    Jimmy is good. I've learned a ton watching his videos.

    fishingpol made me one from saw chain and is way cooler than any of those. Thanks again Jon.

    He's ruining all those good tools when he can open a beer with a rock if he wants to.

    Thanks- some good ideas (especially the axe) for hanging a bottle opener by the fire pit or wherever one tends to crack open a cold one.

    He is amusing to watch.

    Anyone know what that square file tool was at the one minute mark?

    Also what type of cutter was near the end? Small plasma? That looked real handy for cutting light gauge steel.

    That's what I was thinking, especially when you consider most bottles have screw caps now a days. He's turning useful tools into worthless junk at an alarming rate. ;)
    His videos are well made anyway. :yes:

    Yeah- portable plasma. Available in 110v but the one we have in our fab shop is 220 and blows holes in structural steel up to 3/4"..... I liked using it when I started out on the shop floor years ago....
