Project Update, Bandsaw Repair, Spectra Plywood, X-Carve Upgrade (Random Shop Stuff 8)

[@InsideAlan]

Marius, I just wanted to say how awesome I find you and your projects. I'm still not brave enough to attempt a bandsaw build at 35, but to then problem solve that issue and present a video about it in a second language is quite incredible. If there's ever anything you want from the UK let me know, I run a transport company and will organise free shipping on anything up to a pallet in volume as a thank you for the entertainment you provide :-) Have a great day.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Great approach and idea with the metal plate to secure the carriage bolt. Thumbs up Marius

[@MariusHornberger]

+Bellevue Woodshop Thanks!

[@dominiquenoel939]

+Bellevue Woodshop Why not put one or two nails in wooden part and inside bolt to avoid rotation ?

[@johntenhundfeld1529]

Everybody needs a day off once in awhile. Good for you and a very informative video as usual. Love the outtakes.

[@martincart2775]

Can't wait to see the Spectra project. Your X-Carve updates are on point. I really like your honest "pull no punch" reviews. Great video.

[@scotty2307]

Hello Marius, as for the bolt, in the US we call that "galling". Galling happens when a small imperfection catches the other part, and begins rolling up like a snow ball. Once this happens, no mater which way you turn the nut, or bolt, it just locks up tighter. I work in the boating industry, and I have found that the problem happens more often with stainless steel fasteners. I can also say that I have Never experienced galling on a lubricated fastener. I always put a bit of grease on stainless bolts and machine screws, and this has solved the problem for me. I know that lubricants attract debris, so it is a trade off.

[@jimbol8695]

Enjoy the videos. Keep 'em coming! I bought a piece of colored wood like you have and turned a pen on the lathe with it. It turned out great but I thought I could do better, so I sliced the wood on a diagonal and that pen turned out wild looking. Just a suggestion. Give it a shot.

[@jeffreyvelthuis9245]

Guys we found a german with humor! You are doing great man!!!

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Lol, the outtakes are great :-) I don't think you will be having a problem with the adjustment of your band saw anytime soon, that's a good solid fix.

Marius Hornberger Great video man! :) Keep up the great wood work videos, I look forward to them all the time. :)

[@jamesmitchell5013]

Marius, In the U.S. I ran into a similar problem with flex on my X-Carve after adding a heaver router (DeWalt 611) and dust shoe. The fix for me was to add a 3/16" X 2" X 36" piece of steel inserted between the rails and held in place by 5 furniture bolts. Took care of the problem for me!

[@bossecarlberg]

Great Video and the colored plywood will bi interested to see. nice repair of the band saw.

[@SJWoodworks]

That's exactly what I'm going to do with the x-carve x axis maker slides. I think it will work well, even when I upgrade to a bigger router for the spindle. And so much easier than what many others have done, with taking it all apart to install a piece of steel between them.

[@AnaStasia-qc4wy]

Hahaha... I was looking for videos about DIY vanity and ended watching you. I subscribed. :)

[@TheLaoruga]

That band saw repair looks like it will never going to be broke again.

[@waltsteinchen]

Again a great video! ... You're getting more and more the "german" Matthias for me ;-) (Ignoring for a second that Matthias root's are also in german... ) So since we agreed on our quality as woodworkers ;-) I can switch Schätze das Gewinde ist durch den Zug eine Windung Übergesprungen und hat sich dabei logischerweise selbst vernichtet ;-) VG!

[@Walt1119]

Marius, put a tiny bit of anti-seize compound on the nut and thread to keep that from happening.. Use very Sparingly!! It will get all over everything! And I can relate about the shop being a mess when working on a project! W

[@MariusHornberger]

+Walt G Already did that. (not in the video)

[@DanielVilarino]

Hi Marius! Very enjoyable video! I make videos too, mostly woodturning, and then sharpening and other bits, my main audience is Spanish speaking, but I live in the US so I also make the videos in English. I am from Uruguay, so my main language is Spanish and sometimes, when I record myself and listen to the takes for the English version, I do not even know what I tried to say. All this to say: I really enjoyed the outtakes and my admiration dear friend for the effort! Cheers! Daniel

[@MariusHornberger]

+Daniel Vilarino Thanks Daniel!

