How to build a floating dock with plastic barrels
Nice build!...getting ready to do one myelf, I'll add some cross braces between the joists just to make it more stable.
Thank you! I’m still very happy with it. Hope your build goes well
Thankyou for this. Very helpful
You are very welcome! Good luck with your build :)
Thanks for showing the door to block access to the nesting boxes and for your review in general.
You are welcome. Thank you so much for the comment!
Don’t cut down my autumn olives! 2:19
I cut trails next to them so you can pick the berries easier
I like this but how would this get winterized. I live in VT.
You could possibly add a heat lamp. I’m no chicken expert but my daughter has done a lot of research and closed up coops can actually cause more freeze risk than well ventilated coops. Here in Ohio we have negative 5-10F temps and we did get a few combs with frost bite. But the chickens are fine. You may need to research this more because I’m not qualified. Thanks for watching and the comment :)
We built swimming rafts like this and used thick cable to secure the barrels to the underside of the raft. Also hit the edges with a belt sander so the lumber doesn't scrape legs.
Wow, this is a great solution for our same problem. Thank you for sharing!!!!!
You are welcome! I thought this solution would go viral but guess not lol. You will like the results! Thanks for the comment :)
Chris, my favorite shape is much flatter, more umbrella shape. And I like to leave a natural edge o the cap
Thank you! I have made some just like that but much smaller. I like to experiment with new shapes but the risk is turning a few duds lol. We had some good laughs as a family with this one haha
What if you raised it up so it wasn't sandwiched between the board? I would want to give stuck shavings and such some room to fall?
Sorry for the slow reply. I don’t think this would solve the issue I’m having. It’s really not shavings that is causing the issue. It is really moisture and mud freezing. It really doesn’t fill the slot but just enough gets in there from their feet and then freezes. It’s just too much force for the door to break. It’s kind of like a car window that slightly freezes and will not come down during a heavy frost. I think someone could rig up a warmer or something to keep it from freezing but that would require electric or bigger battery supply.
2 notch is enough
Thanks I’m not an edger expert by any means lol
A lot of good improvement tips. I'm working on one that places the nest boxes at floor level rather than at the top (but also with a door). That's always been a major design flaw to me if you consider chicken behavior -- everything in them says roost as high as possible - so roosting in the nest boxes is a fight one just doesn't need to have. Besides, the space under the nest boxes useless because chickens won't sleep there.
I haven’t had too much issue with roosting in the nest boxes but the area below the nesting boxes is wasted space for sure. I would make sure they can’t roost above the nesting boxes and poop inside them while roosted. It’s been so hot this summer in Ohio that mine gave up on roosting inside the coop all together. They are all roosting on the roof this summer lol. But they are still faithfully using the nesting boxes to lay which is good. Hopefully they go back to inside the coop when it cools down. Thanks for watching and the comment. Hope your build goes well and the improvements work out!
Um, there is a drill (8:34) RIGHT THERE. Probably can throw the bracing bit all the way in the back of the toolbox.
The big one is a driver and not a drill. The small one can’t handle drill bits that big. I don’t remember why I didn’t go get my big battery powered drill. Maybe I didn’t have a drill bit that big or was too lazy to walk back to the house. I do know that you cannot match the torque of a brace and bit. Not that I needed that here though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I made a shaker style wall clock with pine that has the same markings almost like birds eye. do you know if there is a name for this type of markings in pine or what it is?
No I don’t. I was remodeling my bathroom and buying cheap boards to paint for trim. I saw 3-4 with this figure and had to buy them for a future project. Definitely pretty neat wood. Going to make a music book shelf for my kids above their keyboard and just put a clear coat on it.
Thanks very much for all the info. Yes, you save me some money 😊👍
You are welcome. Let me know if I can ever help with anything. I appreciate your feedback and comment :)
I just bought the system and at best I get 6” Hg. Not nearly enough vacuum. Suggestions?
