Well played Mr. Ramsey. I applaud you for sign intro. The sign is level, the rest of the world is askew.
The year 2020 agrees with this statement.
the year 2023 still agrees with this statement.
Yes. The intro was fantastic. Steve's way if saying "I don't give a crap what you think, it's my shop".
The commenter must be new to the channel, one time someone complained to Steve that when he moved the pipe clamp storage holder that the wall behind it wasn't painted and he needed to paint it, so he painted it purple (not white)... and left it that way for the longest time. So yeah... he's funny like that... be careful for what you ask for when it comes to Steve. LOL
@@raymitchell9736 brilliant 🤣
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Alaric Dayton instablaster ;)
@Ethan Adriel I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I love your videos just the way they are, Steve! Your down-home, plain-spoken manner is just what I look for on You-Tube, and you're one of the funniest guys in the woodworking world! You also give us a wealth of useful information, geared to the amateur woodworker. Thanks for all the work you do!
Steve thank you for this channel. I have learned so much from watching quit a few of your videos, which I intend to try and watch every one of them. I like the way that you explain things in a way its easy to understand. Most of the other videos from others don't take the time to do that. Again thank you for taking the time in explaining.
Thanks for being so positive and welcoming to newbie woodworkers, Steve!
I've really enjoyed all the videos you made during lockdown, you've given us many giggles which lightened up an otherwise dreary time in our lives, so keep doing what you do so well. Having just started out experiencing the joys of woodworking, I've learnt so much from your videos which most importantly showed me how to enjoy woodworking, so a huge thank you from me. Stay safe and well, best regards from Durban, South Africa
Thank you for making woodworking simple for this old Gal. My husband always wanted to get into woodworking after he retired, but unfortunately he passed too soon (brain cancer). I have recently found myself needing things built, so I'm building them myself. I haven't many tools because I gave his to the kids, but I'm working on getting some. Next project is a display/organizer shelf for my Nail art supplies (I am a Nail Artist) I think I have a good idea of how I will do it now that I have watched a few of your videos ;) Thank you again Steve!
Sorry, I had to fast forward a 2:50 minutes. But thank you. You are always so informative. Greatly appreciated. And shout out to those in the Central Valley. YAY YAY!
Wow, such awesome summer jam projects everyone. Can’t wait to see more!
Click, click, click (that’s me sending this video to all my friends!) Thanks for the great explanation Steve. It’s really great how you address people’s comments and queries.
Half of the fun of your video’s is when you address comments from your viewers and the woodwork information is always helpful. I can’t see me switching off anytime soon Steve.👍👍👍
My jointing jig consists of some 1/8" angle aluminum stock from your local home improvement store. The length doesn't matter. Just be sure it is long enough for the entire board to clear the blade. Attach the aluminum to the top of the board using double sided tape, one side of the aluminum on the top of the board and the other to ride along the fence. I don't use carpet tape. Way to hard to remove. I use double sided tape from MLCS. You don't need to run the tape for the length of the board, just a couple or three pieces of tape. After jointing the first edge, simply remove the aluminum, being careful not to warp/bend it, and run the board through again with the jointed edge against the fence.
Thanks, Steve, for all the info and entertainment. Keep it up.
Does the aluminum gauge the fence? Had been thinking about that as well, but more along the line of attaching it to a sled as a reference edge. Would be more solid and dead-nuts straight out of the box.
WOW do really people ask all this questions? I guess i am to relaxed. I am so happy the art of wood you have on the wall was straighten up. It is really fun to see what people have made in this 2 days. A lot of nice things. I wish you all a fantastic day, and hope you got to do something fun. Best wishes from Jan in Norway
I love Steve's choice of words and sense of humour. He is actually very articulate and smart
What I do with longer wood workpieces is place them up against an aluminum "I" beam level and the level up against the table saw fence. I push the workpiece and level together in unison, that helps keep a straight edge across longer edges when the workpiece is longer than the fence.
