I like your videos. If there’s one thing I can suggest…your voice sounds strained as though you’re trying to keep it raised throughout the video. There are a couple of times when it’s not strained and we can hear the true timber of your voice. I would suggest that you increase your volume diaphragmatically. Focus on maintaining the bass and timber of your voice while speaking louder, almost as if you’re separating your voice from your volume. Start in small volume increases. Don’t let your voice get higher, only louder. You’ll get it in no time. Again, great vids. I bought the shelf jig because of your last video and just love it. Thank you.
I just ordered the 32" and 20" T-squares. I have been so impressed with the quality and pre, I no longer yurn to own Woodpecker tools, lol. The guts who work with me are very happy with the precision of the tools. And in my business, it sets the quality of the items we make above the rest. Thank you for the review and entertainment. Its just what I needed to watch on my coffee break!
Well, I don't put tools that I don't think are good quality on this channel, so I guess they did by making something that actually works! :) Thanks for watching!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Thanks for intro'ing me to Goingmake. I typically hate cheap chinese knockoffs. It's stolen IP and a complete knockoff down to the color. But GoingMake seems a bit more innovative. They aren't just copying they're adding little tweaks & innovations. Anyone that's ever had to hold on to the right angle clamp while juggling anchors that weren't quite wide enough to clamp knows the value of those lips. And the quality seems like it's much better than the cheap knockoffs.
@@hansangb Been really pleased with their tools so far. Sounds like they are trying to develop some new ones this summer too. I hope to get my hands on some as soon as they come out to give them a test run. Really like their T squares. Those are the ones I use almost exclusively now.
The T-squares look wonderful, and if it ever comes back in stock I'm seriously considering that honing guide. Thanks for the update and I hope your T-day was wonderful.
Thanks for the reviews. I bought the T square a couple of weeks ago and it's already become a go-to. Just ordered the bench dogs. Contemplating the corner squares.
That's great to hear BobHill! This is really one of those brands that I've been tremendously impressed with. Similar to woodraphic. Some really high quality tools coming out of this company so far. We will see if they can keep it up!
Thanks for the GoingMake review. Very timely! I have many Woodpeckers products and think they are great. The one item I currently need is the 32" T-Square and the Woodpeckers version is on sale but even with the $50 off (including shipping) the total of my order was going to be way over 2x as much as the GoingMake. So, I'm ordering GoingMake for the first time! My toy budget couldn't justify the $60 vs. $156. Thanks again for the video!
My pleasure loueubank! I don’t think you will disappointed. I have both and I really don’t see any difference in the construction and accuracy of the tool. Best of luck to you and I hope it works out for you!
Thank for the video. I'm definately going to to try a couple of those tools. GoingMake sounds a whole lot better than GoingBroke...I mean Woodpeckers!! When you said bench dog, I thought you meant your new puppy!! Blessings!!!

Well, based on your video I bought the shelf guide system. Thanks for putting this up. I have the 24" T Square on my wish list. If the shelf guide works out I will likely get the T.
No problems so far. I have only used them in a couple of projects so far and had no issues. Both for scribing and squaring. Time will tell, but no issues so far! Wish I could give you a better answer than that!
I was completely surprised by them. Probably would have started with them on the 32'' before I got the woodpeckers. They seem to be just as good! Thanks so much for commenting and watching W9jim!
The ultimate T-Square test is to draw a line, and then turn the T-Square 180 degrees and draw a second line over the first. Any discrepancy will be doubled, making it easy to see any bowing of the T-Square. I would like to see those results.
FYI, striking a line on both sides of the t-square does NOT test for square. It tests that both sides are parallel. If the handle is cocked a degree or two then it won't show up with the test you did. To over exaggerate this, think of striking a line from the outside edge and the inside edge of the 45 degree side of a speed square. The lines would be identical, but definitely NOT square. Testing that both sides is still a useful test of accuracy, though. To test for square you would need to either flip the t-square over and strike a line or strike a line from the other end of the board (after verifying that both sides of the board are parallel).
You're right, but in this case he'd already tested one side for square by testing against the Woodpecker square. Testing that the other side was parallel then meant that both sides were square.
I hear you. I agree with you. Thank you so much for sharing this and I will try to incorporate some of these tests. In future videos. It is a little difficult to test square on the t-square without being able to easily flip it over. Thanks again for sharing!
You would not believe the amount of times I have seen the title of this video (or some derivation). Usually from some "influencer" with little to no credibility. Then to see that "AMAZING" brand disappear never to be heard from again. Anyone taking bets?
