I just ran across your Workmate videos and they've inspired me to pick one for myself. The glue is drying on the frame I've built for the casters and the assembly supports are next. I'm going to make mine 26" long. What length did you make yours?
I'm going to pad the supports with the material that "Make Things" recommends in his "grippy" video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9EL_ey7uSAw.htmlsi=c602W6IHB8RGx4ky
My brother, I have a problem with my scooter. When the speed reaches 45, the alarm goes off and the scooter turns off. Do you have any solution to prevent it from turning off, or a video clip explaining the method, brother?
First of all, thank you for this video! I feel like I just had a crash course in plane adjustment. I bought one of these planes today because I thought what the heck? Its a $13 (2024) plane. As soon as I got home I opened the box, inspected the tool and went to RU-vid and stumbled upon your video. I believe “Windsor” Design may have also seen this video. 7 years later, my blade is square and straight and quite sharp. I’m going to use a fine stone and strop on it just to fine tune it. The base needs flattening, so thank you for teaching us how to do it. I saw another video and the craftsman said this type of blade adjustment is popular in Europe. So maybe this plane has visited Windsor? Anyway, my only issue is the grip. I have big hands and long fingers and find the grip a bit dainty. I’ll probably make a slightly beefier grip. If i do I’ll make a video of that project. Thanks so much!
I like the caster wheels. They add functionality. For the rest of your "improvements": you are not using the original bench for what it was meant for other than as a base for them. You are lowering the capacity of the bench. It would have been better to build a strong base incorporating those improvements. At 5:30 you have to step on the base because you exceeded the capacity of the base. It seems that you are not using it properly.
For the price you paid for that el shipo plastic things that is no alright 350 English pounds I make one my whit aluminium and stainless steel’s easy why this company robe the customers china do better lift is this company call HONGDUI which make a table saw fence very very well made check that I don’t have exactly the reference but my friend go one 👍
Great ideas here Marty, I have 2 workmates that come in pretty handy, love the auxiliary top idea ! See you haven’t posted in a while hope all is well…
Ordered and just received a couple of these Blue Spruce butt chisels for detail work like dovetailing. I like to grasp the chisel low near the cuts for control. Bench chisels, being long by comparison, tend to give me hand cramps in preventing wobble. And butt chisels fit comfortably in the palm for other work. Like the way the steel is shaped and machined for getting into tight spots. These are pricy but of highest quality.
Thanks for this video. Thank you to youtube lol. Saved me a bunch of money by looking to see what kind of drive pully there was and there was none, just like my vacuum. Who knew. I just about threw this vacuum away but this video saved me.
Thanks for sharing. What a versatile setup you created. Would be cool to have a woodshop and skillset. Hats off to you guys keeping these skills going.
Thought I would look up you oldest video 🙂 Well a lot of interest in the Moon these days, I myself spent my entire career on a Satellite Earth Station which is now very much involved with the latest goals in that direction. My Surname is Ridge (so much for the title). No sign of an EUC anywhere, 10 years too early perhaps. Who bought the pooch? A big dog you would need some space. Pity you're not in frame anywhere, that could have been fun - fashion, haircut something.
Many thanks Marty. All my life I've been frustrated by this problem and have struggled on with half-baked solutions. Your solution is simple and elegant. Thank you.
Nice going, Rob Cosman is gonna be unhappy. His Woodriver planes take that long to setup at 20x the cost .The # 33 plane. is also smaller like a Stanley no 3 or 2 size
зря ключ выкинул. Может быть случай, что ушки барашковой гайки будут мешать, тогда ключ придется достать. Например, нам сейчас нужно отрезать пилой, часть профиля (40*2) под малым углом 8,5° .
I’ve been looking at buying portable workbench for a while. Many new types on the market but after watching this video I’m going to buy a new black and decker workmate. Thank you.
