    This press has worked like a charm for my projects th-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

      Because Netflix does the job of catalogueing and sorting the videos. Someone could do the same, if they made a website which used an to insert the youtube page of each video into their page, to make it look and feel more like netflix, than like youtube. Yes, I am suggesting a movie directory website for youtube content.

    In America we have a saying "measure twice, cut once". In Russia you have "measure 7 times, cut once". The quality of this craftsmanship reflects that. Through impatience and over-use of power tools I question if I could build a water wheel that even functions. Yet you have made something that spins true using the bare minimum of tools. Absolutely incredible.

    For those watching that would like to know more about the Chekhov’s Gun reference in the beginning (2:40). Chekhov was a famous Russian playwright, one of his principles regarding theatre and storytelling was not to lead the audience on to false expectations. “If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there” as Chekhov himself said. In short: tell your story with the bare essentials and do not make false promises. Of course do with this information as you please, there are many ways to tell a story. In this video he jokingly said that if we once saw a rifle on his wall, we could expect him to do with the rifle anything but using it as intended.
    PS: Chekhov’s own funeral was almost something out of one of his plays. Upon his death his body was transported from Badenweiler, Germany in a refrigerated railway-car that upon arriving in Moscow offended friends and colleagues when they saw that the railway-car originally was made “For the Conveyance of Oysters”. Then on the day of his funeral, thousands of mourners mistakenly followed the wrong procession, that of an army general. Chekhov called many of his plays comedies, even though they often were melancholic and bleak. I think the unfortunate events surrounding his funeral would be something he himself would find pretty funny.

    42:48: "I believe that the work should not be tiring, and that the best rest is a change of activity, so when I feel that I am tired, I just switch to another job or go swimming, fishing, cooking or washing dishes. Work should be harmless and enjoyable, and often hard work will do more harm than good. Although occasionally, in a fit of enthusiasm, it is permissible to perform feats of labor. But only in moderation."

    The detail of how you have learned to spend more (or less) effort because it is required (or not) is very useful. As an Engineer, the tendency for extreme accuracy is always there, so know when it matters or does not is very critical. Understanding the points in time that require extra attention focus on design and where "good but rough is good enough" also helps a person doing it the first time where extra care is a good investment. I enjoy the way you present the material, and using the correct description of the tools used lexicon for clamp types and such, helps those without experience to look up details on more information themselves -- this is very important to those that have less experience to help themselves! Bravo.

    Everybody, who has ever tried to make a video about something he is crafting, knows how much work it is, to make a filming with intended focus, changing position, controlling the material, saving it, and still do the work you want to film. Great work. I love it all and can't get enough of it. Very good work for filming and the opus itself, genious, I might say. I'm a big fan of your projects, the hut, the waterwheel and your tool manufacturing. The place you have found seems to be far away from any other hut or humans. That can not be found in densely populated areas like Middle of Europe anymore. May this place be protected from any evil-minded creatures.

    The shape of the wheel made with so many smaller pieces means that the geometry size will be more stable. It will not shrink much from drying because the shrinkage is greatest in the direction of the length of the wood grain. Since the pieces are small, their shrinkage should be negligible. It's a good design. Thank you so much for such a wonderful long video. I will watch it many times, I'm sure.
