    Hi Nick! Hi Travis!
    What an inspirational video! I tried something over the summer that really toughens up the screw threads. I tapped the wood and then poured some CA glue over the threads to make them a little more durable. I let the glue dry overnight and then, I re-tapped the hole and Voila!
    Best Wishes and Take Care,

    Señor Engler, i bought this plans since i believe the the box & tenon add more stiffness and also value than, lets say, pocketholes. The only reason i decided to buy this is 1-the utility and handyness of the jig and 2- that you actually use metric system on the plan as I really do believe that is more precise and intuitive. Let's see if i can suck up more juice to my new small table saw.

    Thanks Nick. Your clever approach to practical solutions which I struggle with sometimes is very reassuring mate.
    My only issue is the absence of a mitre track in my table saw. Well, it does have one but it’s garbage as is the table saw. I either need to get something decent, like a makita or Dewalt or make one. I have plans that I’ve bought over the years which are yet to receive attention.
    Once again, my thinks for the video.

    • @WorkshopCompanion
      @WorkshopCompanion  Рік тому +2

      Possibly. But the shoulder cut limits the tear-out to almost nothing and make the tenon clean and smooth. Besides that, set-up is not where you spend most of your time in a shop. I always tell my students that for any given project, they will spend 5% of their time woodworking, 35% of their time setting up to do some woodworking, and 60% of their time looking for their tools.

    Having watched this video before, one thing that struck me just now is the question, how well/long do the grooves in the micro-adjuster block for the precision screw last? I mean, being wood, I would assume that even with great care, it won't be permanent and some "slop" will eventually introduce itself?

Toggle is the word my young nephew came up with years ago, possibly in a mind meld with his dog. So maybe your buddy thought it was time for a walk when you said “toggle.” In any case, that word always makes me laugh.

      @@DirtyDogOutdoors24 Thank you so much -- I really do appreciate your generosity and your flexibility. UA-cam does not pay all the bills. I have taught Wood as an Engineering Material at the University of Cincinnati for many years, then ran the Shopsmith Woodworking Academy for a few years after that. I love teaching, but this particular business -- making 2-3 high-quality videos a month -- is all I can handle right now. Besides, you'd be extremely disappointed with the topics of conversation in this particular shop. Travis and I maintain the myth that we talk about making cool things from wood all day, but in reality most of our conversations are about lighting, scripts, animation, building a new video editing computer, and whether or not we changed the batteries in the lapel mike.

    Nick, I have a personal question that's been on my mind for awhile now. Dating back to your Sawdust Sessions at Shopsmith, and up through to today's video; why have you always worn a maroon or reddish colored shirt?
    I'm not judging you. It's a nice color for a shirt. I'm just making a curious observation (if that's at all possible).

    • @WorkshopCompanion
      @WorkshopCompanion  Рік тому +1

      Weird-but-good question. Whenever we make a video, we edit it to make it look like I'm just taking 10 to 15 minutes out of my day to explain something for some visitors to my workshop. In reality, a short video takes several days -- occasionally weeks -- to produce. And oftentimes, when it goes to editing, there are scenes that have to be re-shot. Throughout all of this, I need to wear the same outfit for "continuity," i.e. maintain the illusion this is just a casual confab at my workbench. If I was constantly switching shirts, it would be distracting. Now add to this the fact that we often are producing two or three videos at once. Rather than try to remember what shirt I wore in what video, I simply wear the same outfit for all of them. As for the choice of maroon, it's a warm color that stands out from most workshop backgrounds.
