I am a retired sound engineer I used to travel with bands on the road this is not how you roll a cord a lot of people say this is the way they do it if you ever do the odd and even roll up you can hold a cord on one end even if its 100 ft cord and throw it out and there would be no tangles
Over/under method. No tangles, no kinks, cord lays flat. I can drop my coiled cord grab the end and walk away. If you don't know then you knit an extension cord. At least you don't wrap it around your elbow.
Please convert to the proper way to coil cords and hoses, my cords and hoses are so pleasantly pliable and pristine like the day I bought them. The OCD is worth it trust me.
@@TodaysCraftsmen Idk what it’s called. Someone else called it the over/under method? As to the slowness, it’s a trade off. It is slightly slower to coil but on cords that have been properly coiled it coils smoothly. What you gain are cords that behave nicely when you’re dragging out cord and whatnot. I rarely ever have to fight the cord/hoses. Plus as they age they don’t get hard and stiff with permanent kinks all over. On longer cords you can double up the ends and then coil. That makes deploying the cord real fast, you just grab the ends and toss the rest out. Join the cult.
LOWES doesn't have any stock to buy and Toughbuilt will not accept direct orders. Where can I buy your product?? Don't They understand that if there is no way to buy product, they will not make any proffit???
Cheaper to build it yourself. If building is even a consideration, most people already have the tools. It's not that complicated. The problem for most people is time. Finding the time to do it in a timely manner.
I’d say typically you’d be better off working and generating income during the time you’d spend building the shed. You can probably make more doing whatever you do for a living unless you’re a very well-rounded carpenter.
@@TodaysCraftsmen If you make 6k in less than a week, building a shed probably never even crosses your mind. Most sane people would build the shed on their off days. Some people don't consider working every day of their life a good thing. Building something with your hands can be a good way to relieve stress and bring balance to your life so it's not all dollars and cents. Like I said, finding the time to do it is usually the biggest hurdle as life does on with other obligations.
You’re demonstrating some amazing wrist rotation skills! Even if I mastered this technique, I still wouldn’t be able to suppress the urge to make one final pass with the planer perpendicular to the workpiece.
dam that’s planer needs some better dust collection. I use the little 12v Bosch and there isn’t a speck of dust hooked to the vac. Good video guys 👍🏼🤠👍🏼
Thanks Jeff! That rolling the planer trick is pretty cool. I usually use a table saw free hand, put a back bevel on it too and then finish up with my little block plane. I like the mag shims but they are way to expensive for what they are. Ill probably just make some wooden shims of different thicknesses.
Never done it with a power plane, may give it a try sometime. I usually cut about 1/16th wide of the line with a circular saw or free hand on the table saw, then get to the line with a sander or block plane.
Good video. I use that method on panels that need a small or lite scribe. But many times i have a scribe that is very deep or Intricate with swoops and waves. I this case i like to use a jigsaw and grinder. Using the jigsaw i cut and just leave the line and then come back with a grinder with a sanding pad on it and take the line. A back bevel is a must. This method is a little dusty but it is fast and precise.
I should practice this technique and I’ll probably figure out my answer, but gonna ask anyway lol something that’s always confused me about scribing is you’re removing material so wouldn’t that make the overall side panel smaller and potentially have a gap on the right side as well? Do you oversize the overall side panel that shim thickness? Thanks! -Chris
Correct! So say for an upper cabinet (if the wall was perfectly flat,) our panel will want to finish at 15-7/8” (15” cabinet + 7/8” door.) we would over size the stile that meets the wall so the panel is say 16-1/2”. Then we scribe off 5/8” to hit our finished dimension.
Great video, thank you. I have not sprung for a power planer - if you use it for other applications, I’d love to see a video on it’s utility and versatility, thanks.
Why do you bother with the vacuum? I think your fooling yourself. I did "like" the video as always. Keep on keeping on. P.S. I use a beltsander to really piss-off the homeowner. Looks like all your clients have a cleaning staff so it wouldn't matter unless the maid ratts you out.
I’ve watched it. MDF is tough to fully collect. Also scribing 1/2” material with a 3-1/4” planer isn’t the most effective for collecting dust. It would’ve been worse without the vacuum.
Great video. I like the mag shims, have to get some of those. I’ve been scribing with an electric planer for over 30 years. Just try to keep the heal of the planer higher than the toe so the blades are cutting down into the work, otherwise you can get some face veneer lifting or splintering.
Another excellent video to make Saturday morning coffee that much better. There are 2 schools of thought when it comes to carpentry & finish carpentry, there’s this, then there’s “Caulk & paint make a carpenter what he ain’t.” I’ll take this method all day long, pride of workmanship!
@@TodaysCraftsmen 🤣🤣. I’d bet my last dollar one would be hard pressed to even find a single tube of caulk anywhere near the GSJ building/van or personal homes 😊
