Re: When you cancel out the deviation from 90 degrees cutting the edges on the table saw, you said you cut one edge on right side of blade, then move the fence and cut other edge on left side. I've been leaving the fence on the same side, just cutting one edge, marked "up" then marking the other edge "down" and flipping it over to cut the other edge. When I glue them, I glue "up" edge to "down" edge. Seems faster to me, unless I'm missing something?

Nope, I think you're on track better than I am! I just didn't think of that. I always joint at my jointer, it was a last minute though to mention how to do the same at the table saw for those who didn't have a jointer. Your way makes a lot more sense. I'm going to pin this.

Good tip. Funny thing is I was doing same thing today gluing up wider threads, except I was doing it with my ts55 track saw (seems to cut straighter) And when I do bookmarch 2 slabs I just flip them as well. (Using 1 solid piece of makita 9-1/2’ track. Just clamp it and cut really slow with low tooth count blade (deep gullets clean sawdust out nicely and going slow will give you that nice arrow straight glue ready edge with no tear out. Sry for long rant

Barry Manilowa my country is US. It all started with makita sp6000 at first, then my boss liked it so much he wanted to buy it from me. So I got a used ts55 for $400. That was about 5years ago. It’s still kicking. Since then I slowly acquired most other stuff festool has: OF1010 (new), kapex ks120 (new bug 2nd hand for $900, the guy was desperate. But all legit. With receipts and extra blade) domino df500 (new, but it’s my favorite festool tool), 2 of their vacums, and 3 sanders. (One of them is 6” rotex) amazing time saver.

@bungle555 5 жыл бұрын
@@YouCanMakeThisToo IMO, absolutely. I had the same situation where I couldn't justify the prices of their high-end sanders, but I wanted something better than other brands' random orbits, mainly because I know that prolonged hand vibration can lead to nerve issues. I bought a Festool 574993 for $200 and *love* it. Connected to a Shop-Vac, there is almost zero dust, and vibration is much less than any hand sander I've ever used. Their proprietary discs are a bit expensive, but not too bad - and actually a good deal when you consider how much longer they last than most discs. They also have grit formulations specialized to different stages of woodworking. Another tip: get a Bosch VAC005 hose from Amazon or Zoro for $35 and save a big chunk of change over Festool's hose.

This table arrived well packaged and on time. kzfaq.infoUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!

Thanks! You might luck out with that, the first time I used them I was asking too much because I didn't mill properly and they helped but not near enough. Did some more research and learned about tapering them, it makes all the difference. Just be sure to give yours a wider hill top, not just a point. I messed that part up when I showed making them but talked about it later.

Thanks for the video. I made up cauls out of hard wood about two inches thick and two and a half wide. (wood rescued from pallets) They are curved so the center is about a 1/4 inch taller than the ends. Drilled through them at the ends and installed long carriage 3/8" bolts instead of using clamps. The cauls are long enough to use on what might be a typical table top. Instead of tape, wax them heavily. I may drill more holes for bolts to keep the bolts nearer the edge of the work. If the bolts are too far out the pieces will arch and not touch in the center. they work great. Thanks for the great ideas.

I work in a reclaimed lumber mill and go through these steps many times a week in our fab shop, but I’ve gotta say that the way you explain the sequence of operations and the reasoning behind it all, is beautifully illuminating and fundamental. It’s pretty much a master class in a lot of ways. This should be a first stop for those initially wrapping their minds around the how and the why of turning raw (or poorly milled) lumber into straight, flat, useable boards.

Amazing tutorial! I have a few thick, 10’ rough cut Cypress boards that I planed and tried to get a straight edge with a DeWalt tracksaw... acclimating in my sunroom. Not happy with the edge and I’m so happy to see this large scale glue up! Really gives me the confidence and tool list to move forward. I’ve been searching for larger glue ups on KZfaq and nothing till now! So detailed. Love it!
@YouCanMakeThisToo 5 жыл бұрын
For something that size you’ll probably need to go to hand planes. When your pieces are that big it’s less about making them straight and more matching each board to each other. Stack them on edge, mark where they touch (high points), and plane those parts until they touch the whole way. This was just a 6’ glue up, but follow the principles (and use more clamps and cauls!) and you’ll have a good glue up!

