I love your content, even the boring bits.

[@StephenRBlack]

I really didn't need to watch that, I just really wanted to. So soothing.

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks.

[@VORONM]

Very good idea, James, very good!

[@sylviaapperley4966]

I love the idea. You could probably put a back on one side or at each ends so that when you put the lid on it travels better.

[@adelheidsnel5171]

Beautiful james!

[@EricLind77]

I think a way to attach the lod to the bottom would be a great addition. Particularly if you would use the lid when travelling. You don't want to lose that

[@Noah-qi3ct]

Beautiful!

[@Musicpins]

I actually went and ordered the 11piece bit set, not regretting one "bit" haha! They are great! All I regret is I didnt get the 1- 1,5 inch bits too!

[@sylviaapperley4966]

Thats very nice!

[@Hudson4426]

Awesome job! Funny thing is I was just designing something similar last night... I wanna make a tool cabinet with a vertical “drawer” that holds the auger bits. But that drawer can be removed and set on the bench. You gave me some ideas, thanks

[@WoodByWright]

sweet! sounds like fun!

[@Adams-wq2ze]

I don't know why I thought of this, but maybe on the bottom of the bit set. Cut a circle out with a hole saw. And put the piece back in so you can twist it so it makes a leg so it doesn't fall forward or backwards?

[@kennethspeed2019]

Interesting video. I have quite a few old auger bits that badly need some TLC and a new case. I don't see why I couldn't adapt this to square shank bits. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@WoodByWright]

That would be fun. maybe make a tapered top or base to match the graduating length.

[@karl_alan]

I love your thoughts on oak and walnut vs maple and walnut. I am of a similar mind, finding similar, but different combos.

[@davidclark9086]

Good design.

[@munecaeburro]

Thanks for the video. I’ve been looking for bit holders for a while. I felt dumb because there’s nothing decent out there and I thought, maybe everyone is leaving them in the drawer

[@bepiisboy2911]

Great video

[@willieboggs7799]

Very nice!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing that

[@WoodByWright]

thanks for watching. and congrats on first!

[@SkyForgeVideos]

Looks good! Just messaging to point out that you could have done the stepped design like the others, if you stepped the depths of the holes. I have a bunch of old bits, but I'm thinking I'm going to do them in some kind of folding/tool roll. I like the idea that someone else suggested of adding "sides" (maybe in leather) to your design. Either way nice job!

[@scotthutson736]

Nice work, James. If the cap is only to protect the sharp ends while traveling, why not just make a box to fit over them and have it sit in a rabbet around the top of the base? This would serve to protect the flutes from getting dinged as well as the cutting edges.

[@WoodByWright]

the problem is with he tight tolerances on those caps it would be almost impossible to get them all into their caps.

[@scotthutson736]

@@WoodByWright I don't think I was clear enough in my description. No worries. Have fun with those nice augers.

[@chrishoesing5455]

@@WoodByWright I think by "cap" he meant the wooden top you made. He meant you could make a lid out of wood like a 5 sided box that fits over all the bits and goes all the way down to the base, instead of having a place for each bit in the lid. You could add a chunk of foam in the lid to keep the bits from jiggling around during travel.

[@cactikev9685]

When will the jars of used head razors be available? Great project!

[@WoodByWright]

LOL I like that one!

[@robertbertram1416]

I like your vids. Question, why are you not using a shooting board for your end grain? Just curious.

[@WoodByWright]

Sometimes I prefer to just freehand shoot. It's faster and doesn't require me to set up the shooting board. If it's just one board I usually do that. if it's a handful of them then I'll bring out the shooting board.

[@jlmfoy365]

Bloody hell James did you take out a third and fourth mortgage 😂 to buy all those bits. Regards Jim UK.

[@WoodByWright]

LOL something like that! don't tell my wife!

[@jlmfoy365]

@@WoodByWright I won't, promise.

[@notumbusbumbus3871]

Love the project. But watch out for that leather - it appears to be kip, a bit thin and also a somewhat loose flesh-side structure. I would use a 3-4 oz latigo for both better strength and better elasticity. (Worked with leather for more than 40 years.) But now I know how to build my own holder, so thanks!

[@WoodByWright]

Yup these are just temporary patterns. I talk about that a bit more in the how to version of the video. It was what I had lying around the better stuff will be coming in shortly. this is the leather I use for clamp faces and vice jaws.

[@zaferozcelikel5711]

❤️

[@rasitot]

interesting idea. what is that finish in the jar?

[@WoodByWright]

Homemade boiled linseed oil. I have a few videos showing how to make it. I also talk about the application on the how to version on the other channel.

[@The_Shiny_Red_Dingus_of_Mingus]

I was curious about one of your techniques. Does clicking your jaw to count saw strokes actually help? 2:32 2:52 3:23 4:17

[@WoodByWright]

LOL lots of people have wondered why I chew my tong. I never notices I did it tell I started shouting videos.

[@thomaslamora1679]

why do you take your wedding band off and put it on the boring bit? what if your wedding band is too tight to remove?

[@WoodByWright]

that tells me if the bit is level. I can see side to side but level is hard to tell with out it.

[@genebruce6321]

"A bit too boring" - ISWYDT. ;-)

[@robertspeer]

The lid being separate makes it easy to lose. Maybe lid that nested under the base, OR a second set of slots in the straps to strap the lid to the base while I. Use so it does not wander off.

[@WoodByWright]

that is an interesting idea!

[@batman7035]

Along with this idea, place the lid down first and put some more holes in the leather where they match up with the base. Although it will be very tall.

[@cccxxxxxx]

James why not tap that hole for the brass knob?

[@WoodByWright]

i did not have taps on hand for that thread, but I did have the wood nuts. so I just used what I had.

[@BostLabs]

"Its a bit boring" Boring... Hah! Laughs in Auger. 🤣 Ok, Boomer's attempt at modern humor aside, I just came across a Craftsman Bit and Auger brace today on eBay. Not a bad price either. I look forward to the day that I'm just as boring as you. 🤣 And followed up with Dad jokes! I kill me.

[@SkylersRants]

Nice job, but I’ll, um, pass on buying your wood curls.

[@mikeking7470]

I hear some of the cooking channels are selling potato and carrot peelings.