Have you tried on more than one piece of wood? Some wood is so open grained that I sometimes get low vacuum until I wipe on some wood butter which fills the pores. I am assuming your air compressor is at 90 psi or more? If so I would try placing on something non porous like a dinner plate or cookie sheet. If you still get low numbers then I think it is defective and they should send you a replacement.
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle Thanks for the quick reply. If I do not have the line attached and place my finger on the nipple of the vacuum generator, I only get 6 Hg at that point, so I am thinking the generator is faulty. I appreciate you.
@markfutato7547 you are very welcome. Sorry you had a bad experience. Hopefully they replace it with no hassle for you. I have had mine for several years with no issues but I’m not sure if I got lucky or you were unlucky…
The girl doesnt seem understand art
What aluminum angle guide was that? Stewart who?
Stuart Batty. He has the angle gauges for sale on stuartbattytools.com
“I use this one quite a bit.” *Dusts item off violently*
That’s funny! You can tell it’s been awhile since I’ve cut dovetails lol
I have this system and I'm having the same issue. I bought the entire system with the bowl depth finder and the light. It's definitely in the way and crowded.I like the idea of mounting a metal plate to extend the bracket out. I'll be trying that. I'm limited on room behind my lathe also,so it seemed to be a good option, the bowl bottom thickness gauge,which is another attachment on the system also works as advertised. But it to is in the way and the key to it is you have to remember to set the gauge depth to your chuck before mounting the bowl on it. Which I always forget to do so I almost never use it. It also comes with a light. The light itself is great but it needs to be mounted on the tailstock end of the rail system, which makes it great for lighting up the inside of a bowl but not good if you need to see the the headstock side of it. I would purchase the dust collection attachment again but probably not the whole track system. You can buy each piece separately.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m sure the comment may help other viewers. I have his mag light that I attach to the headstock and it does a pretty good job of lighting up the headstock side or the tailstock side. You can quickly adjust and it is never in my way. I have seen people mount their vacuum hood on the ceiling. I’ve been using this modified plate for long enough now and am satisfied. It is never in my way now. Good luck with whatever modification you make on yours. Thanks for watching!
Thank you soooo much gentleman.
You are very welcome! Thanks for the comment and let me know if you have any questions.
Appreciate how you are encouraging folks to not get discouraged at the beginning and just get turning. It is such a wonderful craft and hobby! It can be overwhelming sometimes when you are first starting out, but everyone starts at the same place - skills increase with shavings and good mentoring. Glad to hear your positive experience with D-Way Tools, always happy to help if you have any questions.
Thanks for the encouraging comment! I have been a happy customer and am pleased to support businesses like D-way Tools that provide good quality and good customer service. I have been sending business your way through this channel lol. If you ever want me to review tools don’t hesitate to contact me. Woodworkingmcdanielstyle@gmail.com
Nice shoes
Haha thanks. $7 ;)
Awesome video brother
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback :)
Nj bresse farms. That’s me. If you ever need bresse eggs or chicks let me know, I’ll send you whatever you need for a video
@mikemacinnes6120 I’m definitely interested but we have too many chickens right now. Maybe next spring I’ll contact you. Looks like an interesting breed to try
The original owner of D-Way is Dave Schweitzer who contributed the D to the name. He sold to Jimmie Allen some years ago. Dave is a contemporary of both Ellsworth and Raffan. I agree that M42 and A11 steels make the best and most durable tools; science confirms that by researching the metals and not just the tools. A consideration your valuable video omits is customer service and the responsiveness of the owner. Jimmie often answers the phone when I call and when I leave a msg or send an email I hear back right away. In one of our conversations Jimmie told me I couldn’t go wrong buying from Doug Thompson which I found refreshing. I recently visited a retailer of C&S tools and the employee there, unprompted, bad-mouthed C&S staff which turned me off from both the retailer and C&S.
Thanks for the feedback. You are correct on the service at D-way. I love my Doug Thompson tools but I simply buy from d-way because of the better website.
