After checking it at 0.25 speed, i am not sure about that. Maybe the sharpness and location of the blade was the culprit? Edit: op was right, and i was wrong.
Im looking at it with my super secret NSA decoding machine and it was running backwards. Because there was no shavings going in the direction of the blade.
@@zsomborszarka2616 Did You check at 9:12 with .25 speed? I think it's wrong direction. e.g. saw dust in original video collects on blade's side. In this video on opposite side.
Definately spining the wrong way, the wood should be spinned into the blade, so either change the rotation on the drill or change the side the blade is mounted on :))
Teacher never let John have a pencil sharper after so many incidents. So he never got the basics. Like you have to rotate the pencil into the blade. But if all else fails shove it in harder and let friction do the work!!! 😂😂😂
I actually bought a picnic table like that this summer. It was built by carpentry students at a technical school near me. They build them for practice and then sell them to support the program.
Yeah, the one he built was terrible because when you fold the table part down, you have 2 benches that face away from each other. My guess is he bought the plans from the tik tok creator who did not actually make the bench in the video and made some janky plans to scam people out of a few bucks.
The Woodworking Plan he bought is not the same table as shown in the TikTok video. So he did build it to plan, just not to the Tik Tok vid. The Tik Tok Video table does look more appealing with how it's constructed and tilts.
I was just about to say this but saw a few others pointed it out, but I'm pretty sure the setup for that dowel cutter was backwards and you basically turned it into a fire started instead.
"Always cut your longest pieces first." Best advice my Father-in-law (b. 1909) ever gave me. He was a cabinet maker and I treasure the times we worked together. He was more a Daddy to me than my Father was (I worked with my Father-in-law for 25 years, but my father, who never threw a ball to me, I lived with as a parasite for 17 years until I went to college . . . if you get that reference).
So I'm a metal worker...always avoided working with wood. Found your channel a week ago because of the pallet videos. Then I was like "if his pallet videos are this good his wood working videos are probably as good or better". Just ordered some wood tools as a result of your channel and I'm excited to dig in. Would love to see some tutorials. Really enjoy your content mate.
You're team is the bomb. they get the humor and now they're sending it back to you. I LOVE the interaction. reminds me of my Army days. This type of interaction is good for YOUR soul.
he was also spinning the the dowel in the wrong direction and that's why it burned lmao if it was spinnign the other way it would have CUT THE WOOD and not RUBBED IT!! lmao
Rob Cosman has a video on making a Dowel jig similar to the fire starter you were making. I think he suggested using exotic woods with high natural oil content like wenge that will self lubricate. He also tapers the in feed side of the jig.
I have that Makita. On the left at the back of the slide rails, there's a black 1/2" spring loaded pin. Pull it out, twist it 90 degrees and it locks the slide all the way back. There's no way to lock it partially. Does he deliberately mess everything up for eyeballs? "What's great about decimals..." Literally how the metric system was invented hundreds of years ago.
Wish we could post pictures to comments here... I made the miter saw bowl last week out of some pine scraps I had laying around. 1-1/2 wide pieces glued crisscross & stacked a couple layers. It came out pretty cool. Used jigsaw to cut it into rounded shape & beveled the bottom a tad with my router. Have some hardwood scraps glued up & waiting for another day to do that.
I like the little picnic table/benches. They could do for improv work desks for laptops. It's like little school desks for kids. Lean it against a wall, and you have a tiny desk. Definitely not for larger folks, but the benches are cute. Also, it looks like the dowel spinner was going the wrong way.
Spray can shaker. Old blade. Drill holes in blade and quick clamp. Bolt old blade to quick clamp. Insert blade into recipe. Shake away. Now if you need it you can unbolt the clamp.
The chop saw bowl technique is pretty cool. If it doesn't exist already, you should come up with a jig to make a matching outside profile on a table saw or disk sander. Im sure a ton of people would love to be able to make bowls without the investment or learning curve of a lathe.
From this video I learned a shortcut for the "fire drill" method of starting a fire. Now I feel prepared for any survival situation...as long as I have a fully charged battery.
Sunday morning coffee with John, my fav part of the weekend…..other than sleeping late but John is cool with it. He’s patient waiting for me to wake then brush my teeth, then pee, then take trash out, then make coffee…..the point is he’s a major part of my Sunday funday. 😅
We used to do something like the sazall paint shaker in the metal shop I used to work at. We used a jigsaw and a hose clamp and chucked the whole contraption up into a bench vice. It's not pretty, but it got the job done
I think one of the harder parts of woodworking is the creativity. I think it would be interesting if after you built a social media project you talk about what things you might add or subtract from the project. This would be more of “idea generating” than a critique of the project. 👍
Dip your screws in oil before driving them home. They go in smooth, and seal up next to them for rott protection. I use a shot glass and a few screws soaking as i go.
Love the way you add random comedy along with interesting content, think the chemistry works perfectly, that's why you get a shit tom of views, love the channel.
At 18:37, the "better judgement" is used to connect the horizontal bar on the back of the benches. But that puts them under the table, so they're in the way of your feet. I would have placed them on the other side so they won't be in the way as much
John, being human means we are not perfect. However, checking rotation direction making towels is a must. I was well pleased that you made some great copies. Good post mate 👍
I have to have a rueful chuckle when I see things that I built years ago that are now going viral. When I got my first sliding power mitre box, a guy in the store actually suggested the bowl thing (mid '90s, as I recall) and I tried it and it worked great. Never even thought about it again until now 😂
9:00 min… John burns the dowel round. Instead of reevaluating, he proceeds to get squirrely and brute force it. 😂😂😂. Oh and If anyone was curious he was going the wrong direction with the drill. The wood was just spinning on the bottom of the plane blade. It would have worked fine if he reversed it.
Can you recreate the videos of a guy running a piece of wood through a small lunch box planer or removing bark with draw knife on a live edge slab? I absolutely love those.
Lucky for me I have a lathe lol. I do love the paint can shaker idea. I would use an old blade and drill out that stop at the end. Then use that as my primary rivet hole. Then make a few more goin up the blade. Then a few "safety" zipties just for my own added safety and I think it would work a lot better. Also, I would only use it vertically, pointed down to ease the stress on the blade tang.
In the section where you build the table, your screws look like they're going in so smoothly! I have the biggest issue with stripping screws, and really struggling to get longer screws into wood in my projects. I'm not sure if the problem is my bits, my drill, my wood, or my technique. But what do you suggest I try? My drill seems to have the power, but I'm just shredding through the screw heads so easily. Appreciate any tips!
The bowl type project went pretty well and yeah it was a bit sketchy with how close the fingers got to the blade. the Bench type project went pretty well might want to put some kind of latch on the under side to help keep it aligned and make it a little more secure in the table configuration.
Seen that you had the cutting part on the wrong side so thats why your were burning the dales instead of cutting your drill spins towards the right and you had the blade on the left.
