Morning Mark! LMAO, for a few very confused seconds I thought you were going to sharpen the planer blade with the 45 degree circular saw! I guess I needed to finish this coffee before watching.
Wait, did I dream you getting a new table saw and making a new woodworking bench? Was that a fever dream? Have I fallen into a time warp? Either way this is lovely work as always.
In South Africa there are plenty of Cut and Edge shops, plus a few of the big hardware chains do it, and of course, some of the board sellers. Never saw a single one in the US. Then again, they don't have laser cutting job shops on every corner either. Weird.
ok i was really shortly going crazy to see the old Workbench and table saw and after you said that James Webb is still on its way i got it that this video is recorded some time ago.
@@RotarySMP some have been pretty bad especially after hitting nails in recycled timber but diamond stones are pretty quick when you go through the grits. They seem a lot quicker than sandpaper, I normally go 300-600-1200-2000-3000 but the 300 does most of the work.
i could do that with old tongue and groove floor boarding if i wanted monotone throughout: it's duotone because prev. owner dishwasher flooded the prep area. The old is actual blond wood product but the new stuff is super dense and heavy plastic that is almost bulletproof.
There is nothing wrong with presenting some woodworking, especially when it's well done, so I'll say, Well Done. 👍 I don't mind doing it myself, there is a degree of satisfaction in standing back and admiring your own handy work, my problem is I only have our driveway to do it in. I built a timber double bed base a few years ago and it was a struggle to fit it in the space I had available. 😏
That bit about the difference between wooden aircraft manufacture from Europe and America was fascinating. As for JWST, people don't realise just how hard this sort of thing really is.
Thanks for your feedback. That old growth Sitka from the Northwestern rain forests was beautiful timber. Orbital mechanics is amazing, especial in the era of Apollo, where they didn't have the computing grunt we have today.
Hi Mark, nice cabinet. While I'm mostly here for the Machines , I've never understood the metal VS wood argument. Anyone that has ever seen the beautiful mahogany casting patterns used in founderies or ceramics making (me for example) could never agree. also up to the mid 80's mold and stamping machining patterns were also mahogany each one a work of art
My technique for making basic drawers is I make a groove in the bottom to hold the drawer bottom. I find in stronger than glue and nails. I don’t rebate the sides but glue and shoot nails in to hold them while the glue sets. If you clamp one side to a bench edge you can line the other side up well enough as you nail it. Not exactly fine woodworking but they work pretty well for workshop drawers for instance.
Nice to have some decent friends, who are willing to let you borrow their tools. One of the best woodworking tools I ever bought was a Makita biscuit router, having bought it, I wished I'd stumped up for one years ago. Those ELU tools were just fantastic, I still have one of their original rechargeable drills, but the batteries are shot and no longer available. Worst thing ever was DeWalt buying them out, but the basic styling still shows through. And that blue looks the same shade as Knuth use on their lathes, mills etc.
Yeah, some of the local hardware stores offer to saw cut, charging a price per cut. Not too expensive. Results vary a lot depending on the operator though.
Seriously loved the soundtrack choices! 👍 BTW, last week I finally chose to slice up one of the 1940 spruce wing spars for a project. The wood is simply beautiful, with super straight grain, closely spaced; the end grain shows optimal quarter-sawing. They don’t make trees like that anymore.
The project is a display stand for an antique clock movement, an early 1800’s style with all wooden components. It’s not quite finished yet, but I think it will be a good result. The wing spars had many small nails in them originally; most were removed, but I still managed to discover some hidden ones with the help of my thickness planer. 🤨
That side table looks absolutely incredible. The only thing I would have done differently was paint the drawer faces Maho Green. Green always goes better with medium wood tones. 😂
The cabinet came out really well, from the video you can see that the bottom mdf sheet flexes for its own weight. I have the same problem with a similar cabinet at home and I suggest to put a small piece of wood of the right thickess to compensate for it. If you plan on putting document binders on the intermediate shelf a vertical spacer connected to the lower shelf right above the wood piece will help a lot. Just my experience
Nice Mark! But is this some older content? Last time I saw you woodshop. It was a but more modernized. Your workbench and tablesaw for example, you know, the yellow one...
