Mobile Scrap Cart for my Small Workshop
Переглядів 42328 днів тому
This was a quick one-day build which will prove to be a real help in keeping my small workshop organized. I was inspired by @MakeSomething to go a little overkill by taking the time to edgeband the cart prior to assembly. It gave the cart a nice finished look.

In this woodworking video I build a laminated pull-out shelf in my pantry to accommodate heavy pots and pans. It was my first chance to use my new guide rail square and it worked perfectly. Thanks to @wittworks and @bentswoodworking for the recommendation on this tool. And my wife was super excited to have easy access to all of her cooking gear!

    I guess you mean 28.375"/6=4.729166666666667 as apposed to 721mm/6=120.1666666666667 Maybe Old Sun and Bu works better? Maybe rounding works. Any system will give a fraction, Decimal fractions are always better. Everything depends on the thinker. Think 3 times, Measure twice, cut once and always remember Murphy (of Murphy's Law Fame) was an optimist! I build all my cabinets in metric using (32mm multiples) for balanced panels, but most other things in Imperial. I really like your miter station build, but I dislike converting imperial to metric or the other wat around. I build to the measurements of my plan. Now do yourself a favor and Buy a Kapex KS 120 REB. I do not recommend any Festool Drill or Driver simply because the Bit Price is ridiculous, I use DeWalt 20V and Bosch 12V. I do like Festool Corded Routers and the LR 32 Cabinet system that works with the OF1010 and the OF 1400. Whenever possible I use CMT Metric 1/4" shank router bits. I own no Festool Battery powered tools, None. Again. I really like your video and Miter station.

      @SmallProjectCentral 2 місяці тому

      Thanks @royr327! 30+ years ago I had a one-man cabinet shop and had a Blum boring machine with the 7 spindle line boring attachment. I built everything on the 32mm system and it worked great. Fast forward to today, I'm literally starting over. I've definitely been eyeing the Kapex 120. I'm trying to figure out my next "big" spend (bonus check dependent LOL). I'd like to invest in a SawStop and decent router table. And dust control is paramount. So many decisions!

  • @shawnhillis5829
    @shawnhillis5829 2 місяці тому

    Nice job! Cut your festool bags at the bottom and use a small piece of wood to roll it up, clamp it with small clamps, and just empty the bag that way. It barely leaves any dust in the actual container and you save THOUSANDS in buyer their bags. (I bet someone that’s handy with a needle and thread could sew a zipper on it)!
