We use RU-vid more than we would care to admit and I think this is a fair comment for most of us out there. I wanted to give something back to the community which has saved me not only hours but days of headaches and heartaches.
If there is something you would like me to review, look at or make then please drop it in the comments and I will get back to you.
Hey! Really well, we sadly lost the roof this Spring BUT the storms were epic, 70mph gusts. The walls held up just fine! We have replaced the roof with a heavy duty, reinforced clear tarp.
This helped me convince my wife the BB/BB 13 ply Baltic Birch i found for only a $6 premium over the fake Birch veneered softwood ply at Home Depot was worth the expensive for our kitchen cabinets. It was 7.5% more expensive. I figured thats worth it to be able to say our cabinets are 100% hardwood and for the extra strength and ease of finishing edges on the bases. Thanks a bunch.
Cutting MDF without PPE is dumb as hell, especially when your dust collection is a floating flex tube lol. MDF is about as bad for your lungs as it gets in woodworking.
😂 floating flex tube? Why do I need PPE when its all caught at the source? You realise that's attached directly to a 2hp collector which is running a 1 micron filter and there is also a 4" extract underneath right? What's dumb is commenting on a video without checking to see the level of extraction, or to see if there is any other info, Ive got a couple more shorts showing how the extraction system gets all the dust but thats cool 😂🤦♂️
@@TheNaturalWorkshop Sure bud, if you want to assume you're safe that's fine. It's the particles you don't see that are dangerous, and there's plenty of evidence showing that the kind of dust collection you have does very little for protecting your lungs. Was just trying to warn you. Be safe.
I have been watching RU-vid videos of woodworkers for a good few years now and always dreamed of being in my little workshop and my own boss. Took three years but I have built my workshop and I am ready to go but I am procrastinating untold especially with family and full time job but this video has really helped thank you.
Mine is sadly gone. I was cutting rebar and might of burned the motor out. The thing got really hot. Have you takem it apart? I'm trying to avoid buying a new one $$$$
Hey, apologies, I didnt see this. Yes, I did repair it and it worked for a few more months but in the end it died. Awesome bit of kit though for the money!
Thanks! Can you regulate the height so that the guard is as close as posible to the wood and the gap between blade and guard is thinner? (For finger protection in case hand 🖐️ slides toward the blade by accident)
Yes mate, I have a couple of bolts with butterfly nuts on them which I turn and slide the arm up and down as I used a few different sleds so I needed it to be able to be altered up and down.
Yeah they are, you can buy them as after market but they are super expensive! That's the reason I built one. It was a fun build and it ended up saving me a ton of money
Here's a couple of shorts where you can see me using the extraction while cutting. It's awesome really! ru-vid.comQ7EPB8YJ1Eo?si=bKjecTneAQg4anc4 ru-vid.comVFcDtEhqoHU?si=6ADsjWupNSWrYYIY
Went battery a few years ago with a Makita. All the same reasons, not spending the first few hours of my weekend getting the f' ING thing to start, quiet, smooth, and with two sets of batteries it can last as long as me at the wood! Have Hyundai mower and been impressed with that.
🤣 Yeah I know the feeling. I love the Husky but I hardly ever use it now, just pop a battery in the Hyundai and get at it. It does struggle a bit when cutting the larger (12-14") logs but it's not really meant for that to be fair, especially with the smaller bar!
@@TheNaturalWorkshop What's the rule though - use the smallest chainsaw that'll do the job. I own 10ac of mostly badly managed Larch + invading deciduous which I'm ruthless thinning for firewood (Larch is great firewood, so long as you have the space...) , and the Makita has been brilliant - even the big stuff - yes it takes a while but take it steady and it'll cut. I suspect I might struggle if it was all oak, or field maple - but I'm leaving anything "interesting" in place. Have just bought one of these too - I wanted a second battery (the lawn is 2 batteries in size) and the man-maths said £160 for chainsaw and battery (graded return) was better value than £90 for just the battery - I'll do a head to head in the wood next week...
@@TheNaturalWorkshop found the on switch a bit odd, the Makita is more positive, wasn't sure how it knew I was pressing it, seemed needlessly complex... More on that later. Like for like (same chain and bar on both) Hyundai much slower, also not a progressive throttle (Makita is brush less motor) then the switch started misbehaving, had to turn it off and on again to get it to respond. Returned it in the end.. So overall, buy a Makita (I have a DUC353) Benefit too is you can get non OEM batteries and non OEM tools for the Makita batteries, Makita is a bit dearer but a much better tool.
Pro tip; drill your hole saw half way through, then flip the piece over and come from the back. Your pilot hole will keep you central. No nasty tearout on the backside
I think the shellac finish wins for me. It has great protection from water, more organic, nice looking stain absorption when it does happen. But the Danish Oil looks like a great option too... shoot!!! I can't decide! Thanks very much!
Not editing out mistakes means that you’re human and you recognize the fact that you’re not perfect and infallible. Keep up the great content. Edit- I guarantee that I have made far worse/dumber/more expensive/ embarrassing mistakes that simply didn’t have a camera around.. except my first marriage.. there’s still footage somewhere
🤣 That's hillarious lol. Thank you, I try to keep it as honest as I can. I think it's really disheartening to only see the good on socials, especially if you're just starting out. I always make a point to tell people that it's OK to make mistakes, just learn from them moving forward!
@@TheNaturalWorkshop I used to be a plumber that worked on commission. When I was training other guys, I tried to impress upon them the importance of attention to detail because if they did not pay attention to the small stuff, their paycheck tended to become my paycheck in very short order. Mistakes are always going to happen. It’s just whether they keep happening over and over or whether a person learns.
The timber frame was purchased and then I had to make and source all of the electronics. Its not a bad option to be honest compared to the price of a UK purchased unit
im looking at making similar but double rap the plastic let me explain my thought so make side frame/panel on the ground then rap the entire frame with plastic to create a double layer panel and stretch it around the entire frame and then pin the plastic with wiggle wire....make 4 panels for the sides like this then same for the 2 roof panels then put it all together so the greenhouse is double layer and no need for a blower inbetween the 2 layers....similar to the door you made on the ground but rap it 2x
