Very ingenious, turning scrap into useful items.

Always interesting to watch. Thank you for working with your hands and recycling, repurposing, and reusing.

Very cool. Thanks for your videos. Your much more clever than me .

Отличная идея!!! Молодец!!! И как рождаются такие идеи?!

Like a boss!

So True! The 50 cent jack is damaged and no longer safe or useful for it's original intended purpose, but the machined components within are still in excellent condition. Those components would take hours to machine and produce and they would probably cost you $30 to $40 to buy, if they were available. Very creative re-purposing and a very useful addition to a work bench.

same. esp. with safety first, proper tools,ingenuity and of course a broken article. peace

Chris Graham - Harbor Freight has a scissors jack for between $20 and $30 IIRC on the price, plus they always have a 20% off coupon

Chris Graham - I just remembered that a few years ago my wife’s old car needed a replacement scissors jack. I picked one up at the nearest automobile salvage yard for $5. So they can be readily acquired for an inexpensive price.

I agree, but his gloves are way over due... 8-)

Your name is familiar, I can't quite put my finger on it

This is good if you have the tools to make the project. We had benches that had all this in Jr high shop. High school shop also had benches with the holes and metal inserts. I like the wooden inserts but you must have rock Maple or other hardwood.

Thank you very much Gareth !

I watch the Handcraft videos by getting to the end. only because I don't know what he's making.

I usually skip to the end first to see what's to be made; and then watch the build afterwards.

hahahah I guess we all were kids once - - skip to the ends of our story books just to find out how the story ends......and then summarise from there! haahah

The wooden 'Holders' (shown in this particular instance) are basically known as 'Dogs' in woodworking. At least that was what trade woodworking during 4 years of Jr. High and High School taught me. A 'Holddown' uses the same holes as a 'Dog' but fit ecentrically so that they dont slip. Of course trade anything in school is now a thing of the past, and anyone wanting to learn a real trade has to go to a specific "Vocational" school outside of the Jr. and High Schools. I took both wood and metal shops in school. At least I know which end of a chisel is used to cut, and which end of a screwdriver drives. And that if a nut won't fit a bolt it's possible that one or the other is 'left hand' thread, and if you turn the nut over it still won't fit the bolt. I had a 'stupidvisor' tell me to try that once - he had a BA but lacked common sense and common knowledge. I told him to try it and see if he could get it to work because I knew that it wouldn't. I believe we are all being 'dumbed down' in our society, in EVERY aspect of life. *****A bench dog is an accessory used on a woodworking workbench to allow clamping of wooden items while being worked or planed. Dog in general is something which holds. At its most basic a bench dog is simply a peg which is installed in a corresponding dog hole in the top of a bench. Wikipedia****

I skip to the end so to make sure its worth my time.

Thanks!

Dantes... *¡¡¡ CALLATE !!!*

I'm not sure he would be too pleased not to get the recognition for it though. Cheers.

@@11111972cjb what if this guy (Handcraft) never saw the other video? can a similar idea strike two people ? just saying!

Could be the same person with multiple channels....$ 🤔

Absolutely. It looks easy but if it were me, I would have ruined it couple of times over.

Anyone can learn these skills. All it takes is a DESIRE to learn. No one is born knowing how to use a welder or other machine equipment. It's all learned. For the people out there that can't do this, I feel that they just haven't TRIED. Haven't given it an honest attempt. Yeah, you're gonna ruin a few pieces on your way, but that's ok, that's how you learn. There was a time in our country that ALL men were handy. You had to be in order to survive. Now, less than half the population can change a flat tire on their car. Is this a societal problem, or a skill problem?

At the beginning, I thought it was unistrut.

An additional vise never hurts. Also this could hold wide pieces on the flat side instead of the edge.

No! Not the same kind of vice setup. You can't use the vices he had for large pieces of wood. His new design can accommodate for much larger pieces. Extremely useful for sanding the surface of a small table top as an example, but imagination is the only limit. Totally valid question though. 😃

Usually people like to watch the process of work itself and a little intrigue adds interest! For those who care about the end result you can use the rewind function )

I'm with you Paul. It's "click-bait" to make you watch the whole video. I just jump to the end to see what the hell it is, then decide whether I'm going to go back and watch the build. Too often I've watched someone's build, only to find that their build doesn't even relate to the tile of the video and what they are building has no interest to me, or what they built is just crap.

@@chrisgraham2904 I tried jumping to the end to see and I still have no clue other than it's a "unique idea"

I was just going to say the same exact thing! Very annoying to watch

Start your own DIY KZfaq channel and make the videos the way you want them. So far, Vanya has not let us down.

At least we can look back at this video and remember when he had all his fingers....

While wearing gloves, no less!! So much stuff here where he's not being too safe.. I can't watch anymore.. cant support the viewer numbers with his unsafe practices. Someone will follow his ideas and cut off fingers..

Lol ... my angle grinder, router and dremel are all louder than any of my saws.

Harold L POTTS the Wood can crack if you drill straight through

@@abdulkek4821 Yes of course. My point was the use of Forstner bits in a hand held drill which can give your hand/wrist a nasty jolt. Secondly the purpose behind Forstner bits, intended for use in a drill press, allows precision of depth of penetration, allowing the point only to pierce the bottom of the hole. The piece is then reversed and the bit inserted in the hole, allowing a fresh cut from the other side and avoiding the splitting you mention.

I'm pretty sure that was unistrut....

you are pretty sure it was strut? . Then we watched a different video. I saw him cut a tab out of a a piece of tube steel .

Was lighting trucking not unistrut

@@strykerlandwill It was a solid piece of unistrut ...not all unistrut has cut outs in it some are solid and then you flip it over and the edges are curled in... like unistrut...👀

Why do you say that? When he uses the mitre saw?

Those gloves used to have fingers!

@@hughjarrse And the mitre saw eate them! ;-D :-D :-D

I'm carpenter - joiner - cabinet maker & it's really difficult to correctly clamp a piece so close to the blade. If you are concentrated at your job & if nobody comes to disturb you, there's no problem.

@@cornelius131 agreed ..... a lot of people watching this are not

indeed at least give the credit

That's what you got out of this video ? Weird. I can tell you why I would, because I don't want dirt all over my bench. Metal I can pick up with a magnet scoop, dirt not so much.
