I'm sorry to hear that. I hate to lecture in videos about safety but I spent so much time doing this on high alert, I felt it necessary to let people know.
a friend of mine cut off 2 fingers, his wife's quick thinking saved them both and he got them reattached. but his index and middle finger are now 1/4th inch shorter on his left hand.
@@timsway it was exactly the type of safety briefing that should appear. Just good advice without preaching. Whilst people have to take their own responsibility as you mentioned, I do think that there is a responsibility on RU-vidrs that are putting out videos to point out unsafe practices that they're experience allows them to mitigate. In this video, you're showing a renovation using a widely available woodworking tool and some free timber, so I think it would be reasonable to assume that people might watch it and think they could give it a try. It was good that you pointed out the pitfalls and a great tip with the tape on the fence.
That is the right way, safety is the most important thing. Nothing brings your fingers back. I know that from my own experience. Always nice and slow and careful.
Learn something in every video. Never would have thought to put packing tape on the table saw fence to keep the miter cut from going underneath. Thank you for sharing
That little tape trick you show will come in handy. I always find my hollow core door plywood slides under my fence. I usually put a board on my fence, but i think tape will be a better idea 👍 the can is coming together nicely Tim 🙌
Just before I turned on your video I was working outside repurposing an antique dresser into a headboard for a bed. I have never worked on anything this old. When using the power saw the thing almost caught fire! The kick back was terrible and running into tiny unseen nails was a treat. But still alot of fun. Seeing you and your boy working in synergy is alot of fun too! Thanks
This is looking great! I was wondering why you were putting tape on the saw until I "saw" the sharp angle of the wood and had a big Aha! moment! So smart!
Well, and my wife points out (since that's the saw Jimmy Diresta almost severed his pinky on), "That saw has tasted blood and now it wants more!" Seriously though, knowing when to take breaks is probably one of the best pieces of advice. Not only will *not* taking enough breaks make you complacent/tired, but even if it doesn't result in an injury, it's often where a "project-ruining" mistake will occur. Also, the pallet-wood walls totally compliment the aesthetic of the guitars. Such a cool project and I'm also digging the off-grid approach with the powerbank. Between you and Ben Yueda - two makers doing some cool stuff with off-grid/solar power solutions - awesome!
honored to be in the same sentences as Ben and Jimmy! Indeed, I don't ever want to feel too comfortable around a table saw -especially that particular one, as your wife duly pointed out.
thanks. the air tool has a little hammer head in it that pushes the nail out in reverse (you git the tip side, not the head). They're about 50$ on amazon and called, a "denailer" of course :)
Looking good matey, won't be long before you are on the road, I just hope we can get some shows for you to safely get to this year! I love the power pack, I definitely want one of those... that and the denailer...and a 5 string bass...and the Electric Pipa from last week....aww heck!
Looking great Tim! Love the use of pallet wood & that was excellent advice about table saw safety! No one that I know wants to lose a finger any time soon....... 😉😉👍👍
Awesome as always and really like and enjoy your honest down to earth appraisal of situations never loose that objectivity - also the Jackman Banta is legendary 👍👍👍
in those drawers, for the cases, you should put the spacers in the rear on hinges. Because some cases are larger than others for example a case for a Gibson explorer may take up more of the rear space. If you had the spacers on hinges you could close and open them depending on the case being used. Just a thought.
Looks really good Tim, especial for the back of a delivery truck. I knew you'd either make the walls out of pallets or hollow core doors. The pull out drawers for guitar cases are a nice touch.
That certainly was a great haul of pallet wood. 👌🏾 Had you ever thought about welding yourself a pallet breaker ? A mate made me one, and I got to say they make life so much easier and quicker too. I've not lost or cracked a board unless it's already shot. Great progress video, mate. 👍🏾
This build came out amazing, it shows how recycling should be done.. amazing work Tim! Wish we were neighbors.. would pester the hell out of you ..lol.
I just found your channel and am really enjoying watching your videos. You are inspiring me to go out and get some pallets and doors and see if I can build something that will make music. Love your music too. Thanks for the inspirations
Hey Tim, thank you for the email! Somehow I lost it… I did get a chance to read it but if there’s any way for you to resend that I would really appreciate it!
I really like the idea of drawers that have the instruments that pull out. I would very much like to do the same thing for my music room! Awesome stuff man!
cheers! You can store more guitars on a rack (a video coming on that, too) but I also needed a place to keep cases when I sell one. Most of the "dead" storage will go under the bench seat, but this way I'll have at least a couple cases easily accessible for a quick sale.
Very good video. Loved seeing this build. I saw your other video about your power bank review. And how it powered your routers and sanders and guitars. Good stuff buddy! Cant wait to see the solar panel video.
cheers! That's the music that would be playing through the montage of drinking coffee, eating diner food and showing mug shots to people on the streets while they shake their heads and mouth, "no, I haven't seen him."
