This was great. Very funny and relatable. You should definitely do this again if possible. Love Izzy being there and just destroying those nails. The microphone/ screwdriver bit was hysterical
What a fun video. Reminds me of the days before framing nailers in the early eighties. My boss told me I had to get 3 inch twisted nails in three hits into 2x4’s. Then after the sheathing he would walk around and fake tripping over any nails that weren’t below the deck. I learned real fast how to do it. Probably couldn’t now. Thanks for the good entertainment!
Loved bringing Izzy in as the surprise ringer. Especially since he casually sinks all 3 nails in one hit right off the bat. Would have loved to see a competition between him and Larry Haun. Izzy's arms are 3 times the size of Larry's but i bet Larry could have still kicked butt, he was the GOAT.
To all those that thought " I could've done that". Hold your horses. Everything changes under pressure. I might've been able to get the 8 power tool companies and if SAE was accepted as imperial, that 1 too, maybe. Amazing how simple tasks and questions provided me with 16 minutes of entertainment. Thank you Jon. BTW we're breathlessly waiting for another build off with your kind neighbor.

On the 2x4 size question, it depends on when it was made. They used to be bigger than they are today. If you look in a house that’s old enough, you can find ones that are actually 2x4 inches.
Super fun video! From the questions, the challenges and epic slotted screw finale!! And I guess I'll give extra points for the screwdriver microphone!!
Loved this one. And I couldn’t help but think of that scene in Star Wars where Yoda is fighting all crazy out of no where. Izzy comes in all humble and unassuming and then destroys the competition haha.
This was far too entertaining 😂I would of failed the second you mentioned "pocket holes" - I have some sort of natural aversion to competency at drilling them haha.
This was incredible. Hope you do videos like this again soon! Wish you would come up north to Canada. Vancouver to be specific. But I know that's a stretch. Great work as always. Love to see the channel growing and evolving every week!.
Matthew Peach said something to the effect of: if you're cutting or gluing popsicle sticks together, you're a woodworker. I like that logic. Doesn't matter what level you're at, you're part of the community.
Loved the idea of this. It was my Birthday Friday and my wife took me to our Rockler. Sadly they didn’t have 1 of the 5 things I was looking for. Love their store but I swear, just no good luck on that trip. Btw keep up with doing you. No one can make you as happy as you do!
This was so much fun! I'd have lost so many of the physical competitions, and gotten about half the questions wrong! I think that means I'm a certified internet woodworking expert, right??
Oh but just the fact that americans can't even name the measuring system that they fight so hard to keep going around even though it is flawed says a lot. And sorry to say, but it is really funny to the rest of the world except in Liberia and Myanmar who are the only other countries still not oficially using metric😜
Then again, most people got the right answer on the fractions more quickly than I did, and I'm an engineer - we just don't work with fractions anywhere near as much in metric countries so processing them is much slower.
This is a great twist to your normal content! I'm not going to lie, though. I'd have been reaching for one of those hammers for that flathead challenge. Never said anything about having to drive them with the drill!
I for one am glad to see something like this. It's entertaining and it's woodworking related. I am not saying that the winner didn't deserve to win but I think some of the one's trying to be woodworkers are a bit overlooked. There are some out there that are struggling to get half decent tools and the ones winning them are the ones that probably don't need it. I do understand the dynamics of it but it is something I've noticed. Anyway, great video so keep up the great work. Stay safe and have fun 💯😁
I'm so bummed that I was invited to this, but my plant had a turnaround that I couldn't get out of so I couldn't attend. Congrats to the winners!! Keep up the great content!
Great video! Rockler has a fairly new store in Cary, NC would love to see you shoot something there even if no challenges or giveaways, keep up the great content.
Thanks again for doing this Jon!!! It was a lot of fun and the video turned out awesome! I’m loving the Kreg Forman!!! Thanks Rockler for letting bombard your store 😂
Really well done competitions and chosed good questions. It was fun to watch, without any awkwardness or humiliating moments. I think everyone had some fun to participate to have change to win something.
Lord I wish Rob Cosman was walking around happen stance. And during the pocket holes for drawers he pushed everything off. Pulled his own dovetail saw out and busted the whole drawer out in less than 10 minutes. Like a legend.
To be picky, the USA uses the U.S.Customary System, not the Imperial System. They’re close, but the units of volume of Imperial and U.S. Customary are different
I love that somebody knows this! When I was a kid, we were taught "Standard" vs. "Metric." I didn't learn the term "Imperial" until adulthood; but it seems obvious to me that it refers to the units of the British "Empire," which used inches, feet, miles, etc. before going Metric (if I'm not mistaken).
@@jtotheb-ip2hh The Brits use a mixture of metric and imperial. Imperial pints (different from U.S. pints) are used for drinks, and road signs are in MPH.
That's a good point I doubt most know. I'm in Canada and we use both Imperial and Metric, and hate that their volume measures aren't the same. A US gallon is 1/5th smaller than an Imperial gallon. That cascades down to baking....when I'm following a recipe, if it's a US cookbook, I have to convert every measure to match all my Imperial measuring cups/tsp/tbsp
OMG this is so entertaining! I don't usually like this kind of content but your energy and the editing was everything! Maybe you could hold another challenge but with famous makers who all compete for items or money to go to a charity they've chosen and are competing on the behalf of, or a selection of their followers
Fun video, Jon. Did someone already win the prize for pointing out that those are flat blade drive screws, not simply “flat head” screws? Congrats to the winners and Izzy is the man! Scott
Yep you lost that one. When I told friends before filming about the “twist” very few people knew what a slot drive was. So we made it as easy to understand as possible
That looked like a lot of fun Jon, for you and the people who were involved. Great job and awesome idea! I don't think I could pull something like that off! The extreme introvert in me would definitely take over!
Haha! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! It made me laugh out loud a lot 😂 such fun! Well done to everyone and thanks for sharing. You don’t fancy a long haul trip to Glasgow 🏴 do ya? 🤣
Where should we go next? Who else wants a NEW Harvey Table Saw??
😳
Wherever you go, let us know in advance so we have a shot.
It looked like so much fun!
Pick somewhere more rural.
Come to Orlando, Florida! Lots of people visit the Rockler in Altamonte Springs, would make for a good video.
would love to try this challenge. come to Los Angeles please
I didn't notice the "microphone" wasn't a microphone through the whole video. Brilliant.
Thanks for watching
same here. 😂
Wait, what? I have to go back and see. Lol
@@jaredvandykeit’s a craftsman screwdriver with a wind screen from a mic on top
@@jsjohnst I so missed it but went back 😂😂😂 I couldn’t believe I missed that.
I wouldn't lie. This was entertaining and educational. It's like the theory of woodworking.
"My mama didn't raise no foolish children and I wasn't adopted".
What an absolute legend.
The flathead challenge at the end!!!! This was flat out an evil mastermind plot twist if i've ever seen one!!!!
I have flathead screws so much 😂
@@ResetmeTomu How many do you have?
Should have given them a really undersized bit to drive them
@@JosefdeJoanelli you are diabolical 😂😂
Yeah, they are the worst. I'm so spoiled by torx at this point, I'm regularly thinking "ugh, philipps head?"
This was great. Very funny and relatable. You should definitely do this again if possible. Love Izzy being there and just destroying those nails. The microphone/ screwdriver bit was hysterical