Thanks for the video, I'm in the market for a post-hole digger and have been tossing around purchasing an economy version, possibly bumping up to the Titan Attachments version, or just with Land Pride.
You are welcome! I have no experience with those. I do have the titan forks that fit my tractor and for the price, they have been great. I’m sure it’s china steel but I’ve picked up as much as my tractor wants to handle with them. Thanks for the comment
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle I also have the Titan forks, but I bought their Made in USA version with 48" forks. I've had no issues at all with them or their cultivator.
@Red_Sky_Farm_2023 I got mine off Amazon and I’m not sure where they were made. I just assumed they were china bc the price was like $600. They are now $700. Mine are also the 48” with the skid steer connection. 4000 lb capacity in the specs.. I think I looked at the titan flail mowers a few years ago but I went with the Betsco aka Farmers Helper. I’ll be doing a review on that soon.
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle Just an FYI, we picked up the CountyLine post hole digger and auger today from Tractor Supply based on this video. They gave us a crazy discount on the digger due to the crate being damaged from being left outside. I got about 40% off between the Independence Day Military discount and the store discount.
That’s awesome! And thank you for your service!
We sell Edger Blades that may fit your equipment. We're happy to offer you the product completely free of charge in exchange for a video review. Let me know if you are interested.
Please email Woodworkingmcdanielstyle@gmail.com
Could you please tell me the dimensions of the wood, specifically the ratio of dark to light wood? Thanks
I’ve answered that question several times in the comments but I plan to do a follow up video trying to answer and explain the ratio and how to mount on the lathe. Short answer is the ratio can vary based on how far the light wood is from the lathe centers. This question has been asked enough that I do feel another video is warranted. Thanks for the question!
Just found your channel. How many chickens do you have in this? I have my first flock if 12 getting ready to go outside soon. Thanks for the video and upgrade suggestions! 😊
Sorry for some reason I didn’t get notified of this comment. We currently have about 33 chickens. They actually can all fit in the coop and do sometimes. I actually have two…Justin Rhodes’ original chickshaw mini and this modified design. The limitation is more so on how many nesting boxes are needed. I found out that we needed more than 2 boxes for the 20-25 birds we had laying at the time. So this design gives you one extra nesting box. Of course the chickens normally have a favorite box and wait for that one. but with 25 birds laying right now, I do get a few eggs from all five nesting boxes each day and 10 from the favorite one
I have one m42 tool, a Henry Taylor 5/8 gouge. It is definitely a long lasting edge. But as you said, any tool will cut, depends just how long. I have a square end scraper that's a vintage buck bros, and I think it's just carbon steel. I use it only to make mortises and I pull burr once to do the mortise and then another time to clean it up
Lately the price of M2 and M42 isn’t much different from my shopping experience so I end up buying the M42 tools. My parting tool and roughing gouge are M2 and for those uses it’s fine. But those tools are not asked to cut end grain…
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle That's a good point. I think if/when I'll need a newer tool I'll get more m42
You saved me a ton of money! Thanks for the honesty!!!!!!!!!
You are welcome! Let me know if I can help in any other way. I do have a sharpening playlist for wood turning tools and a fundamentals of wood turning playlist. You may find some nuggets of knowledge in those if the titles spark your interest. Thanks for the feedback!
Did you have to pay for the original ChickSaw "blue prints"
No. Justin Rhodes provides those to people for free. The mini has some errors in them but overall they are good plans for the price lol. I would watch a few videos like mine and pair that with the plans and you should be good to go with making your own flavor.
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle That was my understanding from his site, entered my email as requested but never received the email with the plans I was expecting. Oh well, thanks.
If you go to goodwill and get a kids bike for 10 bucks you can safe $190 on wheels 🤪
I would be curious how that works for people. I don’t like the idea of of potential flats haha
I mean, it's not like you're actually biking with it, just take the tires/tubes off the wheels and roll it around on the rims. Tires are for rim endurance and rider comfort, 🤷🏻♂️ just a thought.
