Hi Guys, Sorry messed up all the audio on this video. my fault. Uploaded the wrong version so its a bit all over the place. my apologies for that. hope you can still enjoy the video . All the best and thanks for watching
Nice to see you expanding out into other things. Like the sign with the resin. Might want to invest in a hose hook up for the dust collection. Great job. Thanks nick!
Nick, I really enjoy watching your channel. I noticed that you were working with your new router and carving tools but you must remember to clamp your project to a table or bench while you're working on it. I've been carving for years and seen many bad accidents from not using a clamp. Don't forget that you need all of your fingers.
Lovely bit of kit, you have 3 bases, a plunge base, a fixed laminator cutting base and the angle cutting base. if you used the fixed trimmer base and set the depth you can hold it like a warm cup of coffee with 2 hands and control the movements easier. down side is you have to lift and drop it t move between letters. but need to clamp the work sown if you like your fingers. I have the dewalt version which doesn't have the excellent angle base the Makita has, its one of my favourite tools. combine it with a router table and it will open a whole world of possibilities. my recent video has me using it to make a drill press table.
excellent work by the way, love the inlay.
Hey thanks Richard, yes a few have said I need a clamp. so is this for clamping the work down? I had it on the floor, it seemed very stable on the floor mind and I didn't have any movement really. Oh sorry about the audio in this video it was all over the place, I uploaded the wrong version. . Hope to see you at MC in May 2018
Hi Nick the clamp is for the work. when you start using more agressive bits in the router it will stop it flinging the work out the way which could result in you catching your foot or hand. could just use a squeeze clamp and clamp it to the edge of a workbench. Definetely looking forward to makers Central; I 'm seriously thinking of running a school trip to it and bring either a minibus or coach load of my DT students with me.
Hi Nick, my wife bought me a router attachment for my dremel last year. Really cool bit of kit, great way do to smaller detailing for resin inlay
hey thanks Chey, I have a dremel they are great bits of kit. hope to see you at MC in May 2018 mate
Hey Nick, not sure if anyone else has covered it, but just in case you don't know, direction of your routing is very important. You want to avoid what's called a climb cut. Most router motors spin clockwise. It's very important that you're always routing against the spin. Therefore, you always want to move around the outer edge of your piece in a counter clockwise direction, like you did in the video. This way, the router is always pushing against the direction in which you are moving it, and it won't try to jump out of your hands. Conversely, if you're routing an inner edge (imagine routing out the hole in a donut) you want to move the router clockwise, so that you're still working against the spin of the motor.
If you put the router in a router table, always feed your piece from right to left, otherwise, the router can, and probably will, grab the work piece and shoot it across your shop.
There are some cases where you need to use a climb cut. When working with certain woods, like Wenge, you can experience severe chipout on the corners. In these cases, a climb cut will give you better results, but you absolutely have to make sure that your work piece is secured tightly with feather boards and anything else you can think of the stabilize it. When routing freehand, make sure you clamp the work piece securely.
Sorry for the long comment, but I'd hate to see you get hurt with your new toy. :)
P.S. If I didn't explain this well enough, see this article:

wow Nick fantastic news about Makers Central, I would love to come across to it from Ireland. You are doing great work as always, really entertaining 👍
Nice one Nick, got one of those routers as I'm a carpenter and joiner! Great bit of kit. Will be coming to the NEC can't wait! Stay safe, ATB Shaun
Hey buddy, thanks man, be cool to catch up at the NEC, ill also be at UKIWS. all the best mate
Hey Nick, it's good to see you having fun "making"! Your sign turned out pretty cool! Makers Central sounds like it's going to be THE place to be! I really enjoy your videos and enthusiasm and can't imagine the time it takes to put it all together, thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend! Peace :)
Hey Nick, Routers rock man! I'm looking forward to what's coming in the future...
Paul Cairns hey thanks Paul z it's an awesome tool to have I love it
Just told my hubby about makers central and he's said we will have to try and go!! Woo! He's a carpenter/joiner so he loves things like this (so do I obviously!) I love the sign, looks great! My hubby is a whizz with the router, even if he does go through at least 2 a year! :-D
Katie Hart hey kate yes that would be amazing to see you guys there . Are you based in the U.K. ? Hope you can make it either way 😜👍🏽
Yes we're based in Leeds, West Yorkshire :-) Looking forward to it!
I bought a brand new Makita router about 15-20 yrs ago and just found it today, still in the original box and still like brand new. I have bits ordered for it now and we’ll see what happens. This vid was a good starter point. Thanks
Thank you, just purchased one of these
That sorby set is great for relief carving also. Try it, you might like it
Love ur works nick
whoo nick love your give it a go nature and like all us blokes when all else fails read the directions... have you seen the videos on the shaper cnc router... thats is my dream shop item.. enjoyed the video as always... i would love to get to your makers fair but not sure my better half will think the budget will stretch that far.. good luck with it
Looks like a fun new tool
nice new toy nick can't wait for the event next year I'll definitely be going on and try some non slip pad I buy mine from poundland it's perfect for using on the bench so your piece don't move around
Looks good for a first go at it..A Blacklight (UV) will make it glow..
