I’m a part time woodworker with an occasional metal project here and there. My videos will be a bit of How to / DIY as well as some action footage from using different tools in my shop including table saw, bandsaw, track saw, drill press, planer, drum sander and others as well as a variety of hand tools. I regularly work on canoe paddles, barrel themed projects and customize with laser engraving. I hope you can learn some new skills or tips as well as a bit of humor and entertainment.
Don't forget to hit the bell for notification of new videos on Monday’s from the previous week's projects.
I was thinking about making a different instrument of execution with barrel staves and re-used wire. You know like an electric chair or something. I could make a noose but that's way too easy since it's just rope.
Were you using the same track with both saws? A track becomes mated to a specific saw - not even a specific model, but a specific unit - on first use as the rubber gets trimmed precisely to that saw's tolerances. Definitely shouldn't share tracks between models! Anyway that might explain some of the inaccuracy
I purchased a piece of crap WEN 4214 drill press and was able to square the table left to right but it was badly out of square front to back. I assumed that the vise I mounted on the table must have thrown it out of square so I removed it and tried again. I discovered that it was the table itself that was out of square so I decided I could shim the vise and level things up. Wrong - the table is DEFORMED and has one low corner. Which is basically impossible to shim and fix. I went back and forth with WEN forth three weeks and they finally suggested I PURCHASE a new table from them that might possibly be square front to back. ...isn't the entire purpose of a drill press to drill holes that are square with your work? This POS fails miserably!
I built our first cedar strip canoe in 1992. It was a 20’ E. M. White design. We have canoed many expeditions with it in many kinds of waters. I built our 17’ canoe 24 years ago and it has been on many adventures. I am now building an 18’ cedar strip canoe for my wife. She loves the 20’ canoe but it weighs 100#. I am building this one as light as I can.
Hey Scott, wonderful series and beautiful result. Well done. Will have to teach you the Canadian stroke when paddling at the rear. Google that stroke my friend!
This is a rebrand of a Jet model that sells for 600 bucks. Exactly the same machine with different colors and a couple of different aesthetics. Therefore when one buys the Jet, one is pretty much paying double for the brand. Isn’t that crazy 🤪
I have a Hayward Pro Logic board that seems to no longer keep the clock at the correct time or it doesn’t run the clock at all. Any idea what components on the board need to be replaced? The whole board costs over $800! I think there’s possibly only 2 components that need to be replaced for around $15.
