To be fair to the tire depth gauge, if you're needing 1/64" accuracy, you're not a woodworker, you're a cellulose machinist, and your projects can never leave the climate-controlled environment they're assembled in. ;)

One of my favourites is a combo of dollar store craft foam and double- sided tape. Use the tape to stick sandpaper to the foam - I typically cut them approx 2" × 3" unless for something specific. These are great for sanding small or tight areas where you would probably otherwise just grab a scrap of sandpaper and try to fold it to give it some substance, only to have the paper getting frustratingly crumbled before the grit or job is done. This way is easier to grip, flex into and around spaces, and lasts longer. You can also use a permanent marker to write the grit on the foam.

For mixing up just a little bit of epoxy, the best thing I've found is something you had in the video. Just flip a Dew can upside down and use the bottom.
@JangoBunBun
Home depot sells husk brand verneer calipers for $10, as well as a WEN brand digital calipers. A cheap set of calipers is great for a hobbyist woodworker or somebody just starting out. Checking hole depth, ensuring interior measurements, or checking the size of parts will save you SO much trial an error.

Best idea of the year. 1-2-3 block in nominal lumber sizes. Brilliant.
@EvanSamuels
You don’t need to take the wheel off to change the blade on the Olfa. Just loosen past where it catches on the body. At that’s how mine works.
@bobcouncil8205
Being a retired Tool and Die maker I used 1 2 3 blocks a lot in making dies so I dragged my blocks out and started using them for woodworking as a hobby. They do come in fairly handy in fact I use quite a few of my Tool and Die tools such as squares and measuring tools. But my woodworking skills aren't nearly as good as my machining skills were. Keep up the great videos.

Kudos to the way you've merged your sponsor in here. One of the only sponsor breaks i didnt skip so far and i know youtoube from its beginnings
@buckyV
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned a 5-in-1 painters tool yet. As a carpenter, that’s one of my most used tools! Great for scraping, prying, chiseling, or, y’know, painter things too probably
@stuartgray5877
I have had MANY "Stud finders" in my life. Recently I have just started using three small RE magnets. Find three screws and find the "best fit" plumb line that aligns with the three magnets and you know you have a stud.

I spit my drink when you fired that shot at Lowe’s 😂

Right after your video, I found a Woodcraft store about 15 minutes from my house (I must have passed by it 100 times). What a great store. I'm glad I saw your video.

The best feature about the Pentel pencil is that when you retract the tip and then re-extend it, the lead stays at the previous position so you don’t have to click until you get it where you were using it before. This might seem trivial, but it’s great if you are holding something and don’t want to look away to set the lead extension to where it’s usable.

Well, if you like the Olfa box cutter, you absolutely must try the Milwaukee Fastback. Within 30 seconds, I knew Milwaukee had something special. I love it BTW, I love your energy and content. Great job Sir. Cheers from the Frozen North. 🇨🇦
@cornfedtuber
Your 1-2-3 block is much used by machinists, which I was. Generally, they are ground to w/in .0003 (yes, 3 zeros) tolerance. When I retired, I started wood working and still found myself using them. (We usually had at least 4-6 of those blocks) If you set up 3 blocks instead of 4, your part will level. Also, you can put screw caps or hex bolts into the threaded holes and make adjustable bases for your work piece. Lots of uses.
@panfull
bare with me here. A simple plastic sleeve folder. I do my plans on sketchup, a cut list on the side. print it. and add it to the folder. dust doesn't get in and it keeps water out.
@randallthomas5207
I use a “cow magnet” to find screws and nails in drywall. They are 1/2-inch diameter and 3-inches long, rare earth magnets. They put them in cows stomachs to keep nails and bits of fence from coming up with their cud.
@mlhse111
Literally have had my greg multi-mark forever and didnt realize you had a slot on the back for the 45 degree angle. So much for reading the instructions i guess. Thanks. lol
@GeeDeeBird
I didn't think I had a suggestion, but it turns out I do! You - and many of us - use the little Dixie cups for mixing and pouring small quantities of glue or paint or whatever. But, when you need to mix a small amount of epoxy, you simply cannot beat a plastic spoon. Used in conjunction with a toothpick (or one of those coffee stirrers, the bowl provides the perfect shape for mixing and encouraging the catalytic action. Grab one out of the back of your utensil drawer (from the last time you got take-out) and give it a try!
