Something to note, normal face sealed respirators do not actually create a proper seal on your face with a beard, so you may not be receiving the respiratory protection that you think. I work on a refinery and because I have a beard I am forbidden from wearing any sort of face sealing respirator, instead I have a PAPR unit like you mentioned. Might be worth considering completely using the PAPR/ADFLO/Positive pressure unit in the future unless you intend to be clean shaven.

I am 100% with you about PPE and I am glad you are consistently bringing it back up. Right now I can't afford the PAPR type of respiratory but I know someday I will get one. Some people are less sensitive to fumes and all sorts of dusts but for me it is a big deal and I feel very bad after breathing metal or concrete dust.

Wood shop metal shop and machine shop what a dream good work brother keep grinding

Several years ago I made up a set of wooden "gauge" blocks out of scrap 2x4's. I have sizes ranging from 1/4" to 3 inches. I find them to be a useful alternative to using my precision ground blocks and a lot less expensive.

I also have a box of timber gauge blocks (metric for Australia). I then design my projects according to the gauge blocks, to simplify project builds.

Great video. Totally agree with the M12 driver/drill. I avoid picking up the 18v units because they are too heavy/bulky. Mahalo for sharing Chris. : )

Totally agree with the 12v tools. I use a different brand, but they are my go to tools. I have the 20v for when I have to, but they don't get used very much. Thanks

Really like the channel man. I like how you mix up all different skills in your projects and are always learning. I strive for that myself. Eager to share, you stay honest and humble. Respect. Keep making them, and I'll keep watching. Thanks for sharing your journey and tips along the way. Wish you and the family well... cool knife, by the way. Well done

Great video! Thanks Chris!

Merry Christmas to you, your family, everyone there at Make Everything and to all the subscribers. 🎅

The most used tool is well thought out with so many tools that I narrowed down over years of working. There are several that got my attention that I will have to get in the future. Those stickers you make are def high quality. I bought mine pre covid and still floats around on my old case, I need to order more!

Hi Chris, hope you're well and looking forward to your well-earned holidays. Another great video. I really like your choice of tools, especially the lighter power tools. I moved over to 12v a few years ago and haven't looked back. I watched an interesting video recently where the heads of the Milwaukee standard and low angle grinders were switched to make for a variable speed low angle grinder which was suited to the maker, but not yet made by Milwaukee. Improvise, adapt, overcome, as they say. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the great work.👍

GREAT REVIEW W O W

Looking forward to seeing your 2024 videos

Jack of all, master of none. Jack of all, master of many. I believe you are the latter. Great video!

That sticker at the end is sweet. Gonna be slapping one in my hard hat now

Awesome as always Chris! Keep fighting the good fight!

Cool video and that EDC knife you showed us that you made is a beauty!

Heh... My shop is also Ryobi and Milwaukee. For what I paid, I just cannot beat the value from the Ryobi stuff. I've only been disappointed by one or two of their tools (and their warranty process is so painful that it's not worth the trouble) out of the 20 or so that I have. The Milwaukee tools are noticeably and clearly better quality, but I don't always need that.

1:00 dang that titanium looks great

Just fyi most 123 and 246 block are good for parallel, not good for 90 degree angles. Good video.

Need to get that combo torx / Philips bit

Make two glazers pouches. I’ll buy one.

What welding table do you use?

Hey partner, I'm an avid Milwaukee tool user. And I know TTI makes Milwaukee and Ryobi. But I wondered if you had used the Milwaukee battery fan? I've invested in the Milwaukee battery's, so I'm hoping that the fan is worth buying. Wanted your thoughts! Thanks for another great video.

I do have the Milwaukee fan as well, it’s good, but I’ve found the ryobi fan has a longer run time on a 4.0ah battery. Plus the ryobi fans are usually part of a $99 ryobi deal where for $99 you get two 4.0 ah batteries and a fan . The ryobi fan will do 8 hours on low on a 4ah no problem

1) Looking at your conversion chart it again becomes clear to me how totally backwards it all is. I guess I'd should mount somewhere one that starts with 0.1 mm ... 2) I also always grab for my 12V drills and tools ... except I use Makita (that I can actually repair instead of filling the dump unnecessary - for us concerned about our uber-consumer society?). 3) I just cannot live without my Mora knives. Since I do fine woodworking I always carry a 1.3 mm Pro Flex (S) on me, but also keep some thicker blade models around

What brand was the calipers (don't see a link) I got one from harbor freight, but the thing is dead every time I go to use it, even making sure to press off before putting away

Whoops I forgot the link! Just added it but if you search “Kynup digital caliper” on Amazon you’ll find them for $22 with a $4 off coupon so $18!

@@MakeEverything NICE! So I guess from your description, the auto off feature saves the battery so it's not always dead? (Have no idea why even when you turn them off the batteries go dead so fast, gotta still be drawing current)

@@justinbanks2380 exactly! So far every time I’ve reached for them they turn right on and the screen is nice and bright. The worst thing is grabbing a measuring tool and having it be dead because it left itself in for weeks

Welding would be a great skill to acquire. Do you offer beginner classes?

Having a unit conversion chart on an internet-connected device makes no sense to me, but maybe if you're pinching for time...

About stickers with conversion dimension. I live & work in europe as handyman and I am very surprise how americans still have imperial sistem ... it is a waist of time . I realy apreciate american trade people , very hard working and inovative , but regarding this particular detail I just do not understand . At least you try to change something.