@@RotarySMP No Problem. Some spare projects are always good. For some non effective or lazy time... You know the german saying: "auf Halde produzieren..." Anyway, a nice Project too, and as a wood/metal/scrap/whatever-worker by myself, i enjoy good maker-content... BTW thank you for your recommendation of "Jeremy makes Things". Exacly my taste in Videos...
Your woodworking projects might be my favorite videos you do. It's fun seeing someone work with limited space and tools. I'm a pro carpenter/builder and I don't have those challenges
As a carpenter, that was quite entertaining! Especially the part where you said you probably chose the worst way to do that... Looks good and the boss is happy!
Yeah, I made this over a year ago, but never got around to editing it. Then last week I got less done than expected, so it was nice to have this footage in the vault.
Using the Shellac for sanding sealer is a good move. Another benefit is separating the paint from the wood. I've got some cabinets and trim work I did nearly 20 years ago which was painted white. The cabinets I used Shellac as the base coat under the paint, but I didn't use it on the trim work. All these years later, the white on the cabinets is still bright and in great shape, while the trim work has yellowed a bit. My working theory is that the Shellac created a barrier between the paint and the acidic wood underneath.
@@RotarySMP This is true, I've used it as a sealer/grain filler under Urethane with good success. I used it mainly to reduce the number of coats required to get decent finish. Too many coats of Urethane can cause problems that are difficult to fix.
You could start a business making furniture, you could call it Kiea, like ikea, but better! Lovely job and far beyond my skill and patience level! Phil
Love it. Love the soundtrack too! None of my local stores offer anything more than basic breakdown sawing. (Ie cutting sheets to approximate sizes that are easier to transport) The accuracy is entirely dependent on who's running the panels saw.
That is a nice service at Bauhaus here. They have a track saw on the wall, and can cut huge panels to sub mm accuracy, and you only pay for the wood you take. The invoice is done per area.
@@RotarySMP I'd kill to have a service like that here. The number of projects that I would do I didn't have to fuss with sourcing my own lumber, storing all the panels, cutting it to size, etc...
@@ddanielmiester It is good, but only for plywood and partical boards (though they also offer an edge laminating service for those white boards you make kitchen boxes from). Considering the beautiful timber which grows here, they mainly stock the lowest grade of framing pine.
I don't want to do another laminated wood project any time soon. Brought back lots of bad memories. But the key to being a good wood worker is knowing how to cover your mistakes. And I got pretty good at that... Right now I have pulled out most all of my left over lumber and about to sell it all. No desire to do it anymore and it's taking up space. Some 8/4 walnut and Philippine mahogany and really wide ash boards etc. On the MDF.. I coat the edges in drywall mud then sand it off and you get a nice finish and it stops the soaking in there. For the drawers I'm lucky and have a hood plywood supplier here that carries premade drawer sides. I built our kitchen cabinets (30 linear feet) and dovetailed all the drawers and made cherry doors. Never again will I do those projects for myself. If I'm not getting paid I don't want to do it anymore. Turned out great though blue is not my color.. I stopped using latex paint for those projects and only use oil based or automotive acrylic paints. Fast drying and far more durable and actually in line pricing wise with good quality latex paint.
@@RotarySMP The thought hadn't even crossed my mind. However... There is a guy that made a 3d print file for a 4 gauge instrument cluster and I would like to modify it some and then use it as the buck to make a mold. Then try my hand at forged carbon fiber. And if that goes well do the same with the glove box door. The glove box doors are pot metal and partially chrome plated and painted and hard to refinish.
5:50 On the point of building wooden aircraft and having to use resin to strengthen the construction, I immediately had to think back to a recent video by a certain Aussie on the "The Horrible History of Russian(/Soviet) Fighter Planes" where he makes a point about that as well, since for at least one prominent model (the LaGG-3) in that history it was rather important: ua-cam.com/video/ny4AYOv-nUk/v-deo.htmlsi=vWODvvQ0D4IptW28&t=3305 Short version, due to unavailability of raw materials, skilled labor and/or funds, they chose "delta wood" as their construction material, very thin sheets of birch or pine wood veneer, treated with resin. Good in some aspects, very bad in others as explained above. The whole video is actually well worth a watch and the phrase "and then it got worse" is definitely seeing some use.
Thanks for the link. I like those historical videos. It is very difficult to improve on the strength to weight of old growth sitka spruce. Those laminated woods like Tibo had high strength but were much heavier, but at least they allowed predictable material properties.