As another commenter mentioned, the honing guide lacks the positive stop of the red one from Banggood that you reviewed, so I'm not sure why this one would be better. And I gather than the corner squares only work on the inside of a corner, unlike the other ones you pictured? So this would be a trade-off: you gain the ability to clamp at 45%, but lose the ability to clamp on the outside.
Both excellent points! Thank you so much for sharing. I had completely forgotten about that positive stop on the other honing guides. Thank you for reminding me. You are indeed correct with the corner squares as well. They would be limited to inside corners. That being said, I honestly can’t remember the last time I’ve used one of the L squares on the outside. Probably need to do that more often, just to solidify my squareness on my corners. Excellent points once again!
I have every single goingmake tool. They all are built well. Only issue is that I have 2 of the rulers that do not sit flat. They have a bow in the middle. They are square but have about an 1/8 bow in the middle. Sent back for replacement through Amazon. Same issue.
Thank you so much for sharing this AAguilar74! Love hearing feedback of people who have actually used the tools and have expereince with them. I'm going to keep an eye out for that, thank you so much for sharing and watching!
I am surprised that most everyone says the 45 for flag displays etc. But what about corner cabinets, 8 sided mirror or picture frames, planter boxes, bird house or dog house roofs. Out door octagonal table tops, as well as patio decking and railings.
Dang Toddmaki! What great ideas, thank you so much for sharing all of these, there are some that I haven't even thought of (and either had any of the other viewers!). Thanks so much for sharing and waching!
I bought these as you recommended. I bought the 12-inch, 24-inch, and 32-inch, unfortunately, the 24-inch was not square and the 32-inch had the guide pins holes drilled 90 degrees out of place. Disappointing that 2 out of the 3 were defective! oh well, that's how it goes with cheap tools.
Really? That’s very surprising. Thank you so much from sharing this. I hope you returned them immediately. I like to hear everyone’s experience good and bad. Sorry you had so much trouble with them. I honestly wish I would have gotten the defective ones instead of you so that I could have shown that. Thanks again for sharing.
FlynnDogg! My dude is killin' it with the tool reviews. I am extremely thankful that you take the time to find really good tools for those of us that can't afford a collection of Woodpecker gear. I know you personally don't need alternative tools and you do it for us! FlynnDogg is the BIG-DOG looking out for the community. I follow a ton of woodworkers and NOBODY is doing it like FlynnDogg. He has an alternative for just about every red tool I can think of that most of us would use. I really want to try out some of those T-squares. I've always wanted the red brand but holy cow! I need a financing plan just to get a tiny L shaped square 😂 I also want an honing guide. I checked Woodpeckers and I THINK they brought back the original model the Bangood version is based on but it's much more costly. The only thing I don't like about The Goingmake guide is it doest have a fixed positive stop for the chisel blade. The line leaves room for variances and error. The degree doesn't have to be spot on but users (I mean me lol) might set up the chisel on the line, a little past the line or a little before. That changes the grind angle each time. With the red models the blade bumps up against a solid stop duplicating the angle every time. The other tools you showed all look really cool! I don't know what I would do with a 45 degree clamp either but I can say I can do it would be reason enough 👍 Appreciate you making Saturday mornings awesome! Keep it going!
I agree bout the lack of the fixed positive stop. Also, although the red one only has one pair of wheels, they can still be swapped over to allow for both narrow (chisel) and wide (plane) blades, so it's not clear that these offer any advantage over the red one.
Thank you so much Sean for you kind words! I really appreciate it and thank you so much. You know, I actually forgot about that positive stop on the other honing guides. Excellent point. That is a feature I guess Goingmake doesn’t have and could definitely stand to add! Excellent point! Love your enthusiasm, and thank you so much again!
Unfortunately I don't believe so, That would be an excellent addition for them. I do know they are working on a pocket hole jig, so I will be interested to see how that turns out.
Excellent idea bgreg with the flag display box! I got it off of amazon. There should be a link in the description if you want to check it out. Thank you so much for watching and your idea with the flag box!
Dogg, man love Reno 911. We think you have hit the lottery. Did you buy these tools with money we could have used for a lathe? You had growth? Dogg, man, you used to say that "only 11%" of the people who watch your videos are subscribed. Today, you said, "9%." Are we wrong? I think we pay pretty good attention to what you talk about. We will always be subscribers (unless you blow all your cash on little Chinese tools rather than a Rikon, JET or Powermatic lathe).
