Last minute of your excellent educational and fun video lost voice audio. OTHER THAN THAT, thank you for your work. You've given me ideas for my future work.
Wish you used better titles so we can save the video to rewatch later as reference. Now we can't because we don't know what it is due to the click bait vague title.

@@SpencleyDesignCo As a 100% disabled Vet who basically, and I'm not complaining, got screwed and kicked to the curb by an organization that was supposed to help Vets in need, It Truly warms my heart to see the work that you and Jonathan Katz-Moses is doing for the disabled community. When I'm able to get back into making videos and working in the shop again, I'm definitely going to mention projects like this and the JK-M Charity. Thank you.
I rode down the elevator with JK-M yesterday in Atlanta. I was actually kind of surprised and really didn't know what to say so I just headed through the lobby and up the stairs to the PwnCNC booth where I kicked myself for not saying hello.
Eric - I really like your content. However, I won’t watch any more videos until you stop using needless clickbait titles. They are senseless and make it impossible to reference or search your videos. As someone else said, you are better than this. Use something in the title and thumbnail that gives us some clue as to what these videos are about.
This is the first video I watched from this channel and I thought the same thing. He may get more views but I'm not subscribing or liking. Also soooo many ads for a donation project video.
A lot of these wood workers on UA-cam are fucking annoying. As someone with perfectionism adhd it pisses me off because everyone says only use this or that or don’t use this or that but in reality wood working there is so many ways to do things that are not wrong.
Your channel has a lot of good content, and I've learned quite a bit since I first spotted a video, but the reality is none of it is searchable because the titles are all vague and don't reference the actual content in a meaningful way. When I first watched your vids, the only reason I thought to click on it was because I saw a tool I was currently looking up, in the side bar. Even then browsing your channel videos are a bit difficult. If there is anything I would recommend to improve your content look up, is to use less vague titles or use thumbnails with the main topic in it, if you get me. Otherwise, keep producing all the good work 👍
@@chinese244 Yes we are aware if that, I wont use the word Clickbait' but I just did. I agree with the OP. I'm usually searching for specific things; tools techniques or designs. For example having the term handsaw bench in the title would be very useful. Good advice!! And as for the title, what do we all start to start doing now?
His titles are kinda insulting too. I know it's a marketing thing but I'm here to learn, don't call me stupid and expect me to click on your videos. Some of his recent titles: "I don't know why more people don't do this" "Why hasn't every woodworker learned this" "This is why your woodworking business doesn't make money" "I don't know why more people don't do this" (again) "Woodworkers on youtube are lying to you" "I will never understand why people ruin their projects like this" "Everyone starts with the wrong tools" etc etc etc
27 minutes later and I'm still not even sure what the thing is that I'm supposed to have already known. Is it what a dog hole is? Because I still don't know that either.
I couldn't agree more!! Such a great build for a great reason, but the title is absolute Clickbait, as most of them have been as of recent. So disappointing as you are good at what you do and fun to watch. These titles are just getting out of control.
Spencley Design: his old wodbutcher and retired Architect have learned a tremendous amount. All my work has been pre internet and house carpentry. Renovations and new construction on our own houses while living in them. I'm over in Springfield, Ohio. Thanks so much for your sharing of your talents and slills. Regards, Tom Bailey
Eric, great job and share out. And as always, really appreciate your honesty in being human. Also, awesome to see you giving back and are a big inspiration to us all. Thank you!!!
You deserve a big pat on the back for this project. Anyone who donates time and or material to the underprivileged or handicapped is a saint in my book. 👍👍You were dead right overbuilding this bench. However I think you missed one feature which I think is a must. That is to splay the legs a few degrees. The splay is necessary for stability which I think would be most important for someone with a handicap. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Pre-notching those half laps can easily and quickly be done using a handheld circular saw like you would a table saw. You can cut close to your finished lines and depth, leave 1/8 between kerfs and then chip the remaining wood out. Then clean with router.
this is an amazing thing. as a disabled woodworker myself, I would love to have these shop aids. if wood prices ever go back to an affordable level, I will be trying to get the plans for all three of the helpers. VA pensions teach you how to be patient, and save for even the small items.
Safety alert- do not use a screwdriver as a wedge when cutting on your table saw! Use a pice of scrap wood. Screwdrivers are nasty projectiles when they fall and roll into the spinning blade
Great video, great cause. I also really like how you show multiple options to accomplish the same task. Very helpful when you don’t have all the tools you wish you had.
as a disabled maker who has found it hard as heck to afford what I want/need on a disability budget, I want to thank you and JKM for all you are doing. God bless and best wishes.
