Some people say their first coat on the canvas is a 50/50 mix of glue and paint. Have you tried that? I also heard that Titebond 3 will not stick to it's self when it is dry. Thoughts?

I just watched your "Rotary Tool Review" & clicked this off the end of that. Talk about a labor of love..... yes it is, lovely.

Yes, dremels & other rotary tools are game changers on many jobs & I used them extensively doing antique repair/carving for those antiques. At one time I looked up dental rotary tools b/c I knew they hung up using just a shaft & I wanted a variable speed motor w/ a 4-5 foot shaft on it. This was in the early 80's when my family had a Shop where we stripped/refinished old furniture. Cool that they sent you one, I've been needing one again so I'm watching. Thanks for the review, peace.

Solid Review Adrian seems like a great cordless option at a great price so you don’t recommend this for DIY root canals 😂. Nice work

Really nice I love the hexagons

Really great build. I love details and how functional it is. You should be very proud.

Excellent craftsmanship and so imaginative. Like many other comments here, I wonder where the response from KZfaq is?! It's not worth looking into my crystal ball, it has ground fog, but I think that will change for the better very soon... Best regards from good old Germany😎👍

I never tried temu... but aliexpress. Often when you order there is pictures you can press. Then there is options. Like 230v vs 120v. Or inch vs mm

Thank s I so your work weary nice

I just installed my four bagger and put 4" hard pipe to my machines, plus an auto start makes things so much easier. Pop in if you are out this way Adrian.

Awesome work, nice to see things getting recycled. A wee word of caution Adrian, I have seen kickbacks when using pad type pushers, push sticks give a little more distance from blades with practice they give good control.

I think a lot of this stuff is stolen tech, R+D cost money, and if the Chinese factory can just steal the design from their customer, the factory can save money allowing them to sell for less. If you are into stolen products I understand there are a lot of name brand tools that have been stolen from the big box stores available for a discount from side walk “stores” in the LA and SF area.

Wow! That's amazingly well done, Adrian! What a beautiful coffee table. Very innovative!

Thank you for the less talking and more showing. You created a work of art. Keep up the great work.

Ok so I totally understand you and what you’re doing. It’s called Artwork absolutely beautiful and I agree with the comments above this only has 39 views after 4 hours and that is ridiculous. I don’t have a large following quite the opposite but I’m sharing you as an under followed woodworker

Ok ok ok..... Did you actually design the inside height of the table to fit your trim router? If you did, that genius. If you didn't, that's on hell of a happy accident. You've been crushing it with your builds lately 👍 Seriously, why the hell is YT no pushing your videos?

Twenty views and Zero comments in two hours!? Your subscribers should be ashamed of themselves. That is an awesome coffee table. way too high class for a college kid. lol. I love the removable access for the electronics inside. Now we all know where he will be hiding his stash. lol

How do I know you’re not American? ………You didn’t paint your boat as a huge USA flag. Haha I’m Canadian and that makes me laugh.

Great job.

It's been worth it to me. I got a 1980's Rockwell table saw and a 14" Delta band saw from marketplace over the last few months and the only thing I had to do was to polish the tabletop of the table saw as it was coated in surface rust. The band saw was made right around the year 2000 but looked like it just came off the showroom floor. The thing still had the manual and a spare set of cool blocks in its original bag. In the future I will tear down the table saw to give it a good cleaning and possibly replace its bearings as, while everything works on it, it's a little stiff turning the control knobs and while the belt works fine for now, it is showing signs of beginning to crack from age. And since I'm going to be inside it anyway, why not change out the bearings. I gave $200 for the table saw and $430 for the band saw. The guy was asking $450 but gave me $20 back because he said I seemed like a nice guy and wasn't trying to haggle with him. I said, "Well, when I see a price, I figure that's what they want so that's what I pay if I want it. If they're asking more than what I want to spend, I just look elsewhere."

Lindo diseño pero no me gustaron las plantas como se desarrollaron

This video is very necessary for everyone, me too, in fact

Great work. I'm jealous. In my next life I want to learn how to turn wood.

Alter hör auf bitte grausam mit deinem Deutschen Akzent

So interesting. Looking forward to seeing what you are going to make with it.

Glückwunsch zu diesem Schnapper, hätte ich auch gerne mitgenommen....👍👍👍

Quite interesting, Adrian!

I work on the False Creek Ferries at Grandville Island. Our boats use a roll up canvas that have a transparent panel at the viewing level. The whole "door" rolls up and is secured by a snap buckle, or on the smaller ferries, a twist fastener is used and the canvas is removed in good weather. Just Google: False Creek Ferries and click on Images. You will see lots of pictures of the arrangements. Have fun deciding on a method for your mini boat!

