Please please please take a look at some videos to learn how to set up and use a small table saw properly. NEVER run a piece of wood end-grain on the fence, you'll learn the hard way that it catches the wood and throws it out at high velocity. If it catches you, it'll hurt. The mis-measurement is a function of how well you adjust and set the saw up, even very expensive saws need a lot of set up before you start using them. Watch some videos, learn all you can. A table saw is possibly the most lethal power tool after a chainsaw, because things can go wrong very quickly. Love the channel, my wife and I watch every full episode, and we don't want to see you lose a finger or an eye :-)
As Scott is the Uberislenfuhrer, surely the cabin is THE EAGLE'S NEST! 😉
I think “HQ” would be perfect for your office. Short and sweet… your headquarters. 😁. .. Glad the floor situation got sorted too!
Oh Katie, what a loving soul you are! One day, that caterpillar you so gently relocated with such care, will come back to you as a butterfly and sit on your shoulder in gratitude 🙏🏼🙏🏼🦋🦋
The Sea Shanty or Scott's Sea Shanty
You two are always lovely with your babies 🥰 xxx
You need to use the guide!! If you don't, the wood your cutting will shift, and the blade will kick the wood back at you. You could get hurt. Just measure and mark your board!!!!! Be safe❤
If you cut large boards like plywood or OSB, use a skillsaw
Hi.. On the health of your Stihl trimmer. It appears the cutting head is turning while you are trying to start, this indicates the clutch is not disengaging. The usual cause is corrosion on the clutch shoe pivot bushing. Rotating the mass of the drive line as well as the motor makes for harder starting.
Also, the way it doesn't accelerate may be caused by a blocked exhaust screen. This can be removed and cleaned by burning or scraping off the carbon deposits.
I am a Stihl mechanic in rural Western Australia, so direct assistance is sadly not possible.
All the best to you and keep the great content coming 😁
Thanks! I cleaned the air filter and it did start, but as you said the clutch is bejiggered. I've booked it in for a service. ☺
I'm so relieved, I really felt for you guys with discovering the damp issue.
Theres some wonderful people out there that are willing to help 😊
Keep smiling all be good 😊
I am so relieved. I did however knew it could be resolved. Looking forward to the vlog to hear all about it Katie and Scot. I was so sorry for you both in the last episode and to see Katie and Scot smile again. Have a lovely day.
Can you dig down on the outside of the cottage and put a vapor barrier up and French drain as well as tanking the inside? Name Endurance.
Brilliant! Felt so bad for you in the last episode x
Hearing the sea birds call, so lovely
Thank you who gifted the saw😊
So happy that there is a solution to your problem with the dampness in your home! ❤️🇨🇦
It’s wonderful that you found a solution. Your place gets prettier and prettier and those wildflowers are lovely.
Completely enjoy your channel
Just a couple of tips with your tablesaw keep the blade only up about half inch from the top of your material. It’s much safer.
And you can adjust the marker on the fence . you adjust that to the correct measurement so you can use the material guide
Hope this will help you ❤
I am so glad that you guys were able find a solution to the damp issue!
Thank you. Love the natural scenes.
Your guide is called a push stick. Is the blade adjustable vertically? If so you should lower it so that the teeth just clear the wood when cutting, that will help you retain fingers.
Congratulations on finding the solution! The flags will be beautiful!
Clearly, she trusts you, but then her patience runs out.😂 ❤
How about calling the bunker Beorn’s Bothy. Dictionary definition fits well. BOTHY - Dictionary
Definitions from Oxford Languages ·
(in Scotland) a small hut or cottage, especially one for housing farm labourers or for use as a mountain refuge. HUT, LABOURER AND REFUGE. That sounds like a man shed!!
Great news to hear that you’ve settled on a solution to the damp floor issue, it’s a tough job you have there and only natural that it gets on top of you at times x
Again, Katie, Scott - phenomenal photography. The skies at around 7:55 are Turneresque in their splendour and evidence a developing artistic eye for colour and composition. Beyond that, you've really mastered the art of using depth of field to capture fine focus on the close-up details. Simply stunning.
Thank you for your kind words.
Don’t throw away fence for table saw. Just measure between blade and fence or see if you can adjust width readout on saw.
wahoo!!!2 brilliant, motivated, animal loving folks such as yourselves always dig until the resolution is found!!! Congratulations!!!
