Been waiting for you to do a video with a planer. Thanks! Have you considered asking a trade school or community college that has skilled trade classes to sponsor your videos? Reason I ask is during your last video you mentioned working in the electrical field during your college days. I worked in plumbing, heating, and general construction during mine. A small amount of electrical knowledge was picked up along with them. All that training and experience during those few years has helped me greatly ever since. You're doing a good thing showing the next generation how to work in a skilled trade. Have a great week.
I have found that ALL home plumbing jobs require 3 trips to the hardware store. This is an inviable rule. The closest I’ve ever come to completing a job in fewer than 3 trips is when I’ve reached my car in the store’s parking lot and realized I’d forgotten something; but, you must reach the car for the turnaround to count as a “trip”. For some reason, getting part way to the car, snapping your fingers when you realize something else is needed, and going back for it does NOT count with the Karmic gods who govern these things!
As a master electrician I probably would have done the lights a little different but they are working, so great! I would council to make sure you adequately ground that flex tubing on the dust collector. Dust can be explosive and static electricity is not your friend. Love the videos 😁
I have found no proof there has ever been an explosion caused by the static. The wire will help the flow-rate of air through the flex by reducing the static. I have done extensive research into the static issues. PVC and Flex.
@@billboy7390 I agree with the electrician. Guess your research missed the grain and polymer dust explosions caused by static, prior to the1990's. Wood shop dust is usually larger particles and does not flash, but if fines build up in duct work, they can. I worked in safety/loss investigation for 35 years for insurance and industrial corporations and investigated probably a dozen cases of dust explosions caused by static. Several of the cases leveled large buildings and cause loss of life. Since then, corporations have done a better job of grounding to reduce static. Also manufactures of plastic tubing have found ways to add materials to the plastic to help it conduct current.
@@davidgolightly3416 Thank you for the info, I am only speaking of saw/wood dust. I am putting in PVC pipe in my new workshop and it probably won't add that much work to add a wire inside the pipe and ground to the machines. I want to use metal ducting but just too much money.
@@billboy7390 I do not know if they still make flex tubing with metal wire as the coil (Nathan' appears to be plastic) but if you connect that wire to the end points it should dissipate the static. Otherwise, a thin bare wire through the tube should do hope this helps.
Agree with rockelec. OSHA has put in place a number of regulations due to explosions and fires. And the static charge is enough to light your eyes up...do a dance and make you say things a lot stronger than "my goodness". Also be careful about throttling the inlet flow to the centrifugal fan too much, it will affect the discharge flow. Love the machines, and the room...sooo jeolous!
Nathan, as someone who owns a bigger molder, I saw one thing you may want to change. On your dust collection out put, you have the flex hose and then a reducer to solid pipe. Two things, get rid of the flex hose and go solid the whole way and don't reduce the diameter. It adds back pressure which reduces suction. You will possibly get something we call chip recirculation which looks like little dents in the finish surface. You need as much suction as you can get when it comes to these beasts. By the way my molder is also a Woodmizer but it's way older, a 4020X5, which they don't make anymore. Wish they did! You will be amazed at what these things can do for you and your business!
Agree with the reducer concern. Air in vs air out is always important to dc. The dc in my shop uses all metal and it greatly reduces the turbulence on the airflow. Good vid. Hope to see more details on the molder.
@@williamsmith3960 Here is a video I did on my molder. They only made them for a few years, most likely imported with Woodmizer markings as everything on it is metric. My machine is a year 2006 model. ua-cam.com/video/nO-14pROOJo/v-deo.html
The more I learn about you the more I like, former Police Officer, former Electrician and someone who knows how to work with wood and mill some logs and I like your Cats. Enjoying watching you complete that building to your own liking! Yours is still one of the most enjoyable channels I look forward to watching, keep em coming.
Nathan I've been watching you for awhile now and there's something about watching a red blooded American working and enjoying the work they're doing that is so satisfying ad I can't even read a tape measure and I'm the same age as you lol keep up the good work and blessings to you and your family
Love that laser can also be used to hang kitchen cabinets. Oh yes, dry wall also. And…… on and on. The shaper is money in the bank. Wait until you start grinding your own profiles. Lastly, finally a UA-cam person that I can understand. God bless your beautiful work.