Thanks for the “SAFETY SEGUE”! Safety Glasses AND a leather apron! For your consideration: I understand your saw blade is set low for safety. That said and understood, setting it higher makes for cleaner cuts with less effort required. You might want to give in and use a blade guard with the blade set higher. It also MAY be less prone to collecting pitch. Lastly if you’re not using a thin kerf blade, you should. It’s like adding another 1/2 hp to your saw! I highly recommend Forrest. I purchased my Forrest 10” thin kerf in 1987. It’s been back to Forrest twice for resharpening and has many years left in it!
FYI, I have unsubscribed because of the click-bait headlines. I understand the need to draw attention, but the headlines and thumbnails provide zero clues to know what the video is about, so the channel is of little value to me as a woodworking reference. In this case, was it a safety video? No. What should I pay attention to? I assume you were referring to the planer problem, but how would paying more attention prevent that? It’s a cautionary reminder, but that seems to be it. Maybe I lack imagination. Anyway, best of luck for now.
The Dewalt battery operated palm router is incredible! I just got one and it is incredible for carving and woodworking. I bought the plunge base it is even better.
Eric, I really like your videos and am currently a subscriber. BUT, I *really* dislike the clickbait titles that tell me nothing about what the video is actually about. It's very frustrating and, frankly, a little insulting to your viewers. I've pretty much stopped watching your videos because of it. The titles are misleading and you never really even address the thing you breathlessly reference in the videos. It's why I'm on the verge of unsubscribing. I've seen many other comments to this effect as well. As I said, I enjoy your videos. You clearly have something valuable to offer the woodworking community, and you have an appealing, earnest style. I beg you to respect your viewers' intelligence (and time) by being as earnest with your video titles. I don't want to miss good, worthwhile stuff like this video. But I do want to know what I'll be watching based on the title.
Regarding trimming the dowels with your broken saw, have you considered using your multi tool to cut them off? It works very well for me. Just a thought.
Love it. Always enjoy your videos. But This one truly hit home. I am in tears and needed to thank you for sharing this project and all the information to help bring awareness to disabilities. I normally just give 👍 to videos I enjoy. I don't express things to well so I don't leave comments. Just needed to say from the bottom of my heart how much this touched me. And how amazing you and the wood working community really is. THANK YOU!!!
Interesting video. I applaud your support for handicapped workers. They need it. I do have some small suggestions for a slight improvement to your design. First, on a bench like yours the legs would normally be splayed outwards a couple inches. This will add a great deal of stability. The cuts would be the same on the bench top. The leg joints would need to be angled. These cuts would be difficult with a table saw but easy with a band saw or a hand saw. Second, when installing ordinary round dowels in a blind hole, they need ribs to give the glue and air room to move. This is easily done by simply crunching the dowel with a pair of pliers that have big teeth (vise grips. Channellock's, old-fashioned slip joint pliers). you wind up with longitudinal grooves that allow much easier insertion, and they can still be smooth where they show.
Every now and then, pull the bit out slightly when drilling deep holes like the ones for the dowels, it'll help evacuate the sticky material. You'll save it from lots of overheating and extend its life.
Its a work bench, if you look at Green on Green finiture it often has shelf or stretchers that run past the legs its a style, so does some Japanese stuff. I think it looked better insted of flush trimming it.
Crazy suggestion... make a new handle for the saw ;) Agree with lots of other comments, please stop with the awful clickbaity irrelevant titles. They make your channel cheap & make it very hard for followers to find a particular video we might want to revisit in the future.
Kid, you have great video presence. Almost like you were born in front of a camera. I laughed when you added that Stretcher and said it will also serve as a shelf to put tools. Absolutely! While my bench and Stretcher is a good deal wider than yours it does serve to quickly place and loose tools buried under other tools! I'm constantly grumbling to myself and swearing I'm going to take the time to organize that mess under there! I'm coming up on my 77th birthday. Digging around down there is taxing on my old legs and back. BTW, you'd be wise (*Woodworker SOP*) to edge bevel the foot of those legs. Not doing so invites tear-out splinters!😉 Wakodahatchee Chris
Question, why are you using a Forstner bit for through holes? Those are typically for holes that need a flat bottom. There are better bits for through holes. Overall, good design.
Hi there, I noticed you used a blue feather board when cutting the stretcher on the table saw towards the end. When do you decide to use a featherboard and when is it ok to do without one? Thanks. I subscribed after hearing what this project was for. Respect your kind heart.