Haha! I love that show too! Lot of funny stuff! Yeah it was 11% but since I had a bunch of views on the last few videos the % went down. Excellent question! Didn’t think anyone listens that closely to me! I did a lot of research on lathes yesterday. Also checked those acme lathes as well. I really can’t figure out which one I want. I also need to think about a new belt/spindle sander as I found a mouse nest in it when I was putting things together on mud my shop. Freaked me out and jumped landing the sander on the floor. Wish I would have gotten that on camera!!!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Dogg, man, so many choices we know. Which one (why not all, as you seem to buy multiple tools anyway) to get? The mouse and your reaction would have been epic and probably boosted your viewership. We'll get there. You're too good not to make it. Keep up the great content. You tickle the (turkey) stuffing out of us.
Haha! I think they add little humor. They sometimes take a long time to do, but I think they make the videos a little more fun! Thanks for watching lovablepersona!
Great question. It looks like right now all they have available is the 1/4'' and 5'' jigs available. That would probably be a great add. I actually used this jig this week and worked well but had to use a different size drill bit due to my shelf clips. Worked well even though my drill bit was a little undersized.
@@FlynndoggWoodwork I want to add some 8 mm shelf pin supports to a shelving project. I don’t want to invest in the LR 32 systems from festool or the lee valley shelf pin jig. I have three other shelf pin jigs. But dont have the option to go up higher than 9/32”
I like the tool for sharpening chisels. I have tried free hand sharpening and still haven't gotten the hang of it. Wonder what I can find for the various chisels and gouges for the lathe.
That's a great question Jim! I'm actually going to upgrade my lathe soon and I would like to learn how to sharpen my own lathe tools. I'm sure I'll be digging deep once I get to that point. Gotta get the lathe first though! :)
You can’t ignore tools made in China because they do the exact same thing at less than half the price. I can do without tools made in China and save up for ones that are nice and made in USA. Just two different ways of looking at it. I love your channel and watch every episode. Side note as soon as the paint rubs off you will be buying another measuring tools useless without marks. I guess you could argue that you can buy 3 in some cases for 1 of the other brands. So at that point you would have bought 3 tools spent the same amount and still not had a nice tool in your hands yet.
Very valid point Ivan. Kind like the phrase cry once buy once! I recently just experience that with a router bit that i just bought. I went the cheap route and it is basically useless! I like to buy american when I can, but I'm also frugal enough not to waste money on simple tools. THanks so much for sharing and watchign Ivan!
At 5:00, I think you may have flipped the back camera footage from your phone in editing. I almost bought their T-rulers. I really don't like the "xx INCH" font on them.
Oh man! Good catch, I didn't even realize I did that. I think I filmed this part in portrait mode for some reason and when I was trying to get it for this video I must have inadvertently flipped the image! You have a good eye!!!
Great question, definitely not sponsored. But they did send me the tools for free. I need to do a better job about disclosing those things on my videos. Thank you for asking, I'll continue to improve my transparency.
Nice gear for the money, shame the T squares don't appear to be available in metric versions. Rather tempted by those corner clamps, currently listed at £37.37 here in UK. Love the production style and hilarious cutaways!
I wrote Goingmake the same. They said that it "will be on sale as soon as we can". Now I tried the Veiko and that is good as well. The imperial scale was also what hold me back from the corner clamps.
Thank you so much! I know the cutaways annoy some people, but I think they are kind of fun! Thank you so much for watching. usually it is the other way around! Hard to get imperial and easy to get metric. I know I had a couple of back and forths with them and it sounds like they are increasing their line of availabilty!
I like how you compare these tools again to Woodpeckers. What I don't understand is why you would not compare the measurements or scales of each since it was even brought up in your last review of these tools. So my question to you is are the Goingmake measurements as accurate as the Woodpeckers? and why would you not show this ?
I hear you! This video was already recorded before that discussion. I have not seen anything that raises a red flag with me on any of the measurements so far. These tools are still new to me however so I will have to continue to use them and report back.
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Thanks for your response. I take it from what you are saying you have not seen any difference in the scaled measurements from Goingmake to Woodpeckers ?
@@MrVinced1201 That is correct. I want to work with them for a while and I plan on doing a year review video on a lot of these new tools in well.... I guess about a year from now!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Sounds good I was just wanting to make sure that if you make a measurement, lets say 6" on a Woodpecker tool and you use one of these tools that you were showing in your video that they would read the same. Thanks again for your responses and your videos.