@@RotarySMP For just *one* of the downsides, let's just say "glass hard" wood composites don't mix well with cannon shells being fired at them in air combat 😬
Great work Mark. Especialy considering some of the scetchy setups... (no kickbacks, trimming of the sides of the legs?) But didn't you upgrade your woodworking shop in the past year quite a bit? I assume the project was not only long overdue (at least in misses Rotays eyes) but was also stretched over quite some time. 😉 loved the allergy comment! 😂
Hi Simon, yeah, this was done ages ago, but I never got around to editing it. Then this week I didn't make the progress I was hoping, so I edited this old footage.
@@RotarySMP no worries! It was like a deja vu. Beeing a cabinetmaker I was always quite impressed about your woodworking skills with such a setup. Though I like your new woodshop setup even more.
Biscuits along the edges of the drawer boxes makes the, self-fixturing and eliminates the need for cornet clamping fixtures. Also eliminates the dowel holes.
I did similar things, but this one was done ages ago, and I never got around to editing the video. Since I got less done last week than I hoped, I finalla edited it.
That side loading table saw is crying out for a little CNC love... BTW, MDF primer is available - I'm assuming it's a mix of paint & sealer. I've not used id it for spraying but very effective for brush coating.
Nice Job Mark! What happened to the table saw and thicknesser that you used before?? You should send me the blades so i can make a video sharpening them on the cincinnati no.2!!
Hi Stefano, this was old footage. I never got around to editing it, but made too litle progress on my current project last week, so I finally edited this one. I think Phil already replaced those chipped blades.
Good project, Mark. What happened to that little DeWalt table saw you got awhile back? Also the planer I thought you got and upgraded the drive system after it melted down? Either way looks good an you hopefully can put off other "honey do" type things for another year lol.
This was an older project I did before I got the DeWalt and Inca, but never got around to editing. Since I made less project last week than expected, it was a good time to use it.
You do know that they make replacement drums for the thicknesser that use uncoated carbide inserts right ? I know that if I even got one. I would probably replace the drum to one that take carbide inserts instantly
@@RotarySMP might be expensive but at least in my mind. the ease of mind knowing that i not only use super sharp uncoated carbide would be nice and enough for me least and enough for me to buy it
@RotarySMP Mark I hate to bring this up, but is this old footage/remastered or did you accidentally delete the video and you're reuploading it? I specifically remember the story about the wood airplane parts, and that's your old tablesaw setup (before you got the yellow one)
This is old footage, which I never edited back when I made it. I didn't get as much done last week as I hoped, and decided to finally edit this video. I didn't think I had used that aircraft detail before. Easy to forget what is already used.
Why do I get a sense of Dejavu when I watch this video as if I had seen it before? Edit: As I continued watching it was obvious its a new video, but didn't you do another similar project in the past?
Got to report some progress on my WIG skills did make a little pedestal out of 30x10 stainless sucks a bit to not own a welding table so took half of sunday to setup. But after that wedging a little pice of wood between the „sprossen“ and having the 11 pices line up. Welding was more of a game to see how one can weld differently. Well made holes in 3 of them as having the ramp not setup correctly (35 to 90A for 1,5mm) but was able to fix them and cut it out with a angle grinder. Welp next step is welding posts for a balcony 2.5mm stuff so a bit more forgiving i think.. sadly no laser welder 😢
Yeah, it was old footage. I never got around to editing it, and last week didn't make the project progress I was hoping too make, so it was good to have something which needed editing.
OK I'm confused. I could have sworn I watched a video of yours where you replaced your workbench and table saw with a new de Walt jobsite saw and you built a table to accommodate it. So, either I dreamt that, or this project took place before that? Help. Am I going mad?
2:18 To answer that question. No! I buy new ones... I have a DeWalt thickness and a 6" jointer... I consider what my time is worth to the cost of new. In 1999 I bid my jobs based on $35 an hour and intentionally over estimated the time. It's likely I can't get blades for the jointer anymore since the company no longer exists since and the tool is 40+ years old...
