I have one amendment to the review. The on/off switch is in a bit of an awkward spot. If the fence is all the way to the left it is a little tricky to reach the switch. Maybe a minor deal but something to consider.

Thanks for taking the time to say so, I appreciate it.

I would go brick and mortor if you can. I might stay away from box stores like HD and go to a place with knowledgable sales people. I bought mine at Woodcraft here in CT, but be careful, they have so much great stuff you might leave with a few things you didn't go in there for.

Since I am not a big guy, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. It's been great having that much resaw capacity.

Glad you liked the video. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I am very happy with mine.

Wow, that sounds like quite the jig. I'm really just getting started with this and mentioned there is definitely room for refinement. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.

I might have to borrow "my sketchy log holding jig". Seems appropriate. I'm glad I'm not alone.

Thanks Dan, I'll try to tighten things up.

Glad it was useful. I hope you end up with a new saw. You will be amazed at how well the new saws perform.

I got the push stick as well. One of the first things I did with the bandsaw was make a wooden push stick out of some Cherry. A little less scary.

Thanks, glad it was helpful. I'd love to review them all if the companies want to give me a few.

Thanks for the tip, just tried it and you are right. But it's a fine line between going over the wheel and the whole door coming off. The fact of the matter is I don't stress about little things like that. It's still a great saw.

Mine is about the same. Is yours a Delta?

Hey thanks! I'll try to tighten up my game.

I know! I mention that in the video. My saw is really old and it's a pain to deal with a riving knife on it. Maybe after 5000 more subscribers I can get a better saw lol.

It really is a great saw. Except for the funny short fence when not resawing I can't find anything really that I think needs improving.

I'm glad it was helpful. Now if I can convince my wife I'm good for something.

I hope my video helps. It's a tool that can be a little quirky, but once you get it it's great.

I believe my Delta attachment has a couple collars that will accomodate 40mm. Check their website. Good luck, I hope it fits your drill press.

Glad to hear. I hope it's working well for you.

I hope it helps. I have a hard time condensing projects into a video that will keep people interested but explain how to do something at the same time. If I left something out you are interested in knowing, leave a comment and I'll fill you in.

Hey, thanks. I try to keep the shop organized but not always super clean. By the way, as a fellow Chiefs fan, how the heck did they lose to the Lions opening night?

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad I was able to use those old glides for something, I hate throwing things away.

Thanks. As a self-proclaimed failure at finishing it's a simple poly.

Thanks. Feeler gauge is a good idea, I'm going to try that.

Thanks. It has worked out well.

I really enjoy thoughtful comments, so thank you. I did make a follow up video of me using the jig! I only show making a traditional dovetail joint since based on my data people have pretty short attention spans. I hope you watch and enjoy it.

That's funny! I hope you got something out of the videos other than I've bought two new tools in the last 15 years. I bought the router for the dovetail jig but also because my old one is on it's way out and underpowered. Good catch though. Happy woodworking!

@@twoforkswoodworks389 I did .. I subscribed ... Harvey just upgraded that gauge

Cool, I'm glad you got something from the videos. How long ago did they upgrade it? I haven't had mine very long.

@@twoforkswoodworks389 sadly 2 days ago

Thanks. I really try to keep it simple. Like me.

Thanks Todd. I try to make things easier but that's a tricky jig to explain. Keep at it and it gets better. All your measurements need to be pretty precise. Most important enjoy yourself and be safe.

Hey thanks, I'm glad you liked the video. Also you must have done a good job training my son 'cause he got his CDL, so thank you.

@Twoforkswoodworks Oh wow, that's awesome. I don't think I was there the day he tested. I've only had him one time, so i can't take all the credit, lol. He did very well with everything smart kid.

Your welcome Road King. I hope the video helped. Just take your time with it and try various patterns for drilling the mortises, it can be a little frustrating, but once you figure out a good way for you they're great... like most things in life.

As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, the video wasn't to explain how to use the jig it was to point out where a first time user, like myself, might get hung up by the directions. I realize it's not "rocket science", which I probably understand more than some of those directions. I also never said that it was difficult to set bit heights, I said it was unclear where to begin with the height. Obviously, once you get the concept, which isn't clear in the instructions, the actual adjusting isn't hard. I hope that clears it up a little and thanks for your feedback.