Very cool idea! I look forward to seeing how this all turns out! As someone who gives a lot of guitar lessons this would make a great mobile teaching studio, too!
yes! the table doubles as a retail shelf, mixing board station and guitar repair/setup bench and it could absolutely be a small recording studio and/or teaching room. It's bigger than the room I used to teach lessons in back in the day!
I enjoy your channel thanks for the videos. Just a thought, if panel removal is a real need, putting trim strips floor to ceiling at every joint may be a reoccurring pain that will protrude out from the wall surface and be subject to damage. Consider putting a chamfer or rounded edge on each wall section to disguise irregularities at these joints then future shelving and cabinets will not have to negotiate vertical protrusions when mounted on the walls.
I have no running water, limited electricity and some other down sides that I accept in trade for a lot of space and freedom to do what I want with it. I would easily pay the same here or more for similar space with heat and a bathroom :)
The Music Dome is looking even better by the day, I like how the kid is not being grabbed by the hands and given freedom to work where is proper, over all the project is awesome. Just one thing, the sing that says 'Make good music" is somehow wrong, either upside down or should be on the Outside, or,,, readable by the people standing outside when the hatch door is down. hope that's understandable.
I agonized over the placement of the words but stand by my decision :) When closed, the stage is a wall and the letters are upright. The flow of the truck is from front passenger door entrance to stage exit (there will be stairs) so customers are instructed to now go "make good music" as they leave. And when being used as a stage, it is the demand of the musicians performing to perform well, not the audience. Their job is to listen to good music. So I think I did it correctly. Love the "music dome" moniker.
I love the paneling look with the reclaimed pallet wood, but I'm noticing a distinct lack of hollow core doors here. I'm sure that will be rectified soon though. 😄 Looking good! Thanks for sharing!
Look up your local window automobile tinting rules and use the highest tint you can to reduce solar gain during the day. If you plan to have buyers walk around the deck you will need to figure out how to put railings and a hand rail on the steps you use. Planning any roll up shade awning like campers use for over the deck and the side door entry side?
As always, WOW!!!! Patience is a virtue and you sir have it in spades. Your attention to detail is amazing, and I cannot wait to see the finished product! Also, what are the wall hangers using as support beyond the pallet wall? Was curious how you built those spots out.
you mean the guitar wall hanger? that's just screwed in to the pallet wall, but through one of the supports. It's temporary, not a part of the final plan as I wouldn't really trust it. Totalboat Thixo is the only thing holding the supports to the walls, which is incredibly strong.
Hey dude! Great video as usual. My job in White Plains New York is throwing away a piano (hopelessly bad tuning stability, more trouble than it's worth to fix) and I wanted to post this as a Hail Mary in case you wanted to salvage it for wood. It has a beautifully unique look. Its a very old very dark wood. Let me know if you have any interest in picking it up :)
I appreciate the offer but I'll pass. I've dismantled a few pianos in my day and it's almost worth it, but sadly not when you factor in the moving them. thanks!
That kickback hurts yes Sir Only happen once but have a scare to remind me !🤪 Good seeing your son work At that age mine only skateboard or video games TFS Enjoyed $t@y $@f3 ...😷
@@timsway Yeah, last I looked even the cheapest contractor version was $1200. We have them at work for making skids for shipping. and one is in the building I work in but isn't used right now (too bad I can't sneak it out (~_^)) Two guys have nicked a finger with it, but the cuts were minor. company wide we go through a "bomb" every quarter when someone trips the safety accidentally, either by touching the blade too soon, or forgetting to turn it off when cutting aluminum. One across town in maintenance has had that happen twice (aluminum trip) and the one "replacing" the one in my building (distro center moved across the river into Michigan) was tripped the first day iirc by someone touching the blade after a cut.
they were all pretty smooth but warping/twisting in process is the issue. From experience I know that if I did that then put the walls together in the manner I did, there would still be high spots and still need sanding.
@@timsway , Makes sense. It's sometimes hard to know for sure what the properties of the material are (especially for re-claimed) via the video interface.
Hi Tim, I don't know another way to reach you, so: I have to say I was blown out of the water by "Uncle Doug Robot Speaker Cabinet" on RU-vid about a year ago. Maybe you could check it out for some ideas. He repairs lots of tube amps for guitar. Let me (us) know your thoughts! Thanks!
I know guy that had testicular event with a table saw. Not good! And the wood climbing over the blade is also bad news. As matter of a band saw can be a whole lot of bad news.
@@timsway Just this morning I was running a rectangular box around on the table saw, another guitar case. Thought about that the whole time. You stay safe too. And joiners also scare me.
