Garden Table restoration
Переглядів 324Рік тому
My garden table needed a bit of TLC, so I took it to the workshop and completely changed its look. I stripped it down, made a new leg, cleaned it up, sanded it, varnished it, and brought it back to life again! what a difference some hard work makes! The only thing I bought for this project was some sanding discs and 8 stainless steel hinges. Follow me: INSTAGRAM : Andy_Elliott_1 FACEBOOK : face...

We decided to revamp the office area, and the first job was to get rid of the old corner unit that we had for the PC, and make a brand new desk for 2 people to sit at, side by side, and we spent less than €50 on the whole thing!!!

Mortice Gauge
Переглядів 1,1 тис.4 роки тому
I decided to see if i could make my own Mortice gauge from some mahogony strips and some brass. I cut the wood on the mitre saw, glued them into blocks, then cut to size on the table saw. i added some brass accents for decoration. I sanded to 800 grit to polish the brass, and then finished the whole thing in Danish oil. Follow me: INSTAGRAM : Andy_Elliott_1 FACEBOOK : westcorkwoodw...
How to make a Potting table
Переглядів 3,6 тис.4 роки тому
A Friend of mine wanted a Potting table for his new greenhouse. After looking at buying one, he asked if we could make one, so we did. We spent the same amount of money on the wood, as a we would have done with a store bought one, but the one we built was a lot more sturdy, and will lost a lot longer. we used 6" Pine boards and 2"x 1" for the legs. The left over parts were then cut into slats f...
Gate Leg Table

For this project, I tried Dowel Jopintery for the first time, using my Dowelmaster jig. Once I understood the principles, it was a nice easy build. Lots of drilling though. Also, in the video, the frame work magically changes from plain wood to Glossed white! i lost the footage of this process!! Hope you enjoy the video!

Control Module Replacement - Lathe

So, turns out my new lathe was faulty from day one. Over the pst few weeks, the motor speed was getting slower and slower. in the end, It wouldn't get passed 300 rpm and then quickly died to nothing. I got in touch with the suppliers and manufacturer, who agreed to send me a new unit, which arrived 2 days later and I installed it. Quick and easy to replace and the Lathe is now working as it sho...

