Wow, impressive. Where is the sponsorship from DeWalt, etc?

@Ari The video is brought to us via a “builder skills” blog which is run by a window/door company (their logo appears throughout the video). His skills are good, but this is already an advertisement.

Fake or not … it’s clever. But I do have to ask does he know how to measure with it, and that 6 inches is still 6 inches?

I wasn’t expecting this, but the thing that really tipped me off that this wasn’t real was the fact that the sound was too clear. The mics were too well-placed to have been done by a random construction worker.

There’s also a video of a worker chopping a piece of wood with a sawblade… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHGIwCHfESg purely fake for me…
