I hear, the best way to add grip to the top is to laser engrave Stargate symbols into it.
Adam Savage’s Tested pity you don’t do you’re own brand of Cosplay supply’s -~ Adam savage’s Cosplay tools.
Sold out :(
Oh. And then just doubled in price in two minutes.
@@coen555 Says 112 USD for me. And with this sort of product, I have no idea if that's "double" or normal price.
The "stand" of the IRIS also acts as a center-finding tool. You put the stand inside the fully-opened IRIS and the stand's tip is right at the circle's center. Mark your dot, remove the stand, then adjust the iris to the desired size without moving the IRIS and the dot will be in the exact center of any circle you make. There are also measurements along the outside diameter or the IRIS that let you make the exact size circle you want, or measure the size of existing circles or cylinders that fit inside the IRIS.
I bought one just to have on my classroom table for my students to play around with and get inspired!
It is the little things.
Now that you've added that comment I know that Iris was 100% thought out! WOW
whats up with your nickname oO
Thanks for inspiring young minds. The way teachers are undervalued is a black mark on a society.
Hey John, so pleased to hear you and your students are enjoying the Iris! You're right about the stand and scale, we always try to design right down to the smallest details.
Hey Adam, pleased you are having such a great time with the Iris and Høvel. I can confirm that 'chuffed' means very happy in Britain. I can't believe you have a set of those 602s, so jealous. We'll be in touch about the ruler soon. Cheers, Ben!
I went to the comment specifically to see if Makers Cabinet replied! Amazing stuff! What is the plane actually made out off?
@@hoppend Høvel is CNC machined from solid brass and then mirror polished.
You guys are making Adam Savage bait. Put an Iris in the trap ... snap you got an Adam! 😁
When will we be getting details about the rule? I've just ordered the pencil plane 🙃
You guys know you're now going to have to dectuple your production, right?
9:22 "I think it recently fell down..." is such a great line. Anyone who works in a shop has made a note of where something has fallen as its new spot.
True, though if I had a $400 box of pencils laying on the ground that shit would get picked up super fast.
Jacob Sullivan maybe not if you were a multi millionaire though
@@Jacob-fx8us are they really $400? I see a 12 pack for $24
@@sallyoldford9237 To make a long, but interesting story short the Blackwings that you can find on Amazon and other retailers are not the original, genuine article. To expand on it slightly the original Eberhard Faber Blackwing was considered “The Best Pencil Ever Created” and its legend grew from there. Famous writers, composers, and animators like John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, Don Bluth, and countless others swore by them and would refuse to use anything else. Unfortunately, the famous Eberhard Faber Blackwing was discontinued in 1998 after a key piece of original machinery broke and their recently acquired new ownership, Sanford Manufacturing, didn’t see the point in fixing it due to the relatively low, yet passionate, sales. In 2008 California Cedar bought the rights to reproduce and distribute it under their Palomino division, but the magic behind the Blackwing was gone. Some say it is almost an entirely different utensil. The pencils that Adam dropped was a complete, in box, Eberhard Faber Blackwing original. You can still find some on Ebay for around $40-$50 dollars per pencil. The boxed set is much rarer.
@@Jacob-fx8us thank you for sharing your pencil nerd knowledge 🙏🏻
LOVE IT! It has only been couple of weeks since this video and the company has already redesigned the Iris with more "Sticktion"! :)
My headphones use a wire with a lot of sticktion, and it drives me nuts because the wire catches on everything. I have to be a more careful about putting drinks near the left side of my laptop due the increase risk of the wire snagging and spilling my drink. It doesn't even matter if there's slack on each side of the snag, the wire will stick without actually sticking. This is the first time I've seen something where I thought this type of rubber/plastic would be handy.
Imagine what they could do if they made something useful... I got to go set up my rube Goldberg device to start my brass fax machine.
I can't believe adam recommended such a useless tool. It's a compass... but it doesn't work as well and it's 30 times more expensive.
@@Pennsyltucky84 $125 is definitely a little pricey, I'm not an artist however, so can't make a good argument to its value
@@happytrails5342 My issue isn't price alone. I can speak to it's value in three ways. One, materials/labor brass and stainless construction. It's probably pretty expensive to make. Two, relative value. Unfortunately, a compass does the same job for four dollars. Three, how well it does that job. Since the splines don't lay flat and nothing is holding your stylus in a rigid manner, its very easy to mark your circle wrong.
