Hi Timothy, I love your work, I see your videos from the beginning of the channel and every time I watch the videos I love it more every day, I can watch your videos thousands and thousands of times and I never tire of seeing them, I wish I had a workshop like yours , someday I would love to visit you and see that magnificent workshop and your magnificent machines like Festool and Felder. A big hug.
I have to agree. One of the best shops I've seen. Frank Howarth has a very nice shop as well but each shop is created to suit the builder's task whether for hobby or for profit. They're all good. I've see some really nice projects done in a corner of a basement with only a few hand tools so it's what floats your boat. Nice video Timothy!
That is one impressive collection of woodworking tools fit into a very nice shop. The MFSC is a pretty versatile tool in itself. The finished desk was also quite impressive. Thanks for the video.
Timothy, your shopcart MFSC is the next great thing after your amazing MFTC. Absolut great idea and impressive construction work. Thank you very much for sharing these things with us!!!
Your shop is amazing. Your woodworking skills are extremely impressive. And last but not least your engineering is creative, mechnically sound and beyond most peoples abilities.
The shaper cutter has a bearing the follows a jig, I'm only taking away a few mm of material. I do have special protection guides for curved work but none works with these extreme shapes.
A shaper huh? Haven't seen one those until now. I'm used to seeing the the bearing at the top that's why I drew a blank. I get stuck on such silly things sometimes. Thanks for your reply and keep up the good work.
You are incredibly efficient. i got the plans for your cart the other day and looking forward to the build, Great to see your videos again. its been awhile.
Ik kan alleen maar alle andere commentaren beamen. Een top atelier met top gerief en een top schrijnwerker-meubelmaker. Altijd leuk en leerrijk om jouw video's te bekijken. Marc - Hoevenen België
Je schrijft perfect Engels bij de commentaar bij je handelingen. Ik ben erg blij dat je ook Nederlands praat. J'ai une grande admiration pour ton travail . tu est un superbe menuisier.
Tim, I have to ask but does the sheer volume you have to produce to fulfill you orders take away from the love of working with wood? It seems, to me, that you could get lost in the process of shaving time and being more efficient that you miss out on making something with your own hands. However, I marvel at your ability and skill and continue to watch and learn.
Tough question, I always strived to make production as smooth as possible, eliminating everything I considered "annoying", like cutting shapes by hand, spending hours sanding them, cutting tenons on the table saw, sanding worktops with a belt sander etc... When you have dozens of similar parts to make, it gets frustrating quickly. I pretty much got to a point where I am happy with my methods and don't think much could be improved, however sometimes I do take pleasure in a challenging off-project that isn't calculated from start to finish, and which requires more thought. But that can become a frustration as well if you can't resolve every problem quickly, then you long back to making those things you can make with your eyes closed and where you don't have to spend all evenings planning stuff.
@@TimothyWilmots Thanks for the great reply. It is obvious that you work efficiently, and that has to be fun (on its own) to figure out how to avoid wasted time. I do the same in my work and moving seamlessly from one task to the next is rewarding. Best to you.
Fantastic cart, beautiful work shop. The only this I find wrong, and I don’t say this out of badness or jealousy but purely for my concern over your safety. That is a beautiful floor but it seems to me to be a bit too slippy. I recently had an accident with a table saw because of a floor that was not as polished as yours. I was unlucky to have the accident but very luck not to lose my hand. Have a look into that my friend, stay safe and keep up the good work.
Very good example and demonstration not only of your multifunction cart but of a functional and smart shop layout and workflow. Very good job! Ps.: Do I need to buy several pieces of hardware to build your multifunction cart? Or can it be all shop made? I live in Peru; the hardware to build some woodworking tools are quite limited in this country :( There are no T-tracks, no threaded inserts, no quick action/toggle clamps, no spray adhesive, etc, etc. I would like to build your multifunction cart (buying your plans, of course). Keep up the great work!
