Great book for a beginner . kzfaq.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.

I always amazed at the brave steps you take in completing a project, like hammering in the offcut blocks into the gap left by the shorter workpiece. I wouldn't have trust in myself to make that trick work.

I just made about 10 chopping boards with my off-cuts which I distressed, blowtorched, stained and oiled and then gave away to friends and family. They’ve gone down an absolute storm which was surprising given my abilities lol

A great video. I have so many worktop offcuts that I keep from ripping out kitchens and making kitchens and I think I might put them to use now. I love your food safe wax and I use it on every chopping board that I make. I am glad that you have them in tins now as I still have some from when you sold them in jars and they can be a bit of a pain to get the wax out in the winter. I use a hairdryer to heat it and let it drip out 😂

I'm glad you told us it was for a Kitchen Island. I thought.. man you could get a whole beast on that top. Just by chance, I have just about finished three reasonable sized boards of Acacia. Same deal, made from Staves. Fortunately Acacia comes in quite a lot of varieties so lots of contrast. The board came from a friend who has just put in a new Kitchen. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your Beloved.

Done pretty much the same, but smaller size (295mm x 270mm x 25mm) to make end grain cutting boards. Six strips of the oak off cut and an 8mm width of walnut between the first, third and fifth glue-up joint. For the finish I just use mineral oil. They look great, very practical and are relatively easy to make.

The author does like to from scratch, kzfaq.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

@christianp3388 Жыл бұрын

Matthias Wandel had a great idea recently for easily spacing things from an edge like you're dong with the track saw track. Rather than the jig you've used here that pushes on the front of the track, make two narrower versions of them with a long "arm" that goes just over top of the track and past the backside with a block at the end attached to the underside. Position each jig at the ends of the track and the blocks will catch the backside of the track as you push the track AWAY from the edge. Check out Matthias' recent video "Dresser build" starting at 5:22 for a visual of how it works. It'd also be easy enough to make this sort of thing adjustable and reusable.

@lewisalexander Жыл бұрын

A great video and I love how you describe your workflow, as a blind woodworker, detail is in what you describe. I have a question for you. You mentioned the new Milwaukee cordless belt sander. Any chance of either a review on this or share your thoughts on what you think of it, it's strengths, weaknesses, etc? I've gone purely cordless throughout to avoid falling over cables / air hoses again, so I'm looking for certain solutions to particular challenges. Don't know if you've heard about one of the recent cordless polishers from Milwaukee, might be something to consider for high sheen polishing / friction polishing. I've used mains polishers in the past after sanding and coating and as long as you have some good mops / pads, you can get a beautiful feeling surface. Do you tend to stick to a certain brand of cordless tools or are you open to particular other brands? You mentioned your current track saw, which if I'm right is a plunge saw, they're limited to about 50mm unless it's a festool, but have a look at bosch's GKS18v-68GC which is a rail compatible saw, I love it to bits as a rail saw and yes I also use the GKT18v52GC, they make my life so much easier for sheet and other material processing. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

@RagnBoneBrown Жыл бұрын

Thank you! The belt sander seems pretty good although I've only used it once, I'd like to try it out with some different belts as the ones I bought by Trend don't fit particularly well, so I found them annoying as they were not quite wide enough. I'll probably talk about it more in future once I've spent some more time with it. I use Milwaukee, Makita and Ryobi batteries in the workshop and Bosch Green for garden tools. They've all been great. I've not tried the Milwaukee polisher but it looks very nice. Happy Christmas!

@lewisalexander Жыл бұрын

@@RagnBoneBrown trying to think of who to recommend for belts, if I find the size for that machine and suppliers I'll send you a link when I get chance. I'd never use trend abrasives. speaking of, I'll take a gander at the M abrasives you recommended. I rely on Bosch Professional only, though recently Fein ampshare, so I trust these brands with my life. I'm picky about what I use and no more gas nailers. I'm thinking about milwaukee for a brand, what's your experience with them for warranty / service?

@RagnBoneBrown Жыл бұрын

Thanks. Milwaukee sponsor my channel so I have a different kind of relationship with them than someone who buys their tools so difficult for me to comment on their customer service
