(For Brian's benefit, it shows how to make a DIY "multitool" saw from an angle grinder. Just using an angle grinder, stick welder, vice, and a couple of spanners with a little help from a dremel)

I'm always waiting in these DIY videos for the industrial CNC machine with plasma cutter all the Americans who post on Youtube seen to have in their man sheds. The videos are often titled How to make X, Y or Z for $2.5 (but needing many ten of thousands of dollars in tools to do so).
I quite like the project, but yeah, ouch! at the abuse of the digital calipers...
For Brian, the abuse of the callipers was in using them to scratch "cut here" marks on the work, after using them properly to measure the appropriate distance. He did this on several occasions. It's as bad as using a micrometer as a miniature G-clamp ;-)
In reality you can buy budget digital calipers for under a tenner these days - not precision instruments, but they do have hardened jaws!
If you have a popular youtube channel, then the marketing departments of many high end tool vendors will normally be happy to "sponsor" you. :-)
Having said that - lack of CNC means the project will take longer and require more work, not that you can't do it.
This was sort of the direct opposite of that. Very few tools but a lot of man-hours to make something that most of us in the more civilised world would consider to have a trivial cost.
Having said that - the performance of his was quite impressive. Probably not surprising given the AG starts with 3 to 4 times the power, and he has a wider arc of rotation than the normal tools.
(vibration may be less pleasant though)
