Well done Robin. The table looks very nice. (I'm not sure how something that large and thin will last outside). The 4 hours is "education". I think the quoted price sounded reasonable for both parties. Thanks for the vid. Cheers David

I thought it was a great video. Yes it’s an easier build as far as projects go but I find it fascinating about how long things actually take. There are few videos that look at actual times and costings. The new wall as a video back drop looks good also. 👍

What I don't see a lot of woodworkers do is provide a breakdown of their "profit" into overhead costs etc. So how much of that 780 dollars goes to saving up to eventually replace old tools and machines? How much do you really get to profit otherwise eventually in 5 years you'll have to replace the tablesaw and if you don't account for it dying on you in your earlier projects then you suddenly have a huge loss during a project as well.
@RobinLewisMakes7 күн бұрын
It’s a really good point but I think it’s a luxury for a lot of new makers. I’m using the deposit of my current job to pay off debt from a previous job, so the thought of saving for the future isn’t even possible. But eventually the work will (cross fingers) be regular enough that future expenses can be accounted for

Awesome video! Thanks for doing the business side of things too! Have you thought of a track saw for those long cuts? Also where can we watch the videos you did for Bosch and their tools?
@RobinLewisMakes7 күн бұрын
Thanks! Track saw is on the list, will likely go that route before getting a table saw. All of the Bosch videos are on my Instagram

Robin, I've struggled with twisted, bowed, and/or cupped lumber when milling for 10 foot long glue ups. It was educational seeing your approach. That massive tabletop turned out beautifully. I also enjoyed your recap of the business side. Nice vid!

Robin, I think you did a great job making a “boring” job entertaining. Have you considered a couple small chain hoists attached to the ceiling? Seems like they would be a back/project saver. Keep it up buddy!

Hi, used to build traditional wooden bows. I think on technique you are missing is “working” the wood into shape. Flexing the wood back and forth around the shape allows the fibers to compress. We work bows where the wood “learns” to flex without steam or heat. With steam that process goes faster.
@RobinLewisMakes29 күн бұрын
That’s interesting! I haven’t heard that yet, I’ll give it a go the next time I do any steaming. Thanks

should the glue be special? because what I know is that, glue is different for baby products, since they may fume formaldehyde..

Hi from Brisbane Robin. Australian timbers need much more steaming because they are denser and more hydrophobic than US and European timbers. I like the idea of using Tas Oak (VIC Ash) for furniture projects too.

Lol this is less then one inch he says then used mm ,,,,its like 4 mil thick ..... good way to confuse people use both metric and standard together lol .....i like inches myself but i guess not everyone knows how to use fractions ,,, 3/16ths plus 1 and 5/8ths is just to hard for most to add or subtract i guess lol.....

Nailheads were important for the look you wanted? Interesting, only time I really consider nailheads as a design features are cut nails or forged nails. Hmmm maybe some shiny round finish nails could be worthwhile, in certain situations.
