I did a magic trick at 5:34 (it's just a hole made with a drill, there's nothing special to see)

I looked at the product and I think I understand what you mean. I think you can solve the problem with a simple doweling jig like this one in the link, maybe modified for your needs. It's not something in my skills, try asking for help in some forum of the sector or in some fb group that deals with the subject. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqmopYuinsSgmbMsi=t2TVOHBrbvFl7xmd

@@LTMS thank you

thank you

Thank you

Every band saw is different... the length is from the edge of the shelf to the blade, the width does not matter, how much you like it. You will hardly find the precise measurements in my videos, I give an idea that must be adapted to your needs, which are different for each person.

I didn't film the construction of the dust collector, I took inspiration from this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6maipmdlLWahJIsi=LIzyUtWxlOoememB

I wanted to assemble it this way because I saw that the trend is to use the nail gun. I used fir wood (much more common than pine here) for the legs and sides of the planters, the panel slats are in larch. Thank you for your kind thoughts and interest, I appreciate it.

At room temperature it's fine, also because if it's very cold it's more difficult to apply

Thanks to you for your appreciation

@@LTMS Thanks!

I use neatsfoot oil when I dye a piece of leather to soften it because the alcohol dye hardens it a bit. I haven't thought about putting it in the conditioner but it could be fine, you can try with a small amount and see how you like it. Thank you very much for supporting the channel and I'm happy if you can learn something from my videos. Don't think that I'm an encyclopedia because I have little experience in leatherworking, for me it's just a hobby

Thanks to you for your appreciation and support

Glad to have inspired you, thanks for letting me know

I don't usually give exact measurements of what I build because everyone has different needs and tools of different sizes. I try to give an idea and inspire people. In the case of this jig the only fixed measurement is the distance between the front edge and the blade (which varies on each different saw brand), the width doesn't matter and can vary even by an inch. Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm glad you liked it, TFW

He his the boss :)

I didn't film the build because it was a dremel drill press and I didn't know if I could turn it into a leather press. It has several flaws that I need to fix, but overall I'm pretty happy with the result. Maybe I'll make a video of it someday.

I'm glad to hear that you appreciate it. Thanks for the support and for the kind thoughts.

@@4legdfishman thanks to you for the appreciation and for the support to the channel. I'm glad to hear that you liked it.

The best method is always to avoid using the fence and cut freehand.

@@LTMS Correct. If the piece needs to be accurate, use a planer (for example) to true it up after cutting it fairly close on the bandsaw.

There are really many causes for blade drifting, I personally try to use the fence as little as possible

@LTMS I use roller fence and eyeball the cut line .

On larger band saws there is that feature, here it is not. The 2 top screws are just assembly screws. I consider this a minor flaw for such a cheap product that overall I am very satisfied with.

Thanks for your appreciation, as you saw in the first part of the video it is quite simple to draw it for your needs. I thought it was more complicated, instead with the paper model I managed to get an idea of ​​how it would come out.

I'm glad you liked it, thank you

It’s supposed to be parallel to the slot in the table.

@@melgross No it isn't either, you set it to the blade by making a cut after the blade is adjusted and tensioned.

No you don’t. The blade is first set to the slot, then the fence is set to the slot. You loosen the table screws, adjust the table so the slot is parallel to the side of the blade. Then you set the fence to the slot. If you have a decent. Saw, and you adjusted the blade on the top wheel properly and the guides, all of which must be adjusted correctly before you worry about the table, then you’ll be fine. If you have to play around to adjust it to a cut, then something is wrong. Just ask any if thousands of experienced woodworkers or saw makers.

@@melgross Make a cut then adjust the fence to the cut you just made .every blade acts different. also why Carter has a magnetic fence! Google it,

You are both saying the same thing, if after the control cut the shelf is aligned parallel to the cut you are both right. The setup of the saw is very important, but here we are talking about an entry level product for amateurs, and a jig like mine is used to solve a problem quickly. I personally use it almost always without the fence to avoid drifting problems.

Mine was just an example to show that you can't always quickly check if it's square or not and then adjustments are needed. With the jig, on the other hand, you just rest the fence on it and voilà.

There are really many causes of blade drift, the position on the wheel, the tension of the blade and also the sharpening. I adjusted the shelf so that the side was parallel to the blade and then I adjusted the position and tension of the blade until it cut parallel to the fence. This video may help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH_Ho56jrZuYnqssi=6qCYNNXNe81bdZxF

Also, if the wear on one side of the blade is greater than the other, it will drift to the sharper side.

There are guide pins (or if you're lucky ... Rollers) below the table as well as on the drop down guide bar. Set both to have sire minimal movement of the blade. Set correct tension. Reduces play that can I initiat3 blade drift. Many entry bandsaws have a quick tension release so that the blade is not permanently tensioned, flip the tensioner again before cut

Even a simplified version will work just as well, don't stress yourself with too many details. Thanks for your kind comment, I appreciate it.

Thank you

There are many causes of blade drifting, and one is the dull blade. However, with a good general setup this jig helps a lot in most cases. I shared the video because it made things much easier for me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Commercial clamps do not have this feature because there is probably another product for this use, so they can sell two instead of one :)

Thank you for the appreciation

it is installed backwards only in 3 countries on the planet. 😉

It does not matter whether you use Imperial (inches, feet) or Metric (aka SI) with millimeters and centimeters (American spelling), as long as you use the same scale throughout your project. I am Canadian and grew up using both. Metric is easier to add or divide due to the base-ten decimals and not 1/16th or 1/8th type of fractions. Cheers.

There are 2 types of countries. Those that use the metric system and those that have been to the moon………

@dhal22 nice try, but NASA use metric system for space missions 😉

@@LTMSI’ll recheck with my uncle, an high level engineer on the Apollo and Saturn designs. I believe they used imperial.

I'm glad I inspired you, thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it.

The same product in different countries sometimes has different features, however given the quality of the fence it is better if you build one yourself :)

I adjusted the saw table and eliminated the blade drift before creating this jig. Thanks for your thought.

My band saw is an amateur product and I find the quality to be more than decent for the use that a hobbyist can make of it. (aside from the fence)

Thank you very much for the kind comment and the support to the channel, I really appreciate.

Thank you so much-.

This video offers a quick solution for sporadic use, if you use it continuously I recommend you make a new fence. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

No, this conditioner is only suitable for naturally tanned leather. I used chrome while I was learning but I don't like it and have given it up completely.
