I would put a plexiglass window into the dust collection box so you could see how dusty it is, observe functionality, and see the wheels spin if you step back (but not get distracted by them while cutting since the window is only into the bottom wheel where it is needed)
From a fellow “Greg.” This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen. Loved it. I’m just coming back to woodworking and turning after a 24 year change of career that has taken me to retirement as of a few months ago. Carpentry was the first half of my work life. I truly appreciate your humble style and logic. I appreciate that you’re not (yet) in 5000sf shop with 80K worth of tools which seems to be the norm on videos. I love that your plan is as on a paper bag and made sense. You also light and film very well and have good sound. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the good work. I have a two car garage. 1/5 of which is treated wood stacked for drying to turn. So I’m steeling your flip cart idea to help save space.
Another great job. I’m 76 and 8 weeks past a triple bypass. I’ve been a ‘jackknife carpenter’ in the past but only to build simple things. During my recovery I’ve been bingeing on RU-vid clips of French cleat systems, plus tips and tricks, jigs and shortcuts. And I’ve been inspired! In the past couple of weeks I’ve handed over a king’s ransom for tools……table saw, router, shop vac, brad nailer, measuring devices and on and on……..Looking forward to getting down to business. Your channel is a good resource, one that is teaching an old dog new tricks. 🦮 🔨 🪚 🩹 🧰
I see that Bosch offers a left side extension (TS1008) for the 4100 table saw. Do you have any experience with this extension to know if it is worth the money?
Pray tell, what do LED’s have to do with causing or not causing short circuits and less problems? And why would you mount the receptacle facing up and more susceptible to collect water?
I would paint the new cover. After watching your video, I now know how I am going to change my dust issues with my old Delta bandsaw, and it will have paint to match the rest of the saw.
Excellent video Greg, thank you. One question, I need to also replace the top of the cabinet (before installing the new sink) which has delaminated and looks pretty bad due to water damage below the Formica top laminate. Do you have a video to do that?
U can use H beam or I beam so you can put bolts from both sides , and last cover it using 1/4 in plates, I have the same 14in bandsaw, watching from ZANZIBAR ISLANDS
Love this! You do woodworking like I do. Mistakes happen. Most content providers “never” make mistakes, but you have the courage to show the real process
I got one and love it. Recommend you put threadlocker on the allen screws on the adjustment end as well as the spring-loaded adjustment pin in the back. They will be wanting to back out until you do.
@shwagonvids My original allen screws backed out on me before I could put the threadlocker on. I called Harbor Freight, and they did not jave replacement screws, but I figured it out. The allen screws are M5 x 50, which you can pick up at Ace Hardware for about $1.79 apiece. The adjustment pin never got lost, but I do not know the part number for it.
Hey Greg! Glad to see you on here and in CV! There's still a group of us coming for the annual CV trip at the end of the month. Charlie and myself are both thinking about getting property out there. Although he's thinking in town for the water and power and i would like to be further out. Thanks for the great videos and maybe we'll see you out there again sometime, for some prairie doggin!
Yes, Gregg the cost for the system would be nice to know even if just an estimate, we have property out there also and are looking at adding a site for summer vacationing ourselves. Please keep the videos coming and you might want to add the name of the company that put in the system.
I like the way you made your bench starting from the ground up it just made me look at it in a different way. I also just received my SawStop CTS and looking forward to setting it up in a bench like yours ❤❤❤❤
I got this vice, but the swiveling on the vertical axis doesn’t work. I’ve loosened the back detent or I’ve pulled the back, but it still doesn’t swivel. It only swivels horizontally.
I have this same table and love it, but I'd add one more step to the assembly process. Since it's made of MDF, I'd suggest coating all exposed MDF areas with a spray enamel clear. The exposed ends and bolt holes, such as on the fence boards, will eventually absorb humidity and swell. I took everything apart that needed coating, such as the miter slot guide and router base plate, taped off the Formica and sprayed the edges of the MDF where those parts fit in. Don't use a water-based urethane or any other water-based product to do this! The table is now properly sealed and should last for a very long time, but it would have been much easier to do had I done it from the start. This is the 3rd router table I've owned and it's the best, by far.
