TH-cam is putting adds on this video. He said on he's profile he's not doing for profit or any other gain. I'm sure there's some legal issues here
Very good, I learnt a lot.
My pvc tubing was a bit too small to fit into a 16mm test tube. I wrapped a bit of tape onto the pvc tubing. And BAM 💥 Tight snug fit ☝️ Ant keeping only, so no need for plumbers tape

Looked all over the web looking for the pin locations for an ellipse...thankyou!
all he's videos are just perfect, wish I had to find them years ago
Thank you. Very helpful for a NuB.
great stuff, 👍
Thank you 😆
Thumbs down for your jointer techniques. First, no blade guard and the fence wide open. Second, you didn’t use the fence when you jointed the edge. Any board that is not at least 1 1/4” taller than the fence needs a push block or push stick. You’re promoting highly unsafe practices. Wood prep should be done in this order always to insure a square and flat board - especially for use as a sanding block. 1-rough cut to size 2- joint an edge, then a surface 3-plane the other surface 4-rip to width 5-square one end 6-cut to length This insures truly square and flat boards.
how do we get this design to stay parked next to an outlet so that you can unreel half of it and still plug it in for use?
Hello sir.... I hope you are doing welll... Love your video! I want to make this for my garden hoses.. Not sure how i can get it so that they can be connected to the spigot at all times.. I suspect i will need to unscrew from the spigot to wind it up
very nice
Just tried making a small frame with it and actually my large saw was more precise for some reason.
Very Nice! Thanks Mike!
Gracias por compartir saludos desde Altamira México 🇲🇽🚓 que tenga un excelente día lleno de bendiciones

I have more than once thought about how to create an ellipse, though never sought the answer cause I really didn't have to. But then I stumble across your video and get this really simple solution which is now stored in grey matter for the day I need it! Every day you learn something new and useful is a good day! Thanks a lot Mike! 😀
been searching for 15mins and i can already tell by mike's calm demeanor, i've found what i'm looking for
Thank you for sharing your amazing skills!

Thanks for the help reminding me how to use my miter saw. I hadn't needed it for 20 years, and I forgot all I knew about it. Thanks again.
good art❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the content Mike, it's great to be able to learn from people like you with so much experience
Just as a hobby, I make my own knives from scratch and it's gotten so expensive to buy handle materials, plus, I have a great deal of Oak from fallen trees just laying around - I've decided to begin harvesting my own for use on knife handles. This raises the issue of flattening the wood and a "sanding board" sounded like the perfect solution except I have no idea what adhesive to use or whether to place adhesive on both the board and the sand-paper or just one-or-the-other. This video helped me out a lot. Thank you, Mike!
Thank you Sir. Great video, very well explained. Subscribed and 2 thumbs up!
great tips Mike ,thank you , much respect .
Thank you for this great video! Greetings from Chile
