    Soon we see the 1 MILLION subs video. Abom and Tony meet up, having made go-karts for each other. It's a musical episode, their dogs/cats/bunnies frolic in the background. The Schaublin and Maho fight to be most-beloved friesmaschine, whilst Tony's family ride motorbikes through burning hoops - hoops made on a GIANT ring-roller. Harrison Ford arrives. "Hey kid, thanks for watchin' " he says, sharpening a drill bit. Nobody can use a sine bar. Tony won't let anyone leave until they can. A die-filer, visibly weeping far away, remembers the good old days. The word "subscribe" reflected in it's tears.

    Frank, if you check these comments, Here's 2 for you. Retired Toolmaker, apprenticed in '67 still tinkering with mini shop in my condo basement. I understand the sentiment with the verniers, but now I find the easiest measuring is with the digital calipers. The 4" is more handy than the 6", and they go for $9.99 on sale at (china) Harbor Freight. I have several laying around my shop.. Also if you can find one, the Gladwin indicator is the easiest, fastest way to find the center of a hole, as it reads on both sides as you spin it. They don't make them anymore, but they still pop up on the internet occasionally. Worth their weight in gold.

      I'm with Tony, they're one of my favorite tools - but mine have a V groove longitudinally down one jaw, which for me is partly what makes the tool so useful.
      The Knipex option is sweet but intended for a very different situation - crudely speaking, it's more crescent wrench than plier, an extension of your arm rather than of your hand.

    Totally true about straight razor shaving. The learning curve is precipitous but after a few attempts it is very satisfying to stand in a steamy bathroom with a glass of Knob Creek Kentucky Bourbon and a shaving mug and brush. Here is a tip: unless you are a just post-pubescent young man learning to shave what amount to little more than the soft down of a ripe peach (I.e., if you’re not 12 yo) shave with your normal razor first, then use the straightedge. The stubble your 4-blade disposable leaves behind is more than enough for you to learn to remove. And you will need stiptic to staunch the inevitable nicks. It’s easy to find in the pet store for people who trim their dog’s nails too short. Love the video. ToT, finest kind.
