Hey everyone. Look what I just bought "by accident". The picture doesn't really do it justice, this thing is HUGE. I told myself I'd never do a vise restoration video because I think it has become kind of a lame fad on YouTube. But now that I ended up with this thing by coincidence, I'm considering it. What do you think?

I've started on the next big Project! Can you guess what it will be?

All plans include a 3D Model of the build that you can use in different applications!

Hi!
just letting you know that there are now plans available for some of my older projects in case you are interested! I've been asked for measurements a lot for these projects so I decided to retroactively create some plans.
For now you can get them for the welding table and the couch I made. You can get them here: www.etsy.com/shop/PhilVandelayLet me know if you want to see plans for any other projects!

Hey everyone. There's gonna be a bunch of new videos soon! I'm making another cargo bike right now and this time there will be a tutorial as well as plans available so you can build your own. Head over to my Instagram if you want to see the current progress.


I also want to do a little poll, if I make an instruction-type video, would you prefer a voiceover or just text where things need to be explained?

Some of you might have noticed it's gotten a little quiet around here so here's a little update. I haven't been in the shop much due to having to earn money doing my actual, boring job. I'm thinking about launching a patreon so I can spend more time making videos and less time working in an office. I'm not yet sure about it though.

So all I have to show you right now is this little DRO setup I added to my lathe tailstock. Thanks to ‪@frankhoose‬ for that idea. If you want to see more small projects like that which don't make it into videos head over to my instagram.

There's also good news: I'm finally almost done with the boat build video and it's probably gonna be online next weekend. I might try out the new YouTube Premiere feature for that. Like I said, it's gonna be a long one. I also have a bunch of new projects planned. Some tool related but there's also gonna be more bikes coming. And I'm looking at upgrading my mill. Maybe you've seen this old Deckel mill in my instagram stories, I ended up not buying it though... I'm still on the hunt. Stay tuned.

In case you've missed it, I'm currently working on my biggest project yet both size and time wise. It's gonna be awesome but there's still a lot of work left to do. This is what I made the metal brake for. If you want to see some more progress head over to my instagram.

Thinking about splitting this one up into two videos, otherwise it might end up being 30 minutes or longer. What do you think?

A little glimpse into the next project. Can you guess what it is?
