S4E03 Using what I had, I "Stitched" together the pieces to make a workbench top with dog holes and quick release end vice. It's supported by an apron and back panel made of OSB sheets salvaged from our first workshop. This assembly rests on a chest of drawers I already had from years ago. Note the use of a routing jig purchased from 3X3Custom.com I greatly appreciate the influence of these two...
3 Parts Wood Finish
Переглядів 12 тис.6 місяців тому
S4E02 I've read about it, but this is the first time I've tried it. I mixed equal parts of MINWAX Satin Spar Urethane, Boiled Linseed Oil, & Oderless Mineral Spirits to get a universal "Shop" wood finish. Stir well, wipe on, let alone for 10-15 minutes, then wipe off the excess. I waited 24 hours between coats and applied three coats to the "backside", "underside", or bottom (I used all of thes...

Four Things I Don't Like...SKYTOU Pottery Wheel Review
Beautiful cutting board and unique plate slide. Great job!
Fantastic!!!
So you NEVER actually said what the mix is what you said and what you have printed out on the screen are completely different
Outstanding video presentation. The finished you made is exactly what I need for my project. 500 Grit?
Thanks for the compliment! I went from 80 to 100 and finished with 220 grit. How did your project turn out?
What wood is this? American walnut?
Well, I know it’s walnut and it’s pretty. I bought it damaged at a yard sale. I wonder if anyone else might know?
Thank you so much for sharing this video with so many people. I love the trays. They are absolutely beautiful better than the originals that dad made. Thanks Earl you did a great job !
I'm happy to have met the challenge with my take on a family heirloom. Love ya sis-
Looks exactly like the original. Great stands for plants or other objects!
You're right, the could be made as "Bigger" little trays, for most any purpose!
Nice, simple design. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the encouragement!
What's the difference between raw linseed oil and boiled linseed oil?
Mostly the drying time. Boiled linseed oil drys about two thirds quicker. Once dry (cured) they both provide the same wood protection.
Thank you 🙂👍
Would def like to try w a substitute for the mineral spirits.
I read about a Klean Strip option on their website. Let us know what you end up using and how it turns out!
I went to the Kleanstrip website and checked out their “green” mineral spirits. The VOCs are much better, but it’s still a petroleum product. I would really like to find a plant-based product.
Turpentine
I went to Kleanstrip website and looked at the msds for their “green” product. Fewer VOCs but still petroleum product. Would prefer to avoid that.
It may be politically incorrect today, but this finish has for decades, been called, witch's brew. Be aware though that boiled linseed oil does not dry very fast & will keep the finish sweating on the top. it needs to be wiped down a few times.
Thanks for the tip!
Can I apply this finish to stained wood or must it be completely raw? I’m making a cabinet to hold kids’ backpacks. Is this a durable enough finish?
Yes and yes. Three coats should give enough protection for your project. Don’t use it over a product that is stain and varnish all-in-one. That’s actually a film finish preventing oil blend from penetrating into the wood.
Any recs on a replacement for the mineral spirits? They are banned in california.
Check the Klean Strip website regarding "Paint Thinner South Coast" as a possibility. Good luck!
terpentine
Move!
Can you please do a video fixing the power cord?🙏🏽🙏🏽 there’s NOTHING on how to replace it
what does the linseed oil do in a mix of Urethane and mineral spirits ?
Boiled linseed oil penetrates deeply into the wood fibers. Aside from adding vibrance to appearance, it does help with repelling water, and some protection against scratches.
@@EarlyRiserWorkshop As I have already put down 4 coats of urethane I'm guessing its not a good idea to use the linseed oil ? Thanks again for the idea
You’re correct. The shop blend is meant to be applied to raw wood, and then later over time, to refresh the surface. Previously applied film” finishes would prevent penetration, unless stripped and sanded first.
What kind of wood is that? I didn't catch it if you mentioned it
It's solid walnut. A previous woodworker had machined it for a table. He stored it, on end, in a barn and it became warped and checked from wicking water. I bought it and rescued it for my workbench.
How are you liking the Grizzly G0869? I've been thinking about picking one up but haven't pulled the trigger yet been looking at others similar like the dewalt, skil, etc. Are there any major flaws or quirks that have come out since you got it?
I can recommend it as a great saw. Blade drift was an issue, but Grizzly sold the pieces i needed to upgrade. New saws are already equiped with blade locking. Features I really like: 1) Speed control, I can dial down the RPMs and install a 10" sanding disk or cut non-ferris metals and plastics. 2) Pull-out outfeed rest. 3) Saw can handle and Arbor accepts small dado stack. With a crosscut sled, and carbide blade, I've been able to cut hardwood pieces accurate enough for fine furniture. It has all of the other advantages you will find with Dewalt and others in this class. Let me know if you get one and share your experiences.
@@EarlyRiserWorkshop Thank you for taking the time to respond I really appreciate it! I do really like the idea of being able to control the speed for cutting plastics and aluminum. I make pen blanks so it would really help to not get burning or melting when cutting the resins.
