+Matthias Wandel I bet you would've just built your own power tools and a complete shop with just a couple of old washing machine motors and the trees in the backyard.
+dingsdadesign He does seem like the woodworking version of the Professor from Gilligan's Isle... I wanna know when he's going to make a functional helicopter from pallets.
I applaud your determination to complete the project with basic tools, especially the sawing! It looked a little scary at times! But if you keep this up, you might be in better shape then when you started. Seems to be side affect of using hand tools! Congrats again for the newest addition to the family! And love the design of the pour over!
As a coffee addict I approve of this method. You can buy those filters all over the world though, most recently they've been branded "coffee sock" I believe.
As a Costa Rican, raised in Massachusetts, I am impressed. Nice work! Inspires me to make my own. I’m half Puerto Rican, and we call them a colador, which is much easier to pronounce than chorreador 😄
In Venezuela we use the same thing but it is call "Colador" from the word "colar". I still use it sometimes. I use the Greka coffee maker too. Which is quick and easy.
I've seen a method to hold a drill bit in a T handle. It might take a while to bore, but it would be less effort than ripping with a hand saw! Very impressive build quality! I see a a new cottage industry for you MIke!
Professor from Gillian's island nor the flintstones hold a candle to you. Although I felt so bad for you having to scrounge around. Congrats. Felicitaciones!
Great video Mike and awesome use of hand tools. It's funny how the same thing has different names on different countries. In Puerto Rico the "Chorreador de Café" is called "Colador de Café", meaning coffee strainer.
Holy Crap!... That's doing things the hard way. Good job. Just goes to prove , you don't have to have all the fancy tools if you want to make something.... Just make something!
guess costaricans like the soound of the two rrs together in Panama it's called colador like in PR and some other latam countries - I like this design a lot because you can bring it to camping with you and seems easy to store - you did it!!!!
around the 20 second mark I can see the huge drops of sweat hitting the ground... Like Matthias, I am beyond impressed with you tackling these projects. Seriously... gouging a hole in the wood with chisels!?!? Also, I've used coping saws before, and getting them to cut a straight line is no walk in the park. Cool, Mike!
Really impressive! I love your resourcefulness and improvisation! Here's an idea for you, you could try to design and build a 2 in 1 rocking horse/feeding chair! I've seen it done before so I know it's possible 😁
Holy elbow grease! I also know the struggle of trying to communicate with locals when you don't speak the language, I was deployed to Spain for 8 months and we mostly uses a very rudimentary sign language and pointing at things lol
i admire your enthusiasm but please buy or build some portable saw horses I am really entertained but I worry about you injuring yourself lol. still shows us you can make anything with very little tools!
You really scared me with the chisel and the box cutter so close to your legs. Could have slipped and gouged into your leg...glad it didn't. Please be safe. Use a quick bench hook with superglue and nails (I recently made a video). The bench hook will work placed against any table surface with a lip. Also, a piece of string will work as a clamp too. Most Japanese shashimono woodworkers used silk ribbons. Clamps were rarely used.
Yeah... I understand this guy seems to want to use as few tools as possible, but he's GOTTA get a C-clamp for that, and fix it to a table. Carving on his lap like that was incredibly risky for his leg.
In their monthly report email they list out their RUclips earnings. They haven't sent out February's report yet but for January it was 535.70 with 203 in expenses.
These no tools builds are impressive in their own way!
only if he could build them right? 😉

+dingsdadesign yes he would!
+Matthias Wandel Thanks! Looking forward to getting back in the shop with a better appreciation of what I have.
Unbelievable! The patience you have to do all of that w/o any power tools or a real shop is astounding. Nice job Mike!
Wow! Mike instead of twiddling your thumbs you painstakingly built a beautiful and useful coffee maker. Your son will learn much from you.
I think the most impressive thing is that you made this with the little available tools you have.
It's like MacGyver of woodworking.

I would never have considered making this without power tools, you did a great job, beautiful work.
As a Costa Rican, raised in Massachusetts, I am impressed. Nice work! Inspires me to make my own. I’m half Puerto Rican, and we call them a colador, which is much easier to pronounce than chorreador 😄
Where there is a need creativity turns as the best power tool!
As kids we used bent nails as drill bits and we were turning them by hand
Great video.
In Venezuela we use the same thing but it is call "Colador" from the word "colar". I still use it sometimes. I use the Greka coffee maker too. Which is quick and easy.
good job!! greetings from cartago!!! soy tico y la verdad te quedo muy bonito el chorreador (C'est super! )

+Strong Man I thought about using a t-handle or even creating a bow (like a fire starter). It was more fun asking around for a drill :)
Gracias. Café de Costa Rica, ¡el mejor del mundo!. Disfruta.
Pretty cool build. Just goes to show, you don't need a lot of tools to get the job done. Thumbs up.

