Tool recommendations - shop tour
After owning my woodworking shop for a couple of years, I have some experience and opinion about the tools I use. Some of them are really great, and some of them are not so much.
Links to some of the tools and shop upgrades mentioned in this video:

Simple coffee table is not so simple to make
Переглядів 285Рік тому
Often the more simple an object looks or works, the more thought has been put into it to make that happen. Join me in this episode to see what took me to make this coffee table from an old slice of oak log. #coffetable #epoxy #woodworking #liveedge
Live edge bathroom vanity from an old oak slab
Переглядів 885Рік тому
I turned this old European oak slab into a bathroom vanity for my client. It was first time for me using epoxy resin (I do not like river tables, but fixing some defects with epoxy seems reasonable to me). Sometimes an easy request from a client may turn into a quite challenging project. That's when you get more creative and learn something new. I think this turned out great, and I'm glad my cl...
Super strong lumber rack (free plans!)
Переглядів 1 тис.2 роки тому
Organizing a workshop or garage might be intimidating, so I built this lumber storage rack to free up my workshop floor space. With more organized workplace, I is easier to quickly find tools or material, and your overall workflow becomes more efficient. This pile of lumber was laying on the floor since I built the workshop, and it consumed a significant amount of floor space, and by stacking i...
Great looking workshop cabinets from low quality lumber

Metabo SPA 1200 Dust/Chip Extractor Unboxing & Review
Переглядів 10 тис.2 роки тому
This small dust/chip extractor Metabo SPA 1200 is great, it totally changed my jointing and planing, because even a powerful shop vac was not sufficient to catch bigger amount of chips. BTW, this video is not sponsored, I am sharing my honest opinion. #metabo #chip extractor #workshop #diy #woodworking #review #unboxing
Workbench from construction grade lumber

Cabinets, workbenches, racks and carts do not have to be made from the highest quality materials. They will get abused, so it's better to make them strong than pretty. And sometimes you can get both!

      @jonasvaleisa 2 місяці тому

      Hey! Thanks for the comment. My equipment is actually quite limited. I have maybe 2-3k $ worth of equipment. Even a decent table saw would cost more. So I would say this is doable for most of the viewers. But of course, the same would be hard to achieve with just a hammer and a screwdriver. The understanding of basic equipment is quite different for everyone.

    I watched a video on cabinet building the other day and he used wooden shims but spoke to one of his fiends on the phone and said use the plastic shims as there more consistent maybe for another build ?

    • @jonasvaleisa
      @jonasvaleisa 2 місяці тому

      For sure plastic shims are more consistent. But I did not rely on the shims - as shown in the video, I attached boards with screws and cabbinets sit on those boards, not shims ;)

  • @ColCurtis
    @ColCurtis 3 місяці тому

    I think it would be better to sit on the shims instead of relying on the sheer strength of a few screws.

      @trokt2 5 місяців тому

      Not just power tools, you need to get a whole workshop actually. But don't let that discourage you. Besides the tools shown, you might also want to get a heat gun to deal with resin. You don't need a jointer, but it would make things much easier though. For a beginner, I recommend to buy sheets. Black mdf and plywood and you can have a similar look. With a lot less tools and work.

    That is a very impressive restoration of a machine that seems to have been left for dead. Where I come from, we always say, "They don't build them like they used to." Your persistence may have provided you with a solid machine that will work to your benefit for decades. The green paint is perfect, and assuming the cast iron surface is clear and flat, you'll have the bragging rights and a story to tell. It isn't perfect, but it's a very nice machine, and it has personality. Clearly that was a lot more work than your video could explain. Congratulations!

    • @jonasvaleisa

      If I recall correctly, it was 45x4mm screws, with flat bottomed heads. You have to be careful though - when using pocket screws on a pine lumber it's really easy to drive them too deep.

    It's a very impressive job you're doing (have done). For future projects requiring water-based wall paint, instead of thinning paint with water, I'd like to suggest a small miracle called Flotril in the US. It is added to water-based paint to make it flow more evenly, and flatten out to avoid streaks from rolling the paint. In my experience, it also makes brushed paint appear flat. It's not too expensive, and one liter can fortify several gallons of paint. I've used it for all of my painting/repainting in my home, and the results are very nice. My walls appear to have been sprayed instead of rolled. Great job on the building! It would be a residential home here, but we have a milder climate!

    • @dbryceman
      @dbryceman Рік тому

      I have to say, my memory might be failing me, but the product is called Floetrol now, as far as I can tell. At any rate, it is a very good supplement to water-based paint. Apologies if I sent you into a fruitless search because I did not spell the name correctly.
