100% correct, I think the best example of this might be Bridge City Tools who went from manufacturing in the USA to China and maintained the same pricing, then Banggood started selling Bridge City Tools directly from China both as branded and unbranded. I bet their lawyers never saw that coming when they handed over all of their designs.

Yep and it's also partly on the consumer for always demanding a cheaper product without carrying about quality. I always look for the best price to buy a certain item, I'll research first and decide the highest quality version of a particular tool I can afford them look for the cheapest way to buy it. Sadly this is usually Amazon who I don't like supporting or I'll find a hardware store in the USA, call them and arrange a visa purchase offer the phone then find a friend who lives close by and can take it to the post office for me. I end up saving a lot and getting access to product that our lazy retailers don't have and aren't interested in ever ordering

Yeah that's the exact attitude I bought it with and ended up throwing out the carbatec 25mm smokemaker 2000 and keeping the Temu bit

I've bought a $116 festool pilot/countersink bit for melamine construction, a $30 snappy and a $25 smartbit and none of them match the $5 bits I've bought from Temu in terms of sharpness, durability and most importantly just how little effort is needed to countersink - this is a big deal when you insert 2500 screws on the average kitchen build

Thanks bro, I find that forstner bits need to run at 2000rpm both according to manufacturer's guides and experience, at lower speeds they tear out and wonder The manufacturer's recommended speed for metal is 650rpm so respectfully I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing

@@OneManBandWoodworks Thanks for the info , but RPM over Torque , i used hand powered drill when i was younger , to much pressure is a bad thing , try slowing it and see, Happy New Year

I'm asking you the question retard

Yeah for some reason any house I do that was built in the 90s is the worst

Thanks mate, I'll switch to the construction phase in the next 2 weeks which might surprise some people as to how differently I do certain aspects of the build

I seem to always end up dealing with someone like that's work every job I do. It's very frustrating. One of the tall cabinets had no studs behind it so it was glued to the wall rather than using some hollow wall anchors

​@@OneManBandWoodworks You just know that when they stand back to look at their work that they think they have done an excellent job and others will be there to pat them on the back for their efforts.

@@Simon_W74 he probably charged less and made more than me, I've actually proven this to be the case on another install

@@OneManBandWoodworks He was working on the house when he owned it. I have a toilet that is on a 12" Plinth to get the correct drop, as he didn't want to remove the old soak away trough that runs along the side of the house. It was partly removed. It is a bigger job due to how close the boundary with next door is. That is my next job putting the toilet on the floor and removing the trough. I was tempted to put the toilet back where it once was when it was a Shop, which would have been the quicker way to do it. I will eventually do that as once the kids have left home one of their downstairs rooms will be made into a wet room. We at one point had one and a half badly installed kitchens. As the bloke tried to have what was the shop as a holiday let, and I guess it flopped as he then rented it out, before his Wife moved into it as their Marriage broke down. Every single room has had something bodged by him. I have had to take out a door frame to square it back up as it was really out of square. I was more surprised by the fact that I hadn't noticed. He did have a Builder Friend work with him, normally straight after the pub by the look of things. like the raised toilet.

It's recycled Oregon

Yep it certainly does, when firewood logs look like this they don't split the just keep crumbling

Imagine not being able to decipher sarcasm that's so obvious it slaps you in the face harder than the embarrassment of actually posting that comment from truth

By woodworking

@@OneManBandWoodworks I don’t get it “By woodworking “

Oh sorry I'll explain, I used the power of woodwork

It's literally an exact replica to the millimetre, I think if you dug deeply enough you might find that you also look nothing like your mother expected but I'm sure she still loves you.

This is much more fun

Thank you so much for instructing me on what to do next time so I can effectively entertain such an important person like yourself that my life definitely revolves around. The bit got that dull half way into the first cut so case in point would be exactly the same, the internet thanks you for being who you are and I thank you for bumping up on the algorithms

@@OneManBandWoodworks Good job showing your true colors. I guess maybe that helps you get a bigger audience and everyone's attention that YOU obviously deserve knowing everything. If it wasn't for idiots like me you'd probably have nobody watching your videos.

It's true, thank you for being an idiot and revealing my true colours to the world

That is a BMI 429341011 tape measure from Amazon and it's so good that one day I forgot it at home for a job in the city and I chose to drive back and pay the $29 in tolls again just to have it, it's a revelation once you use it you can't use a normal tape again

@@OneManBandWoodworks lol. Ordering one now!

You'll love it

You just made my day and my life worth living, I'm undoing the noose as we speak. Thanks

I hand biltong or salami off it but normal people would hand towels or clothes from it

You should be, it just can't get lower than about 20mm which might be a problem

That's one life I got to save, I'm going to make it another day, thank you I'm stepping back from the ledge now

I only spent 4 months at the physio after this

Yeah it really needs it

😂😂 just had to clarify

Troll... These are rock solid

Recycled "TIMBER" as we are in Australia, supplied by the client due to sentimental reasons, I designed it myself and it is a new design added to my line up, thank you so much for bumping me up higher on the algorithm though

Thank you

Marble score 9 doesn't mess around mate, it's the gear

Do you want it, nobody likes it.

ahh tomayto tomato

Yes 100% but I had about 60 of them to drill so it bought itself back pretty quickly

i think so, but not right out of the box, there is a tap on one side of the post that fit in a slot, so a slot on other side has to be made, or remove tap but then it dont lock rotation sideways

That's right - not without modification but as the baseplate is only 25mm thick I just drill through it if I need to go further than the throat depth will allow

You must be so much fun at parties

Do you mean the yellow cage around the drill bit? it's a Smart Bit (brand name) they all have the same floating depth stop
