Just a guy in his garage having fun building stuff. I will post videos as often as I can but project size and my full time job and family will dictate how much shop time I can get in each week.

Creating these videos is a lot of work and good audio isn’t cheap. In my more recent few videos I’ve started adding a voice over to talk through the steps I’m doing. Thanks for watching.
Using the slots in the bed can I slide the entire support system back onto the tailgate and better support 10 foot sheets of Sheetrock or other scenarios where that would provide better support? To each their own. 👍🏻
If you check around the 4:30-4:50 mark in the video you can see I have screws holding the jig to the edge of my workbench. I just used a couple of pan head pocket hole screws. In hindsight I should have probably done it a little differently because I had some inconsistent alignment when gluing the frames…but it wasn’t anything that couldn’t be easily sanded flush…just took extra time to do. Hope that helps but if not let me know. 👍🏻

It would have been a good video from a camera clarity and editing aspect. However the 100% blaring rock background music and lack of any viable educational dialog is a great reason NOT TO WATCH THIS FLIC. it was of no educationally value to any one attempting to make a cheese board slicer kit. A waste of time. Sorry for the negative comments, but I hope your next video will understand these comments and avoid such production issues. Try again, better luck next time..
Thanks. The steel wool is to rub the finish. Helps get a very smooth feel by smoothing any brush strokes, dust bits, and other slight imperfections in an oil finish.
The number font is from a vinyl cutting machine’s software my wife has. Same for the names. I bought a SVG image of the graduation hat and tassel and then used the CNC software to merge it all together. I just have the free carbide 3D version so far. It’s limited in its capabilities but has done enough for me so far. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
@@DanPrudlow Ugh I've been looking all evening for the font on cricut!! Happen to know which ones they are? Its so difficult to find a font that has the letter joined together... Or at least looks good when I do slide them together on aspire
Can I borrow your shop? This is so nice. Your panel size is the same I need. Now to find someone in my area to help my dreams come true. Thanks for the video!!
Hi Dan, thanks for the video. Do you sell the signs unfinished as presented in the final seconds of the video or do you go on to finish them? Also, most importantly to me right now, is how do people find you or how do you find people to sell to? I have a onefinity also and I love the machine but I'm having a hard time finding customers, I have resisted etsy as it feels oversaturated but I'm realizing maybe it's inevitable. What are your thoughts?
When I first made the signs we would paint them for people and charged $30 each but it was a huge time suck so we stopped with the painting. So we ship them out just as you see in the video. As for where to sell so far it’s just been my wife posting them in different FB groups for the stuff we have sold. These in particular have been posted to “senior moms” type groups. Some other items were local “buy/sell/trade” groups. I had an Etsy page at one time before having a CNC but didn’t have much luck with the one item I had. I’m sure it could do better now but I agree it’s very saturated. I’m considering a Shopify or something like that. I have a website too so maybe I could integrate it somehow there. I just don’t have a ton of time to dedicate to it.
There were a couple reasons. One is just for practice and then also a good sharp blade leaves a really clean and smooth surface that almost doesn’t need sanding where the jointer/planer leave some milling marks. They are also kind of fun to work with. Thanks for watching and for the question. 👍🏻
I actually got 7 sheets of 3/4 for a big cabinet build…and this setup worked like a champ. Also got 10ft sheets of drywall and pulled it out onto the bed a bit to support them.
Thanks for the video. Lots of great ideas here. I especially liked the fixtures that you made to drill the repetitive dowel holes. I have the Dowelmax jig, which is a bit different from the Jessem but now I’d like to make a similar setup for it. I make my face frames mostly like you do, and one thing I’ve had some success with is drilling a pocket hole on the back side of the face frame between the dowels. I like this because it clamps the joint, and with the dowels in there I don’t have to worry about any movement when driving the pocket hole. Thanks again!
Thanks! I used Titebond Hide Glue. There is an amazon link in the video description if you want to check it out. It has about a 30 minute open time so it’s a bit easier to get all the joinery together and clamped up before it sets too much. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching the video. Unfortunately I don’t have any plans available. With my day job and family I don’t have enough spare time to make plans for things. Maybe someday.
great video and thank you for sharing. Question, now that your video is 2 years old; how are you feeling about the flexibility of you design? Would you do it again?
We’ll, I’ve never actually flipped the table upright for storage or to gain floor space so I’m not sure that part was worth the trouble. I also think having the machine enclosed would be worth the extra effort and material. It’s a very loud machine…lol. Overall I’m satisfied…it is nice having the overhang on each side to slide stuff under without having legs in the way. The machine itself has been completely worth the cost too. It’s paid for itself twice with stuff my wife has sold on FB marketplace. Thanks for watching!
Great works! I have been looking for a video that uses the Jessem dowel jig and yours looks great. However, could you make a video specifically about the Jessem doweling jig setup that you use in this video? If you have it already, can you share the link? Thanks
Thanks for the comment. I don’t have a video specifically on the doweling jig and I’m not sure when I’ll have time to make something like that as I have a lot of projects lined up. There may be others out there though. It’s a pretty easy jig to use though. Thanks for watching.
This is for hauling plywood sheets. The space between the wheel wells is only 44 inches so this raises it up just above the wheel wells so the sheets can lay flat. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
@@DanPrudlow haha yea sorry, im not a native english speaker so not sure if there is a name for it... also would it be any different if we just used a slider which is drilled directly in the desk, so we avoid using that underside piece of wood all together
Gotcha. No special name for it, just needed something to attach the slide to on the one side because the desktop is so wide there was nothing there. If you attach directly to the desk that would work just fine. Thanks!
