Like a boss. Not even a “miss me?”

Seven months and you slide in here like it was yesterday. It's been quiet without your high quality content Tom, so glad to see you're well and in the mood to make (at least one) new video. You've been missed.

Hello Tom , Wonderfull to see your back again 👍👍👍😃

Extremely happy to see you back on KZfaq again Tom.

"Deprived of Tom's videos, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad." - Unknown

Haha! “…not all at once” - I love the vision of Tom lashing all his machinery into a huge pyramid balancing on the wedge 😂

I’d be interested in the thrust bearing setup and how it attaches to the wedge. Pretty sweet little lifter you made!

Thanks Tom. This was a great, succinct video and I even learned a new phrase to throw around and feel smart: Coefficient of friction. Glad you're back!

Great Video, I always learn skills that aren't often shared in our shop. I am building up a home manual maching shop and find these rarely covered tips and techniques invaluable.

Welcome back!! Your wisdom and ingenuity were missed!

Ben busy with recovery from treatment for cancer so haven’t watched for months. Looks good today!

Cool tool. Super happy to see you again, and looking forward to more. No pressure 😁

Archimedes is proud!

Never get tired of you showing us tools to measure things. Deeply clever tool you've built.

Hey there Tom, good to see you back again. This wedge jack is a fantastic idea. I am very surprised how little torque it took to make such a large lifting force! Thanks for this!

“So you’re back… from outer space… with that same sad look upon your face…” 😜

Awesome video and engineering! Would be interested in some simple drawings. I would love to make one or two for our shop! Thanks Tom!

Always a good day when an OX Tools video drops. Thanks, will file that one away for an emergency.

Very interesting I think I’m gonna have to make one. Welcome back it’s been a long seven months.

As AVE would say. “The power of the incline plane.” Nice to see you again Tom.

Delighted to see you back Tom. I appreciate the work that goes into making these videos and how that can detract from the pleasure of just making stuff, but l have to tell you how much I appreciate all your videos and how much we all learn from them. Thanks again sir!

I'm not sure where _I've_ been for the last 7 months now. Great to have you back.

You have fascinating projects. I wouldn't have thought mild steel and delrin would have held up that nicely. I hope you and your loved ones are healthy.

Great to see you back Tom, I was truly worried about you. Hope all is well.

These are working on the exact same principle as mechanical felling wedges for lumberjacks! Had one of those back in my days, but never thought of using it to jack up anything else… Thanks for the inspiration!

After the deafening silence, he come through with another really interesting video. Thanks, Tom. We all appreciate everything you share.

That was a short wait for a new YT episode. Great to see a follow up on this project and thanks for sharing! Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark

Hey Tom, good to see you again

I was only thinking this afternoon i hadnt heard from my friend Tomfor some time, and i get home and there you are. 👍

Funny! So, I made the comment about wedges and spent time and money for “discriminating craftsmen”. I have bronze, maple and plastic…. Spent the week moving a heavy safe on a nice floor I used all these tools: wedges, pry bars, wood blocks and a hydraulic porta spreader. Now I need a new tool! Genius and so appreciated of your time and great video.

This In a min version would be handy in the automotive industry

Welcome back - you've been sorely missed !!

Glad you're alive and well. Was starting to get concerned that CA had gotten the best of ya- Thanks for another awesome video!

Great to see you're back! And that's a dandy little jack you made.

Wow, wonderful to see you posting again Tom.

Good to see you back!!!

tree surgeons here in Germany carry these type of screw wedges. not very expensive and absolute lift beasts. nice to hear from you again. hoping for some more stuff in the near future.

Excellent as always. Two thumbs up

GREATTO SEE U BACK

Very neat indeed Mr. Tom!

I thought you were dead. I got so forlorn that I subscribed to Clough42 in my loneliness.

You're the man Tom, been watching for a decade

Genius! Kudos to you sir!!

Nice job again Tom, great to see you back!

Delrin is such a good material choice here to have the wedge slide well and prevent galling. Good stuff!

Great design/build, as usual! And it's also great to see a new vid from you :)

What a great tool, not too complex to make as well. Thanks for showing it working. Very useful. Cheers Tony

Good to see you Tom. ❤

Welcome back great little tidbit for us viewers. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Well looks like I have a new project! Great to see you!

Brilliant engineering and tool building. A machinist that knows how too build his own tools is essential for any good shop!

thanks for sharing. keep up the good work.

Miss you Tom. As always, good video!

Great to see you back Tom. Have missed your content. All the best for the new year from NZ.
