My day so far finish work night shift. Watch this video with a coffee 930 out to the shed made a saw handle push stick and a paddle push stick wife comes out with a coffee ask “what have you been doing “ I smile and say having some fun
Thanks for the inspiration Mark
Bedtime now good night
Thats sounds like a great day. A really great day. Thank you for sharing. brilliant. Good night.
One of the best videos I have seen for woodworking so far. Huge number of tips and advise from experience. Many thanks Mark.
Wow, thank you very much. That is really kind.
keep doing what your doing, don't change anything. the variety you provide is great
Thank you Alex. That means so much. It is easy to over analyse everything we do in life and I fall for that a lot. I appreciate the comment.
Great video, the solution for "bad dog holes" is brilliant make it into a short..
Thanks you very much. That is a good idea.
Clicked by accident - woodwork is not my thing -- yet I found found your vid most entertaining and watched to the end. I have no need for any of the items you invented/created, although I can appreciate their usefulness, I simply liked your style and admired your positive energy and enthusiasm. You come across as a jolly nice chap: may you live long, and prosper.
these are the comments that amaze me. Thank you first off for sticking around and watching and also another thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know.
I‘ve only have one thing to say: GREAT JOB!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Really.
Loads of information, no music, from a happy knowledgeable guy, what more could we ask for! Awesome stuff, thank you very much. ♥
What a lovely comment. Thank you very much.
@@startmaking1 You're very welcome! Whilst it is nice to sometimes just watch people making things without any talking, I don't learn much and sometimes don't even know what they are doing or making, so it's not very motivational. Keep up the inspirational work! P.S. what is the black knob thing called, please? I think it's on the router paddle/push stick you made. Even better if you could tell me what size it is and is the threaded rod part attached to the knob or separate, did you use a nut for it too? I expect it's called something different here in Australia, so it's size and function are the most relevant details. Thanks in advance.
If it is the bit that adjusts the back stop on the paddle, it is from a jig making kit I bought on Amazon. The bit it screws into is a threaded insert. You can get these in different sizes. I have gone for an M8, The bolt section with the black knob is called a clamping screw knob on the ones I bought from amazon and they are also M8 size threads, I had to cut them down to the right length to avoid the need for a deeper hole. I have also seen them called star knobs or hex shaped grip knobs with male thread. I really hope that this helps. If you wanted to you could just use a bolt and sink the nut into the paddle part and glue with epoxy and then counter sink the head of the bolt into a round or hexagon shaped piece of scrap for the knob. Ive done that a few times.
@@startmaking1 Ok, thank you very much. I'm watching this video again because it's so good and I've watched so many videos since I asked you that question, I can't remember which one of your 10 tools I was referring. I ordered some threaded inserts and a couple of star knobs in anticipation of something or other I'd seen and forgotten (senior moments), before reading your reply, I'm also going to make some star knobs too, they are pretty easy to do with forstner bits and a bandsaw. Thanks again!
When I was making an 8'+ tracksaw guide, I spread silicone on the bottom of it using a Vee-notched spreader (an old credit card)... it grips better than my commercially made Makita 4' tracksaw guide !!
😎👍☘️🍺
oh wow. I didnt consider that. What a great idea. Thank you.
This is a brilliant idea! As long as you're consistent with your trowel angle you should have a very consistent height to the ridges that would have more "give" to adapt to a rougher surface
New sub, thanks for the content. I'm a retired General Building Contractor, Carpenter, and Craftsman. I'm impressed with your skill in design and fabrication and your depth of knowledge. These things are not common in young people like yourself. I look forward to seeing more from your channel.
Thank you so much. Mainly for calling me young lol. Thats kind.
#1. A couple of hockey pucks works just as well and quite cheap.
Great advice.
I hope you enjoyed the video and can try some of the tools for yourself. Let me know if you have any tools ideas that you have made.
What about making the bench dog in cam for (ovalish)…?
Pro tip : when using a hole saw , allow the 1/4" pilot to go through the stock and the hole saw to cut into the face about 1/4". Then drill from the other side. This will prevent blowout on the other face.