I've never met Adam in person, or even been to the US, but there's this strong connection with this wonderful honest man, I really love his personality, passion, enthusiasm.. everything. Thanks Adam for being part of our lives. Love, peace ✌🏻
He is great. Me and my friend were both "raised" watching mythbusters and loved the show hehe.
You’re welcome 😊
@@Adamhopeful lmao
Adam's passionate support for this product must be a dream come true for a company like this.
As a team of young designers who grew up on Mythbusters, it's really rewarding to see Adam enjoy the Iris so much!
@@makerscabinet I have to say that I don't think I have never seen him quite so happy as this in one of these videos before. Well done!
@@makerscabinet If you are designed them, how it fits that i can buy the same product all over the world?
Its a simple, overpriced copy of a existing woodworking product as i see it.
sleepingcity85 we are the original designers holding IP protection on the iris drawing compass
If you had myth buster money you’d be out of touch too.
The golden ratio tool, as mesmerizing it is, looks like a device created by aliens
Wait - was there a link for that ?! I can't afford at the moment, however my "Amazon Wish List" grows by 'leaps and bounds' when I watch Adam!
Found it ! ;) That will be the first thing purchased! ;)
Or what the Amish would call "witchcraft"
The Stargate iris!
It looks like a eye
Imagine bringing the sharpener to take an SAT
During the reading exam: shing SHING shing!
Like a chef sharpening a knife
As someone of Norwegian descent, Adam, you need to know that "høvel" is the Norwergian word for "(wood-)plane" (or other tool that cuts thin slivers).
That's right! Our head designer, Odin, is from Northern Norway
I was just about to give Adam the same infor about the name :)
I would say Scandinavian word for wood plane. Remember historically Norwegian is in effect old Danish.
@@SusseBo It's not Danish it's a Middle Low German
word that has been imported. Norwegian is not in effect old Danish. Bokmål is close though.
@@makerscabinet Wait a second, did you just say that your head designer is Odin? Who's your CEO? Thor? :)
It's a tiny Stargate!
They should have that as another finish for it. Who doesn't want a mini stargate on your desk?
I was going to comment the exact same thing!
CHAAPA'AI.
well accchuuuaally its just the iris that the asgard gave the humans to protect them from attacks through the stargate.
Covodex they hard the Iris by, like, episode 3?
I like that they took Adam's feedback about the slippery surface and incorporated it into their updated version and gave the top a textured/knurled surface... it looks even better now!
Adam, I just have to say, that comment about inspiring the next generation of makers that the letter referenced is spot on. I grew up on mythbusters and other similar shows and too am now a day-in and day-out follower of your channel. You've inspired me over the years, for better or worse I might add, to take on some projects/builds that I would otherwise have never even wasted a thought cycle on. Nowadays I'm continuously pushing the limits of my skills and fumbling my way though continuous skills-improvement. The no hard-and-fast rules mindset that you and other similar makers have instilled in me over the past couple decades has allowed me to accomplish some things in my life that I'm rather proud of. Just wanted to throw my hat off to you man, as you've certainly alerted my life in a positive way
The iris is sold out! And I, for one, am furious that my impulse buying habit has been thwarted.
lol that's because allll of us watching that video of Simone's allll immediately thought "I need that" and of course somebody helpfully linked the site in the comments.
lol he makes them out as geniuses but you can find plenty on aliexpress from 10$ to 30$ after al they are made in china.
@Furio i agree they have all prices but pretty sure this is where they buy them to sell to you
Vince Campolongo buy one and let us know. Its pretty common of them to steal other sites photo’s but not supply that actual item.
I too, am now living in Chufflackistan
The Iris Drawing compass is beautiful and now sold out. THANKS ADAM
Damits I saw it and almost instantly wanted it.... Suppose this means I won't have to look how much it costs and feel bad....
@@Crono099 its £90 but looks worth every penny
@@MindbodyMedic For a shiny desk toy, sure. To draw a circle? Absolutely ridiculous.
I love seeing others geek out over cool stuff like this. Adam, sir. You are awesome. Don’t let anyone dim your light.
I could sit and listen to Adam all day, everything he says is interesting and he always has so much enthusiasm like a kid when talking about his work. I want to get into the field of robotics and sculpting, mainly due to watching this guy growing up.
"Chuffed" is one of those words that means "Happy with the result of"
So it's a bit like being pleased or proud of yourself/your achievement.
