  • What are 10 tools you couldn't live without in your shop? Here are the first 10 that came to my mind. Pretty sure there are dozens and dozens more, but these 10, for me, are essential.
    Thank you to Princess Auto for sponsoring this video. You can check out these tools and others at: www.princessauto.com

    Little plug for princess auto: ordered an 85 dollar tumbler at 12, shipped by 3, in my hands two days later. Recommended.

      Woohoo! Good to hear. I’ve been a customer since I was a little kid going with my dad. I felt very good about having them come on board with the channel. They might not always have the highest quality stuff but they always make things right if there is a problem. I’ve also had good luck with their tools.

    I bought 2' machinist square last year after watching your videos, and it is probably my favorite tools in general. I'm always using it to square up platens and saw blades. I never even thought about buying one until watching your videos.

    Pokey Scribe Syndrome is very similar to Broken Pencil Lead Syndrome.
    Put a piece of stiff-ish, rubbery-ish, tubing in the pen slots on your apron. I do this with my tool belt(s) and whatnot. If you cut the tubing it will lightly bind. Cheap pen caps keep them sharp in a toolbox or backpack.

      Even with $20 callipers when it makes the process faster? My mititoyos stay in my tool box when I need accuracy. These cheap ones are a layout tool to me. I’ll be sure not to do that in your shop though. 😆 The kick in the arse gave me a good chuckle 👍

      @@Simplelittlelife appologies, I jumped on the commentary before the end of the video. I am following you for a while now, and I really appreciate your channel. Thanks for all your vidéos. I looked for a video on which steel to choose to make a knife for a beginner, and I have not find one. Did I miss it? If not do you plan to make one?

    • @Simplelittlelife
      @Simplelittlelife  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No problem at all. I really like O-1 tool steel for a beginner because it’s easy to grind and heat treat. It’s performs very well but it is quite prone to rusting and corrosion if it’s not looked after properly. It also develops a patina from use faster than other steels. But then again, for learning, it’s great. Also it can be fairly easily found in certain parts of the globe. I have a shop locally that always has it in stock so (Metal Supermarkets) and I have sent quite a few folks there who have been looking for a steel to start on. Cheers 👍