Love these build videos! Keep em coming (as time allows).

Good to know, thank you
Awesome build Mike.

One of your best vids yet...for resourcefulness and determination😊👍

Nice job using what you had. It is beautiful!
+Bruce A. Ulrich Thanks!
Wow that looks great!

+Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) Thanks! Yes, that was about 45 minutes of hand sawing to split that wood :)
saludos desde Costa Rica!
Really impressive! I love your resourcefulness and improvisation! Here's an idea for you, you could try to design and build a 2 in 1 rocking horse/feeding chair! I've seen it done before so I know it's possible 😁
I will try to make one. This is great.
Well done! Can't wait until you celebrate with your first cup made with it tomorrow morning. =)
Beautiful!
That's pretty impressive with the tools you had available! Heck it was pretty impressive with a full shop! What are wood prices like there?
Que chiva Mae. Was it difficult to place the pins so the top and bottom would fold out correctly?
Muy lindo esa idea del chorredor de café gracias 🤣 🤣 🤣
those dang hipsters! reinventing the wheel
I'm inspired to use less tools! It looks great.
Very good
You can also use a sock instead of the bolsa.
Costa Rica ❤️
Could you hear the locals say, "Loco gringo" as you walked away? lol Cool project.
+John Conklin Thanks, haha who knows what they're thinking :)
Parabéns
Very impressive result with such limited tools. What type of wood did you use? Some type of mahogany?
+Robert Echten It's called Laurel (Cordia alliodora). From what I gather it's in the oak-ish family?
muy buen video amigo, saludos desde león gto México
Clever device! Great to see you use all hand tools, did you consider a hand drill for the holes?
Wow. I got worn out just watching you do that. Most impressive.
+Brian Prusa Thanks!
Holy elbow grease! I also know the struggle of trying to communicate with locals when you don't speak the language, I was deployed to Spain for 8 months and we mostly uses a very rudimentary sign language and pointing at things lol
Any chance you have the schematics/plans/dimensions you could share? I'd love to build my own.
Genial
so how did your little one like his first cup of coffee?
Yeah Puertoricans boil the coffee directly in a pot and then pour it through a "colador" or "bolsa de chorrear café".
Buen español, haré mi chorreador de café.
Any idea what kind of spray is being used?
Momento épico donde suena canchis canchis solo los ticos entenderán buen video
Is there no tablesaws and drillpresses in costa rica? not even for loan?
Were you walking in the middle of the road at 3:20 ?
+Terence B It looks like it! No, there was a little cross walk there under the bridge.
I was afraid you did haha! ^^
Mike whats the background music bud?
Wakes up in the morning " oke it's been a few hours, let's see how my wood is doing" lol
What are these things called hand tools?
saludos desde Costa Rica! soy tica, pero tengo que admitir que no soy fan del café jajaja y sí... todas las casa de Cost Rica tienen un chorreador
Can you tell me the diameter length that you used?
Can you share the dimensions of the wood pieces, please?
Did you go show our friends at hacienda real yet?
i like because you don't have all the tools like other youtubers
man these remind me of my videos
👍
Not hipster at all. Very jibaro of u👌🏾🙌🏾
made a rhing... you must feel pretty unhandy when you compare this with the "thing your wife made..." haha nice work Mike..
+Martijn Fransen ;)
i admire your enthusiasm but please buy or build some portable saw horses I am really entertained but I worry about you injuring yourself lol. still shows us you can make anything with very little tools!
+D1Y_B3AK1 I think this was my last project in Costa Rica, we leave in a few days and I'll be back in the old shop :)
You really scared me with the chisel and the box cutter so close to your legs. Could have slipped and gouged into your leg...glad it didn't. Please be safe. Use a quick bench hook with superglue and nails (I recently made a video). The bench hook will work placed against any table surface with a lip.
Also, a piece of string will work as a clamp too. Most Japanese shashimono woodworkers used silk ribbons. Clamps were rarely used.
Should be more specific in the folding sistem
I was chiseling a piece of wood on my leg like you did and the chisel slipped and went right into my leg.. So be careful
Yeah... I understand this guy seems to want to use as few tools as possible, but he's GOTTA get a C-clamp for that, and fix it to a table. Carving on his lap like that was incredibly risky for his leg.
In fact every time he use a saw he would've had an easier and safer time with a clamp
Do you guys get relevant income from RUclips? if you don't mind answering, of course
probably not a ton in the pass view videos he doesn't say it exactly but they do give the feeling of money being limited and tight
In their monthly report email they list out their RUclips earnings. They haven't sent out February's report yet but for January it was 535.70 with 203 in expenses.
+Mateus Leonardo Last month was about $500 dollars.
great video and a beautiful baby
muy buen video amigo, saludos desde león gto México