Awesome build for an Awesome cause! It’s amazing to see so many forces come together to bless another Woodworker, that love and support hits me in the feels. I too take way to long on mark ups and over engineering projects, somewhat due to me being a woodworking novice, but it makes me happy to learn even experienced folks share similar processes.
Zbytečně pilu přetěžuješ. Zuby kotouče mají být nad materiálem, aby nevytvářely při řezu pnutí víc,než je nezbytně nutné. Snižuje to zátěž na motor a snižuje to množství spálených stop na řezu materiálu. Vidím to na každém videu na UA-cam... Jako kdyby lidé nechápali fyziku. Zuby jsou širší než samotný kotouč a čím déle jsou zuby v řezaném materiálu, tím kratší mají životnost a tím horší je řez. Nevýhod je víc. Nemám chuť to tady rozvádět a rozepisovat.
Super work bench Eric and for a good cause! A quick comment on the bench, it's so good looking it's a shame it's going to get a pounding and get scratched up! We often don't realize that those with disabilities have the same aspirations as those without disabilities have. And creating something with your own hands builds confidence and satisfaction that is unique. In viewing your video I couldn't help notice what a nice table saw fence you are using and was wondering if you could provide some info on it and a few other tools you used. I am subscribed and I always enjoy looking at your builds and videos!
Awesome job Eric! You did a fine job and blessed someone else with a gift you were given. You're a good guy but anybody that's followed you for more than five minutes knows that. Congrats on 100k subscribers.
Question: I believe you have a video where you discuss router bits and their coatings. In fact, I recall you mentioning that whatever brand they are recently changed to a new coating that has a sort of iridescent appearance. Am I right? If so, please remind me which video it is because I have already spent hours trying to find it again. Thank you.
I was just cutting to buy white 9 1/4 boards yesterday and got kicked back from my circular saw. I attempted it three times and had to flip the board over and go out it from the other direction which of course you know didn’t line up exactly now I’m new to this So it didn’t make me uncomfortable and after a couple of boards I ended up having to stop. These are my first projects in 35 years. I just can’t figure out what I was doing wrong?
Maybe you weren't trying to cut a long board to the exact needed length? Expect the twist in the boards to confound their cutting. Stop and make another cut, making a wider path for the blade.
@@mrscience1409 I was thinking crosscutting, however the same would apply to ripping, although there are other ways to create room for the blade when ripping, like using a wooden wedge to open the saw kerf.
Yes, either there was tension that caused twisting, or if she is not experienced, maybe the workpiece was supported on each end and when the amount of remaining wood could not prevent the board from starting to collapse, it did and pinched the blade. Or the board was wet and the friction grabbed the blade.
Very nice Eric! New subscriber here. Just ran across your video and liked it! Isn’t it humbling to give like you do. All of my woodworking I give away. What a great feeling! Keep up the good work brother!
This is one of your best videos. Really enjoyed it and it’s great to know about people like you and JKM doing things like this. There are so many ways that we all can help our communities. it can be simple things or big things or anything in between. Can you imagine what our communities would be like if we all chose to do something? A complete non-related side note. I wish your titles lined up better your content. Your videos would be easier to search. 🤞
Really enjoy your videos. I agree with other viewers about getting better titles. The music is not as bad as in some UA-cam videos, but is still completely unnecessary and sometimes makes it more difficult to hear what you are saying, and can be distracting. In this video, the voice audio track stopped about 27:13. The music continued, of course. Hang in there. There is always room for improvement; or to put it another way, there is always potential to do better. Best wishes! Happy holidays! Stay safe!
As the father of a low functioning autistic child, actually young adult since just turned 20 but doesn’t look a day over 14 and most frequently gravitates things made for toddlers or very young children, I have to leave a comment to help spread the word about the charity although i hope they take time to ensure that whatever they give someone is safe for their developmental age.
When you use real tight fitting dowels, sometimes the glue gets pushed to the bottom and the dowels won’t seat at the bottom. I cut a tiny linear channel in each dowel to let the glue escape.
Wow....this totally changed my perspective of you. Anytime, anyone goes out of their way for people with special, and or specific needs it just melts me. I'm a father of special needs child, that I would do anything for him.
