What a pleasure it is to watch your videos, Kriss! You are quite gifted with the ability to visualize complex three-dimensional motions and then design a clever mechanism to replicate that motion. It is indeed encouraging to see a young person with such problem solving abilities who can also effectively construct and present his ideas so clearly. Congratulations to you but also to your parents who nurtured your curiosity and interests in such a way that enables you to realize your ambitions. I know they must be very proud of you. Keep up the great work.
What makes my heart burn as a skilled craftsman, that a young guy like you use his hands to create wonderful things out of wood...and not virtual shit on a smartphone...go ahead this way...pleeease 😁 Greetings from Germany...
I'm just going to sit here, all nice and quiet like, just because I'm too awed by this creation. I find it inspiring to see someone coming up with simple solutions to complex problems, but especially so by someone so young. Subscribed. Hope to see more great creations from you!
Nice work! The wooden nuts & bolts would make a cool toy for young boys. They may also be used as functional as well as accents for some patio or outdoor furniture. You could create threaded holes in some shelves and use the threaded dowels and nuts to some interesting shelving units, entertainment system racks, etc.
You are a genius. I immediately thought that the bolt and nut would be great for my grandson. It would teach him some basic mechanics. Might be next Xmas before I get your jigs made.
Excellent presentation. Many thanks. In my work, we use wooden columns, screwed into wooden boards as a support for the pipe-racks. These are called 'rack pillars. In days, the rack pillars are often plastic (and they work very well, along with their plastic nuts which hold down the rackboards) but I could certainly see a use for this idea to make a strong, removable 'tenon' joint.
I'm glad to find another woodworker who is creating unique items. I loved your approach to the parallelogram structure. Very interesting. More please.....
Scale it up a bit and you can make boxes with screw-on lids. This is usually done with a tool called a chaser on a wood lathe, which takes some practice. Another standard application for a wood thread is a nutcracker. Cork screw also comes to mind.
This is a GREAT idea, and a great video. You could use 4 screws, one in each corner, instead of hinges, and link them with a belt or a wire. They would all move together.
I don't know about the rest of you're audience, but you made me feel stupid thru your BRILLIANCE!! I've now subscribed to your channel something I've never done in the past... What can I say.....Fantastic!!!!
This is really an excellent effort! Not just the technique and results - but the video is really a pleasure to watch. Very well done! Aspiring UA-cam video makers with shaky cameras, lousy lighting, wasted or protracted footage and lousy narrative could learn a *lot* from watching your video! Good work!
Dear Kriss Thanks for making such a good video. I would never have been able to work out how to make a wooden hex nut. Your video is so clear, it all now seems straight forward. Best wishes, John in the Peak District
You asked for ideas on what to do with these wooden nuts and bolts... OK... Kids would LOVE these! They would be good tactile learning tools and FUN! These could be used for knock-down children's toys and furniture. Large sizes and soft wooden edges make for beautiful educational "manipulative" toys. For that matter, these could be valuable in adult furniture, jigs, fixtures, shop aids, benches, low cost clamps, vices and clamping jigs. And that's just for starters! BTW, I must say it again... you're frickin' brilliant!
I've only just started taking an interest in woodwork and at this point its just watching loads of videos on UA-cam. I've seen a lot in the past few weeks, lots of Matthias Wandel, Marc Spagnuolo and of course Norm and many others. Your videos really are fantastic and are up there with some of the best I've watched. Please do more of them!!! One more sub for you!
+FastEasySmartTOOLThat is also the first recommendation I thought of. Now that you have you jig completed you could sell a variety of kids toys. As a parent who lives in the US I will say I appreciate kids toys made in the USA. Too many kids toys out there with suspect materials/fillers.You did a great job!! Keep up the impressive creations.
great job. im in the theatrical stage production industry and i love what you did here. also great choice in equipment. festool is the best stuff on earth
Absolutely amazing innovation! I see where John liked it and know Izzy would also since it involves gears and is drill powered. Make a shop cabinet that is put together with the wooden nuts and bolts but be sure to keep them visible!
Use 3 small gears around your big gear, and an fixed bolt in your baseplate. Place a fixed nut in the small gears, and you've got a stable rising upper platform with more travel. No need for hinges. Keep up the good work 👍
You so amaze me! I love watching your videos. You make me smile with your refreshing attitude and the joy you express in your work. Keep it up we all need your kind of entertainment and God knows we need to all smile with you.
Very nice work ! Use the nut and bolts to join sections of a large work bench together, makes it possible to change, or take them apart for moving to a woodworking show.
That is pretty cool! Just a thought about stability with the weight of the router on there - bolts at each corner, coupled to the drive gear bolt with a piece of bike chain or similar to keep the top plate rising evenly. They could be driven off the large gear too, but that might be far too much friction. Excited to see what you come up with next!
Hi, You are a very clever maybe even close to a genius! I love watching the apparently impossible and this and any screw cut in wood come close to that. The video is extremely watchable thank you.
Bravo sir! Impressive design. But, the ability to mass produce wood nuts and screws? A novelty? Or, children's toys! That's it! Make a profit while teaching children the joy of building things! Fun!
If you wanted to put great pressure on the threads Search "thread angle for wood" as from what I've read a square thread is not the best and is actually prone to chipping off, 90 degrees is best. (Yes a 90 degree thread and a Square thread are different.) A vice thread of about 2 inch diameter is best with 2 to 4 threads per inch. Thanks for showing the Sarrus Linkage. Great video.
That was nothing short of awesome! VERY neat way to cut the nut :)
i think you just found your competitive match! looks exciting!
+John Heisz - Glad you like it! :)
+John Heisz I see you making one of these.
Ok, I'm seriously impressed, well done!
Now I see why John, or everyone else for that matter, seem to have such a hard time with the nuts. Wow, that was awesomely hard, and way Cool, thx !!!
What a pleasure it is to watch your videos, Kriss! You are quite gifted with the ability to visualize complex three-dimensional motions and then design a clever mechanism to replicate that motion.

