    Sweet handle and love the new colorful background, too!

    I've had my foredom for about 20 years, and love it. My wife does glass engraving, and a dremel was never really much of an option. We've basically rebuilt the thing a couple of times, but that's one of the great things about foredom. Parts are available, and are super reasonably priced.
    Keep up the great work!

Can't beat that sander for the price and yes you can never have enough clamps. Those are the best bang for your buck clamps out there. I have a ton of them. Keep the videos comming and thanks for making them, you are a true craftsman.

    This video got me thinking about the hammers I played with in my dad's shop growing up. There were about four with their own personalities. I remember them in a way I do not remember other tools. You made a memorable hammer. I hope its ugliness endures both in use and in memory.

    David. Love the editing and general style of the video. The handle is not something I’d put on my hammers, nor are the aesthetics of your shop what I’d choose for mine; but that all being the case, I like what I like and you like what you like and that’s great we all can be different. I love the composition of the video and if you look at you video as the end project, I think it’s wonderful.

    I don't think it's ugly at all - the dowel pattern matches the circle design on your work surface, and the colours go well together. I'm also really enjoying the texturing you've started doing on some of your projects, it's making me want to get the Dremel out! I have to say though... I can't be the only one wondering how the original handle got broken!

    Never burn out a handle. Things like hammers and axes are hardened so you will lose the temper by throwing them in a fire.

    • @andyboybennett
      @andyboybennett 3 роки тому

      Really? A wood fire? So why don't we use wood fires to temper or harden the tools in the first place? Why do we have to put them in a forge, and not just in a wood fire?

    • @gregnoname3707
      @gregnoname3707 3 роки тому

      There are plenty of reasons to use coal over wood as a fuel source in a forge. None of those reason are because a wood fire isn’t capable of getting hot enough. Following your logic you could replace the word wood with coal and say the same thing in comparison to propane.

  • @Gantorin
    @Gantorin 3 роки тому

    I use dremels all the time, but the limit in bit size has me curious. My dremel is my right hand man of tools. I have the hand grip and the pen grip attachment I have wanted for 20 years for easier glass etching. I would be interested in a rotatry tool comparison video, or just an over view to what you switched to if you make that video.

    Like the idea, but as an industrial designer i think you weakened the handle alot by drilling into it almost through to the edges and then doweling it up.

    This would have been a good opportunity to test the belief that wood glue bonds stronger than the original wood. You could have glued it back together like you would any other two pieces of wood. Then put it back into normal service and monitor how it holds up to regular use. A hammer handle should have to endure much more stress than any normal wood join.
