So We Bought a House . . .
United States
Приєднався 7 січ 2019
DIY, Renovation and all kinds of maker projects.
Background:
In 2018, my wife and I bought a house and had our first baby. We moved into the home and had the baby a week later. Even though the house looked move-in ready we quickly discovered lots of problems while trying to renovate the baby's room. Being long term renter's meant we had little repair experience and with a new baby and a new mortgage, we needed to learn to fix things ourselves. After a few cycles of fixing something only to find something else broken, I decided to begin documenting some of it for fun and to look back on how we progressed.

You look a bit lazy with all that insulation stuffed in that room. 😊
Awesome video thank you
Thanks for sharing this, been wanting something like this for my miter saw a longer fence cuts, again thanks for your advice on this project.😊 ,and also I agree with others about not being wearing a long loose sleeved shirt, watching you give me some chills how close you get to the saw blade, so be more careful my friend.
Hi David, sorry for scaring you and I'm happy I was able to help. I used to wear button downs mainly for the sake of filming when it was cold out in the garage. I'm actually really far from the balde as this is a 12 inch saw, but it doesn't look that way on the video and don't want to set a bad example. Since then I have tried to make sure I only wear short sleeves when actually cutting. Safety is super important and I want to make sure that comes through so I will be more conscious. Thanks for your comment.
Awesome I’m doing my happy dance… Looked at other sites and they had me buying things attaching devices I don,t own. You’re great.
Happy I could help Jen. I made a second miter saw video which is a little tongue in cheek on how I upgraded this based on user feedback. There are some practical upgrades in it though that might give you some ideas on how you can make this your own without spending a ton of money.
Any suggestions on separating glued wood that's been bonded together for 15 years? I want to use a bed frame that has rails for slates and I have a stand alone metal mattress platform to use instead. Hope that is understandable.
Send me a photo at swbah.ken@gmail.com. First though would be to just cut them out with a flush trim saw.
I’m getting ready to try this at home and I’m super psyched! I measured my old ones that look identical to yours and they measure 3 inches. Can I get away with a 3 inch top plate? Feels like 4 would take up a lot of floor space
Everyone is a little different, but you need to make sure the top plate covers the front panel which is 3/4" and still leaves room to not touch the radiator fins. If that doesn't make sense let me know and I can talk you through measuring to make sure you have enough room.
I found a (cheaper) and faster way to make this work. I used the same top width you recommended and instead, used 5inch sheets of shiplap as the face since it’s only .67 inches deep. They’re not nearly as pretty as yours, but it actually came out nice. I mean, anything is better than the metal ones we had before. Thanks for all your help.
@@PadillaKids Sounds great. I made this video to show a basic technique and always hoped people would use it as a jumping off point to make their own designs. So happy you tried it and I'm sure it looks awesome!
nice just picked up this same combo saw and stand for 315 bucks from lowes on sale. Thanks for the review, love this thing
Glad I could help. For the size and weight I don't think you can beat it. There are some slightly larger models but in my opinion are great as portable saws. Eventually I will upgrade to a cabinet saw, but I would never get rid of this for the portability.
Thanks so much for making this video, its very useful and informative.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video, I suggest removing the battery when changing the sandpaper to avoid accidentally flipping that switch while your hands are on it.
Not a bad idea. I work with corded ones all day and never unplug them,. Probably just my bad habit.
Bought this jointer over a year ago. Actually got around to using it today. Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you
Great to hear!
The fence is definitely the weak link in the Kreg system. Still a great system, but the scales should be built in and the fence shouldn’t be damaged at all…..at these prices.
I don't disagree, but they made it right in the end. It is a premium product from them.
Fantastic idea 💡
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks. I think the torque on the banjo might be 22nm
Thanks - hard to find the spec. 20 seems reasonable though. I actually tightened it not enough and got a tony leak. Then I tightened a little more 1/8 turn and the leak stopped. Still no leak years later.
This was helpful
Thanks - let me know if you have any questions.
I just bought one and I think it's a quality machine but it has its limitations. We have a magnolia tree and the leaves are big and tough. I can't say using this with those leaves is much easier than scooping by hand and tossing into a garbage can. With normal leaves I think it would be much better.
