I made this ruler stop

- If you don't have a ruler stop, you may not know how useful they can be. A ruler stop turns your old steel ruler into a universal layout and measuring tool. It makes repeatable, exact measurements easy and can even be used as a depth gauge.
I took the opportunity to have a go at making a peened rivet connection. Although the finished product looks like a single piece, it is actually made from three pieces of steel that are held together by peened steel pins. After sanding, the pins become almost completely invisible.

Nice to see this being done by hand.
It takes me back to having to do all the hand filing and cutting work, despite all the machines designed to make do exactly that, sitting right there teasing us all with their power off ;)
Haha, I remember those days as well! I still like doing stuff by hand more, though!
Good idea to make a locking screw on a side! That worth to try...
Just made this one today. Cut some corners by brazing the pieces. Works like a charm and saves me from using the large and heavy square for small jobs. Thanks!
Nice job, good to see someone using hand tools. These skills are invaluable and being lost in the 1 st world. These days all CNC mills, lathes and cutters.
3:50 I'm sure you know this by now but a little heat from a lighter usually loosens CA glue
Yes, thanks! I have been told many times since uploading this video:) it‘s good to learn from the community!
Competent bench fitting skills, good job.
Superb, your simple tools and widely available reference surfaces achieve an eminently useful result. Your presentation is very clean, neat squarey thing you've made there.
Thanks!
This is the coolest little tool! Thanks for sharing this project, now I have to see if I can make it :)
Thanks! I‘m sure you can!
I suggest using heat to soften the superglue and then acetone to remove the residue.
Very nice work!
In a year or two, when the channel hits 1 million subscribers, I'm going to totally hipster out, how I subscribed to it when it was below 200 subs. :D Good quality content.
Haha, I hope your dream comes true.
Borrar todos los bideos. Recomen

