    Great video as usual John, but just a tip! A commercial shop like yours should have a 10ft sliding table saw, you would’ve had no problems with the joint! I just glued a 4x8” hardwood countertop and I edge-jointed my boards with the slider. A breeze!

  • @monut211

    If you want to joint 2 boards with the track saw you need to get them together and cut them on the same time on the joint gap line, I've done that a lot and it works very well.

    I have said this only like 10 videos now, you use the jointer incorrectly, that's why it didn't work. Look at the outfeed table at 7:03, there is a big gap there. You always put your weight and pressure on the infeed table and that's not correct. All that does is transfer the existing inaccuracies through. It doesn't matter if the piece is even touching the infeed table after you start the joint, the only thing that is important is that the piece is solidly contacting the outfeed table. Watch parillaworks if you want to see how to correctly use a jointer.

    • @rmr5044
      @rmr5044 2 роки тому

      you're right! When I use a jointer, the ONLY time where my hands are even above the infeed table is at the very beginning. As soon as even a tiny amount of the workpiece has made it to the outfeed table, I immediately shift all my energy to hold the piece down to the outfeed table and into the back fence. To keep feeding the workpiece through the jointer, I push it only from the outfeed table outward.

    • @jeffheinzman1612
      @jeffheinzman1612 2 роки тому +1

      Came here to say this. As soon as the piece passes over the blades of the jointer, you need to bear down on the out feed table to let the jointer do its jointery thing correctly

    If you joint by hand on a piece like that, use a #7 or #8 jointer plane for final jointing; more consistent in eliminating small dips or variations. Any variations left over and that smaller plane will follow them. Then use a #3 or #4 for you finishing passes- eliminates a lot of sanding.

    I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake but I missed the "HUGE" mistake! I wouldn't consider losing four hours labour on re-cutting a $10,000.00 table a "HUGE" mistake. A "HUGE" mistake would be it falling off the forklift on the way next door, or cutting through from the bottom to the top when mortising for the C channel, or any other of a number of scenarios. This re-cutting is nothing more than a minor inconvenience...it's the cost of doing business. I'm calling click-bait on this vid!!!

      Losing a dozen or more hours on a project could be a huge mistake if the mistake was made by an employee or hired help, costing the business hundreds of dollars. But when the owner is the one making the mistake then it literally costs nothing because your income is relative. You already invest money into a business in order to increase your ability to be profitable, and so any kind of trial and error scenario is just one more investment of time, but not money. People would say that the “opportunity cost” means he could have spent those hours on another paid project and therefore is lost money, but I think you have to believe in the idea that the time investment (of learning from a mistake) is worth more than the money you could have made working on something else.

    Amazing work and overcoming the hiccups! Found your channel yesterday and have been loving the content.
    For the Rubio finish, one thing I picked up watching Cam at Blacktail is how particular you have to be if you're going to put a second coat on (apparently the mfg isn't super keen on this), sanding it down after the first coat, then hand applying the second coat before wiping off and applying a ceramic finish over (iirc this is more for high gloss and protection). Not sure if that had anything to do with the streaking issue you didn't like, but it may be worth some testing.

    To joint the slabs perfectly. Put them back on the cnc and space them apart slightly less than the diameter of your bit. for example 1/2 bit leave 3/8 gap. then cut them at same time if you dont have a bit long enough go as deep as possible and then flush trim from the back side. The bottom doesnt really matter but at least the top side will be mirror cut
