Dear Sir, enjoyed your review of fast cap tape measure. Forgive my imposition, would you know of a laser tape measure specifically designed for violin maintenance? I need a quick working accurate tape measure for reading distance from top edge of bridge to edge of nut on my violin. The distance changes very often as the violin gets tuned, the bridge to nut ratio changes because of string tension. Im hoping a laser would read more accurately and be simpler to use. Thank you for demonstrating this on an actual 4/4 size violin if your able. The distance would be in millimeters. 328mm is the working length that must be maintained for optimal tone. Am wondering which laser tape measure would be best suited for such application? Thanks for any help. C.e. usa.😅

@user-do5hd7zb4x hi, I’ve never made a violin myself, but if you have to make repeated measurements of precise length, I would recommend using a story stick. In your case, as the measurements have to be so precise you might want to make your story stick out of something like brass. As for laser measures, there are many good ones in the market, I have one made by Bosch that is very good. kzread.info/dash/bejne/i2SrxKOsYdy7p5s.html

be careful when buying a ryobi palm router ........the collar sticks and is hard to remove. check it at the store before buying. i bought one and the collar WOULD NOT come off. --even the men at the store could not get it off except to stand on it and pull up!!!!! as i was exchanging it for a second one a lady who had bought one previously said they were notorious for the collar being very hard to remove.

A colleague of mine is using this drill. The sound when hammer function is on is really annoying and ear-piercing high pitch. Drilling brick that is, not even concrete. Especially when he’s choosing drill speed too high “I’m a tough man and I want to get the job done fast” without ear protection noise is quite unbearable. I don’t know any corded hammer drill sounding that annoying…

I buy one and use it each time. Just a comment, you can put the fence on top, then you can use a metal or wood guide to cut a large panel. On my kit, there is a metal plate of 0.6mm, this metal plane is inserted like the saw. So, you can verify your line before cutting. I use it also to control the 90° vertical adjustment.

Quick tip for calipers: To measure the distance between to holes of the same size, first turn the caliper over and use the small, inner arms and zero them in one of the holes. Then flip it back over and measure the holes from the walls nearest to each other and that's you center to center distance. 😊

Just picked up this beautiful little tool a week or two ago and now stumbled on your video. The blade is fully flattened, polished and sharpened out of the box which is a nice touch. And it cuts like a dream. Blue Spruce just came out with a spearpoint blade version which gets into corners and tight spaces very nicely. Thanks for doing this video!