Great video, nice to see a non-lathe feature. can I just mention, the music was quite a bit louder (than you talking) at the start of your description of the router. It was tricky to hear all of what you said. the Visitors from the USA for makers central sound good too. look toward to it.
Does a guide bush fit in the attachment?
congratulations on the new toys for your wood shop Nick. Your sign came out quite nice for your first time....!
Jack Maravola hey thanks buddy . I'm pleased you liked it . Not bad I suppose for a first go like you say . I'm still learning but what better way to learn than to just give it a go!! 👍🏽👍🏽
I was wondering what that dark was for, then I saw it, twise, Maker, from the left and from the right. nice video. Júlíus
Good video! As always it was interesting!
Love all of your videos Nick. Very inspirational to watch. I don't have a workshop yet but do work at a local Men Shed in Dublin. I've gotten some real inspiration from you about how i'd like my workshop to be when I eventually get it together. Keep up the good work. Regards Mik.
Hey that's cool to hear mate, hope you can make over to makers Central buddy next may .. good to see you there
I will definitely try make it over. How do i get tickets for the event and how much are they gonna be.
Nice looking sign Nick! 🤘 MC 2018! 👌🤘😜
Heath Knuckles haha yeah baby let's do this 👍🏽😜😜
You're a maker. Isn't it fun? Between you and Al Fatabo I don't know who has more enthusiasm for turning. Need to get Al over there.
Cheers,
Lee
haha thanks Lee, you have to try and come over buddy. be great to catch up . Thanks for watching . the audio was all over the place in this so sorry about that
Nick, I have some router jig at home. Let me know if you want to see them and have a go.
Great first time free hand router work.
Where did you get the router bits from?
What models it is sir?tq
very good first attempt, free hand routing is difficult . Loved it do more
you did well there buddy ive used my dad router before and its a scary peice of equipment to use ill say that much but keep up the good work a mix of router and lathe work would be good to see in the future some time
Hey mate. I loved using this . I will do some more bits soon I think .never used one before but I can see it can be a great tool. hope you can make it to Makers Central buddy all the best
Great looking pieceof kit Nick, and a nice first project, came out very well mate. MC is going to be brilliant, well done for getting it off the ground, it will be a huge success :)
Mike Waldt thanks Mike . I'm very pleased to confirm your attendance to this show mate !! Can't wait for it 😜👍🏽👍🏽
always learning new things
Hi Nick, Is this a 'SIGN OF THINGS TO COME' ! lol, Woooooooooooaaaah you have an even worse fettish for tools than I do lol.
Why not do some 'Pierced Work' with the Makita? Your Router makes mine look like it's out of the Ark lol. But they can do so many thing's especially good at taking end of thumbs off on your Birthday and spending 7 hours in hospital!!! so please be careful mate.
I miss the Friday turning project but having said that I really enjoyed this one, it made a nice change👍😆👍
Have a great weekend mate👍😎👍
Andrew Smith thanks buddy . Love this Makita. Very cool tool . I'll be doing a few more bits with this 😜👍🏽
Glow in the dark is awesome! Try using a black light and then do video or a photo. :) That's how I got it to work. - Heidi
Hey Heidi, hope your well. ahhh ok ill give that a go. thanks for watching . the video audio was all over the place in this so sorry about that. lol
Nick you should do a Q & A for people who want to ask you questions
Have you tried charging is in the sun, then take it in a dark room for a picture? Or maybe try it under black-light?
Hi nick
Nice job. No milliput ? 😁
Your wall logo don't want to stay on place ? 😝
Take care
Nice video.
Turned out nice, Nick! I also think I just convinced my wife to go to Makers Central! It was a bit too easy, so I think she just wanted a UK trip;-)
Hey mate, thats amazing buddy. YES!!!! i will get you confirmred and on the list with all other makers. its getting bigger evey day .. happy day mate.
I can't wait...it'll be great to see you guys again!
it's amazing how many different aspects of making one can get into. How long have you been turning Nick? I've got my first turning class this Sunday and I'm excited to go.
S Chase hey thank you I've been only turning 2 years now 👍🏽 love it
Welcome to woodturning S Chase :) 3 yrs myself and that's after 30+ in flatwork carpentry as a career. Can't believe I haven't found it sooner ! :) lol :) The simplest things make the large amounts of fun ! Spinning tops that you can make in minutes and give to kids will have them spinning for hours. And adults turn into kids playing w/ them as well, believe it or not :) lol :) Good luck w/ your pursuits and safe turning !!
Steph_Louisiana (Cajun Curiosity's :)
Thanks! I hope I like it as much as I want too. I'm sure I will
I gotta tell you. I had an absolute blast!
see if you can get Kyle toth?
you could use silicone to mount your sign
Nice Nick !! Love the enthusiasm !!
Hey, about showing Neon Glow w/ imaging Sensor ? The idea is to take a photo w/ a camera that can extend the length of shutter speed. Will need your tripod, higher ISO's and maybe a 10-30 sec. exposure !! Just experiment w/ both. Check out video's on : How to ~ Nigh Photography and maybe Lightpainting !!
