Nice work mate!

[@BuiltByChris]

Thank you Anthony.

[@rexcowan4314]

Nicely done, and timely too, I need to build one.

[@avoidtheherd7066]

Never seen a table saw fence like that one. Fantastic!

[@BuiltByChris]

It's the Incra LS Positioner. An absolute cracker of a table saw fence. Very very accurate. 👍👍

[@chrishafkenscheid3089]

Many thanks, Chris. Truly appreciate the "over-kill".. Love it, and will make it :) Aussie, Aussie, Aussie

[@BuiltByChris]

Thanks Chris, every now and then I try of over complicate a build. You only live once, after all. Cheers and thanks for watching. 👍👍

[@wandapiedra8973]

Thank you CHRIS for thinking about me when you made the drill jig. I will make one and name it after you. Thank you again.❤️👍🏼

[@BuiltByChris]

My pleasure Wanda. I hope you get a lot of use from it.

[@samtana6957]

Nice Job Chris, I'll definitely Make One for my work shop. good to have on hand for any centre drilling.

[@BuiltByChris]

Thanks Sam. It certainly is a pretty handy jig.

[@FixitFingers]

How cool! I can see other applications outside pens too as a utility clamp too.

[@BuiltByChris]

Thanks James. I never thought it would be handy for anything else. Thanks for the tip.

[@thomasherlihy8670]

Great design! I was thinking about making one for my home drill press so I could leave my purchased one at my office playroom (shop). Have you had any problems with blowout using your vise? I use a waste block in my purchased one and it works well. If I make your design then I may try to incorporate that as well. Thanks for posting your video.

[@SMee67]

Awesome centre drilling jig, mate. 👍🏽 Something like that will definitely come in handy for all kinds of needs. 👌🏽 Woohoo man, almost at 1000 subs! 🎉🎊🎉

[@BuiltByChris]

Thanks Bill. Actually worked out better than I expected. I don't suppose you could subscribe another 50 times, could you??

[@SMee67]

@@BuiltByChris Looks like it works like a little rippa. 😉 Mate, if I could I'd sub another cool mill for you...👍🏽

[@gordonhill645]

Nice one mate, I'm off to make one now.

[@BuiltByChris]

Thanks Gordon. Good luck with the build and I hope you get years of enjoyment out of it. Thanks for watching.

G'day Chris mate and good to start my day with a ripper video tutorial. No such thing as overkill in my book, how often do we see stuff for sale that has been stripped down way beyond the basics so it only lasts a short while - built in obsolescence to make us buy another! When I had a pillar drill I had a drill vice that had a v in just like this which was good for metal but it would have crushed and bruised wood. This is ideal for the task and good to be able to clamp it firmly. If you made a separate moveable vice grip with a smaller v maybe that would enable you to drill small dowels which could be then cut crossways as spacers. Wooden washers so Dirk does not have to go round with a hat :-) While I cannot stand to work at my bench it is so good to see videos such as yours and Sumo's Projects, I enjoy seeing the process and I can almost smell the fragrance of the timber. Interesting to see a resin blank Chris - looking forward to seeing how you created that. By the way, the knot bullet landed in Dirk's morning coffee - I suspect it will end up in one of his pocket holes! Cheers and thanks for sharing, Eryk 👍🔨👍🔨👍🔨😃👌

[@BuiltByChris]

Thank you Eryk. I'm actually making a video about the resin. I'll be making some pen blanks, chopping boards and coasters using resin. Using resin has opened up a whole new world for me. Very exciting stuff coming up. Stay tuned, Eryk mate.

[@erykfreethinker7147]

@@BuiltByChris Really looking forward to those videos Chris, I am wondering if I can use the making and pouring of the resin for an idea I have. Hope there is a chance of a supplier of the ingredients in the UK. Not able to work at all at the moment but it might be another string to the bow in the future. I shall indeed stay tuned and watching for the notifications. Cheers mate, Eryk 👌👍🔨👍🔨😃

[@lynnbulger2732]

Nice job Chris,as usual,wonder could you review the incra ls table saw fence system when you get time please

[@BuiltByChris]

Thank you Lynn. Stay tuned, a review is coming soon.

[@berniesr]

Nice one

[@BuiltByChris]

Thanks Bernie.

[@jetrx8rew]

Great Video Mate ! I use an irwin mini vice which is a bit clunky, might make one of these :D

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Ouch - I never stand behind my cuts either. I also keep my guts a bit smaller for that reason buwahahaha. Nice that you car making projects for viewers! Can you make me a cup of coffee please. (I'm a viewer too you know 😉)

[@BuiltByChris]

How many sugars, mate? haha

[@christined.3728]

Simple enough, I'll build this and spend the money I saved on buying one on something else instead. Thanks!

[@BuiltByChris]

Thank you Christine, so glad I could help. 👍👍
