Easy to follow your instructions. I'm just brushing up on my joinery before I fit some new oak doors. I have some bad habits . I start back on track with your tips and using that pencil. 😉

I love your videos. As a woman on my own I have lots of repairs to do in my house and your videos have helped a great deal. Thankyou

You are an excellent teacher. I am 70 years old, (former teacher) grow food and am building a hoop house in my garden. I've never hung a door before and my hoop house has one at each end. Thanks so much!

This was such a great video, thank you DIY guy! This is Nadine and I am on my 5th house remodel. I've never tackled hinges before but with your how to video, I now have the confidence that I can do it! I may be too late for the drawing but I am not too late to subscribe to your great channel. Thank you!

I am fitting a couple of doors for a friend shortly and the tracer pencil would come in very handy indeed and an addition to my tool kit.

Thank you for making this video. It was clear and your instructions are easy to follow. I have suddenly found myself alone and have not learned skills like this because my husband always did it. Your video has been very helpful! 👍👍

Great video, my father is recently retired and I’m keeping him busy with loads of DIY jobs about the house. We’re always losing pencils so the pencil with a clip will come in really handy for him! Currently renovating a bathroom so will be using it to frame out a bath panel.

Excellent video explains a lot more than I actually I know.there Is always room for improvement. No more stick in the hinge on the door I will get myself a depth gauge

Hey I’d love the Tracer! My youngest daughter asked for ideas for something around a tenner she could buy me for Christmas, and I sent her the link for a cheap Chinese carpenters pencil. It’s horrible! The lead is thick & clunky, and in no time the propelling cap flew off. Waste of time….. so I would love this as a replacement. I’m helping out my nephew convert a van into a camper… so one of these would be ideal for reaching into al those awkward spaces!

[mattgoddard]

Really helpful. Thanks loads. Clearest video I've found on this. Can you make a video on how to fit the door side of the hinge on a new frame?

[oladapoafolabi]

I like it. I want to do some repairs on my door.

[balaburov]

Thank you for the video. Please would you tell me what is the usual gap around the internal door ? e.g. between the door and the floor?!

[BenG]

Moving house in March and have already started expanding my toolbox. That pencil would be of massive use over the usual school like ones 👍🏻