One tip, make sure to keep extra parts on hand. We've had belts, set screws, the width adjustment handle connection, and the black piece on the spindle that holds the knives break. Also just had a pully for the bottom knives break. Sometimes it takes several weeks to get parts from WM because they still come from Germany. The pully is at close to 5 weeks already and we dont have am ETA yet. We've run around 25K bd ft through this one - mostly black locust and hickory flooring and maple tng for ceilings. It's a great machine when it's operational, congrats on adding it to your operation!
I have a small shop out back of my home where I do custom woodworking. I bought a 3D printer a couple years ago. All those things you need a special adapter for or you need to replace a knob. Have saved so much time making what I need instead of ordering it ( if I could even find what I was looking for).
having open/close valves for your tools to focus the Dust Collector will make it much better to help make all the suction focus on the tool your working on. also solid pipes like PVC will also help. i learned about that bit from Adam Savage UA-cam video about when he upgraded his Dust Collection.
Always the same when you are trying to get something done, you try hard to have everything at hand to do the job & other things keep popping up. Nice job all round in the end Nathan. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Just a suggestion from one woodworker to another. You should try using Bostik Glidecoat on your infeed and outfeed tables to help reduce build up and Bladecoat on your cutting heads
We use Waylube or Slideway Oil for our moulders and double sided planers. I think the guys in the shop are using it now to. Its basically hydraulic fluid with a Teflon added so it does not stick to the wood. You get might get some on the product on the first pass but not to bad. We get ours in 55 gal. but I think a 5 gallon bucket was like $50 put it in a spray bottle and done.
Two things I have learned from watching your channel #1 you better have some associated skills to run a saw mill or that grand idea you had and the mill you just bought will sit where ever untill you sell it and #2 people have an opinion on everything people do weather it is a criticism or a helpfull suggestion sometimes it's good to just listen. Yep 76 and still learning. Thank you for sharing your journey
My dreams of having a true shop one day are being crushed by your set-up Nathan....obviously, your passion for how wood can enrich our lives, not just monetarily, but by the natural beauty it provides is a tribute to your character and dedication to the craft...again, thanks for sharing your journey and only wish I lived closer so I could visit and see these treasures up close...Happy New Year and be well!!!
While I watch you for many years you were starting something like a town but every building you make you make it functional with tools and that's awesome brother
That machine is going to be a massive addition to your business, very impressive...plus I have those same LED lights both in my shop 24x40 where I have 8 lights and in a 8x12 build shed where I have 2 lights end to end and I have yet to be sorry I bought them...thanks for sharing your day
I'm impressed! Just one more step up the ladder. It's so great to have someone look at a project and be able to tell them that the first time you saw that wood it was growing (needles) (leaves). Although most of the wood anymore is in logs or trees that are dead, diseased, defective, have to be removed for some reason, or just plain ugly. There is so much going to waste that there is hardly a reason to cut a living tree, although good forest practices say we need to in order to keep the forests healthy.
I put LED lights in my little shop. I had planned on putting up six interconnected, but at the moment, three is sufficient. I'll probably have to put up one more come summer as one light will be covered by the garage door when It's open. I got mine from Costco and they are motions sensitive. Really handy if the switch has to be placed away from the door. They have a remote so I can fine tune the settings for sensitivity to come on and the delay for them to go off when activity ceases. They are very bright as well.
Must be very satisfying for you Nathan after all the hours you have put in to see that lumber go through the moulder for the 1st time. I'm more of a turner these days even though I have a diploma in fine woodworking/cabinetmaking and absolutely love wood with 'defects' in the wood. Looking forward to see you making some shiplap, trim, flooring, etc with the moulder.
What a beautiful piece of Walnut. The molder works great. Thanks for what you do, Happy New Year and God Bless you Sir. John here, from Northeastern Tennessee (Just down the road a piece).
A very nice setup that is finally working. One caution is the exhaust hose on your blower. If you watch this video closely you will notice movement in your discharge hose as the blower come up to speed. Those hanger straps will eventually wear thru the plastic of the hose. I'd suggest carpet scraps or cloth towel scraps be placed between the hose and straps. You can thank me later...LOL
*- Nathan, **4:27**, since I always wore a carpenter's pouch and hammer, with whatever tools I needed, I would have just taken out a 16 penny nail, hammered it in a bit on the mark, pulled it out, set/pushed the screw and fitting into place, and screwed it in.* *- Like you, I tend to want to "take hostages" when aggravated, so the nail trick stopped lots of @hit.*
Nate, I installed ten of those lights in my garage/shop and they really made a nice difference! However... after about 12 months six of the lights were dead and I had to replace them. Be on the look out for them to fail.
