This man is an embodiment of what makes YouTube great

As a welder I had a good chuckle at the line: “I’m not an expert in stainless steel welding, but I’m pretty good at grinding!”

Max, If you ever pass through California, I will buy you a beer and give you a couch to sleep on. I really appreciate you going out of your way to record all your adventures and share them with us, and then to translate them into English.

I just finished making one of these, I even put the wooden insert and everything. That was honestly the hardest part for me. I’m very happy with the way it turned out and great video!!

And today on the list of tools I don't know existed but suddenly need

"Close your eyes, I'm going to weld". LOL, you don't know how many times I've instinctively looked away from welding videos.

If Tom Hanks would have used this for his raft, Wilson would still be with us.

I recently discovered this channel, and my God! this man is impressive! People like this are so inspiring. I'm so grateful that YouTube has given me the chance to learn from amazing people like this.

Ok Advoko I must tell you my story, I was going to make this too right off but..... well it did not happen. So we raise a big garden and I have a greenhouse. I turned water on this year and it leaked, Broken fitting. So the Covid makes impossible to go to the store and buy clamp. Then I remember you used as a clamping device on hose so I reviewed your video, Then I made a suitable clamp after scrounging around. I used it and it worked perfect, so good now I shall build the delux model as you have. A profound Thank You! It was so nice to impress my wife too!

The reason the wire clamps stay tight is because the wire is strong enough to absolutely prevent the wood underneath it from expanding, and the wire never gets near it's yield point. It should stay tight until the wood literally rots from beneath it. Very cool video!

This thing is fantastic. I aim to make one of course. Here in Sweden,in the good old days, people would travel the country (by bicycle or on foot often) with a few hand tools and a long spool of wire, making numerous useful objects to be pedalled from door to door. I have a small collection of such items now and Im always on the lookout. I think the reason the clamp doesn't become loose despite the wood shrinking when drying is because it is "pre-stressed." The steel is stretched beyond its normal length so any srinkage will allow the steel to shrink too, as it attempts to return to its unsprung state. The strinkage in the drying wood clearly never exceeds the shrinkage capacity in the steel wire. Cheers Max!

easily the most positive, multi-talented, entertaining dude on the planet.

“The ladder could easily carry the combined weight of my body, my heavy thoughts and this wet roll of sod” - pure poetry my friend. I’m a boat builder and your videos are some of the most inspiring and entertaining I’ve seen. Incredible work and attitude.

"This ladder is strong enough to carry my weight and my heavy thoughts..."

I seriously couldn't be more proud of this guy. I was happy to find this video so I could see where to purchase this tool, and he actually crafted and polished this gem. UNREAL! I guess I need a workshop! I am seriously super proud of these accomplishments!

"I'm not an expert in stainless steel welding, but i'm pretty good at grinding and polishing metal." I've heard an old mechanic say "A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't." There's a lot to be said about being good at finishing work.

Friends, thank you very much for all your support (your watching, liking, commenting, sharing). The channel wouldn't be approaching 200K on its first anniversary otherwise!... It just happened that The Clamper video was published exactly a year later. I am glad it is that video indeed because I consider my clamper to be one of the most useful tools I have in my shop, yet most people probably have never even heard of it... Hope this video will be both informative and entertaining. It has fresh drone footage from my log cabin camp and a few of my projects you probably haven't not seen before... Again, thank you for your support: both moral and financial!! Max

that tree climbing scene might have been the most epic real life scene I have seen on youtube
