Welcome everyone! My name is Alex, I am an everyday husband and dad. This channel is going to be an outlet of my curiosity on how to be husband and dad, who can do a lot of things. Our latest journey is moving to the new city, Calgary Alberta to build a new life while remodeling 30 year old house by doing as much as we can ourselves.
Thanks for a great video. I’m a beginner who has been fooled into thinking they need a thickness planer for these project but it appears you don’t actually run the board through . Can you pass long grain boards through a thickness planer ?
@@Litehamer if you glue up is on point sometimes you don't have to. But I personally did have to run them through, especially end grain ones. For that reason I upgraded to spiral cutting head over knives.
This is the best cutting board video out right now. After watching many of them, others leave things out that you covered and made easy to follow along with no questions left to ask at the end. Well done.
Man, I would love to build an audio monitor box, but I can't measure it to make it look good, it's not professional at all, I'd just like to use some speakers I have, there are 3 speakers, one 15w, 5w, and a 2,25w for a 30w tweeter, it would be like a mine tower, could you help me with some measurements or a website so I can build a project?
You make it look so easy. I'm currently making my first cutting board, and like an idiot, I'm making an end grain board. I should have made a few flat and edge boards first... Enjoyed your video so I subscribed to your channel. Thanks!
He used mineral oil and Odie's Oil, both of which are food safe. He also said that he typically uses beeswax after mineral oil, again both are food safe. Agreed...a beautiful board.
To be fair it's a tanoy driver hard to find if there no numbers on the driver get a microphone for testing dB of speaker when you find out the dB then look for a replacement driver that is the same lol the specs for dB should be online but if you can't find them a 🎤 ..drivers peerless,fostex, Dayton all of these midbass drivers play flat and would be maybe better just remember to make sure the dB is around the same DSP can fix it but I don't think the tannoy have switches on the back to change top end or lo end dB
Great video! As a beginner I really appreciate you taking the time to show the different methods and tools one could use to accomplish the different steps. Can’t wait to see an end-grain cutting board tutorial. Keep up the good work!
This video is very entertaining. I've watched a TON of these on RU-vid, and though I can't say you covered anything I hadn't heard before (understandable, since you said this was aimed at beginners) you said and presented it in a very good way. I look forward to future installments. Good luck with your enterprise.
Omg Alexis, that Board is beautiful, what is the best saw to get the cuts so nice and even. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing and again best regards from Germany.
Hello. Great job again. I just found your Chanel. Pretty interesting.. so do you use sawdust to cover up if you have any small gaps from ripping your boards. Thanks a lot for any tip and for your Chanel, and again best regards from Germany btw that is a Beautiful cutting board😊
Hi Francisco, To be honest, if mypieaces do not line up where i can not see the joint after ripping, I will run the sides on the jointer or flat glued sandpaper until I can glue them without the gap. But, if it ever happens, glue and saw dust or CA glue is your best friend.. Cheers!
@@candodad thanks for the quick response. I had some issues with my blade and I thought that when I put the clamps on it was lookin pretty good. But after the clamps were out. I had some very small gaps. Now I was thinking to cut everything new but then I found your Chanel and thought maybe a question would help. Thank you so much for sharing and for your response and our best regards from Germany. 😊😊😊😊
@@franciscoayala1062 Saw blade is definitely one of those things that you buy the best you can afford. I dont know what is availble to you in Germany but I would highly recommend a blade with carbide tips. You will be very happy!
2 comments. the speaker is made worse by using a flat front on the speaker face , there is a reason why the original speaker front is not. Rockwool, ah the old skin scratcher. Good job now everytime the bass hits the listener (and their studio equipment) will get a nice unhealthy rockwool shower. Other than that great job.
Thank you for your comment Johan! This is really my first crack at building speaker enclosures, once I started to learn about them, I found a deep rabbit hole of all sorts of information. Regarding speakers face, I didn't really see any effect on the performance when I searched, but thanks for a this tip I will look into more. Rockwool, seems to be pretty popular stuffing, I did vacuumed it before install and studio monitors do not really have much bass. But I see your point that with age and degradation some elements might come out. Please let me know if you know any good resources for speaker building, I would appreciate all the help! Cheers
@@candodadTBF it will only mess with edge diffraction the sound will be 95% maybe some dead spots when of centre but should be all good I used felt on the edge of my speakers to smooth out any harsh tones from the baffle
I tried several dust collectors and ended up with a ShopFox 2hp two-stage connected to a 55 gal drum that has a Oneida Super Dust Deputy cyclone. Ended up building a dust collector system just for the really fine dust that acts more like a gas than solid wood chips. It is a 'cube' with a 22" fan on one side; the other sides are sized to hold 20x25x1 furnace filters - buy the best grade your budget can afford. Blow out when dirty....
That is exactly what I have for my machines. Oneida is definitely works like magic. However for the sander you need more power and less flow, shopvacs with second stage are a cheaper solution to Festool or Mirka sanders
Nice looking board. If you check out the web on the species of wood you are using, you will find that wenge is toxic to a large percentage of the population. Be sure you were a good dust mask and have good dust collection. Mahogany is also not good to breath the dust. Purpleheart can be a little rough on knife blades because it is so hard.