How do I get involved with this charity I am a 65 year old in a wheelchair trying to do some woodworking because I can no longer do what I was trained to do
Is that "high quality lumber" southern yellow pine? That stuff can be very hard and dense. I think this is part of the reason why your tools struggled with it a bit. I really enjoy working with SYP when I want a wood part that's hard and dense. I also like SYP because it's relatively cheap at my bigbox store. Yeah, I would not have cut that half-lap with a router like you did just because I try to avoid generating a lot of saw dust. I probably would have cut the shoulders with a circular saw or even just a hand saw, drilled some holes, and cut the middle part out with a jigsaw, and then snuck up on all the edges of the cuts with my router. But that's also because I just have an underpowered trim router.
You used some low cost under drawer slides, would you link those of us who are looking for some options that aren’t $100 a pair. I’d humbly suggest you link the items you use in your videos. We would appreciate it so much
Like even quality allen keys I almost tork them until they twist, when I attach these little knives. Im not a fan of how the knives are out in the open like they are on your machine, they should be more imbedded so they are more secure. At least they are on the cutting tools I operate (cutting tools from my boss)
Great cause and great video. How did you come up with the idea to use a router for the notches on the half laps? Love the clean sides and bottom it leaves.
Nice video... And I never thought to do a dado on the side that way. Cool.... However, why did you not use the table saw sled and the Daod blade? Still a good video...
I would agree that these knives are more versatile, you can mill wood in more ways. Yet I wouldn't mind having a dent in my straight blades. I mean for decent wood finish you gotta pull out the sanding machine anyway and it takes no effort sanding out a little line. Plus it's cheaper to replace. So if you have dirty wood, use old blades, if you really need to get that nice finish on clean wood, switch out the blades. So the real upside on these little knives is more cutting options, in my view, wouldn't you agree?
Your a huge inspiration man! I just started wood working and I love your videos, it feels like I’m in the shop working with you! Thanks for the awesome videos
Eric, you were making a workbench but it looks like a piece of furniture, and that's OK. It shows pride in your workmanship and attention to detail. I too have the overbuild disease, if it really is that, and the good thing is you rarely have to build something a second time except for the occasional design mistake. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
Why was the ruler placed over that hole on the top? Oh...you overcut the V end. HaHaHa. The router on the bottom 'shelf' missed on the leg ends. Man, you are right...entertainment value.
Historically have enjoyed the content. Unsubbing though. Tell me what is in the video in the title. There is too much content out there to have to deal with the clickbait/mystery stuff. Just look at the last dozen titles...
Great video and instructions. And THANK YOU for being the first woodworker admitting to doing OVERKILL on some of their work. I mean some will go into a ten hour video PART ONE of 5. ( I am exaggerating lol) in creating a 4 square inch wood cube . You get the point.....lol. I like the fact of measuring an extra 1/8 or 1/4 inch and then go back and flush it up. THANK YOU AGAIN
That plainer from Dewalt must be really crappy to be able to do that! Motor also seems very undersized due to the rpm sinking so significant under load…

Wish you used better titles so we can save the video to rewatch later as reference. Now we can't because we don't know what it is due to the click bait vague title.

Nice little saw bench.... and I see you figured out a nice way to fix that overcut on the notch. well done!
Nicely done! That looks great!!!
Thanks dude! And thanks for you generous donation!
@@SpencleyDesignCo You're welcome! I'm glad I could help!
Don't the helix carbide strain the planer? I've seen that it pulls a great deal more power from planer.
Crazy suggestion... make a new handle for the saw ;)
Agree with lots of other comments, please stop with the awful clickbaity irrelevant titles. They make your channel cheap & make it very hard for followers to find a particular video we might want to revisit in the future.
Great Job Eric!! I finally moved to Florida and set up my shop. Now I just need to save up for lumber for my projects.
&/Or go and acquire some off of CL or other platforms, for the cost of gas, time, and energy.
Keep up the great work man!
Eric's at it again. Making woodworking accessible. Cheers!
Awesome bench !!!👍👏👏💪
Kid, you have great video presence. Almost like you were born in front of a camera. I laughed when you added that Stretcher and said it will also serve as a shelf to put tools. Absolutely! While my bench and Stretcher is a good deal wider than yours it does serve to quickly place and loose tools buried under other tools! I'm constantly grumbling to myself and swearing I'm going to take the time to organize that mess under there! I'm coming up on my 77th birthday. Digging around down there is taxing on my old legs and back.
BTW, you'd be wise (*Woodworker SOP*) to edge bevel the foot of those legs. Not doing so invites tear-out splinters!😉

Try coating your table saw blade with WD40 Specialist Dry Lube. It really helps limit the build-up of sap. I also use it on my router bits. :-)
Question, why are you using a Forstner bit for through holes? Those are typically for holes that need a flat bottom. There are better bits for through holes. Overall, good design.