And we all are chuffed to bits :D
Chuffing is what big Cats do when they are happy, content, saying hello to kin...

A someone who LOVES to hang stuff on my walls according to the golden mean, I IMMEDIATELY saw that divider was set up to that ratio. That's really cool!
I've watched this video 3x over the past 2 years and I love this device but I cannot justify it. I don't draw circles all that much and that's what amazes me. Whenever I need a radius it is either covered by coins or one of that cans on my shelf. It's amazing what different workflows require and use and how different they are.
Half past midnight how do I find myself so entertained by a grown man sharpening a pencil? Because it is Adam Savage. Thank you for your piece of my covid lock down sanity. It is a bigger portion than I would like to admit
"BLACKWINGS!" [immediate goosebumps]
Pencil nerd.
Pencil nerd.
PENCIL NERD!
I’ve never heard of them before but after watching the way he reacted, I got to go look them up LOL… #FuturePencilNerd
A FUCKING ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw an ad for this and is has been on my mental wishlist for a while now.
This video is the first ad I’ve seen for the iris
I saw it on Simone's YT and I ended up here. I don't need one, but I want one!
I saw it on instagram
I really don't care about 90% of the things Adam reviews/talks about, I just can't get enough of his enthusiasm and endless joy these knick knacks cause him
What I like about this channel is that you shine light on these starting businesses with tools, it's a boost for them to keep developing and creating new ideas
Talking about using your voice the right way
I have about zero reason to own the Iris, but damn, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want one
I’m sure homeless people feel the same way about shelter.
As a professional engineer and hobby machinist that loves the art of classic (non-CAD) drafting, this entire video makes me so happy. I'm definitely going to need to get some of those MakersCabinet tools, they are beautiful!
The packaging design brought me SO MUCH JOY
You're going to make me go broke buying all these cool tools with this and the grabber video!
Lmfao, I was saying the same thing.
If u use them yeah prob u wont so why even bother buying it tada your not broke anymore
What grabber video? You're gonna make me go broke! Lol
Great video as always. Every time I watch a video with you in the workshop my eyes can’t help but explore the background for tools I want.
I see that they've now added a gorgeous diamond pattern on top to remedy the issue with it being too smooth. It looks absolutely stellar!
I'm so high I blew on the screen to get rid of the pencil shavings
I love these tool tips. You have some really unique tools.
When you said the word iris and demonstrated the closing of the ring, one word popped into mind... Stargate SG1!
the chapa'ai!
The pencil / sharpener enthusiasm is orders of magnitude above contagious, and a marvel to behold
i really like you for being such an authentic and all out sympathic person, a true character.
I want that disc just to play with all day, thing is freaking awesome
Check it out on our site www.makerscabinet.com
It's a thing of beauty but at AU$90 It's an extravagance I can't justify.
@@makerscabinet you guys added the extra sticktion to the iris like Adam said? That's awesome! World needs more companies which show the enthusiasm in the items they make.
"høvel" is Norwegian and is a close synonym to the Word grater
It's also Danish for plain, so he's not entirely wrong.
That pronunciation though
@@visiblur interesting, did not know that. Scandinavian gang
hey there fellow scandivavians
@@scorse4197 well it is a mini-planer and i figured from the german word 'hobel', which is a planer. Google translate also says 'høvel' translates to planer. So no, it has nothing to do with a grater. Sry bro.
@@keep7smiling yeah, i Only made the assosiation because im Norwegian and we invented a type of planer for cutting cheese (i dont know the english Word for it tho
The makers of the Iris didn't just think about what their product was, but why they were doing it. I love it!
It's amazing how Adam Savage can even get me excited about pencils. His enthusiasm is a joyous thing to watch.
3 years as a carpenter and this is the first good way I have seen to sharpen a carpenters pencil.
Tofik Khan Stanley #1
@@TofikKhan-xc8vu and every time you use your knife do you break the lead just before you are finished sharpening?
Just use a utility knife.
@@matthewhall6288 Thats the point Im making a utility knife just breaks the tip off before it's sharp so im left using a half sharpened pencil
Assuming you know _how_ to do it:
"How to Sharpen a Carpenter's Pencil"
th-cam.com/video/FM8uRAdZ8S0/w-d-xo.html
... then you you probably just need better pencils (or a sharper knife). Some carpenter's pencils have pretty crappy leads, because they're not really meant for precision marking (you'd generally use a scribe for really precise stuff).
