That was super interesting. Looks like I have a back fence project on my to-do list now. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your top esperance. You make us ignore the reality and believe it easy in the brain.

Hopefully i can pass on some of the knowledge that has been passed on to me over the last 40 years. I was very lucky to have learnt my trade from some really fantastic old tradesmen just before they retired. Hopefully i will be as accomplished as they were when i retire! :)

Hi bryce Thanks for another great video, I would love to see a close up of the gas strut on the power feed bracket I have a felder k700 saw spindle and horsing the feeder up on its bracket is not much fun also i must check out the router spindle . Keep up the good work ! Regards from Ireland Liam.

Thanks for watching Liam, I hear you about the feeder on the bracket without the gas strut. I had an F38 feeder on my old machine and it was brutal. I was actually looking at adding a strut to that, or even just buying the new bracket with the strut simply to protect my back! I'll see if i can find the drawings for adding a gas strut to the original tiltaway bracket and try sending them your way. I will also try to make a little video just on the feeder and bracket.

Thanks for sharing Bryce, I just purchased f348 and waiting for the tilt away adapter. Be happy to see the gas strut you designed. I’m thinking to disattach it from the machine to a custom made cart, still thinking about it

[@brycecomerwoodworks]

@@hagaitzadok Did the tilt away bracket you bought not have the gas strut? If not. i can send you a couple of .pdf's of a bracket and notes on adding one.

Many thanks for sharing. I’ve taken away a couple of ideas.

Just found your channel. Fantastic -- someone who actually makes things, is not a tool shill, and explains how and why he does each step. Thank you very much. One question -- did you decide on a combo machine due to cost and space??

[@brycecomerwoodworks]

Thank you for watching. Glad you like the videos. I went with another combo machine based purely on space. My old workshop was 1000 square feet, or about 93 square meters. That's why i bought a combo machine when i started the business. When i had to move from that workshop last year, i didn't have much choice and the biggest space i could find at the time was the same size as the old shop. To make it more difficult, the new space was 5'8" narrower, which made laying the shop out really difficult & i had to move things around 3 times before i got it all to a point where things now work. While the old shop had 11 foot high ceilings, the new one has 20' high ceilings, so i have been able to put a mezanine in where i have the lathe, a little office & a bunch of storage for hardware and materials like thresholds etc. That has really helped with floor space where i am machining and assembling. If i had the space, i would most likely go with separate machines, but being a one man shop, it likely wouldn't save me that much time in any given day. What it would do though, would allow me to have other working with me. As for the cost, i'm not sure the combo machine works out all that much cheaper than separate machines. With separate machines though, you could buy different brands, or even buy a mix of new and used & save more money. I hope that answers your questions and again, thanks for watching.

Boutique production - very cool. We need more of this, just like more craft beer. Just like in days of yore... I live in a 100+ house here in Revelstoke & I imagine that a lot of the joinery (windows, doors, trim) was either site built, or shop built nearby. Does the power feed on your previous Felder (the CF 531) rotate as well to do the vertical milling?

[@brycecomerwoodworks]

Hi Dave, thanks for watching. Yes the feeder on the CF531 did rotate to the vertical. This new feeder is really nice though, as it has stops at both the vertical and horizontal positions. There are some lovely old houses in Revvy. This baseboard is actually going in a house here in Rossland that was built by the towns founder Ross Thompson! Interestingly, it was actually a kit home out of San Francisco. There is another house very similar not far down the road too! Cool to think they were doing this sort of thing all the way back in the late 1800's. As you suggest though, I think a lot of the stuff would have been made on site or close by.
