    I just subscribed to your channel. No talking, no life story, just doing the job, that's what I like.

      Thanks! To be honest this kind of videos is a lot easier to make than the ones with a proper host.

    Attention all you-tube DIY'ers, please learn from this person.

      @Milo Roland i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
      Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

    Video Format: Excellent. No useless dialog, no stupid grunge music, short and to the point.
    Shop Practices: I get a little anxious watching your fingers in harm's way on that table saw!

    • @TheSmallWorkshop
      @TheSmallWorkshop  8 лет назад

      Thanks for your concern, but that is a 2 inch blade that only sticks around a quarter inch above the table. So worst case scenario it nicks my fingers! ...But, given my recent luck, it will probably pull me into the saw one day... bet that would make a great video!

  • @NewHampshireJack
    @NewHampshireJack 9 лет назад

    Great project. Here in the Philippines, I would surly here "out of stock" at any local hardware store. The sad part is, several times I had to "eyeball" the center and live with the results. This is now on my to do list as soon as we return from a visa run to Thailand. Thank you for the inspiration.

    • @TheSmallWorkshop
      @TheSmallWorkshop  9 лет назад

      Out of stock is still something, here where I live they never heard of such tool :)

      The algorithms decided that it was relative to you. It is one of the rare cases that it was actually relative to you. Be happy. :)
      The algorithms never work for me. Yesterday someone sent me a link to a gross video and the ad before the video was about food. xD

  • @andreisima1977
    @andreisima1977 9 лет назад +1

    :) Awesome seeing DIY stuff made locally. Nice shop and nice tools. That screwdriver handle is awesome.
    Last time i saw somebody using a "analog" caliper was 15 years ago and that was the last day of work of my dad.
    TIP: When you drill aluminium use small steps, plunge retract plunge retract. AL and other soft alloys drilled or machined with a steel purpose tool have a nasty tendency to stick to the tool resulting a pull of the tool into the material causing unexpected problems. Yes that is a thin profile but i bet you hand secured on the other end.
    Keep Up.

    • @TheSmallWorkshop
      @TheSmallWorkshop  9 лет назад +2

      Multumesc! I was surprised myself when I noticed there are few DIYers from our country, at a time we were proud we can fix everything. I guess today we are more proud when we can buy everything.
      Thanks for the tip, sometimes I follow safety rules, sometimes I take chances and sometimes I get hurt. In this case the aluminum was clamped to the wood piece and the tail of the clamp itself prevented rotation in case the tool caught. I need to make a proper table for the drill press to allow better clamping but I have little time for the workshop and a long to do list :)

    • @TheSmallWorkshop
      @TheSmallWorkshop  8 лет назад

      Thanks, it has a 2 inch carbide blade now and it's even cuter, LOL. It can now pretend it's a real saw. But to be honest, I find it extremely useful, it's so quiet I can use it at night with my family sleeping two doors down the hall. And it can cut half inch in one go, so I can cut up to an inch thick material if i flip it, which is more than enough for most projects. And it's not as scary as a full size saw.

    • @TheSmallWorkshop
      @TheSmallWorkshop  9 лет назад +1

      Thanks! It's an (obviously homemade) attachment for the mini proxxon lathe. Made it before I made videos. It's basically a shaft with the saw blade on it rotating between centers of the lathe. The table it's made from laminate flooring and it snaps on the lathe.
      I plan to make a new miniature saw from scratch, not depending on the lathe and with height adjustment. I'll definitely make a video of that one.
