We go to quite a lot of nice woodworkers, they usually have quite a lot of cool instruments. Many people on workers at Effective Woodworking even have purchased quite a lot of cool instruments. And I believed it may be cool to begin performing some show-and-tells of the attention-grabbing instruments we come throughout. Adam Savage, on his YouTube channel “Examined,” likes to do device show-and-tells. Normally, he focuses on a device that he lately picked up, however very often it’s one thing simply thinks is attention-grabbing or inspiring. At the moment’s show-and-tell is all of these issues.
It would appear like brass fidget spinner, however this Mirock wheel ruler is kind of the contraption. The second I noticed the video of constructing it, I believed it was ingenious and knew I wanted to purchase one. I’ve been making quite a lot of ukuleles and a lot of the woodworking I do has few straight strains. This wheel ruler permits me to get moderately correct measurements of any floor, straight or curved. Certain, I might I might use a material tape measure to do the identical factor, but it surely’s loads much less enjoyable—and it’s actually not as inspiring as utilizing the Mirock wheel ruler.
Mirock is a device maker in Ukraine who needed to shut his store for a couple of months whereas he evacuated his household. As quickly as he reopened his Etsy retailer, I vowed to purchase a device from him. Quickly thereafter, he posted a video of the making of this on YouTube, and I knew I needed to have one. I don’t usually drop $150 on instruments—with out hesitation—however I believe that is value each penny. Not solely is it a practical, inspiring device that I exploit usually, but it surely additionally allowed me to help a toolmaker I drastically admire. That is most likely on the high of the record of good instruments that I’ve purchased from individuals I completely respect.
