Experiment #2 creating a katana hamon in a wood sword. Will it fail?
I’ve been wanting to make a wooden katana for a long time now. I want to make a really nice one for myself, but I also know that there are a lot of subtle details both about the Japanese katana, and fine woodworking that I need to iron out first before I can get to the point of making it. So for now, I’m experimenting with my bandsaw to see if I can get the low key look of a hamon. And then next I can work on any problems I find with doing it this way vs another way I have in mind, since this will be one of the first steps to complete when I get around to making my katana my way.

Yakisugi (shou sugi ban) SATISFYING RESULTS!! ASMR
Переглядів 497Рік тому
My first attempt at yakisugi (aka shou sugi ban): the Japanese art of charring the wood surface to increase rot and water resistance, in a natural way. Typically this is done with cedar, but this wood is for my boss to make a frame for a stained glass piece, and liked the aesthetics of yakisugi. I don’t have any cedar on hand, and for the size and weight of the glass, I chose to go with oak. It...

SU8: How to finish a shop ceiling on a budget
Переглядів 231Рік тому
I have been in my shop for almost 10 years, and I have always wanted to take care of my ceiling. My shop gets hot during the summers and freezing during the winter, the exposed wiring looks horrible, and the lighting is terrible. So in this video I’m finally addressing all three issues I think it turned out amazing, but... I’m interested to see what you think, or what you might have done differ...

Replacing a side piece on the plinth base of my niece’s hope chest. It looked to me as though it was made out of particle board, sandwiched between veneers. As I don't particularly like to work with that material, I fixed it using some scrap Oak I had lying around instead. It’s a different kind of project for me, but I enjoyed doing it! I hope you did too!

Choosing the right angles to film in my shop is somewhat limited because of how small it is.

Переглядів 433Рік тому
I know there are tons of other videos out there about how to store clamps. I haven’t watched any of them simply for the fact that I only have 4, and from what I have seen of storage solutions, they require copious amounts of wall storage. I have a small shop and I make (usually) small items. Thus not really needing any more lather clamps than what I already have. So instead of trying to store t...

