    The various ways of marking odd angles for flooring is quite smart. The cd/pen trick is my favorite. Used that one when installing flooring on countless occasions. The hacksaw blade for a sandpaper cutter is another smart one. Had that one in my work truck, too.

    A couple of these were neat demonstrations of the applications of simple geometry concepts, which I appreciate.
    But ALOT of these were either pointless/impractical, or straight up actively bad. I dreaded what I would see every time that chisel came out after the first one. The level of imprecision there is staggering, lots of cases where the wood got absolutely destroyed or cracked apart- even spots where you put screws into something that did literally nothing because they clearly weren't long enough.

    • @UltimaGabe
