and next time remember not to feed any old wood through that still has nails in it. DO NOT ask me how I know. . . . . . . ;-((( I did it on the *_very first day!!1_* <sob>
Hi Gilbert! If you can't find anyone around that's growing it already, then you might be able to source it from your local hardware. (it'll be outdoors with all the garden stuff, near the decorative panels and walls, etc) I have no idea where you are in the world, but in Australia, Bunnings has some large lengths of bamboo that would be suitable for this project. It'd be worth a look. Hope this helps! :D
I know this is an old video from 2 years ago, but I havent found anywere where it says if you can remove less than 0.5mm at a time. The lever allows for 1/4 of a spin for 0.5mm, but does the mechanism allow for the planer to move less? Would I be able to remove 0.25mm if i wanted?
hey! i think you can remove less than 0.5mm of material. i dont usually use the indicator in the lever, instead id move the lever just a tiny crank at a time. im pretty sure you can remove less then 0.5mm or even 0.25mm. hope this helps
Hi this is such great work…would u mind sharing what was the rough diameters of the two pillars and the moving piece u used? And also which glue you used for the bamboo?
it largely depends on what wood you use it for. for softwoods, it can last you quite a while. in my case though, ive used it for hardwood and reclaimed wood (with nails) 😟, so I had to reverse the blade after roughly 3 months of continued use. If you are wanting to get one, i highly suggest getting a planer with a spiral cutter head. 😁
@@cgdwoodworks759 that’s quite good. I currently own a Dewalt 735 and those stock blades only lasts for 1 month before I have to reverse them. I use it mainly to plane tropical hardwoods. I’m thinking about investing another $500 for a helical head or swapping the unit for a makita
@@donjulio3092 the dewalt 735 is a great thickness planer. upgrading to a helical cutter head would be a great decision. a tad pricy but as far as feedback goes, it is well worth it.
Hello and congratulations on your creation of the Japanese fountain, it is beautiful, so much so that I started doing it too😅 .... Excuse me ... for this water feature what pump would I need? I wouldn't want to buy it too powerful, are solar panels suitable for this game too? Thanks in advance and have a nice day😉 Federico
hey! thank you. I didnt use a strong pump for this. 30-40watts should be enough for this. A solar powered pump is great though you’ll want to use something with lesser power. thank you!
The power of the pump you use will depend entirely on how high an elevation you want to make the water go. Measure the height of where the water is going to draw the water from (the pond, usually) and then from there, the height at which the water is going to feed out from. Take this information with you to the hardware when you go looking for pumps, and that sort of information will be on the pump boxes. Alternatively, if you need help, the store assistant will need that information as well, in order to help you choose the right pump. You can use a less powerful pump, but know that if you buy an underpowered pump, it might well burn out faster, as it will have to work hard to pump water up that high, and it will die faster. Get a pump that is powerful enough to do the job easily, and it will last much longer.
This is beautiful work and I'm not here to discredit your craftsmanship or creativity, but there is one little thing that bugs me. I'm sure it could work as a deer scarer but it's not very zen-like because when the tube is emptied and falls back in place, it makes this big "CLUNK" sound. Do you have any idea on how to improve this specific aspect of the build?
Hi. no problem at all. any comment is welcome. as for the sound, i purposely made it happen because its relaxing for me at least. 😁. you can eliminate the sound. all you have to do is remove the rock where the end of the bamboo hits after the water is emptied. replacing it with grass for example will make the landing a tad more silent. i hope this helps. 😁
You DO realise that the CLUNK sound at the end is precisely what it is meant to do, right? That is what it was called a "deer scarer" or "boar scarer". It made random enough loud noises to scare away animals! If you don't like this particular feature, you are going to have to build something a little different. but then...it wouldn't really be a shshi-odoshi anymore, now would it?
SUPERB WOOD WORKS🤩👏🥰👍 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED KAAYO, AMAZING TALENT, PERFECT ANG DETAILS, SUPER NICE ANG QUALITY PA GYUD. SALUDO KAY KO AND WILL SURELY ORDER MORE🤩👍🥰 THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE VERY TALENTED AND HARDWORKING MAN BEHIND THIS BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS OF CGD WOOD WORKS😊🙏🤩
you are welcome. this project was an urgent request but I accepted it without question because i know its for a good reason. also, i always welcome challenges in my craft, so, thank you. 😁
Hi! Good question. In my case, I had it on a 45 degree angle. All i did was made sure that the hose inside the bamboo was angled downward. I hope this helps. 😁