I watched your video to see what a house pile was. You weren't kidding, you do have a lot. Nice job setting up . I will watch your videos to see how you work around them.

Give it a try Eric, once set up they are fun and useful. When you get through the hassle of the set up the results are custom looking and pretty easy. I liked the expression " bought used but never used". I can understand why. Good luck.

Jim, I'm sorry if I left something out. If I understand your question right, you are confused about mounting the collar that the bits slide into. On my drill press it slips over the part of the drill press that moves up and down (the spindle) right above the chuck. The collar slip fits on and then is snugged down with the nut on the collar. On my older Delta Table Top drill press I had to lower the spindle a little bit to expose an area on the spindle where the collar will mount. I hope that helps.

Hey Steve, glad you liked it. I've just about finished the bench and there are a few design ideas I'd probably adjust. I'll put out a video with those ideas, but I've found that most people who watch my videos are two steps ahead of me in general. I try my best.

Thanks! It turned out pretty well for a bunch of scrap. Better than MDF for sure.

Thanks a lot. First project I used the bench for, a fireplace mantel, out came the extension and it worked great.

Thanks Mike. Repurposing material and things like those glides is a goal here at Two Forks. There are way too many things going to the landfill that should be saved. It's not always easy, but it sure is satisfying.

Thanks Stumbling Bear. I'm not sure it's a good thing that people can now hear me better, but I am excited to put the new bench to work. I held on to those old glides forever, being someone who can't throw things away, and now I'm happy I did. One for the good guys.

Hey, Buzz. Interesting tips, thanks. You are right about the bit drifting. If you want nice accurate holes that is the way to go. If you are lazy like me and are going for least amount of effort, I cut less than full holes. I hope my video helped a little and thanks again for your comment. I don't know all there is to know about woodworking, not even close, so I really appreciate other people's feedback. It's my favorite part of having a channel.

Thanks for the compliment on the shop. With regard to the planer issue, I was trying to illustrate how each tool used without jigs works. I believe most novice woodworkers think running a board through a planer will make it flat and I was trying to suggest that wasn't necessarily the case. You are right though, jigs will make the planer more efficient and as I progress down this journey I will try to be more clear. With regard to the router, I had my table recessed but I found I couldn't ever get it dead flat. And as I'm sure you know, any undulations make for an imperfect rout . I don't run a lot of large boards through the router, but if I do, I will attach a board to the end of the table so it doesn't float. I really appreciate your comments and thanks for helping me be a better woodworker.

I might have to. Either move or start riding a horse to work.

@@twoforkswoodworks389 Connecticut law treats horses as personal property, requiring municipalities to assess them at 70% of their fair market value.

I'm packing my bags.

Working on it Jason. Unfortunately, I went to the Mets game the other night and as a souvenir I got Covid. On the rebound and will finish Part 2 soon. Thanks for watching!

@@twoforkswoodworks389 get well soon!

Wish I could take credit for it, but I got it from someone else. But I agree, it's really helpful.

Let me know how it turns out.

@@twoforkswoodworks389 will do 👍🏻

Thanks for the video. Would like to see more on the finger joint jig. I made one from another UA-camr and it's much more complicated and I can't seem to adjust it. Keep tearing it apart and rebuilding. On my third attempt now. LOL!

Sorry to hear. I was dumb enough to be using my jointer without a guard. Learning the hard way sucks. At least I was able to teach my kids fractions with my hand.

@@twoforkswoodworks389 same here i was trying to pass a 5 inch piece across it knowing it was a dumb idea. I just figured i could move in time if it went awry. Guess not. Lol

Thanks for the advice. I honestly didn't really expect people to watch, I was kinda doing it for fun. If things progress I'll improve the quality of my equipment. Thanks for watching.

Hey Milo. I'm the first to admit that I stink at applying finishes. If I have a large surface, like a table top, I'll have someone else put the finish on. So I'm the wrong guy to ask about that. Your counter sounds cool though. Next counter I build I'll film it for a video.
