Tool maker for 47 years, I'm old... very very old. Enjoy your videos a lot. My hands were constantly grinding, filling and polishing for all those years. I have great admiration for everyone who makes their own tools. Very relaxing for me to watch you work. Think you! Sincerely Walt. 🕊👍

"move aside, peasant, while I make your eyes redundant" is an amazing sentence

Amazing! You deserve way more subscribers!

"Going to make this in the shape of Sgt. Pepper .... don't really know why". Actually laughed out loud dude! Great tool make!

[Mattebodra]

Maybe adding some thin rubber feet to Sgt Stalin would make him more stable while you switch from the lens to the steel punch?

Me skips forward in the video a little bit...
Me: why is he making a small bust of Stalin? I should probably go back and watch the whole thing.

2:33 Man.. if only you had some sort of optical center-punch to help you with that. Maybe you could make one?

Love this guy. Just the right amount of humor, modesty, and information. Keep it up!

"Stalin" classic. I love your videos. I really needed a smile today and as usual you're the one that always delivers. Thanks.

“...that I totally didn’t cut off something else”. Loads of laughs. I remember Yellow Submarine. It was a cartoon movie and the Artist was Linda McCartney. Good show.

I save your videos to watch on days I'm feeling down, because your creations and attitude always make me smile

[IanSebryk]

i love how you make tools that are not just klonks of metal but have character and beauty. thanks Uri. :D

[SwitchAndLever]

How have I missed this channel before? This stuff is awesome! See you at Makers Central next year for sure!

[MrAlan]

Could watch you work all day Uri, Brilliant work.

Regarding the angle you ground on the point: In my experience, those are _usually_ ground to be the same angle as the tip of the drill bits you're using. This is so the bit gets as much cutting surface area as possible - it also helps keep the bit steady. Excellent build!

[angelowentzler]

You always put a smile on my face, Uri. Thank you so much!

I love the sound when you quench it around 5:30 . it's like some sci-fi weapon!
