A near‑identical clip appears on YouTube titled “I Turned a Drill Into a Wood Cutter” uploaded by Pratical Work on March 10, 2026; that upload lists about 8,585 views and labels the clip as “Part 2.” ( youtube.com ) A separate channel, Tips Handy, published “Amazing way to make a wood cutter from an electric drill” that shows the same approach and has attracted roughly 3.9 million views in its posting cycle, indicating multiple creators are sharing the same hack. ( youtube.com ) Pratical Work has released follow‑ups in the same series (Part 3 and additional shorts), signaling the creator approach has expanded into how‑to sequels and refinements rather than a single one‑off clip. ( youtube.com ) Comments and adjacent uploads have spawned step‑by‑step jig and guide videos, including simple drill‑guide jigs and multi‑jig roundups that reflect the “cheap jig” conversation occurring in maker communities.
