Thanks for the nice words Jack!

Hi Flywelder, I had mine 3D printed in laser sintered steel from Shapeways if I remember correctly. I heat it with a torch but not too hot since it might disintegrate. Hope this helps a bit 😊 otherwise, let me know! Cheers!

Hello again, The tool racks are from a German manufacturer called Küpper. They also produce all the holders that you can easily click into the racks. It is ideal! Whenever you need to reorganize, just take the holders out and place them somewhere else. If you happen to live in Europe you can easily order it online... The workbench is a cheap Black&Decker workmate knock-off and comes with the dogs... The brand is called Parkside and it is sold at Lidl - which happens to be a grocery store 😂 again, easily accesible in Europe. Where are you from? Cheers, Tony!

@@TonyNeedsHobbies Thanks Tony! Would you be able to provide me a link to shapeways, because the business I am finding, using google, do not appear to offer anything at all like your sintered metal item. LoL must be something I'm not doing correctly to find the Shapways, your speaking of. :) I discover a lidl store, now and then, but none within 40 miles of me. There is an Aldiz in my town though. I'll look into the German mfg Kupper and discover if I can get what you have. I'm located the USA. Thanks once again Tony, I greatly appreciate your replies!

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it :-)

Thank you! Glass would indeed have been better for smart people. I easily forget things and PET is a little bit more forgiving when forgetting to burp the bottles to prevent them from exploding 😉

Hi Lemmingski, Thanks for watching my video and the question you ask. Here's my answer: I add those wooden spacers so that I can clamp the file more securely to the rod and to make sure it is parallel to it. I guess it's not strictly required. If you tighten the hose clamps really well, it doesn't tilt or collapse under the force of filing. I actually think it holds better with these little wooden spacers. Greetings, Tony!

Thanks, Tony. I'm combining ideas from a few jigs I've seen. Your T nuts are definitely being incorporated.

@@Lemmingski If possible try to use stainless steel ones. I used galvanized T-nuts but they tarnished over time because of moisture in the wood and my shed. Nothing WD-40 cannot handle, but if you have the option stainless will be nicer 🙂

Thank you for taking the time to watch it and leave me an awesome comment! It makes my day 😊

That's an option too! I didn't think about that. Great suggestion! Cheers!

It is clamped between the two little aluminium plates. I got this question more often so I created a short for it: th-cam.com/users/shortskIIPM1QOytU Hope it helps!

Thanks Robert!

Slightly thicker, between 1.2 and 1.5 mm. Thanks for watching!

Haha I fully understand. This video was released during Covid lockdown and at the time I thought this would be a funny idea to lure in some viewers 😋 I hope you still enjoyed the apricot wine part of the video though. Your feedback is appreciated! Cheers, Tony

Hi Ian, thanks for your comment. Just to be sure I double checked the drawings. When zoomed in or printed full size they show 6'' for both the 19 1/2'' and the 7 3/4'' parts. I do agree with you that the font is a bit unclear when zoomed out so I'll try to update it when I find the time. Thanks again, Tony

@@TonyNeedsHobbies sorry Tony, that is my fault and will look into glasses lol. Thanks for getting back to me and have a great day

@@ianflynn898 no worries, it seems to be an honest mistake. Glad you take it well 😅 the font isn't the best though, I will change it when I find the time. Have a good one!

Thank you for your kind words. It's appreciated 😀

Thanks!

Hi Rspaulding, from what I understand the smack pack has enough nutrient for kick starting the yeast in the pack, but not enough to efficiently multiply the amount of yeast a couple of times to ferment a large batch of higher gravity wort. Whenever I create a large starter I add nutrient and malt extract in order to put the yeast in the most ideal situation (with the limited gear I own 😉) and this has worked for me quite a few times already. Hope this helps! Cheers and Happy Brewing! Tony

Hi Dwight, Thank you, I totally agree. They are much more comfortable around the heel using the custom insert that I designed for these shoes. The first pair I made had the loop sewn on the inside but it didn't wrap around the heel so it gave a lot of blisters. I ended up cutting the loop out for better comfort. But this green/brown pair is very comfortable with the heel insert. Greetings, Tony

Hi Frank, Yeah I read somewhere online that it saves a great amount of time stitching in smaller segments since you don't have to pull all the thread through and untangle it a lot of times. Now we know better 👌 Thanks for your comment! Tony

@TonyNeedsHobbies Thank you. I'm still experimenting with the smaller segments. The stop and start points are not my favorite look... but a better alternative. Once again, thank you for your video.