I have 8 in my workshop, 8 in the basement and 8 in the garage. I love them! However, as previously mentioned, watch for them to start going out. I've only had problems with the ones in the garage. I had to replace 7 of the 8. Easy warranty replacement tho... but would definitely buy again!
Looks good! What do you plan to do with it? Make custom molding's for renovation/restoration market? Enjoy watching logs become boards and more. Just an observation/suggestion. Although you are likely done with any dust collection clamps for now. If you have a 4 in 1 or 6 in 1 screw driver if you pull the bit out you have a hex driver that slips right on the hex of the clamp screw. Usually 5/16" on one end and 1/4" on the other. I've never liked a straight screw driver in that process. So easy to slip off. Keep up the great work and hope you have a fabulous 2022.
Those lasers are the most phenomenal tool to make sure you're on a stud, joist, or just parallel with your lines. Highly recommend any DIY person gets one.
I needed some reducers and a two into one manifold and they did not have then in stock at the store so I 3D printed them in PETG, they cost me a fraction of the purchase price and they work just fine
Not what you were doing wrong, but the same thing with screws falling bit me on my last project a few times when I used the drill without it on. What I have found helps is if you get one of those magnetic quick change bit holders (assuming it works with your bit you need) and then the bit is held to the screw with some of the magnet force holding the bit in place and the screws fall less. That moulder and dust collector setup looks really cool.
One of the features I was looking at was the different knives they offer for molding. There was to companies, both in Missouri I believe that made these. One of them actually had their factory set up underground in a cave. The one you got I think 💭.
Really nice machine, Nathan! Sweet! Hey, I don't know if you know it or not but, they make Bridge Hose Clamps for spiral hoses. You're probably fine. Just letting you know IF you didn't already. They make them Left and Right handed bridge clamps. Thanks for the great video! *Add Edit: Dewalt makes a magnetic driver tip accessory and I'm tellin' ya, you can't sling a screw off of it - it holds them tight!*
Can you tell us how the exit from the dust removal works? See you have a metal pipe going out the far end, how do you collect it outside? Beautiful piece of wood you have at the end, looks just sweet.
Clicked the link on the moulder in the description. I was trying to guess how much it cost while I was waiting for the page to load. My guess was waaay low. 🙂
OK a suggestion on the screws in the US you use phillips screws or star screws which are an absolute pain. In Canada we use a Robertson or square slot once you put the screw in the driver it rarely falls out. Do yourself a favour and order some you’ll never use a phillips again. They come in all sizes and lengths and you can actually take them out again without stripping the screw.
I don't know about anybody else but I love the wormy wood ! I made two nightstands from wormy burr oak about 20 years ago for our cabin. Great setup you have Nathan.
Why didn't you put the dust collector outside? It would cut down on the noise. Simple lean-to to keep it out of the weather. Also gives you more floor space.
No mention in the title of dust collection machine ,fitting lights and no mention in the video of money making moulder (shown but not mentioned or identified)
Just watched, liked, already subscribed, but no idea what a moulder machine is for. Nevermind, I just followed the link and read about it. Thanks for vid!
Yeah, just looked at a guy has his whole shop running on one collector. It was amazing how much he was running and it all worked. I would be looking at insulation especially where you are at. Summer probably gets pretty warm there, just saying.
Get a magnetic shaft to hold your screw in place while you drive in the screw. These are common place in the drywall industry we go through thousands of these shots a year. They come in various lengths from standard 2 inches up to 12 inches.
4:40 "Somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong." Just looked like poor ladder placement to me, giving a bad wrist angle. Also, making starter holes with a gimlet or a drill before installing the clips usually gets the screw in on the first try. A small investment of time at first often saves a lot more time later on. I also switched from Phillips-head to TORX-drive screws. Better grip on the bit and fewer split ends on boards.
OK this comment is after the video. Awesome buddy that is sweet. Can't remember I may have said the same thing in the beginning😂😂🤟🏽 I'll have to come see it in action sometime this year. Got to make me a place in the shop somewhere for one!! So much you can get done with that, we got to give Corey some competition😳😂 Rock on brother talk to you soon
Very nice! It's cool to see you have the ability to buy nice equipment, but I've never seen a woodshop or cabinet shop use flex tubes. I've only seen metal tubing going straight up and over to the vacuum system. I've also seen the vacuum system extend to the floor (hinged door) for an easy place to sweep sawdust at the end of the day. I hope the flexible stuff works for you! Keep the videos coming!