So glad to hear you’ve got a solution to the damp!
The love shack😂
Great news,looking forward to watching you both later.
Beorn, please check the table saw instructions. Most fences on table saws are fitted to the right side of the blade. Hope it’s right. The guide can also be set. It’s part of the setting process when you build it. Best of luck, W
The table saw, Re adjust the rail guide. Set it up with a square & there should be screws to adjust it.
It needs the carb filter cleaning probably, some have little piece of sponge material that gets gunked.
I'm so glad you guys found a solution and your moods seem to be up a little from the last episode. Keep your heads up, you guys are doing a wonderful job!
Love the sounds of the sea gulls.
I have the same saw. If you are cross cutting, it would be better to use a cross cut saw or a chop saw. For cutting length width down, the saw will do the job but I find it needs a finer blade. The guide also tends to move and does need an additional brace and the guide extending. For long cutting you will need a guide. I'm sure you will be extra careful.
Stand slightly to the side of the wood, out of direct line of the work when using that saw. If something catches it can shoot straight back at you just like an arrow or crossbow bolt, with enough force to do real damage, like peirce your leg or belly. So many near misses amongst my family and carpenter friends...
That's great news, you must be so relieved. 😊😅
Ahh, trenching alongside outside would mess with the structure. That makes sense. Wouldn't be an option, though that'd be the most engineeringly type of fix. I hope the plan you have is a lasting and good way to go. Blessings to you.
I would call it the library, also I agree that the blade on the table saw should be kept at about half an inch higher then material being cut. The fence should be able to be adjusted to be right. Also a table saw is not the best tool for cross cuts. For the planks for the bridge I would use your chain saw. For the long shelves a circular saw or miter saw is best and safest.
You two are fun. And hard working.
Happy news!!...😊
The problem with the Strimmer could be because the Air Filter needs cleaning out. The air is having problems getting through. Clean the filter with petrol as this cleans it.
You live in paradise wi your sweet sweet sheep. ❤nd your beautiful surroundings. So quiet and peaceful, I hope will manage to tackle that leak. We live in a medieval castle 🏰 in the Netherlands and we have discovered a huge leak in our basement under the house too. We have a lot of damp issues and a litttle river is streaming under the cellar to the moat. We wondered where that came from. Never a dull moment here.
Sounds amazing! Hope you get it sorted OK!
@@alilonghair7792 thank you😁
I also laughed ... Scott you can be so serious 😊😊
I enjoyed the caterpillars ride! Pleased to see you overcome your troubles. God bless.
Check the spark plug on the strimmer, they get gummed up.
Happy you found a solution to the damp issues…who reads instructions…not me..😂
had the same thing on my previous property with incoming thawing snow and insufficient faulty damp proofing by previous owner.Resolved by Tanking as you described it.
So glad you have a solution for the damp problem. You have some wonderful followers on here and it was lovely seeing how many people were trying to help. Your strimmer most probably just needs a good clean down and service, it’s certainly been working hard. X
That's a Stihl strimmer, they go 4ever.... Probably needs a service- ie the carburettor cleaned. Easy job, parts readily available for Stihl products. Search on UA-cam for how to do it. Best wishes 🤞
Yeah, or gummy fuel left over winter. Fouled spark plug. Blocked breather. Nothing a good service won't cure
Also, clean the air filter out, and sometimes if you take the fuel cap off and put it back on it helps, as there is some sort of air exchange built in it that if it clogs makes a vacuum enough that the fuel doesn't go onto the carbeurator. Cleaning is always a good thing. Those things run forever, and can take some abuse, I have one--love it!
@@TheOriginal_BigMac Came here to say that - all the symptoms of bad fuel or a gummed up filter that's all. Those Stihls are built for landscape operations running them 8 hours a day.
Are you sure the guide for the width on the timber is on the proper side, every guide In my workshop is on the right-hand side of the blade, not the left as you have it, you feed the timber so you use the push rod in your right hand.
I find it amazing that someone put chip board down on the floor!
Glad you managed to assemble the table saw with all that supervision.
Good thinking to test the saw before you do the bookshelf project! And I'm sure you remember the old carpenter's adage, "Measure twice, cut once." Katie, your prowess with the strimmer is impressive. But , why does that song "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK....." flit through my head when I see you in full regalia? And I'm so glad you can see your way forward with the mitigation of the damp in the house. It made my heart ache to see you so distraught. You know, of course, that the minute you solve the water problem, there will be a three year drought..... Best wishes to you!