Brilliant tip Paul. Thank you
Great video Mark. As you say, just make something....every day is a learning day and little wins help a lot.
THis, just this. Its enough. Thank you.
I just came across your video for the first time and, I must admit, I clicked in because I thought you were one of my favorite famous musicians! Beyond that, as a newbie, I really appreciate your easy safety hints/tips/tricks for my digits attached and working. Great video!
Hi Mick. Thats lucky because you would hate my musical ability lol. And thank you for the lovely comment.
Excellent video as always. It is easy to get overwhelmed by procrastination in the shed. Having some simple projects up your sleeve to get past that are always useful. Keep up the great work.
I used to procrastinate. Now I just put things off 🌞
I am very much like this and some days I walk down with ideas and plans, open the door and suddenly I lose the motivation. Instead of walking away I just make another jig or tool or something simple. It seems to work, though some days that quick build can take a day lol.
Thanks a lot for your closing comments. I share the same burden - my workshop also is my therapy. But it works!! And yes, I also spend hours in the workshop to work... on the workshop. Brilliant, isn't it? So thanks a lot for sharing your view!
You are welcome and thank you for sharing. I was just saying to some other guys with channels that if I could make videos only on making French cleat holders and people would watch, I would be very happy.
Certainly will be making the bench cookies. My version of the push stick is similar but has an adjustable rear push section that slides down as it gets cut up. Great video my friend
That sounds like a really nice solution. I may cry a little when I cut my first one up. Inevitable though. Thank you.
Yes, enjoying your time in the workshop is more important than what you make.
Every time. Thank you for commenting.
That is your best video. Good ideas with the ability to adapt them. Unlike some videos where they make an engineered device that takes away work time at the bench and therefore will not be used in case they get damaged. You are making throwaway devices to make a hobby safer and more effective without much cost.
I'm a time served cabinet maker, so I tend to be a little picky.
Your choice and use of some hand tools is not the best, but your target viewers possibly won't notice. Well done, do some more.
Thank you. And this is nothing more than me wanting to learn, can you tell me which hand tools are not used right. Promise that I am not asking in a defensive manner. You comment was really well received and appreciated.
For the sake of hobby wood workers. Planes are numbered, which indicates the length of the plane. You used a long plane, 7 or 8 to level and smooth a piece of wood much smaller than the plane. As a result we can see the plane wobbling around as you push it. No way could you achive a smooth flat cut. A number 3 to 5 1/2 would be much better, smaller, lighter, easier to keep steady while removing a fine shaving. If like me you had used planes for over 30 years you could possibly get away with a number 7 if that was all you had. Personally, I would have used a flush cut saw and then a very sharp chisel. I'm not being critical, merely trying to help a fellow woodworker.
Keep making dust and shavings my friend.
@startmaking1
Great info and thank you. I appreciate the explanation. And the delivery. As I say, I learn far more in. the comments than anywhere else. Appreciated.
👍👌@@startmaking1
Well done video…great usage of talk over while showing needed construction. Thank you for your respect of the viewers’ time! Valuable content! You have created a win, win, win video!
Time is finite and fleeting. I appreciate you using some of yours to watch but also to comment and offer encouragement. Thank you.
You've helped me no end. Even whetting my appetite to adapt your ideas has helped me to get the ball rolling and sawdust flying. Great way to keep my mind occupied and my limbs busy #thanks 🙃
Thank you Iain. Much appreciated. Woodworking definitely keeps me occupied. Really important part of life now.
I know what you mean and they little wins. My workshop is a mess at the moment. I stopped tidying and made a storage solution for my drill/driver/glue gun and felt a lot better for it. Still need to tidy up the workspace but at least I know where my most used tools will always be now 😀
Thats what I am talking about. Taking a little time to just make anything. And the more storage you make, the more tidy the shop becomes naturally. Brilliant.
First time to watch your videos & happy I did. The easy shop tools were very well explained. And I have one of those "crap" push-sticks that came with my table saw. What you said about therapy so true. Using my hands & nobody interferes.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback.