+Richard Freeze - Thank you, Richard.
8 years after this was posted and i now have useful knowledge to build a workbench vise. Good stuff.
What makes my heart burn as a skilled craftsman, that a young guy like you use his hands to create wonderful things out of wood...and not virtual shit on a smartphone...go ahead this way...pleeease 😁
Greetings from Germany...
You're way too genius for someone of your age! Impressive!
+Andrea Arzensek I agree, he's genius...
Andrea Arzensek
I know nothing at his age....wow
Absolutely love it!! You and Matthias Wandel need to open a crazy wooden gear based jig museum. Brilliant stuff!!
+Robertlavigne1 - Haha, I would like that. Thanks :)
+Robertlavigne1 I'd say he's already giving Mathias, John, and Izzy a run for their money on ingenuity.
I'm just going to sit here, all nice and quiet like, just because I'm too awed by this creation. I find it inspiring to see someone coming up with simple solutions to complex problems, but especially so by someone so young. Subscribed. Hope to see more great creations from you!
Thank you so much!
welcome to the wood working community !
You are a huge woodworking nerd. Ingenious and very tidy.
Nice work! The wooden nuts & bolts would make a cool toy for young boys. They may also be used as functional as well as accents for some patio or outdoor furniture. You could create threaded holes in some shelves and use the threaded dowels and nuts to some interesting shelving units, entertainment system racks, etc.
You sir are a renaissance man!
That circle cutting jig is brilliant, simple and effective!
This young guy is quite a genius . He knows his stuff .
Excellent! I love the way you broke down the action into separate steps which each required a solution. Well done and very entertaining. Scott
Perhaps the best way I've seen to make a wooden nut so far!
you are a genius. You method for wooden nut and threaded rod are so far the best I have seen. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Clever idea, and a slick presentation too.
+Robert Webster - I try, thank you! :)
Wow. Simple AND clever.
You are a genius. I immediately thought that the bolt and nut would be great for my grandson. It would teach him some basic mechanics. Might be next Xmas before I get your jigs made.
Young man, you're a phenomenal thinker. I see rocket science in your future. Good work.
Just amazing. Those hex nuts and bolts could be the basis of a wooden style mecano set for younger kids.
+pippaknuckle - OMG, yes! I would have loved that when I was younger.
A genius without money cap. This channel will be awesome!
In a word: fantastic! In three words: You're genius! ... From Belgium fench speaking.
You are great, greetings from Polish
+Sławomir Wille - Hey there. Thanks! I was born in Bulgaria and when I fly back I sometimes have a stopover in Warsaw :)
Excellent presentation. Many thanks.

+Offshoreorganbuilder - That's the coolest idea I've heard so far! Thanks for the comment!
Very good, a logical approach to solving a problem. I really enjoy your videos. You are a gifted individual with a very good mind.
Just passed across your channel. Mate your an absolute genius, very smart stuff from someone quite young. Excellent.
شكراً لك أيها الشاب الراقي أنك علمتني أتمنى لك المزيد من التوفيق والإبداع

Cork screw also comes to mind.
That is outrageously clever! While I can't think of a functional use, I know that my youngest child would love playing with them. Great video!
What a clever build. Very impressive. I see some great possibilities. A wooden vise like John Heisz's comes to mind as a possible build.
Um... wow! Just wow!!
Very impressive.
+Awesome Wood Things - Thanks Matt!
Superb video, well explained and demonstrated. I am sure John appreciated your comments.
What an impressive project. Congratulations.
This is a GREAT idea, and a great video.
You could use 4 screws, one in each corner, instead of hinges, and link them with a belt or a wire. They would all move together.

