[@gteam53]

I bought the NicPro pencil set on your recommendation and I am glad I did. Great product, thanks!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Oh awesome! That set really is quite a nice kit for the price. I've been using it like crazy too! Thanks so much for watching!

[@a9ball1]

Brian, I've watched every one of your videos and I think the beginning of this one with the Google dive is terrific. I hope you do that again. The pencil set is the winner of this one.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks so much a9ball1. I would tend to agree with you on that pencil set. Followed closely by that c-clamp. It's been on my list for a ling time! :)

I've been using the 2.8 built in pencil sharpener style pencils for a couple years now. I use it for everything from rough framing to trimming out houses. Only pencil I use these days. Love the channel.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

That's awesome, I've been leaning towards the thicker lead myself. So tired of the lead breaking in the smaller pencils! Thanks so much for the compliment and thanks for watching Darrell!

[@Jimc4007]

I recently bought a pencil set like this one and I love having it. I already have a couple of those clamps, got a deal on them a year or so back from Kreg. Dipped the ends in plasti-dip now don't worry about scraping whatever I put them on. Maybe I will make it through the weekend without spending money on the Flynndog's suggestions!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Haha! I'm glad I didn't cost you any money this weekend! :) Great idea on the plastic dip! I think I'll do that as well! Thanks for suggesting it Jim!

Cool video.

Thanks! I appreciate that Ken!

[@kencross25]

I love that T-shirt you're wearing today. I don't know if I have ever told you in the comments that I really enjoy your channel. The information on tools saves me time (which I never seem to have) and the bantering between you and Bert are the highlights during my hectic day. I must inform you that I'm getting poorer, twenty=five dollars a throw, by following your channel. But I love new toys. Thank you and keep up this great content.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Oh you are too kind Ken, really appreciate that. Believe me you aren't the only one getting poorer on these tools. Sometimes I have to make these cheaper tool videos just to save a little bit of money! Thanks again for your nice comment!

[@Pat64783]

That set of nicpro mechanical pencils was more than I needed so I checked into that brand a little more on Amazon and found there's a single pencil with all the different colored refills under 9 dollars and purchased it. I'm very happy with it and it works great. Thanks for save me some money because I almost purchased that more expensive fat boy.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Oh great! Glad you got it. You know someone also mentioned that the fat boy has too fat of lead, and now that I have the nicpro i would tend to agree with them. Seems to get much more precise markings while still visible!

[@rodpotts2666]

The wed site looks great.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks Rod! I appreciate it!

[@milleradam98]

I know not everyone has a Menards by them, but for those that do like me the masterforce bar clamps have a 4 and 3/4-in throat depth (I routinely get 5 in) The bars are super thick stainless steel thousand pound capacity, and the 36 in is only $15 a piece. They also have 12 and 24-in for less than that. I own all three models and love them

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks so much for sharing that milleradam98! I love menards, Haven't been in a long time as the closest one near me is about an hour away... with 10 home depots and lowe's in between. Need to visit soon! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@hansangb]

@16:48 If you put your finger into the slot (hmmmm) it'll vacuum up the dust. That pencil set and that brush looks tempting though.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

I've tried that! I think my little sausage fingers just can't get in there! :) Or maybe I'm just impatient! Thanks so much for watchign Hansangb!

[@CorbyQ]

Ok im commenting as I watch so there might be multiple comments. First the intro is awesome but I need more Bert in my life. Second this spindle clamps are awesome I've never seen those before.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Love those spindle clamps. I featured those last year I think. Really come in handy if you need to force something in the same plane. Stay tuned Burt will be back! :)

[@DavidATakes]

Thanks for the video Brian. A rust removal video should be in the making very soon. My OCD caught on fire when I saw all of that rust on your table saw rail. ;-)

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

You READ MY MIND! I'm actually thinking about doing that. I still have rust all over some of my cast iron from when my shop wasn't climate controlled last year and I dripped sweat on it (yuck). I'm definitely going to be doing that very soon! :)

[@John-NeverStopLearning]

The throat clamps are clamps welders use. This keeps the clamps away from the welds. The screw clamps 🗜️ as you call them, I have always known them to be Jorgensen clamps. If I wrong please let me know. I do like the carpenter pencils

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks so much for sharing john! I think Jorgensen might have developed the clamps. Jorgensen is a brand name of clamps I know. The throat clamps are also used a lot with pocket hole joinery as well. I've got a smaller set from Kreg that I use quite frequently. Thanks so much for watching!