Great video, Mark. And well done to you mentioning wellbeing. I remember getting really down during lockdown and one of the things that got me going again was tidying up the garage, buying a table saw and really get into my woodwork, which had until then been intermittent. Its a joy now to have a place for everything and not spend ages trying to find a tool. Ive got a lot of ideas from your videos, so I thank you.
Snap. That was pretty much my journey minus the table saw. Oh and the garage lol. Dedicated space, no matter the size is a real game changer in my opinion. Thank you as always James.
Back to your core calling, Mark. This was a treasure chest of ideas and tips. I loved it! Liked your bench cookies. I bought a pack of foam practice ice hockey pucks that do the same job for a fraction of the price of the real McCoys, but making a French cleat for the cookies… that was class! Going to make me one of those. I liked the rubber based push stick solutions, too, and the router table push stick-square-jig-solution-thingy. Will give that a try.
I also really liked the change in camera angle. I know it was because that’s the end of your table saw, but it meant I could get a good gander at that end of the cleat wall too. 😂
Thank you Roger. this was one I really enjoyed making. Pucks are a brilliant solution. Best thing about the cleat holder is that it is literally thrown together, nothing fancy just a win. Lol, I love how much you like the back drop. That end of the cleat wall is pretty poorly done. It starts at the other end where I am trying to get perfection and then slowly goes into chaos. I may end up making another chest of drawers for that corner so I will have to lose a little of the cleat area. And I am still holding off covering the entire back wall with cleats as that is a massive decision. Fun times.
one thing i found worked well as a push block was a foam backed float from a local hardware store. think it was meant for grouting or plastering, but is nice and grippy. once the foam has gone, i can soon add some sacrificial stuff to it. think it was a tenner, so nothing lost really.
Great idea. I can imagine this would work well . And not too pricey. Nice.
Some great ideas well presented. I really enjoy your videos as they are aimed at hobbyists and you are a very good teacher (I was a trades school electrical teacher for 22 years and have met many good and many not-so-good teachers). I am now a hobby woodworker and my shed is my happy place. I am definitely going to try some of these ideas so thanks for the inspiration. I look forward to watching more of your show.
Thank you very much. My shed is my happy place, thats my feeling exactly.
Man you are Awsome talk about doing what you like is always rewarding
Thats really kind, thank you.
I’ve got some bench cookies I bought from rutlands and I can’t overstate how often I use them. I never even thought of making some but your method I very clever. Great video as always mate.
Thank you Ben. I had no idea how much Rutlands sold.
i loved how you put this together and safely which is a plus
Thank you Dave. I appreciate it.
I agree that the shop is my therapy, and that making anything adds to the joy. However, after a while I find that if I only make "shop projects", and not a finished item that I can put in my house or give to a friend, I start feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. I have a shopful of jigs, storage holders and home-made tools, but I need to produce things that are beautiful for the whole experience to be meaningful. And by "beautiful", I don't mean beautiful to anyone's standards but mine. Seeing an object that I build and that I really enjoy looking at is like graduation, or like an award ceremony, After I finish a project, I can go back to the shop and be perfectly content puttering, rearranging, making new storage items or jigs.
Your quick review of all the non-slip materials was worth the price of admission. Thanks.
I'm glad I found your channel. Keep it up. I'll keep watching!
I love hearing your experience Andy. Really well put. And of course you are right. Especially the beauty by your standards bit. That is so refreshing to read. It can be torture to try and make something perfect. Thank you.
What glue works on silicone? Devcon Home Silicone Adhesive. The secret? Nothing sticks to silicone … except silicone itself. So get an adhesive made from silicone for when you need to bond silicone to something else, because silicone adhesive sticks to everything, including itself
Thank you for sparing me a lot of testing. And I guarantee it will also stick to me.
@@startmaking1 Can you add a link in the description for the silicone sheet you wished you could use?
@@gullinvarg good idea. Done.
I use old hockey pucks as bench cookies. Just need to add the cork.
Thats such a good idea.
Thank you so much, I made door knows. I needed them. Yes I could have bought some but was inspired just to have fun. Like your cookies but sanded.
Briliant. I love hearing this. Thank you.
