Thank you for 20k subscribers! Stay tuned for next video I will be doing a giveaway as promised 🎉
Dude! At the table saw - push stick!!! (We don't wanna be calling you "Lefty".)
Love your work and ideas from a fellow eNC resident. I've created workbenches in my attached garage with countertops and 15 inch shelf brackets and mounted them to my walls with some GRK lags. I do want to make a workbench like the one your making on casters as well.
I won't spend that amount of time on my workbench frame but I certainly WOULD buy cabinets from you.
GREAT job so far! !! !!!
Haha no worries and I appreciate the feedback! 👍🏻
Butcher block means having the end grain as the working surface. I see that your glasses provide excellent protection to your hat. Makes it easy to spot the commercial production influences!!!
Stavros
Thank you.
I'll use this vid for ideas on a bench for my new shop.
Happy 2023 from Va.
Great presentation. Looks great so far... can't wait for part 2
Love your videos and your presentation, we all make mistakes and when you do you correct them you don't go back and refilm to make everything seem perfect. Watching you feed the wood through the table saw I shudder since for the most part you aren't using a push block or push stick, I have used my 5hp table saw for 35 years and thankfully I still have all my fingers but have learned that a push stick and or a push block has saved me many times over the years. Can't wait for more videos , thank you
Thanks for the great feedback and I’ll keep that in mind in future videos! 👍🏻
With all the high dollar equipment you have it appears you could have just bought a new work bench! LOL!
Another great video, thanks - can’t wait to see part 2
Thank you 😎
love that zambooki walnut
Nice and EASY...! Even I might manage a build like this!
Love this channel, I’m learning so much! 👍
Glad I can share 👍🏻
Nice job mate. For the little clamping blocks, I guess it didn’t work because of the tape, glue it directly to the stretchers, it will come off with a lateral hammer tap with a little sanding afterwards… my 2 cents.. 😉
Great work there.
Thanks for the great feedback 👍🏻
Solid job ! Keep up the great videos
Just an FYI ….. the butcher block recommends sealing & / or finishing within 72 hours so that it doesn’t warp with humidity changes
Seal both sides! My sister made an island of butcher block, didn’t seal both sides and it warped/humped. Looked terrible:)
My friend, I use the same exact brand CCA. You sprayed your accelerant to soon. Spray, literally just before you drop the block onto the leg. The spray causes the Acrylate to set almost instantaneously.
Nice build from Central Carolina
Fantastic video! Hopefully you enjoyed a nice cold Busch Light once you finished
Thank You!
Awesome shop !
Thank you 🙏🏻
Good job
CA glue doesn't work well for calls if you need a bit of clamping pressure. I saw the tops at Lowe's on sale the other day AFTER building my new outfeed table, would have loved to have had a top like that. Great Build looking forward to part II. Later from GVegas!
Yes I think they discontinued it so it was half price! I like how solid it is and great for dog holes 👍🏻
Check floor and decor as well for butcher block. Have had huge selection in my area for half lowes prices.
Nice man!
Subbed
grand idea and design EC.
I’ve rewatched the videos, YT needs more down to earth craftsman like you. Hope the thank you helps and what can do to get the channel to 1M faster!!
Thanks for the awesome feedback! Hopefully one day I can do it full time 👍🏻
Oh wow just realized you gave me a super thanks! That’s awesome I certainly appreciate it 🎉
Great vid nice build congrats on the 20K now +1…. No pressure🤣🤣looking fwd to part2 keep it up!!👍
Thanks for the great feedback! 👍🏻
Congratulations on the 20k 👊🏼. Just a pro tip 🤔 You should consider chamfering the under side of the dog holes to prevent chipping.
Great idea I’ll add that to the list! 👍🏻
Hi! From NC
Dominos used to be called lose tenons and can be made with a drill and table saw.
Someday tells us about that dust collection box at the Kapex
What you wanna know about it? I’m an open book lol 👍🏻
Great video, thank you very much. A simple question. What are the size of the wholes ?
Hi, I'm new to the woodworking hobby. Given the top is discontinued what similar top do you recommend and since its ben almost a year how has the top been holding up? Have you had to reseal? Can you give a follow up? Thank you so much!