Nice review, I just take issue with your method of measuring the accuracy of the T-Square. I would argue that the lines you drew in the manner you drew them does NOTHING to measure the “squareness” of the tools. Your method would only indicate that the 2 edges of the T-square are parallel to each other. There is an easy, obvious way that involves drawing lines in a similar way that would measure the squareness, but what you did ain’t it.
Sorry you may be right. It's aluminum, it is the same type of metal that you find in most tools that are aluminum. Good catch if that is correct! Thanks for watching!
Love your channel...however you are the second youtuber that tests squareness by striking a line on one side of a T ruller and then sliding it over and striking on the other side. All this does is test the uniformity of thickness of the ruler. If it was cocked to one side and out of square this test would not find that. To test squareness, you would need to flip it over on the other side, which you can't do on a T ruller. Am I missing something? Why is everyone on youtube makeing this (kind of obvious) mistake.
Yeah, I agree, it is really kind of hard to test the t-ruler. It would be really nice if you could easily flip it around and test it with the tool facing the opposite direction. But I see your point, thanks for sharing and watching Declan!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork I think comparing it to a good square is the only thing you can do. It occurs to me that the only youtubers that admit mistakes are woodworkers; maybe because woodworking is an excercise in humility anyway. You do a great job and I really enjoy your work.
This is sorta like machinists who don't know how to woodwork, make tools for woodworkers, who don't know how to woodwork. Seriously, if people want to metal work wood, or even in this day and age, just work wood. One needs to ask them why they aren't getting into CNC. If people just want to do woodwork, that is a whole other conversation.
You would use a 45 if you were making a flag boxes for fallen soldiers... though you could probably only clamp one corner at a time because they are a bit big.
Great idea. I actually think you might be able to do both at the same time. Probably depends on the size of the flag. I may try a project like this as my wife’s grandfather has a nice flag that is in an old flag box and it could probably use a new one!
@@mightygrom That's awesome! You need to get out there and make that thing to get it out of the trashbag! I still think it will be an awkward glue up though! :) Thanks for watching mightygrom!
Yeah, that is very true! I know a lot of my tuesday videos that I release are probably more subscribers than non-subscribers. Thanks as always for watching Wealro!
Typical Chinese copies I will never buy. Not even close to European or USA brands. Then there are the ethical aspects of supporting a country with an autocratic (communist) government. No thanks. I’ll stay with Festool, Woodpeckers and the likes.
You kind of skipped an opportunity to compare the measurements of both the GOINGMAKE and WOODPECKER brands for measurement accuracy... And do the GOINGMAKE measurements include both Metric and Imperial? Missed tgat opportunity too...
Yep, you are right Chip! I've come to realize when I do these square videos, I really need to test them more out for everyone on camera. I know you don't know me, so it probably doesn't mean much, but any square that I show square on my videos, I do a lot more testing off camera, just to make sure. Probably need to consider either mentioning that or showing that in future videos.
Thanks so much craig. I need to work on that. I'm slowly learning how to get rid of my ums, so's etc. :) I'm definitely a work in progress. Thanks for watching!
Great question. I prefer the ones with the 90 degree angle. The pin ones can be a little more difficult place in those holes., Great question and thanks for watching Beig1970!
Thanks so much. I am actually buying several of these Goingmake tools as a result of your analysis. I love Woodpecker & buy many of its 1-time tools. Most knock offs are not nearly as good, but it seems these Goingmake products are several cuts above other Chinese tools and carefully thought out and packaged. I especially welcome the chance to replace my plastic Kreg hinge jig. Please keep doing those deep searches and finding these gems!
Thanks so much Augua! I love the one time tools when they are out. Every once in a while there is a really nice one! Been really impressed so far, and I don’t think you will be disappointed. I would definitely recommend this hinge jig over the Kreg. But time will tell! Thanks again for commenting and watching!
Great question, I have not seen them available on their website, hard be believe that. In fact I couldn’t even find a website for them when I did a quick search.
I really hope that many of these tools come back in stock in the near future (I need to plan for my income tax refund before the wife earmarks it all!)
on your recomendation i purchased a few of the tools and am most impressed with the quality and price is much less important to me BUT with high quality and low price they are incredible
Very true, thanks for posting this. If the tools weren't a decent quality I would either show that or not have it on this channel. I actually have some tools on next week's video that didn't meet my quality standards and I show it in the video. Excellent comment thanks!