[@MRrwmac]

The bandsaw tensioning bolt vibration and non use may have melded the cheap soft metal together. Don't know but glad you were able to fix it and modify your xCarve track.

[@davidvierling684]

Marius, I suggest you add some anti-seize compound to the threads of your new bolt. I think that vibration in the saw is causing fretting on the hardware, therefore welding them together. This is a common problem with stainless steel hardware also.

[@MikeGusFifteen]

This may sound kinda stupid, but I'd totally make tool handles out of that spectra plywood. You'll see it almost every day!

[@cky5117]

You should put some anti-seize lubricant on the threads of the bolts. You can get it on most auto parts stores. It will prevent the nut from getting stuck with the bolt. Keep up the good work.

[@MariusHornberger]

+ricmart I did, but not mentioned in the video.

[@superdau]

Ich habe zwar gewusst, dass normale Gewinde nicht dafür gemacht sind, unter Last dauernd auf und zu gedreht zu werden, dachte aber, dass es für "Heimanwendungen" egal ist. Ich glaube, du bist inzwischen über dem Level ;) . Jedenfalls habe ich jetzt den Eigenbauschraubstock mit Gewindestange gestrichen. Wenn, dann nur mit echter Trapezgewindespindel. Das würde ich dir auch empfehlen, wenn das nochmal passiert. Mit M12 und Fett, wie du's jetzt hast, wird's zwar länger gehen, aber das Hauptproblem ist das relativ weiche Metall und die Form der M-Gewinde.

[@stevecollins9450]

Nice fix on the band saw, Marius.

[@KSFWG]

Great update, Marius ! I didn't know your sister was a smuggler. ;) lol just kidding.

[@robertavery8897]

Back to why the nut seized up on the bolt. You need to put a bit of never-seiz on the thread ... With that tension you friction welded the threads, not uncommon with bolts that are plated and screwed up and down. Nice job on the video.

[@ronnyvallejo4376]

Great Video Marius!!

[@sleefox]

Thread galling is usually caused overtime by a lack of lubrication. Consider using a Molly product or Never Seize

[@Octopusbeak]

Antiseize on the bandsaw tension bolt! Antiseize on the shoelaces! Antiseize on the kitchen utensils!

[@JeremyMcMahan]

Great fix on the band saw. That should hold up a bit better.

[@robvandenbroeck]

shop looks familiar, kinda like my place when i'm working

[@JoeDavis82]

The same thing happened to my home made bandsaw. I had to cut the bolt off and replace the bolt and nut. It just stripped for some reason. So now I keep 0 blade tension on it unless I'm using it.

[@Amgworkshop]

Great Video Marius, i guess what happened to the bolt is called thread galling, it's like welding

[@manuelraoultmaeso]

Bien! A+

[@BKMakes]

"... or you can skip to the outakes (winks)", laughing out loud

[@summerswoodworking]

Very nice repair and upgrade on the xcarve... Let me know if the Xcarve upgrade works well?

[@jakoball]

Great video, as always! I really like all of them. Guess it's you humour :) I was wondering where you store all your wood. I guess that little bit on your right when you talk isn't all of it. Could you maybe show how you store it in the next random stuff? Thanks!

[@HERRAMIENTALLER2021]

Sehr gutes Video, ein Gruß aus Uruguay

[@richardtullius6419]

Use a little 'anti seize' on that carriage bolt, it will be easier to turn and will never again seize up, saving you many hours of downtime. No shop should be with out it.

[@doyenguy]

I did not know that German speakers really try to get the English pronunciation correct. It was good to watch your outtakes--I see you want to get everything correct!

