Assuming the neighbours don’t complain:) I need those type of neighbours 😊
Nah my neighbours are great actually.
Starting with coffee is the RIGHT way to start. :)
Personally, I NEED to have coffee and prepare myself mentally before even going into the garage.
Also, I target doing only one step at a time. I feel I gotta get that one step right. I don't even think about what comes next.
And you're right about moving out of the comfort zone.
One thing though, as i get older (66), I tend to avoid anything that can strain my back. I put my planer up on a low table plus bricks to get it to the point where I can stand comfortably with my back straight.
I like the dowel trick with the 2 little metal spikes. Good stuff!
Thank you for sharing this video.
Cheers mate! Yes I definitely need a coffee before getting anything done most days. The metal spikes make drilling perfect dowels so easy. My problem is only having 2 of them. A half dozen would make it much quicker.
Can see the improvement in your woodworking skills over the past year. Same with the quality of the video edit as well. Very impressed.
Cheers mate. You have watched the journey from the very begining so thankyou. Been learning on both fronts so glad it's showing.
Morning David - Great Project and a noticeable improvement in your woodworking skills. Good to see your looking after your neighbours too!
When i started watching a lot of UA-cam woodworking, i was always disappointed at why everything looked so easy, yet when i tried it, it wasn't the case. Turns out Walnut isn't very hard, and is easy to work, compared to Australian Hardwoods which are frustrating at times. Pine is great when it doesn't need to be durable...
Finally - your idea on how to cut tighter angles on the mitre saw - you should clamp an offcut piece across the back. If you look at the cut you did - there is no support behind the piece, so if the saw grabbed, it would want to pull it in which isn't good.
Well done - and good to see the subscribers climbing!
Thanks mate! Yes, not sure why I didn't think to put a scrap piece behind when doing that cut. I will next time definitely, thanks!
I would actually love to work with some walnut, not sure why I am so fixated on it. Might just be the colour. Grass is always greener on the other side or some such. We are pretty lucky with alot of the wood we have available here, so I shouldnt complain. Just too many US youtubers showing off walnut.
@@MelbourneMaker yeah i think thats it.
Very clever design and project.
Love the story told in the video as well.
Will reach out to you next time I'm in Melbourne.
P.S. I want a spiral cutter in my thicknesser one day.

Thanks mate! Please do reach out, would love the chance to catch up
Very nice. Certainly a very useful project.
Cheers sir! Yeh nice to get rid of some of the fine that I've been hoarding and actually turn it into something useful.
Great video mate. Loved the build and final product. Nice upgrade too.
Cheers mate! Yeh I am surprised how much better it is with the spiral cutter head. Loving your new videos btw!
@@MelbourneMaker thanks mate. Doing my best to get better. Hopefully they might start getting a bit more traction now. But wou knows with UA-cam as it’s so strange what gets views and what doesn’t.
Looks great good job
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant project, well done 👏 ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
So jealous!! I want a helical cutter! I want a pink one!!
Yeh massive upgrade. Didn't think it would make that much difference if I'm honest, but yeh big change. Nice job on your workbench as well mate
@@MelbourneMaker Cheers. How nice is it to have a flat (ish) surface to work on?
It's been a while since I've seen UnderDunn's video, but I don't recall him having to modify the housing of his planer when he did this upgrade.
Interesting. I'll need to research more before the full install video. The others I've watched needed to but maybe there are some designed differently. I can see how they could modify the design easily to fit without needing to adjust the housing.
Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
from Adelaide 😀 new subbie :)
Thanks! Welcome on in!
Great to see more antipodean content. Were you rooting lions or swans?
Haha there's a word you don't see often! I wasn't all that invested in the game, but would of probably preferred the swans to get up. Cheers!
I have the same planer and you may or may not know that the blades are double sided. I understand this is sponsored, however all you really needed to do was flip the damaged blade and you could have continued working. Replacement Makita blades are quite cheap. $500 would buy about 10 sets of replacements. Great project 👍🏼
Hi mate thanks, yeh I probably should have mentioned the cost of the straight blades. I actually bought this machine second hand from a guy that did floors so I had already flipped the blades and were well past their use by date. While straight blades would be far cheaper and easier to swap over I was genuinely surprised how much better the finish was, although comparing to blunt blades probably isn't fair. The noise reduction is also good as I'm so close to the neighbours as well.
Fair enough. If this helps your future videos [where sponsorship or product testing is involved] I felt that you may have skipped over the alternative fix in order to get straight to the endorsement. To me, this felt slightly disingenuous even though that wasn’t your intention. In saying that, I think you do a great job of [and in] your videos, and I completely understand the work it takes to make them… so, thank you for your efforts.
You’re putting the sled in the planer backwards. It’s supposed to support the wood from behind as it’s being pushed through the planer.
Hi mate, thanks. I actually used to use it the other way until I had a piece push off the levelling wedges. As the feed rollers rotate so as to pull/push the work piece through the machine, the cleat should be on the leading end in order to push the sled along with the work piece.
@@MelbourneMaker As you wish. Hey if it works for you, go for it.
Me again.... 15:50 Please use a backer board when cutting those angles on your mitersaw.... I nearly lost my index finger a few years ago doing something similar.
Thanks mate! I'm not sure why I didn't think of this at the time. Will definitely do in the future. Cheers!
Do you have plans for this by any chance?
Unfortunately not, only the scrap drawing I made. I did give it a go on sketchup, but I am useless at getting that to do what I want. If theres a couple of people keen on plans Ill see if I can get them done up on fiverr or something for everyone and let everyone know on the Pateron.
Nice work! You need a bigger hammer😉
Haha! Yeh, she's a big thumpawacker.
Hello colleague ❤🎉
You do some amazing work.
Rotate it 25 degrees? LOL
Hahaha. Can u tell I was tired doing the voiceover? 😅
@@MelbourneMaker I got a kick out of it... Keep up the good work.... I am 50 years into working working both professionally and as a hobby. I have recently started working with pallet wood. Have to say it is enjoyable. I also have some Amish Mill guys as friends and get great deals on hardwood.
@@MelbourneMaker Funny thing here... I am going to build the wife an entryway table with a larger drawer for her scarves and a shoe rack down below with hardwood pallet wood.
