i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.

[@archerzahir7545]

@Mohammad Castiel Instablaster =)

[@mohammadcastiel3901]

@Archer Zahir Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@mohammadcastiel3901]

@Archer Zahir it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out !

[@archerzahir7545]

@Mohammad Castiel no problem :)

[@duskfinger6799]

Throwback to the video that introduced me to your channel over 2 years ago. I've loved every project since. You sir, are an Artist!!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you so much Hugo! I really appreciate that. Take care, Carl

[@tonymontgomery1033]

Thanks for the "How To" Carl. My wife has informed me that I will be making one of these. Looks like I will be watching this video and your other video a few times.

[@CarlJacobson]

Lol! I'm sure she will love it :)

[@wakelywanderer12]

I referred back to this video way too many times but my first Cryptex is working smoothly and was lots of fun. Looking forward to doing a quicker job next time. Thanks.

[@CarlJacobson]

Very nice, I'm glad the video helped!

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Brilliant little project Carl. Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you buddy!! Cheers!

[@alansimpson596]

Thank you Carl for a very interesting upload. I have a fascination for Cryptex so i was looking forward to this video. Best wishes, Alan.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Alan! Please share some pictures if you make one :) Take care, Carl

[@viiiineb00m]

Sir, you do beautiful, excellent work! I have learned so much on turning from your videos. I thank you so much for all your instruction and ask that you please keep sharing your great work!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you so much Ryan, I really appreciate that! Take care, Carl

[@ralphklein9042]

You are one of the best woodturning worker of the world.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you so much Ralph!!

[@ralphklein9042]

You are one of the best.

[@frankhiebert492]

looking forward to the DVD Carl, thinking of making Christmas Gifts for the Kids.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Frank!

[@dougrummells905]

Great video. For Q and A, would you consider discussing which woods are easier to work with. For example, I was making pendants with palm and found that it kept fracturing. Thanks in advance.

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Have you tried anything other than turning with palm. I found a log about 2' long and 12" across that's been sitting on the side of the road for about a year+ here in the Sacramento, CA area. Been wondering if it's usable for anything before I waste my time milling it down to usable boards. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Doug! I'll talk about some of my favorite woods to work with in next week's Back-To-Basics

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Cool project . Well thought out and it looks great . Take care.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Glen! Take care, Carl

[@dougrummells905]

Kyle, I've not tried much as I've only been turning about 6 months. I believe part of the issue is in the finishing process. I'm trying to design a jig that I hope will help (and by jig, I mean attaching oak planks to my chuck, turning a relief hole that will allow me to grip the pendants better, we will see). I have some rosewood and olive wood on stand by.

[@CarlJacobson]

It really is a fun project, and Rosewood or Olive would be great.

[@lylekobberstad8571]

These are so cool, had never seen one until yours. Very informative video, as usual.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Lyle!

[@JackmanWorks]

WOW! I see why this took so long. Super impressive

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Paul!

[@PaulLockwood]

Excellent as always. I think I have a long way to go before I can get that precision, but a joy to watch.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Paul!

[@gunterschone8402]

Beautiful Video Carl. You did very well Explains

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Gunter!

[@Mauroiltornitore]

Following your old video and some magazine article, last month I've made one; I will upload the video in the next weeks... Cheers and thanks for sharing. Mauro

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Mauro! Very cool I'm looking forward to your video. Take care, Carl

[@tompalmer334]

not the run of the mill game nor turning, I like the way it works always up for a brain teaser you did real well Carl I liked the way you finished the project

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Tom!

[@MARKBaid]

Pretty cool Carl. Thanks for sharing Mark

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Mark!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful, one of my favorite projects of your! Thanks for sharing!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Steve!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

It's Dimitris! :)

[@TAG-1984]

Very interesting Carl, i need to watch it some more times to understand it fully :)

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Thomas! I think it looks more difficult than it really is.

[@yuvallahav]

Excellent!! I'm trying to gather some materials (mainly stable wood) so I could make me one of those (I'm saying me, but once the kids see it, it's going to be theirs...), but I have a special place in my heart for anything mechanical so it's only a matter of time till I take the plunge. Thank you Carl for sharing those tips and tricks, they will come on handy!! :) Yuval.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Yuval! I'm sure it'll be great when you do make one for the kids :) Take care, Carl

[@MarkMcCluney]

Such a lovely job and an excellent vid. A real pleasure mate, thanks for sharing.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Mark!

[@JimsonMakes]

Great video Carl, really well explained. Cheers, Jim

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jim! I have some Milliput headed my way :)

[@johnaurand4090]

+Carl Jacobson it's awesome

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

That's pretty rad, thanks for sharing! 🤓

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Lew!

[@rroe5718]

Nice job Carl. Since the video goes kind of fast through things, might there be a written plan anywhere? Always wanted to try one of these.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Robert! I'm working on a DVD, and I'll be doing an Instructable.

