Nice .

Nice job... But I would like to see the whole process including the measurements in inches... look good... I want to make one like yours ... If I had the measurements of all the pieces I could build one..

Love the humor! Love the project.

Would be very cool if you can see the cluster in the cooler months to monitor the size.

Look great

Are there plans available for this canoe

Why can’t you just simply touch it heat it up and bend it ?

Do you heat the trex up to bend it ?

Not sure how to contact you in order to show you some photos I took of my attempt to build a bowlback mandolin up to the stage of actually gluing ribs across the bowl form, but meanwhile a big thank you for your posts, musings and instructions. Also made up a rib sanding jig the way suggested by you. Works like charm.

Do you think needing to add a riving in case kickback? Looks like it could get added if needed

I want to reinforce a banjo neck to straighten it. Now it is a bit hollow from nut to the pot. Is a carbon rod stiffer then steel or just smaller? I want to set the neck under tension after routering a groove and epoxy the rod then in. 5:12 Hope to get info before I start.

nice one. i couldnt justify a planer so im aiming to make somesort of jig to get planks nice and smooth. atm ive bought a table that fits and some 2020 extrusion ($80 for both). aiming to have something adjustable where i can run the planks over some runners and have the bench belt sander take a shaving off. problem is its a bench sander and getting that on its side or upside down is a pain, so im trying to work with gravity and top loading the wood somehow.

Love this. Did you keep the hive? Do you take on custom work? I have an idea for a Honeybee Observatory in Reno and would love to pick your brain some time.

Are you sure this isn’t a wooden flux-capacitor?

Love the jigs you made. Sound wood working/luthier practices with terrific results. Thank you.

What are the two blue-colored channels that you fixed to the underside of the plywood and how do the two guide fences get bolted to that channel? I see you've got some kind of bolts that presumably pass through holes that you've drilled in the guide fences, but how do those bolts fix the fences to the two blue channels?

Seems like it would be easier to cut the handles into the side pieces before assembly.

Looks nice

What glue did you use ?

Very good. I agree that with jigs the circular saw can be used for many tasks and mostly eliminate other saws. For example, I was making kitchen cabinets and was using a table saw for cutting the plywood. I made a table sled for that task and while I was able to get those big sheets cut, it was a monster chore, especially since I was using 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood, which is very heavy. Later on, I bought a rather expensive track saw system and discarded the use of the table saw almost completely. I do not regret buying that track saw, but I could had made my own jigs and probably saved well over $500. I bought a Mafell system which made Festool seem inexpensive. This was a few years ago when the big international companies were not making them yet (probably still under patent protection ).

I came here from The Musical Instrument Makers Forum. Great uke, beautiful wood and well built!

Brilliant

Found this while searching for a tray for myself. I hope to not need this wheelchair forever, but for now, i need a tray and/or other kinds of accessories. I'm very independant, and it's important to me to remain so! Im hoping to find a tray that can "snap on" to the existing chair arms, and can easily detach, swivel, flip up to one side, etc etc, but am not having much luck so far. I see trays on amazon that don't seem to have much in the way of directional movement. I don't have access to a shop with tools, or Id love to try my creativity.

That is clever. I’m going to make a wooden hinged box so thanks.

This was great!!

The best part is you have a CDC Ministry of Truth disclaimer on this video. This aged well. :thumbs-up:

Omg I literally jumped when he grabbed the iron. I fell for it.

Thank for making the circular saw the green headed step child. I will use this.

Nice job. I also like recycling wood and building custom jibs.

Very cool. Roughly what did it cost in materials?

Looks great. Are you still using Titebond3? Most luthiers still seem to prefer HHG, but when using Titebond, most go with 1 since the later suffer more from cold creep. I used Titebond 2 on a project, and it slowly pulled apart under tension over a year.

sending love ❤

Thanks, useful for me. Making a few myself :) Greetings!

is the cartridge heater better than the charcoal starter? what is a cartridge heater anyway? where do we get one?

Very pretty ☺️

I have the same fence.

Have you posted plans anywhere for your jig?

Very nice!!!

I'll be honest, I was really nervous when you were pushing the board through with your older head. Filming is a huge distraction and complacency in woodworking or in work takes a fraction of a second to change your life forever. How are you liking the head now that you've been using it for a while? I'm thinking about getting one.

You are a funny and accomplished guy! I am building that chair (the leg of which appears in the video) and I was thinking a portable spindle sander sure would be handy for those leg to seat transitions... Thank you for the video.

What size was your circular saw ? You said you were having issues with certain sizes of plywood

You are a pro ty great man

Very cool! 😎

Very very useful!!! The answer I have been looking for! Thank you!!

Sir your videos are awesome and unique! We would love to see more !

Just fell off my Chair laughing. Tons of great info, ideas and fun. Thank you for brightening my day👍

I'm gonna comment on all these videos......this guy is wearing a coat; it's cold......rubber hates freezing and thawing on a chemical level.....makes it hard.....if your shop is climate controlled at 70 degrees and you use your tools regularly then stick with rubber.....if not.....spring for the linked belt

Was it difficult to swap cutterheads. I'm about to try it myself

Hey! I am a classical mandolin player and i am trying to get as much information as i can so i can maybe build one someday. Your video helped me out a lot! I would love to see you keep going with this project! :D

Very nice. I need to resale some ipe for knife scales. Something similar but flipped would work. On my chop saw. .
