The Toronto Tool Library is exactly as it sounds: just like a library, but for tools! As part of the sharing economy, we offer our members everything from tools for home repair, maintenance and gardening projects to iFixit kits for electronics to 3D printing, laser cutting & woodworking in our Makerspace.
Life is better when shared.

Man, amazing channel and teacher!
really great video series, you should keep making videos
OMG! Why didn’t I watch this first, I’m new to CAD and am trying to wrap my head around it 🤬, this has cleared up many things and more, I’m trying to create a simple design (not for me so far)for an instrument panel so I can get some 3mm aluminium sheet cut to spec, thanks sooo much! 👍👍👍👍
great video thanks
This is so cool! I just signed up for a TTL membership. I'm new to all of this stuff and I'm looking forward to the different training sessions/ workshops offered!
How would I rotate the base to say 30 degrees instead of being flat?

Great tutorial, helped alot One issue is that you didnt show how to transform the side part to match the bottom part when the depth of the tabs changed. True it doesn't make any difference in the cutting, for such a simple object. HOWEVER if u had, say a 4th board that connects the sides and bottoms (Ie., you design an enclosure) you would be screwed - because u didn't move the side to match the new bottom and the connection tabs for the 4th wall would be in wrong place (maybe now, even outside the actual model). I think u should of included that.
Why does this channel only have around 700 subscribers... just why? That feels just wrong ...
3:34 That's such a meta label for the clamp station. It's actually 'Clamps' from the Robot Mafia! There's a lot of Joe Pesci in Clamps.
Your FreeCAD tutorials are excellent.
This should save me a ton of time!
This is the best Freecad tutorial for beginners I have come across, well done and thank you
more easy with lcinterlocking freecad addon.
I have watched a lot of videos on free cad but yours are great because you go slow and give examples I would enjoy a full class from you thanks for all your time and effort !!
this video serie on laser cutting deserves way more views!
Really great videos. Thank you. Just one question. When the pockets are not in the middle, but right on one side, I have to trimm the side, which leads to loss of several constraints - do I do something wrong?
Hey there! Most likely you would be losing a "vertical" or "horizontal" constraint when you use the trim tool. You see when you cut a line, the software makes a decision on which resulting line segment should get the constraint that used to be applied to the full line. So you may have to apply that constraint to the new section of line created by the trim. Also, you may need to apply vertical/horizontal to the points of your corners to ensure they stay aligned.
Thanks for your fast and valid answer. Appreciate your videos a lot. Regards from germany.
I've been working with FreeCad for 3D print design for a few years and just started doing designs for laser cutting. This 3-part tutorial was exactly what I needed. I love the style of detailed explanation. There are a number of different how-to videos for such things but often they take things for granted and move so fast I have to pause it and try everything to see what I missed, but I could watch this and walk away ready to apply all of these techniques. One thing I'd like to see is a tutorial on working with text cutouts, both using stencil fonts and fonts that aren't designed for stencil. Also I am learning about some of the nuances of running complex jobs with both inner and outer cuts combined with engraving. What makes this series really valuable is that it reflects a LOT of experience condensed into a presentation that someone thought about how to present. Fantastic!
Thanks very much!
Wow... Other tutorials make it feel like black magic, you make it so simple I feel stupid for not getting it myself. Thank you!
Great teaching video, best freecad talk I've seen
Phenomenal video. I downloaded freecad this morning because I'm interested in laser cutting some models for a hobby project, and thought I'd have a good handle on it coming from mesh modeling software like Blender, but was totally lost. You've helped me immensely!
New FreeCAD student and out of the hours of videos scouring the internet. You are by far the best in not only explanation but honest demeanor all together!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much, really glad these videos can help. :)
Since I started 3D printings a few months ago, i've been watching dozens of FreeCAD tutorials but none of them was as clear and instructive as this 3 video series, and by far. I finally understood the practical purpose and use of "bodies", "clone", "sub-shape binder" and "draft workbench". Fantastic work, it should be much more promoted by YT.
😊
😮😮
Nice. Good. Thanx. I've been thinking about how to do this for a long time.
This is a great feature! Well done!
