I haven't done many round things, to be honest. Normally, if I need it round, I just draw a circle and cut it out on the band saw than sand to the line. This time, I wanted accuracy and repeatability, so I was happy with how it turned out. I have used it a few times already 👌🏼

@alanswoodthings Typo. The cheese is Cheddar which is the style you usually buy and was originally made in Cheddar, Somerset, England. Traditionally it comes in big rounds that are cut into wedges like a cake. We are related to Cheddar man who was buried in Cheddar Gorge about 10000 years ago. He might have made cheese :)

That was close on the reverse hole Alan, guaranteed I'd have just gone with it and then realised. Good Save! Not sure if it would assist, any other commenters jump in on this if it won't work. What if you were to turn yourself a small handle - put a threaded insert inside a piece of woo... *cough* or find an old door knob laying around somewhere.. Mount a disposable screw in a chuck, turn it down to something nice, then insert on..... be able to support the cut at both ends, I saw your hand on the back of the jig wrestling with the extraction hose. Counter sink at the far end of the jig, as to not get in the way of the other spots. Not sure if it would help or hinder the functionality of the jig. Awesome project and great work! Your content was already enjoyable and it's just getting better every week!

@alanswoodthings 2 ай бұрын
Yes, so close I was so relived I noticed in time 😉 Will have to give the handle some thought but I feel I'm probably to lazy to do more to it as it functions perfectly, I just need to get better at organising the hose and cord. Thanks so much for your continued input 😀

Great video. Just a couple of observations. If you put baking paper under your clamps during glue ups you will stop glue getting on your benches. Also I’ve had to throw away all the black rubber feet that I’d been using as they were perishing & leaving black marks on the bench after a year or so. I’ve now found some clear ones & am giving them a try.

Great video Alan and what a great finished product. You had me cracking up with the glue bit. Something I've recently implemented is an el cheapo microphone ($40 at the local music store) the one I grabbed was the CKMOVA VCM1. (office works have the non-off brand version - Joby Wavo $98) most Canon's have the Microphone port. While it's not top of the line, when you add the dead cat (fluffy filter) to it. it cuts out ambient noises and picks up primarily the noise in which the microphone is pointed at. It's taken down the sound of the dust extractor and air compressor down to 25% of what it used to be, now you can actually appreciate the tool noises a bit more. First video using this microphone will go up on Tuesday, any tool noises you hear is on that microphone, voice overs with a much more expensive set up. Voice overs I use an elaborate kit designed for podcasting more than woodworking, I like to tinker with technology.
