  • One of Adam's everyday carries is his favorite multi-tool, the Leatherman Wave. But the leather sheath that comes with the tool is too slow and cumbersome for Adam's needs, so today he makes a custom metal holster based on his own design. In the process, Adam shares several tips for metalworking and introduces a few favorite tools in the Cave's new metal shop.

    • @TheEpicRandomality
      @TheEpicRandomality 7 лет назад +31

      Not really, those saws are set up to be coarse and fast with the deep aggressive teeth, they also are not biased to cut in either direction but cut in both so they effectively cut twice as fast as most saws. Its all just clever engineering to make the small saws effective.

    • @kerradeph
      @kerradeph 7 лет назад +9

      Yeah, I had one when I was out camping and I was like "here, let me cut down this sapling that we can use to support a tarp" and they were laughing saying it would take like an hour to go through it. It wasn't as fast as Adam but it took maybe 3-4 minutes to go through about a 4-5" diameter sapling.

    • @MangoLassie142
      @MangoLassie142 7 лет назад +3

      I bought a surge and then immediately returned it for a wave. The extra weight and bulk, and not having a dedicated large saw and file killed it for me. The Wave is so close to objectively better, except it doesn't have an awl, which is annoying.

      Earlier this year I was helping family move and we couldn't get the old couch down the stairs so we had to take it apart. The only problem was the tools had already been packed and shipped away. We only had a hammer so we ended up chopping up the couch with the back prying end of the hammer and it took hours. Seeing the Wave cut that board in 20 seconds caused me to go out and buy one immediately. Next time something like that happens I will be prepared!

    • @DaGleese
      @DaGleese 9 лет назад +1

      holdmybeer You are absolutely right. Bending is CRITICAL in a workshop. Bending usually happens after you have laser cut a bunch of parts etc, and if even a slight mistake were to happen, you could be looking at redoing an entire workpiece that hours of labour have already been invested into.
      We recently got a new guy (who knows what he is doing) in to work our bending presses, where before everyone would just do it themselves with no training. Massive difference in completion time, and far less mistakes.

      *raises hand* I have a question.
      Wouldn't aluminum be easier to bend though due to it being softer than most metals, therefore easier to work with than, IDK, for example, stainless steel?

  • @TerryPullen
    @TerryPullen 10 лет назад +4

    I have made a lot of cell phone holsters this way. My favorite way to make them is to wrap paper around the device that will eventually go in the holster, mark your bend lines with a pencil unfold the paper and transfer the lines to the sheet metal. I usually use a spray adhesive to apply the paper to the sheet metal then bend on the lines. If you practice with just the paper first you can get the steps in order so your not getting in your own way.
    For the belt loop I would have made a set of simple dies. Create the female die by super gluing built-up layers of wood to make a rectangular recess about a 1/4" deep. Build the male half of the die like it was a punch. Cut the die shape on one end, leave enough room for a hand hold in the middle and make room to whack it on the end opposite the male die. After clamping the sheet metal in place over the female die set the male die in the appropriate location and whack it with a hammer punch style to form the loop.
    Another way to do this is make a wooden pattern that mimics the size and shape of the device you want to hold then just form the metal around the wood pattern that way you don't need any fancy sheetmetal tools.
    If you want something like a sheet metal break but don't want to spend the money look for sheet metal bending pliers, they are affordable and work pretty well. Sheet metal shears work great and if you have a lot of cutting to do a jigsaw sporting a sheet metal blade clamped upside down in a vise works almost as good as a band saw. You will want to clean up that cut with a file.
    For more delicate objects try lining what will become the inside of the metal with something soft like cork, rubber sheet or Plasti Dip before bending, it will take some adjusting as you go but it works great to protect more delicate stuff like cell phones.
    Try this, its fun!

      The thing is that most people aren't experts on building things, like myself, I've never seen dead blow hammer before last time I build anything that wasn't software or small electronics was 10 years ago, but I love these videos and you'll always pick up something new a idea or a name for a tool you didn't even knew existed.

Now Im 16 and I still have that same multi tool. I bring it everywhere except for school. You never know when you could need it. Oh, and instead of using a belt and pouch, I wear cargo pants. My favorite cargo pants are the True spec 24-7. They come in shorts or pants. Great for concealed cary with a fire arm or multi tool.

      +kaizoebara Kydex holds things where they snap in and out. Because the leatherman is all metal you can use a metal funnel like this and it is one finger out and in. I don't think he would prefer kydex. Kydex is also very nasty for you when heated for forming.

    • @JMPDev
      @JMPDev 8 лет назад +3

      +Hondo Trailside Yeah, I think the whole point here for Adam was so that it could work seamlessly with a single finger. No way you're going to get that with kydex which would require you to grab the leatherman and pull it out of it.

  • @JAMB0S0
    @JAMB0S0 8 лет назад +7

    For those of you considering doing this, when bending sheet metal at 90degree angles you can work out exactly how much the metal will stretch as long as you know the radius you're using and the gauge material.
    (0.4292 X Bend Radius) + (1.37618 X Guage) = Bend Allowance
    This can then be subtracted from your blank so you dont end up with tool holders which are too big ;)
    There is another equation for working out other angled bends but its much longer and I dont have that one memorised.
    Also in my opinion box and pan benders are garbage for this sort of work (my opinion) I much prefer the accuracy and adaptability of a fly press (i believe theyre called something different over seas) so if you have access to one then try that out instead :)
