Making 1000 Custom Knives

There’s a big difference between making a single custom knife and cranking out a thousand. Maker Matt Estlea takes us through the painstaking and repetitive 12-step build process for each of his wood-handled marking knives. He put the knives up for sale on his website, but they appear to be out of stock at present.

We’re fascinated by the variety of machines you find in factories. This particular device is fairly simple – a couple of rollers and a spinning blade. But it’s the stroboscopic optical illusion that occurs when it spins up to speed that makes it so satisfying to watch. Somebody needs to turn this into an endless loop.

Just as you want to filter the rows of data returned in a SELECT query with the equality comparison operator (=), you can also create a conditional filter to test if 2 values are not equal to one another. Learn more in the following article.

In MySQL, there are 2 ‘not equal to’ comparison operators available:

  • <>
  • !=

Even though both of these comparison operators mean the same thing and work exactly the same, I will use the <> operator as it is supported by the SQL Standard and is used in other SQL dialects as well.

Typically, the inequality conditional comparison filter will look like this:

some_column <> some_value
