Thank you very much, joethiele, for uploading this interesting video so that we all can see it again anytime in the future. ™ Please have a nice weekend. ™
If this piece of wood is 164 years old then it tells me that somebody planted it back in 1860 when Abraham Lincoln was President Of The United States of America. May he rest in peace. Please always do post only positive comments over here. ™
I went down a rabbit hole. I’m looking at things to do with the Shaper Trace I’m getting next week. But watching things like this… makes want to get the Origin as well.
I love my jointer. I just got a Uber nice one off of Craigslist that was covered it rust, but it perfect condition otherwise. It was so satisfying to perfectly tune it up and get to 90 degrees. It allowed me to take my woodworking to the next level. I can’t wait for the day I upgrade it to a helical head.
You're getting a lot in there. What did you end up doing for dust collection? another full-size cyclone? supercell? harvey? Are you able to set up another shed for lumber and rarely used tools?
Good work brother I just downsize as well so I feel your pain, but my was from two car garage (400sq ft) to one car garage (200 sq ft) so imagine 🤦♂ I do have a video in my channel of the new smaller shop space and yeah the floor mats is a most but I use the one that interlock and the cleat wall system for my tools, I wish you the best and God Bless you.
Yeah you could, only limitation there though is the width of piece you can cut. I cut wider panels that need a straight edge on this and don’t have to reference the fence this way
That’s really impressive - nice work on all the jigs you made to get the pulls to turn out so well. What finish did you roll on? And did you spray the final coat? Thanks.
What about placing the uprights back to back so the two tables become one feature table? The two tops would be at different heights, but that might look cool. I'm thinking of the 3D chess set in Star Trek.
I like the style of the tables. I think they are definately worth saving. I think part of the problem with the wobble is that even though the legs look like tripods, they are too flat, effectively, the 3 feet are acting as one. If you were to remove some material from the central area to create 3 points of contact, they cannot wobble. You would still need to check for level though. Hope it helps. Best regards, Neil
Thanks Neil! Yes agreed, the bottom of the base being flat without sure contact points is really hurting it. That's part of my plan in improving these, to define some feet. On the 3 points, though, there's not enough weight in the front of the base to trust it without the back point. I'm considering putting an adjustable foot on that back edge, though, as it's got the space in the column for it and would be adjustable to flat with the other 3, non-adjustable points of contact.
I love your thoughts process. Really cool build, and really nice work. Looking to getting my woodshop finished to start recording, to you have any tips for recording in a shop like this?
Thanks! Good lighting helps a ton; easy to adjust tripod for sure; I use an iphone pro for everything so the multiple lenses built in helps a ton when trying to adjust to tight angles
@joethiele I've got a few overhead and ring lights. No iPhone though, might invest in a good proper camera however. Adjustable Tripod sounds nice. Thanks for the advice!
I kept waiting for you to “tap tap tappy” the piece with a mallet…it never happened and I feel unsatisfied. I understand it probably wasn’t needed…but I needed it 😂😂😂😜
Yeah the Incra and other brands make 2 sizes of Router Lift. One for Rockler that is not as wide. They should be clearer in their instructions and sales. I kind of wish I didn't get the Rockler one because now I'm stuck with their sizing. I like your videos, I hope to see more of your content soon. Thanks
Yuck, you had perfect crisp planed surfaces and then you rounded everything off with sand paper. You might as well finish it with dollar store crafts paint at this point.