I have a clamp just like that which went south on me a year or two ago. Great clamp. Can't seem to find a replacement.
Thanks for the video.
日本のシンワ製が大小２種類有りますがＤＩＹで作ることの喜びと素晴らしさを見させてくれました。全てが手作業ですがかなり高精度に仕上がっているのが見て取れます。手先が器用な職人技です。ルーラーを斜面に押し当てて小さなビスで押し当てて固定する方法は弛みとグラつきを防ぎます。本当に素晴らしいゲージの完成です。
Less is more and you’ve reached the more with less 🎉. Until the day i’ll be able to make it i definitely buy it:) Tx
Yes, that will certainly save you a lot of time :)
Brilliant job !!! Congratulations !
Thanks!
Very nice! I might have to give this a try. I like the riveting, gives a very clean look
Thanks! Yes, the riveting was the best part.
I really liked it. Nice and fine work.
Belle réalisation ! Bravo !
Beautiful achievement ! Well done !
Thru the magic of editing cutting steel is effortless. Love it ;)
Very very nice. Best one by far.
Thanks!
Oh great... another channel that I simply have to subscribe to :D When am I supposed to get my own hands dirty when there are so many great videos out there!
Jokes aside, fantastic content. Great pace, wonderful shots. I don't know where you people just come up with spot-on production... Also I rerally like how you show that great results can be made with limited tools :)
Very good, congratulations.
Thank you!
I never really worked with metal and will probably never be on your level, and I also don't aspire to do so. But I've seen a few videos now, and I love it. This seems pretty doable for a starter project. Being a woodworker I already have some of the tools you use here, including a diamondstone. Would a small project like this be doable, or am I underestimating the effort here? I am asking this with the fullest respect and appreciation for your skills.
I think it is absolutely doable for almost anyone. It took me a few attempts to get it right, too. The more specialized tools you have, the more efficient your work becomes. But if you have the patience, it can be done with very little.
Super professional job man 💪🤩👍
Excelente... estoy que me hago uno ahora mismo, gracias por compartir su trabajo 🖐️👍
Small suggestion: I would've used medium strength thread locker on all the mating surfaces, to really weld the individual parts together.
I actually tried to get the mating surfaces as clean, smooth and flat as possible and was secretly hoping for a bit of solid state diffusion. Not sure if that's realistic though.
I always forget about threadlocker for things like that... Great use for it
@@imadethischannel It's possible in a vacuum.
Excelente trabajo, 👍
This project is very good!
Great outcome without a dozen high dollar machines... thanks for sharing.
Manífico, esplêdido!!
Thanks!
That is fantastic work.
Thanks!
Excellent tools !
enjoyed your build of your Ruler Stop, could you tell what thickness of steel you used thanks.
Thanks for watching! It was a 4mm mild steel bar.
Very nice! I see you do know how to properly use a file! 😁🛫
Brilliant again. Subbed...I love stuff like this...just wish I was that talented, or confident in my process
Thanks! Just start making stuff. Confidence and skill will come ;)
What metal files and hack saw blades do u use. They make itnall look so easy.
Pretty standard stuff, really.
Can you make a meter stick with stopper like that?
I guess it should be possible :)
@@imadethischannel please
I do have a project similar to your work, but I add a marker so everytime you slide the stopper it also mark the point you want to cut
Excelente !
liking your channel name and logo and... your textual commentary during work is interesting.
В ручной работе есть своя магия. Отлично!
well ma man you got my subscription , really cool
Thanks!
Good filing skills!
Also it would be nice to know the materials. They would be obvious to you but not everyone uses them. The pins looked like brass and the rest like low carbon steel.
Oh, didn‘t I write what the materials were? The body and the pins are mild steel. The screw is nickel plated brass.
Me gusta mucho tu trabajo exelente mano de arte tengo una curiocidad me gustaria saber i mirar tu taladro de banco felicidades por tu trabajo tengo k fabricarme uno de estos
Eine Handwerkliche und Funktionale Arbeit ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Good idea and nice work! 👌 👍 👍
Greetings from Austria, Leo 🙋♂️
Thanks!
nice work
You are a genius!
Nice
Thanks!
nice thanks for sharing your knowledge. We The Few will use it...OORHA!!
Thanks for watching!
Very impressive, I will give it a try, but it won’t turn out like your one. Thank you Wiz
Hey, thanks! Just try it. It also took me a few attempts to get it right...
impecable!
Профессиональная работа,лайк за старание
Magnífico !!!!!!!!
Saludos Cordiales !!!!!!!!
This is freaking cool.
0:28 wow so fast! what blade did you use please?
it's magic...
👏👏👏
Nicely done using common tools.
Thanks!
Nice job
Thanks!
Reminds me of doing 2nd year metal work at high school, a good memory.
My only concern is even stainless will nick from that thumbscrew. When you run a marking knife along it, well it's your knife. Mine has the screw hitting the center of the ruler.
The thumbscrew is made from nickel plated brass. So far it hasn‘t left a mark.
@@imadethischannel Gotcha. It looked steel. Should work fine then. Should have known you had it covered.
Real nice. Just think what you could do with a mill.
Агуенный мастерКласс!
Very cool idea and tool ! I love it. Will copy you asap ! Thanks for sharing :) I subscribe !
Thanks, go for it!
Great video! I have wanted to make one of these. Can you tell me what the name of the metal rod you used to make the pins with? What are they called?
That was a 4mm rod of mild steel. They sell them by the metre in most hardware stores.
@@imadethischannel Thanks
Wow. awesome.
Nicely made. I'm the subscriber no490.
I will copy it using 10 mm thick aluminium in one piece without riveting.
Hey, thanks for subscribing! I actually wanted to use rivets because I wanted to try the process. It is of course possible to make it from one piece but then it is difficult to cut the slot straight enough if you don‘t have a milling machine. But go for it, it is fun!
Bagus... Terimakasih... 👍🏻
Wonderful
Thanks!
Excelente..!... Saludosss
Show !!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful
Thank you very much for the video. Brass pins would have looked much better.
I actually like that the pins disappear and it looks like a single piece in the end.
Where do you get your hacksaw blades, damn!
I order them from a place called Ollivanders in London.
@@imadethischannel Ah crap, they have serious export restrictions to the US. I guess we had that coming.
@@imadethischannel omg that's Where i get all my Wands. What a Small World. Lol
My friend, the Cool Cool Cool...
Khéo tay 👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ik koop er wel 1 voor €3,- mij teveel werk 😂🤣
Good choice :)
Did I just see you use a caliper as a marking gauge?
Haha, yes. But it's an old one...
@@imadethischannel Ok - unfortunately we had our best calipers ruined recently and seeing you do that made me wonder if whoever ruined ours did the same thing.
nice
Как прекрасно что нету дебильной музыки)) 👍👍👍
Wish i had all ur tools and make myself one :(
You don’t actually need all that many tools. Just start making stuff…
@@imadethischannel thank you so much for replying. I will try.
great
superglue at its best!
Try heating it up. It releases easily
Las cosas esas de 8 mm q parecen varillas q son?como se llaman ?
They are steel rivets cut from 4 mm round stock.
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Marvellous...but it is better to buy..🤣
Для карандаша с торца выемку надо бы.
neat ;D
Nice. But too short, as I think
Класная штука
Minuto, 3 . Si te ve un jefe hacer eso con el calibrador, eres hombre despedido ipso facto.
Dicha acción quedaría reflejada en tu currículum, y, probablemente NÚNCA te contráte nadie.
Tendrías que vivir por tu cuenta o pedir una paga (muy pequeña) al estado de tu país...
Otra cosa es que te la concedan.
Por otra parte, tal vez (digo, tal vez), ya la cobres...
En fin.
Haha, that's hilarious!
Is that a geiger counter or radiation survey meter I hear clicking away in the background? Heard it most of the entire video and that’s exactly what it sounds like.
Are you monitoring background radiation in your area? I don’t mean to be nosy… I’m a nuclear enthusiast and one of my passions and hobbies is collecting geiger counters, and searching for radioactive sources to add to my collection.
Haha, maybe you mean the creaky sound that the rubber stool makes that I am sitting on? I certainly don't have a geiger counter :)
Беллисимо. Название клей ?
ACETONE
C'mon guy - it's a scale, not a ruler.
ここで中古を買うとひどい目に合います 故障続きでした
JUST ! ANOTHER ! WOODWORKER'S SQUARE !
Nice job
Thanks!
