Yep, plenty of vids of c channel getting ripped out from wood movement! I have learned you have to router 3/4 square tubing inset in the table it will never move again!
Fantastic work, thank you for the run through the process! I am making one out of chainsaw milled birch for my wedding in 3 days, I hope it turns out close to yours ahahahaha.
Thanks for the video. How well would you say these compare to the Festool Granat? I just recently tried the 80grit Granat and have really liked it so far. They last way longer than the Cubitron xtract. So I’ll be using the Granat unless these are just as good then I’ll get these serious grit since they are cheaper :)
I was going to ask in the previous video about staining/sealing the c-channel and I see you went in the best you could... the deep legs appear that you did not try an coat them well as the top of channel where the thread inserts are. How is my observation? I am ready to seal my own table and am looking at how much I need to seal the C-Channel areas
I have a Chevy Cruze and I'm wanting a truck (it's currently November of 2022) I don't like how low to the ground I am and I also will be going into HVAC soon too. My father says it's a bad idea to get one but still looking for advice.
Looking sweet can't wait see that once it's up in action. If you need advice on kilns look at out the woods here on RU-vid Nathan has sawmill and runs kiln aswell he seems no quite bit info on it. 🏴👍
Thanks it’s coming along, I’ve seen some of Nathan’s stuff, definitely good info. The kiln we are getting is pretty innovative too, so it should be exciting.
Nice break down of stuff for what to do. Not something that's done here in UK unless small independent guy with a mill any trees can't go to big mills everything needs a ticket style thing here all for traceability. Think for slab boards though can be profitable for the Sawyer and the buyer though. 👍🏴
@@3brothersmillworks721 there getting bigger over here there is more of us working with them. Not many sawing them but it's certainly getting more popular no were near how big it is with use guys and we have no were near the quantity and quality and different species u do which is annoying 👍🏴
What would u recommend on how high would u go up the grits on live edge table without resin? Love the dark water pop as it were take it that's just a wood dye and what do u think to beeswax and Danish oil as a finish? 🏴👍
Thanks for the support, for what grit to go to the, answer depends on the finish you are using as well as the feel you want for the wood. Many finishes won’t adhere properly if the wood is sanded over 220 grit. For my tables I usually go up to 150-180 but I know people who prefer 120 because the wood feels more natural. The wood dye is actually a powder pigment I use for epoxy coloring. The client believed that the dye would be too harsh of a contrast. As far as beeswax and danish oil, I can’t say I have any experience with it. You could reach out to the manufacturer of the danish oil and see what they think. You’ll have to try it and let me know.
@@3brothersmillworks721 no worries thanks for that that's kinda what a thought just wanted professionals opinion. A got up to 400 paper but will use that for specific things. I've done Danish oil finishes on tables and my whole sycamore kitchen is finished with it but never done wax finish just wondered about your thought but I'll see what a can come up with let u no. Can't wait to see next videos. 🏴👍
What about material removed? I have a lot of end grain boards to sand and do have a lot of that Serious Grit I bought a while ago and do like it but need to remove as much as possible as fast as possible, debating on buying some 3M Cubitron as I’ve seen that is the best but no one ever test it vs Serious grit because no one’s heard of it- wdyt?
Thanks for reaching out. I haven’t tried the 3m product although I hear it is good. I might do a head to head test. I hear the 3m product is good at not getting clogged up with dust. I don’t know which would be better with material removal. The only problem with the serious grit I have since found is that the backing doesn’t hold up very well to sharp or uneven surfaces, that may be something to consider. Other than that, try and use a powerful sander and lower grit of sandpaper.
@@3brothersmillworks721 yeah I’m looking into better sanders now too- I had bought the 5” Bosch about a year ago because it was very highly praised on here and online and it’s very smooth but not powerful at all - it’s a very slow sander but great for finishing or smaller projects
Nice to see people actually taking pride in there tools not something that happens often enough these days. I granted don't do it after every run but at least every second one some of my runs are small which is why only 2 but deffo if it's a heavy run its blown out properly cleaned! Great video 👍🏴
The mill is due in August. We bought a Hudson 52” capacity bandsaw mill. I ran a 661 on a four foot capacity Alaskan mill over the last year but I have too much volume of wood and not enough time for the Alaskan mill to handle.
@@3brothersmillworks721 awesome can't wait see it. Yea must say the Alaskan is slower deffo long term I would love big bansaw mill but not got the capital for that now. Maybe one day. Were in the world you doing your work?? 🏴👍
Not done these with pallet wood persay and cherry is nice wood over here they use spruce pine for pallets here. Made some boxes recently for my garden out of what we class as 2nd grade rough sawn over here stiff that normally would go to chipper 🏴👍
Just found your channel bro watching my way through your channel. Think a see what your doing and all about but can you give us a run down on what u guys do and were your based. 👍🏴
Thanks for the support! You’re definitely right that we need a video to give an overview of our channel. That video is in the works and coming soon, stay tuned.
That’s a great question. The table saw does have markings on it but the markings on mine show the distance from the center of the blade to the fence, so if I use them I will be a 16th of an inch off. I could just account for that when I set it, but I also trust the accuracy of my tape more and sometimes you figure the wrong number in your head and you can make a lot of mistakes if you’re accidentally off. So in short, I could use the saw scale but I feel better if I’m not using it and I make less mistakes.
I'm enjoying your videos, no in your face trendy rubbish just good techniques and projects that sell. Thank you. It always surprises me when I see people buy a slab of Aussie Eucalyptus for $50 to use as a cutting board.
Thank you very much for the support. I try to keep the channel geared towards adding value to my viewers while also moving quick enough to keep interest. I don’t think you are alone in being tired of the rubbish.
Great video, I'm just starting my DIY journey on wood. I'm researching building a floating wood plank behind my TV. I would like to use joining wood. Thank you for the detailed information.
They are made by a company called pony jorgensen, Bessey clams are also very good. The style of clams are called “bar clamps”, I think Pony Jorgensen calls them cabinet master clamps.
Thanks so much, you’re right that most pallet lumber isn’t good for much, we were very lucky to come across a pallet made from cherry thanks to Iroin lumber out of PA. that made the pallet from cherry.
That's just your 2nd build vid and the quality look like you been doing this for years.. You got my attention all the way, excited to follow your journey
Nice shop sounds peaceful around there especially with the birds chirping. I just ordered the festool ETS 125 req and a assortment pack of this serious grit. I see you posted this couple weeks back is it still favorable after using it a little bit longer?
Yes, our shop is in a wonderful spot. That’s great that you ordered a festool, they are great tools. So far I still like the sand paper, the only thing to watch out for which I have since learned is that if you are sanding rough edges and corners the backing tears easier than my previous sandpaper, so be careful with that or you can mess up the sanding disk. Other than that, no complaints.
@@3brothersmillworks721 yeah I think for now its gonna be mainly a finish only sander or at the very least use my Dewalt RO for the dirty work, but I have a feeling once I use the Festool Im gonna be hard pressed to use the Dewalt much
Yeah, I think the festool is hard to go back from, the power difference is big. I bought a Bosch RO to compare and I can’t use it because it is so much slower.