I’m surprised at the negative comments, this was really fun and I’d love to see more things like this
Thank you!
We need more of this! So much fun to watch
he can put the saw in my workshop and come use it when he needs it!!
Super fun video! From the questions, the challenges and epic slotted screw finale!! And I guess I'll give extra points for the screwdriver microphone!!
Killing it with the subtle puns!
The mic drop at the end was amazing. Lol totally didn't realize it was fake the whole time.
To be fair, when the old guy was young and of working age, the 2x4 WAS 1.75x3.75...
I hit that yesterday. “Ok just got to notch this shelf around that 2-by, so I’ll just shave off 1.5x3.5…. Why doesn’t it fit?”
2 by 4 is 45×95 mm now in europe.
I thought that too, but he didn't say 3.75", he said 2.75".
@@KindredBrujah Ah! Thank you.
The 2X4s in my home are
2” X 4”
i love my Sawstop PCS but that harveytable saw looks really slick.
Loved this one. And I couldn’t help but think of that scene in Star Wars where Yoda is fighting all crazy out of no where. Izzy comes in all humble and unassuming and then destroys the competition haha.
If I lost a Harvey table saw on rock/paper/scissors I’d forever be mad at myself 😂
Yeah that was tough
This was far too entertaining 😂I would of failed the second you mentioned "pocket holes" - I have some sort of natural aversion to competency at drilling them haha.
Glad you enjoyed!
Then they say Mr Beast is the king of game shows 😂 well done! Fun challenge

For those not savvy to screw nomenclature those are “slotted pan-head sheet metal tapping screws.”

@@anttihuttula6547 LOL, I love how sarcasm is just COMPLETELY lost on some people.
Too competent if you managed to get half of these questions right.
1. I didn't even notice the "microphone" until you said something. 😂
2. I wish we had someone doing fun stuff like this in Dayton or Cincinnati.
metric and american should be an accepted answer...🤣

Except it’s metric and freedom fractions! USA! USA!

@@nicholasroy9125 my arbitrary system of measurement is better than your arbitrary system of measurement!!!
This was awesome and a lot of fun, ESPECIALLY seeing Izzy Swan come in as the ringer!
Loveland, Colorado welcomes your challenges............. I'd bury those nails in one hit too especially if i can use my Stilleto framing hammer.
When I saw Izzy Swan walk up.... I was like 'Hell nah' lol. ....nobody is going to win
I'd have had one look at the man and forfeit
That was fun to watch. I'm sure there was much more to it than what we saw in the video.
This is a great twist to your normal content! I'm not going to lie, though. I'd have been reaching for one of those hammers for that flathead challenge. Never said anything about having to drive them with the drill!

Brilliantly funny AND informative. You had me going all the way with the microphone / screwdriver 😅
And the nominee for the Best Educational Comedy is Lincoln St Woodworks. Well done.
I'm actually impressed that all people mentioned metric first when it comes to measurement systems.
That was great!! I didn't have the pressure of the camera and I still didn't know several of those answers. Great job!
This was the best ever!
And I loved the ending!!! What a hoot!
This was a good one Lincoln! All of yours are good, but this one was very entertaining. You have a future ahead of you for this type of work!

This whole thing was pretty hectic, but still a pretty fun video. If you showed up at my Rockler I'd just hide from you though.
Best entertainment I've watched in quite some time.
Good to hear
American should have been an accepted answer. The US doesn’t use Imperial anymore (since 1832), officially it uses US Customary system of units.
I would have loved to challenge Izzy Swan, wouldn't care if I won, just meeting him would be a prize. You're pretty cool too, Jon.
That was awesome!
Glad you liked it!
Love this video. Different in a very good way.

I'm really impressed with the new Harvey table saw! They have stepped up their game! I own the model before gan 2, really is awesome 😎👍🎉
They are doing some impressive stuff
I probably would have failed every single one of these challenges but come to our Rockler store in Richmond so we can find out
