    To measure the crews height you can use the depth gauge (the tip that sticks out when you slide it open) at the back of the calipers. Place the back of the calipers on the screw, slide out the tip (depth gauge) until it touches the surface of the wood and read your measurement ;)

    • @daltondunn7856
      @daltondunn7856 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I used to messure those kinds of features like that too but its even better to use the back of the slide like you would when measuring a step, I think the tip is really for measuring holes...

    I really don't know how Anton does not have at least 1 million subs, amazing quality content. When I first discover him through Magnus I was 100% sure it was a big channel and didn't even look the subs for weeks I just got addicted to his videos and then I got shocked I thought It was a second channel cause the relation subs-content doesn't make any sense, and again AMAZING QUALITY CONTENT, I know for sure you will get a lot more subs in the near future. Greetings from Ecuador
    Ps: My favourites are the how to train something videos, It gives me ideas me to train my grip and forearms, also the cooking videos. Many people don't like techincal videos but I do, thanks to you I now know about myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.

    A real task I had "fun" with is digging in a crawlspace, filling a plastic box and moving it out, filling a big trash can. There were many chunks of demolished concrete. Digging crouched over with a shovel is hard.
    To simulate? A bunch of pavers, clay sticking them together randomly and a standard shovel with a cut handle about 2 feet long. You can only use the shovel, no picking up stuff with your hands (in reality, everything is too compacted to grab with your hands). The crawlspace can be simulated with 2 x 6s, that plywood, and some wood horses. The space should be too low to sit up, maybe 6-8 inches lower. If you really want to add some fun, I had to drag a rusty old water heater with pipes sticking out of it, on its side, over everything first. It was an old tank, without the insulation and smooth siding, and full of hard water deposits. Had to drag it about 20 feet. Maybe 350 lb?
    And I used to have a job where I took axles off mobilehomes. Carrying those things out of the crawlspace under the trailers was difficult. They are sort of like barbells, but the center is a 3-inch diameter pipe, and there are springs, rockers and link plates still attached generally...and of course, the cast iron hubs stay on. I often had to move them 20 plus feet, because there are "triple-wide" trailers, and the opening would be on just one side.
    I could also take an inflated tire off a rim and put it on another in less than a minute with 1 tire iron, 1 large screwdriver of similar size and a bar for roadwork I use to take air out of the tire. I hit it right near the rim and the air escapes in a fraction of a second. If the valve stem is rubber, you can just grab it with visegrips and pull and twist it on an angle, and it comes out completely. The air can be let out that way in about 2-3 seconds. But you want cotton in your ears if you are that close. With the roadwork bar, you are far enough away, but it is hard to hit with enough force and exactly where you need to hit it. The rest is all refined technique, to do it fast. I was always changing these tires because they come on moon rims, but people want them on 5-hollers for toy hauler/boat trailers they are building. It was my dad's business, so he had me do stuff.
    Oh! That is not a micrometer, that is a caliper.

    Gentlemen, you do not know how to use a screwdriver or a handsaw!! This is a62-year-oldd lady here, and I haven't don't either in tens of years. TECHNIQU,E not brawn. Smooth gliding movements. Drive the screw at a consistent angle so the spiral does not need to be restablished each turn. Saws cut one way most efficiently, the other way is a glide to keep the blade in the groove; and the arm movement needs to be smooth even strokes (that wobbly blade was hilarious yet potentially dangerous if it breaks) that goes along the body not into or chicken wing. I learned both of these from my father while in middle school. Technique, not brawn.
