Thanks for stopping by my channel! I've been a full-time woodworker for over five years and have been a craftsman most of my life, now mainly specializing in heirloom quality "tree-to-table" furniture. While a lot of my content is focused on tips and techniques I've learned over the years, I also like to showcase the process from start to finish, as well as some tool reviews/comparisons I feel people might find useful.
As always, feel free to reach out with any questions, thanks! -Matt "Visionary designs, handmade to outlast."
@@Mpire09 Clearly you've never used this setup and very little (if any) experience with chainsaws or you wouldn't leave such an embarrassingly ignorant comment. Run along and kick rocks.
@@OverkillWoodcraft looking to buy this blade myself, but I will be getting the one for aluminum. Been doing my research for a few days and I think im going to try this diablo blade out. The 100 teeth configuration seams to be the trick for clean cuts
@@masonmansitomargiela1399 This one works for aluminum too, and yeah it leaves super clean cuts. Takes a few passes for thicker hardwood stock but it still works great.
You noticed that...🤣 Nah, it legit took maybe two hours. I just ADHD'd the idea the first day when I only like an hour of time to work then wrapped it up the next day. Thank you though!
I have a sander this would've fit through, but it would've taken hours since I had to take quite a bit off this to make it flat. I ended up using this drum sander after the epoxy though.
This is faster when you have to remove bigger layer+ router jigs arent destroyed so fast as sanding paper. But sure, this can be done with sanding planer, normal planer etc if you know how
Great little shop and nicely presented. I like your comment on the ability to make great things without having expensive machines and tools. I’m a prime example. I’m a tool and die maker for over 50 years ( retired now ) several years after completing my apprenticeship I started my own wood shop. I made a lot of kitchen and bathroom cabinetry as well as speciality furniture. I had a tiny little 8 table saw. A Craftsman radial saw. Craftsman 6 inch jointer and 14 inch Craftsman band saw . A dinky 12 inch planner, a 6X 48 belt sander and a drill press. Somehow I managed. As the business grew I was able to get more nicer equipment. Bought several pieces at auction. Point is it’s great to have all the wonderful pieces of equipment but a true craftsman CAN make chicken soup from chicken shit! My total investment initially was less than the price of Saw Stop saw alone. Enjoyed your video. Good luck with your new shop.
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback! Awesome story too, was glad to hear it and obviously I couldn't agree more. Someone actually commented on one of my other videos recently and assumed I bought everything with my parent's money, which was funny to me. Fancy tools definitely help, especially with efficiency in some areas, but like you said they're not needed. Here in the next few months I'll finally get around to filming a tour of the new shop...once I'm done paying for more fancy tools with some commission work haha.
@@OverkillWoodcraft thank you too for your reply. I’m close to doing my first RU-vid video on my hobby shop. I have mostly metal working but a bunch of woodworking stuff. I have several things that cross over. You can’t cut metal with wood tools but you can cut wood with metal tools 😉
@@Lwimmermastermetalart Of course, sounds like a good shop! Metal working is something I'm slowly getting into...Wish I was able to spend more time on it but the end goal is to have my garage set up as a mini metal shop.
@@OverkillWoodcraft I wish you much success. If you’d like any help with suggestions or anything I’d be more than happy to help. Hopefully you’ll be able to watch a shop tour of my shop. Getting real close to trying it. Somewhat concerned how it will go and just how many ppl will watch but nothing ventured nothing gained ….right
@@Lwimmermastermetalart I appreciate that, and I'd be glad to watch it. Just sub'd so I'll know when it's out. That's exactly it though, I was a little nervous about this one and it's my most viewed long format video 🤷♂️ haha.
You f'n joking right now? First, I'm not from cali. Second, I grew up dirt poor. Everything I own I earned by working for it, which sounds like something you don't know much about when you make ignorant and salty comments.
Nice, and yeah I cut wood with it several times. Mainly 3mm ply, but it does great and usually in one pass. Can only cut certain colored acrylics with a diode, and there's tricks for engraving clear with a diode. I haven't tried it with this laser since I ended up getting a 40W as well, but I'm sure it could cut 3mm black acrylic no problem. I mainly like using this one for fine engraving though, which I feel it's amazing at.
I was wondering how I was going to deal with scooting my vanity over because the drawer door opening up hits my door trim, now I know how to deal with it, thank you!
The kid whos perfect thats arguing about kickback...lol. some people..i did tree work for 30 years.. kickback is 100% operator..just like a car accident.. let the expert make his video for f%$@s sake
Seriously, thank you! You should've seen some of the comments I had to delete...Never encountered so many flawless chainsaw operators until posting on social media lol.
😂 Yeah it honestly might be my most shown tool. It's a CS-590 with a 24" bar, I've modded it a bit though. Swapped the carb and starter coil for the 620 model, muffler mod, etc.
@@OverkillWoodcraft nice! We close on our 10 acre property this week and I'm looking for a new saw. Trying to decide between the big 3 brands. We plan on felling, bucking and milling... pretty aspirational for no experience right? 😂
@@installsandpitfalls Thanks, and congrats on that! Seriously awesome. Not at all, totally achievable and you'll love it! I only had experience felling before getting this property, investing in a good saw was well worth it!
@@OverkillWoodcraft I probably overthink purchases like this. I was looking up and down all the lineups. I might just go with echo considering it has a 5 year warranty. Was really leaning towards the ms261 but just not sure. Anyway, great channel!
@installsandpitfalls Overthinking and overkill is good when it comes to tools 😅 But yes the warranty is reassuring even though I've had zero issued with mine in the three years I've probably overworked it. Thanks!
Thanks and sorry for any confusion, but yeah that and the title are accurate. Adding a filing cabinet lock, and yes in certain instances this same method can be used on metal drawers as well. Would just need to use metal drill bits instead and different fasteners, of course.
@@sterlthepearl1000 I said "bits", plural, which it could be done with instead of using a step bit. But hey, whatever works for you. Bet you're tons of fun at parties...
Hahahah I’d HATE MYSELF if I was doing this for real. As a fun little side project, sure. I’d try it, ONCE. That’s probably why you’re laughing though, huh? Cause you’re thinking the same thing FML no way!
Oh no, I was laughing because it was my first time doing this and seeing the results had me all jazzed up 😅 I love doing this, do it as much as I'm able too. Saved me probably $10K in lumber already!
Thank you. After turning the knobs I marked then chiseled out a spot for a 1/2" hex bolt. Added some 2 part epoxy to them to make sure they stayed put 👍🏻