Hi there, I noticed you used a blue feather board when cutting the stretcher on the table saw towards the end. When do you decide to use a featherboard and when is it ok to do without one? Thanks.
I subscribed after hearing what this project was for. Respect your kind heart.
Great, fantastic, amazing video
Love your videos. I find them informative and creative.
Can an H. head be added to another dwalt planer that came with a different blade? I bought a Dwalt that was on sale just recently
Love your work. You have my subscription! Cheers.
Awesome build for an Awesome cause! It’s amazing to see so many forces come together to bless another Woodworker, that love and support hits me in the feels.
I too take way to long on mark ups and over engineering projects, somewhat due to me being a woodworking novice, but it makes me happy to learn even experienced folks share similar processes.
Zbytečně pilu přetěžuješ. Zuby kotouče mají být nad materiálem, aby nevytvářely při řezu pnutí víc,než je nezbytně nutné. Snižuje to zátěž na motor a snižuje to množství spálených stop na řezu materiálu. Vidím to na každém videu na UA-cam... Jako kdyby lidé nechápali fyziku. Zuby jsou širší než samotný kotouč a čím déle jsou zuby v řezaném materiálu, tím kratší mají životnost a tím horší je řez. Nevýhod je víc. Nemám chuť to tady rozvádět a rozepisovat.
Super work bench Eric and for a good cause! A quick comment on the bench, it's so good looking it's a shame it's going to get a pounding and get scratched up! We often don't realize that those with disabilities have the same aspirations as those without disabilities have. And creating something with your own hands builds confidence and satisfaction that is unique. In viewing your video I couldn't help notice what a nice table saw fence you are using and was wondering if you could provide some info on it and a few other tools you used. I am subscribed and I always enjoy looking at your builds and videos!
For hogging out lap joints, a handsaw, multi-kerf, pop out the waste
You should have way more subscribers. Great build!
Find a good blade sharpening company that can sharpen your bits and blades. It's a lot cheaper and super easy.
Awesome job Eric! You did a fine job and blessed someone else with a gift you were given. You're a good guy but anybody that's followed you for more than five minutes knows that. Congrats on 100k subscribers.
Question: I believe you have a video where you discuss router bits and their coatings. In fact, I recall you mentioning that whatever brand they are recently changed to a new coating that has a sort of iridescent appearance. Am I right? If so, please remind me which video it is because I have already spent hours trying to find it again. Thank you.
Good job!!!!
Cool project and great charity!
The Dewalt palm router is the bomb!! I have one it is stupendous
I was just cutting to buy white 9 1/4 boards yesterday and got kicked back from my circular saw. I attempted it three times and had to flip the board over and go out it from the other direction which of course you know didn’t line up exactly now I’m new to this So it didn’t make me uncomfortable and after a couple of boards I ended up having to stop. These are my first projects in 35 years. I just can’t figure out what I was doing wrong?
Maybe you weren't trying to cut a long board to the exact needed length? Expect the twist in the boards to confound their cutting. Stop and make another cut, making a wider path for the blade.
Ripping or crosscutting?
@@mrscience1409 I was thinking crosscutting, however the same would apply to ripping, although there are other ways to create room for the blade when ripping, like using a wooden wedge to open the saw kerf.
Yes, either there was tension that caused twisting, or if she is not experienced, maybe the workpiece was supported on each end and when the amount of remaining wood could not prevent the board from starting to collapse, it did and pinched the blade. Or the board was wet and the friction grabbed the blade.
The broken saw, your a woodworker make a handle.
When do you know when to use 1 or 2 on ur planner?
Where do you get your insert?
Very nice Eric! New subscriber here. Just ran across your video and liked it! Isn’t it humbling to give like you do. All of my woodworking I give away. What a great feeling! Keep up the good work brother!
You were asking for suggestions for projects. How about a Frank Lloyd Wright plywood lounge chair? I can't find plans anywhere for these.
This is one of your best videos. Really enjoyed it and it’s great to know about people like you and JKM doing things like this. There are so many ways that we all can help our communities. it can be simple things or big things or anything in between. Can you imagine what our communities would be like if we all chose to do something? A complete non-related side note. I wish your titles lined up better your content. Your videos would be easier to search. 🤞
Do what?
