The up-cycled Walnut was too thin and the length was too short for desk tops this size. So, I had to get a little creative. Join me as I find two solutions for utilizing the customers wood to make two matching desk tops! Spoiler alert: He loved em!! Bonus: Learn about bread board ends and how they help to keep tables flat whilst allowing for wood movement. (Remember, they can't be glued on solid!)

Woke up late this morning, have so much to do and get done. Get a notification of a new video from Ramon and what do I decide to do? Click on it like any sensible woodworker. And glad I did. I learned so much once again. I will have to go back and watch it again later and make some notes so I don't forget all the tricks you show. Huge thanks again.

Nice job. Love the use of the Domino to join the breadboard ends.

@ramonartful 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Darren. I just about did dowels like normal 😬 Then, thought…Domino, why not?

@davidbedrosian1567 8 месяцев назад

Hey Ramon - this is another outstanding video. It's great that you were able to make two beautiful desks out of what would otherwise have gone to the landfill. As always, you had a host of tips and tricks to share during the build. I will have to try the belt sander to soften PVA glue before scraping it off. That was a great idea to use a domino to secure the ends of the breadboard ends. Thanks for showing us this latest project.

@ramonartful 8 месяцев назад

It was a fun challenge to utilize that wood! I did make a goof that I will show soon! 😆 Thanks for watching!

Nicely done Ramon-using the Domino to pin the breadboard was quite clever. Wishing you and your Lovely Lady a very Happy Christmas and New Year.

Just finished a HUGE job lasting over two years; cabinets, trim package, all sorts of odds and ends for a huge trophy ‘home’. The client absolutely sucked the life out of any possible enjoyment in the job. Watching this, today, honestly got me a little excited about getting after the next project. Always love and appreciate the energy you bring to your work. It is quite literally contagious. Cheers!

Always fun watching your builds and finding some new tricks of the trade. I also had the same find and fix, as you, about removing pin nails after hundreds of them. Have a Merry Christmas

Do you put some water on the end grain before using the shooting board? When I try to trim the ends on some bigger pieces it feels like I'm chopping down a tree, even with the blade as sharp as I can get it.

@ramonartful 8 месяцев назад

I haven’t. I will say this, though. Besides your blade being super sharp, set the depth for really light passes. That should help. I just trued up some Ebony blanks, end grain…and it made beautiful wispy shavings. LMK.

@BockenauerBuilder 8 месяцев назад

Inspiring as always. Thank you. I live in Germany - any way to get your zero clearance insert for my k3 winner?

@ramonartful 8 месяцев назад

So good to hear! Yes…we ship worldwide! If you send me a note (there’s a place for this when you order) stating we communicated on RU-vid, I’ll send you an extra one to help with the sting of shipping. It has a flaw but physically, is perfectly fine. Cheers.

Where did you get that machinist square.. With India name on it? Looks cool 👍 BTW... Learned so many tips and tricks... Thanks for an excellent and detailed video.

@ramonartful 8 месяцев назад

I'm not sure which square you're referring to. The two small adjustable squares....one is a Starrett (imperial) and the other is Sterling Tool Works (metric)...that one is superior to the Starrett! Another one that I use a lot was made by Chris Vesper...has brass and an inlaid handle. Anyway...thanks a lot for watching the video!

@anandnunna1 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info... and taking time to reply. The one I was referring to is shown at 2:23 in the video 👍

@ramonartful 8 месяцев назад

Yes! I looked again. Sorry, I don’t remember where I got that. It’s probably my most used square. I’ve had it for over 20 years.

@ramonartful 8 месяцев назад

Good question... I should have mentioned this. After the butt joints were made I ran all the new pieces through the planer (both edges)...not too concerned if they were a bit curved. Once they got glued to each other...they all turned out dead on nuts straight. Thanks for watching!

@ThisOldManOfTheSea 8 месяцев назад

Looks like a job for traditional ball and claw pliers to remove those pins - I guess that these have fallen out of popularity over the years.

@ramonartful 8 месяцев назад

I always wonder why some older tools that work well get overlooked. But truthfully here, the 23 gauge pins are simply too delicate to pull. Plus, by design, the glue used to hold them together in units, liquifies with friction and as the gun is fired lubricates nails or staples to help sink easier into hard lumber. Then, that same glue solidifies and locks into place! 😆