Interesting, I have a magnolia and it doesn't have an issue once the leaves dry out. Maybe different species?
Yes, I stopped at 35 secs.
You must be very advanced. When people call you special they really mean it.
Thank you for the information was very helpful, great video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Your miter saw appears to have a hold down. One could use this hold down to hold down a bit of wood at the desired distance from the blade thus acting as a stop. Additionally the saw stand you have has flip up stops on the sliding stock supports so you in fact have one of those fancy miter saws with stops. Good solution otherwise for people who may not have the features that you do.
Hi David - you are correct. I do have those options and made this video for people who might not have those option. However the playing the stop of the stand does cause some imprecision. Don’t get me wrong you could frame a house with this system, but it you were building a piece of furniture, the little bit of flex is enough to cause wobbly legs and joints with gaps. This simple setup makes everything almost perfect even for those high precision application where the part length needs to perfect across multiple members. It is also much more portable than building a dedicated stand. If you want to see a fun build I did an updated portable stand where budget was not issue and tried to incorporate every upgrade on this thread for fun. Let’s just say it is t for the budget faint of heart :). Thanks for watching and for the comment. Happy building!
Good review, I’m on the fence about a jointer. I don’t really have have much space which is why I started researching this model. In the meantime I’ve been getting by with a planer, table saw and jigs. Thank you for the review
You are welcome. I think the choice comes down to what kind of work you want to do. If you do small pieces a lot this will likely work for you. For the occasional big project you can you a sled and your planer to joint most boards. It is slower, but not a big deal. Ultimately, if I was doing a lot of bigger pieces like full sized furniture, built ins, etc. I would have gone with something bigger. This is a good benchtop jointer though with a nice capacity. It is a benchtop jointer though and is limited in what it can do. Make sure you expectations are in line with what it should be capable of doing and I think it makes the choice easier. It is very compact and light making it easy to move. In my shop (a one car garage) I have it bolted to a work surface to keep it steady as a push through things that are way too big, so I might be missing out on the space savings. I did build the super dooper shop scooter to sit under it and fit both my compressor and spindle sander. If you are looking to save space check out that scooter video. Happy building!
alot of crap, glad i didnt pull the trigger on the $78 box
I might do another unboxing to see the newer boxes. Let me know if it is something of interest. Right now my opinion is they an ok gift for a new woodworker or maker that has nothing yet and you have no idea what to get them. buy for the 50 bucks I put together a gift guide of alternatives that would be better.
Glad I watched your review. Was thinking about ordering a more expensive mystery box and I think I’m going to pass. You say you got your moneys worth but I don’t think so. Especially since Taylor Tools offers sales sometime. I’d rather just buy what in red rather than double up on tools I own
Totally understand. I see this as either a fun to open kind of thing or a good gift for someone just getting in to the hobby. It did make a fun stocking stuffer.
Easy repeatable cuts? Built my own mitre saw bench 40 years ago. C clamp and a block of wood, done for the next 40 years. Still have it in the shed, pull it out by hand set it on the saw horses and ready to go in five minutes for two cuts of an hundred.
Same theory, When I made this video the tip was more for working on location being able to pop something together with scrap. Simple works as you know :)
That Looks like Radiata Pine which is different than a standard #2 pine... either way pine will still move and contort with moisture and humidity since it's not a hard wood. This way may be effective in a one off situation but not reliable in a long term application. If that's your goal attach a base plate to it , to keep the wings straight!!
It is select Pine from Home Depot whatever that means. It has worked fine for three years, no twisting. It is secured to the fence which helps.
Thank you! Very helpful and enjoyable! 😊
Thank you!
Hmmmm..... I've measured very carefully, cut to the line three times and the board is still to short.
