Would any of you trust this? I feel like I want to but just couldn’t.

I feel like someone could try proving to me over and over and over again how accurate it is but I still wouldn’t believe it and use a tape instead.
I feel the exact same way. Feels like something you would see at state fair by the hot tubs in the industrial ag building.
I don't think I would trust it, but I am old school. Does it have an adjustment to measure inside corners??
Good deal on this today:

I hate you, JP! I wish I wouldn't have clicked on that... Now I have to decide if I want to be upset (not buying it) or if I want the other adult in my house to be mad......
Decided to replace my old work bench. Big drawers>>> shelves.
One more...made a new cutting board for my wife for one of her Christmas gifts. Simple, but I think it turned out OK. You never know for sure until you put the finish on!
The connector pieces add up so plan it out first.
I bought some 4” “flex tube” from the Woodsmith Store that was absolutely worthless. It was so stiff it was unusable so I ended up having to go on Rockler to order some.
Beyond that, I use a shop vac connected to my system because that’s what I have room for. I think most people can get by with a decent shop vac and a separator.
Gates for each run helps a ton.
Something like this is cool for the stuff you use the most.
iVac Dust Collector Switch Box
Automatically turns your shop vacuum or dust collector on and off when you turn your power tool on and off.

Did you ever get this figured out? If you are in DSM metro, I believe there is a community woodworking shop available for things like this.
Starting to finish up my moms kitchen face lift. She had golden oak cabinets that were still in great shape. I distressed them with black glazing, changed out the cabinet hardware, added a new sink, back splash, and range hood. The counter top is an epoxy dirty pour using diamond dust, pearl dust, white, silver and black metallic powder. Turned out pretty nice.
No, I didnt. I was going to ask Woodsmith store if they had any ideas or way to cut them down. Do you know or have a POC for this??
There are a lot of videos and sites that would be better served than me on this. But without getting into too many specifics, I used 4" PVC with 45's instead of 90's for the turns. Use blast gates as much as possible, I made mine.
A lot of glue! Ran everything through my jointer & planer for the first glue-up to get the tightest joints possible.
Took a bunch of time with featherboards (table saw) for the angled cuts to get as tight of joints as possible again. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how the joints turned out.
I felt the amount of surface area for the glue didn't require any biscuits, dowels etc.
