I Found The Best of British Tools and Organised Them in a Giant Foam Wall Display!

Күн бұрын

You've seen me travel to Germany and the USA to find quirky and innovative tools and organise them into Shadow Foam, but a question I am asked a lot... what about the British tool brands?
This week, I travelled down to Lumberjack Tools in Wolverhampton, to check out their massive tool range, find the gems, and create for them my most ambitious tool storage project yet! It is a mental build, with a brilliant British brand, check out the video and let me know what British brands I should cover next!
Big thanks to Jade and the team at ‪@lumberjacktoolsuk‬ for supplying the tools and being such generous hosts! Go visit their showroom in Wolverhampton, or failing that, check out their tool range (with discount code SHADOW FOAM) at www.lumberjacktools.co.uk

Lumberjack seem to have really expanded over the last few years, great to see them doing so well.

@thomasbroker69 Ай бұрын

lol great job on the display, my tip would be :for the mitres you’d have been better off cutting it by hand, good fine saw & you wouldn’t need any filler, it’s small beading so probably faster then the circular saw anyways & just use a good wood glue, no need for the fast super glue stuff. Love the brand , never heard of them before, the table saw looks awesome as does that nifty clamp horse thing, I might go check that out right now, thanks for another fab video, you are the foam cutting master!

Those LumberJack tools look super value for money. I am sorted for Cordless Drills and Impacts, etc but If I was starting out and needing a full set I think these would be hard to beat. I like the blade cover on the table saw - watch various folk on KZfaq using their saws and I can't help imaging as they are leaning over pushing the wood just one slip of the foot (easily done) making them flip forward and a saw right in the face 😨😨 . Maybe it's never happened, but who knows!

First saw Lumber Jack at Maker’s Central last year, they had some really nice gear there, boys got some hats & turns out my dad already owned I think the little corded detail sander but treated himself to a router bit set at the show. My Parkside tools are starting to show the strains of use so these will be going on my list of potential replacements. As a spark I suppose you should really try and do C.K. But would also love to see Eclipse they’re are definitely quality tools been my go to for coping & hacksaws for over 20years.

@damienwright2483 3 күн бұрын

Love your videos, I have a suggestion though, maybe your first layer of foam should be black, so the colour in the deep cuts don't exaggerate the gaps around the tools, then have the coloured foam underneath so whatever colour you choose is only visible when the tool is removed. I notice details, and it tickles my OCD seeing colour around the outside of the tools, I just feel that black would look better 😂 That with added coloured inserts on the logos. I'm gonna try that with the foam I got delivered today.

@thesesh5629 Ай бұрын

@@ShadowFoam well I bought the cheaper 10 inch table saw and it was just a bit cheaply made, not quite accurate enough, fence not staying square, the table has a bulge which I am yet to fix. But it was a budget table saw for 170 so….. can’t really complain. The saw blade though is awesome, really nice clean cut, buttery smooth

@worstuserever Ай бұрын

Only discovered Lumberjack when shopping for my first table saw, got the TS254SE and can't complain for the price. Top is just pressed steel, and fence a bit basic, as expected for a budget model, but nothing rickety or flimsy about the overall build. The riving knife / blade guard assembly design choices are a bit puzzling, and I see they've mostly repeated these with the TS1800. The supplied riving knife stands higher than the blade, so has to be removed for non-through cuts, or when using over the top accessories such as a sled, which I often do. I fabricated a replacement riving knife instead from some scrap steel scavenged at work. I know I'll upgrade within a few years but this saw has handled everything so far and I enjoy using it. I'm still getting the hang of woodworking, while struggling to develop a dozen other maker skills at the same time, so I've no business critiquing anyone else's work. I might have tried adding a small roundover to the edges, and maybe a dark stain or varnish? The display itself looks fantastic, especially that logo.

LMAO that was the same vibes I got when I saw the prices on their site because I have never heard of the brand and I am British but I do regularly frequent Aldi and look at the tools they have in the middle aisles. I have never bought power tools from Aldi but I have bought some hand tools (I use Makita LXT power tools). Also Lumber Jack's site does not tell you as far as I am aware if the tools are brushless or not and if they're that cheap they got to have the brushes in them. All my cordless Makita tools are brushless except an orbital sander because Makita doesn't sell brushless orbital sanders but I did hear from some random youtuber who found leaks of future Makita tools and patents that they are working on brushless cordless sanders

People would just add own text on the default locations of text on your label.
