Hey everyone, welcome to the jamesofalltradesny RU-vid channel. The goal of this channel is to document the many different projects I am currently working on and share them with you all! Follow me @ jamesofalltradesny on Instagram for more great content.
Looks good for what it is for sure....my problem is I just do NOT have the patience to do this properly. I love working on engines and mechanical stuff, but paint/body work is just not my cup of tea. I just picked up a '73 CB750 off of marketplace that came with a pretty bad rattle can paint job on the tank so I might attempt to to paint it, but it wouldn't approach anywhere near this quality....my thought is I can't really make it worse so where's the harm in trying?
what I dont get is this. I painted my tank with the base coat. Then I put clear lacquer on it about 4 coats. But my lacquer doesn't dry shiny glossy, it is still quite dull. How is that??? Any ideas on that?
Laquer can have issues when it begins to dry, solvent can get caught under what is almost a skin, you can try a quick wipe with denatured alcohol but be careful it can take the paint off if you use to much. Hope this helps!
Great ! I am looking for a Mitter station which would sit in the middle of a big table, that way u have the wings on each side. Do u have plans for that?
Very nice, thank-you! I am building this., I want it to house my Dewalt planer aswell on the other side Are your 2x4x8’ or? In your cut list it says 2x4 but it doesn’t say how long they are
I have this exact kit! Centec is nice, much cheaper than rocklers kit but unfortunately the attachments don’t always stick well and I have to use tape to make more of a solid fit. I’d like to buy the Wen wall mounted dust collector and somehow connect this kit to it but I haven’t seen how to modify a heavier duty dust collection like wen or Harbour Freight’s collector in a way that removes the annoying bag and separates the dust into a bin. I hate to have to undo the bag to clean out dust and I’ve seen modifications on really big dust collectors but not on the smaller when version. It’d be nice though because my Ridgid shop vac can’t handle my tablesaw and dust flies back onto me horribly even with everything on
I love the kit but I agree I’ve used hose clamps to keep the connectors on certain tools. I’ve seen a lot of different ways to modify the dust collectors. There are a lot of Facebook groups surrounding small shops that have really good designs you should check that out for ideas.
TY for making this video. Nice work too! I've been thinking about how to film "designing it and then making it" and agree it's super hard. Good luck, but I do look forward to seeing that part too.
@@jamesofalltradesny hard for everyone, I think that's why so few even attempt it. I've been trying to film woodworking and even that's a huge challenge. Yet to really get _good_ usable footage, but I'm getting better, totally outside my wheel house. Thanks again!
Clearly you've never even watched a single video on professional car painters doing work. Constant prep, multiple levels of paint and sanding are all required to get a depth and luster to the paint.
@@jamesofalltradesny All good. Thanks for the reply. I was just really interested in that industrial pipe tap tower. Actually a very cool idea but I think I got the gist.
I appreciate the fact that you can still use the snowblower if you wanted to. I'm very impressed with your fabrication, and sharing you knowledge of welding thick and thin metal by favoring the thick side.
@@jamesofalltradesny I just found the waterproof leds and waterproof solderless connectors! That plus precut wooden letters should make this project even more DIY friendly (hopefully 🥲) Thanks for the reply!
