A note on H&S in my shop... i) Router bits should be inserted to the depth of the collet grips - usually 20mm (3/4"). Take the collet apart to see the grip depth. ii) Anybody in my shop not wearing eye protectors when routing is instantly dismissed. iii )Anybody changing a bit without pulling the mains plug or removing the battery is instantly dismissed.
You lost me when you did not wear eye protection while using the router. Your showing beginners and not demonstrating best safety practices . Shame on you. No true professional would do such a thing.
Thank you for your videos! New sub. I bought the same Helmsman spare gloss. It looks great. Is that the same type you would use outside with the sun and glare? Can you use that on the sign then tone it down with another semigloss? Or has this been what most of your customers prefer? Thanks again for all your details to help everyone.
I never comment on RU-vid but I wanted to post this is by far the most useless video ever. Posits questions to fix the issue and never answers anything.
Great video. You convey the information in a clear and concise way and I learned a lot. You'd be a great high school shop teacher. 😊 Do they even have shop classes in high school nowadays?
I am watching this hoping to learn something as I am new to this . I started doing woodwork last year just before my 73 birthday, and why not? Made 2 benches a shoe and boot bench. Also a few rubbish things. I figure I am not to learn. So, I will carry on watching from the Uk. 3:39
Video should have shown the use of the fence and the height adjustment of the fence to locate the biscuit cut at the midline plane of the material thickness. That IS the standard usage of the the tool where the datum for locating the vertical position of the cut is the TOP surface of the work, NOT the table/surface the work is sitting on.
The bit should be fully inserted into the collet and then backed off just a tiny bit. The idea is to get the cutting surfaces closer to the router for stability and safety. This is more important on smaller router bits, like ¼" and ⅜" The reason for backing it off is because on some collets (mostly older ones) you need to have a little bit of space, to press in on the bit after loosening the nut, to release it. Most newer collets don't require the space. When you loosen the nut and it seems to get tight again, that's doing what pressing the bit in used to do.
Not sure which video you asked what audio we listen to while we're working. I got your wi-fi headphones and being a person who has been through the 60's twice, I listen to most tings between classical through hard rock depending on my mood. I use free Pandora and am currently listening to Blues.
Such a pleasant personality...such a nice way of explanation. You created an urge in me to make this work shop my actual dwelling where i get preoccupied in creating different woodwork. I wish to see you one day personally. God bless
I use the electric planer to take heavy passes and I use a couple hand planes to finish in a perpendicular direction. Also, it's gouging your board because you are putting more pressure on the front half than the back half. If you keep the pressure on the heel then it won't gouge.
Hey Henry, It's amazing that of all the woodworking channels I watch yours's are up in the top 3 unchallenged practicality plus. Thanks so much for the effort you put into them!
What about a keyhole carved into the back to hand on a flatbed screw, and so it's flush against the wall? Could this be carved into the back of the wood?
Great info but I have a question. I just inherited a 80 gallon air tank but no air compressor. I want to build a small wood shop in my garage. You said we don’t we need much air so I’m debating to sell the tank and buy a smaller air compressor or keep the tank and buy the top part (air compressor). Thanks in advance
I have the typical 5 hp 100 gallon compressor and 2 years ago replaced the compressor pump. that was a mistake. I should have just bought. smaller one. the size he is showing would be fine for most shops. i'm thinking a 5 hp is prob a waste of electricity. however it has lasted over 25 years and will again. but just thinking its maybe inefficient. but i also have a 50 or more feet of hose including a hose reel. very handy, i use it to blow off projects, equipment and floors more than anything else.
@@rrrrkoop2776 thanks for the information. I think I will be selling my tank and going with a smaller air compressor. What hp compressor do you recommend?
@team prosperity has no patience? Don’t shoot the messenger most of us watching this to learn new ways to be efficient and productive the Only way to Prosperity is with much patience Awesome Video Thanks Man