Great set of tips! Another really useful one I saw somewhere (I think the Jords Wood Shop channel?) was for flattening a twisted board with an extreme cup. Instead of removing all the material from the top and bottom faces, leaving a very thin board, he struck a line along the peak of the cup, ripped the board on the bandsaw (safer than tablesaw for a warped board), jointed the bottom face and then the cut edges in the middle, then glued it back together before doing any further milling or flattening. Instead of removing a ton from the faces, he only removed a thin V sliver from the middle, preserving a lot of thickness.

Great video. You covered all the mistakes I made in my 10ft table. Haha. When talking about multiple milling sessions does this apply to kiln dried rough as well as air dried?
@YouCanMakeThisToo 3 жыл бұрын
Yes. If anything, more so to kiln dried. The accelerated drying can add tension.

When you make a caul, how much do you shave off so that it can pull down when you apply the clamps?

These were about 38” long, and the difference between the hill and the end was about 1/16”

When I have slight elevation differences after a glue up I use a hand plane to bring it down. I get a flatter more consistent surface than just using an orbital sander.

When I'm laying out my boards I alternate the heartwood facing of each board. If you have the heart of adjoining boards facing the same way it could exacerbate any cupping over time, alternating them will reduce that.

Sounds like you're talking about alternating the growth rings. I've heard that too but personally don't follow it and haven't had any issue.

I have never considered planing the cauls in the fashion you do and I think it’s brilliant. Definitely going to utilize it on my next table. My question is: I know you said you used cherry because it was extra, but I typically used a softer wood for my cauls. With your planing style, would you use a softer wood or stay more in the middle of the hardwoods -with something like cherry?
@YouCanMakeThisToo 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Depends on how “tall” your stock is. In my experience a soft wood bends, which ruins the idea of planing to get that pressure point. But, if it’s tall enough to resist the clamping force you can go softer. With a harder wood you can go smaller. Hope that makes sense.

I have used 2 strips of 3/4 fir plywood glued together to make a 1 1/2 thick caul. Its really stable and cheap. I have also used Baltic birch plywood, which I use in the shop so I always have scraps around.

Thanks so much for your instructional videos. You are so humble, clear, and calm. I learn a lot! I am wondering how long I need to let glued up boards dry before putting them through the thickness planer.
@YouCanMakeThisToo 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! It depends on what glue you’re using, check the label for the full dry time. For most typical wood glues, overnight is plenty of time to be safe to plane.

When I worked at sign shops we used to joint very long 8 quarter slabs by butting up two boards edges and connecting them with a scrap board on the ends. We then ran the connected boards butted seems right down the middle of the table saw blade. It might take two passes but the width of the straight blade makes a very straight joint.

That's pretty brilliant, basically does what I advise but in one swoop. Because they're cut together and at the time, you could inadvertently have all kinds of error but both boards would match up perfectly.

Hi, great video and thanks for the tips. I do have one question, I see many videos use pocket hole screws along with glue to hold the table top together. I noticed you didnt use pocket hole screws, is this something you are confident will hold such large boards using only glue? I have a table I am making soon and just looking for different and new says if trying things. Thanks.
@YouCanMakeThisToo 4 жыл бұрын
Done properly, glue is stronger than wood so there are no issues. And because of how they tend to pull.. I advise against pocket screws for a panel. That’s not what they’re designed for.

Your videos are just brilliant! Wish I'd known about them before now. Even so, you've helped me a lot. One wee bit of nit-picking though: When I was learning woodworking in high school in Scotland (long time ago) one of the first things I learned was, when putting my hand-plane down, I should lay it on its side thereby protecting the blade. Just sayin' :-D
