One of the things I like about those acid brushes is you can cut them shorter with scissors or a sharp chisel, and it stiffens them up a lot. Or, if you cut them on a skew, they can get into really small spaced or detailed work.

That self abuse with face shields had me in stitches! Epic! Shame we can't get any of these tools in NZ...I'd have'em all! This is one of my favourites from Stumpy Nubs...but I can't tell you how many times I've learned and used tips or tools as seen on your show! Damn it's good. My favourite go-to video channel! Thanks for doing such GREAT content.

Sent my wife the links, no problem for gifts for my wood shop. She may send you a nasty gram. Have a great Holiday Stumpy

Important tip on the TweezerMan tweezers: yes, they are awesome (I have a different model), but they have a pretty big issue with counterfeits when sold online, so it's usually best to buy them in store when possible to make sure you're getting the real thing. Target carries some models, beauty stores carry more.

The two cheapest and most used tools in my DIY toolbox came from a 'Pound Shop' (Dollar Store) and literally cost £1 each here in the UK. A small hammer and a bradawl. I use both tools nearly every time I do some work. The small hammer is great for small nails, pins and staples where a big hammer would be too heavy. The bradawl for marking before cutting, poking a pilot hole for a screw, clearing out a drilled hole of sawdust, measuring the depth of a hole, stirring a small pot of paint, opening up the end of a glue cartridge that got blocked, even flicking a lost screw from under a skirting board.

My kids just called you the "Dad" of KZfaq. I can't think of a better compliment. 10:10

I don't know why this channel got recommended to me, I'm not a woodworker, but I'm hooked. Very interesting videos and great presentation.

Just wanna say, I don't woodwork but i love your videos for falling asleep. I love hearing people gently talking expertly about something

Your list of past recommendations included the Nail Holder. I bought one when you first recommended it, and use it very often. I liked it so much that I gave one to my son. He claims that he hasn’t had a sore thumb or finger since that day. I see a couple of tools in your new list that are sure to be in Santa’s sleigh on December 25. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

ALWAYS a worthwhile addition to my woodworking quest (or quixotic endeavors). James invented the word “practical.”

a lot of that tools is hard to find here at brazil and the shipping and taxes makes kinda impossible to access but is very good to know their existence to find something does (kinda) the same job! tyvm!

I got the face shield yesterday, Tuesday 12/21, and wore it today while clearing 4" of snow. It works fine. It doesn't really fog up and helps to keep my face warm. But, because of the warmth of my breath, it causes the snow to melt and it's a bit of a problem seeing through it. I'll just take a soft cloth with me to wipe it off periodically.

I am impressed that you always keep your videos informative and concise. Thank you

I agree with the tweezerman. I moved to a new country and made sure I brought mine with me. That’s how good they are. Easily the best in the world.

Another in a great series. As others have noted, I try to keep a low profile when I watch the Cool Tools videos. (The finance dept is not fond of my habit of going from viewing to buying without checking the CC balance. Hey, I only buy the ones that I NEED... Or like.) But the cheap cool tools is my favorite... Watch, buy, no worries - - they are all inexpensive!) Sorry, I'd comment more but gotta check out those links below... Now!

Some great ideas here. I like the hold downs, but they are not available locally. What I can get are F clamps exactly the right size, so 20 minutes per clamp on the metal lathe and welder and I have the same thing for about NZ$12. The face shield is another great idea. I was looking for better safety glasses this week after feeling a woodchip from the table saw hit my cheek. That mask is so much better and I am sure I can find one locally. The Perspex Ys were a reminder that I should put proper extraction on my New Years resolution list. My wife is very understanding, but I must spend at least two or three hours a week cleaning up after myself, and the two big vacuums I use are almost as big as a proper extractor.

Hi James I want to mention a really good affordable item every shop and or tool box should have. I found at Wal-Mart checkouts is a round 3.5" magnifying mirror in case you get something in your eye if you don't find at the checkouts look elsewhere mine has come in handy many times hang one up at eye level. I even have one in my glove box. Protect mirror from scratches by putting in a zip bag.

