I assumed at the beginning that you would paint it (and I love the colour you chose) but I'll agree with the other comments - natural finish looks spot-on for the vintage style. Love the eject-a-knob at 13:23 too :)

The two most satisfying moments: seeing how well it fitted in its place, like it was made for it... and hearing the little farty noises the holes make. It's great to see the growing array of tools come into use.

Yeah, the ejection of the knob with compressed air and the farty sounds were the two highlights - love the childish joy aspect - but the whole thing is just beautiful. I love it. Inspiring in all ways. :)

There's something special about making tools look like art. Adding the paint would look really sharp, but the raw etch still looks very cool. And putting on that "shelf" makes it look like it was always meant to be there. Thanks for sharing!

@SomewhatAbnormal 2 жыл бұрын

Great piece! I use a vinyl cutter and acid or saltwater/voltage etching quite a lot - it’s a great way to etch without a glowforge. My favorite part, dropping the perfectly sized peg into the hole, then blowing it back out!

Thanks - I've already started thinking of more ways to use the vinyl cutter. :)

No paint “needed,” but I always find when doing faceplate etching, or really any etching where you have numbers or text you need to read often, the fill definitely helps

Drill Driver Kit with 4-Tool Heads. It has made life easier for me. Keep up the good work!

@petergamache5368 2 жыл бұрын

This turned out quite nice! I'd have tossed magnets in the base of the index but I think your idea works out better in the long run - the locating pins will prevent the paint from being chipped/scratched off the surface of the cabinet, since you're forced to lift the index rather than just slide it off. Smart!

@Alexchii 2 жыл бұрын

Magnets recessed in the holes drilled for the pegs and a felt to cover the bottom would be the perfect solution I think.

@DanKoning777 2 жыл бұрын

I can't make up my mind re: paint vs vintage. Neil I think you should make another one for your spade/router bits so we can make an educated guess ;) *Well done.*

@brendanhurley8780 2 жыл бұрын

Great job. I would have used a couple of strong magnets countersunk into the base of the drill stand assuming the metal on the cabinet isn’t stainless or aluminium of course.

@rossmckenzie9446 2 жыл бұрын

@lukebrown2674 2 жыл бұрын

@tonysutton6559 2 жыл бұрын

I thought about that then thought that the bits might jump out as the stand was pulled away from the cabinet.

@bobd. 2 жыл бұрын

I was thinking along the same line but then thought that magnets on the index would attract any metal bits from where ever you set it down and then you'd be having to clean it off all the time. If you put the magnets on the cabinet and a disc set flush on the underside of the index that might work. But again any ferrous debris would be attracted to them and you'd still have the maintenance issue. Great looking drill index and the videography is excellent as always. My thanks to @Pask Makes for taking the time to share this.

Awesome project! A tip from sign-makers, who spend many hours weeding vinyl cutouts - use the point of an Xacto blade to pick the unwanted parts out of the stencil. Stick the point just far enough into the vinyl to poke and pull it out, instead of pushing with the awl.