I bought the small rip jig. Never saw one before your video. It makes a huge difference. I can now safely rip thin material. Very nice tools. Thanks for the videos.
That's great to hear! Thank you so much David. I love the thin rip jig. It's great for creating edge banding and those accent pieces for cutting boards. Thanks again for watching!
I have the plane and chisel sharpener. The selling feature was that it was able to do the narrower items. I was able to sharpen my shoulder plane in mo time with it.
I was just looking at a kreg unit and I didn't pull the trigger on the buy button. even with a discount price. You helped me out by featuring this product line. it fits all my needs

I was completely surprised by them. Probably would have started with them on the 32'' before I got the woodpeckers. They seem to be just as good! Thanks so much for commenting and watching W9jim!
The ultimate T-Square test is to draw a line, and then turn the T-Square 180 degrees and draw a second line over the first. Any discrepancy will be doubled, making it easy to see any bowing of the T-Square. I would like to see those results.

FYI, striking a line on both sides of the t-square does NOT test for square. It tests that both sides are parallel. If the handle is cocked a degree or two then it won't show up with the test you did. To over exaggerate this, think of striking a line from the outside edge and the inside edge of the 45 degree side of a speed square. The lines would be identical, but definitely NOT square. Testing that both sides is still a useful test of accuracy, though.
To test for square you would need to either flip the t-square over and strike a line or strike a line from the other end of the board (after verifying that both sides of the board are parallel).
You're right, but in this case he'd already tested one side for square by testing against the Woodpecker square. Testing that the other side was parallel then meant that both sides were square.
I hear you. I agree with you. Thank you so much for sharing this and I will try to incorporate some of these tests. In future videos. It is a little difficult to test square on the t-square without being able to easily flip it over. Thanks again for sharing!
A us folded flag display case i think is 46'degree corners along the bottom.
That is an excellent example Bruce! Thank you so much for sharing and watching!
Could the 45 be used on the outside of miter cuts for clamping.
Excellent idea Tony! Thanks so much for sharing. You've given me a couple of ideas!
You would not believe the amount of times I have seen the title of this video (or some derivation). Usually from some "influencer" with little to no credibility. Then to see that "AMAZING" brand disappear never to be heard from again. Anyone taking bets?
I wouldn't count on it with this one. They really are quite solid. But who knows! :) Thanks for watching!
As another commenter mentioned, the honing guide lacks the positive stop of the red one from Banggood that you reviewed, so I'm not sure why this one would be better.
And I gather than the corner squares only work on the inside of a corner, unlike the other ones you pictured? So this would be a trade-off: you gain the ability to clamp at 45%, but lose the ability to clamp on the outside.
Both excellent points! Thank you so much for sharing. I had completely forgotten about that positive stop on the other honing guides. Thank you for reminding me. You are indeed correct with the corner squares as well. They would be limited to inside corners. That being said, I honestly can’t remember the last time I’ve used one of the L squares on the outside. Probably need to do that more often, just to solidify my squareness on my corners. Excellent points once again!
I have every single goingmake tool. They all are built well. Only issue is that I have 2 of the rulers that do not sit flat. They have a bow in the middle. They are square but have about an 1/8 bow in the middle. Sent back for replacement through Amazon. Same issue.
Thank you so much for sharing this AAguilar74! Love hearing feedback of people who have actually used the tools and have expereince with them. I'm going to keep an eye out for that, thank you so much for sharing and watching!
I am surprised that most everyone says the 45 for flag displays etc. But what about corner cabinets, 8 sided mirror or picture frames, planter boxes, bird house or dog house roofs. Out door octagonal table tops, as well as patio decking and railings.
Dang Toddmaki! What great ideas, thank you so much for sharing all of these, there are some that I haven't even thought of (and either had any of the other viewers!). Thanks so much for sharing and waching!
I bought these as you recommended. I bought the 12-inch, 24-inch, and 32-inch, unfortunately, the 24-inch was not square and the 32-inch had the guide pins holes drilled 90 degrees out of place. Disappointing that 2 out of the 3 were defective! oh well, that's how it goes with cheap tools.
Really? That’s very surprising. Thank you so much from sharing this. I hope you returned them immediately. I like to hear everyone’s experience good and bad. Sorry you had so much trouble with them. I honestly wish I would have gotten the defective ones instead of you so that I could have shown that. Thanks again for sharing.
Where can that multiangle square be purchased @?
