Pocket sheath for a precision rule

Jeremy has done a multitude of amazing things on this channel, but delivering the line "Isn't it uncomfortable to have six inches of wood in your pants?" with a straight face is by far the most impressive... 👏👏👏🤣

Six inches of wood in your pants...I laughed a little too hard at that. Great video, as always.

That debris clearing slot that's cleared by the ruler itself It's one of those moments when you lean back in your chair and say, "Dang, this guy is _good_ ."

JER, WHERE ARE YOU? WE ALL MISS YOUR VIDEOS!

Drop everything, a Jeremy Schmidt upload

Bravo to the person honest enough to show their mistakes. Lovely project.

Jeremy, my wife and I were talking about you last night and we agreed that we wanted to send you a word of encouragement. If your hiatus is permanent, that's totally cool. We want you to know that we very much appreciate what you already have done and how you have helped many people with your examples and instructions. I know I would be proud if you were our son. We do realize that having a following audience is not an easy thing. Keeping some distance from all of us at times is an important thing to do. We want you to know that we are praying for you and hope that God leads you on a path that is rewarding for you wherever that path takes you.

The explanation of how so much thought and trial and error goes in to something that at first glance appears so simple goes a long way to explain why artisan products cost more than mass produced vacuum formed plastics. Heck, I'm not even a joiner/carpenter/cabinet maker and I want something that beautifu-nctional so I can E.D.C a precision rule. Wonderful video produced by a skilled yet humble person. Regards from Scotland.

Excellent video. I love the attention to detail and the fact that you showed your mistakes. The finished product is a really beautiful piece.

I was eating dinner when my phone went off. I'm not allowed a phone a dinner time but my wife said it's from Jeremy. I dropped my knife and fork and cast the vid to my tv. As usual, the vid is superb. Thanks for all your hard work.

This video was amazing. The quality of your work is ALSO amazing. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.

If you want to bend a tighter radius in titanium, just heat it with a torch first. You'll have to clean off the oxidation, but it works like a charm.

Jeremy what a great watch. You make very entertaining videos. To see you progress through all your attempts was very inspirational. What a great piece you have made. All the thought gone into something seemingly so simple has made a great product. You are going places for sure.

after nearly dying of laughter just after 4:03, I had to pause and scroll down to the comments.

Enjoyed this project, Jeremy enjoyed watching this all come together thanks for taking the time to share this with us. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

Hey Jeremy, I love all the little technical finesse that goes in to this object. That's real beauty to me. Keep it up!

Great great video, the redo a classy move, the thought and detail, excellent, never a disappointment, Thanks Jer...

Quality craftsmanship... Love the channel !

I love things that are practical and pretty. What an awesome piece, and amazing to think how much development and iteration goes into something that seems so simple on its face.

Thanks again for great content. I learn a lot when you include your mistakes and how you recover from them. The explanations you give for what you do are also really valuable.

I’m so glad to have you back. Please keep the videos coming.

Jer, you’re such a perfectionist, and it shows in the quality of your work and product. Awesome as always!

Everything from a 2 ton steel circular bench to support a vise to a wooden scabbard for a ruler , all done with extreme skill. Nice job Jeremy.

When I first found you I binged and watched everything in one go.. so I’ve been waiting and hoping you would add more soon. I really hope you can get to a point where you just make videos all day because your channel is absolutely perfect. Keep it up my man 🤙

Missed your content and your humor! Great video man, please keep them coming!

i hope again to see more regularly video's from you, always a joy to watch and too learn from you

Very nicely done. Thanks for the troubleshooting info. I appreciate that.

This feels like a "please take my money" moment. But seriously I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat if you sold them. Convenient ways to keep rules, combination squares, calipers and marking tools at hand are in short supply and are game changers.

This is great! So useful. So well done. The curve, the cleanout hole... Fantstic details. The minutia matters! Thanks!

Love it! Design by practical use! Well done! Love the detailed instructions and reasonings.

Again, very ingenious. You are a clever man with a real knack for teaching and a very cool sense of humor. Thank you for sharing both.

Glad to see you back! And with a great idea too!

It's beautiful! Congrats on another fine build! Sending lots of love ❤ from sunny 🌅 Arizona 🌵

I accidentally came across your channel and think it’s awesome. I’m new at woodworking and your videos help a great deal.

Please do make the PDF plans! Also, I really appreciate how you show all your prototypes AND how you recover from any mistakes you've made. Thank you for another great video!

Cool project. Thanks for showing the development process.

Amazing video. I love your attention to details and being honest when things don't go right.

Another clever design with a lot of thought put into it. Thanks again Jeremy.

Nice! I have my dads rule from the 50's, its 3/4" wide, use it almost daily.... on the work table. It never entered my tiny mind to build a sheath. Great idea, fantastic project. Thanks for your vids, you have wisdom (and patience;) way beyond your years.

Almost 20 minutes doing what supposed to be a simple project and, still, is worth it every minute; not to many people can accomplish that. Thanks for sharing !

I was so excited to see you had posted a new video. What an excellent video! Thank you for posting.

Enjoyed the video, Jeremy. Very well done.

I appreciate your honesty and willingness to show your mistakes. It not only prevents me from making that mistake, it gives me confidence in that if I do make a mistake, I'm not the only one!

Nice man just nice. Interesting to see your iterations and hear the thoughts pros n cons. Good on you sirSir! 😁 Blessings abundant sir, Crawford out 🧙‍♂️

Was totally glued to this video man well done. Beautifully simple end product.

Wow! I'm so impressed by the iterations!

Excellent work Jeremy!

Thank you so much Jeremy for this video. It's really informative. You have just given us lot of experience from those mistakes that you have shown. The technique that you use and the details that you care about is just compelling. Good luck

Super fun to watch, I really like it. Good work.