That's my plan 😊
My wife and I like the chubby one but I couldn’t get the shape right how did you do it please? I’ve made several penguins but I’ve forgot what size wood to get the body and chest right could you give me th sizes of th wood please to use?😢
My dark wood was like 1.5-2 inches and the light wood was like 0.5 inches. You can use a different ratio but when you mount it between centers you want to make sure the light wood will disappear at your desired neck thickness. So if you are getting too much light wood simply move the centers further from the light wood and if you need more light wood move the centers closer to the light wood. It’s not an exact science but I would spend time when mounting between centers to visualize the neck diameter you want and where the light wood will be if it’s turned to that size. Hope that helps.
Still cannot see how you got both vertical and horizontal shape of the last and chubby penguin! Could you please do a video or give instructions?
@Bretonlad yes I’ll add that to my to do list. The penguin on the far left that has a pointy belly had the light wood mounted closer to the center or the light wood and dark wood meeting point was right at the neck thickness. The chubby penguin had the light wood much further from the center point and the light wood/dark wood meeting point was further out than the neck thickness. But when I make some new ones I will try to make some variations and explain it in detail. Thanks for the suggestion
what are your winters where you're located?
I’m in southern, Ohio in the United States. Normally the lows are in the 20F range and highs in the 30-40F range. We do get some days with sub zero F.
@@woodworkingmcdanielstylewhat do you do in the winter to make sure your chickens are warm In these?
We don’t do anything special. I think make sure they have a wind block. We have had some sub zero days and the breeds with big combs did get minor frost bite. But they leave the coops and walk outside. You could put a heat light in the coop maybe if you have harsher winters.
Awesome video. What brand are those angle drills in the background? Been looking for one for ages 😅
Thank you for the encouragement. I got them off Amazon for $38 in 2020. They are Neiko brand. Amazon says they are no longer available but they were titled “close quarter drill”. That word search may help. Wood turners wonders has another brand for $90 but probably made by the same company. Hope that helps
I have a question how would you keep the barrels from coming out
The weight of the lumber makes it impossible for them to go anywhere but up. Up in the direction of the decking boards I mean. You want to place the two floor joist boards to be closer together than the diameter of your barrels. That way they can’t get to your decking boards. Now your decking boards can help hold them down but that is probably not the best design. I didn’t take enough time bracing the two floor joists together sufficiently. So the barrels actually spread my boards apart slightly. I would take the time to put some all thread or other bracing to prevent those two boards from being able to spread apart. Do this before installing the barrels. Hope that helps.
I'd love to see a video on the making of a laminated paddle. Sounds like a fun project that I could do for my own canoe. What woods did you use? I'm wondering what will be a good balance between lightness and durability. Also, I've heard of folks dipping the tip of the blade in epoxy for a bit of extra protection from rocks and to really seal up the end grain. Cool video! Pretty paddle too!
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll plan on making a longer paddle and make a video on the process. I used from outside to center: maple, walnut, Australian Cyprus (leftover hardwood floor from my house), maple, walnut. I think the stronger the wood, the thinner you can make it. Yes dipping the end grain into something to really seal it up would be a great idea. Thanks for watching!
My guess is, urethane at the tip of the paddle had become scraped, chipped, and worn over the years allowing water direct access to the wood.
Either way I’m impressed it survived being submerged in water for that long. Glad I was able to save it! Maybe a reapplication of finish every decade would be helpful :)
Instead of spending that much for lower rpm's It looks like you could take a variac and power your regular grinder off of it. Then you take an rpm meter and figure out how much current you need to feed the grinder in order to get it to the speed you want the wheels to turn. You can buy a variac for less than $100 and they'll let you vary the current from 0-130v with a 20 amp output. I believe there's even an app for phones to show you the rpm's of most engines/motors.
Thanks for the feedback. This may be a good solution for others reading the comments.
Where do you buy the angle gauge?
The solid chunk of aluminum one, the digital one, or the other one?
