice work!!

Very nice build Jack. For the pointer, could a piece of thin 3 ply plywood with one removed work as a pointer, or does it matter that one ply is thicker than the other? I'd like to build a wall mounted version for my shop.

Very nifty Jack

Genius. very well done

That's cool Jack. I think I would like to have one of those. Does it matter what species of wood you use?

Nice project.

This is a cool build Jack! Just curious, does the mahogany veneer on the arm help with the readings, or is it just a nice finishing touch?

Very useful project.

Very nice.

That is nice Jack. How about a thermometer made the same way?

+Jim Steinbrecher good idea: I wonder which types of wood have the biggest difference in thermal expansion... any ideas?

Don't worry you mentioned it at the end of your video

I watched the big one you made awhile back how does that one compare to the smaller ones?

okay i am curious as what the results will be. Thanks Jack.

it's like bi-metal foil... but with wood... and it reacts to humidity.

You should do a fun diy video on how to make a hand plane, if anyone can do it you could 8)

Beautiful! How important are the wood-choices for this? Can I find an explanation about this somewhere?

Simon de rycke yea i thought that you make it from cedar ? may be thats to mesure humidity on a ceder guitar?

***** How do you gauge it? Using another hygrometer or is there a trick to it?

Very nice but, I think that the vanes should have been glued with Ca. adhesive, not water based IMHO.

It's going to equilibrate anyway. Makes no difference.
