Our “Cutting and Handling Plywood” video has stirred up a massive amount of interest, thanks to you good folks. That video concentrates on how to USE our cutting grid, and a good many people asked how to MAKE it - specifically our unique knock-down sawhorses. Furthermore, many requests came from DIY people who don't necessarily have a well-equipped woodworking shop. So Nick came up with a way to build the cutting grid with nothing more than a circular saw, a hand-held drill, and a few hand tools! Here’s how, step by step.
Additionally, we’ve revised our plans for the cutting grid to show these new techniques, along with detailed drawings for the simple jigs Nick has invented to accomplish them. You can find these improved plans and drawings in the Workshop Companion General Store at workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... . Those of you who have already purchased these plans will be sent the updated version free.

I'm an expat American living in Indonesia. After 12 years I've learned a lot about how much ingenuity is underrated. There are no big box stores in every small town. I recently went to a tool store in the big city looking for a table saw. They knew what it was but didn't sell any. I was given the suggestion of buying a skill saw and making my own table saw or an electric motor and then I could make any number of shop tools. Of course I knew this was an option but wanted to recreate my shop back in the USA. I really appreciate tutorials like this because after living in America for half a century I was totally locked in to the materialistic /consumer/ disposable culture. It's been a real eye opener watching the ingenuity of workers on construction sites to kids making huge kites with the most rudimentary tools. I've seen KZfaq videos of guys making very large ocean going boats with not much more than an axe and a handsaw. Need a hole? Heat up a nail and burn it. Need a hacksaw? No need to buy the entire saw just the blade. I've seen kids stitch up a 1 meter by two meter polyester kites using sticks of incense and incredible multi story scaffolding from bamboo. I would really recommend everyone if you get a chance to travel to developing countries try to watch how people use their brains to accomplish what we can only do with our credit cards.

There is an old-but-mostly-forgotten tradition among woodworkers. Prior to the nineteenth century, an apprentice cabinetmaker would make his own set of woodworking tools under the guidance of a master cabinetmaker. Often, the apprentice completed his apprenticeship by fashioning an artfully designed tool chest to hold these hand-made tools. Both the tools and the chest attested to his skills and enticed potential clients and patrons. Unfortunately, both the apprenticeship system and the need to make your own tools evaporated with the Industrial Revolution, but the tradition is still echoed in the modern woodworker's fascination with jigs and fixtures. At their heart, these are shop-made tools fashioned out of necessity, economy, and ingenuity. To me, these embody not only the history but the essence of craftsmanship.

I built the cutting grid using steel saw horses like the ones you showed in the video. I did add the loading arms. Since I don't have a huge amount of room inside my workshop, I usually set the grid up on the patio just outside my shop. This also avoids the sawdust that my dust collector doesn't manage to suck up. Since I'm down here in Florida, I can do this all year long. The grid has made things a lot easier on my knees and back. Great design!

I'd already made the cutting grid as I had the same folding steel sawhorses you showed in the original plywood handling video. (Surprisingly heavy sawhorses I might add.) Still, despite not needing these knockdown horses, I watched this video and am astounded at the mind that came up with the collection of scrap jigs, and the process to achieve the necessary cuts. I rather wish I had you and William Ng as neighbors on either side.

I'm happy with the easy to fold and stow sawhorses I made a few years ago, but I'm going to add Nick's excellent idea of notched 2x6 top rails so I can stand, instead of lay, the sacrificial 2x4 stringers across the sawhorses, giving much greater stiffness to my cutting surface. Thanks, Nick!

This cutting table is a great idea, so I bought the plans, but I made some modifications. The height of the working surface would be too low for me. First, i made the legs 3" longer and reduced the 15 degree angle to 13 degrees so the longer legs would not stick out to far. Still quite low, so instead of notching the 2x8 to receive the 2x4 spans, i added 2x4 sections, on edge on top of the 2x8, creating the gaps to hold the 2x4 spans, and thereby adding 3.5 more inches to the height. The 2x4 sections are attached with deeply countersunk screws so there is no risk of running a saw blade through them. The pivot point for the loading arms is moved up to the added 2x4. This modification has the following advantages: 1) increased working height 2) dont have to cut the notches 3) the working layer can be easily replaced if it gets cut up too much 4) the swing arms can be swung up and over to run compactly along the length of the 2x8 making for easier transport and storage.

For drilling square to a surface, simply smooth out a bit of aluminum foil on said surface. If the drill bit and the reflection of the drill bit are in line with each other, the hole will be square.
@WorkshopCompanion
@WorkshopCompanion Жыл бұрын
Good tip, except for one plane. If you tilt the bit directly back or toward you, the reflection will remain in line with the bit, even though the bit is angled to the surface.

Hopefully this helps those without those exotic tools! My alarm went off! One year ago today, you put out a video regarding drying lumber, and that it needed to sit for one year. Well, today is that day, one year later. I really look forward to seeing the video regarding this topic as I have been drying mine right along with you. As always, thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for the kind words, and I hate to disappoint, but I doubt that you sold your shop right along with me. We are in the middle of moving out of one shop and building another, so we're severely limited in what we can do. When we get more settled, I'll unpack the lumber that has been drying.

I made one of these after your first video and I use it for everything. I also drilled some dowels into one side of the rails and sharpend them with a pencil sharpener and it's perfect for spraying paint. And a drying frame, love the channel you have some fantastic ideas

The world is full of failed crappy furniture, a source for single, dual, or triple use sheet material (almost always veneered particle board) for the base of those jigs. Craigslist turns up amazing stuff in the "Free" section of items for sale hour by hour. Also, Nick, I figure on using considerably lighter weight material for your design and anticipate no problems if those materials have their defects in non-critical locations and less than ton is stacked on top at a time. Love your videos. Thank you for posting them.
