Thank you so much for posting this tip! About to install the same size tile in my shower and was looking for a good way to not let the tile pieces go flying.
It is the most American facet of shopping at any store type is having a fully loaded shopping cart cockeyed in the middle of the aisle and having, no, making someone ask for permission to get on by and displaying how much protein powder you eat in your kale boba water-reduction smoothie by hoisting that bad boy up to scoot it over because the back wheels don't swivel and instead screech in pain across the floor. Euros could never understand.
I pretty much agree with everything you said. If people could drive a cart like a car, we could all drift around joyfully with 4 pivoting wheels. but in Ikea, its like those same people, parking their cart in the worst possible places
Yeah I have no idea what it is but I've had a similar situation where I found the soft wood and made a heart for my old lady. I still have no idea what it is but it's beautiful. I found it in a barn.
@@PlutoProtogen we seem to pick and choose, which is somehow even worse haha. A British pint is 20oz, and an American pint is 16oz. I’m even more mad 😭😭
Great jig. You could make a plunge-router jig that incorporates the same center pivot to cut the inside of your rings and avoid having to glue your rings back together. Just cut the outside with the bandsaw then flip your piece over and set your router jig down on it to cut the inside.
I appreciate your video, this is the best circle jig I’ve come across. Maybe I just didn’t catch it, but I didn’t see where you drilled the hole for the little dowel sections to fit into???
Thanks for watching! I might have forgotten that clip. My older video probably shows it. Basically you just need to drill a hole with a forstner bit that matches the diameter of your dowel into the center of your sliding bar. I used a 5/8” bit / dowel. You also want your hole to be a little bit deeper than the length of your dowel on your workpiece so it doesn’t bottom out and allow your workpiece to rock or tilt. Hope that helps!
@@turboduckhead6179 tried that too, but my sieve was just a 1/4" mesh with a frame, not anything that moves. It worked, but way slower than this and the weeds got stuck to the rocks a lot more
Thank you for this video! I have the Delta too. I’m new to this. With the bearings, I noticed they ride along the blade. Which is an easy adjustment for my bigger resaw blades , yet manual and where I’ve looked says just behind the back of the blade which is maxing the bearing to the back . Any advice besides burn the manual 🤣 Thanks again, this will be my jig to build tomorrow!
Definitely burn the manual. If you want general setup advice, Alex Snodgrass has a great method. Make sure your blade is on the right part of the wheel, and ideally the guides are just above your workpiece. The thrust bearing on my saw is also weird but the saw works, it bogs down before I deflect the blade generally
@@designisblank yes ! Alex Snodgrass method had me tune that sucker up! It makes sense to have that bearing where you have it for the wider blades. I can’t get mine further back unless I slightly wedge the depth adjustment bar. But man, Snodgrass helped and noooooo drift ! Man I love you tube! Thank you for your help!
Nick, are you using auto-iris on that camera? You need more exposure or more light. Things look a little dingy. Just sayin'. Carry on. Excellent video and narration.
I am definitely needing better light and to be aware of not blocking my light while recording, but hopefully things get better as I learn, thanks for watching
Wait a minute. God may have been talking to you. The mistake you made created a spiral. Is there any chance that the spiral could be used for a bowl? God just told me that you thought of that already and that it's a stupid question. Okay. Sorry. My bad. Interesting video though.
You could definitely make a decorative piece with some thin material, but not sure how functional it would be. Check out Tamar at 3x3 customs, she made a spiral collapsible basket of sorts. Maybe I’ll experiment more 🤔
Kudos to you for mentioning that you had inspiration for your design from others on RU-vid 😁 I like the use of the tape/glue trick to hold the centre pin ... overall I like your design a lot 👍 Two suggestions ... 1) use double sided tape to join the track to the plywood next time 2) Maybe place a small flat disc above the locking bolt for the slide, otherwise over time the small end of the bolt will create dents in the underside, which may pull the slide into that dent when making a circle of similar size.
Thanks for watching. I think both of your suggestions are great, there is always room for improvement. I’m working on a video that uses this jig repeatedly, so I may try placing something to prevent denting in the past I have even put a dab of hot glue which can act as a small cushion with grip.
@@Artzandcatz www.amazon.com/shop/designisblank has the stuff you are looking for. T Track, clamps, threaded insert and the bandsaw and blade I used. Hope that helps!
I get what you're saying but I'm not thinking about protection after my death when I'm motivated to create something. I hope that isn't stopping anyone from making great art.
There’s no way you think people won’t make good art if they can’t copyright it for a century. Talk to an artist, only the most pretentious type will care about still holding the copyright after they die.
So you know. When I buy bosrds, planks in Germany, they are advertised in mm. Let's say deck planks advertised as 21x145mm and whatever length you want. Guess what size they end up. Exactly, it's exact.