I really think your content has improved due to the shoeshine box, Steve. Getting into the absolute basics is something that I think your channel is perfectly suited for. Someone like Antonio who doesn't even know what tools they have can watch your channel and really learn a lot.
Love your channel. I am a beginner, and you have been a big help!!
Love watching these videos like... every day. It really makes me want to drop by for a coffee or something and just shoot the stuff* with ya, Steve.
One thing my son and I loved and wish you could do more of is the "WOODWORKING WOOODDDDWOOOORKING!" cuts from a few videos ago - I'm sure we're not the only ones who get a kick out of it :)
Keep being awesome! Stay safe out there in CA!
You always put a smile on my face... thank you 🙏
Have enjoyed your videos for a long time but the lockdown series has been fantastic, really helped get me through this time, whilst continuing to learn and enjoy near daily updates! Keep up the good work Steve!
Andrew, Oxford, 🇬🇧
Love the ten second skip function, but I never skip anything in your videos. Even your old baked in adds were entertaining.
Keep up the good work. You've helped me learn a lot, make some good projects and smart purchases too.
Intro nonsense. Love it.
I'm a Newby from across the pond and I am learning alot from you.
Great channel Steve.
I should make a Camp Crystal Lake sign for our old vacation cabin. Sometimes people walk onto our property exploring, thinking that it’s abandoned. It’s a bit owergrown and wild. They usually get a good jump when they suddenly see me standing there quietly. Also I should get a hockey mask.
I love your beginning ramblings
I quite enjoy your weird ass quarantine videos.
RE: the lid: maybe just put a chamfer around the inside of the lid to clear the tray corner. :P Very exciting episode! :D
Or a chamfer around the sliding tray. Or both!
Well it’s finally happened! We have finally driven Steve crazy!
You know, this channel usually has more comments than any other channel. If you consider that you are making a video everyday that is amazing. And also, the comments on your videos are often as interesting to read as anything. The way you jump around from one idea to another keeps me on my mental toes. Love it. Keep up the difficult work. And I love both Aahmbeyonce and ambience 😄
I prefer ahm-bee-aunce pronunciation personally. But I’m still here! I love the personality you bring to your videos.
Came here to say these same three things.
So good that you made headlines for sections of this video. Also thanks for entertaining content.
Steve: “No question is too dumb for this channel” Me: “Challenge accepted” 😜
I definitely clicked to subscribe to the newsletter. ^_^ I love seeing inspiration and cool builds. I paused as soon as Steve said the link so I could click it in the description.
Thanks for the News Letter, very fun and useful. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family. I did make a bench for my deck, but I was chicken to send in a picture of it. At least I got in done. It turned out nice. :)
Thanks for all the tips, Steve! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hello my friend Steve, I am an e-man, and I follow you from Kuwait. I am very impressed with your cute personality and the way you explain and your ideas. I ask you to clarify the process of cutting the edges of the tilted wood with a table saw and by applying my work in order to see the result how we accelerate the curved wood board from both sides straight and thank you very much ..
Loved the Jam entries! Well done everyone! 😃
It’s not complication, it’s empowerment over more details
Glad you took care of that sign. Now I am all good!
Great Update ! Some Of The Heat Wave Projects Are Amazing !
"There's no question too dumb for this channel"
Steve: makes the sign tilt the other way instead of making it straight.
Tying a string between the two hooks was definitely too much effort 🤣
Top tier trolling.
I'm a new woodworker and I did this shit fucking around since I don't have a jointer and my planer causes to much snipe...I loved this method. It works works.
Hey Steve, looooong time fan, first time commenter. Your white balance woes resonate with me, I'd love to help you out! I'm just a regular guy, but also professionally speaking I'm a technical director in the Canadian film industry and I'm comfortable with almost anything camera related. It'd be my honor to give you some advise and answer your questions. I see it as repayment to you for all of the wonderful lessons I've learned from your videos! If you're interested just comment and we can figure it out from there, Thanks and keep up all your great work!
Thank you! I really enjoy your videos!