Hi Mark, That is true, if need to make some thing, make if for your self with home made accessories it does not cost just make it with what you got like your self make it to your own spec and what works for you. Very useful and must need tools and it take the danger out of using bench saw and the router table. These have been great workshop projects and enjoyed watching them being made, great video as always, catch you soon, Take care
Thank you as always Shaun. I appreciate the time you take on mine and other woodworkers videos to leave nice comments.
Terrific video, you hit the mark with this one, simple, direct and just plain fun! Thanks!🙂
Thank you David.
Brilliant! I do the same. When I get a little time, I grab some scraps and see what comes together. Great video.
Hey bud. Did I mentiont how good your workshop back drop was looking in the last video. Brilliant.
@startmaking1 I really appreciate that. Our friend Lee convinced me it was time, and I'm finding it not only makes things look more professional, but it's also easier to shoot. Thanks for your kind works words!
@worstworkshop much easier to do thumb nails too. Especially if you use back ground remover.
One of the quickest subscriptions I have ever clicked.
Great info, excellent presentation, and most of all, no tools costing thousands of dollars that I may never own were used.
I am with you. I clicked & subscribed @7min @I have been enjoying my woodwork for over 50 yrs.
Wow, @Rood67 and @richjones5432 Thank you very much. That means a lot. Genuinely.
Yes, the guys with the incredible shops should be ashamed of their videos come on man, if I could afford all, those tools I’d buy the land and build the perfect shop with all the room I need for any job, garage shop garage/ storage, Newby
@stevenlengyel9701. That sounds fun. I think where people find it hard is when the video is described as a beginner build and all the tools come out. And dont get me wrong, I have done that myself. But it can leave people feeling mis sold. Now, when I win the lottery and build a massive workshop with all the tools, I will get round that by just inviting everyone to visit and build with me. That would be fun.
Since silicone is solvent-resistant, you'd need a mechanical clamping system to hold it in place.
Great video. Thank you.
Yeah, it's a shame but I think you are spot on. oh well. .
as always an informative ,Fun and relaxing video take care from the west side of the pond have fun
Thank you very much bud. Take care.
The plywood to make those cookies now costs more to buy than buying pre-made cookies, lol.
Lol, I hadn't considered that. It not far off the truth scarily.
Thanks for adding the US Amazon links. I ordered some of the cork material. Great video thanks
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the ideas. I assembled my table saw pit that push stick and the blade that came with it in their holders three years ago, they have never been taken out.
Brilliant. Thank you for watching.
This video has been inspirational. Thank you!
Thats great to hear. Thank you,
Wow, this is the first and foremost best video on UA-cam, the only video I’ve ever watched and heard “helping with mental health issues” being said, great job also great video, keep up the terrific work mate 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Joe from Australia 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Hey Joe. I really appreciate the comment. Thank you.
@@startmaking1 your most welcome mate, you are a one in a million people. And it’s hard to find them.. 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Ah Shucks.
I really liked this video, but I loved the last few minutes, thank you
I appreciate that Paul. Thank you.
Pretty cool ! Now all I need is a woodworking table 😊
Lol, one step at a time.
Absolutely great video Mark so many great ideas to give a try to make. Thanks as always for sharing. Have a great week.
Thank you Jim. I hope you have a great week too bud.
A good grip material is inertube rubber and the patch adhesive dries pretty good .
Second or third time I have heard this, Such a good idea. thank you. Never would have considered it.
Brilliant video Mark, great tips and ìdeas. Ì really like your attitude to the help this great hobby offers for mental health. Cheers Mark, take care 👍
Thank you Jim. Take care bud.
Thanks for sharing, Sir.
Thank you for watching.
Start making Saturday let's go. Back soon once watched it 😁🏴👍
Thank you Bud.
bit of light encouragement, I'm new to woodworking looking for it as a screenless hobby and your videos have been really helpful as you don't throw everything on a table straight away like the Americans do!
Thank You Paul.
RTV works on (most) silicone. In fact, with RTV you can just coat the wood. But the cork is still better because it has greater mechanical stability. Silicone will rip pretty easily. Coating the face with a 2 part urethane rubber is probably the best option. Urethane is tough, mix it up, brush it on.
Thank you so much. Such great advice. I appreciate it.