Anyone care to share what kind of LED lights those are? Maybe a part number or where to get them? I'm specifically interested in the mounting brackets. Thanks!
Just curious about something. When you were running the walnut through the 4s planer, what were the dark stripes we were seeing on the wood? Is it just my imagination?
So maybe it's just me but I'm confused as what this machine is doing other than squaring the side of each board is that right or is it plaining aswell if it's not would it not of been better with a large table saw and sled?? 🏴👍
Great video! I read some of the comments and there are some good suggestions. The static electricity ground is always a good move, dust collectors are bad for that. The lighting is awesome. And processing S4S hardwood and custom lumber is a niche market that sadly is getting harder to find, so I'd say with a little advertising, your business will be booming! Great work! I look forward to seeing you grow in this business!

Money maker, scrap maker. 🤷♂️
Glad to know I'm not the only one who has to make at least 2 trips to the hardware store to complete what should be a simple task. Love your videos!
Two? That’s impressive.
I have found that ALL home plumbing jobs require 3 trips to the hardware store. This is an inviable rule.
The closest I’ve ever come to completing a job in fewer than 3 trips is when I’ve reached my car in the store’s parking lot and realized I’d forgotten something; but, you must reach the car for the turnaround to count as a “trip”. For some reason, getting part way to the car, snapping your fingers when you realize something else is needed, and going back for it does NOT count with the Karmic gods who govern these things!

@@moldings_etc Thank you for your response i have a small planer moulder sander rip saw made by woodmaster made by timberking but it just does 1 side
If those are metal bands holding up the flex vent, I would suggest padding them so vibration does not cut the tubing.

One tip, make sure to keep extra parts on hand. We've had belts, set screws, the width adjustment handle connection, and the black piece on the spindle that holds the knives break.

This was the same as the Logosol planer moulder. If I remember correctly WoodMizer bought the factory (#2) from Logosol in Poland…
hello friends, greetings healthy and always successful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and always faithfully watching your latest stuff. ......
Yeeeeee brother, killing it, keep up the good work! And don’t worry, I go to Lowe’s at least 3 times a day, then Hughes Lumber every morning.
I bought those same lights. They started going out/flashing within a year. Hope yours are better.
Not what you were doing wrong, but the same thing with screws falling bit me on my last project a few times when I used the drill without it on.

I'm about to pull all the T5 lights from my 1000sq ft shop and replace with LEDs.
Really nice machine, Nathan! Sweet! Hey, I don't know if you know it or not but, they make Bridge Hose Clamps for spiral hoses. You're probably fine. Just letting you know IF you didn't already. They make them Left and Right handed bridge clamps. Thanks for the great video! *Add Edit: Dewalt makes a magnetic driver tip accessory and I'm tellin' ya, you can't sling a screw off of it - it holds them tight!*
Good to see that room finally put to use. Where is your hearing protection!
You need an awl to make starter holes for screws
Gee i reckon you’ll have a lot of fun with your new molder! Not to mention value add to your business, way to go Nathan 👍🏻
Can you tell us how the exit from the dust removal works? See you have a metal pipe going out the far end, how do you collect it outside? Beautiful piece of wood you have at the end, looks just sweet.
Clicked the link on the moulder in the description. I was trying to guess how much it cost while I was waiting for the page to load. My guess was waaay low. 🙂
Man! You're all downtown now...nice set up :)
That is sweet. Doesn’t look like you get much snipe. Enjoy.
So it's like a horizontal jointer that has different shaped blades, like for making tongue & groove ?
Fine looking piece of lumber out of the planner\shaper. very nice.
Beautiful drone shots! Looks like that setup will save much time to get the wood ready for projects!
OK a suggestion on the screws in the US you use phillips screws or star screws which are an absolute pain. In Canada we use a Robertson or square slot once you put the screw in the driver it rarely falls out. Do yourself a favour and order some you’ll never use a phillips again. They come in all sizes and lengths and you can actually take them out again without stripping the screw.
Beautiful slab. I am so glad l am not the only one who gets back from the lumberyard and then has to go back.
Thanks buddy
Nathan I really enjoy watching your videos very informative.
