I regret not learning this sooner

Tuck in your t shirts while grinding guys. When I was 14 years old I had a grinder bite the bottom of my t shirt and it rolled up all the way to my chest before I was even able to take my finger off the trigger. I’m thin like you guys are so don’t think a decent fitting shirt and a flat gut will save you.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Fantastic tip, Jerod! That’s something we didn’t think about! Definitely gonna do that next time

[@littlebeebs1]

Haha ! I actually had a wire wheel grab the crotch of my sweatpants while working on a board ! Thank god I’m a woman or I’d have lost an important body part . Had it been an inch lower , I would have lost an important female part 😂

[@mikec2173]

@@littlebeebs1 Wire wheel bit my work shirt (not tucked in) and raced up my chest in a millisecond. Just got me on the nipple (and I'm a man!)😁

Great work guys. I found this to be one of the more informative videos out there. Great work. Keep 'em comin'! Cheers

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Thanks! Figured getting a first hand perspective from a beginner would help other beginners

[@shrklbf]

Thanks! This is exactly the video I needed to see to make the bowl type cut you guys did in this.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Sure thing! Thanks for checking out the video, Terrence!

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

Thanks for the tips! I just bought the arbortech power carving system and their turboplane cause im about to build a maloof inspired rocker. i have my work cut out for me lol ive never power carved anything

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Good luck! I’ve got a few more power carving projects that’ll offer some more tips too

[@dominic6634]

Yes always leave the guide on I've seen some nasty injuries from people that don't.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Definitely gonna keep it on!

[@dcgo44r]

This wheel has the blades close to the edge, so yeah. But others not! In that case you could remove the guard! There's no protection offered for the bottom of the wheel the cutting surface of course!

[@gremics-gallery]

Thanks for the video. Waiting for mine - Looking forward to comparing cheap discs with it to see if the price tag is actually worthwhile or not.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Sure thing! I’d love to hear how the others compared!

[@dmarshall6052]

Where did you get the contour sander? I’ve done some carving and that would be a great help in the sanding process

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Thanks a fantastic question! It’s another tool made by Arbortech. Here’s a link: amzn.to/2Z2xzGN

[@nkabui8wnabnd8099999]

Excellent vid. Loved seeing both of you in it. More of that. And I LOVE that carving disk. I will own one shortly.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Thank you Tripp! Miranda may not always be shown in all the videos, but she certainly helps a ton!!!

[@stevejensen3471]

Hey folks. Great vid! Question - could this be used to make vertical waves all around the outside of a jewelry box. I formerly made such a box using a flapper disc with a deep curved profile but sanding out the deep flapper disc grooves was VERY labor intensive! This curved carbide cutters about halfway up the turboplane curve looks like it leaves a smooth surface behind that would require a lot less sanding. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks a million!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

That would be a great application! If you check out one of my more recent videos, you can see where we used it for carving a drawer front on a piece of furniture

That's Awesome guys, great video was very informational on the process, and enjoyed seeing you both in on this project 👍

Thanks Justin! We literally had no idea what we were doing but figured it might be helpful for others to see how easy it is to learn

[@IntentionalGains]

I thought the contour sander was pretty cool! K don't mind sanding by hand but I could see how a tool like that could speed things up.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Thanks for checking out the video, Joel! Yeah the contour sander was a massive time saver! Plus, it’s a lot of fun to use!

It helps me a lot

A bit more on safety, wear a face shield, ear muffler, and a face nose mask, breathing sawdust is not good as some woods are quite toxic. As one viewer has commented, tuck in t-shirt, and anything likely to get snagged, that angle grinder will be chewing your soft front before you have time to let go the trigger, it happens, I used to work in the hospital ED and to fix up significant damage. Make the safety issues at the start of your video, it is excellent advice for your viewers even if you chose the dangerous ways. An angle grinder is not a toy. Greetings from one who knows.

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

I see a lot of people using those. I might have to try it out!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

It’s an absolute BLAST! There’s a discount code up in the description too if you end up pulling the trigger

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

@@SpencleyDesignCo i will definitely support your code when I am ready!

[@dcgo44r]

Amazing demonstration! For those wondering the guard on this blade doesn't do anything! Guards were created for abrasive wheels like grinding and cutting, that can shatter and become a projectile and also to avoid injuries with the edge of the wheel. This wheel have all the cutting blades close to the edge but not right in the edge, still those blades are very dangerous and is recommended to use the guard. Now there are some other wheels that have the blades not as close of the edge as this, they are more for planning but they can dig well too; in this case the guard can be removed as there is no protection been offered here!

[@chuckbuddystrainer8632]

Thanks just watch the guy who shredded his hand with a Grindr chainsaw blade. So this was refreshing to see this to an action

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Yikes! I’ve heard horror stories about those chainsaw blades!

[@ethics1017]

Try hot glue for your templates.

[@AljumaiahM]

Why not remove the grinder cover, hands are protected 😊

if your planning on doing a lot of these vids and want the audio to be super clear, invest in something like this. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1115091-REG/rode_rodlnk_fm_rodelink_wireless_filmmaker_kit.html?ap=y&smp=y I teach golf for a living and use these mics all the time for my vids. a little pricey, but worth the money. don't buy cheaper stuff it's not as good. i've gone through 3 cheaper versions and finally did it right. nice vid.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Awesome! Thank you for the tip! That’s definitely added to the list of upgrades I want to get! I appreciate you checking out the video!

Backlashes can hurt you badly. Show verbidden moves

[@BigDaddyJDog]

Don't be nervous about taking off the shield guard. Unless you are wearing a baggy t shirt. You will be extremely careful with the guard off and get a lot more work accomplished.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

I think that’ll just fine with time! This was only our 3rd time ever using an angle grinder

[@jibcot8541]

Do not take the gaurd off under any circumstances!, it if kicks into your face you will look like Frankenstein for the rest of your life, it happens to 100's of people every year and some do not survive.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Yikes! That’s one of the reasons we were very adamant about keeping it on

[@dcgo44r]

@@jibcot8541 you are forgetting the bottom of the wheel is unprotected right! Some how you have to control it (after you lose control) to make it able to land the tool guard first on the face! 🤷🏽

[@dcgo44r]

The key is fatigue! As soon you feel something, stop take a brake, relax muscle and tendons and go back at it! Because you need a strong grip fatigue sets in quick, you subconsciously relax the grip and "bang" shit happen!

[@marlonsreview8061]

Using a router is easier, faster, safer than using this tool for this demonstration. This tool makes sense on carving trunks of trees. DANGER, Putting any tool near your body is dangerous, it can get caught on your shirt. Buy wood cutting tools with trigger switches that will turn off the moment something goes wrong. If you can't afford safe tools, stay away from doing carpentry, and your welcome, I probably saved your life.