Beorn's Hall. ❤❤❤ the mighty beorns home.
Yay I knew you'd find a way forward, think the old house was confirming it want's it's flagstones back. Interesting thinking that the original builders would have built it knowing that.
Glad to hear that everything is all righ❤t
That guide for pushing the lumber through the saw...in my house we have always called that a "pusher fish." Now you cannot unthink that word! Love your content. `
Im so happy for you that your damp problem in the house can be fixed. 😊❤
“Loch view “
Having to subscribe every time I view now no idea why
I wonder if you get a regular Kofi from me ❤😊
There are no problems just solutions. Great to see you not letting that floor beat you. As for the bunker Celtic Cave. Or just The Cave.
Scott please wear eye protection when cutting wood. ❤
There is a mineral/clay powder used to seal leaking ponds. It seeps into the cracks and then swells and seals the leaks. Bentonite, just looked it up. There will always be a puddle there but it could keep it out of the house.
That's a great idea for the puddle!!!! 🤯 Thank you! Kx
I'm so glad you found a solution for the damp!
I think the bunker should be called The Love Shack.
I will look at your wish list. I love wild flowers too
Thank you. If you're outwith the UK, you'll need to log out of your country's amazon and log in to amazon.co.uk in order to view the wishlist fully. Kx
Beautiful sky video and harp. Very relaxing after a busy day. I’ve been dehydrating roto chickens and have bones simmering for broth to can tomorrow.
I have some beef bones in the freezer - I'd love your recipe! Kx
My choice for the bunker name is “The sulking House “
Great news 😊
Your guide has an adjustable point of reference,that has to be set
I haven’t visited for a couple of weeks, I been away & have had much business …..did you miss me ?…. Good to be back 😊& ketchup with your doings ❤
grumpys grotto
hahaa....true
It is really great to see everyone just settling in. It is beginning to look like you have always lived on the island. Good luck with your ideas for the wood. Your natural environment is absolutely stunning!
The Eagles Nest.
I'm glad you're going to tank the walls, like I said in my last comment I did the inside and outside wall where the water was coming through the wall.i just used sandtex paint over it on the outside then vapour barrier on the inside followed by insulation.im going to tank a retaining wall in my garden to stop the water coming through to the path ,the product is that good.
Yes, I think we'll cement over where the puddle is (and beyond) and then tank the cement, too. Kx
We were wondering how old the two older sheep were? Fine job on the shearing Katie 😊❤
6 years old, both of them.
Aww thanks for letting us know. 😊
Just sent some wee gifts from the list, I hope it helps. I love this channel ❤
🥰 Aw, thank you so much! Kx
Well, thank you for the live heads-up on the cases, Scott - perfection is worth waiting for. 11:38
I’m so glad you found a solution. I really enjoy your episodes. I wish I was there. My Mother lived in Scotland when she was little. She came from Dublin when she was about 7in 1027. I really miss her presence and touch
So happy for you guys - you sound more positive
Call it the outhouse
The Green Dragon.
Possible names for the (cabin) moss manor, the whisky way inn, the wayfarer
A push stick
Glad you got a solution for the dampness. There's always a way.
Great news about the damp,
Katie looks like a gladiator with her stremming harness on with her boots
But then she is fearless😂. Nice to ser you both smiling!
The Celtic Cabin
So glad you found a fix for the damp problem.❤
Late but glad to be here😊
The circular saw, try switch the guide to the other side of the blade. May resolve the measurement issue?
As regards the cabin - how’s about ‘Hobbit House’.
❤see you next time!😊
The annex? The office? The studio? The library? I guess it depends on what you want to use the building for. I still think it looks most like a cabin :)
Glad you found a solution for the wet walls. That was so sad!!
Great news. ❤🙏
A chop saw is better than a bench saw to get the right-angled cuts with shelving.
🤣😂🤣😂 I love your sheep fence around the flowers💜🧡
So glad to hear water problem in house maybe worked out. Scott is a great guy, Katie a great gal. Perfect couple. Have a glorious day from Newfoundland.
The pirates den. ..... And you guy's need to get some tools like socket sets and an impact gun, these would really see ye right for small Jobs ❤❤
Name for the bunker- The Hermitage: a secluded residence or private retreat: hideaway
That's brilliant news.👍
