Wow that is the way to go

Very intelligent, effective, and economical. Thanks for posting!

True craftsmanship that shit is so hard

wonder how old it is

Hi James, in you video you mentioned that you bought the plans and patterns for the Maloof chair .. I looked but did not find a link where to buy the plans. I aspire to build Sam Malloof and Hal Taylor rocking chairs

Very nice. I'm curious how you attached the bottom. Dados, rabbit, cleats? Thanks, I'm doing similar chest next month

Love the video it’s Alex your grandson.

None better than David He’s the glue that keeps local woodworkers connected Thank you Jim

'bout time Dave's shop gets recorded. Great job, Jim. Thanks.

I really like to see other people´s shops. It gives me ideas on how to organize my own. Thank you.

This was very informative, especially with the tools setup for multiple repeated projects. Many are much quicker than jigs. Thank you.

I Loved every second of this! I feel like I could spend months at a time in there and be as happy as a clam. Thank you for not putting a bunch of music in the background. It is usually unnecessary and often at a volume that makes it difficult to hear anything else. Feel free to encourage the shop owner tell a short (2-5 Minute) intro about how they got into woodworking or perhaps some tips for newer woodworkers or maybe their most memorable mistake. We've all made them and, as embarrassing as they are, it creates a sense of being relatable. In any case thank you for making this and any future videos.

Good concept. please check the video at the end as there is empty recording. David's shop is full of excellent examples of jigs and tool setups, shop org. ideas... which helps make the shop more efficient, creates fluid workflow, can be safer...such as the metal vice fastened on the wooden base - you could spend hours exploring David's shop and learn immensely from his obvious creative ability and wealth of experience. Well done James, David and daughter. Look forward to more.

Nice work. Thanks for the video. I like the sawzaw blade usage. i once thought that a nice parting tool could be made by taking an old carbide table saw blade, and cutting out a parting tool shape from it. The blade would be cut out so that the very tip would include one of the carbide teeth of the blade. Have yet to do it, but i think it would work well. Nice bowl!

Just make the frigging bowl...not interested in your life, or that of your friends

I'm new to lathe - did you glue a second base to the bottom circle to attach it to the lathe?

I have a craftsman 10” contract saw. Dust everywhere. I have a system for underneath. Now I want one for on top. I could adapt for my saw?

Drill a 1/16” hole in a3/4” piece of hardwood using a drill press.Now drill a 3/8” hole ,using a Forster bit using. the 1/16” hole to keep you entered about half way thru .I use it all the time and it works perfectly.

Good man, Keep it up and keep going please.

Just one more question, how do we entice you to show us newer woodworkers the step by step of making that circle bandsaw jig??

Great to see you dip your finger into the glue as just today I did the same.

CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THE TOOL YOU USED TO DRILL THE HOLE INTO THE END OF YOU DOWEL, PLEASE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT TOOL FOR A LONG TIME. THANKS. YOUR BOXES ARE BEAUTIFUL..

Thanks

Fantastic build but you should get help with the finish. Yuck.

Hi James, I enjoied your video but still have some questions. How do i calculate the thickness of the wood and the width of the circles to make a bowl at 45 degrees? Thanks in advance

If you like these videos please subscribe and ring the bell! Thanks!

4:00 I want to watch the video and make a wooden hinge What's the name of the beat that makes the hole in the middle of the neck Thank you.

I was dealing with the same problem as you. I solved the dust collection problem under my table saw, by boxing it in and adding a 4" dust port but still when ripping a board up top the saw would cover you head to toe with dust. This overarm collector is an interesting idea and has me thinking. Thanks for sharing your idea. I usually watch many KZbin videos to get ideas, then I'll design something for my shop. I'm sure a lot of us hobby woodworkers do this. Cheers

Thank you, James for sharing this great design! I’ve been woodworking for many years as a hobby + lots of finish carpentry for the home. I use a contractor table saw and dust collection just isn’t good enough. May try out your design. Do you have any dimensioned drawings you could share? How is the boom fixed at its base? Thanks again - we only get one set of lungs, might as well take care of them!

Instead of Plexi better use Makrolon, this is not splittering in case of emergency

thanks for this, gives me a starting point for my own saw. i also watched justins video, if i can suggest putting a couple of threaded knobs in, one where the arm swivels on the tube to swing out the way, and one where the guard goes into the square box to hold the hood in place, it looks like an inch may not be enough to prevent the hood coming out if you accidentaly knock the hood when cutting, a threaded knob would lock both these into place preventing accidents, regards.

Excellent video! Does the Lie-Nielson dowel plate give you a perfect 3/8" dowel? Just wondering.

Hi James, your video was very helpful. Can you provide me with details on the stop block? What are the dimensions of the wooden fence extension? Thank you

It was interesting to see what was on your bench, the Johnson's paste wax in particular. My first can cost me $0.98 cents. My second can cost me $9.80 cents.

WOW that is a Great result

Bold and brilliant and a little scary all at the same time! I really like that you show when you make a little error -- I sometimes think blunder recovery is my best skill! Great job.

Love the simplicity of this . Thank you for sharing and especially the dimensions. I am going to make one shortly. I subscribed to your video and hope to see more of your work. Thanks again James

Love this video! Such a charming guy.

Is that a homemade bandsaw I see. Very nice! Impressive

A great approach. Could also go directly into the studs as the placement of a coach bolt could be flexible. Can you please give the thickness of the board and the width of the two pieces (2" & 5"?).

Very interesting and very well made. The issue I’ve always had with the type of overhead dust collector is when I’m trying to cross cut long pieces. The vertical frame element always got in the way. My solution is a similar type of boom but fixed to the ceiling directly above the blade. I also made mine out of ply and plexiglass but I wanted a narrow cover (to allow me to still use when cutting thin strips) but also a 4” hose. So, my cover is made of 2 pieces of 18mm ply with 6mm plexiglass either side. The dust hose goes in from one side through a hole cut in the plexiglass. The whole vertical boom is adjustable in height (two pieces sliding within each other) and can be easily taken out altogether. So different - not better, nor worse - just made to my requirements. An essential element to efficient dust collection below the blade is the control of the movement of air. As you showed, all holes, gaps around the saw (in my case, the cabinet) should be covered in. Then you need to make sure that you have enough of a path through the blade insert to draw in enough air to take with it the dust. Standard inserts have wide slits to allow for tilting the blade whilst zero clearance inserts do allow for thin rip cutting. However, a zero clearance insert probably will limit the amount of air being allowed in to an extent to impede efficient air flow; therefore, it might be necessary to drill some “air” holes in the insert but not near enough the slit as to negate the benefit of zero clearance. That really is the result of all my trial and errors. I’ve been doing it for over 45 years and so I could fill pages and pages with everything that hasn’t worked out.

James, your hands are way too close to the router bit when making that dowel! That's dangerous.

well done sir 🙂

My concern with all of these is the blind spot created by the wood in the middle structure, perhaps some sort of solid plexiglass or acrylic material would be safer>???just a thought

how far apart are the pin holes on your board and thank you for the video

“Dusty, you suck.”- love it!

Woodglut comes with very useful plans with all the details you need.

My adventure with woodworking started with Woodglut.

Your book took me here. I am trying to learn woodworking at 52yrs old, being semi retired. Learned about your boom from Stumpy Nubs. I really wish I could send you pictures of things I built, just to get your thoughts. Consider me subscribed. Thank you, Master. Dan

Love it. Thanks for sharing.