I swear, the same gremlins that take my sucks also make the variable length tapes I have. It can't be me, my fuzzy vision is a sharp as ever :)
I bought the same nailer to do 700 sqft of 3/4 red oak hardwood. I used 2 in flooring cleats. It says to test the nailer at 80 lbs. I tried it at 80 lbs psi and that was a good setting...not too weak and not too strong. The manufacturer includes a tiny amount of pneumatic oil that leaks from the little bottle. My nailer won't fire after doing about 300 sqft. I think maybe it needed more oil. I will try more oil and see what happens. Definitely better than renting this tool. Hardwood flooring for DIY'ers takes a lot longer than you think. Update....had to remove bottom bolts and take the plate off. Found small pieces of nail causing jam. I removed the pieces and put back together. There is a small tool that is T shape mounted on the bottom for clearing jams. Works again!
The cutting is what slowed me down, but all in all I think it is a doable project. I have a video of me doing my floors if you search the channel. The finishing was the harder part. I laid down close to 2000 sqf of oak with no issues and no misfires.
In my world squareness is a myth.
Remember it I hip to be square :)
I knew what your solution would be because by accident I had a lightbulb moment years ago. I'm glad you shared on this video. I'm selfish and too lazy to have a YT channel. PVA is a plastic so like most plastics they soften. I use hot glue as well for an extra hand. I'm enjoying your channel. New subscriber.
Thanks William! Glad you are enjoying the channel and if you ever have and ideas you want to share, let me know I ll make the video for you and share the glory :). Have a great long weekend!
This is truly a huge scandal. I hope people don't just watch this and think it's a joke - you will have a number of problems connecting your "DeWalt" vacuum to your "DeWalt" tools. I have actually called DeWalt and even they are unable to explain how this works. Another complication is that most of the "DeWalt" shopvacs out there are not made by DeWalt. Anything with a DXV serial number prefix is made by someone else but DeWalt licenses with them and allows them to brand it as a DeWalt tool. All of the DXV vacs do not work with the dust port on the tools. DeWalt support actually gave me the phone number of the manufacturer of my "DeWalt" vacuum and told me to call them to figure out how to get the vacuum to connect to the tool. DeWalt does make 2 shop vacs, and although the hose they make works with the tools, the port on the vacuum is yet another proprietary connection. So if you want to get a better hose you are going to have major problems there as well. All of this confusion seems by design - it's like the entrance to a freeway leads to a dead end and then everyone has to find a way off and get to their destination by exploring logging roads.
How well has this jointer held up long term?
I still use it every few days and the only thing I've had to do is check for flatness, that the fence is square and rotate a few cutter blades that got nicked. I really can't complain for a table top jointer. I put some heavy pieces of wood through it which honestly a table top jointer is not made for. Because of that I probably knock it out of whack more than most people would. Even with that I say I recalibrate every 4-6 months and just need to check the square on the fence which is very easy to adjust if you knock it out. I've had no issues with the motor or any mechanical issues. The cutters are good. I only needed to rotate a few after running some reclaimed lumber that likely had some pin nails and rocks that did it. St this point I'd say I've run 3-4K board feet mostly 4/4 and 8/4. That said if you can afford it and have the space for it a full sized parallelogram jointer is the way to go. If you need the space, are a hobbyist and don't mind having to tweak it every once in awhile this is a good option in my opinion.
I'm really on the fence to buy it. As a "long term" review, does the fence stay square or do you have to calibrate it often? That's the only thing that makes me hesitate.
Hi Francis, I check the fence for square everytime I start using it. Sometimes it is out, but to be honest it only take a few seconds to square back up. I push this unit to its limit regularly with 4/4, 8/4 and even 12 in length from two to 8 feet. If I was using smaller lighter weight material I doubt it would get knocked out as much and even with that is is minimal. Personally I have no issues, but based on what I make which is larger pieces, I will likely upgrade at some point to deal more easily with the heavier, longer pieces. If you are doing cutting boards, frames and generally pieces of wood less than 4 feet, I think you will have no issues with this unit.
Does it still work?
Still Working though I mostly use it after I do pruning, I probably run it 50-100 hours a year. I did replace the blades once. If the blades dull the motor can bog down and that might limit the life of the motor. I definitely got my money out of it for what I need it for.
Did you have to ever open the pump and put seals inside it too?
The video shows all the seals that I replaced inside the pump. There are ones on the reservoir as well as in the metal casing. All are fairly simple to install.