I don't know about anybody else but I love the wormy wood ! I made two nightstands from wormy burr oak about 20 years ago for our cabin. Great setup you have Nathan.
Please do more videos and your opinion on it. I’m looking to purchase this.
Why didn't you put the dust collector outside? It would cut down on the noise. Simple lean-to to keep it out of the weather. Also gives you more floor space.
No mention in the title of dust collection machine ,fitting lights and no mention in the video of money making moulder (shown but not mentioned or identified)
Just watched, liked, already subscribed, but no idea what a moulder machine is for. Nevermind, I just followed the link and read about it. Thanks for vid!
Good looking board Nathan, I was waiting for you to throw a bucket of water on it. LOL
LMAO...you saved me from typing this same comment !!
👍🏼👍🏼. Like those lights. Might have make trip to store
Yeah, just looked at a guy has his whole shop running on one collector. It was amazing how much he was running and it all worked. I would be looking at insulation especially where you are at. Summer probably gets pretty warm there, just saying.
Gorgeous end results.
You need Robertson screws or as I've seen them called in the US of A square Drive screws.
Get a magnetic shaft to hold your screw in place while you drive in the screw. These are common place in the drywall industry we go through thousands of these shots a year. They come in various lengths from standard 2 inches up to 12 inches.
4:40 "Somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong." Just looked like poor ladder placement to me, giving a bad wrist angle. Also, making starter holes with a gimlet or a drill before installing the clips usually gets the screw in on the first try. A small investment of time at first often saves a lot more time later on. I also switched from Phillips-head to TORX-drive screws. Better grip on the bit and fewer split ends on boards.
Same hand hold the drill backwards... u asked for it! Looks awesome, and juicy
Where are you at in Tennessee? I'm in Knoxville, and I'd like to come check out your shop setup.
Wow. That's really nice.
OK this comment is after the video. Awesome buddy that is sweet. Can't remember I may have said the same thing in the beginning😂😂🤟🏽 I'll have to come see it in action sometime this year. Got to make me a place in the shop somewhere for one!! So much you can get done with that, we got to give Corey some competition😳😂 Rock on brother talk to you soon
Really impressed with that, well done
Very nice! It's cool to see you have the ability to buy nice equipment, but I've never seen a woodshop or cabinet shop use flex tubes. I've only seen metal tubing going straight up and over to the vacuum system. I've also seen the vacuum system extend to the floor (hinged door) for an easy place to sweep sawdust at the end of the day. I hope the flexible stuff works for you! Keep the videos coming!
The complexity of a job should be rated in Home Depot / Lowes trips
yes
Exactly. I heard a guy ahead of me Home Depot one time that "this is a 4 tripper".
I put those exact same lights in my shop, they work great
Agreed
Anyone care to share what kind of LED lights those are? Maybe a part number or where to get them? I'm specifically interested in the mounting brackets. Thanks!
Mine are Kihung fxg 4ft 8p6h, I found while searching for lighting, ordered 1 to check it out, then ordered 20 more after I tried it
Just curious about something. When you were running the walnut through the 4s planer, what were the dark stripes we were seeing on the wood? Is it just my imagination?
Shadows from the planer.
So maybe it's just me but I'm confused as what this machine is doing other than squaring the side of each board is that right or is it plaining aswell if it's not would it not of been better with a large table saw and sled?? 🏴👍
You sure do find ways to shed light on your subjects.
did it joint and plan at the same time (top and bottom side?) thanks
also looks pretty flawless
I bought those exact same lights for my shop! They’re excellent and I struggled just like you did with the brackets! :-)
Yes they are!
Hi Nathan, new subscriber here! I really enjoyed this video! Congrats on the new molder setup and Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Those are nice and slimline lights
Fantastic machine but How can I get one for my shop in Papua New,Port Moresby
Great video! I read some of the comments and there are some good suggestions. The static electricity ground is always a good move, dust collectors are bad for that. The lighting is awesome. And processing S4S hardwood and custom lumber is a niche market that sadly is getting harder to find, so I'd say with a little advertising, your business will be booming! Great work! I look forward to seeing you grow in this business!
Looks like Woodmizer hit a home run with this mill. I'd sure like to see it do some tongue and groove next.
Soon
I had a feeling you had that in the works. I'm looking forward to that one.
A friend of mine has been looking for a fireplace mantle, any suggestions?
think I saw a woodchuck scurry by at around the 6:18 mark! :-)