Really enjoy your videos. I agree with other viewers about getting better titles. The music is not as bad as in some UA-cam videos, but is still completely unnecessary and sometimes makes it more difficult to hear what you are saying, and can be distracting. In this video, the voice audio track stopped about 27:13. The music continued, of course.
Hang in there. There is always room for improvement; or to put it another way, there is always potential to do better.
Best wishes! Happy holidays! Stay safe!
Why you call the garage apartment?
A friend made me an apron that says, 'Hold on while I overthink this.' Love your comments regarding this. :0
As the father of a low functioning autistic child, actually young adult since just turned 20 but doesn’t look a day over 14 and most frequently gravitates things made for toddlers or very young children, I have to leave a comment to help spread the word about the charity although i hope they take time to ensure that whatever they give someone is safe for their developmental age.
When you use real tight fitting dowels, sometimes the glue gets pushed to the bottom and the dowels won’t seat at the bottom. I cut a tiny linear channel in each dowel to let the glue escape.
Wow....this totally changed my perspective of you. Anytime, anyone goes out of their way for people with special, and or specific needs it just melts me.
I'm a father of special needs child, that I would do anything for him.
How do I get involved with this charity I am a 65 year old in a wheelchair trying to do some woodworking because I can no longer do what I was trained to do
Where you been? Ready for more videos. Cheers
Nicely done sir.
Is that "high quality lumber" southern yellow pine? That stuff can be very hard and dense. I think this is part of the reason why your tools struggled with it a bit.
I really enjoy working with SYP when I want a wood part that's hard and dense. I also like SYP because it's relatively cheap at my bigbox store.
Yeah, I would not have cut that half-lap with a router like you did just because I try to avoid generating a lot of saw dust. I probably would have cut the shoulders with a circular saw or even just a hand saw, drilled some holes, and cut the middle part out with a jigsaw, and then snuck up on all the edges of the cuts with my router. But that's also because I just have an underpowered trim router.
You used some low cost under drawer slides, would you link those of us who are looking for some options that aren’t $100 a pair. I’d humbly suggest you link the items you use in your videos. We would appreciate it so much
Like even quality allen keys I almost tork them until they twist, when I attach these little knives. Im not a fan of how the knives are out in the open like they are on your machine, they should be more imbedded so they are more secure. At least they are on the cutting tools I operate (cutting tools from my boss)
Great cause and great video. How did you come up with the idea to use a router for the notches on the half laps? Love the clean sides and bottom it leaves.
Nice video... And I never thought to do a dado on the side that way. Cool.... However, why did you not use the table saw sled and the Daod blade? Still a good video...
I would agree that these knives are more versatile, you can mill wood in more ways. Yet I wouldn't mind having a dent in my straight blades. I mean for decent wood finish you gotta pull out the sanding machine anyway and it takes no effort sanding out a little line. Plus it's cheaper to replace. So if you have dirty wood, use old blades, if you really need to get that nice finish on clean wood, switch out the blades. So the real upside on these little knives is more cutting options, in my view, wouldn't you agree?
Grande causa e grande vídeo.
"Tonka" Table Saw, gotta love it, Ha! Gb
Your a huge inspiration man! I just started wood working and I love your videos, it feels like I’m in the shop working with you! Thanks for the awesome videos
Eric, you were making a workbench but it looks like a piece of furniture, and that's OK. It shows pride in your workmanship and attention to detail. I too have the overbuild disease, if it really is that, and the good thing is you rarely have to build something a second time except for the occasional design mistake. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
Was it a nightmare installing that helical head in your Dewalt planer? I’ve been putting it off for months.
Why was the ruler placed over that hole on the top? Oh...you overcut the V end. HaHaHa. The router on the bottom 'shelf' missed on the leg ends. Man, you are right...entertainment value.
In aviation we say any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Any method that gets it done is right.
Very nice !
Historically have enjoyed the content. Unsubbing though. Tell me what is in the video in the title. There is too much content out there to have to deal with the clickbait/mystery stuff. Just look at the last dozen titles...
Great video and instructions. And THANK YOU for being the first woodworker admitting to doing OVERKILL on some of their work. I mean some will go into a ten hour video PART ONE of 5. ( I am exaggerating lol) in creating a 4 square inch wood cube . You get the point.....lol. I like the fact of measuring an extra 1/8 or 1/4 inch and then go back and flush it up. THANK YOU AGAIN
Overkill bench but the tools that you used was cool.
That plainer from Dewalt must be really crappy to be able to do that! Motor also seems very undersized due to the rpm sinking so significant under load…
