Thanks for the subscription! I can't claim credit for the idea - I saw @BeardedVikingWoodworks make it as a candle holder (his video is linked in the description). So I plaguerized it, too.

Absolutely. Lots of options.

Thanks! I should have taken pictures of the first attempt - didn't look quite as pretty.

@PeladoCreations In my experience, usually the 1st one's don't. Lol 🤣

@RayandSandysWoodworking Mistakes were made, as they say.

Thanks! Sounds like you have a nice setup. I picked up a used jointer a little while back. I haven't really done much with it yet but when I do, I'll post videos about it here.

@@PeladoCreations Those vacuum switches are great, by the way.

@Ted_James Agreed! Love that it comes on automatically without having to do any prep.

I did what I could. I learned from the process and will hopefully do better next time.

Glad it could help!

Thanks! I hope it's useful for everyone!

@larrymiller2665 Yes, it's in English. Would you prefer a different language? I can speak some Spanish (though my woodworking vocabulary in Spanish would need a lot of work). I tried learning French, too, but never got particularly proficient and have forgotten a lot of what I once knew.

Thanks! Do you use French cleats at all?

@PeladoCreations No, I do all my work from the basement and I don't have room for it. So much of my little stuff is in original packaging and I have a small cabinet I keep small stuff in.

​@RayandSandysWoodworking Yeah, I had all these bits in their original packaging until making this piece. I'd love a basement, but have my shop in the garage (in case it wasn't already obvious).

Thanks!

Agreed, thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Did you miss the opened toe sandals in the shop? I disagree with you on the equipment being low quality. Old Craftsman band saw, Dewalt contracter saw w/ CMT blade, and Ryobi router table are all fine. I agree with you about the clutter and sketchy shop practices.

I'm definitely a newcomer to woodworking , especially relative to your experience. My equipment is certainly not top of the line. I acquired most of the equipment within the past year through second (or third) hand sources. I then refurbished that equipment to the best of my meager abilities to serve my purposes. The shop is messier than I'd like. Part of the reason for that is earlier this year, I tore out the old workbench and pegboard that came with the house and built the existing workbench, shelving, and French cleat system - mostly from reclaimed wood. I'm still in the process of building out storage systems. Another contributing factor to the messy shop is all the reclaimed wood I've acquired that I intend to use for various projects in the future. I don't purport to be a fine craftsman. Members of my family have long lived by a motto my grandfather used to say: " Good enough for who it's for." Though I often fall into that line of thinking, I am trying to get better with each project. Part of getting better is improving my safety practices. I don't want to endanger myself or others. Part of the reason I included the poor decisions in the video is so that other, similarly inexperienced hobbyists don't make the same mistakes I did. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts with me. I hope there's more to like in the next video the algorithm delivers to you.

Were you as perfect 69 years ago when you first started woodworking? Try to be helpful and more supportive, Constructive criticism with helpful advise goes a long way.

Sometimes I slip on the sandals when going out to the garage, not anticipating working on any projects but then get started on something. Thanks for calling that out - should be more conscientious about that. I do try to get decent equipment, even though it is used. I got that Ryobi router table (with a Ridgid router) from a pawn shop years ago but didn't start using it until somewhat recently. Found that the stock fence wasn't good, so added the MDF fence.

I think he's just trying to help me be safer.

Noted. More blue tape.

Good idea! Wish I would have thought of that. Now my daughters are mocking me for trusting off-brand painter's tape to hold down the throat plate against the force of thousands of rotations per minute.

That could be a pretty epic build video...

Thank you!

Do you also have a Dustopper or similar cyclone dust separator?

So sorry for you, man. I just got this one off of Facebook Marketplace a few weeks ago. An older couple was moving and didn't want to move the band saw. I was impressed with how detailed the owner's manual is. And it seems like a pretty good band saw after everything is calibrated properly. My Marketplace feed has shown me several other Craftsman band saws (either the same or very similar models) since buying this one. While it wouldn't carry the same sentimental value as the unit you got from your dad, I wonder if you'd be able to find and use a similar model.

I may have to look into that. What brand of automotive trim cement do you typically use? How long does it stay after you glue it in?

@PeladoCreations I used 3M yellow, but that is just what I had.

@@lloydprunier4415 Is it this one? amzn.to/4eHxwFs

@@waynebutler7813 That makes sense. Thanks!

The original fence had a gouge in it, presumably from the prior owner(s) using the fence too closely to the blade. As I slide a workpiece along the fence, the workpiece hits the gouge and doesn't stay straight. That's bad because then the cut gets messed up and there is increased risk of the piece binding up and getting stuck. And I don't want to have to exert undue force on the workpiece when there's a spinning blade right there. The auxiliary fence allows me to have a smooth surface for the workpieces to glide along without obstructions.

@@PeladoCreations Thanks for the reply. I have the same table saw. Bought it new about 7-8 years ago now. Fortunately I haven’t cut into the fence, at least yet😂! Don’t blame you for adding the aux fence, that would make me crazy! Thanks again!

@@stevesiefken2696 It's been a good saw for me so far, but I just got it used about a week and a half ago. I've got another video I'm working on in which I build a mobile cart for the saw with dust collection and outfeed support, so stay tuned!

The 7491 had a Diablo blade that I figured had been used a fair amount so I didn't even test it out. I swapped it out with a relatively new CMT blade that I had in the 744 and it cuts well. I was concerned that the issue with the rear rail would cause problems but it seems fine so far. But I'll still switch it out once the new rear rail arrives.