Great question! You should be able to find all of the links in the description box of the video! Thank you so much for watching Nate!
FlynnDogg! My dude is killin' it with the tool reviews. I am extremely thankful that you take the time to find really good tools for those of us that can't afford a collection of Woodpecker gear. I know you personally don't need alternative tools and you do it for us! FlynnDogg is the BIG-DOG looking out for the community. I follow a ton of woodworkers and NOBODY is doing it like FlynnDogg. He has an alternative for just about every red tool I can think of that most of us would use.
I really want to try out some of those T-squares. I've always wanted the red brand but holy cow! I need a financing plan just to get a tiny L shaped square 😂
I also want an honing guide. I checked Woodpeckers and I THINK they brought back the original model the Bangood version is based on but it's much more costly. The only thing I don't like about
The Goingmake guide is it doest have a fixed positive stop for the chisel blade. The line leaves room for variances and error. The degree doesn't have to be spot on but users (I mean me lol) might set up the chisel on the line, a little past the line or a little before. That changes the grind angle each time. With the red models the blade bumps up against a solid stop duplicating the angle every time.
The other tools you showed all look really cool! I don't know what I would do with a 45 degree clamp either but I can say I can do it would be reason enough 👍
Appreciate you making Saturday mornings awesome! Keep it going!
I agree bout the lack of the fixed positive stop. Also, although the red one only has one pair of wheels, they can still be swapped over to allow for both narrow (chisel) and wide (plane) blades, so it's not clear that these offer any advantage over the red one.
Thank you so much Sean for you kind words! I really appreciate it and thank you so much. You know, I actually forgot about that positive stop on the other honing guides. Excellent point. That is a feature I guess Goingmake doesn’t have and could definitely stand to add! Excellent point! Love your enthusiasm, and thank you so much again!
Flynndog! Do they have a miter gauge?
Unfortunately I don't believe so, That would be an excellent addition for them. I do know they are working on a pocket hole jig, so I will be interested to see how that turns out.
Got me with that plastic🤣🤣🤣
Haha! I'm glad you liked that bigmanh007! :) At lease someone has my sense of humor! Thanks for watching!
Great video! The hinge jig looks very much like the Veiko I have. Makes me wonder…
Interesting, I'll have to check out that Veiko, I'm not familiar with that brand. Thanks for sharing and watching vnhoyt!
Great channel. An American flag display case is a great use for a 45 degree angle clamp. Where did you get your honing plate?
Excellent idea bgreg with the flag display box! I got it off of amazon. There should be a link in the description if you want to check it out. Thank you so much for watching and your idea with the flag box!
Dogg, man love Reno 911. We think you have hit the lottery. Did you buy these tools with money we could have used for a lathe? You had growth? Dogg, man, you used to say that "only 11%" of the people who watch your videos are subscribed. Today, you said, "9%." Are we wrong? I think we pay pretty good attention to what you talk about. We will always be subscribers (unless you blow all your cash on little Chinese tools rather than a Rikon, JET or Powermatic lathe).
Haha! I love that show too! Lot of funny stuff! Yeah it was 11% but since I had a bunch of views on the last few videos the % went down. Excellent question! Didn’t think anyone listens that closely to me! I did a lot of research on lathes yesterday. Also checked those acme lathes as well. I really can’t figure out which one I want. I also need to think about a new belt/spindle sander as I found a mouse nest in it when I was putting things together on mud my shop. Freaked me out and jumped landing the sander on the floor. Wish I would have gotten that on camera!!!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Dogg, man, so many choices we know. Which one (why not all, as you seem to buy multiple tools anyway) to get? The mouse and your reaction would have been epic and probably boosted your viewership. We'll get there. You're too good not to make it. Keep up the great content. You tickle the (turkey) stuffing out of us.
@@themeat5053 Thinking about checking out a grizzly one. I haven't owned any grizzly tools and I thought this might be a good one to test them out on.
You are on your clip insertion game.
Haha! I think they add little humor. They sometimes take a long time to do, but I think they make the videos a little more fun! Thanks for watching lovablepersona!
Flag boxes require a 45 degree corner to be clamped.
Excelent point! A couple of other viewers have mentioned that as well! Thanks for sharing and watching biginufm4264!
It is always good to have an American made square to test out Chinese made squares.
Haha! I know right! :) I guess it's a good thing I have both! Thanks for watching!
On the shelf pin jig. Do they have an 8mm bushing available for it or Is it possible to add an 8mm bushing?