[@patcross5799]

I had to really work to not spit take my coffee across the table when you said, "miter saw butt crack." I don't have that set, but I have a few of those pencils, and I use them regularly, and the different colors do work really well on differing colored wood. Glad you got your crack cleaned up. Thanks for the morning video, enjoy the weekend and happy St. Paddy's,

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Haha! I just kept looking at that crack and thought... it does look like. a butt crack! :). Thank you so much for watching as always Pat, and Happy St. Patricks to you as well!

[@gregbarber8659]

I got those push bocks. But was disappointed in the grip after a short time with the foam on the two blocks

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Thanks for sharing Greg! Good to know. I love hearing about peoples experiences who have had the tools for a wile Thanks again for sharing!

[@ST-0311]

Looks to me like your next project needs to be a drill press table. Tracks incorporated into the fence and base are very useful for clamps and stop blocks. Good to see the price for push block sets are finally coming down. Sets like that used to be $40 +. Hopefully, more people will start using them. I like the Lunar Block. But yeah, sanding is always gonna suck. The pencil set looks to be a good deal if one doesn't mind a fat lead, and I really like the awI/scriber. Honestly, I prefer to keep my lines crisp without having to sharpen the tip after every 3rd one. I love the GraphGear 1000 pencils too much to give them up. Keep Googling Deep for us.

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Haha! Thanks so miuch ST-0311! You are exactly right. Drill press table is on my short list. As soon as I get more storage built for all the crap laying around my shop, I'm going to be doing stuff like that. Also really want a zero clearance set up for the miter saw. I'm tired of tear out!

[@timcottom8397]

Dog I'm glad you do the google deep dive so I don't have to!!!! I was looking at a deep reach ( throat ) clamp a couple days ago. I especially like the pencil set. Thanks Bigdog Timothy

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Love that deep reach clamp. That and the pencils were probably my two favorite from this video! Thanks so much for watching Tim!

[@Damon_Barber]

I believe the “boot” is a push shoe. Push sticks, push blocks and push shoes. First time I heard “push shoe” was an Izzy Swan video a few weeks ago. I would not recommend the plastic ones, though. If the blade hits them they can shatter and send plastic shrapnel everywhere.

[@ST-0311]

The shattering plastic push sticks is grossly exaggerated. However, when one needs to direct traffic to expensive foam tipped ones via an affiliate link sometimes a bit of exaggeration is necessary. I agree that these particular shoes shouldn't be used. Not because they're plastic. These are only about 3/8 to 7/16 thick, so they are not stable laterally. They easily tip form side to side, and tipping towards a spinning blade would be disastrous.

[@Damon_Barber]

@@ST-0311 not sure how you can exaggerate a push stick literally exploding on camera when it comes into contact with a table saw blade. 🤷‍♂️ Not a chance I’m comfortable taking when there are perfectly safe alternatives that work much better. And the scrap wood ones are free. 🥳

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

Push shoe! Someone else mentioned that as well. My favorite design by far. I think 731 had an accident with a plastic push stick a while back. From my experience, the blade just cuts right through it, but I definitely bet you could get kick back and have it shatter if it comes in at an angle or pressure is put on it. Great point and thanks for watching Damon!

[@FlynndoggWoodwork]

I like the old fashion wooden ones quite a bit. I've got two right now. I should make a video on how to create a bunch of these designs, that would do pretty well I bet! Thanks for watching ST-0311!

[@ST-0311]

@@Damon_BarberYeah. The same camera that recorded that forced "explosion" also recorded the recommendation that included chicken foot push sticks not be used at all, because they don't provide enough downward support. A recommendation I agree with wholeheartedly. What did he say? "Push forward, down, and toward the fence all at the same time." Exactly right. A foam chicken foot doesn't contribute any more vertical or lateral pressure than the one that comes with a Ryobi job site saw. That camera also recorded recommendations for the PLASTIC MicroJig Grr-Ripper, and the PLASTIC Grr-Rip Blocks with the PLASTIC drop down tabs on several occasions. Both are excellent plastic devices. Before Bow all included or after market push sticks, blocks, and shoes were plastic. Everyone used them. No one was complaining. There were few if any reports of exploding plastic injuries. Now they're "dangerous." Content creation is a business.

Sorry to hear @lordhog. Been there. But things happen for a reason in life. We may not know or understand why, now, & is difficult at times to deal with. However, there is the reason. Some things are beyond us and our control. Now it’s times to work on YOU & make yourself happy. I’d you’re on YT, checking out a woodworking video, seems like you’re a woodworker. Work on your game, be creative, keep your mind occupied. Build something that satisfies you and begin your journey if you haven’t. If you have, continue to make it grow and make it better. Not my business to be involved in someone’s life but felt it was necessary & important for some reason to say this to you. I wish you well. God bless.