I may not be the first to watch your video Steve but I watch all your videos sometimes more than once you are my favorite woodworker heck probably my favorite you tuber
The words you may be looking for are:
"As long as the same points of contact of the board to the fence continue from the start to the end of the cut, we will get a perfectly jointed board."
Indeed this. And the width of the board is maximized by the lowest point of the warp
In fact , every straight line needs just two points, and as long as two point are touching the fence, the blade will cut the board parallel to that straight line. The only problem in this method is that for long board where those points are near the center, lots of wood is wasted, however that can be fixed by sanding the bowed side and intentionally choosing those two points.
P.S. Two points is minimum requirements and there may be much more points touching the fence.
Also means this really only works when the board isn’t longer than the excess length of the fence with respect to where the blade starts. Any board longer than that may make varying contact. For this cases, the simple jointing jig he mentioned works well.
Steve, you have an awesome channel. Cheers mate from Australia.
Good point I have been strugglling with jigs (ie straight board with factory edge and with clamps to clamp down rough sawn board to staight edge board ) and its such an ackward ordeal . I like your simple method
Mr. Ramsey: Perdón por decirlo en Español, pero debo decirlo en mi idioma para sentirlo: Amo su programa, y amo su actitud. Usted es un maestro de nacimiento. Gracias porque su programa es el más honesto, sencillo, y realmente se siente que tiene deseos de enseñar. Gracias. A mis 52 años, soy su más ferviente estudiante.
I love what you did there with the sign
I have just this morning signed up to the weekend woodworker course. Will make sure to post pics to get the badge 😀
Awe noooo. I missed the jam as I was sent away for work :( please keep hosting these. It sounds really fun.
I use that jointing method quite a bit, but I always try to make 3 cuts. First as you’ve described, then flip to straighten the other side, then back the original just in case. I feel like after the 3 cuts I’m pretty straight and true. That first cut doesn’t always get a fully straight line if the board is super bad. If the board doesn’t feel safe, I’ll use the hand plane to get close first.
I got excited that you started talking about white balance. I love your channel and have learned so much from you. My turn! So the priority settings are there bc light color is measured in degrees kelvin. The sunlight is around 5000k and your shop lights might be around 3000k. So it’s either balanced for sunlight to appear white or for artificial light to appear white but you can’t get both types of light to appear white at the same time. So the priority is up to you. I’d much rather have a warmer tone than a cooler one. The cameras are automatically balanced for sunlight. Which is actually blue. Classic Light bulbs are generally a red yellow color and fluorescent bulbs are green! Your brain just tells you its all white but film or cameras can’t do the same.
lol love the sign intro!
Thanks for clearing that up
So much crap on UA-cam, but videos like this leave me smiling and feeling good.
Don't worry Steve. We watch because we love what you have to say, rambling or not!
Steve, I just watched your boards glue up video and I thought you might have mentioned this but when gluing up the panels the end grains should alternate, or another way of saying is to look at the cup shape the growth rings make and to alternate them.
~just say'n...
Excellent videos Steve!
6:00 I think people might have asked that question because with the glued-up board, there is now no jointed edge to use when cutting it down to size, since the two previously jointed edges are now in the center of the piece.
The weekend-project-run is so good because even if you don't finish it, you just go 90% of the way instead of pushing it over and over
Love your channel!
It makes perfect sense. I don’t get the videos people put on here for jigs to do this. As long as it touches the fence you will get a straight cut!!
It is correctly pronounced “ambiance.” You’re gold, Steve.
Nick Hempsall
I don’t have room for a table saw. Wish I did. So what I do to edge join 2 boards is put them together with the jointing edge up in a vice. Then I get a hand plane and start shaving until I’m getting full shavings from both boards. It doesn’t matter if they aren’t square or 90 degrees. You can even shave both boards to a complete downward or upward angle. It doesn’t matter so long as you get full shavings from both boards. Then put them on a flat surface and put the planed edges together. Kind of hinging then from the bottom unplaned edges. You will see that they are perfect mirrors or each other, and fit together perfectly with no gaps ready for glueing. If I had a table saw then I’d just do it the same as Steve. Ok now you can click click click
Just keep doing videos your way Steve.