Hey Adam, it looks like they took your advice and have added some texturing to the top of the iris for added grip. It’s on pre order now
This guy is living the life with all these gadgets. With all these tools He has an unlimited source of ideas because your ideas can only go as far as the tools you work with. I wish gear was cheaper.
I think, hilariously, and I've seen this before, is really the antithesis of Adam's typical approach, echoed by many DIY people. Many makers seem to be content with using whatever it takes to get the job done. Practicality and pragmatism are the baseline. The gold-plated adjustable pencil sharpening mini-plane on Blackwing pencils really represents a kind of indulgent opulence. Both approaches are valid. Quality is meritable. It's like drinking wine to get drunk versus drinking wine for taste. Interesting video :)
When watching videos of Adam showing off tools or props he's enthusiastic about, I often find myself turning down the volume multiple times so my neighbors won't think I'm watching different kind of videos
My girlfriend: What are you watching?
Me: Oh, Im just watching this guy sharpening a pencil. Its really interesting...
My girlfriend: ... *goes away*
😅
my wife sees Adam on my display, she comes up to me, move my headset off my ear, gets super close to my ear and shouts on full voice - YOU ARE NOT BUYING THAT!. my ear still rings. Obviously proceeded to order but it's out of stock.
Do it to her next time she's perusing the back section of Cosmopolitan. Write me from the hospital.
And she doesn't like your Tom Waits records either.

Firstly. How passionate he is about drawing circles... CIRCLES... love watching Adam work...
Secondly... that is a BEAUTIFUL circle drawing tool.. absolutely stunning. Ordering one for show more than anything. Amazing stuff
That is so damn cool.
And they used only cardboard and paper in the packaging!
Amazing products, I must keep note of these guys for a future purchase, thank you for sharing this with us Adam!
Keep on making and creating!
The iris is my dream drawing tool, one day I’ll get one when I can finally afford it
They sell mass produced ones for like 15 quid
“It’s 20 sided so a dodeca...” I love how he left it in even tho he realized midsentence that it’s wrong
The word he's looking for is "icosagon," though the rounded blades make even that technically incorrect.
Your joy is infectious, sir. Please, keep making cool stuff for as long as it keeps bringing you joy.
His excitement is over the top, like a kid enjoying his first visit to Disney World.

@@GitHubStiizz more like stupidity allergy
Pencil plane: It does rather seem to be trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. I sometimes like to plane my pencils as it sharpens to a fine point without breaking the lead. But the plane I use is much easier to grip and it can also be used as a block plane... largely because it's a block plane. I can use it easily even if my fingers are a bit greasy. I know, it's nicely made, beautifully finished and rather quirky... and (if you'll excuse the pun) utterly pointless.
The Iris compass, on the other hand, has a lot going for it. A standard compass will extend to the exact diameter that you want but it needs a surface that you can dig a point in (not possiple on some surfaces and undesirable on surfaces you don't want to marr). Circle templates eliminate the the centre point problem but are confined to the diameters available. The iris template is a brilliant solution to what is undeniably a problem.
I just hope they didn't spend too much on prototyping the 'pencil plane' as I can't imagine it would be of interest to anyone except tool nerds like... well, I won't point any fingers but they know who they are... don't you?
Well since it is essentially just a small wood plane (even the name is just the Norwegian word for that), they probably didn't spend too much time on it. Otherwise I completely agree with your statement and it is very well put.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s a solution looking for a problem.
Honestly, since I found a really good mechanical pencil I’ve never gone back to standard ones for my shop.
I wouldn't say it's trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist simply because it seems obvious to me that it's for people who like collecting impractical "tools" that are just meant to sit on a shelfand look pretty. He almost immediately drops it, proving how difficult it is to hold on to and actually use. It's also hilariously (though predictably) overpriced at $60, which for that price you could get a full-sized plane that would work on lumber like you were talking about. Gotta be honest I lost a little respect for Adam watching him gush over what is essentially a paperweight that he will almost surely never use.
Yeah, it looks like how I sharpen pencils in the garage, with a box cutter or pocket knife. No fancy finger plane required
PeterDraws destroyed the hovel, exposing all its flaws
Your excitement is contagious my friend.
Needing out with Adam gives me SO MUCH JOY, especially during these turbulent times.
