I made this ruler stop

[@mattsadventureswithart5764]

Nice to see this being done by hand. It takes me back to having to do all the hand filing and cutting work, despite all the machines designed to make do exactly that, sitting right there teasing us all with their power off ;)

[@imadethischannel]

Haha, I remember those days as well! I still like doing stuff by hand more, though!

[@kinnikuzero]

3:50 I'm sure you know this by now but a little heat from a lighter usually loosens CA glue

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, thanks! I have been told many times since uploading this video:) it‘s good to learn from the community!

[@darrenpowell7110]

Competent bench fitting skills, good job.

[@nickmuravievsmusicpage]

Good idea to make a locking screw on a side! That worth to try...

[@squiremc]

I suggest using heat to soften the superglue and then acetone to remove the residue. Very nice work!

[@marcosvilardi2085]

Just made this one today. Cut some corners by brazing the pieces. Works like a charm and saves me from using the large and heavy square for small jobs. Thanks!

[@davidjames1007]

Nice job, good to see someone using hand tools. These skills are invaluable and being lost in the 1 st world. These days all CNC mills, lathes and cutters.

[@specific-solutions]

Superb, your simple tools and widely available reference surfaces achieve an eminently useful result. Your presentation is very clean, neat squarey thing you've made there.

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks!

[@Wood_Slice]

Thru the magic of editing cutting steel is effortless. Love it ;)

[@jamescole3152]

Also it would be nice to know the materials. They would be obvious to you but not everyone uses them. The pins looked like brass and the rest like low carbon steel.

[@imadethischannel]

Oh, didn‘t I write what the materials were? The body and the pins are mild steel. The screw is nickel plated brass.

I have a clamp just like that which went south on me a year or two ago. Great clamp. Can't seem to find a replacement. Thanks for the video.

[@Georges-MILLION]

Belle réalisation ! Bravo ! Beautiful achievement ! Well done !

[@luckys1evin]

Small suggestion: I would've used medium strength thread locker on all the mating surfaces, to really weld the individual parts together.

[@imadethischannel]

I actually tried to get the mating surfaces as clean, smooth and flat as possible and was secretly hoping for a bit of solid state diffusion. Not sure if that's realistic though.

[@WideAwakeHuman]

I always forget about threadlocker for things like that... Great use for it

[@BluuurghAg9]

I never really worked with metal and will probably never be on your level, and I also don't aspire to do so. But I've seen a few videos now, and I love it. This seems pretty doable for a starter project. Being a woodworker I already have some of the tools you use here, including a diamondstone. Would a small project like this be doable, or am I underestimating the effort here? I am asking this with the fullest respect and appreciation for your skills.

[@imadethischannel]

I think it is absolutely doable for almost anyone. It took me a few attempts to get it right, too. The more specialized tools you have, the more efficient your work becomes. But if you have the patience, it can be done with very little.

[@kristofpucejdl]

Oh great... another channel that I simply have to subscribe to :D When am I supposed to get my own hands dirty when there are so many great videos out there! Jokes aside, fantastic content. Great pace, wonderful shots. I don't know where you people just come up with spot-on production... Also I rerally like how you show that great results can be made with limited tools :)

[@jebonniemonton2087]

I do have a project similar to your work, but I add a marker so everytime you slide the stopper it also mark the point you want to cut

[@randy-yk1yk]

My only concern is even stainless will nick from that thumbscrew. When you run a marking knife along it, well it's your knife. Mine has the screw hitting the center of the ruler.

[@imadethischannel]

The thumbscrew is made from nickel plated brass. So far it hasn‘t left a mark.

Is that a geiger counter or radiation survey meter I hear clicking away in the background? Heard it most of the entire video and that’s exactly what it sounds like. Are you monitoring background radiation in your area? I don’t mean to be nosy… I’m a nuclear enthusiast and one of my passions and hobbies is collecting geiger counters, and searching for radioactive sources to add to my collection.