Hello fine sir, I live around the corner from you in Calico. I recently found your channel and started following you; great projects…. Do you know someone local or have a recommendation of where I could get blades and bits sharpened? I’m just a hobby woodworker, but I’m getting a collection of things that are too dull to safely use anymore. I look forward to hearing from you.
Nice vid, any videos on your paint booth? I'm in the stages of planning a shop build and I'm trying to figure out what size I should go for without using up too much space.
I don’t have any videos at the moment on it but it’s 14x24 if that helps 👍🏻
That hard to come by Zambuki walnut pine veneer got no love, he tossed it onto the ground like scrap wood.
Clamp City 😄
When using the HVLP sprayers, do you clean it out between coats based on long dry items? How long will you let it sit in the sprayer before you feel you are pushing your luck?
Yes if I’m spraying lacquer or shellac based primer I clean it out within 15mins if it’s going to sit. For paint I’ve pushed it to about an hour before I clean it. Hope this helps 👍🏻
27:40 call the exterminator! Love the video - subscribing.
Lol it was some sort of a hybrid looking bug! Not sure what it was but I let him be 😂
great job. Bug spray for roaches that was a massive one 27:39 in the video or burn the whole shop down lol
What are the holes in the table top used for? Nice build👍
use a sheet of peg board, 1" OC both directions.
Should you put a chamfer on the underside for those dog holes?
Man awesome vid. I think I need one of those ECW tshirts (we can trade) I'm right around the corner (well kinda). I'm in Farmville often on my way to HYDE!
Youngsville..Farmville..Englehard
Not far at all! A trade would be awesome 👍🏻
Love the video. I am concerned about wood movement of the top?
Yea I’ll see how it goes if it does I’ll adjust how I fastened the top to the base. 👍🏻
love the video, can you tell me how flat the table is and thickness
The table is pretty flat! I mean there are a few spots that are low and high but overall very good! The top is 1.75” thick 👍🏻
Great work & ideas. However the average DIYer hasn’t got the workshop size & range of equipment/tools you have.
Nice build. Liked and subbed. I'm going to build one. Have you done part 2 yet :-)
I'm just getting into wood working and am a Novice in every respect. I notice everyone uses wood dools to connect their wood pieces. Can I ask why people dont use metal dools to avoid the dool breaking with some tough love?
Don’t worry the CA and tape trick doesn’t work for me either. But I tested before adding my glue. Haha. Idk if it’s my glue or tape or both but 🤷♂️
Haha glad I’m not the only one that couldn’t get it to work! Thought it was just me 😮
@@eastcarolinawoodworks no had the same problem on some tricky angled glue ups.
I think it's because CA glue has great tension strength against pulling apart (remember the old ads with the guy hanging from his hard-hat glued to a beam?) but poor shear strength, the direction your clamps were pulling. Directions on the old bottles would say that if you accidently glued your fingers together not to try to pull them apart as it would rip your skin, but twist your fingers instead.
Awesome job, loved the video. First time watching. I’m an East Carolina resident myself. Love the spray booth. What size is your booth?
Sweet glad you enjoyed! My spray booth is 14x24 with a 12x14 area I use just for spraying
the top looks bowed. Did you put a straight edge on it?
Yes I did! Had a slight bow about a 1/16 but once I got it screwed to the frame took the bow right out 👍🏻
I think this video is brilliant 👍 The supports/bearers are the skirt, not being comical either. I have to say a bit disappointed you didn’t use a push stick putting timber through the saw, sorry had to be said. I appreciate you not using the blade guard for visual clarity of the video. No offence intended by my comments it’s just that a lot of DIYers watch your videos and gives them the idea it’s okay which is not safe.
As I said brilliant video and I’ve subscribed and will watch all your videos soon without making safety comments lol
I’m in Australia but from England and there was an article in the papers once where a guy bought a chop/drop saw and proceeded to cross his hands over and actually CUT HIS HAND OFF. TRUE STORY
Can you do a video on your outfeed table?!!
I’ve already built it! What kind of video do you suggest?
@@eastcarolinawoodworks Maybe a detailed view of it showing how it’s layed out and any tips or ideas on building one!! I need to build one for my Harvey saw but still hunting ideas!!
Out of curiosity did you go with 1.5” or 1.75” for the thickness?