The only hardware you would really need are the wheels and two small springs. A jig to tap threads in wood is handy as well, otherwise wood bolts and threaded inserts, I suppose you can get either one online somehow? (It could work without threads, but there would be more play I think)
Timothy Wilmots... I’ve been watching your videos for quite a while now and I’m still blown away at how beautiful your shop is! You’re pretty fast worker as well! Did you make the multifunction cart? Did you get all your machinery at once? You probably won’t want to say and I totally understand if you don’t want to but you must of had to take out a business loan, no? BTW that’s a beautiful desk too! What is the cut out for on the front of the desktop?
What brand of hard wax mixture are you using? Or do you mix it yourself? Is it a wax/oil mixture? If so what kind of oil? Thanks, Just bought your multi-function table plans and look forward to having it!
Timothy, greetings from san diego. I would like to ask how you make a living and how you came to own this beautiful workshop? One day I wish to be in your situation my friend
Hello Drewdy, you can find more details on my website, but in short I started woodworking as a hobby and it gradually became my full time job. Started with barely any tools and bought more whenever I could afford to. Nothing out of the ordinary, no family fortune or lottery, just work.
Timothy, always blown away by what you make. I’m looking to upgrade my slider to a Felder. What series is yours and what are your thoughts on the Kappa? I do mostly commercial casework and frameless cabinets. Thanks
It's a K700s, I chose it budget-wise and to have a uniform shop. It suits my needs though an automatic parallel guide would have been a nice option to take. I try to work as much as possible with solid wood, and only really use plywood/veneer panels. The 900, Format4 and Kappa range are obviously superior, especially if you work with panels mostly. But I don't have a hands on experience.
Kiln dried hard wood needs less than a week depending on the thickness, soft wood needs 2 weeks in my experience. If you respect that then the woo d won't move or warp noticeably.
Since yesterday I have been watching your video's on the MFSC. Help educate me here, what are the benefits of your table saw over traditional tables saws? Also, you have bought into two very expensive tool lines + plus have an extraordinary shop. How did you go about acquiring everything?
My table saw is called a "format saw" or "panel saw", the advantage is that it can cut complete panels and the sliding wagon supports the panels. The cross cut arm also allows to make precise cross cuts. This is the only type of saw you'd find in a European shop. Cabinet saws stopped being used in the 70's here. I started with little and upgraded gradually, you can find a bit more back story on my web site. benchworks.be/en/diy/
Stanley Pearse Hi Mr. Pearse. You can learn more about that beautiful table saw of you type "FELDER® - Sliding table saw - benefits" here on RU-vid. It surely is worth its really high cost. But for panels I do prefer the wall panel saw. A carpenter acquires and upgrades his tools on the way :)
Off topic a little, how long would you leave the wood to settle? 00:53 I've found that sometimes it will warp as it comes out of the saw. Also that when taking a dead straight piece from a pack in a box store it's bent by the time I get it to the bench. I'm talking about pine in both instances. So the stack is holding it straight, only for it to bend when released.
For Kiln dried hard wood, 4-5 days is a minimum. As you noted, when resawing you expose a new side to the air and that needs to settle and get the stress out. Otherwise it would start warping after being transformed into furniture. For soft woods like pine I try to let it settle 2 weeks, the humidity is generally higher and the movement more extreme.
Trend DC400 but they don't make them any more, it's the same as the Akeda jig which you apparently can't get either. It's a shame because it's fatastic.
Hi Timothy, great video again. I m wondering , why u r not using your festool router with the Trend DC 400? I consider buying one but just have the OF 1400. Whould that work out? Probably u can help me out with that question. regards till
There are several reasons, the dovetail jig needs a special base plate on the router, which is time consuming to mount and adjust. Also setting the depth of the bit right is very time consuming. Therefore it's best to have a router permanently set up with the right base and bit, so there are no adjustments and settings required. And lastly, I tried the of1010 but it's not good for this, you need a 2-handed router with knobs as low as possible. The fixed base Bosch is ideal for that.
