To lock the collar on the drill bitner. Simply file or grind a flat spot on the drillbit then setscrew will lock in place.

@BitnerBuilt Жыл бұрын

Good tip

@MH-qq3kj Жыл бұрын

Locktite makes many retaining compounds that would be excellent for the pocket hole bits and collars. Then if you break a bit, heat it up to break the locktite and save a collar.

@BitnerBuilt Жыл бұрын

That’s an awesome tip! Good thinking

@adambalm970 Жыл бұрын

I'm a fan of the Loctite 680 - it would be perfect in this application.

@RussPatton 11 ай бұрын

Also, Loctite or epoxy won't heat temper the bit and risk shortened life span.

I like your laid-back-ish presentation. Just conversational, and very informative. Just a gentle reminder, though, around the 10:46 mark - there are gals like me out here doing this, too, not just guys. Thanks for sharing all the tips. Have a great day! :)

Good tips thanks for sharing. I like the drill bit holder. If you drilled a hole next to drill pocket for that drill then you could use it to check what drill size to use for screw or bolt clearance and simply pick up the drill from that pocket and use it. It would also be useful to check the drill size for each pocket.

@cackleberryfarm4598 10 ай бұрын

That was some really good ideas that I have not seen before. I like that you were thinking outside the box(es) to solve problems that YOU have run into actually doing jobs. (Unlike SOOOOOOOOO many of these other "woodworker" channels that are rehashing each other's ideas.) I found some real gems in here. And if you are a woodworker/tinker/maker of stuffer, for as long as I have been, you know that you are ALWAYS looking for ways to "organize" (yeah right) your Shop. This was really good. Keep it up!!

You can get started in welding with a flux core welder which doesn’t require the gas tanks in your shop. Whole setup can be had for about $300 if you catch the right sales and shop at the right places for it. Harbor freight sells the Titanium easy flux 125 and Amazon has a brand called Yes Welder …both would be great starter welder setups. Even if you bought the whole rig and found that you hated welding, you could sell it and get most of your money back. KZfaq has some great vids on beginner flux core welding. Great woodworking tips in this video and you just earned yourself a sub 👍🏻

@BitnerBuilt Жыл бұрын

Awesome thanks Dewey! I actually went into Harbor freight a few weeks ago and was trying to ask about welders for a beginner set up and of course none of the guys working there. Have any clue about anything, definitely on my want to learn list!

@sklikizos Жыл бұрын

I just took a three night welding class at my local high school through my city's rec department. It covered stick, mig, TIG, plasma cutting and only cost 50 bucks and unlimited materials. I got to try out different machines and processes and that alone was invaluable in selecting the welder I bought, not to mention the nearly 50 years experience of the old-timer teacher who I learned from. My only regret is not pestering him to teach me oxyacetylene brazing and welding. Each process has its strengths and weaknesses so to me it was really important to understand those things and be equipped to use the appropriate method when possible.

A great video! I am in the Hudson Valley area of New York. I have his 600 square-foot three car garage that I use as a shop. My biggest challenge is I have so much stuff that I am constantly organizing and re-organizing. With that said, it is fairly organized and I think I have put together some decent ideas on how to set things up. Would love to have you come and take a look at.

Good tips. My adds... Collar slippage... been there! My fix is to use two back-to-back... never had them slip after. Work mats... I have a silicon soldering station mat I use. Resists heat, has the little cubbies to hold stuff and several even have imbedded magnets to hold small nuts/bolts/screws in place.

About leveling for an epoxy pour--why not just level your assembly table once and for all, then you don't have to worry about it? Useful tips--thanks.

@BitnerBuilt Жыл бұрын

I do a lot of larger epoxy things when I do it, for example a countertop. So the only thing in my shop that would be large enough to level for that is my large assembly table but that’s on casters and I move it around a lot, it would have to stay put and never move for that to work. People who do epoxy all the time with big workflows, have dedicated leveled tables. So I came up with a easy solution for myself and others who just don’t have the space for that. Thanks!

To catch small parts when I'm disassembling electronics or small machinery I put down small carpet pieces, often sold as cheap door mats. I get a few 16" x 20" whenever I see them such as at IKEA for about $1.50 each.