Thanks for the sharing, love your channel,
Steph_Louisiana
Steph Boeker thanks Steph I am very excited about this show . Hope you can make it over ! 😜👍🏽
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it across the pond :( But, I'll be looking forward to your documenting the fine times you guys have !!
I turn wood, mill wood and make loads of sawdust as a hobby now. I got into video taping my projects as an alternative to my career in wood working, when I got interested in Astrophotography. I can share some of my experiences in both, here online but, as I am disabled and living on a fixed income, I believe I will not be doing much traveling anymore.
I do love to travel and in my 30+ yr career in wood working as a traveling, high-end, mill works installer, I've worked in 47 of the 50 states and every city you can name about 6 or more times :) lol :) I'm now living in the country where I will live out the winter of my life. I was fortunate and am now still. I thoroughly enjoy everything as always and watching others online through UA-cam. I'm just a little slower now !! :) lol :) Thanks for the reiply and safe turning,
Steph_Louisiana
Nice sign!
Willem Kossen thanks mate . Glad you got the chuck ok . 👍🏽👍🏽
Very nice sign ;-) Good I've build myself a CNC router :-D
+Nick Zammeti NZ WoodTurning neon colours work under a black/UV light
You didn't read the directions? Gee, what a surprise...not. The Surprise would have been if you had read instructions.
Nice new toy and nice sign! 😀
Hey Colleen, lol no I didn't lol. thanks for watching. I messed up all the audio on this video which is a pain. hope you could still make it out what I was saying .. haha . all the best
Hit that sign with black light. I bet it would look very cool.
Loved the project today :) but did find the music levels while you were talking a bit distracting! Good work :)
Hey Sarah, haha yes I just checked that out and they are all over the place. lol. I think I uploaded the wrong version which is a complete pain in the bum. sorry about that. hope you still managed to hear a little bit of what I was rambling on about .. take care x
Your lettering was made up of almost all straight lines so you could have clamped a straight edge on to the peice for your router to follow. Also you can swap out the different size bearings between the bits to get somewhat different profiles. Good luck with the new toy!
Hi Nick the new intro is ok but I really miss the sound track....maybe on Wednesdays?
Hi nick it would be great if you had someone on from down under...... I suggest asking Brendan Stemp......
you should contact Pins & Things they are not woodturners but great makers
The wood shavings would make great wood filler!
ha-ha they would sir. not a bad idea that . thanks for watchin mate
it's like me trying to take pictures of glow in the dark embroidery floss. it works, but it really doesn't work. XD still really cool.
Could you also please,try to ask Pohl Barn Productions and Rod Humphrey since they are also awesome woodturners from the US with a lot of UA-cam followers? Hopefully we will see each other at Makers Central in 2021 since Corona got in the way.
KING MAKER!!! lol luv yas :P
Hi Nick, when routing use non slip mat under the work and move the router one way round (check instructions ) . Have a look at this, www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+woodworking-power-tool-accessories-router-jigs-sign-making-sign-pro-sign-routing-kit-rutlands+1262
Peter Corcoran that's awesome . You should get commission as I've just bought one 😜👍🏽
Oh well done nick and another sticker could I please have a couple for my wall it would be great and ill drop one in Rhyl lol like when you went to the good old USA thanks Paul if you need my address let me know you may still have it as I was one off the chisel box winers
Hi nick saw Wednesday waffle have you been in touch with James brunton aka @xrobots ?
Simon T hey buddy no I'll have to look him up mate thanks man 👍🏽👍🏽
Nick Zammeti NZ WoodTurning James is a 3D printer and electronic genius make plenty of time to watch his tubes
Music was quite loud pre-build which kind of made hearing your commentary quite difficult.
yeah sorry about that. I think I messed all the audio up on this video.. dam dam dam.
Why are you on he floor? it is comfier to do on the workbench!
Dawn Mason lol na I found it nice to lay down 😂👍🏽
How about some better or no music..love the videos
realy direstA?... jimmy is my idoll.. make video big ART
ImseetheArtist yeah man . Can't wait for this 😜👍🏽👍🏽
👍👍
So..erm...as I was saying, we learn from our mistakes lol.
No seriously, that worked out quite nice mate, shame you spelt it wrong though :)
Hey NICK, for a good carving channel, with good instruction, look up Mary May on UA-cam.
Beltin video Nick....
thanks buddy
Contact SG Art Turning his work is gorgeous using Ambrosia wood.
❤️👍🏽💯
Great info but your pulsating music is a real pain to listen to and try and understand what you are saying. However good content 👍
Typical MAN play first read second. We bought our daughter in law a Tassimo for her birthday & today we unpacked it. After looking at the instruction pictures...no words...we watched 2 youtube videos on HOW to use it. Then we cleaned it after that made my Granddaughter a hot chocolate & when that turned out ok we made a cappochino for my DiL. only thing we did wrong was put the expresso coffee through first then the milk. Took us about 1 hour lol
Wrong sign making Bits look up Dave’s sign making on You Tube you won’t be sorry.
Tone down the music lmao
Rolf Harris relation
you can do better....🙂
Nick you should do a Q & A for people who want to ask you questions