+Learner-Learns - Those are awesome ideas. Thanks!
You are nothing short of amazing .
old blast from the past!!!
Fascinating! You now have a new subscriber and fan. First, Matthias, Heisz, Izzy, et al, and now, you.
I've only just started taking an interest in woodwork and at this point its just watching loads of videos on UA-cam.

Your videos really are fantastic and are up there with some of the best I've watched. Please do more of them!!! One more sub for you!
Thanks Darren!
I love when a youngster reminds me how not smart I am. great work
Awesome build. I could see some kids toys from that.
+Howard Springsteen - Haha! Yeah, that's an option.
+FastEasySmartTOOLThat is also the first recommendation I thought of. Now that you have you jig completed you could sell a variety of kids toys. As a parent who lives in the US I will say I appreciate kids toys made in the USA. Too many kids toys out there with suspect materials/fillers.You did a great job!! Keep up the impressive creations.
Nice video. Well presented, clear and concise.
You have a likeable demeanour.Awesome vid
Awesome router jig, thanks for sharing!
great job. im in the theatrical stage production industry and i love what you did here. also great choice in equipment. festool is the best stuff on earth

+MRrwmac - Hmm... I like that!
This is a awesome set-up, really like this.
I love the thought process. Thank you!
Use 3 small gears around your big gear, and an fixed bolt in your baseplate. Place a fixed nut in the small gears, and you've got a stable rising upper platform with more travel. No need for hinges. Keep up the good work 👍
Great idea
Very nice indeed my friend.
I can see you paid attention in school...
Thanks for sharing your talent.
Absolutely awesome job. Very creative method.
Very clever. How did you get so smart and articulate? Great video.
Wow. Leonardo DaVinci with a router. Amazing!
You so amaze me! I love watching your videos. You make me smile with your refreshing attitude and the joy you express in your work. Keep it up we all need your kind of entertainment and God knows we need to all smile with you.
+Stacy Boncheff - Smiling is good. Thanks!
Great! Possible use: adjustable seat for shop stool.
You are very gifted. Nice job!
You could use this nut to make a ....
... nutcracker
Well, more seriously, it is a very nice video, and a beautiful way to make this nut.
Very nice work ! Use the nut and bolts to join sections of a large work bench together, makes it possible to change, or take them apart for moving to a woodworking show.
I am impressed. Great work and video editing. Thanks for sharing.
Dude, this is the most awesome Jig of all time. Moxon vise. Make one.
wow wow I enjoyed watching your video,You made it look so easy doing it,thanks a lot,you inspired me on doing wood working again !
That is pretty cool! Just a thought about stability with the weight of the router on there - bolts at each corner, coupled to the drive gear bolt with a piece of bike chain or similar to keep the top plate rising evenly. They could be driven off the large gear too, but that might be far too much friction.
Excited to see what you come up with next!
clever solution! I would never came out with so good and simple method!
Wow! Very well done.
+deounb - Thank you!
Spectacular! Simply spectacular. You're one incredibly creative young man! I certainly look forward to your posts. Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations! amazing job! Thanks
very smart. Nothing will be difficult if you can create stuffs like that :)
You are truly a genius amazing videos also very cool workshop
This was such a great and thorough video
Very cool, great idea. This would work great with a cordless router.
That is super cool, well done.
Just brilliant.Well done.
Hi,
You are a very clever maybe even close to a genius! I love watching the apparently impossible and this and any screw cut in wood come close to that. The video is extremely watchable thank you.
Great editing and very creative ideas!
+trigger finger - Thank you, thank you!
great hinge set up
Fantastic, you did a great job on the project and the demonstration.
GREAT WORK!
Holy cow that Is so awesome and clever!!!! That's flipping awesome!
+The Russian Woodworker - Thanks Anthony :)
This is fantastic! Looking forward to your next videos!
Wow that was so cool!!
+Cosmas B - Thanks Cosmas!
Wow! This is phenomenal! I was going to buy a tap and die set to make a reproduction embroidery frame, but this is so much more practical!
Bravo sir! Impressive design. But, the ability to mass produce wood nuts and screws? A novelty? Or, children's toys! That's it! Make a profit while teaching children the joy of building things! Fun!
You can use this invention for fix the floor with no nails and then grinding without problem of ruin you"re grinding machine.Good work.
Ingenious!
Genius, just a genius
Ingenious! nice job
Im jelly of your quality tool collection, dang.
Incredible young man! So tell me, Has NASA come knocking on your door yet? They could use someone like you. Really enjoy your stuff.
My new favorite subscription. You are truly amazing!
damn. The rising platform itself..
You’re a genius mate
If you wanted to put great pressure on the threads Search "thread angle for wood" as from what I've read a square thread is not the best and is actually prone to chipping off, 90 degrees is best.

+deanznz - Good tip, thanks!
Very good. I have done that with my CNC machine.
+Jim Steinbrecher - Thanks Jim! I would use a CNC too if I owned one - certainly less hassle than this method :)
That's impressive!