Hola Ald17, puedes encontrar dibujos en unidades imperiales y métricas aquí: www.tonyneedshobbies.com/plans/woodworking/ Las distancias entre los agujeros realmente no importan, porque el cáncamo te permitirá usar varios ángulos ajustando la profundidad a la que lo colocas en la tuerca en T. Espero que esto ayude un poco. Saludos, Tony

Glad I helped a bit. Did you already try to make some Gouda cheese? Greetings from Holland, Tony!

De nada, espero que les haya gustado!

Thank you Uco, comments like yours keep me going 😊 I appreciate it a lot! Greetings, Tony

@@TonyNeedsHobbies definitely keep going. God created you to love those things and share your heart and passions

It would've helped me a lot if I knew before giving it a go 😉 I learned the hard way haha. Thanks for the elaborate explanation and for watching my video and taking the time to write this positive comment. I highly appreciate it 👍

Maybe you can get some help from a friend with some powertools? This project isn't too hard but indeed requires a bit of woodworking experience. Alternative you can buy mold/cutter combos these days - but I like to make my own tools 😀 Thank you for watching my video - hope you liked it! Cheers, Tony

Great comment, I love it when people like my work. I know for sure you can make beautiful shoes with these kits as well. Hope you will try it. Greetings, Tony

Yes, kind of - and it has a great tang to it. It all depends on the amount of sugar and ginger that you use. Experimenting helps a lot to figure out what you like. Give it a go 😊

I more or less made up the dimensions as I went so didn't document it very well. Below some estimated measurements: Handle: ~40*50*200mm --> hole: 55*30mm all the way through and handle shaped to fit my hand comfortably Adjustable cutter parts ~10*25*200mm (2 pieces) Hope this helps!

@@TonyNeedsHobbies thanks a lot from Panama

Hi Robert, That's great to hear! In what town did you stay and do you remember any Dutch? Groetjes, Tony

@@TonyNeedsHobbies I was at Soesterberg Air Base. I spent a lot of time in Zeist. I was in the US Air Force at the time. I was able to see a lot of the country and some really cool places. I found the Dutch people to be very warm and welcoming, especially the older people. Amsterdam was like nothing I’d ever experienced before. I probably literally ate my own weight in Gouda cheese. My favorite place was Volendam. It was the most picturesque place I’ve ever seen in my life. So many great memories. Thank you for your reply. Kind regards, Robert in Alabama. P.S. Sadly I don’t remember any Dutch. One fond memory was in a pub in Zeist drinking a few beers and the bar tender was playing a Bobby Vinton album. Every time a new song came on all the older Dutch men would turn to us and sing the first few words. They also kept buying us beer until we were well lubricated. The memories keep getting better with age. Take and happy cheese making to you!

@robertlassiter907 That's so cool! I've always wanted to become a fighter pilot in the Royal Netherlands Air Force but after going through selections twice I didn't make the cut. At the time they did a large part of selections in Soesterberg so I've been there quite a few times. These days the base is decommissioned. They build a great air force museum on the location and you can do really nice nature walks on the old base. We're you flying yourself or supporting? Cheers!

@@TonyNeedsHobbies I was an aircraft electrician. At the time I was working on F-15’s but later I worked on F-16’s. I did get to fly in a F-16 while based in Korea. We also toured the Fokker factory where they were making the center section of the F-16.

Amazing! Great to hear you got to fly in an F-16. And the Fokker factory tour sounds awesome. I've only found out last week that Fokker was licensed to build F-16s. What a coincidence 🙂 Cheers!

Thanks for waching the video and your comment. I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but indeed, if the other molds you use and the cutter mold combo are the same size, you can use the cutter for all the other molds as well. Just take the solidified soap out of the regular molds and transfer it to the cutter mold combo to use it to cut the block into bars. Hope this helps you. Tony

Glad you enjoyed it, that makes me happy!

Good to hear!