Thanks Mark. Take care & stay safe.
Thank you Doug very much. I really appreciate it. Take care too.
Great video, thank you! Approachable and achievable tips and tricks for beginners like me, cheers 👍
Thank you. I appreciate the comment.
The bench cookies are a great idea, ill be making some for my shop now. Never tried any but now I see their use after this video, Thanks Mark!
Thank you bud.
I had to pause the video at 21:40 and go get a handful of cookies. Your sticky material disk comparison subliminally made me crave a tasty snack!😊
lol. Maybe that is why I have been eating so many snacks. Brilliant.
Hi Mark. Interesting and well presented as always. Thank you for sharing 🌞
THats kind Ray. Much appreciated.
Your wooden "adjustable" planing stop is brilliant. I'll be making some today. Thanks Mark.
Briliant. And thank you.
I disagree. It’s “brilliant”. Check it out
@luisurbina5115 sorry, in meant thank you and brilliant that you are making one. That makes me happy.
The Grrprvallows you to handle long stock. You use two of them. I use them to joint 6' + long stock. The drop down fingers allow you to push and hold down stock in the middle. And then push threw the end, hands away from the blades.
Thank you Ronald. I can see how on a jointer they are really useful.
My little workshop is my happy place!!!
I could not agree more.
I've been wood working for about 6 years and never thought of a pushstick WITH the wide grip pad. Plus the adjustable back hook! 🤯. The hexagon bench cookies is also a great idea. I'm guessing they don't spin under pressure due to the perfectly parallel connection. Have you tried using sliding triangles as wedges? Take a squared up board and cut a slope along it. Make one into a bench dog. Then another solid point leaving room for your work plus a few inches in between. Add the workpiece and use the second triangle to wedge it. Great video! I'm going to add cork to my vice right now 😆
The hex cookies are pretty good. They only turn is I use them badly. But a larger face would be a better design. Love the idea of wedges. Thank you.
Wow! Thanks! I love love this!
Thank you.
That push stick is exactly the design I’ve been looking for. I’m pretty new to the table saw and it’s by far the most intimidating tool. The further I can get my fingers away from the blade the better.
I agree 100%. We are very much in the same boat. Since making these I have found it much less intimidating.
Making your own bench cookies is genius, never thought about making your own
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Genius is a stretch lol bit I will take it.
I have the same issue with the Gripper as it does not grip the wood well. So I bought the Milescraft GrapperPro as it comes with a toes. For the downwards pressure I am using a magnetic featherboard from the top / fence.
I like the idea of a magnetic featherboard. I keep looking at mag switches and wondering what I can do.
Great video. I’ve already made a couple of basic push sticks etc but this has shown what is possible with a bit more effort and imagination. 👍🏻💯
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. But also, basic is ok too. Safety and usability The rest is more for the fun.
I like your video here, your green emblem stands out on my list and I have watched you a couple of times I would say because of it. I leave comments for the youtube people who answer but give the others i like a thumbs up. I think you have the personality that suits what you are doing. The excited way you talk in my opinion would cause us to get out and do some wood work. Thanks for ypur videos and please keep going with it,
Hi William. thank you, thats really kind. It's funny, I was just discussing the other day if I need to adjust the colour of my logo. I thought that it was a little too dull to notice. Glad you commented, thank you.
At last!!!! Someone who understands how to make a push stick that completely negates any reason to use those horrible(my opinion) push shoes that compromise distance from the blade and balance.
The only thing I am going to change with mine is I am going to experiment with an even longer shaft to keep my hand out of reach of any possibility of being cut by the blade. To be this would be the ultimate push stick and I love that you have invented one that can ne modular for different widths of stock. You are the only one on youtube in many years that I have seen understanding the negatives of a push shoe. I have just never felt right about them and have always prefered even the push stick that comes with the saw over them. I have often used 2 push sticks and in all honesty in 30 years have had about 2 kickbacks and they were when I was much younger and could have been avoided.
When designing a push stick my order of priority is 1/Protect my fingers at all costs
2/Control the workpiece.
The standard accepted push shoe reverses this order of priority imho and thats why I will never use them because my fingers are top priority.