My suggestion would be to make one for my truck 🫣😂
😂 ok, but you are always changing trucks. Ooh 🫢
BLAH BLAH BLAH 😂
Neat trick with the blue tape, aligning and containing the squeeze out. Well thought out with the spacer too. Now I wish I had spent a bit more time finishing my french cleat wall holders. Yours look great.
Thanks! It’s ok, you can always remake them like I am for my shop. Remember. All of these tools were already hung on the wall. . . To a degree. So if it bugs you, do it! And I know you can do it better than mine! 😁😉
Always good to get organised. Very rewarding and entertaining to watch. Thanks for the storage ideas.
Thanks for watching!
Very good build. I like how you are able to change the design to fit your needs.
Thanks!
Good to see you doing an upgrade that will make your shop a ahppier place. What is this sleep thing you mention?
Lol right? 😂
Lol right? 😂
Lol right? 😂
You told you wife you’ll be right in and it took you a month to go back in 😂
It did it’s job by making you laugh! 🤣
I like the form a lot. Each tool is straight and well organized. I really like that. I'm concerned that I would end up pulling out multiple tools to find the one I'm looking for. I've been working on a french cleat based design that would hold the tools in a well organized pattern, like yours, and would clearly show the length, size, tip, etc., for each. Funny thing is, if I can't figure something out soon I'm just going to build one like yours (thank you very much!) and place labels on the holder. All of that said, thanks for the videos. I know they are a lot of work and I appreciate your approach. Cheers!
Thanks for your kind words! And thanks for the comment! I really enjoy feedback, especially when they are as long as yours! I’m fortunate that my Phillips and flat head screwdrivers each have markings on the butt of the handle, so I can see which one is which, so then it was just a matter of putting the longer ones in front, where they would have a deeper area to dangle in, and the shorter ones behind. That’s also why I broke up the whole thing into tiers, so I could do rows for other styles. If you have more than what I have, you may want to consider more than one holder so it isn’t so huge, and also maybe a color coded system that matches the driver to a location? Just a few thoughts to help if you haven’t already thought of them. I appreciate the watch and subscribe, stay tuned for more French cleat ideas 😁
Like what you're doing bud. Nice to see a normal size shop, here in the UK my shop is 16x12. I can relate to your shop. Keep going with the videos
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching! 😁
yeah im gping to steal this for my hammers. thanks!
Go for it!!
French cleats for specific tools
Coming soon hopefully
Just down your channel. I like the fact that toy are only a part time UA-camr. The point you made about having a full time job and UA-cam being part is is cool
Thanks. Even though I’m part time UA-cam, it takes a lot of time and effort
After 30 years of teaching high school woodshop, I would have to call you out for using your table saw fence and miter gauge simultaneously without a spacer block when you were cutting the french cleats towards the end of the video... but I have to admit that I do it too when nobody is looking 👀😎 One question that I need to ask is WHERE did you get your "screwmates" from? I have a set exactly like the ones you use, but I would like to add a backup set to my collection. I have searched all over for them but keep coming up empty handed. They are some of the best that I have ever used. Nice elegant solution to a clamp storage problem!
Thank you for watching and yes, I’ve been made aware that I am in fact doing things dangerously 🤪 Im assuming that by screwmates you mean the drawers under my workbench. I used to work at Home Depot, and one day they were replacing all of the specialty hardware bins in the screw aisle, and I was able to lay claim to three of them before they got thrown away. I love them too! When I built my workbench I made sure to angle the front of the units up just a little, so that they always want to shut automatically. Thanks again for watching, and believe it or not, I never took wood shop in high school, even though now I wish that I had. Check out the shop upgrade 1-5 review video I made that addresses some of my improvements to the upgrade now that I’ve used them for a bit
@@imaginationingrained What I referred to as "screwmates" in your video were the bits that were in your drill to bore the pilot holes for the screws, hence their name, "Screwmate". They were originally made by Stanley Corp. out of stamped steel in various sizes. Sadly, they appear to be no longer available. When I saw them in your video, I was hoping that you had located a new source for them.
Ooooh, those. Sorry, yeah when my dad passed away I inherited his tools and he had a set of them. They are a good countersink set, great for wood screws. I really like them too. So yeah, mine are from the ‘70’s/‘80’s
Love the creative process partner! Keep the uploads comin 🤟🤟
I’m tryin
Love the videos , great work!
Thanks Kaiden
You luck to be alive 😮
I don't think any project i have done ends the way i started it. I really like your flexible approach.
Thanks!
Its right there and there 😂
Thanks for watching to the end
Much better!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the inspiration to get my french cleat wall underway
Really great project.👏👏
you don't need to apologize for making stuff the way you want to, you are putting the right things first.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
yea clamps!
Solid build!
Why drill holes then fill with dowels
Ok, so, the problem with the way these were constructed, is that you saw me screw in from the back of the plywood into the 2x6. Normally that is not a problem, but the 2x6 was oriented perpendicular to the plywood. So that meant that the screws would be oriented in line with the wood fibers (screwing into end grain). When this is done, and force is applied, the screws can rip out of the end grain. So the dowels are inserted in a perpendicular orientation to the screws, so that when the screws are driven through the dowel, it acts like side grain, and increases the holding power. Does that make sense?
Nice job. I think I will use it. Thank you.
Thank you! It’s comments like this that fuel me to make more
you planning and execution so great to watch.
Thanks for watching!
I hadn't thought of using french cleats this way. As I am still setting up my shop it gives me food for thought. Thanks!
Anytime! 😁
New to your channel, and an instant subscriber. Really like your down-to-earth straight forward style, with just the right amount of nonsense. 😂 Plus I'd never seen the dowel trick...utterly genius in that "man why didn't i think of that" way. And love your shop/channel name too
Thanks man! I actually saw that dowel trick on one of those 5 minute hack videos, which I normally shake my head at, but it actually makes sense.
your sled line idea is great!
Thanks
going to try these in my shop, its a 10 x 16 shed and need room saving ideas like these thank you for the idea
Awesome!! My shop is 11x14. So that is why I made these. I’m glad this helps! 😁👍
Nice space saver. Is it just me or do they look like "Book Ends" hung sideways? I likeit!
I guess they do. Thanks
Thanks for this and the other clamp holder, it was simple enough that I finally took the time to make one :) Probably going to make something similar to this one next.
I’m glad this helped! 😁 don’t forget to check back, I’ve got an upgrade update video coming soon
OMG this video is full of danger... The use of the fence with those small parts is insane..
Your sander is much to high as we saw. I would never use a tool that I had to reach high to use. Not the smartest thing to do... Not smart as well as not safe.....
Do yourself a favor and reinstall the splitter. 8:26 oh my. Do not wait until you have learned it the hard way. Fingers are precious.
Thanks Frank B. I appreciate the concern, and thanks for watching
Safety first...Just sayin'. Eye protection, ear protection, dust mask, riving knife, blade guard (probably removed so audience can see blade) push block or stick...
love yer project gonna buy you a tripod
Thank you for watching rookie, but my shop is too small for a tripod. Check out my Shop Upgrade #4 video to see how I addressed this problem
👍
What was the point of the dowels?

Why do all of you on you tube in sist on not using crown gaurds on circular saws?
Can you please expound?
@@imaginationingrained Not sure if I have ever expounded before, but as a retired joiner I will say using a circular saw without the correctly fitted safety features is in my opinion foolish. No offence intended.
No offense taken since I haven’t used a circular saw in my videos yet. Unless you are referring to the table saw. In which case, I use mine in such a wide array of configurations, that it would take just as much time to set it back up between cuts that it would equal the amount of time it takes to do the entire project. If I had a large enough shop to dedicate a crosscut table saw and a ripping table saw to leave one set up, then I could retire from my day job and do project videos full time. That would be lovely. Also, I have cut my fingers on my tools, and since then, have been very conscientious of my interactions with them. So thank you for your concern, but I have found what works best for me
Why do trolls on UA-cam in sist on having things done their way without having any content themselves?🤦🏽♂️
👍👍👍
Nice upgrade , those things are hanging out nicely now
Really creative coming up with it on the fly too man !! 👌👌
The setup is only ghetto for now 😅😂😂
Love the light idea!
I enjoyed your video. The only problem is where is your mask of respirator. Dust fiber will cause major health issues. Most notably cancer. I hope to see hundreds more video's. So take care of yourself.
I try to wear my mask whenever I’m sanding or cutting, but I also frequently forget to put it on. I will figure out something to remind me to wear it more often. Maybe a shop upgrade air scrubber is in the near future plans to help with that. Thanks for the concern. I appreciate your comment
You make me want to build stuff even tho I don’t have any tools 🤦🏽♂️
Cmon, yes you can! It’s not that hard if I can do it. Lol 😂
Nice video very entertaining 👍🏽
I would like to see what you do with quick clamps and how you store those?
I actually don’t have any of those. Sorry. Maybe in the future…
@@imaginationingrained when, if you get some and find a way to store them let me know.
Will do
