That turned out great Jimmy. I love your method of lining up those drawer handles, I filed that away and will try it the next time I install handles.

I call myself technically inclined, but I wouldn't have thought of this method in a million years.
@theelectronwrangler6416 9 жыл бұрын
I agree, very clever use of geometry ... I'll have to remember this. I've used intersecting lines to find the center, but I've never considered just making them parallel to find the exact spots that quickly.

Hey guy, I just wanted to let you guys know that I just checked my Subscription box and I seen that Jimmy DiResta uploaded a new video. I just want to tell you guys how happy I am. I have been bored and lonely searching the youtubes for something to watch, and when I noticed that DiResta had a new project for me to enjoy my boredom faded away. Let's all enjoy this video together.