Great question. It looks like right now all they have available is the 1/4'' and 5'' jigs available. That would probably be a great add. I actually used this jig this week and worked well but had to use a different size drill bit due to my shelf clips. Worked well even though my drill bit was a little undersized.
@@FlynndoggWoodwork I want to add some 8 mm shelf pin supports to a shelving project. I don’t want to invest in the LR 32 systems from festool or the lee valley shelf pin jig. I have three other shelf pin jigs. But dont have the option to go up higher than 9/32”
@@chucksanchez3377 I totally agree. That festool system looks nice, but its a little bit of an overkill for what I do.
@@chucksanchez3377 Hmm... that's a tough one, I wonder if anyone else out there has a suggestion?
What about 45’s on picture frames? Thanks for reviewing the t-squares, been looking for some good ones.
Good idea Jeff! Thanks so much for watching the video and commenting!
I like the tool for sharpening chisels. I have tried free hand sharpening and still haven't gotten the hang of it.
Wonder what I can find for the various chisels and gouges for the lathe.
That's a great question Jim! I'm actually going to upgrade my lathe soon and I would like to learn how to sharpen my own lathe tools. I'm sure I'll be digging deep once I get to that point. Gotta get the lathe first though! :)
You can’t ignore tools made in China because they do the exact same thing at less than half the price. I can do without tools made in China and save up for ones that are nice and made in USA. Just two different ways of looking at it. I love your channel and watch every episode. Side note as soon as the paint rubs off you will be buying another measuring tools useless without marks. I guess you could argue that you can buy 3 in some cases for 1 of the other brands. So at that point you would have bought 3 tools spent the same amount and still not had a nice tool in your hands yet.
Very valid point Ivan. Kind like the phrase cry once buy once! I recently just experience that with a router bit that i just bought. I went the cheap route and it is basically useless! I like to buy american when I can, but I'm also frugal enough not to waste money on simple tools. THanks so much for sharing and watchign Ivan!
At 5:00, I think you may have flipped the back camera footage from your phone in editing. I almost bought their T-rulers. I really don't like the "xx INCH" font on them.
Oh man! Good catch, I didn't even realize I did that. I think I filmed this part in portrait mode for some reason and when I was trying to get it for this video I must have inadvertently flipped the image! You have a good eye!!!
You don’t indicate in video of you are sponsored by them or if you get the tools for free? Would like to know?
Great question, definitely not sponsored. But they did send me the tools for free. I need to do a better job about disclosing those things on my videos. Thank you for asking, I'll continue to improve my transparency.
a 45 degree angle for a deceased veteran flag case.
Excellent suggestion James! Thanks so much for watching!
Nice gear for the money, shame the T squares don't appear to be available in metric versions. Rather tempted by those corner clamps, currently listed at £37.37 here in UK. Love the production style and hilarious cutaways!
I wrote Goingmake the same. They said that it "will be on sale as soon as we can". Now I tried the Veiko and that is good as well. The imperial scale was also what hold me back from the corner clamps.
Thank you so much! I know the cutaways annoy some people, but I think they are kind of fun! Thank you so much for watching. usually it is the other way around! Hard to get imperial and easy to get metric. I know I had a couple of back and forths with them and it sounds like they are increasing their line of availabilty!
I like how you compare these tools again to Woodpeckers. What I don't understand is why you would not compare the measurements or scales of each since it was even brought up in your last review of these tools. So my question to you is are the Goingmake measurements as accurate as the Woodpeckers? and why would you not show this ?
I hear you! This video was already recorded before that discussion. I have not seen anything that raises a red flag with me on any of the measurements so far. These tools are still new to me however so I will have to continue to use them and report back.
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Thanks for your response. I take it from what you are saying you have not seen any difference in the scaled measurements from Goingmake to Woodpeckers ?
I’m curious as well…
@@MrVinced1201 That is correct. I want to work with them for a while and I plan on doing a year review video on a lot of these new tools in well.... I guess about a year from now!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Sounds good I was just wanting to make sure that if you make a measurement, lets say 6" on a Woodpecker tool and you use one of these tools that you were showing in your video that they would read the same. Thanks again for your responses and your videos.
Nice review, I just take issue with your method of measuring the accuracy of the T-Square. I would argue that the lines you drew in the manner you drew them does NOTHING to measure the “squareness” of the tools. Your method would only indicate that the 2 edges of the T-square are parallel to each other. There is an easy, obvious way that involves drawing lines in a similar way that would measure the squareness, but what you did ain’t it.
