Very VERY rarely do I spot a true game changer, revelation type tip/innovation on YT. Its a fantastic learning platform thats informative and inspirational - but occassionally you get an OMG moment and this is one of those. [took 6 yrs to stumble on it but that too is a YT thing, the infos out there...] Now I know why I kept that old metal deep fat fryer! THANK YOU so mcu.

[@Jimmy-sb3fc]

You, Sir, are a GENIUS!!!

[@DanPRC]

That's a smart stand/holder! I'm building a styrene trailer top for RCs and that would've been very handy! Right now I'm using various obstacles around the house to hold things in place. Lol!

[@paulhennessy5627]

I so need one of these... off a tinkering I shall go!

[@IgorDeFaye]

Simple yet so useful... Thanks for sharing.

[@joshmarkobb4513]

Wow that’s Awsome! Thanks for sharing that’s much easier than fumbling around with clamps and straight edges

[@geniuscrash66]

Built myself one of these, a great piece of kit.

[@monkeywrangler5200]

Found some good metal to try one of these myself, thanks for posting it.

[@42DontPanic]

Simple but brilliant and high effective design great stuff

[@KS-wt9gj]

Very cool. Thanks for the tips, I’m going to start a styrene RC car body finally.

[@nowvalleydiorama885]

Fantastic idea, thanks for sharing with us.

[@yellowbird2279]

Brilliant Idea, I'm definitely going to make one of these. Thank you.

[@rccrawler70]

Without a doubt it is an excellent tool.!

[@vegaskatus]

Very cool. I can see it being handy, though I don't do a lot of work right now with styrene.

[@ldc71960]

Now that' tool is as handy as a shirt pocket.. I do a lot of sawmill scratch building out of styrene.. Thanks for the tip.. Gonna build one for myself !!

[@occamsrayzor]

Very clever and useful!

[@CaptainFutureman]

Well thought out, thanks!

[@geniuscrash66]

Pretty good idea, thanks for sharing

[@Dirks_NUMA_Files]

Now that is a freaking cool idea.

[@MoreDakka101]

I like it and can see where it would be totally useful

[@TinkerTerrain]

The piece I used for this came off an old filing cabinet someone was throwing out. (What can I say? I am a terrain guy, I look at other peoples trash for treasure!) The finish is a powder coat, so it is very resistant to scratches and is very smooth.

[@northernfreelance5788]

really great tool

[@daviemaclean61]

What a brilliant idea! I'm off to make one right now and stop messing about with miniature clamps

[@szlash280z]

Brilliant!

[@thysvandenbos1324]

Ingenious!

[@daoage7993]

I love that very much

[@walperstyle]

Very innovative.

[@brentbryan1563]

Just found this; Straight up GENIUS!!!Please keep making these tutorial videos. They have been incredibly useful and inspirational. Thank you!

[@alaskanfrogman]

very ingenious tool. Something you should have perhaps kept to yourself and patented, then marketed. The application potential for something like this are huge!!! Now that the secret is out, anyone and everyone can make them, and someone might profit from it... too valuable and too much marketability factor for something like this. Your generosity is shall we say, too much. Thank you for sharing. I'll make and use one of my own.

[@edhorst7212]

Thanks for sharing, where does one find key stock kit. Thanks

[@rickbeam2325]

Interesting the Key Stock n Magnets ides will build nice Square n True Model car Batteries n other Type Boxes for my Automotive builds very use Disposable Solo 12-20 oz used/Repurposed Coffee Cup lids as alternate plastic source. Along with a Super Glue & Baking Soda Fiash Drying Hardening Trick this s Alternative plastic use I also use Various Sized plastic Straws in lieu of Styrene Commercial Rod .. Small coffee straws one inserted inside another makes Realistic Shocks cudtmizable to length w Sequens n paper Clip/Straight pins added for Bayonetta tip ends. Thanks Great Tip

[@thecollectorfive]

An amazing idea. Do you know what type of finish is on the metal?

[@foreckbs]

Awesome tool! Using your video Ive gathered together something similar. The only thing I havnt figured out yet is attaching the metal to the board. How did you do it? Im thinking about using hot glue, but im not sure if that would leave the metal flush against the board. Thanks!

[@mailperson]

Where do you get the coated metal?

[@111steverino]

So would I use this technique is I was to build a large sleeper for a semi truck cab.

[@racefan32]

I have one of those 'Touch & Flow ' tools, but can never seem to work it right? despite following its directions.

[@royalfolkspark]

👍🏆

[@bayutrismienantha2830]

i love this , i want to make it but i dont know where can i find metal surface in my country indonesia

[@ars5047]

I know bro!It is sometimes very hard to find things used in youtube videos in some countries like mine too.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

You sound just like Bob Lazar!

[@Kabul81]

Jigidy jig?🤔 Jman👀

[@robertaugust7425]

I see you haven't made a video in a long time. Is there a new channel your working out of? I find it a little disconcerting when KZbinrs just disappear. Did he go the way of The Last Star Fighter?! I hope he's ok...and just got bored making videos. Good information anyway...

[@garysnelson8119]

Patent worthy
