Ken, yet another great woodworking video and a use for yet more scrap wood. Nice project especially if you have little kids around or to donate to a good cause. Enjoyed the show and I’ll be back next week to see what’s next.
Thanks Paul. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the show again this week. It's a fun one to make and a great way to use up scraps. What does it do? Absolutely nothing but it was fun, none the less.
Another fun project Kenny. I'm glad you cleared that up about the chainsaw, I was taking my headphones off for 5 minutes thinking my phone was ringing. LOL
Ha h aha ha ha ha ha . That guy just wouldn't give it up. He just kept cutting and cutting but only when I was filming of course. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Brian.
I've made these grinders many times over the years. Here in Western Canada we refer to them as Bullsh!t grinders. They are useful when someone is full of it!
Thanks for the video Ken. I am wondering why you did not show how to safely cut the sliders on the table saw.I figured out a way but it took some time. Also, did you use a small jig to drill the caps? Finally, I would suggest using a sacrifice piece when routing to prevent tear out. Just a thought.
This project was quite a while ago Bill. I can't recall exactly how I cut the sliders but I know it took me a while to figure out a method to do it safely. The caps were drilled using the drill press fence and stop blocks so no jig was needed. It's always a good idea to use sacrificial backer boards when routing so your advice is well received. Thanks for tuning in Bill and for taking the time to chime in with your comments and thoughts.
A nice fun build and unusual as well. I'm stumped for a fun comment this week, must be the wifes Herbal Tea she drinks, the fumes are effecting me. Barry (ENG)
Stay away from that herbal tea. That stuff will mess you up. LOL. Thanks for tuning in again Barry. Always good to hear your comments, even if they weren't funny this week. LOL
Ah, you see the usefulness and the buildup (sort of) to next week's show. You're a very perceptive man John. Thanks for tuning in sir and taking the time to leave a comment.
To be honest Thomas, I'm not 100% sure which measurement you are referring to. Can you be a little more specific in explaining it for me or possibly give me a time stamp of where in the show your question is referring to?
Ah, I understand what you are asking now. Truthfully Thomas, I don't see any of the dimensions changing at all as the only thing that is changing is that angle of the dovetail slot and the angle of the sliders. The length of the sliders and all other parts should be the same. The only measurement that would change at all, (that I can think of) would be the bottom dimension of the dovetail slot. I think it would end up being a little wider than 5/8" and all it would take is to draw it out on the side of the board and take a measurement of it. As long as you have enough material at the top of the slider to attach the handle and the crank, then you should be fine. Without heading to the shop and testing and measuring though, I wouldn't have specific measurements for that particular application.
That guy drove me absolutely nuts all day!!! He was quiet as a church mouse while I wasn't filming and ripping away with the chainsaw as soon as the camera started rolling. LOL.
No worries Malcolm. You can ask whatever you like. Basically, a smoke grinder is physically impossible and it's just a quirky way of saying that it's a wooden machine that does absolutely nothing. That's all. Thanks for tuning in sir.
You would be correct sir, that this is nothing more than an ellipse jig with a handle to play with it. Tune in next week and see how that same concept is turned into an elliptical drawing jig. Thanks for tuning in.

Very nice toy thank you for sharing great ideas .I'm going to make one for myself 👍🏼
Glad you liked it Tomas. Good luck on your build.
well Kenny, you got me into watching the whole video to find out what this is for lol, you win. I will be watching again next week :-)
LOL. Thanks for tuning in. I hope you enjoyed the show at least. I do appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment.
Great way to use up scraps Ken, thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome Dale. Great to hear from you. I hope all is well with you sir and thanks for tuning in.
I've made these grinders many times over the years. Here in Western Canada we refer to them as Bullsh!t grinders. They are useful when someone is full of it!
LOL. I guess I would call them that as well except I'm trying to keep the show family friendly. LOL. Thanks for tuning in.
They’re Newfie Grinders on the East coast.

Kenny I’ve never heard of these but I’m tuning in next week to see what it does mate 👍👍🔨
Ata boy Sumo. It'll be awesome to have you aboard for the show again.
The original fidget spinner. Nice vid bud. Peace. (P.S. Get up a 4am and start using your leaf blower lol.)
Thanks for the kid words Dale. Good to hear from you. Thanks for tuning in!

Make a biger one attatch router to the crank end then you can cut eliptical shapes out

So, what are the measurements to do the slides on the 45° to the sides?
To be honest Thomas, I'm not 100% sure which measurement you are referring to. Can you be a little more specific in explaining it for me or possibly give me a time stamp of where in the show your question is referring to?
kennyearrings1 if you cut the dovetail grooves on the 45° diagonal instead.
Ah, I understand what you are asking now. Truthfully Thomas, I don't see any of the dimensions changing at all as the only thing that is changing is that angle of the dovetail slot and the angle of the sliders.

kennyearrings1 thanks
Back home they called them Arkansas Do-nothings
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I like that name Gary. Thanks for sharing it with me and for tuning in to the show.
Maybe if you hurry, you can run down the street and get some footage of that guy using the chain saw.
That guy drove me absolutely nuts all day!!! He was quiet as a church mouse while I wasn't filming and ripping away with the chainsaw as soon as the camera started rolling. LOL.
What’s smoke and grinder got to do with it. Forgive me for asking but we’ve never heard of such a thing in England 🏴

I thing that a ellipse jig
