How to Make an Awesome Wooden Bike Basket
I made myself a super cool wooden bike basket for my electric bike. It's definitely much fancier than it needs to be, but who cares? It was a really fun build.
Normally I create my projects in Fusion 360, and then build them from precise plans I generate. This time, though, I just kind of made it up as I went along. I tried to show my thought process in the video, let me know if you like this sort of thing, and if it was clear the way I was working things out in my head.
NOTE: this bike basket is pretty big, since I sized it for my camera bag, and is also HEAVY. Since it's for my electric bike, I didn't really bother about the weight. If I were going to make one for my regular bike, I'd make it MUCH lighter.

Easy DIY Holiday Decoration
Переглядів 1243 роки тому
Here's an easy DIY Christmas decoration that can be made with minimal tools. I used lots of tools because I have them, but you could also just do this with some pieces of scrap wood, a jigsaw, and a sander. I actually made this thing last year, but too late to post the video, so I've had the finished product on my bookshelf all year, and it's really fun to have! If you need a last minute woodwo...

Rolling Plywood Shop Cart
Переглядів 19 тис.4 роки тому
I built this table to solve my own shop issue - bench space. This plywood work bench is a simple addition to any shop that is hard to live without. The ability to move projects around the shop as you work on them so they are closer to different machines is a serious time saver. The ability to store my air compressor underneath while keeping it mobile also adds versatility to my pneumatic tools....
Setting up my new Wood Shop (with difficulty)
Переглядів 2524 роки тому
ua-cam.com/channels/9jWRsFvIu0bYmCLrZ5freg.html You may notice that a few of my previous videos featured a "new shop" that wasn't this one. You're correct. This is my new NEW shop - bigger, cleaner, and quieter. Given the concrete walls that surround my space I needed something that was adjustable and adaptable. I need to be able to hang tools, store wood and optimize my work shop flow. This vi...

How to Make a Stool out of 1/2 sheet of plywood
Переглядів 3 тис.4 роки тому
I made a very simple stool for use in my workshop. I used a little less than 1/2 sheet of plywood. I used a router table, track saw, jig saw, and sander, nail gun, drill and drivers, glue, pin nails, and screws. You could make this with a lot fewer tools. It's a simple project that yields a useful result. This is the DiResta video that I mentioned. I used the same approach as he did, with sever...
How to Make a Solid Wooden Headboard (Mistakes Were Made)
Переглядів 7415 років тому
I made a new headboard for my bed out of hard maple, with a faux live edge, finished with a white wood wax. It came out great! It’s a fairly straightforward project, basically just a big panel glue-up with a faux live edge. But for some reason it was also the biggest pain in my neck of anything I've ever made. On the plus side, I don’t think I’ve ever learned more on a single project than I did...
How to Make a Pen Holder

How to Make Shadow Boxes
Переглядів 8 тис.5 років тому
This week I made shadow boxes out of cherry wood, to hold my friend's collages. I used box joints, and made neat little retainer clips for the glass, using magnets. This video has a fairly detailed explanation of how to mill wood square. I also had a few issues with some pretty bad tear out, since I didn't use a fresh backer board in my box joint jig, and I go over how I dealt with this problem...
Track Case for Festool Track Saw
Переглядів 3,9 тис.5 років тому
I made a track case for my Festool track saw. Festool makes a great track saw - I have the TS55, and I love the cuts it makes. The thing about track saws, though, is that they are only as good as their tracks. If you damage the tracks past a certain point, you may as well just use a regular old circular saw. And like all things Festool, the tracks are not cheap. So it pays to take care of them,...

    I made something similar for my wife’s Cricut station. Her favorite colour is purple so of course I made it out of Purple Heart. No laser cutter for me so it was a few hours in front of the drill press and then some careful sanding and dremel tooling to get the holes all looking nice.

    I do own a track saw and have been thinking of building a case to keep my track in. I find it somewhat ironic that all the videos I have watched so far none of them have used their track saws to make the box.

    What I now do to ensure the rear fence is square is to have one side of the base and the corresponding fence rail past the edge of the table saw base. Screw the fence at the opposite end to the base (actually the base to the fence) and then clamp the longer overhanging side. If not square using the 3 or 5 cut method, clamp a block to the overhanging end plus/minus the width of a feeler gauge strip and re-clamp the block. Now you have no extra holes. When the fence is square, drill and screw the base to the rail. Thanks to Nick Engler at Workshop Companion, for his tip on doing it.

  • @jimhendrick5776
    @jimhendrick5776 Рік тому

    Question if you would. - Have you had any issues from the replacable fence insert? I am building a sled and have a concern that the accuracy is largely dependent on the fence and if the insert is not precisely the same thickness and aligned with the rest of the fence - it could introduce errors. Or am I overthinking this?

    • @ParameterWorkshop
      @ParameterWorkshop Рік тому

      I haven't had any issues with the fence insert, maybe because it's a pretty tight fit, and also because it doesn't get cut all the way to the top of the piece, so there's more holding power from the tape? I did end up making the sled insert larger so it could be screwed down. Trying to keep it flat with tape alone proved too annoying in the long run.

    fine! but the taillight would be better protected when still on the old hight but more backwards shifted to be in line with the back of the basket. (this way it would be also be more reflecting rays of the head lights of following vehicles) putting the lock on the basket is surely practically.

    Thanks for this. I might've missed it in the video--but I don't think you showed how the zero clearance inserts stay in place after you cut the kerf or dado thru the sled. I'm assuming double stick tape--but maybe you have another trick. Thanks again.
