I've been modeling for better than 65 + years and I came across this video and was somewhat amazed what a simple tool you made. it was always a pain to open up scoops on a kit, so made one of the tools in a few minutes. It worked great ! Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks ! Thanks for a great tool tip !
I found if you look at what a tool or chemical really does there is always a cheaper or better way to do the same job.The money you save can go to buying more kits ! keep up the great work !@@SCM223
I'm constantly finding ways to model on the cheap and came across your channel. Had me at the B-17 wing. As one southern boy(north Georgia) to another, good stuff! Click, subscribed.
That is a cool idea, I like that and it will be very useful on anything. I have some 6014 welding rod that will be perfect and some old broken mini screwdriver's I can grind down. Thanks for the idea and video. LLAP 🖖
You could probably use the same process to make scribing chisels (not the Olfa cutter/hooked razor blade type) of various thicknesses from square bar by grinding down the sides and sharpening the leading edge. Possibly even from cheap screwdrivers if the bottom edge was also squared off.
I was actually thinking about making a video for making your own chisels but I didn't think anyone would be interested haha. I make mine from old sheets of scrap metal and cut them out at different widths, then shape them. I'm going to have to find something people can easily get their hands on. Maybe screwdrivers like you mentioned.

That's great! Can't tell you how happy that makes me. Especially coming from someone who surely would put me to shame in a model competition haha!

Shoot yeah that would work great. Thank you for watching and glad it may help you.

@@SCM223 A Stanley blade or scraper blade?
@@jimbowers8278 We're on the same wavelength man. Just cut a strip from a utility blade and it seems to work pretty well. I appreciate the motivation!
@@SCM223 Blimey, that was quick 😂 Any time, mate 👍