John Heisz shows on one of his videos that you can do a few passes alternating sides and you end up with both sides jointed pretty flat.
Ya gotta figure the edges get flatter with every pass, and you just have to shave off a little. It's not like a jointer does it in one pass either. Does it? Never used one.
Frank DeRosa Yep, it usually takes a few passes on the jointer too.
Love the Video tapes. Big thumbs up.
Ahhh that’s much better thank you! You know I love you!
Steve, I learned from my door installer that he has a power plane that he uses with a preset 4 degree angle on it so that the door edge with the handle will clear the frame and still close with a clean look. That's what I would do on the box, but I'd do it on the lid, it will be by far the least obvious location for a tiny angle like that. And, I might do an edge miter on the tray so it's not too sharp.
I never worried about the camp sign I just tilted my head when I saw it 🤪
The worst case scenario is if the back of the board that you're passing through the table saw is warped back around the fence slightly.
Then what happens in that case is as you push the wood against the fence, the wood starts to push out towards the blade from the fence and can cause burning. this also ruins the joint because it essentially the same as pushing against the blade instead of the fence and causes the cut line to move.
Unless it's pretty severe though, if you just run it through again... It'll probably be fine 🤷🏼♂️
If the warp is minor and the board is not excessively long, just using the table saw is totally fine.
It took me a while to figure that out but I mostly agree with you here.
Adjusting the sign was galaxy brain level trolling!
Oh no! Now It's crooked in the wrong direction!!! He has to put it back otherwise it will bother me in every video... all I'm doing is staring at that *&$@!! sign!😜
@@raymitchell9736 I think Steve must have been an artilleryman. Only an artilleryman can miss by a certain amount in one direction, then overcorrect so he misses by the same amount in the other direction, and think he got a hit.
@@jjohnston94 I think you nailed it LOL...😁
He claims to have OCD but I don't think he really does. There are way to many OCD triggers in his shop and the work he does.
Thank you had the same question but didn’t ask. I have seen people use a long level between fence and wood I guess that for long boards
Great explanations, thanks!
You're perfect. Don't change or listen to anyone.
Love it, signed up too
I just found your channel tonight and I really love it. Thank you for all your great content. It is very well rounded. I'd love to hear a bit about the inverted pentagram with the skull and blood dripping from it. lol. Take care!
Hey Steve! If you get something you know is white like a (sheet of paper or something) you can hold it up in the light that you would be standing in, zoom in to make the paper full frame, and then hit the auto white balance trigger, that should solve any issues you might be having with the yellow.
You can also try color correcting in post, but it sounds like you don’t want to get that deep in the weeds.
I believe Jimmy Diresta showed in one of his past videos that you can use a similar technique to joint edges for longer boards as well (don't ask me to find it; it was part of one of his builds). The trick was to make several passes that SHAVED the wood just a little each time. I've done this using my old Craftsman contractors saw and the results have been positive. As always, good stuff, Steve, and that sign looks much straighter now, thank you.
I would say the board needs to finish cutting before it reaches the end of the table and fence. Otherwise the bend will affect the cut.
And I think it could be dangerous.
You could add an auxiliary fencethat is longer than the saw fence to correct that problem
@@miketerpstra5206 Yeah... I have been dealing with this for some time because all I had access to was reclaimed pallet wood. I finally got access to actual lumber recently - and it still had issues like what he showed in the video (curve in the edge). As you mentioned... if you have something of an outfeed table - you can make a defacto extension of the fence. It's been working for me anyway :-)
@@miketerpstra5206 Totally agree, that is the way to do it.
@@John.117 I'd say, you don't really need an outfeed table, a roller stand or 2 should do the trick nicely.
I used a roller stand with my jobsite tablesaw when I ripped the 2x8 I used for a table for said tablesaw (the 10' 2x8 was a leftover from a previous project).