I'll wager that you can get new blades for your jointer, at least if the cutter head is a conventional design with jack screws and clamping gibs. 6" is a pretty common blade length, so really the only variables are the width and thickness. Lots of 3rd party companies make jointer blades, so you might be able to find something. Having said that, I buy new for my Dewalt 13" thicknesser, since they are really not meant to be sharpened. I have an older Delta 6" jointer and I put carbide edged straight knives into it some time ago and they are still hanging in. I made a sharpening jig similar to Mark's and I may have a go at sharpening them.
It was. I never got around to editing it, but last week I didn't get as much done as I planned, and therefore it was nice to have a set of footage to makes something of.
I once tried building a desk. First I managed to cut off a large chunk of my old workbench, then I somehow succeeded in gluing the whole damn thing to the workbench. That is when I gave up.
Wonderful! Having fun with timber! I enjoyed watching! Thank you! Best! Job

I use my diamond stones up to 3000 to sharpen my thicknesser blades. Just by hand.
I guess you don't let them get as badly damaged as these ones before you resharpen?
@@RotarySMP some have been pretty bad especially after hitting nails in recycled timber but diamond stones are pretty quick when you go through the grits. They seem a lot quicker than sandpaper, I normally go 300-600-1200-2000-3000 but the 300 does most of the work.

(me for example) could never agree.
also up to the mid 80's mold and stamping machining patterns were also mahogany each one a work of art
I agree, I quite like working with wood as well. That mahogany they used to use for pattern making was lovely timber.

I did similar things, but this one was done ages ago, and I never got around to editing the video. Since I got less done last week than I hoped, I finalla edited it.
That side loading table saw is crying out for a little CNC love...
BTW, MDF primer is available - I'm assuming it's a mix of paint & sealer. I've not used id it for spraying but very effective for brush coating.
That saw got replaced with a DeWalt. This is a project I should have edited ages ago. :)
@@RotarySMP Ah yes, I remember now.
Nice Job Mark! What happened to the table saw and thicknesser that you used before?? You should send me the blades so i can make a video sharpening them on the cincinnati no.2!!
Hi Stefano, this was old footage. I never got around to editing it, but made too litle progress on my current project last week, so I finally edited this one.
I think Phil already replaced those chipped blades.
Good project, Mark. What happened to that little DeWalt table saw you got awhile back? Also the planer I thought you got and upgraded the drive system after it melted down? Either way looks good an you hopefully can put off other "honey do" type things for another year lol.
This was an older project I did before I got the DeWalt and Inca, but never got around to editing. Since I made less project last week than expected, it was a good time to use it.
@@RotarySMP Makes sense. If confusing at times lol.
@@baronclime6423 Sorry about that :)
@@RotarySMP No sweat. Just goes to show how linear we can think of things. Never occurred to me it might be some older footage.
welding with plastic... neat.
Thanks Mike.
Yep, a lot of work. But the result really pops.
Hi Michel. Thanks. She is happy with it, that is what counts.
You do know that they make replacement drums for the thicknesser that use uncoated carbide inserts right ?
I know that if I even got one. I would probably replace the drum to one that take carbide inserts instantly
They are very expensive, and I haven't seen them sold over here.
@@RotarySMP might be expensive but at least in my mind. the ease of mind knowing that i not only use super sharp uncoated carbide would be nice and enough for me least and enough for me to buy it
Ive not had much luck with spraying paint. Whats your process for thinning the paint?
I used about 10% paint thinners. I dont measure it, just eyeball it. Normally I thin the whole can once at the start.
@RotarySMP Mark I hate to bring this up, but is this old footage/remastered or did you accidentally delete the video and you're reuploading it?
I specifically remember the story about the wood airplane parts, and that's your old tablesaw setup (before you got the yellow one)
This is old footage, which I never edited back when I made it. I didn't get as much done last week as I hoped, and decided to finally edit this video. I didn't think I had used that aircraft detail before. Easy to forget what is already used.
I was not as observant regarding his tools but after the JWST comment I had to do a quick google search to check if I was missing something!
Happy wife, happy life…..
Yep, that is also her opinion. :)
Why do I get a sense of Dejavu when I watch this video as if I had seen it before?
Edit: As I continued watching it was obvious its a new video, but didn't you do another similar project in the past?
Yeah, I made my office table with the same strips of timber, and made this one about a year ago, but didn't get around to editing it.