Thank it solves more than one problem for me .....from Staffordshire, England
Awesome. One of the simplest, cheapest hacks for GSD :)
We followed your idea and our baseboards came out super nice! Thank you so much for sharing this video and helping us out.
Awesome - so glad it helped! Thanks for watching and you check out the video on craftsman casing and wall paneling. They are meant to accent the radiators and are pretty easy as well.
Have you guys noticed any loss of heat put out or absorbed in the wood? Is your heat running more often to keep the space warm?
@@jasonp3896 I have not noticed any difference and my oil consumption hasn't changed. As long as you have enough airflow for the the convection to happen I think impact is minimal.
Unboxing? I also got a mystery box and don’t believe my items came in a stalking or wrapped in paper? So if they didn’t, I guess that means you opened the box before your big reveal? Also, you start by complaining about the cost but then mention several times over, that you didn’t get a square head for your combo blade!! The entire lot was 39.99! SMH! Here’s a thought, by a combo square with whatever graduation blade you want and then interchange the blades when you feel like it. Sounds like a two for one to me. I liked my mystery box so much I bought all 7! No complaints at all. You sir, are the one exposed!!
Good morning Karen. I hope you are having a great day and I'm super happy you love your mystery boxes. Taylor Toolworks is a good company and I have no issues with them. In fact I buy from them regularly do to their good products and great customer service. You are are correct my items did not come in a stalking. They came in a stocking straight from Santa. When I contacted his elves they explained the original packaging was a US postal box with the items inside and paper to protect it. I apologize that the title of the video was misleading to you. The "Exposed" part was a fun way of saying that I was about to to give a spoiler and show everyone what came in a mystery box, thus "exposing" its contents. If you watched the whole video, I had no issues with the overall value of what was in the box. I did provide some critiques like on the blade that would have made the value better. Part of reviewing something is providing constructive criticism and providing pros and cons to viewers. You don't need to agree with me - It is not mandatory. I don't think the big boys and girls over at Taytools are crying over anything I said. My final conclusion was that you got what you paid for and wouldn't be upset spending the money, but this is a better product for someone who is starting out than someone who is experienced. The reason behind this is experienced makers probably already higher quality versions of items that what were in the box. Going back to the square blade as an example, many people spend more on their square than the cost of all those boxes put together. For the experienced maker, I did a gift guide of items that cost the same amount and would have made better gift in my opinion.
Since we're living in a glass house and throwing stones about - I had to read your use of the word "stalking" twice to understand what the heck you were talking about. I now realise that I think you mean "stocking", not "stalking". Oh, and "buy" (as in to purchase something) is "buy", not "by". You're welcome.
Thanks Karen, I like to leave those little Easter eggs. Trolls shouldn't have to starve in this day and age. Have a great weekend!
Very good & thorough review & set-up. I really appreciate it! Only comment is that I initially set up the outfield table as you directed (off the cutter head & not the blades). But that gave me bad snipe at the end of the cut. I adjusted the outfeed table to the cutters themselves & that was much better.
The instructions say to do it that way. I think to prevent the wood from not clearing the outfeed and kicking back or grinding. I agree through, that setting it closer to the blades reduces snipe.
@3:33 ayooooo
lol
Helpful. Thank you.
you are welcome!
So simple, so good, so thank u. Greetings from Costa Rica 😊
You're so welcome!
So simple. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Nope.
Thanks for watching :)
Im honestly so confused, I'm about to send this jointer back lol
What's going on with it?
I've watched this 3 times and it's excellent info. I'm just afraid that once I start tinkering with the screws and trying to do what you do, I'm gonna mess it up and it'll never be properly flat. I never realized it takes THIS much to get it dialed in. I'll just have to watch this some more. I'll get it eventually, just frustrates me because I'm new to this machine and these types of things
@@WoodlandRevivals If it makes you feel better it was near perfect out of the factory. You wouldn't need to do that process unless something happened in shipping. I just went through it to show it. However, eventually it will start to go out with use and you will need to tweak it.
I wanna compost for my small garden, but Im afraid I ll end up with way to many flys that will get me in trouble with HOA. My backyard is small and we reach 47C during the hot summer.