Leaky Blast Gates- I need some of those clearvuecyclone gates - Nice piping setup! Here’s a possible idea, I now use 5” stretch wrap - the kind that comes with a cardboard handle -to pre wrap things like airtight fittings. The problem with permanent tape (aluminum, duct, electrical or paper tape) is residue. - To make sure the stretch plastic holds in place (usually unnecessary), I put some sticky tape over top of the stretch plastic wrap joint. That way I can easily take the fittings apart by cutting the plastic stretch wrap with scissors and there isn’t any residue or stubborn cleanup on the pipe and fittings.

I have that face shield, and it has saved me stitches or worse more than once when a turning blank let go. I won't even turn on my lathe without it, and I'll sometimes wear it for a couple of hours with no fatigue at all.

These videos are GOLD! Solid gold!!

Already have a couple of these, BUT planning on a couple more now. Thanks James!

I purchased the Bionic Face Shield based on your recommendation. I also purchased some of the double-sided tape you previously recommended. Thank you

same on giving up on all the other new "tools" for spreading glue and going back to the acid brush. those are a lot cheaper than ive been buying though, good find.

The bad news is its too late to ask Santa for stuff. The good news is my birthday is coming up soon! I could easily see myself using every one of those items. Thanks for the great ideas. Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and New Year.

Have a splinter? The best tool for removing them is a hypodermic needle. Spade-shaped and razor sharp with an ever-so-gradual hook at the tip. This is the tool you want for removing an embedded splinter. It's the best thing for getting in and under the splinter and lifting it out, when other methods typically push the splinter deeper.

My daughter picked up the 29 piece Fisch brad point bit set for Christmas. These things are terrific. No more cheap-chinese-tools twist drills in my woodworking!

Ordered the bionic mask it is a great addition to my shop. Finally a safe shield that doesn't fogg up

Nice selection. I have a couple of them, the 11th finger is great and I use mine all the time. I actually got it free. I also have the push pads but not exactly the same one you showed. Works well but I find I have to clean the grippers often.

This is great. I was planning to upgrade my face shield and the last time I looked on Amazon a shield that looked like this one was about $60. Ordered immediately. Thanks!

I was going to buy some Christmas gifts for the grandchildren, but.....Stump's new vid showed me the error of my ways!!!!! Merry Christmas to me!!!!!

Thanks again for sharing and I really want to acknowledge the extra effort you put in to produce your Cool tool series. By far my number 1 watch. Well almost, a close number 1 to Cool Tools is Eric at 10th Generation Dairyman. Like you he has a great presentation and great information. If you want to see where your milk really comes from he is a must see. Thanks again

James, I’ve been wanting to thank you for your safety videos. i did purchase the face shield. When I’m about to do something stupid, I hear your voice saying “if something makes you uncomfortable, don’t do it”. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

Thanks for the great video James 👍 You are an awesome teacher 😀

Great video; now I have a nice Christmas list for myself! I spent the last few months building deck with Ipe which creates splinters that are so long, sharp, and strong that you almost have to admire them. Those Splintertweeze tweezers would have been very handy.

Thanks so much. Just in time for Christmas! Happy holidays

this series is good for my soul man, keep it coming!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!!

Really enjoying your very helpful and informative videos! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing with us James got lots of great ideas. Will be getting some next month. Stay safe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Fred 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻

I just used your code and bought a Pro 2.0. Thanks for the savings! Cant wait!

Just a idea on the glue brushes. If you want to reuse them, keep a water bottle (with some water in it) handy and just drop the brush in, recap. I think it should work. I use old or bulk pack toothbrushes for edge gluing and the water bottle works great for those. The toothbrush spreaders work ok and can be trimmed to size.

Finally bought the Isotunes Xtra 2.0 Thank you for the discount code. Ive been wanting to get some for a while now. Cheers

Awesome tools!!!! Thanks for the heads up!!! 👍😎😃

Watched this on a lark. Stayed for the incredible tool usage and explanations. Going to go buy several.

Thanks again for all of your great tool recommendations!

As a fellow wearer of glasses, protective eyewear has always been a pain to use so I often didn't. I found the Honeywell face shield about a year and a half ago and now I use it always. It is super comfortable, stays open when open, and is really quite good at being non-fogging. Great collection of affordable shop toys!

Thanks James. Great gift ideas.

Just received my order from Taylor Tools - great recommendation! I see the dogs and clamps coming in very handy!

