We are bentonite source factory, bulk purchase, low price and high quality, boss, do you need?

Here in Asia, we can still buy barbeque grills. they sell them on the market, in different sizes. if you like some talk to me .

...but...will a PEANUT BUTTER jar work as a light bulb protector...?

I just came across your video and faced palmer. LOL. I am in the middle of making a 12" x 12" x 1 1/2" bending jig for hooks and scrolls. I have hours invested in it, and your jig is easy and done in 30 minutes. Lol. I tilt my hat to you, Sir! Thank you for reminding me to keep it simple. 🙂

Great video Jeff excellent work to you and Dana! I was curious about sand blasting and thank God your KZfaq video popped up it made understanding sandblasting a breeze

Also, I'd say use the wood blocks for grip inside of a vice or even just a clamp. I think stability should always be a priority when it comes to smashing something. I have suffered too many bruises and punctures to risk it anymore. Once I sent an impact Phillips through the webbing of my left hand while trying to get an awkward screw that last 1/8 inch into an unstable object. Learn from my mistakes.

The hammer with the nails is a damn shame. What a beautiful blackened handle on that one. It was either ancient or someone took a very long time making it to their liking. Or both.

That is SO nice, amazing setup. Appreciate the shoutout to Gary, also!

Thank you so much

From Airgas MSDS: "Fumes from the welding of stainless steel and other alloys contain nickel compounds and chromium [VI] and [III]. Ozone is formed during most electric arc welding, and exposures can be high in comparison to the exposure limit, particularly during metal inert gas welding of aluminum."

This is sooo much easier than what I did! After realizing crushing it w/ a hammer was insane, I weighed out the amount I needed (3lbs for 30lbs green sand), put the clumping litter in a small trash can and added h2o while stirring to make a pancake-like slurry. ( It gets viciously thick very quickly, so you're better off starting with 1/3 litter and more water, then adding litter and water as you go.) Then I spread out a bunch of 6mil plastic sheeting on the driveway in the sun and smeared the slurry on it. It took two days to dry but it was nice flaky stuff that I can crush up by hand. Like I said your idea was way better! Thanks for posting this.

Don't the blades get dull - really fast?

thanks for the advice buddy I'm going to utilize this process in healing a wound in a pecan tree by adding whitewash copper sulfate and in that clay powder

Thx! I think I will finally get my metal blade to work, I was pushing too hard...Also for crazy shapes I plan to do straight cuts blocking it in rough and then grind to smooth everything out... cheers😊

Awesome vid

thanks for sharing

Thanks for the great jig! I made one the day after I saw your first video and used it on next project. Ended up making another for to allow two simultaneous setups. I made a third for a friend, only used three 1/2" squares. I ground two to round above the drilled holes, so ends up the same function as rounds, but have perfect alignment in a vice. I also leave all in place, just flip the unused one over so it is out of the way, but helps to provide more even pressure across the vice jaws. Great tool and eliminates a bunch of non-adjustable ones of various fixed sizes. THANK YOU!

this is gold. thank you for your service 🙏🏽👍🏽

Thanks for this review Jef really informative I'm just hoping that this will work as well on a T6 aluminum as I don't have a lathe machine to make this kind of hole and I'm planning to do it with a drill press with a 1 1/4 bit even if takes a while is not a big deal to me as long as it works. I'll do it like 1/8 of an inch per drill and pull it out so it will not make those long curly chips that causes the problem.

thank you .. grandpa brought this over on the mayflower... lol...lol

Hi Jeff, I have been following you since you started. I love your down to earth style. This is a great project, I loved the filming, editing, and the project. Thanks for sharing, and greetings from Canada!

Have you worked teflon blocks? Any advice?

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

The thin metal grate in the middle is gonna melt or clog in a few uses

Dude...grateful for that info...any chance you have a video on how to bend/shape stainless round bar (2.5mm+)?