Yes, I could see that, thanks for sharing and watching
Are u sure it's cast aluminum? I surely hope you are mistaken and they're really extruded aluminum...
Cast aluminum is very very brittle.
Sorry you may be right. It's aluminum, it is the same type of metal that you find in most tools that are aluminum. Good catch if that is correct! Thanks for watching!
I think the 45 degree would work for a flag display box.
Excellent idea, thanks for watching ellsgeiwitz!

That would be a perfect use for it! Thanks for sharing Ken, and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork I tried to pace myself at dinner. Hope your day was good too.
@@kenerickson4923 You know, I did the same thing, and then filled up, forgetting about pumpkin pie! I'm an idiot sometimes!
I don't forget about the pie. The routine at holiday dinners at our family is a list of pies. My response is always "Yes"
Not 100% but getting there. Woodpeckers is excellent stuff but kills the bank, hard to justify for every now n again specialty tools.
Yep I would agree with you Juangaba! Thanks so much for watching, and commenting. I appreciate it!
You need a 45° clamp if you make flag display cases
Ellexcent point! Thanks for watching!
This all sounds great but I only buy American
I hear ya Donald! Thanks for watching!
Love your channel...however you are the second youtuber that tests squareness by striking a line on one side of a T ruller and then sliding it over and striking on the other side. All this does is test the uniformity of thickness of the ruler. If it was cocked to one side and out of square this test would not find that. To test squareness, you would need to flip it over on the other side, which you can't do on a T ruller. Am I missing something? Why is everyone on youtube makeing this (kind of obvious) mistake.
Yeah, I agree, it is really kind of hard to test the t-ruler. It would be really nice if you could easily flip it around and test it with the tool facing the opposite direction. But I see your point, thanks for sharing and watching Declan!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork I think comparing it to a good square is the only thing you can do. It occurs to me that the only youtubers that admit mistakes are woodworkers; maybe because woodworking is an excercise in humility anyway. You do a great job and I really enjoy your work.
@@Declan4253 Thanks so much Declan, I'm the first to admit anything I wrong which is a lot! :)
45 degrees might be use for making shadow boxes for retirements/funeral flags
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing papiwi!
I’m new to your channel and is there metric on this?
Not yet, sounds like those are coming soon! Great question, someone else asked that as well.
This is sorta like machinists who don't know how to woodwork, make tools for woodworkers, who don't know how to woodwork.
Seriously, if people want to metal work wood, or even in this day and age, just work wood. One needs to ask them why they aren't getting into CNC.
If people just want to do woodwork, that is a whole other conversation.
Thanks for sharing your opinion! I appreciate it and thanks for watching!
45 degree box for a flag of a deceased military member.
Excellent idea! Thank you so much for watching!
You would use a 45 if you were making a flag boxes for fallen soldiers... though you could probably only clamp one corner at a time because they are a bit big.
Great idea. I actually think you might be able to do both at the same time. Probably depends on the size of the flag. I may try a project like this as my wife’s grandfather has a nice flag that is in an old flag box and it could probably use a new one!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork I have one in my project list for my Grandfather's flag. It's been sitting in my grandmother's house in a trashbag for 10 years.

I hear you and totally respect that! Thanks so much for watching fatmanjoh! :)
You kind of skipped an opportunity to compare the measurements of both the GOINGMAKE and WOODPECKER brands for measurement accuracy...
And do the GOINGMAKE measurements include both Metric and Imperial? Missed tgat opportunity too...
Yep, you are right Chip! I've come to realize when I do these square videos, I really need to test them more out for everyone on camera. I know you don't know me, so it probably doesn't mean much, but any square that I show square on my videos, I do a lot more testing off camera, just to make sure. Probably need to consider either mentioning that or showing that in future videos.

Thanks so much. I am actually buying several of these Goingmake tools as a result of your analysis. I love Woodpecker & buy many of its 1-time tools. Most knock offs are not nearly as good, but it seems these Goingmake products are several cuts above other Chinese tools and carefully thought out and packaged. I especially welcome the chance to replace my plastic Kreg hinge jig. Please keep doing those deep searches and finding these gems!
Thanks so much Augua! I love the one time tools when they are out. Every once in a while there is a really nice one! Been really impressed so far, and I don’t think you will be disappointed. I would definitely recommend this hinge jig over the Kreg. But time will tell! Thanks again for commenting and watching!