Jeremy, you are an artist !!!

Excellent piece of work

Even though they're few and far between, I really enjoy your productions and projects. Thanks for sharing.

nice to see such a nice video of you again thanks for it

Great and amazing video as always, Jeremy!

Wholesome and educating. A real "solutions person". You cause a smile, that go beyond the face. Good to see You, it's been a while. Thank you Jeremy.

Very nicely done Jeremy! And as other have noted, I LMAO at the wood in the pants remark!!

we miss you Jeremy, hope you haven't given up on this your videos are fantastic and your work is second to none.

Jeremy, dude, you made my night ! A new upload in such a long time, and that (un)intentionnal joke about the 6 in of wood in your pocket. Still laughing.

Wohoo another video! Love what you do!

I totally agree with you on the 6” scale. Never leaves my pocket when I’m at work. Use it dozens of times every day.

Props for the Chris Reeve folder. Back in the 80s I wanted one of his one piece hollow handled fixed blades more than I wanted Tawny Kitaen. That's a lot. Great project, sir!

Uau Jeremy this is such a high quality video. The evolution of the design, framing of the shots, your lines, jokes and delivery, pleasant music at the end, everything. Fantastic work. You're a king.

Awesome video and a great idea for something else to add to my already full pockets! I also want to thank you for including the mistakes and showing us the design iterations. It's so helpful for people to understand that these things (designs) rarely come out right the first time. The trials and errors and the learning from those are so helpful and most of the time (from other sources) we don't get to see that and miss out on that part of the process. A great lesson to anyone who aspires to design something.

Awesome work Jeremy! 😃👍🏻📏👖👊🏻

Love the project and also the food grade finish. Because I have actually used my 6 in ruler as a fork to eat ravioli's with it .late night at the shop you have to improvise. Lol keep up the good work glad to see you backv

Great job Jeremy. I keep one of those in my front shirt pocket on a pen type clip but it's constantly snagging and getting pulled out of my pocket. I like this a lot and am definitely going to have a go at making my own. Super impressed.

Great video 👍 it's great that you include the mistakes and show all the prototypes - it teaches younger viewers that perfection takes time. Also, an EDC that I have used for 20+ years are precision tweezers called "Uncle Bill's Silver Grippers" they are good as is, but I sharpen the tips by using a small screw and nut to hold them closed while I grind them to a sharp point. Learned the hard way that metal splinters are tough to find and remove.

Miss you Jer. All the best for you.

Hey Jeremy!! It's amazing that I clicked onto your video about the 6" steel rule holder. I have had mine for a few months which so far is the longest time before it got too bent to use. So I ordered two more, (I have a thing for any ruler type instruments- (I know, weird lol) and they came in yesterday. So now I'm going through my scrap bin and I'm going to make myself a sheath too out of purple heart. As always, great content.

Very cool. Nice job. Great craftsmanship.

Well done! And I like the investment in a quality instrument!

Good job ! you have a great mind for technical ideas ,keep it up ! best of luck.

You have done a TON of experimentation on something I didn't even know I needed...until now. ;)

Yay! A JS vid! The craftsmanship shows off again... Love the dry humor. Great to see you, hope everything's well!

Love your art Jeremy, greetings from the UK.

Good to see you back!

Amazing work and great video - as always 💪👍.

you surprise me each time with your original ideas bravo

beautiful piece of art !

Great job mate 👌🏼

Nicely played, Jeremy. Well done.

Great job. Very educational and hilarious as well.

Awesome! Your attention to detail is superb & you’re ability to design and combined esthetically awesome form with super functionality is honed to a razor’s edge! I would have never considered the brilliant simplicity of a using subtle S curve as the holding mechanism... I would have just used a magnet.

The mind of an Engineer never stops. Well done Jeremy!

Ya era tiempo Amigo....About time my Friend.... Keepem coming J

Very nice idea, very nice video. Thanks and keep on trucking

I love your videos, i learned many new things and they inspired me to repair and build. Please do more youtube videos.

Thanks for sharing the failures too, they're often more of a learning opportunity.

so good to see you back . . .PDF plan sure, but I think you should be selling these!

always so good Jeremy!

GREAT video; thanks for including the mistakes, because that is very helpful as well.

Wisdom comes from experience, and experience comes from mistakes. Great videos Jeremy, keep them coming.

Well done, persistence is a true virtue.

fun to watching your videos your always coming up with something new

Cool man! I love the attention to detail! I have a klein technician pouch that I use as a back pocket protector. I keep an olfa knife, a 6" adjustable wrench, knipex pliers, a flashlight, pens, pencils, sharpies, and a 6" combination square. I started wearing it at work then I started reaching for my wrench all the time so now I just leave it on all the time. I went to an estate sale today and my wife told me to leave the pouch so I did. At the estate sale I found a sweet vise bolted to a table. I couldn't unbolt it because I didn't have my pocket tools. The moral of this story is CARRY TOOLS EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME! also I found a wrench and got the vise it's a 3" Hercules made in Canada!

Anyone else praying on everything this man will release another video? I will stay subscribed for ever.

This is great. Think I will make one for my son, he just got hired as a machinist apprentice. Also, very much appreciate you showing the mistakes as well, so much more inspiring than thinking things always go perfectly for the “professionals.”

Great to see the process and mistakes and mixes. More entertaining and I think more educational as well.

@Jer_Schmidt Your videos are always so informative and educational. I really appreciate your precision and your jigs and templates. Just an idea, you could do a series on measurement, desiong and jigs and templates. Teach us how you are able to build with such quality. THANKS!!!

I have a block of beeswax I picked up for waxing string I use for various things. I used it as a finish by heating the wood with a heat till it was hot enough to melt the wax, and then just rubbing it on the wood. It worked out very well!