I will never ever use one of those yellow push blocks. They have already caused millions of accidents. They should be banned imo because the blind the user to whats happening underneath. They give me the heebie jeebies!
Thank you young man, appreciate your efforts, you have some interesting ideas and designs, I will try a couple of them.
Thank you Terry.
Excellent video. I couldn't agree with you more: sometimes it is all about the easy wins. I don't make fine furniture, or sell shed loads of items I make. I do, however, enjoy my time in my basic garage workshop, and find it very therapeutic.
I had a lot of left over oak worktop from a kitchen job that I used to make chunky bench cookies. Rather than limit the size and complicate the build - not to mention the cost of beasting through oak with a giant hole cutter - I opted for simple, easy to cut, square cookies, flapjacks, if you like. I used spray adhesive and anti-slip rug stuff, and they work a treat. I went on to make a couple of push pads along the same lines.
I also own the gripper, but tend to use push sticks made out of 6by2 offcuts.
Thank you. therapeutic is the word. Great idea for the flap jacks. I missed a trick here as I have some oak work top left too. I used to carve off 10mm slices to use to make boxes when I first started out. Massive drain on the circular saw. Nice wood though. In a weird way I hope to use the Gripper less and less as I get used to the home made push sticks.
keep it up - the encouragement is most helpful!
Thank you so much Stephen. I really appreciate it.
Even if i dont build them exactly like you I have more ideas in my head now than I did before I started the video. I will be building a few push blocks like you have tho. Ha.
Thats all I aim to do. Brilliant . And thank you.
I'll be making the hexagonal bench dog Sunday afternoon. Thanks for the great idea.
I like mine but in all honesty the square one is basically as good and a little more sturdy. Far easier too. I honestly would make one the size of mine and then one twice the length. Too long and you risk it flipping if it is not wide enough. The hexagon was a fun test but I looked again today and 2 sides are only a few mm apart. Either way, I hope you enjoy whichever one you make.
Just found this channel, and so glad I did! Very informative and educational. These are great tips! I've made improvised tools for other things, and I have found those tend to always work better for what I'm doing. I don't own a table saw (yet) or a router (yet) but I do have a workbench I picked up free and I wondered why all these holes? Now I know! I also own a bandsaw and drill press, and these tools and the nitrile cork added to a vise will be a huge help! Thanks!
Thank you James. Much appreciated.
+1 because you're outrageous in a lovely direction
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
thanks for the bench dog ideas. I've been meaning to make them for planing. I already have a good push stick, and not the dangerous chicken leg one.
For planing I expect the cheap small ones are a little scary. A nice big one would certainly be better. Lol at chicken leg.
Thanks for your videos you have inspired me to send more time in the workshop 😊
Thank you. Thats is so good to hear. Really.
Really enjoying your videos. Entertaining and also informative. Thanks so much for posting.
People tend to not realize that every tool and jig was originally built in the shop (or in the smith's shop).
Very true.
How bizarre, just finished making myself some bench top cookies, but was wondering how to store them. Never thought about a french cleat rack. Time to head out to the man cave/garage/ workshop. Excellent video Mark with a couple of ideas to get my noggin going 👍👍
That is amazing timing. What are the odds lol.
Great minds eh 🤔
Appreciate the advice. Getting a cup of coffee and headed down to the shop I hit the like and subscribe/bell button. Thank you
No, thank you. I hope you enjoyed your shop time and coffee.
I work in a metal shop and we use that grippy stuff for cupboards all the time. It's also a bit shock-absorbing for when you're holding onto the piece you're hitting with a hammer (we make armour so have to bouge metal over a dishing stump), it's not as good as the gelpad vibration gloves I found in my size once but it's the next best thing when you have small hands and everything's made for gorillas.
WOw, your job sounds awesome. Im sure it is incredibly hard work too though. I did have a chuckle at everything being made for gorillas. Thank you.
I know you're using plywood for those push sticks and don't need to worry as much about it, but I still feel compelled to bring this up. Be careful of short grain in those handles. The last thing you want is for that hand to snap while you're cutting something.
