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.
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!
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
I'm glad to find another woodworker who is creating unique items. I loved your approach to the parallelogram structure. Very interesting. More please.....
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Brilliant, are you familiar with some other machine, or principals that influenced your design? I'd like to build this, but without plans, any influencial reference material would be great, specifically for sizing, offsets, dimensions, etc. thank you for sharing, very impressive
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!
Man, I'm completely dizzy! You're a genius, congratulations! I'd like to see other jobs of you! Do you have another mechanisms? You have now a brazilian fan. Can you teach me more? My regards...
Your a genius you know! Whatever it is you make, it's obvious a lot of prep has gone into it. Do you use Sketch up for your builds or another type of program? Or do you do this on the "fly",(off the top of your head as you go). Thanks for another interesting video and your hard work that goes into it. ~Dolly
For this particular project it was an old fashioned pencil+paper sketch. When it comes to more complex designs that require software, I'm a big fan of Fusion 360. Personally, Sketch Up isn't my favorite slice of cake - although I know a lot of people that swear by it.
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 👍
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 !!!

+Richard Freeze - Thank you, Richard.
8 years after this was posted and i now have useful knowledge to build a workbench vise. Good stuff.
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.
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 😁

Thank you so much!
You are a huge woodworking nerd. Ingenious and very tidy.
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
That circle cutting jig is brilliant, simple and effective!
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.
Excellent! I love the way you broke down the action into separate steps which each required a solution. Well done and very entertaining. Scott
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.
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.
I've only just started taking an interest in woodwork and at this point its just watching loads of videos on UA-cam.

Thanks Darren!
Very good, a logical approach to solving a problem. I really enjoy your videos. You are a gifted individual with a very good mind.
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
+John Bouttell - I'm so glad you like it! Thanks, John :)
I'm glad to find another woodworker who is creating unique items. I loved your approach to the parallelogram structure. Very interesting. More please.....
Perhaps the best way I've seen to make a wooden nut so far!
A genius without money cap. This channel will be awesome!
Young man, you're a phenomenal thinker. I see rocket science in your future. Good work.
Fascinating! You now have a new subscriber and fan. First, Matthias, Heisz, Izzy, et al, and now, you.
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.
Superb video, well explained and demonstrated. I am sure John appreciated your comments.
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!
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.
Just passed across your channel. Mate your an absolute genius, very smart stuff from someone quite young. Excellent.
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!

Clever idea, and a slick presentation too.
+Robert Webster - I try, thank you! :)
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!
Spectacular! Simply spectacular. You're one incredibly creative young man! I certainly look forward to your posts. Thank you for sharing!
This is a GREAT idea, and a great video.

+MRrwmac - Hmm... I like that!
Very nice indeed my friend.
I can see you paid attention in school...
Thanks for sharing your talent.
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
What an impressive project. Congratulations.
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!!!!
Awesome router jig, thanks for sharing!
Nice video. Well presented, clear and concise.
Excellent presentation. Many thanks.

+Offshoreorganbuilder - That's the coolest idea I've heard so far! Thanks for the comment!
Very clever. How did you get so smart and articulate? Great video.
In a word: fantastic! In three words: You're genius! ... From Belgium fench speaking.
I am impressed. Great work and video editing. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely awesome job. Very creative method.
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.
clever solution! I would never came out with so good and simple method!
Very clever project. Fun to watch and as usual, excellent presentation. I look forward to your future posts.
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.

شكراً لك أيها الشاب الراقي أنك علمتني أتمنى لك المزيد من التوفيق والإبداع
Great editing and very creative ideas!
+trigger finger - Thank you, thank you!
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!
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.
Wow. Simple AND clever.
You are nothing short of amazing .
Fantastic, you did a great job on the project and the demonstration.
great video, brilliantly creative. Plus a very clear and informative presentation
+simon hawkins - Thank you!
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 :)
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 !
You have a likeable demeanour.Awesome vid
Absolutely fantastic. What an engineering marvel. I am way more than impressed with your skills and creativity. Greetings from Maine.
I enjoyed watching this. Good job! Thank you for producing and sharing this video.
I love when a youngster reminds me how not smart I am. great work
I love the thought process. Thank you!
welcome to the wood working community !
This is a awesome set-up, really like this.
Brilliant, are you familiar with some other machine, or principals that influenced your design? I'd like to build this, but without plans, any influencial reference material would be great, specifically for sizing, offsets, dimensions, etc. thank you for sharing, very impressive
Holy crap. That was Awesome. Great job. Thanks for the video.
Wow! (hang on a second - lemmee pick my jaw up off the floor....) This thing is incredible! So, do you ever get tired of being so brilliant?
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!
Man, I'm completely dizzy! You're a genius, congratulations! I'd like to see other jobs of you! Do you have another mechanisms? You have now a brazilian fan. Can you teach me more? My regards...
This was such a great and thorough video
Um... wow! Just wow!!
Very impressive.
+Awesome Wood Things - Thanks Matt!
You sir are a renaissance man!
You are very gifted. Nice job!
Me agradó mucho su video, pregunta ¿podría compartirme como hace el tornillo para este tipo de rosca? Muchas gracias y saludos.
very smart. Nothing will be difficult if you can create stuffs like that :)
My new favorite subscription. You are truly amazing!
great hinge set up
Just found you in last few days. Great work, also you explain things so well. I hope to follow you for a long time. John in Pensacola
You are truly a genius amazing videos also very cool workshop
That is super cool, well done.
Holy cow that Is so awesome and clever!!!! That's flipping awesome!
+The Russian Woodworker - Thanks Anthony :)
Dude, this is the most awesome Jig of all time. Moxon vise. Make one.
You are amazing, sir! Great work!
Wow that was so cool!!
+Cosmas B - Thanks Cosmas!
Your a genius you know! Whatever it is you make, it's obvious a lot of prep has gone into it. Do you use Sketch up for your builds or another type of program? Or do you do this on the "fly",(off the top of your head as you go). Thanks for another interesting video and your hard work that goes into it.

that was very creative! i love the way you designed a simple and effective machine... nice stuff!!
+radiowallofsound - Thank you :) I love building machines!
This is such a great video, your explanations are so clear! Keep up!
you could use that nut and threaded dowel for a veneer press
Impressive dude! Keep it up.... When are we getting the shop tour??
Nice one! Like the edit on this video.
I like to see you making a wooden vice for the MFT with this project.
Thanks for sharing.
+Woodkrafts FWI - Thanks! Glad you like the new editing style.
Hey, when I grow up, I want to be like you ... great job
Semper Fi
Very cool, great idea. This would work great with a cordless router.
you are sponsored by festol right love those tools combine so well with my track car lol
Very nice invention. You for sure are very intelligent... Very jealous of your festools! LOL! Subscribed!
You can use that for making bench clamps. Saw your video on the thread jig too.
As always great entertaining videos. Very clever. Nice one.
Amazing - I love your work!
+harriscreekcentral - 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
so to make a nut with a different thread, i would need to make gears specifically for that size? What size thread is the nut you made in the video?