Killer finds, and great restorations. Now to spend $600 to swap out those straight knives to a helical head (and still be up $1200 over buying new)

You have a great advantage in that you know how to restore all that equipment. So awesome! Also....I see that lathe...🤩🤩🤩

Most of my bigger tools were used and bought through FB, garage sales, or estate sales. Like you said, a little bit of elbow grease and you’ve got some awesome tools!

Excellent video! I think I'm going to do the same!

Loved your testing and effort. Have a question about the ironing. Is the glue set before you start forming and smoothing or still wet or tacky? Interested in what if any hurdles you had with that. I’m building props for my kids marching band that need something like this to stand up to high schoolers.

wow, that art work looks amazing! thanks for the tutorial!

I only have two things to say to this video. 1: How is it that you had never heard of Banggood? They predate Temu by several years and are virtually synonymous with Alibaba and AliExpress. 2: Honestly, I appreciate the closing comments in this video just as much as, if not more than, the actual intended content of the video. Very well said.

If there is no plywood to 12:17 minimized weight, will paint canvas hold up a dome shape structure? Wonder how PMF can hold up uv?

Is it possible to make a 2-story? Or perhaps a 3-story?

22:02 nice

Great video. Lots of detail in each buy. I have used TEMU several times this past year & found a few item as unused junk, however most items work well (As a garage woodworker). If I were to use an item daily, I would buy with quality in mind.

Ordered some good stuff from banggood, among others a fantastic soldering iron, but it is pretty hit or miss sometimes so it's good to research before

I order from Banggood since 2020 . 4 out of 5 times I am very satisfied. Only two times purchases really disappointed me because of poor quality. First time, Banggood refused any settlement as the product was as described - and description did not say anything about quality. Second time, Banggood refunded me. Descriptions for my purchases were always accurate yet eventually not always complete :) . One thing to consider, especially when you purchase products with "consumables" as saw blades: it may be hard to get spare parts. So, if you hope to get spare parts, maybe focus on some "local" brand. But things like rulers, clamps, fences, miters, etc. all have been bought from Banggood and are of very good quality. Also, maybe not buy the cheapest version at Banggood, since also they have differences in quality reflecting in the price.

Thank you for the review! I build for part of my job and for a hobby and I have always been Leary on internet overseas purchases and it is nice to have a second opinion. Also, thank you your comment at the end. It gets tiring listening to people who are offended that you don't have the same believes as they do. Love your channel!

I'd do a clear and/or white corrugated roof so you can fold up two 4x8 foot sheets for transportation. Then for the walls you can do a roll up tarp, ideally a clear and opaque layer so you can still see while driving in poor weather and have privacy when needed. I would do the same for the doors, but give them three layers an opaque, a clear and a mesh layer so you can have ventilation with bug protection at the front and back. Love the modular design!

great looking job

I can’t believe how awesome that turned out! Amazing job

Banggood is similar to Amazon, a big mail order conglomerate that's, "HiT -n- Miss" on the quality side but prices are generally decent. I've bought a Watch Tool for taking backs off to change batteries & a Jewelry tester to detect fake diamonds/stones plus a digital jeweler's scale that adds up what you have from 6kt - 24kt gold. The scale was very nice but the Watch Tool was kinda flimsy & felt cheap. The stone tester works so I guess it good. All of these were inexpensive so I can't complain. Also I bought some fishing items ; hooks, swivels, ect.... the hooks were not very sharp but everything was cheap, money wise and the quality but they're are like Amazon so you can get some good quality things but sending stuff back to China might be more of a hassle than it's worth? Overall they were middle of the road but all was in one place. Thanks for your review. I had forgot about these guys but now I'm gonna LQQK again. peace

Excellent job on both the review and your closing comments Adrian. I look forward to your future videos.... Joe

I have one of those dowel jigs but have never used it before. Thanks for the review!

About those round sanding discs there are some moments to consider. Firstly the sandpaper is not as good as a quality one that costs more. But, more important than this is that some of them are just cut from large sheet. So, many of the disks have no gritt number. That makes them almost useless.

Good comparison video and excellent commentary at the end. I have no issue buying Chinese-made products. Most Western brands are made in China, so why not buy Chinese brands? If the price and quality are right, it makes sense. The hand planes I buy (here in Australia) are from an Australian brand but are made in China. I buy them instead of going to the source manufacturer because of warranty support. If it has a problem I can just go back to the shop I bought it at instead of having to ship it back to China. Just watch the Chinese car manufacturers over the next 5-10 years. They will end up just as good quality as anything made in the US, Japan or Korea, but at a better price point. They're not there yet, but they will be. The main concern I have about the likes of Temu, Banggood and AliExpress is where a product is clearly an identical copy of a different brand, effectively theft of the IP. That's not OK.