Just learned today that pencil nerds exists and that I'm one of them
Love the tools 90% of them I will never use! Lol
1: love how excited Adam is. He's just like a little kid opening presents on xmas and it's adorable! 2: the Iris is such a fantastic concept. So simple yet so effective.
Very Cool Drawing tools , Adam. Thanks for showing them all , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!
As soon as I realized he was looking for a special pencil I was like, *please be a blackwing*
The World: You can't make G-rated porn.
Adam Savage: Hold my beer.
Hold my small batch, independent local micro-brew ! (Made with imported expensive hops, etc., etc., ad nauseum!)
If you close your eyes when he sharpens his pencil.... :D
I love drawing gadgets of all kinds, so I was loving this video. Then you pulled out the box of Blackwings! I'm in awe!!!
Would be nice to have a neighbor like him with all these wonderful tools
That iris circle template looks awsome!!
It would seem you got a bit of rush with the sharppener hahaha
A bit of a rush seems to describe his style 😝
20 sided circle would be an icosagon.
"duodeca" would be 12 sides.
There is no such thing like a 20 sided circle... A circle have always just one side. Just saying...
@@sleepingcity85
Hence, why I said "icosagon" - a twenty-sided _polygon_ (which would roughly approximate a circle to the human eye).
These are too easy to remember when you're Greek hehe.
somehow double-twelve aka 24 would be more aesthetic to the human eye!
@@g60force Pf course - the higher the polygonal count, the higher the effective "resolution" of the not-really-a-circle becomes.
But also, the more ridiculously complex the mechanism becomes. 12 is a reasonable compromise between simplicity of operation, and verisimilitude of result. :)
That golden ratio protractor is an absolutely beautiful piece of design!
Thank you Adam. You were my mental breakfast today!
Aaand I've gone and ordered some. Damnit Adam you're draining me dry here!
All I can think of looking at that Iris is Jonny 5’s eyes.
No disassemble!
"hey laser lips"
You will not get away Oscar, I am really PISSED OFF!
immediately stopped video and ordered. one of those tools you have for life.
I love the joy he gets out of talking about his tools.
i got genuinely excited and i don't have anything for tools...
this guys enthusiasm is through the roof XD
"the amount of space for adding stitching" = seam allowance
"Pencil Nerd!!!!" 👍👍👍
OMGoodness! Adam, that circle device is from another dimension. It is an absolutely beautiful device! I am a photographer and an artist and I must admit despite this tool"s functionality, I would buy it for its look and feel as it relates to photography. I'm just sayin. My daughter is in school as a graphic designer and my son is also in school as a architect and these devices are the perfect gifts for them! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome find! On a side note, your studio is amazing. Again, I thank you for sharing this fantastic find.
I so got my full nerd on watching this! I'm just grinning ear-to-ear. I've been in the room when a friend was first got their hands on a brilliantly designed tool, and I felt Adam's joy exploring the Høvel Pencil Plane as if I was in the cave with him, not a continent-width of fiber-opbics away.
''Sticktion''
Everyone knows exactly what Adam means!!
stiction and gription!
Stiction. It's an actual word used in physics, means "static friction" (i.e., the friction threshold to make something start moving).
If you had an IBM PS/2, specifically the model 50, the 3.5” HDD would regularly suffer from stiction insofar as the platter motor wasn’t able to overcome the friction of the bearings and get it spinning. Thankfully, due to the amazing modular nature of the PS/2, it was a simple, tool-free job to remove the drive and give it a flick with the wrist along the platter axis to free up the drive.
@@RFC3514 Is gription a word used in physics too?
so does 'Sucky' XD
"Tools absolutely worth fetishizing" would be a great tagline for one of these companies
Chuffed = Gleeful, Happy
What an stunning appliance the Iris is.
When I was a high school freshman I took a year of mechanical drawing. There was also a store about a mile away that sold mechanical drawing tools and supplies. I got this brass precision pencil sharpener from there that had two conical holes, each with it's own factory adjusted blade. One was for shaving off the wood and the other for pointing the lead.
It wasn't long before I noticed why the Eberhard Faber pencils from the drafting store cost like 10 cents each while the pencils from Ben Franklin or an office supply store were maybe 25 for 50 cents. The Eberhard Faber pencils had the lead running straight down the middle, while the Ticonderoga pencils had their lead running pretty much anywhere.