Fantastic tools, James! Thanks for all the tips! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I bought that point to point tool for my wife. She uses it for laying out buttons on her sewing projects.

I definitely need that accordion thing in my shop

"A visible reminder not to cut off one of your fingers!" Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND a bunch of tools I didn't know I needed. LOL!

Thanks - ordered a few items - great teaching moment - thanks again

Awesome modelling of the bionic face shield, I almost spilled my coffee laughing. Another great set of reviews :)

I need to be faster! I ordered a couple of these items, but apparently so did many other people. At least one item will take a month to arrive. I have a face shield. I use the wire mesh shield often, generally when using the chain saw. I use the plastic shield some. I will see if I like the "Bionic" shield better and use it more often. I do have proper safety glasses, with side shields, which I use in the shop.

Great video, I have the orange push stick for years,. It is a wonder assistant. I also have a couple of the others you recommend. Thank you for sharing

Great selection! Merry Christmas to you , your team and family!

I was hoping you'd mention Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers. They're amazing, cheap and can be on your keychain. I've been carrying the same pair since 1991.

I wish I'd seen this video last week. I just bought the same face shield from Lee Valley and paid 3 times as much!

Nice Job Stumpy. Just spent $120 at Taylor Tools

The clear view fittings are great also to see if you have a clog if that ever happens.

Definitely going to check out the holdfasts and dogs. I've been looking for some that didn't require selling an organ.

Great recommendations! Thanks as usual!

Thank you, James, good stuff as always!

I like that orange push stick , every machine should come with at least two. I’ll be adding that to be after Christmas list.

Those point to point tools are brilliant at saving you time

Thanks James

A Zona saw was the very first tool I bought last year when I decided to take up woodworking. If only all tools had the value/price ratio of those!

Awesome advise! Keep it coming

Thanks for sharing those tips!

I'm gonna have to look into a Point 2 Point! That looks super handy!

Great ideas for last minute christmas gifts!

Outstanding site, thanks for all the great info

My problem with the brushes is that they tend to shed bristles.

Always great recommendations

That little razor saw really is great, I mostly just keep mine by the lathe for separating parts that I don't want to part off completely but it's a capable little saw for lots of jobs.

Very informative!

I need those tweezers! Definitely a self purchase stocking stuffer for me this year from "Santa"

Merry Christmas!

Great recommendations Thanks!

Thank you. Great ideas in this video.

Hey Stumpy, cuoldn't sleep so I'm checking some of your latest videos. Stay safe man!

Love this! Thank you.

Good recommendations! I bought one of those "ink brayer" rollers for spreading glue after the last time you mentioned them. They're amazingly useful. And I agree on the MicroJig push blocks. You'd think all push blocks would work the same, but the rubber on the MicroJig ones is _much_ grippier than any others I've tried. Not super cheap, but worth it!

Those kind of tweezers are also great for micro-soldering.

I have a full face shield for my son when he Dremmels or cuts wood. Invaluable in my opinion.

Very Cool, James!

Love your videos!!

On tweezers I really like uncle bills Silver grippers, I would say more powerful, mostly an east coast thing, but recomend them

Great Video and recommendations...

Thanks!

Great products!!

I just got some new ISOTUNES earbuds and they’re great.

I have an acid brush that must be five years old. I plop it into a jar half full of water when done spreading glue. If I need to reuse it right away I have a paper towel to squeeze the water out of the bristles and spread some more glue. When finished with a glue up I run the brush under running water to flush glue away, rinse out the jar, and put jar and brush on a little shelf above the sink. In five years I must have saved 100 times 11 cents or $11.00 dollars. Cheese burger money! Yum, Yum.

I'm not sure I'm sold on the face shield. Can we see another demonstration of cheapie face shield in action. 🤔 Just kidding I have the better face shield and it is far superior. I honestly don't remember if it was a recommendation from one of Stubby's previous videos but I'm willing to bet it was.

stumpy.....you are the man!

This guy has excellent videos!!!

Machinist's tip for splinters: If you don't need the pointy ones you can use calipers. I'd say they're even better than flat tipped tweezers because they're so sturdy.

I need a face shield and dust collection in my garage. I’m a wood carver, so I use a bandsaw a lot.
