    While I'm not a "Safety Sally" I'd like to mention that there probably should have been a feather board or two used on the 2 x 4" side piece dado work? Quick and easy to make and having owned and used my Shopsmith for many years I know that I would be using them - especially on awkward, tall, end grain work.

    • @IceManTX69
      @IceManTX69  9 місяців тому

      Yes, you are correct! I have the plastic SS feather board and I should have definitely been using it. I had got the SS from my mom and only had it for a brief time when I made this video. Learned a lot of lessons in the beginning the hard way and luckily I still have all my fingers. I did some stupid and shady things.....

    When you make the bottom bar you should cut the notches before you rip the boards into strips. Same with the dados on the bottom of the top bars.

  • @tonykillingsworth9247
    @tonykillingsworth9247 3 роки тому +1

    If you work off the center of the board you can use the small stack dado for both size cuts ....before you slice them lay them flat on your jointer and take off 3/16 off both sides then slice them.!!! This will save you alot of time and extra work

  • @valentinalexandru8890
    @valentinalexandru8890 8 років тому +2

    hello and thanks for the video! I also made frames and yes, it takes forever... I have a tip for you for making sides : cut the lumber so you have two sides in length , the middle being the top bar. then cut in your jointer the extra wood(the glue sticks) , make the bottom groove, cut them in half, make the top groove and then cut them individually.

  • @nealcox8204
    @nealcox8204 2 роки тому +1

    Question: Could you not cut the cut away parts from the bottom of the side bars while they are still in the 2x4 mode and then cut the side bars apart after to avoid hand cutting every little cut away part on each one?

    was just wondering why you are not using the clamp on your jig to hold the piece in place while you make the cut. is it broken or maybe it does not hold the piece properly. got to be a firmer grip than your hand bro.

    • @IceManTX69

    Greetings from East Texas! Just watching this, it looks as if you had done a few processes in a slightly different order, you could have saved yourself a LOT of work, although you would have missed out on making all those wonderful glue sticks! ;) Thanks very much for making this video, and thanks a bunch for the warning about kickback on the tablesaw. I just acquired one, and it's nice to know some of the dangers to watch out for!

      Hey, fellow Texan! Yes, I've seen a lot of coulda/shoulda when I go back and watch this. Still using those glue sticks though..probably last me the rest of my life. Table saw kick back is the worst. I hate it. I'm a bandsaw guy when possible. Table saw threw a piece of wood one time (when I was new) and it bounced off my shop walls several times before coming to rest. I didn't like that. lol

    @airwolf61970 6 років тому +4

    Nice shop smith!
    I've never made a frame from scratch but a think alot of those little cuts could be done easier and faster if you would make them on the big board before you release all the parts from the board. Instead of 200 little cuts per cut you could Do 20.
    Have you made anymore frames?
    I'd love to hear and possibly see what you've learned.
    Like: what cuts are most efficient on the board?
    And what cut has to be made as a individual part?

    • @IceManTX69
      @IceManTX69  2 роки тому

      These specifications are for a Langstroth hive and that is the dimensions. You do not want any extra open space in the box so the frames need to match the box size. I've seen all types of hives and you can make them smaller.

    Great video! I have a process improvement suggestion. If you use your table saw to cut all the bottom tapers on the entire block before you slice them, you will save alot of time and the table saw will remove all the wood. This process will eliminate the cutting and trimming of the tapers. That would save alot of wear on your scroll saw. I'm not trying to criticize just suggest. I'm a systems engineer, so I spend every day trying to remove a few seconds out of a process.

      to visualize how, just arrange the final pieces as if you would like to glue them to recreate the original board. And then see which common surface can be cut in one go, before splitting into pieces. I think the cuts shown at 29:32 could be made in one go, before splitting into pieces.

    you drew arrows to prevent the mistake you made, but when you cut them up, you lost your arrows.( I had to laugh), but like your video and how you show your mistakes. you rock.
    To make things go faster, why not use a dado blade and cut that 1/8" off, before you rip all the pieces. just run the face sideways on a table saw with a dado installed. it will take a few passes, but will be a lot faster than all that band saw work.