The butcher block I bought was 1.75” thick 👍🏻
27:39 Cockroach cameo appearance 🪳
Do you have any issues with stability/racking?
On this workbench?
@@eastcarolinawoodworks yes this workbench. Side to side movement lenghtways.
Why do you use the Rubin sandpaper and not the granat?
Little cheaper and works great for me. I can’t really tell much of a difference 👍🏻
You could always use more clamps...
Why did you leave the large center area in the bench without dog holes, I would think they would be necessary, at least around the whole perimeter, thx
I can always add more if I need but I haven’t really found the need just yet! I like a little surface area without holes 👍🏻
@@eastcarolinawoodworks Thx, just figured I'd you were using it for assembly of panels or ? You would need them? But I can see the need for flat areas as well
No expert but looked to me like you were attaching the tape to the stretcher and then CA glueing the block to the tape so when you apply clamp pressure you are simply relying on the strength of the tape glue bond which is not going to hold well at all. Hell maybe I missed something. Anyway great video. Always thorougly enjoy your posts.
It the tape
Blue or yellow is the answer
Awesome video! But what in all God's creation is that behemoth crawling on the floor behind you @27:40 ???
Did anyone else see that bug 27:40? 🤣
Is that too birtch or hevea from Lowe’s where’s part 😊
It’s Birch from Lowes!
Is part 2 available yet
@@pashkal5727 coming very soon!
😎👍🏼
27:40 - KILL THAT COCKROACH!! Great video. New sub.
Lol it wasn’t a cockroach it was an alien!
Sorry more comments, casters some locking ones cos that baby’s gonna be hard to move if you need too. Stretcher plates to fix base to top cos any expansion is gonna split the top, even more so with if it’s re engineered timber. Using the domino do 500 for this is scary, tenons not long enough, unfortunately you need to use ds700 in my humble opinion more so cos there’s no casters fitted. I’m only trying to be helpful
I like how this is turning out…but 32min of the same song playing over and over and over is a bit much. Looking forward to the next one
I’ll keep that in mind moving forward 👍🏻
Glad you lost the bourbon moth silly sh*t enjoy your vids much more now . That being said I still watch bourbon moth because he is good at cabinetry
@27:40 What the heck crawled across the shop floor? lol
I wish I knew what it’s called lol it’s some kind of hybrid bug I just kept kicking around my shop 🤷🏻♂️
My man, you actually didn’t need to glue down those small blocks used as calls……couldn’t you have just set the “calls”/blocks a few inches lower and placed them directly on the rails you were gluing up? …..and if the thin strip of the stretcher/rail is too narrow to rest them on, then use those badass HARBFRT clamps to hold them in place (Ive got a TON of those $2 grey beasts all over my shop!! lol)
No criticism intended here, I’m a TRASH woodworker, def not as accomplished as a pro like you, & I’m a big fan.
Great video, all the best brother! 👊🏼
👍🔨📐
I’m commenting early in the video, so maybe this gets addressed… top looks cupped out of the packaging. Is it or is that the camera?
It had a slight cup but once I screwed it down to the base it flattened right out 👍🏻
The CA glue/Tape method didn't work because you were putting a shearing force laterally across the tape instead of down on the tape. That method will never work, the tape will eventually let go without a clamp.
I’ve seen others do it and they say it works but who knows…I was always skeptical but thanks for the info 👍🏻
you spend the money on tools but dropped done hints along the way that tells me you’re not a woodworker.
what do you do for work?
Don’t understand what your saying? I build custom cabinets for homes. From kitchens to built ins and everything in between 👍🏻
Why buy a Domino at this point, the patent is about to expire in the next year and there should be similar devices coming to market at a lower price.
I kept picturing you running your hand through the table saw with that technique! Pls be careful!!!
You have a wife?? AND a workshop??? Damn! How do you afford to eat? LOL!!
Not sure I would consider this an "easy" build. Sure, if you are a pro but not if you are a beginner and need a workbench.
WAIT!!! You bought a pre-made table top?? . . . .FAIL!!! LOL!!
Editing needs work.
How does it feel to steal another creators concept and pretend it’s yours?
What are the dimensions of the butcher block top? It looks like it’s 2” thick but our Lowe’s only sells them 1.5” thick.
I still catch the look every time I add a couple of clamps to the pile.
Plans available yet?
