I actually enjoy these videos more than the ones on your other channel now, because they show more of the process you go through and the problems you run into.
As always, I really enjoy straightforward videos with minimal editing. Looking forward to seeing the results. Also, I like the random appearances of the smiley face.
Nice. Just had a binge viewing of your bench vice, steel vice, and rotary tool drill press series of videos because with the older series even though there were a lot of videos you explained what you were thinking well so it ended up helping me figure out how I wanted to hinge an entertainment center dvd and game rack I want to build. Want it to not only pull out from beside the tv but swing both ways for 2 sides of storage.
I have to say. I really appreciate the new format of your channels. You are clearly a talented craftsman and being able to see your process and looking in on the 'long form version' if you will is very insightful and very entertaining. To steal a little from you I would say thank you for sharing - the least we can do is watch... and it is quite a pleasure as well.
Love the video over video up in the corner. Can't believe Brian threw you the crap. Glad you stuck to your opinion, shows you thought it out well. Glad he ultimately backed out with some dignity. You're a pro.
Looking forward to seeing the rest - my entire house is begging for plantation shutters and for some reason, it never occurred to me to make them until you posted this! So thank you! Also interested in the new tool........ ;)
Just wanted to say Thanks for keeping the promise you me me a year ago when I asked for you to shoot this process! Can't wait for all the videos so I can get my beautiful wife of my back :)
Looking forward to the next video on these shutters. I've always wanted to make my own. We'll see if I feel confident enough after watching your build. ...Still loving this channel!!
Another great video John, looking forward to the part 2, and 3?.. Thanks so much for all your work putting the videos out here for us to enjoy I know it's a lot of work to do that. Like your channels, enjoy the no B.S. approach that you take, just get-r-done and great projects!!!! w.
Colin Keevil I have enough video footage to make a video or two (part 1 and part2, say) on the butcher block table, so I try to find the time to put that together.
I know this is an old video, but I wanted to check if you are getting any warping or anything with the slats? i imaigne I shouldn't just do this with the 2x4 from the box store.
I'm a beginner with a table saw. Is it dangerous to slices off like you were at 5:30? I was under the impression you wanted to keep the large piece between the saw and fence and adjust the fence for each cut (pain in the neck though). Just curious.
the diffusion would effectively reduce the light in the window by 1 or more stops dependent on the material used. This would make it less of an issue for him. And give more fill to the overall space.
brian faini I have diffusion in place (in the form of a florescent fixture lens) in one window already - it doesn't fix the backlighting. If you know anything about video or taking pictures, you'll know that the best situation is the one where you have total control over the lighting, and not have to work around a bad scenario.
My knowledge on the subject greatly exceeds yours as I'm a professional in both regards. Yes, in a perfect world you would have total control of the space and have a soundstage/shop. Costs will rise and production quality will suffer when you're relying on simple overhead fluorescent fixtures. The cost rising as you find a need for supplement lighting. Use what you've got. You should embrace any natural light you've got entering your shop. A florescent lens isn't proper diffusion as they are made to maximize the light. But im just some guy on the internet, what do I matter?
brian faini No doubt, but it's my shop and my videos. In your shop you can use whatever you want, I won't barge in and call you an amateur and start dictating what you should or shouldn't do.
I actually enjoy these videos more than the ones on your other channel now, because they show more of the process you go through and the problems you run into.
This is definitely a project I have on my list to make! I can't wait to see the rest.

I run my wood through my table saw the same way and have done it like that my whole life. Great videos, keep up the good work!

Looking forward to this John, I have to make some blinds for a renovated part of our house. Cheers, Tim
John Heisz I am really looking forward to this build John, Hopefully I can pick up a few tricks from you to maybe make some of my own.
Just wanted to say Thanks for keeping the promise you me me a year ago when I asked for you to shoot this process! Can't wait for all the videos so I can get my beautiful wife of my back :)
I really like your videos and i am excited to see how these turn out. Keep up the good work John!
Cool project, I'm watching with interest as I'm currently hanging old towels in front of the windows when the sun is a problem.
Andrew Klein This kind of project would be in your wheelhouse Andrew. It's just complex enough to keep you interested! :)
"now I've lost count" haha. I'm looking forward to seeing this process. I've been thinking about making blinds for a kitchen window.
Love the "soundtrack". The video's real cool, too!
April Wilkerson Thanks April!

This would be a great entry for a 2x4 Contest.
The shop is really coming along nice John. It's looking (and sounding) a lot better. Still enjoying this casual format....
Ed Draper Thanks Ed. More improvements coming that will make it even better.
Love the materials you're using. #Envy. Also, the chipmunk counting was awesome and made me laugh...
Sooooo looking forward to this one John. I had asked about the one's you made in the old house a while back. Thanks.
Have made 1/2 of the sets I need for 3 windows ,I'v used screw eyes for the control arm ,going good so fare thanks for the video
Thanks for this. I'm going to follow your plan and make cedar blinds.
Print to Size? Out of sketchup? Now thats impressive!
Old wood is nice to work with and it's nice a dry,
Coming along nicely John!
Phil Sale Thanks Phil :)
Awesome stuff. Love to make my own. I dont have anywhere near enough tools though. Have to buy some unfortunately.
New tool here hmmmmm... Can't wait! The suspense is killing me.
I can't wait to see how this all goes together....oh and I really hope you share the butcher block with us too :)
Colin Keevil I have enough video footage to make a video or two (part 1 and part2, say) on the butcher block table, so I try to find the time to put that together.
Im really excited about this... I want to do this.
Now *that* is a push stick! >:)
April Wilkerson - April made a set of shutters out of 2 x 4's last year
Lol, I just cut up a paper lawn bag and taped it up. Not quite so fancy but equally as effective.
I couldn't see the knots I must be blind. Your going to paint anyway so I don't need to see them - haha. Nice start. Good luck.
Looking forward to this build - What jig is that hanging on the side of your miter station @ 4.29 ?
The ShavingWood Workshop Shelf pin jig? ua-cam.com/video/Q2EclCBqtDc/v-deo.html

New tool in that space mmm...
Can you please show how to "cut a miter for venetian blinds (slats) to fit nicely (butt finish) for an Angled Bay Window?" Thanks.
The small thingies would be easy to replicate using that CNC router. Any updates on that? Still not working?
***** I still don't have the replacement arduino yet.
I'm curious - do you know what type of wood those 2x4s are? I always assumed they are all pine or spruce...
hhmm, now what would be that new (planned) tool there... hhmm
Roll up your sleeves around that table saw!! Making me nervous..
Hey Bud, Just wondering. What are the dimensions of your shop?
How do l make the end pieces for each end on the slats , you don't show a very good way of making those
Diffusion panels would be a better option than blinds.
the diffusion would effectively reduce the light in the window by 1 or more stops dependent on the material used. This would make it less of an issue for him. And give more fill to the overall space.

I Build It it is your shop and they are your videos. Congratulations.
Jon quick question, is your miter saw the 12" version?
akhurash Yes.
Could you use you shapeoko to cut out the little brackets ?
James Cole Certainly could, if it worked. :)
Is your shop warmer?
Tommie Strydom Temp is set to 5 degrees celsuis. Adding insulation makes it easier to maintain that temp (heater comes on less frequently).
Knots, that would knot, work
Why knot !!

Maybe you should lay off the coffee towards the end of your vid, lol.
