There is a vacuum of knowledge in today’s generation when it comes to working with your hands. Wether it be to work with your hands to make a living or to make your next family heirloom, these skills are necessary. The goal of this channel is to upload videos that are focused on doing things other than store bought packages. There will be more focus on woodworking but will also include homeowner/handy man guides also.
This is very helpful thanks! I always wondered how to make my cnc cut similar to spendy machines like thermwood. They always nearly stop at angle cuts, and seemed to not be as jerky as most cncs. Exact stop seems to be what theirs are setup with
I'm thinking of taking my 1970s camper apart and using the base for a hauling trailer to load logs. I'm glad I seen this video. Gives me some ideas. I'll probably use Hickory boards for the flooring. Abd maybe put up some sides for when I'm just hauling 16 inch long logs for splitting wood, but also have the trailer for loading logs. It's a 28 ft camper, so I'll probably have to shorten the base a little bit. I liked the lift on the back. That was a pretty good idea also. People in general certainly don't invest money wisely enough. Building things like this to help with loading logs, would definitely be the type of investing to make life a little more easy...
I could not tell, but that looks like a Freud 99-762 shaker R&S bit set, something I was looking at as an alternative to the Rockler set (that does not have the micro adjustment feature for thinner than standard width plywood panels). May I ask how it has held up to use? Any issues with it dulling fast? What type of wood do you generally cut it with? I usually use oak or poplar myself.
Have you used these bits with a painted project? I’m going to use 1/4” ply for my panels and I’ve heard that these bits a just a hair to big at its closet adjustment.
@@TheWhimsicalWoodworker I finally got his bit and the fit is good but I only got 2 rails in and it started chipping out my profile in random places. It’s maple and I tried shallow passes but it only helped a little. I’d hate to think I have to sharpen these after only a few passes.
Thanks for this. I'm thinking to get an incra table saw fence. Was going to ask you how you like the Incra, but evidently you like it enough to put it on your next saw! Anything you can tell me about it? Worth the price? etc.? Thanks again.
I got mine used on another table saw for about the price of the incra system. So this is the third saw I’ve put it on. I love it. It’s not as smooth and quick as a t fence but the accuracy makes up for that, in my opinion
clickbait. "You'll never use a router sled again! If you can afford a multi-thousand dollar CNC machine to replace it!". There you go, fixed the title.
It works ok. For what I use it for, it may be a touch under powered. But since I rarely use it, it’s not worth having something more significant. We ended up putting it on a mag base which really makes adjustments handy. Before best results, your wood needs to be as dust free and smooth as possible
@@TheWhimsicalWoodworker I think it’s genius. Jointing a bunch of lumber can sure get time consuming and a straight line saw is pricey for most. Thanks again for the idea.
In the video there is a glimpse of a cut where the outside cut looked correct BUT the inside cut line has cut the corners off. This is the exact problem I’m looking to fix. Any ideas how??
Great channel! Keep uploading! Oh by the way, have a look at PromoSM. It’s a handy tool to have when you’re trying to grow your social media, RU-vid videos, website etc!!
Hey Tyler...Thank you for taking the time to post this video. What is the moisture content of your hardwoods air drying them outside before stacking in your attic? I have a couple stacks of red oak that have been drying outside for a little over a year that is at 19% MC. Was thinking of moving it to the attic space above my shop to speed up the drying process. I live in middle georgia and the temps in my shop attic in the summer generally hit between 110 - 120 degrees in the summer afternoons. Do you have any problems with your hardwoods drying to quickly and getting severe checking on the ends?
Yes, I would try to get them a bit dryer before putting them in the kiln. Try covering them to keep the rain off. With it being so humid down here that sometimes extends drying time. Keeping air moving over them also helps. I would not put hardwoods in the kiln/attic if they were at 19. Maybe more like 12-13
@@TheWhimsicalWoodworker The stacks are in the shade and sticked with 1x2's and covered with corrugated tin sheets. So as a newbie woodworker my question is...if the "annual average relative humidity" for my area is 71% which according to a chart of MC by relative humidity is approx. 13%, is that the lowest percentage I can expect my red oak slabs to air dry outside no matter how long I leave it outside to dry?
Seems like the same difference obtained by using G64 instead of G61 instructions before your cutting instructions in the G-code. (Maybe the Mach3 interface is doing just that?)