Great video, editing, precision, and useful information. Talented assistant as well! 🎉
Very nice compliment, thank you. Your continued support is treasured.
If the belt brakes do you know we’re to replace?
This hasn't been an issue for me. I would suggest looking for a "linked" type belt that you can adjust for just the right tension. As a bonus, these belts also reduce vibration and noise. Please share your solution if your belt needed replacing. Thanks for asking the question, it may help others.
Very cool info. Any tips on getting cedar sapwood to absorb stain for exterior? The white sapwood on my cedar boards looks like absolute trash compared to the rest of the cedar. So much so that I really have to be incredibly picky and that's very difficult and time-consuming to do. Anyone have any thoughts?
Any penetrating finish will have trouble with the dense fibers in sapwood. The only method that I know of that helps, is to apply a first coat of conditioner, which helps to seal the soft wood somewhat, so the stain will not be as dark.
@@EarlyRiserWorkshop conditioner doesn't seem to do anything. But I appreciate the reply!
🎉 WEll done mate! Especially when ya had the reveal in the beginning with the dog holds!
Very nice work bench! I like the idea of using an existing cabinet.
Thanks for the compliment! It really worked out for us.
I really like how it turned out and I had such a great time working on it together with you! Can't wait for all the future projects that Frankenbench will help us through 😊 Love you!
You're the best partner in this venture! Love you too
Looks great! I'd like to make this for my son. Where did you get the numbers and what font?
Please share a photo once it's done, I'd love to see it! My wife had the numbers set aside for some time, and we don't have the info. A quick look at Amazon, shows a variety that look the same from Stainless to plastic, different sizes. Have fun on your project!
So I’m guessing it doesn’t really matter how much you actually put in/add (of each) as long as they’re all the same amount??
Sorry for the late reply. This was my first time with this blend. I think you're correct, that it really doesn't matter as long as each coat "wets" the surface. I found that multiple coats do build up the finish.
What sort of durable finish do you get? Wearproof? Waterproof? weatherproof?
Thanks for posting this. I used the same formula for a long time until I received a tip from a professional finisher: 3 parts varnish, one part BLO and one part mineral spirits. This allows building-up a thicker coats of varnish.
That's easy, thanks! Just bump up the varnish content to your liking.
I think you’ll enjoy the simplicity and value as much as I do. Best of luck!
going to try this approach, thanks
My saw came with the, supposedly, locking knob but the blade height still cannot be positively locked as the video shows.
Nice little build. The new numbers greatly enhance the overall look.
This came out amazing! I love the look!
I suffer from MS and I am looking for an exercise I can do despite being physically weak and unable to stand or walk on a treadmill, this sounds like something that might work
This may be a good fit since your arms and legs share the effort and ther's no impact. It's also very easy to reduce or increase the resistance during your workout. The trickiest part may be mounting and dismounting. Also, I have the seat slid to the closest setting forward, and it just meets my comfort level with feet on pedals. I'm 5'5" with a 29" inseam (for reference). May be worth a call to HCI if your considering a purchase. If you go forward, mention "EarlyRiser50" for a discount. So unfortunate you're battling MS, stay strong, all my best-
@@EarlyRiserWorkshop thank you for the feedback, I have looked at the models HCI currantly has avalable, and if not for the high price tag I would order one immedeatly. living on Social Security now I may have to wait but I like the idea.
The pieces brought back to life look great all matching in the yard!!
Thanks for the love, support and guidance. Couldn't do it without you!
wow, you are a natural talent! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you! 😊 I'm glad you watch and comment
I have to his wheel and it has only 2 speeds: fast and very fast, slowest speed to fast for centering or trimming
You may want to put your hair back or that router may unintentionally change your hairline
Good luck in the upcoming new shop!
Awesome video! Curious why didn't you do the holes 10" in center to accept a standard 12" bat? Or is this the 9-3/4" head?
You're right, it's because the wheel has a 10" head that actually measures 9 7/8"
😂and useful!
Happy it made you chuckle. Thx for the note
Just ordered this saw, so I ordered these parts as well. Saw comes with these already installed now. So I guess I have a spare set!
Wouldn’t touch one with a barge poll. I’ve seen a number of unbiased tests on this model, two that delved into the electrics said it was unsafe
Great
I have that same mobile base on my G1021X2 Planer. Very nice base for a 500lb machine. I’m not having the problem with my foot lever disengaging. Have a lot of confidence in this base. Going to get one for my drill press which is a floor model but will have a cabinet built around the base. I have the G0555 that I bought just over 20 years ago. It cuts just as good today as it did when new. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! A very awesome box.
I have this wheel and when i turn it on and push on the pedal it doesn’t spin at all. just got it too 😫
I was able to fix mine after turning it over and seeing the problem. You may have to send yours back for exchange or refund
Do you have the Grizzly part numbers for the knob and sleeve you used?
Yes indeed. Here they are: Purchased from www.grizzly.com/ 1 each, P0869191V2 Knob Spacer 1 each, P0869147V2 Lock Knob
Whoever did the filming walked as far as you. Good job.
Great tip… ever had to adjust the trunnions to square to your miter slot?
