Wow! This means we can finally end the decades long moratorium on throwing buckets of water on the machinery in the shop! My apprentices are SO excited for this new development, their little bodies just quivered with delight when I showed them the video.

I'd love to see you guys make a kumiko jig like the chopstick tool you have

Where can I find the cross cut fence used in the video? It looks like the blade is from the JointMaker Pro. I have those.

That is NOT HOW TO USE THE TOOL RE READ THE INSTRUCTION

Thank you John. I am still hooked on tools, and tool design. I started in the earlier days, dreaming of owning TS-1 and TS-2. I saved and made my purchase. Ever day when in the workshop I use them. So 30+ years, they have small marks and use kisses. All my Bridge City Tools are used, not in show cases, they just make the workshop an art gallery. Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us.

Thanks John :) your work inspires me in the shop every day

I love your tutorials, I would love to see some of how to make segments for a wood lathe and how to adjust the Jointmaker Pro to do it at different angles. is there any video?

I didn't mind spending a lot of money on the jig. But I was appalled when I spent all the money on the chopstick bags, only to find out Bridge City plastered a large logo advertising themselves on the bag. Why? I'm not selling THEIR chopsticks, I'm selling MY chopsticks. Very bad form Bridge City. I now have 30 bags that I will be throwing away and I'll never order supplies from you again.

Can it be used for hard wood?

My use case for this is on my table saw where it will assist with blade angle & height setup, as well as miter gauge setup. I got it on black Friday special for less than half regular price. IMHO it is worth that cost, but I'd never pay full for it ($239), as that price is way over what its worth to me would be.

Cool tool but damn, this voice sounds like a freakin Andross from starfox 64

NUTZ

You need to stop the lie- BCT is not based in Portland it is China owned, China made. It's distribution is based in Ca. Nothing is made in Portland or in the USA

I'd love to do this with the v2, is there any plan for that?

$700?!! And another $300 for the jaws🤣?!!

I had no idea. I've been using mine as a center punch for years.

I can’t find this available on the site… looks like the v2 doesn’t have some of this functionality?

Can you buy the accessories for the older version Chopstick Masters ?

Brilliant!

Incredibly complicated and overpriced. Who actually uses this sort of thing?

very nice! but $700? what's so personal about making this pencil? you can buy blank pencil in all shapes and then you can just customize it your own. You're better off buying a blank pencil and spending $700 on a laser engraver...

If I took this much time to drill every hole in a project, I would never finish anything. Also, if you expect to sell a very expensive tool like this, try drilling in something more appropriate than an old 2 X 4. Surely you wouldn't have to clamp every piece in a vice just to drill a hole in it....kind of like using a drill press to drill every hole. It is pretty though!!

Great stuff, a happy customer!

Could you create and cut epoxy/wood blanks?

Darth Vader is selling tools now?

Enjoy using mine. I would ask that you offer a video please on sharpening and how to use the jig for the blade please, Thank you

Wtf? Source a voice over online for like $100. I run a very small local company and would never release that audio. Had to mute to watch. You guys make good tools but need to reinforce that you make good decisions. This was not one.

Beautiful made Way overpriced Looks great, just like a Ferrari, then you have to go shopping and you have no boot/trunk to store anything. So buying this, ain't gonna happen.

Designed in Portugal ... made in China ... and you make me pay 250 bucks?

@Bridge City / it's a cool looking tool and you should get a "thumbs -up" for that alone - But ! the fake computer narrator voice really sucked , so - no thumbs up for you today :( next time hire a live person to do your audio . Suggestion : woman with an appealing voice , guys will love it , and lets face it -- us men are probably the only ones watching your videos ??

I’ve got a teeny bit of tool-lust buzzin ‘round my head now…. Is this beauty made from aluminum or steel? Strikes me as aluminum for some reason.

When I first saw this I thought it was really stupid so I bought one. It came in today and now tonight, I have one really nice chopstick and one chopstick that looks like a badger made it. Now I have to find a one armed Chinese person and give them the good ole boy sales pitch.

The owners manual has less details than this Poor video demonstration.

Hello, good morning, do not be tired Thank you for knowing where I can get Master Chopsticks Thank

Let's play a game of drilling holes

Hello, I didn't know much about this product till I saw some videos about it so I purchased KM 1, KM 2, and centering tool. I used centering tool and the results were amazingly accurate without having to resort to any trial and error. Today, I tried KM 1 and on second attempt( first attempt I didn't do the setup correctly so the the opening was few thousands off) the 2 pieces were locked perfectly. Glad I bought these tools and I highly recommend them for anyone doing any dado or lap joints. I now can do my lap joints to build a torsion box without any measuring or fussing with each cut. Thanks AJ

Well,... Here is a solution to a problem i didn't know existed... :-)

that voice is awful, i cant even finish the video.

useless tool

You can buy set of 12 pencils for $1..

Here is the problem with company, soon it will fill form for bankruptcy,so many customers don't wants to pay high prices for shipping and delivery fees.You pay 100$ for tool +150$ brokerage shipping + 25$ handling + many more hidden fees ...what Bridge City Tools think ... keep the customers that way ... no chance

It’s only $900

Cool tool. What's with the voice though?

why does the narrator sound like a stalker?

The voice changer on this dudes voice is giving me a headache.

I’ve been excited for this tool’s release since first reading about it in a blog earlier this year. Great presentation and I appreciate the tool being shown in actual use but the voice… I can’t help but think the narrator is going to say, “I want to play a game…”

How is the Dj-3 different from the dj-2?