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle the solid chunk of aluminum one
That is the angle gauge from Stewart Beatty and I’m not sure he makes them anymore. I found one on Cindy Drozda’s website. She still had some in stock. She knows Stewart well so she can probably find one if she is out of stock. It is pretty handy and high quality.
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle thank you for responding. I will try to find one.
@fredoropesa4939 looks like he may have them again. Check out stuartbattytools.com. Looks like it’s $34.50. And you are very welcome
Plus it's fun to say.
I agree lol
I've seen Raffan do that hollowing cut and I think it's similar to what you're doing, but instead of going from the center to the left, he drops the handle and goes from the center towards the top.... simple, right? That said, I've not had luck with it, so I might have interpreted his movement correctly.
No you are exactly correct. In this video I did the center to the top like he does but it didn’t go very well. I switched to what works for me which is center to outside. But I have hit the sweet spot before and used the back hollowing method he demonstrates. I’m not sure if my gouge needs a different angle grind or if I’m just using a bad technique. Maybe someday I’ll master it haha
Good Job
Thank you sir!
I went ahead and purchased this Generac edger after watching this video review. The edger started for the first time after 6 pulls and started on the first pull after that. I bought one that was on display and it was already assembled although incorrectly and with a few adjustments we had it working in no time. It runs fairly quietly and does a fantastic job. Please be advised this review was written right after the first use.
Thanks for the feedback and glad the review was helpful.
I just wanted to say thanks for the video. I am new to turning and prefer to buy decent tools to start. I was looking at other brands but this video made me take a look at D-Way Tools for the first time, and as you said I found their website quite helpful. They did not seem to be as expensive as some of the other higher end brands in my area, so I took the plunge and purchased 2 handles and 5 tools last week. They are beautifully machined and I am looking forward to trying out soon! In addition to the ease of sharpening that you mention, I also like the ease of storage of quickly taking the tool our of the handle. I will not be turning all the time, and have a relatively small shop, so to be able to disassemble and place them in a small drawer with custom tool holders is also a bonus.
Thanks so much for the comment. Let me know if you ever have questions as you learn this addicting hobby :)
Thanks for the video. Very well explained.
You are welcome. Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and the feedback :)
I really like your sharpening videos. I would like it if you could do one on how to take a spindle gouge and make a detail spindle gouge.
I’ll see what I can do. I have some old school swallow spindle gouges and I have a detail spindle gouge. I may not have a normal spindle gouge but I could do a video on the differences and how they would be sharpened. Stay tuned and thanks for the suggestion!
The best application for CBN/diamond wheels, are low-speed wet grinders... and I don't mean your typical "low speed" 1,000rpm bench grinder. I mean professional wet sharpeners that turn 100/200rpm (Tormek/etc.). These sharpening rigs are far better suited to chisels, plane blades, etc... where precision and tool life are paramount. When you're spinning 1,000+rpm and you just want to touch-up some turning tools, there's really no point.
Yeah I never sharpen my chisels and plane blades on these “slow speed” grinders. I sharpen those by hand with water stones.
@woodworkingmcdanielstyle - best way to go, for sure... but things happen, and sometimes you been to remove a lot of material, especially to bed or face your rough planes. A wet CBN/diamond wheel is great for that.
@driverjamescopeland that would be great. I have a granite table machined flat and I use that with wet sand paper to flatten planes. Luckily I rarely do this and I think (probably not) I finally have all the planes I need lol
You got the same kind of catch I often get. I think it happens when the edge touches the wood before the bevel does.
That would definitely cause it and you may be right. I just rewatched and it’s possible but can’t tell if I was rubbing the bevel yet. But great point! Thank you
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle The other thing that causes my catches in that situation is when I relax after making the cut while pulling the tool back. Edge touches the wood while I'm breathing a sigh of relief that the cut went well.
@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING I think that’s what happened to me. I was starting to feel confident and was immediately humbled.
Some good points on the skew. No suggestions on what to do videos on, just keep posting.
Thank you!