[@rroe5718]

Thanks Carl, keep us posted on your upcoming new video on the Cryptic procedure.

[@opasworkshop8373]

U the man Carl great job

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Opa, I got your sticker too :)

[@Gixie-R]

You've done that before. lol Good job, im gonna try when i get the right timber.

[@CarlJacobson]

lol Thank you! A good straight grain hard wood works best.

[@jacobzimmerman9092]

Very cool project I enjoyed it, I recently bought some green sycamore spindles on accident thinking they were dried. I am planning to make Christmas trees with it and I was wondering if it would be better to let them dry out or if I should turn them green. Thanks, Jacob

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jacob! I would seal the ends and let them dry.

[@lukecasey9874]

Nice job and were do you get your wood

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Luke! I picked up baseball bat blanks for the inner tubes. The other wood I've had for years.

[@evansheehan9258]

This would make an awesome family heirloom. I mean the physical cryptex was made official in what, just over a decade ago? This would be a pretty sweet thing to pass down.

[@neleabels]

Great work! I'd wish, I could do stuff like that!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Nele!

[@leksey7870]

Interesting and beautiful thing. Like!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much!

[@lucasisawesome37]

Great work

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Luke!

[@finelarme]

Hello. What claw brand do you use in this video please ?

[@CarlJacobson]

I think you're talking about the chuck? It's a Easy Wood chuck

[@finelarme]

@@CarlJacobson Yes sorry lol. Perfect, thank you !

[@CPerry-yq1fj]

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you :)

[@silviodallapozza3394]

My Dear Master and away Carl. Thank you from the botton of my Heart for is latest video Cryptex. Aber Sie Sind of Swedish origin? We live so far away, to far away......... ......... .......Passione Tornitura.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you so much Silvio! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Take care, Carl

[@jenniferstandish8613]

How long does it take you to complete one? This looks like a great gift.

[@CarlJacobson]

They take about a day to make!

[@CharlieHamilton]

Cool project!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Charlie!

[@gravesbroderick]

What did you use to finish it? I've been making wooden rings and I'm looking for durable finishes for them.

[@CarlJacobson]

I would use something like a polyurethane for rings.

[@gravesbroderick]

Carl Jacobson Thanks! I also tried Tung oil and that worked pretty well!

[@LaurentSparksMusic]

Zaco Cast i ditto the polyurethane or even acrylic varnish. it adds like a thin layer of plastic and you get a really nice finish!

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent... Cheers...

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Adam!

[@trevorhall9524]

fascinating

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Trevor!

[@scraplichfield994]

How do you change its password?

[@johnaurand4090]

I would like to show you some of my work. Where do I send the pic's?

[@CarlJacobson]

Hey John, Here's my website, thewoodshop.tv/ or my email, [e-mail]

[@KE4YAL]

Interesting

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jerry!

[@discam0]

What's the name of the song playing throughout the video?

[@discam0]

Thank you very much.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Nice project, very complicated though. With all those tubes and exact measurements it would be easy to screw up.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you John!

[@leebell1983lh]

hey like your videos. Can you make one that you can change the password. so it's not the same word. have some smart kids that can remember passwords. lol

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Don't we all. They can't remember to do their homework but can remember a code they shouldn't even know. Lol

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you LeeAnn! You can make different codes work, but there's no way to change them. I'll talk about it on the follow-up. Here's a link to my Q&A channel just incase you don't have it ;)

[@willemkossen]

I like these, but i am not going to attempt it any time soon. Too many things to go wrong.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Willem!

[@TSCLoLReplays]

Should of randomized the letters, complete words one after another would be to easy to crack but great craftsmanship.

[@dth91]

saying should "of" renders your comment irrelevant

[@dth91]

Alice's Chair go learn grade 2 english, dumbass

[@virusinstall9658]

I have dyslexia and thought his shirt was advertising a strain of marijuana called "Yorkshire Grit"

[@virusinstall9658]

shitposting aside, this was really cool as always, man! keep up the good work. also, idk if you are familiar with what they call "asmr" but basically I love watching raw, unedited lathe videos for that relaxing feeling it gives me. as awesome as these quicker, slick videos are, I'd love to see you release a raw, start-to-finish type video with all the noises and stuff. I do realize that's not what gets you 100k subs, but I have to mention it since you're such a master

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Viru! I do release longer videos on my Q&A channel, but there's still some editing :) Here's a link, kzbin.info I'm also doing a full length DVD for this project with minimal editing, that will be up on my Etsy store soon.

[@ddb14022003]

Dear Carl Jacobson. I am a really big fan of your work and I really want to make a cryptex to, but I don't have tools for that. So I wonder if you could pleas make me one and send it to me, you probably won't. But if you will do that for me pleas react and I will give my email. Thanks for this video and have a nice day.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much! I do sell them my email is [e-mail]

[@shannoncooper3298]

nice work one day I'll be that good I can't get on your fallow up video channel help please

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Shannon! Here's the link, kzbin.info
