Our Back-to-School Special: A DIY School Supply Multi-Tool

As we sat down to start our back-to-school special, Evan exclaimed, "We're really good at that," and proceeded to remove his glasses. Katelyn and William Osmond, our hosts for this tutorial, smiled at each other, indicating they were excited to share their idea with us.

Katelyn picked up a large multi-tool and began measuring it against the camera lens. "Forty point six inches, whoa! This is way too big," she said, laughing. William chimed in, "I know, right?" and suggested using a jigsaw to cut down the size of the tool if needed.

After some deliberation, Katelyn started cutting the side panels off the multi-tool with a laser table saw. "We should bolt the tools to it," she said, as they began assembling all the pieces together. William took over, starting with the ruler and expressing his excitement about the finished product.

Katelyn pointed out that some of the tools were actually engraved backwards, causing her confusion. "I like the screen being on the outside; it works," she said. As they continued to add more features, such as a calculator, pencil, fidget spinner, and USB stick, Katelyn noted that this wasn't just about practicality but also about being cool.

As they worked, William mentioned that technically, you could recreate this multi-tool with a band saw. However, he believed that making it themselves made it more special. The process was starting to get unwieldy, and the group realized they needed more spacers, which they quickly cut out using their laser tool.

Chelsea, a student in Katelyn's class, walked into the room, holding the finished multi-tool. "I'd be concerned," she said, chuckling, if I were you." The group laughed at this, happy with how it turned out.

As they continued to work on the project, they realized that using every single spacer they cut was a challenge. They had to get creative and adapt their design as needed. Katelyn exclaimed, "This works really well!" as she tested the scissors and calculator together.

William suggested assembling the tool and then purchasing what they bought. This approach allowed them to see how all the parts fit together before deciding on any final purchases. As they finished up, William asked if they should be proud or ashamed of their creation.

After calculating the cost of materials, which added up quickly, Katelyn said, "Let's tape it when we get back." The tool was now functional, and as they tested each feature individually, the group marveled at its sleek design. They had created a unique school supply multi-tool that would make anyone jealous.

As they worked on adding final touches to their project, Katelyn mentioned that using glue from an old notebook helped seal the pages together. She joked about needing a friend to use with this tool, and William chuckled in response.

With the tools out in full force, William exclaimed, "Fidget! Actually it seems like a job for Cameraman John," referring to their cameraman, who would be capturing the project's final reveal.

As they worked, they received an unexpected visit from another friend, who was eager to see what they were working on. The group had created something truly special - a functional school supply multi-tool that not only met but exceeded expectations.

In the end, they decided to name their creation the "Back-to-School Multi-Tool." As they celebrated their accomplishment, Katelyn asked her favorite drawing to be used as the background for the video. The resulting image was of an old scary lady, who looked eerily familiar to Katelyn.

As the project neared completion, William suggested turning off the lights and using flashlights instead. This created a spooky atmosphere that added to the overall sense of fun and adventure.

Finally, as they tested each feature individually, including their new laser pointer, the group discovered how many ways it could be used. "Let's calculate how awesome this is," Katelyn said with a grin. Using their calculator, they determined that their multi-tool was valued at over 9,000 dollars - but they knew better than to throw it away.

With their project complete, William and Katelyn decided not to take the Back-to-School Multi-Tool home with them. Instead, they planned on giving it to their cameraman as a special gift. The final result was truly unique and showcased the creativity of our hosts.