On a sidenote, using the roller stand when cutting the 2x8 to length on my sliding mitre saw made it painfully obvious just how uneven the floor is in my garage (multiple slopes towards a drain in the floor)..... :P
You've got quite a lot of back light. Build a reflector screen or two that can reflect the light from the cameras position in to the camera view. You can use a white cloth, a board, aluminium foil or just anything of your choice. Several screens cancel out the unwanted shadows.
The old Micro-Jig spots probably grabbed a lot in the first 5 seconds.
That's what got me watching!
@@TomM-ug3zc same here. also got me to buy 2. lol
Grrrrripping UA-cam.
Well Steve you capture me in every video cause you are just so darn down to earth and if people can't get with that they can click click click away somewhere else
Thumbs up for Jason’s Adirondack chair!
Now that you mentioned the crooked sign, I can not stop looking at it :) Now you have to fix it :)
In scetchup you could put a circle with the center in the place where hinge is with a radius being the width of the inner dimension of the box plus width of one of the sides. That way you will create an arc which will tell you how much you should cut the tray inside off.
I'm sure many have already commented. AMbient is the surrounding natural light in existence. Brand dependent of how they all balance auto out, but likely the ambient will give you a balanced temperature with all that in mind. Whereas the white balance will take the brightest white sum and decrease shutter (blocking light) regardless of the balance of the total frame. "Ambient light means the light that is already present in a scene, before any additional lighting is added. It usually refers to natural light, either outdoors or coming through windows etc. It can also mean artificial lights such as normal room lights. Ambient light can be the photographer's friend and/or enemy" -cheers
I find the sled joiner the best safest and quickest option. Mine does long or short boards bc I have 5 clamp downs on it.
This is my strategy as well. Also allows you to turn a curved/warped board that can't provide 2 points of contact (i.e. a round or oval piece) into having 1 or more square ends. Steve's method works great for most pre-milled stuff you'll buy tho and its fast.
I use a jointing board, which is just a board I made straight with a string and block plane that is clamped to my work bench, to joint all my other boards with a flush trim bit. Then I use the table saw to rip the other side parallel. Every once in awhile I’ll check my jointing board with a string to make sure the edge is still running true.
When jointing longer board on the table saw you could attach a long auxiliary fence to your saw fence (similar to what you did with your miter saw years ago).
I totally knew you were going to do that with the sign. ;-)
You can always recommend people to your old video about the straight end jig for the table. Could possibly help for those longer boards
Steve, I'm in your course and my friends and family think I've gone middle-aged crazy I'm making so many things. Couldn't you clamp a very long straight board to the fence, and thus extend it as needed, forward and aft of the table, to avoid the piece curving around the blade? I use the jig you showed us and it works great. Thank you Steve!
For your camera lighting I wanna say a good option is to darken one wall and face that window with light coming thru
Put the straightest edge against the fence and run it through the saw. Then flip it and put the edge you just sawed against the fence. Then flip it again, and go back to the side you started with. You can flip it one more time if you wish, but both edges are usually pretty straight and parallel by then. You lose a little width each time you flip it, but not more than a blade's thickness.
Simple solution for the tray. Build the tray as designed, then run it through the table saw, with the blade at a slight angle to trim off enough so the lid clears. Their way you are not making a bunch of angle cuts on the sides, bottom, etc.
I think it can be explained this way, as long as the same 2 Points are in contact with the fence all across the cut, it will create a parallel cut
Exactly, and that really only can happen for boards shorter than the excess length of the fence before the blade. Adding a fence extension would be helpful, especially for those with a job-site saw which has neigh zero excess length;-)
Just a little friendly advice from a veteran weekend woodworker, you can attract a lot more people with more appealing thumbnails. Love your stuff😉👌
Lol...attracting people isn't a high priority for me.
@@SteveRamsey Well said
@@SteveRamsey By the way I want to thankyou personally for guiding me to my new love for woodworking I have been watching your videos since elementary school
Besides packing tape, wax paper is also good to prevent glue from adhering to wood.
I've batted around a few suggestions for that inner tray, but I keep reminding myself that it has to be something Antonio is capable of easily doing. That helps whittle down the options.
