  1. Whoa! Donโ€™t catch a real machete like that! ๐Ÿ˜… great job, love the banter throughout!!

  2. Fun video, it would be interesting to see you take that drill guide and fix it and make it useful. Look forward to seeing you bend some metal with that bender. Or you can make your own and do a comparison cost of your homemade one versus the cost of the store-bought and one. Keep the videos coming.

  3. Pretty nice stuff this time, Dave! Really nice! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
    Stay safe there with your family! ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿ˜Š

  4. I know these product review videos are simpler and not technically making something, but I really enjoy them start to finish. Please keep doing them.

  5. That exact drill guide thingy can be bought in german offline stores for 9โ‚ฌ (10$). It works okay-ish with metric sized drills and for that price is acceptable, but heck no for 30$.

  6. 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

  7. “I mean, this ins’t a math cannel…” Freaking great! Love these episodes, David. As a fellow gen-x maker, I get it.

  8. 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.

  9. Out of all of those items, those router bits that gave you no tear-out and no dust looked to be the most useful to me. I do a lot of templates on my router table so yeah.

  10. We got that flexible template for our spindle moulder! We use it to make jigs, It’s OK, we don’t use it for anything precise more for decorative curves. For something where the radius is really important I prefer to use a trammel on a router!

  11. Fun video! FYI – that mechanical pencil on the scribe tool has a sharpener built into the back cap. It’s tiny, but functional and always on hand.

  12. At this point, One of these companies is sending ads just to you with inflated prices knowing you HAVE to buy.

  13. Terrific video David! I always enjoy these “Let’s find out what’s in the box” videos! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  14. 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.

  15. Always entertaining and educational! ๐Ÿ˜‹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.

  16. Great concept, everyone would love to do this but just canโ€™t risk the loss of money but you took one for the team ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  17. 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.