Sir , I love your work, its highly and humbly requested to sandblast a Image / Photo ( Portrait ) on Granite. if you do this, I would be the best source of learning to open a door of my small shop ( small business ). Mostly customers contact me to sand blast photos sized by 12" x 12" on Granite. kindly make a VDO on Photo sandblasting . thanks a lot in Adv.

Machine setting?

Man, this is awesome!! Really good idea.

I'm going to be cutting out a couple of skinner knife blades out of 3/16" thick 440C steel and I was hoping to be able to use my table top (9" I think) wood bandsaw for this. The speed isn't adjustable though so I'm not sure if it will work. I was going to try a high tooth count bi-metal blade and cut a little at a time and allow the blade to cool off between cuts so I'm hoping I can pull it off but not sure. I do have a 4 1/2 angle grinder I can use but I'd rather not if I can help it.

Better late than never, however; I just watched your video on Bending Forks. I have a Jig that allows me to make S Hooks in two sizes, and it works fine. However; your jig provides 8 to ten sizes and is very easy to build. I have a Harbor Frieght Bender, but; I really don't use it much. With your creation, I can now use the dyes from the compact bender and expand my ability to create numerous sizes S Hooks. Thank you for sharing your Jig. 😊

I like the idea, may I suggest a iteration? The socket slightly wobbles as it slides down over the 1/2” square stock. When you use larger sockets you can take a second socket and invert it upside down inside the original socket so that you have two sockets nested and two points to engage the 1/2” square, top and bottom. Great idea I’ll be building one too.

I made one of these wire bending jigs today in about 3 hours as I had to mount and adjust the vise on my drill press. I bent some wire left over from some cattle panels that have very strong wire and it worked fine. Since your design uses a 1/2 inch square peg to use half inch drive sockets I thought about making a jig out of 3/8 inch round rod and square rod to use 3/8 drive sockets and perhaps make smaller hooks. Thanks much for the design as I can now use the jig to put hooks on wires with ease and I have about 80 hooks of these to make.

Good joint there.

2:33 😂

thank you much.i have a old atlas lathe.the 3 jaw runs out a bunch. i will try to clean jaws and see if your info helps.thanks again

I cut a lot of aluminum with my wood band saw, never tried metal but man it goes right threw aluminum

I'm seening your video from Colombia ✌

nice video- alternatively you can use angle iron for leaves

I'm going to try this. But, I'm confounded about something: When you lock the jig in place with the two pins in position, you appear to lock the bolt into the jaws of the vice and not the pins. If that's right, how are the pins being locked in?

Thank you fo the valuable information, I thought that I need variable speed saw to cut metal, just buy the blade for the metal ,Thanks again

Thanks for sharing. I think it’s a great ideal.

The absolute worst way to sharpen an electric is to put it in a Dremel chuck with the intention of of running it over a file. Trust me. Just don't do it. You will die

wow.. love your ingenuity,

Hey Jeff - what happens when I want to drill a 30mm (1.1811") hole into aluminum soffit/gutter thickness aluminum 0.6858mm (0.027 inch)? Will the forstner bit last me over 200 holes? Will it even work, or is there a bitter method? (some kind of punch or something)

Thank you for this video! I tried to make a ball mill with junk pieces & bearings and nails, lying around, tried hammering, I just tried crushing with stone in my workshop (I did not want to trash my kitchen mortar & pestel), it worked best so far, but not energy efficientwise. Thought hey, internet is there!! And found your vid. Tomorow, Walmart and aquisition of a cheap blender. Cheers!

Great idea will use this thank you buddy

I had completely forgotten about using a blender for grinding bentonite. 😮😮😮 however, I will be investigating this when I can get my foundry set up. Thanks for reminding me of this. 😊😊😊

Jon Favreau?

You could just use the calipers to measure the diameter 🤷‍♂️

Thank you, I thought this was correct, i simply want to weld small stuff as a hobby, Thank you for confirming my knowledge lol ,