5:43 the iris is a "icosagon" (20 sides)
Actually, it is not. If you look carefully you will see that the blades are curved (by very careful design, I'm sure) so that it is actually a true circle, not a icosagon. Brilliant design.
@@karenparker3086 yep, I noticed when he counted the blades, and im pretty sure iris mechanisms don't work if the blades aren't curved, , besides, its a compass it probably wouldn't work that well if it was a icosagon with straight sides, I was just clarifying what's the name of the shape.

The Hovel pencil plane can also be inverted in its little stand so you can sharpen your pencil without holding the plane. They really do take pride in the design of their products.
I so enjoy cool drafting/drawing tools just for the ingenuity
Høvel = Plane (like the tool, not the transport)

Do you have a favorite resource for learning how to effectively sketch out ideas? I have ideas and tools, but struggle with gap between what's in my head and actually drawing it out.
I find that sometimes actually drawing isn’t best for me. If I can really conceptualize the piece fully in my head I don’t necessarily need to draw it. But my best tip for drawing is good tools. Even just a decent metal ruler and protractor and square and you will find it so much easier to draw designs than freehanding it
You might want to explore isometric drawing.
Drawing something is a very useful way to get from having an idea, to having something you made in your hands. It's a great way to crystalise ideas and solve problems before you even touch any tools, and it's a great way to develop ideas even if it takes some time to solve a problem or find the right inspiration. Don't worry if you can't draw very well, that isn't as important as you might think (I'm not that great). The most important thing is to just sketch it out and get an idea of how it might look in reality, and see how parts might fit together. As you sketch things you'll get more experience and your sketches will get better - it's one of those things where you learn by doing; you can't do it the other way around. Instructional resources *can* be very good, but only after you've stumbled enough times to know which parts of it you struggle with. So: just draw! No one is going to see it unless you show it to them.
I do recommend proper bound notebooks. You might not act on an idea straight away but have it kicking around in the background. Don't throw anything away, because with a bound book you can always go back and add to it or change it. Loose pages can get lost, and spiral notebooks are messy, and too easy to rip pages out of which you might regret later. I like drawing on graph lined paper, but bound books with those markings are harder to come by. Blank paper or feint ruled are my usual preference.
Lastly, carry your notebook with you when you are out. Sometimes you get an idea and it's just helpful to getting something down on paper straight away. I like to use a propelling pencil when I'm out. It never needs sharpening and clips on the elastic strap that holds my book shut. If I want pencils for shading or ink for dimensions I can always do that later.
Remember that sketching isn't the only medium. You can assemble prototypes from kits or sculpt using a variety of materials.
I love your enthusiasm for stationery! Nothing beats a nice pencil or quality drawing tools when it comes to putting pencil to paper.
Adam Savage gushing about new tools to play with is so wholesome and makes me so happy
I have the iris circle stencil, it's Simone's fault 😂

Can you pls link to the video where Simone used Iris? Adam mentioned her being the inspiration to get it, but I don't remember seeing it in her channel.

"Favorite tools"
"I haven't even opened it"
exactly
That’s some nice stuff. For the iris, I feel they could totally laser etch graduations showing what size circle you have. Or maybe just a 1” or something.
Love the giant protractor, it's true that you can't have too many tools, I have been buying tools for over fifty years and I still see new tools that I need, that includes the Hovel, the perfect tool for sharpening a carpenter's pencil.
I want the Iris too.
I’m a circle drawing tool
Love how hes up talking their cheap recycled packaging lol.
I've never seen a man suck so much dick over a cardboard box lol
I love Shinwa! They're a Japanese company that specializes in things like steel rules and stick shaped measuring tools of all kinds. I have a wonderful steel rule from them. As a machinist, it's a must-have.
I watched this a while ago and re-found it today. I really love watching how excited you get and the stories you have like the "PENCIL NERD!" I cannot wait to be able to buy both the Iris and the Hovel Pencil Plane. I inherited the gene for collecting pencils, pens, sharpeners, and other desk related items. I especially love the when items are both beautiful/cool/cute AND useful. I call the "useful foofoos".
My goodness, you have an Iris. This tool are awesome. I borrowed one from a friend to mark our circles one my work bench to use for clamps.
This looks like the best fidget toy ever. Waiting for one in the mail :D
That Golden Mean drafting...thingy...is AWESOME.
I have rarely seen such an elegantly designed set of tools, i must buy both the pencil plane and the Iris aperture circle tool!!