Unboxing my new Charnwood B350 Bandsaw
Why didn’t you use wood glue? Liked the video
Very nice what about sizes
Hi Andy, could you give me the dimensions and instructions. Ive just started woodworking and yours is my favourite mail box, especially for the UK
Hi sue! Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it. Unfortunately we have moved house since I made this, and didn't take it with us. But roughly, it was about 16 inches high, 10 wide. Roughly!!
'Promo sm'
Thank you
You did a fine job, so now you'll have to make another to put underneath the other window. .😉
Stunning pen.
👍👍👍.Thanks Andy
Great to see you back on UA-cam
Thanks bud! Been a while!
👍👍👍. Thank you
What grit sandpaper did you use? My band saw table is a tad rusty.
Hi Jeff. I used 240 grit mate
👍
goodluck with the new shed pal, looks great. I cover my bandsaw table with a square of 1/4" mdf, the exact same size. have a slot cut in it to allow the blade to fit in. works well long term when its not in use. have the same for my planer thicknesser beds. worth a try IMO
That was great... Excellent workmanship... Now that you got your "Round Tuit" you should get a lot of stuff done that the rest of us only think about! :)
got one this week am very pleased with it BRILL
What lathe and size are you using?
Hi Chris! In this video, I was using the Charnwood W815 lathe. charnwood.net/product/mini-lathe-chuck-package-deal/
Thanks Andy, hoping I can get something similar here in California.
Nice job. I'm doing something similar myself. 6.2 degrees miter and bevel. Once I cut the board. I left my miter saw alone and brought the board straight over to the right to cut the other ends. You flipped yours and spun them? I'm lost
Very cool. Thank you for sharing
I have just purchased a deluxe pen press from Carbatec in Brisbane. I have not used it yet I have just opened the box. Previously I used my pedestal drill and a block of wood or my vise. Neither method was comfortable to use. I really can recommend you buy a pen press and also a pen blank drilling centre vise. Final comment there is no such thing as a cheap hobby, but you do get to learn new skills and have a lot of fun.
Fantastic video! It's funny how these have been intimidating me for months and finally I find your video and see that it is easier than a slim line!
😊
boring dot talk just do it
Hi Andy, I'm at a serious crossroads as regards a bandsaw. Can't bear my old Screwfix any longer. After 3 years, would you still recommend? Decent enough price in Mallow tools at the moment. Thanks. Shane. Ennis.
Yes mate, I would buy the exact same one if I had too without hesitation. Its a great saw, I've had zero issues with it.
SAFETY FIRST!!!!!! OSHA will be contacting you very soon!
thats ass
The pen was stunning, the box is also elegant in it's own right!
👍🇮🇩🇮🇩
I love the look of the wishing well, but for those of us who have never built anything, some instruction would have been helpful even if it's only in text form.
Lovely job 👍 Bless your little nipper, so cute Love the end, if you know you know Probably 😂
Anxiety kicking in with those sleeves!
What was the picture in the back ground, looked satanic?
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
That's a weak one.
bad design!
No its not. Seems like a nice enough guy, but the aesthetics of the object seems to have taken precedence over its functionality. Id rather a slightly uglier unit that crushed a can flat, no?? I tend to build with the purpose as main focus, then work on the aesthetics. Maybe that's just me though, who knows?
Muito bom trabalho meu amigo parabéns
Thanks for a great intro to melamine, just bought some. Thanks for a in-depth video.
How can I get one like this and how much does it cost please??
They are not for sale, my friend. The idea of the video is so you can build one yourself based on your own equipment and needs. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
Hi, I'm looking to buy this bandsaw. The information on that web says the blade length is 2560 mm. I'm looking to invest in better blades but most I see are not exactly the same length as the stock blade. Would it be okay if I got some blades 5 mm longer or would that be a problem?
Hiya, thanks for watching and I hope the info was useful. I think you might be in trouble if you get blades of a different length. The tensioner on the back won't take that much slack out of the blade.
@@andy.elliott.foreverpens Thanks for your response, Andy. Do you have any recommendations pertaining to good blades and where to buy? Is it easy to find 2560mm readily available? What works for you? I hear bandsaw performance relies greatly on blade quality. I'm a soon to be woodworker. Just gathering my tools at the moment.
@ajiwukari to nlbe honest I've stuck with Charnwood blades so far. I have 3 different sizes for general use, rip sawing, and a 3/8th one for tight curves. I've had mo issues that I can say so far anyway! Good luck on your woodworking journey, this bandsaw is definitely worth it.
Hi this is lovely id love my hubby to make me one do you have a link for the measurements etc? Kind regards
That’s a lot of work for a can crusher😅
That was pretty clever.
It's nice one I like it, how can I get it?
super
No Sound
How does this hold up over time? I’m new to this hobby and have fallen between camps on the CA versus anything else finishes. All of the CA folks say theirs is the longest lasting….thanks for the videos!
First of, welcome to the club! Hope you really enjoy the hobby! Secondly, the finish will fade over a period of time with everyday use. A CA finish is much harder wearing. The advantage of Melamine finish over CA is speed. I also found that removing of the bushes for the blank afterwards can cause the CA finish to split. All that work down the drain!! Very frustrating!
Looks good. Did you seal the wood first, this would help?
Good job but would of been real nice to have been explained on how to do to make it you stated off good by say the 22.5 but that’s all we know everything else was just left out
No normal person has those tools at home.
Make no mistake, I've worked my Ass off to pay for the tools I use in these videos, so I'm not going to apologise for having them. The title of the video is not "build a post box with an old hammer and an odd sock" these vids are posted to show how I made it. That's all. Don't like the video, fine, move o with your life. Like the video? Cool, I'm glad you did. Move on with your day.
@@andy.elliott.foreverpens spot on Andy. Lovely job
Prob the worst edit vid I've watched. Wtf is goin on?? Who knows what ya doin just chopping wood up. Best part was night daddy.. vid was worth that alone
Good job mate Cheers