You are spot on. In fact the one with the replaceable base is a little too small . The push paddle one., I made the handle to base a little thicker. Thank you.
Brilliant as always Mark. Informative, hugely useful and easy to make. Love these videos. More please.🙏
Thank you very much Chris. I really appreciate it.
Great tips. I love the planing stops.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. they will get the most use behind the push paddle I expect.
Love this video Mark. I also use a simple stand off block on my bench hooks to bring the project closer when chiselling etc. Similar to your multifaceted bench dog. I will try to IM you a photo. Nice one.
Hi Ian. Thank you for the email. Had a Quick Look. Will take another proper look later today. Appreciate it.
@@startmaking1 I think your latest build for the MFT planing stop turned over (dog up) would be a similar thing.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought the planing stop was a boot jack 😂
Great, now I cant unsee it lol.
Good selection of projects. You missed a good grip surface, leather. For these projects you do not need pristine highest quality leather any old leather will do dead shoes, leather chair, leather bike jacket after a tumble at speed or any leather heading to the bin.
Damn. That is a great idea. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your training , I know even the professionals are getting hurt , the rotating sharp disk can be unpredictable, specially if you cut something small . Suppose you are a mantis with the long hands and arms , you use two walking sticks with the rubber attachments at the bottom and with the two holding walking sticks push the stick to go forwards and another one to control the wood passing after the rotating blades by holding and pushing that stick .
This much is very true. So many sharp spinning things in the workshop.
Thanks for the positivity. Dig it
Thank you John. I really appreciate it.
Great video as always, some fantastic ideas. Maybe some leftover epdm roofing might be good for adding a cheap sliding grip?
Thats stuff would definitely work.
My choice is the D shape. However, I would turn the 30° towards the back of the push stick.
Thats interesting. I will give it a shot. Thank you.
great video and great ideas. For grip I use the black stick-on stairtread safety strips. It comes in rolls @ big box stores. It's only limit is using it on finished surfaces ... its rough. But who planes finished wood? For cookies grab some black rubber hockey pucks and stick on the grippy stuff.
2 brilliant suggestions . As an ex hockey player I would love to use pucks, the weight and feel brings back good memories. Thank you,
Imagine that, you don't need a studio, or a wall full of woodpecker squares or a ton of Festool, great work. I'm sick of these CREATORS with flashy, noisy intro's, commercials and now and one even has a fake shop which he never uses just talks behind his HARVEY work bench as a studio with his real shop next door. I also really like these creators (a few woman in particular) that have created wood shops and take their next project from magazines for ideas because they have never done woodworking thanks for your realism, honesty and just plain woodworking I have subscribed, and please, don't do those fake tool evaluations unless you bought it because we already know the outcome otherwise nobody would ever send you another freebie. THANK YOU
I think I know the channel you mean. You will have to excuse me for the odd advert. Seems they are the only way to ever consider making this a full time dream job . But I will try and keep them as few and far between as possible. I know for a fact that I cant afford woodpecker and a second workshop for filming seems bonkers. I was lucky to be allowed to build one small workshop. I will no longer do gifted tool reviews. They were ok for a while. I now have a policy that if I am gifted a tool, I will tell people but will not do a full review. See my sense extension video. I would be keen to know what you think of the roller integration. And the upcoming mitre gauge. Appreciate your comment and feedback.
Thanks for another great video, Mark! I need to replace my 3” hole saw to make some cookies, but was thinking of using the drawer liner. I appreciate the alternate options! I think I may see if I can locate some Nitrile Cork instead.
Both would work ok Damon. I didnt show it but one of my cookies is covered with the rubber lattice drawer liner and works absolutely fine. But overall the nitrile cork is outstanding. I should have bought more before telling people. Hope Amazon has enough. What am I saying of course Amazon has enough.
Your router table looks pretty fancy, I don’t have one yet
It's a little over engineered. A couple of videos on it if you need to build one. Though there are simpler versions. Like a board and a hole.
I'm liking your channel more and more. Good attitude, practical/usable information and excellent camera/editing skills; I predict great things for you in the future!
That is really kind. And thank you very much.
very nice job. I will continue to watch your insight, good job
Thats really kind thank you.