Was jeder Mann sagt: Du brauchst mich nicht alle 6 Monate daran erinnern was ich noch alles zu tun hab, ich schaff das schon selber 😅
I made a bunch of furniture for myself, so It was also overdue to make this one.
@@RotarySMP Gibts die auch mal zu sehen für weitere Inspiration?
@@bernhardweiss1309 Ich habe schon video gemacht. Meine Arbeitstisch, Bürotisch, Holzbearbeitungs Bank sind alle in YT.
Your friend lent you his Lamello and you needed angle iron and dowels??
Yeah, I had already returned it by the time I got to the boxes. Didn't think that through at all :)
Got to report some progress on my WIG skills did make a little pedestal out of 30x10 stainless sucks a bit to not own a welding table so took half of sunday to setup. But after that wedging a little pice of wood between the „sprossen“ and having the 11 pices line up. Welding was more of a game to see how one can weld differently. Well made holes in 3 of them as having the ramp not setup correctly (35 to 90A for 1,5mm) but was able to fix them and cut it out with a angle grinder. Welp next step is welding posts for a balcony 2.5mm stuff so a bit more forgiving i think.. sadly no laser welder 😢
I have have another welding project nearly finished. I hope I can get this done and edited for next weeks video.
how long ago was this filmed? I'm assuming it was while because you're not using your dewalt table saw.
Yeah, it was old footage. I never got around to editing it, and last week didn't make the project progress I was hoping too make, so it was good to have something which needed editing.
@@RotarySMP still enjoyed it regardless, I bet editing this made you appreciate your new bench and saw for wood work 🤣
What happened to the inca planer? Do you not still have it?
I do, but this project was done earlier, before I got it. I just didn't get around to editing it earlier.
Is this a rerun? I’m getting serious Deja vu…
seeing the old table saw and jointer gave me flash backs :D
Yeah, this footage has been maturing for way too long. I didn't make the progress I hoped this week, so I finally got around to editing this one.
Thicknesser, do you mean a planer?
Yep, that is the beast.
OK I'm confused.
I could have sworn I watched a video of yours where you replaced your workbench and table saw with a new de Walt jobsite saw and you built a table to accommodate it.
So, either I dreamt that, or this project took place before that?
Help. Am I going mad?
I made this well over a year ago, but only just got around to editing it, as I didn't get as much done last week as expected.
Hey Mark, was ist mit deiner DEWALT 7492 passiert?
Dieses Project war vorher. Ich habe die Video nie geschnitten, aber letzte Woche zuwendig Projekt Vortschritt gemacht.
2:18 To answer that question. No! I buy new ones... I have a DeWalt thickness and a 6" jointer... I consider what my time is worth to the cost of new. In 1999 I bid my jobs based on $35 an hour and intentionally over estimated the time.
It's likely I can't get blades for the jointer anymore since the company no longer exists since and the tool is 40+ years old...
It is frustrating when a good tool is no longer supported.
I'll wager that you can get new blades for your jointer, at least if the cutter head is a conventional design with jack screws and clamping gibs. 6" is a pretty common blade length, so really the only variables are the width and thickness. Lots of 3rd party companies make jointer blades, so you might be able to find something.
Having said that, I buy new for my Dewalt 13" thicknesser, since they are really not meant to be sharpened. I have an older Delta 6" jointer and I put carbide edged straight knives into it some time ago and they are still hanging in. I made a sharpening jig similar to Mark's and I may have a go at sharpening them.
It would suck as much as the door leaving a 737
Those PAX were lucky that door departed at such a low px differential. If the door had held on till top of climb it would have been much more violent.
Must be an old episode filming wise as it used your old no longer in existence workbench and table saw.
It was. I never got around to editing it, but last week I didn't get as much done as I planned, and therefore it was nice to have a set of footage to makes something of.

Thanks Ken.
Her workplace will be less messy? Where she see any mess?
Womens... 🤣
I will not even comment on this :)
Continuity ? Errm.. no 🙄
Don't worrk Mark, hardly anyone will notice.
Yeah, I didn't get as much done last week as expected, and therefore this old project which I never got around to editing finally got edited.

Thanks Joel.
I once tried building a desk. First I managed to cut off a large chunk of my old workbench, then I somehow succeeded in gluing the whole damn thing to the workbench. That is when I gave up.
Yeah, it is a easier to do than we all think.