I've had no issues with flies otr other bugs that I would consider problematic. Of course when you spin the barrels expect to disturb a few friends :), but as long as you don't put meat in the compost you should be ok. My suggestion is start small and see what happens, but I have the composter right by my back door and it does not give me any concerns. Hope that helps.
@@SoWeBoughtaHouse it helps, thank you! Good to know meat is a no-no. So i can focus only on fruits and veggies.
@@anonimochenta4439 Meat is a no no unless you have a huge property where you can keep it way away from the house. Fruits might get you some fruit flies but they stay really localized to the the composter. Veggies I've had no issue. And make sure you keep a good mix with some brown material like grass clipping, leaves, etc.
@@SoWeBoughtaHouse thank you!
@@anonimochenta4439 you are welcome. If you get the ecomposter the directions will give you some good ideas and ratio as to what to put in.
I cannot believe a youtube channel in 2023 still had a 40 second intro. Especially for a "60 second build".
Sorry to disappoint you. But I'm not a professional UA-camr, I made this video for fun and with 670K ish views I think some people found the info useful and that makes me happy. UA-cam outside the mega stars is just a social media community of people sharing with others, which is what makes it special at its core. It not a bunch of people spending hundreds of hours to feed you the specific information you want in the shortest amount of time. And remember most people don't make any money off the videos they make, actually they lose money once their time is taken into account. If you want professional videos they are out there, keep searching, but if you think a long intro is problem, what do do think of the 3 minute sponsored ads those channels need to run. The only reason I even mention this to you is that when you try to make yourself feel better by being an internet troll, you discourage other creators from trying to share what they are doing for fear that they might not make a great video that everyone will love and deny the community opportunity of learning something that otherwise would be lost. I've learned lots of great things from videos that don't meet ideal UA-cam criteria. Good news for you though, I have shortened my intros and will be releasing a video shortly on to repair leaking bridges, you should check that out.
May have been a good video, but didnt get past the intro. Might suit some…. Well 670,000 people i guess….. just not me…. :-(
No problem if the video is not for you. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Didn’t get through the intro, but took the time to comment. Which took longer than the intro…
Did you do this for every interior door in your home?
Hi Six. I did this on the 5 basement doors. The upper floors have a different style to them and had some nicer molding already in place.
Wow. Great video!
Thanks so much, If you have any question let me know. I also did a video on radio covers and wall paneling to match this trim. Good luck on your project. I'm sure you will rock it!
Hopefully you still read messages on here. I bought this and it vacuums up leaves great but if there's leaves on a garden or somewhere with dirt that I'm sucking up, dirt/dust blows everywhere and everything gets dirty. Did you have any experience with this?
Are you using the garbage can attachment? I find that acts like a filter and keeps it down, but I'm in the northeast and it isn't that dry where dust kicks up easy.
@@SoWeBoughtaHouse no I'm just using the regular bag it comes with and as it was picking up leaves I turn around and realize there's like this very fine dirt/dust everywhere and it got annoying
A little bit with the bag when the leaves were real dry. Having the garbage can adapter moves it out of you face and the leaves collect in the bottom so more pace to keep the dust down. I live near the water though and humidity is higher than most places so dust in general is less of an issue. I have more of an issue with clogs from wet leaves.
@@SoWeBoughtaHouse I think it's mainly when it sucks up dirt I thought it would just go into the bag but it gets dispersed like everywhere but the bag
@@BrayZap I haven't really had that problem but I don't use the bag that much. All the air is directed down into it so it sounds like you have some really fine dust and dirt where you are. The bag is kind of small so there is a lot of pressure on it to force the dust through. Unless it is coming out a seam or near the zipper, I'm not sure there is much you can do. You can try misting the area with water first to see if that helps keep the dust down.
Left out a crucial step; double checking your cuts (or clamp) every so often to ensure nothing has moved when doing more than a handful of pieces. In my experience, the longer and/or heavier the material is as well as how quickly you're trying to work greatly increase the likelihood of movement. Also (obviously) cheap clamps
Good point. I mostly use this setup for things like table legs, apron pieces, etc. so it is 4 quick cuts, check them and done. Always good to check. Did you see the video of the updated uber version?
