Hello everyone! Thanks so much for checking out our channel, and welcome to One Way To Make.
We are here to learn and teach different ways to make things, most of our content will surround woodworking and woodworking related subjects, but we will occasionally branch out into other types of making as well, our intentions are not to teach the fastest, best, cheapest, or only way to make something but just one way to make it. We're always eager to learn new processes and learn from our mistakes, please feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts, get subscribed so you don't miss new videos, and like and share the videos you enjoy so we can grow and share the information and encouragement to all who are interested. Thanks again, and enjoy the videos.
Planers do not make wood flat! Jointers make wood flat. Planers make wood parallel to the opposite face. If a board has twist, cup, or bow, it will still have twist, cup, or bow and be smoother and a little thinner.
Head assembly (that also hold the rollers) will lift a little when the wood hits the first roller, then lifts more when it engages the 2nd roller…and vice versa as it exits the planer. You can not remove snipe completely. Bigger machines have the rollers mounted separately from the cutter head so it doesn’t rack. Also, instead of the head assembly moving up and down to adjust height, the table moves so all the other parts that matter don’t move, and even then, you still get snipe sometimes (but almost no existent).
This is exactly what I want to do with my laundry closet- same size, but still utilize it as a laundry closet with cabinets and shelves. Do you think this layout would still work? I hate the closet header. It makes it so dark.
Having a longer reference surface to add additional infeed and outfeed support is a decent start. But the real issue with snipe is caused when the board is in contact with the first roller and cutting head, and when the board is in contact with the cutting head and second roller. If you really wanted to totally eliminate with you would need a longer reference surface (both infeed and outfeed) and additional rollers all of which are coplaner with with the internal rollers. that would ensure the board is always held with even pressure throughout the entire cutting process. The problem with that approach is you would wind up with a planer the length of a jointer.
It was the drop of sweat for me. We’ve all been there. If you aren’t sweating over your work, I want your shop because that means it’s air conditioned. 🤣
I made a set of these. I did as you did and used 3/4" stock. The base part does not need to be that thick. 1/4” MDF would be my choice. One time i used 1/4" plywood and the cheap crap warped. MDF won't. Would need to use paint or something. Also, if you adhere coarse sandpaper on the bottom, it wont slide easily.
One tip that might be overlooked, definitely use a carpenters pencil when marking for sanding. The thicker graphite won't get down into the grain as much and the graphite is usually a bit softer. I've made the mistake of using a very fine drafting pencil for this task and not only does it get deep into crevices, the lead is very fragile because of how thin it is. I do use it for darkening lines made with a marking gauge.
my brother i respect the time and effort and progress you have made in the last 8 years but for love of all that's holy, please add some 2x4's to your workbench to make it sturdier. watching it wobble pained me, and i dont imagine it made it easy for you. it doesnt have to pretty, my workbench looks like dr frankenstein made it, but it would take you a good 20 min you to destroy it with a sledgehammer. look forward to your next video.
@@NickRollzBrown Interesting, what code are you referencing? What law? I’m assuming your thoughts are that’s it’s unsafe? I’m definitely open to way to be safer if you have any to share. Either way thanks for watching!
@@NickRollzBrown thanks so much for your honesty, I really respect and appreciate that. I’ve definitely got a lot of improvements to make on my wood working and safety, but improving is the fun part. Thanks for subscribing as well, I really hope you enjoy some of the other videos, I’d love to hear your thoughts on them. Best of luck out there!
