    Love the technique with the ink transfer.
    But jointers are just dammed convenient.

      Have to agree :D

    • @ClayDowling
      @ClayDowling 10 років тому +1

      He's buying from a better home center than I can get, or clamping his boards harder than I do. I always match plane it, which gives me nice flat glue ups and just makes the work easier.

    • @ClayDowling
      @ClayDowling 10 років тому +7

      Using a jack plane fits in my definition of minimalist, mostly because I started in a shop without power. I am in the heated basement now, so I have some power tools now. But I did once trade a bench top table saw for a cat. The saw was not very useful, but the cat has been a good shop cat.

    I'm not a woodworker but I watch your videos all the time. It's just something fan out your personality that makes watching your videos entertaining

    Holy crap... That printer trick. Never knew that was possible.

  • @Everfalling
    @Everfalling 10 років тому +7

    that decal transfer technique is a stroke of genius.

  • @delsydsoftware
    @delsydsoftware 10 років тому

    I really like the fact that you include design and manufacturing mistakes into these videos. Half of the fun of woodworking for me is solving problems I've created myself. :)
    Also, that inkjet transfer really pops out when you add the spray lacquer. Very cool.

    Good tip on the ink transfer.Thanks Steve,

    @WildcatFB 10 років тому +2

    It looks better because you are getting closer to the Golden Ratio/Rectangle, where the bottom is the square part of the rectangle. Architects, designers and artisans have used it for centuries.

  • @solesearched
    @solesearched 10 років тому +1

    That ink transfer was amazing! I had no idea it could be done so easily.
    It really is true that you learn something new every day.

    the label sheet transfer was great, i can't believe its so simple and looks so awesome

  • @ecwhite3621
    @ecwhite3621 10 років тому

    Steve, thank you, thank you, thank you. This photo-transfer process may be well known, but I had not seen it before. I also scratch build R/C model airplanes, primarily using foam board. This photo-transfer process just solved a ton of problems for me in labeling, numbering and decorating, without adding weight.

  • @AleksandarKospenda
    @AleksandarKospenda 10 років тому

    I love the little tap´s the hammer makes with sped up footage. Loads of it from that no power tool guy that made the foot powered lathe.

  • @trcmf
    @trcmf 8 років тому

    The image transfer technique is ridiculously awesome. I've been looking for the easiest way to do that and I think I found it. I have empty label sheets I throw out all the time so this is ideal.

  • @OllyParryJones
    @OllyParryJones 10 років тому +1

    I love the method for transferring those images on to wood. I've seen other people do it with laser printers but I think the majority of us own inkjets.

  • @SteveCarmichael
    @SteveCarmichael 10 років тому +4

    Nice garden toolbox! I have one that belonged to my grandfather. It's 3' long! lol I think he used it for tools at his sawmill in the 1940s. Love the ink transfer idea.

    Tool box looks great, with the way you do the printing you could adapt a picture to suit, house hold pluming/craft tools etc., the printing is one of your best tips, thanks

    That transfer technique is great, I will be using that one. The wife and daughter raise money and do the 60 mile walk to fight breast cancer every year and with that technique I should be able to make some nice things for their fundraisers. Thanks :)

  • @trongod2000
    @trongod2000 10 років тому +2

    Considering what iron on transfers cost... This is a super idea and a real money saver. I think you just started a cottage industry. I know you did this just so you didn't have to paint the box hot pink or something. LOL

  • @stanley526
    @stanley526 10 років тому

    great job! loved the idea of putting the whole thing together without metal fasteners. side note, the reason it looks better the second time might have something to do with the golden triangle. i believe you mentioned this before.

    Hi, Mr. Ramsey. Very nice project! I will have a hard time cutting 14 degrees with my jig saw, this will be the challenging part (never doubt the power of a jig saw!). Very nice your new drill and safety glasses (that´s fashion, ha). Thank you for sharing!

    That is a great video and a fantastic project with only one bit of crappy advertising in it, I think you are allowed one bit of advertising to bring a bit of cash in. It would be nice to see you go into a little bit more detail of the way you set your machinery up but over all, you are the man as the You tube woodworking for me! Well done Steve.

  • @sonicseaweed
    @sonicseaweed 10 років тому

    Great transfer idea. Just keep in mind that inkjet ink is not UV stable and will fade in sunlight. There are UV resistant spray laquers that may help protect the transfer (I have not tried it though).

    You have a great shop full of wonderful table-based tools. Can you show some of these projects using the hand power tools that us "mere mortals" might have? I can see how I would extrapolate much of what you're doing to my hand power tools, but it would be great to see how a pro like you would do projects with the hand versions of power tools. Thanks!

    This is a case where spraying on the lacquer makes perfect sense, because if you brush it on, it might cause the transfers to smear.