Thank you so much. Coming out of the pandemic closures this video really helped us rally, and we are so grateful to Gut And Grit video production who helped us make it. They are fantastic.
@@TorontotoollibraryIRBE Thank you for the shout out. Happy to be part of this project and support the organization. Keep up the good work.
Urg, I don't miss the masks lol
quite honestly, does not work at all the way you show it. Completely different, I cannot understand why others hail this stuff so much
Got any details we should update? Would be happy to know more.
Fantastic series!, would love to see a more advance version of this for more complex parts
Excellent work. I'd like to stress that when you enter unit values in the spreadsheet, everyone should get in the habit ( as you do... and made me look twice ) of entering the units in the cells themselves i.e. "5 mm" vs. simply the value 5. Entering units in cells will oblige you to also enter units in formulas as well ( i.e. 70mm + Spreadsheet.MaterialThickness * 2 ) but it will solve all kinds of problems in the long run if you use multiple multiple unit systems ( metric vs imperial ) in your day to day designs. When you specify units in spreadsheet cells, the values will convert to the selected unit system and all your parametric formulas will recalculate correctly.
Yes! That has caught a lot of people in the shop. I made a separate video about it, I should upload that one.
very well done -- i appreciated that 'clone' click as much as you did... 'nice' :)
Hi! I love your tutorials, they are so well said. So when you use the Shape 2D View and then make changes to the design (i.e. material width), you then have to repeat the whole process all over again? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Yes, I'm afraid that is true. Shape2DView is not dynamic, so changes to the model do not automatically get updated in them.
Awesome video! I've been following it step by step just to get the hand out of freecad. A newbie question: How can I bring the measurements on screen? When I apply the constraints they are not appearing.
Hey there! I think I understand. When you create constraints in the Sketcher workbench the measurements will be visible. But if you exit the sketcher workbench you will no longer see the dimensions. However, you can use the "dimension" tool you can measure between any two points and dimension will remain visible, even in other workbenches like Part Design. Also, if you want very good drawings with dimensions you can make use of the TechDraw workbench, which has excellent options for making full technical drawings.
@@TorontotoollibraryIRBE Thank you so much! I will definitely give that a shot
Underrated video! Amazing work, excellent explanation, pure gold right here! Keep it up, looking forward to part 2 and beyond
Thanks very much! We've got quite a few more videos, they are just in editing right now.
Love this so much! Wish I had known about the tool library sooner! We have a diy project (a simple shelf piece, with some arched peices), how can I get in touch about our project?
Hey there! Best way is to email the support ticket system, support-at-torontotoollibrary-dot-com with the details. Look forward to hearing from you.
In this case, where the bodies are each a single padded sketch, you could also export or clone the sketches instead of using the 2d projection tool.
Will give it a try! Thanks.
OMG, I been calling 'driver bits', 'drill bits' my whole dumb life! Very educational!
Hey if I went to the location and have an idea Iike build like a custom bag. Will someone be able to help me? What do i need to do to get access to tools?
Jen here. With a ttlmakerspace membership you can access the leatherworking tools. Just ask at the desk when signing in. I'll be happy to help when I have time but can't guarantee anything.
There is also a good website for the makerspace - ttlmakerspace.com

Thanks Tim! Always love shooting with you ☺️
What an amazing facility and enthusiastic builders!
They are indeed very enthusiastic. Kids love working with tools.
Excellent initiative 👏👏
Hey what happened to your "how to start a library of things" video??? That was really great and educational, and I had hoped to refer back to it
Hey thanks! Not totally sure what's up, it is still in our content library. Will investigate, thanks for mentioning.
@@TorontotoollibraryIRBE thanks for getting back to me! Love your content and would love a TL in my town :D
I'm from Toronto and was interested in building things. How does it work if you want to join?
Hey Nompack! You are welcome to join - a good place to start would be at the website for TTLMakerspace: ttlmakerspace.com Hope to see you there!
@@TorontotoollibraryIRBE thanks, do I have to bring my own materials? I would like to learn 3d printing and make something from wood
@@TKGZONE We have some materials on-hand, as well as some storage options. And we do indeed feature 3D printing, and have a full woodshop we instruct from. Be happy to show you around!
good done.
