Making A Vintage Plumb Bob

This is a simple project, made on the wood lathe. I wanted to recreate a vintage plumb bob.
And I wanted to do it for a practical reason, I am renovating part of my house and I can't seem to find two bubble levels to show me the same vertical, so I thought this ancient technology could be used to calibrate the levels.

that little inside joke" that looks familiar" had me in stitches
When you popped the bit of the lathe out I started laughing uncontrollably, I was not expecting it to fly out of there as fast as it did 🤣

Nice shot!
The matching vintage neon yellow nylon cord is a nice touch.
I never miss your videos. Amazing as usual!
Creativity is on point. Simple but beautiful. Well done sir.
yes 100% right!
Thank you very much!
@@TheSmallWorkshop Where have you gone?
_"I had to put on clothes for this shot."_
Hahahaha, took me a few seconds to get it.
Very, very enjoyable. And I think I've got one of those bottle stoppers somewhere... Cheers mate, that was fun.
Glad you enjoyed it
That was awesome! Nice work!
Lmao, so i wasn't the only one who thought of making a plumb bob out of those cork stoppers. :)) I've been eyeing one at the local market, percolating the idea of using it.
Too good to use on a construction job!
Fancy Plumb Bob. Loved the wood working. Well done, mate.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job! Nice design looks very nice 👍👍👍
Simply amazing, beautiful!
Simple, Awesome, Beautiful
Beautiful, dude! Nicely done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice work!
I initially thought it would be a top toy! 😅
Fantastic job.
What a beauty!
Lovely!
Super beautiful. 😊
I totally read this as plumb bomb. Nice video !!
awesome great tool making👏👏
Man I really really missed you. Your videos are amazing and hilarious
Super arată lemnul acela! Arată atât de bine încât e păcat sa folosești scula asta pentru ceea ce e menit sa facă! Te salut !
Salut! E mai mult showpiece decat de folosit pe santier. Realitatea e ca am vrut sa folosesc o sfoara sa verific daca laserul de la lidl e bun de ceva. De aici mi-a venit idea sa fac ceva mai vintage, pt ocazii speciale 😀😀😀
@@TheSmallWorkshop super a iesit
Nice work indeed
That's really cool
You made me wanna try and get into wood working and stuff like that. Now all I need is a shit ton of money and even more training
No you don't. I started on my desk with a dremmel and some hand tools. And youtube as a teacher.
Excellent work as always! Funny comment about "familiar shape" :))
Nice job
TRES BELLE IDEE ! Magnifique
Awesome
It came out great. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thank you!

Nice!
Very nice
Ohhh a "Plumb bob" thats a precision tool indeed.
I, like so many others, are hoping you have a project or two that you'll be uploading in the near future.
👍😎
👍 nice
"shape looks familiar" 👀😳
Cool
sir that’s bhutt plug
Nice.
Thanks!
Had to put on cloths for this shot got me dieing
You were having way too much fun with the captions XD
I like this you...(tôi thích xem KÊNH nầy. Vừa hiện đại, vừa nhanh chóng, chuẩn xác...)😅😅😅❤❤❤
When I was growing up in Cuba, the kids in my neighborhood would play with these all the time. If you could spin it on the ground and then pick it up and keep it spinning in the palm of your hand you were basically the biggest badass in the world.
Now this is some 3AM worthy material
Show de bola meu amigo parabéns pelo seu trabalho ganhou mais um inscrito e deixo aquele like valeu👍🏻👍🏻💯💯🤝
I wasn't expecting that, I thought it would turn out to be a awl ?
Great that your making tools, I'd sooner make tools for me and friends than just ornaments :-) just subscribed too. ;-)
Thanks 👍
رائع 👌🏻✨
Top 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙋♂️
Bro this the type of shit I watch when I’m high af at 3 in the morning
very nice design do you have any for a chalk line
I was thinking about making a chalk line but most of them were made entirely from metal. I use a chalk line quite often so I'll probably make one someday.
What's this? for what?
Read the description
And to expand in the description, it’s just a fancy weight on a string so you can get true vertical lines accurately
Looks great and good work and all..but for what do you use it? What can it do?^^
You can mark straight vertical lines. Most bubble levels are not very accurate and you can use gravity to check if they are good or not. Of course a rock tied to a string could do the same thing, but I wanted to have a fancy one.
It’s for marking 🖊
It's for bobbing your plum, of course. ;-)
@@TheSmallWorkshop A laser from Lidl would do the job but that takes longer to set up.
I have the laser from lidl, the professional one, but i did not trust the chinese electronics inside so wanted to check it...
Nice work
After watching your birdcage awl video a few years ago, I'm really happy you got a real lathe again; that drill setup was sketchy as hell...!
Thanks 👍
"Shape looks familiar" 🤨?
If you know, you know :D
How do you keep your shop so clean?
Beautiful work! That winder is really something; there's a curve for every eye. But I need to ask: Why the epoxy?? The bob would have stayed together perfectly well without it and without the epoxy the bob would be repairable!! That makes the tool sustainable....
I wanted the rod to be glued to the wood so I can easely remove the round nut and replace the string, which I expect to wear out quite fast. I must admit I did not thought about replacing the wooden part in the future.
👍
Why have you stop posting? Your videos are epic
زبردست
Did you say Plumbus?
Reference to the Multidimensional TV from Rick and Morty
здорово
So niceee
No sit on tests?
Интернет безнадёжно меня испортил(
Единственная мысль о том, как использовать это устройство, связана с задницей.
of what? better yet of who?(ಠ_ಠ)📸
@@fishyfish0v099 AYOOOOO
The first tool used on the lathe, does it have a name?
How does it work?
It's used to check verticality in construction jobs mostly. Basically a fancy string with a weight. It's more accurate than lasers or bubble levels though and more practical in some applications.

3:37 my brain is testing me...
3:59 OH FFS! D:
Ué e não mostrou funcionando !?!!!
What’s a plumb bob?
It means Bob is Straight. 😁
When suspended, it marks both a specific point directly below it, while also establishing a perfect vertical.
Ever seen road crews setting up yellow tripods near roads or intersections, and looking through camera-like devices? Those are surveyor crews, and they used to use tools like plum-bobs before GPS became cheaper and more accurate.
It's not only still a functional bottle stopper, it is also the world's worst yoyo!
Smoga sukses slaluu...
Mohon dukungan balikyaaaaaa....
WOULD BE NICE IF YOU OFFERED THESE PLUMB BOBS FOR SALE, SINCE NOT EVERYONE HAS A LATHE, AND FEWER STILL HAVE YOUR SKILLS TO PRODUCE ONE.

You are very creative and talented. I just binge watched about 6 of your videos. Keep up the good work!
사게부리?
I watched this whole vid and still have no clue what a plum bob is.
It's for marking vertical lines in construction work. Ancient technology that is more accurate than any modern tool.
the major problem with this too is that someone will steal it, especially on a building site
??
The problem is that it's crafted so beautifully someone will.want to steal it?
I'm sure it's sharp enough to pierce through their skin if you stab them with the tip of the sliver part and if not I'm sure that it will still hurt.

Nice number btw

I feel bad for the uneducated minds roaming the internet and asking the question "what is that for?" And suggesting some x rated use for a masterfully made tool. I feel bad for my kids generation.
And all made from recycled materials! Great work! If you don't have the proper tool. Make it!
