    You're channel is partly responsible for my getting into woodworking. Watching you create so many interesting things inspired me to get into the creative side of construction. I grew up in a construction family and my first job at 5 was going around behind my uncles and grandfather and cleaning up the jobsite during the summer. By age 10 I was taking measurements and installing siding and windows. By age 16, I was finally able to bid, sell and complete my own jobs when not busy with school. Then I enlisted after 9/11, leaving behind my own business at age 19. I have since worked various jobs, mostly in security. But I missed working construction, even though I was no longer physically capable of doing the work(I hurt my back badly while serving).
    When I came across your channel, for the first couple of years I just enjoyed watching your projects. Slowly, I started finding other channels, many through your recommendations, and gained more and more interest in woodworking. I had experience with the tools used, but had sold almost all of my tools except my first circular saw and a few hand tools. So I started out with my first project of building a work bench, then a jig to use my circular saw as a makeshift table saw, then building cutting boards for family gifts. Then I started aquiring more tools. Now, I'm considering starting my own business again. This time, instead of building room additions or remodeling, I will be building cabinets and furniture and some trim carpentry. But if I had not first found your channel, which lead me back down the rabbit hole, I'd probably be sitting behind a desk somewhere, fighting against sleep while watching security cameras and wishing I had something to do besides watch RUclips on my phone.
    Thank you for sharing what you do. It means a lot to people like me.

I just recently finished my second fence build(bought the plans twice~to show support), this time for my contractors saw(which i built from a rigid that had a super shitty fence system)and i can not tell people just how much enjoyment i get from using these things. Earlier this year i had one inspector admire my set up, one. That one was so worth it. Thanks John.

    I have a great deal of admiration for this channel in that John has made some wonderous things out of wood. In watching some of these videos however, it begs the question: at what point does it make sense to move on to metal working and fabricating things out of brass, aluminum, and tool steel? Before you say price, understand that this is a hobby and a passion for most of us. We are all shelling out a great deal of time and money amassing the equipment and know-how to build our projects, it isn't just the cost of the raw materials.

    These are really awesome clamps. Since you can slide of the the moving jaw so easily, you only really need about 10 moving jaws. You can then make as many different lengths of bars you want, and since they are slimmer and more low-profile than the ones with notches, they take up less storage space. They are great looking too!

      The best mechanism to lock onto a metal bar is the slotted plate that you see in the typical F clamp. However it's tricky to make the slot the right size where it actually works correctly.

    John, I first started watching your videos several years ago, after watching Matthias. At first I thought your projects and videos were inferior to Matthias (such as testing the long reach clamps), but now your projects and videos are much better. I look forward to each of your releases, like your sense of humor, and find the projects very interesting and well thought out. I noticed the zero clearance insert on your miter saw and was wondering if you made a video for it. Very seldom post, but figured I owed you a statement of thanks for producing great videos. Keep up the good work.

    Very cool. What is the longest you could see making these? Say, to glue up cutting boards or tabletops that might be 12"? or 24"? or 36"? I guess at some point if they got longer you would "beef up" the parts, maybe making the stationary parts 3/4"? I'm wondering if these could replace long bar clamps or long pipe clamps, or if they are really meant to be an alternative to the 12"-16" variety. Thanks.
