I absolutely adore this retrofit! I have an old Tradesman brand table saw that predates riving knives that I bought from a retired woodworker for a steal. It uses this old style trunion/splitter setup (or at least that seems to be what google calls it). But I have been thinking about whether I could just build my own riving knife mount for the blade assembly. Will definitely use this as the basis for it. I'm wondering if it could be possible to make the riving knife easily adjustable/extendable to try and solve the issue you highlighted at the end associated with the raising and lowering of the blade being based on tilt.

Nice work, I'm impressed

Interesting.

The music is horrible, but you did such an amazing job! Very nice work, on the video and the piece. It's a work of art. Much gratitude for sharing this with us.

10:10 ok he needs new push sticks as well. But this video is 4 years old so if he still has all his fingers intact he probably got som longer sticks by now.

Anyone know where I can get some of those drill press clamps at the 4:00 mark?

I think you mentioned that you read your comments so heres a little story for you, though it's nothing compared to the story you have shared building with all of us! ... I cut my first dovetails in the first few months after graduating college, obviously I did not study woodworking. I started with Japanese saw that I still use to this day. In the few years of my woodworking career I cut hundreds of dove tails making boxes for people, always trying to make a fancier drawer, or a better knob.... I landed a job with a renowned chair-maker here in Asheville, 3 years later I went back on my own now with serious draw knife and spokeshave and card scraper skills, now I have found my own superniche which allows me to push my craft. And now! with inspiration from you I get to push at a whole new level...kinda like the 4 minute mile phenomenon. Thank you for posting these videos.

How the f could youtube hide this channel all these years wtf i’m pissed

I very much enjoyed watching all three of your toolbox videos. It is indeed a complex build and way beyond my skill level but I did learn a few things by watching this. Greetings from Cairns, Australia.

This model of Narex chisels are NOT intended for fine woodworking the same way as a lathe gouge is not intended for carving. I don't see the point here.

Smart solution. You are very close to the solution for these old Unisaws. Still, the blade has to always be at the same high as the knife. Thanks for the video. Gave me an idea of what to do.

Nice work!

The single fact that you still have both hands and all ten fingers, dead blow me.

Thanks for the video. It's very pleasant to watch.👍

Was His voice altered

I’m impressed with your engineering skills, though I do suggest you invest in a metal lathe if you’re serious about producing metal objects of beauty. I had a look at your site. Quite impressive-your artistic skills, I mean. I wish you all the best in your creative endeavours!

Gotta say....well executed concept. I have two sets like this that I kind of thought about making into tool boxes, but your video really cemented that idea for me. Good job!

This is an amazing mallet. Brilliant execution and a fancy jacket.

That’s awesome 👏 😮

I gotta say it. Bravo to you. Keep up the good work. I loved the innovation. My favorite part has gotta be the hammer and anvil trick to calibrate tool. Seriously not joking or being sarcastic. That was awesome. Hit the like guys. I wanna see more cool shit. 😂

Subscribed! 😊

Hey u did a great job. Can't say I would r known how to do that lol 😆

Amazing to watch..warmest regards from a Warm to Hot Country & a continent ...Sydney Australia🥰😍

Sound like you wear pink shirts

Very nice , i did something similar except i started with a full blank of curly hard maple , but i made the London pattern , which is octogon or hexagone one of them lol cuz it always pisses me off when my screwdiver rolls of my bench !!

I really can’t stand when content creators use the “virtual tinnitus” like at 7:55. All it does is exacerbate my tinnitus and give a quick +50bpm to my heart from remembering how it happened (hitting an IED in Iraq). Thanks for the unnecessary PTSD before bedtime. Edit: I did enjoy the other 99% of it (including the skit at the end, lol)

Well, that's a cool build and explanation. Thanks for sharing.

Just found you. Impressive work. Liked and subscribed. Off to look at your website.

Love the music

Whaaaaaa. So impressive

Not online Great work but also a technical Master Piece an esthetically beutifull

The buttons fell off my shirt. But no more! Now I have overalls. This was a very enlightening video. Thank you.

You are a really good woodworker . Just found your content. As a carpenter myself, your skills är amazing

Really like your belt sanding jig for initial shaping of the cutting blade. Nice video... thanks for sharing!

Nice work. I like your music as well. Have a good day

Nice strapon for that hammer

So impressive!

What’s the music in the video

That's rad!

This is one of the most overcomplicated, ridiculous and niche things I've ever seen. It took ages to build and is only marginally more effective than just buying a cheap dead-blow hammer. I love it! It's beautiful, effective, well thought-out (wonderful testing montage btw), lovely finish. The only thing that I'm less than enthusiastic about is the way the leather is attached, but I can see why it was done that way and there's nothing wrong with it! I need to get my hands on some wood so I can finish a few of the projects I have in mind...

This video is quite helpful. I just acquired a Stanley 19, and your video helped me visualize better how it all fits together. Problem I’m having: Set screw is very loose and wobbly until/unless it is screwed all the way down. Once it is, the screw head is then so low, I can’t get the cap to catch on it. Back it out, the cap catches and clicks shut, but entire assembly then woggles all over the place (because screw is wobbly if not tightened all the way to the bottom). Did you have any similar issue? Doesn’t look like it. Wondering if it’s the wrong screw, but where would I find specs to find out? Sigh.

Beau travail! Intéressant de te voir à l'oeuvre

I don’t even know what to say. Your work is beautiful, elegant, smart and I love the passion you bring to your builds.

I would love to find some kind of cabinet like this

That is bloody amazing. I say good by to tin Kazoos. How do i get one of these? Please conntact me.

Great video, I definitely subscribed. Though, I'm pretty sure the straight part of the chisel is there on purpose because for most people most of the time its useful having a straight edge. Of course its in the way of dovetailing, but that is a very specific type of work, that requires a specific tool.

BS Aluminum will turn just fine

Are you able to fit the crystal back in without using a hot glue?

😭😭This is a content I have always been looking for. I love it.

Anybody can build a standard handle. And a lot can design a complex handle. But the talent is in taking the design and actually making it. Now I'm inspired! And I love the music and commentary. Addenda: so it's overly complicated. If you're happy with it, what else matters. (And yes, I know the difference between "because it is cool" and "how to make this in a production run." "Not this way, obviously."