[@MariusHornberger]

+Doyen Guy IMO the right pronunciation makes quite a difference.

[@andreaskonietzny9190]

Bei der Schraube der Bandsäge wird sich das Gewinde verzogen haben, bedingt durch die hohen und dauerhaften Zugkräfte, die auf dem Gewinde lasten. Versuch mal ein Trapezgewinde, das hält wesentlich mehr Kräfte aus.

[@MariusHornberger]

+Andreas Konietzny Falls das jetztige irgenwann mal kaputt geht, werd ich das wahrscheinlich machen.

[@mkisereleven]

I had the tension threads collapse on my bandsaw once (mine is commercially made). Those should probably be acme threaded bolts.

[@DBYNOE]

At the point of placing the bolt in the vice, a good cherry red Mapp gas heating of the nut/bolt (propane is often not hot enough) combo would have loosened it right up (old mechanics trick for tough muffler bolts).

[@DBYNOE]

Also putting some axle grease or its equivalent on that nut and bolt should prevent a reoccurance of that thread lockup you just had.

[@MariusHornberger]

Unfortunately I don't have a torch. But I put some grease on the new threads. (Guess I didn't show that in the video)

[@williamoverton7265]

Awesome

[@genwiz]

you should put led lights inside your beautiful artwork!!! (shop vac. etc...)

[@kenl5217]

What happened to the nut? I didn't see any explanation about why it was stuck. That is really weird that happened.

[@Zioluideecreative]

congratulations, please, what characteristics should the band saw motor have? hp? laps? how many speeds? diameters of the pulleys? thank you

[@MariusHornberger]

The recommended specs for the motor are included in the plans of the saw. Have a look at woodgears.ca, there you should find them

[@Zioluideecreative]

thanks

[@demer19374]

great videos all around. Too bad there are no windows in your shop as it must be tough to not see daylight :)

[@aamirhussain212]

I like it

[@ДаниилЛев-щ5у]

nice grip!

[@franzsadler1429]

Hei Marius, interessantes Video, wie immer. Hast du denn jetzt rausgefunden woran dein Fehler liegt mit der Schraube der Bandsäge? Soweit ich das erkenne hat es bei deiner Schraube in Kombination mit der Mutter zum Spannen des Sägeblatts einen sogenannten Fresser gegeben, und da ist ein Losdrehen meist unmöglich. Unweigerlich endet es fast immer so wie in deinem Fall, nähmlich zerstören der Schraube. (Nun weiss ich nicht inwiefern du dich mit Stahlbau etc. auskennst, falls du das schon wusstest, dann sieh es bitte nicht als Belehrung an :) ) Das Problem mit metrischen Gewinden ist, dass diese keine Bewegungsgewinde sind. Von daher kommt es bei diesen schneller zu einem Fresser wie bspw. bei deinem Schraubstock, welcher (normalerweise) ein Trapezgewinde besitzt. Um dies in Zukunft zu verhindern hilft es die Schraube einfach einzufetten (Öl tut es auch, aber nicht so gut). Nun weiss ich nicht ob du die Mutter nachträglich noch geölt oder gefettet hast, im Video ist dies jedoch nicht ersichtlich. Ansonsten immer weiter so, du hast einige interssante Projekte am Laufen :)

[@MariusHornberger]

+Franz Sadler Ja, die Mutter hat gefressen. Das neue Gewinde hab ich geschmiert aber nicht im Video erwähnt.

[@BaNuj]

I'll try find this "Spectra plywood" in Poland, if i find some I'll contact you Markus. :)

[@MariusHornberger]

+michji2 *Marius

[@BaNuj]

Marius Hornberger I'm very sorry, it's a typo, of course Marius! Grettings

[@gamingSlasher]

Aluminium! That nut was incredible. Would have been nice if you would have had the time to cut it open with a Dremel.

[@chemcody5119]

Good video Marius. I have a question for you about your English. Do you speak it at work/school or just in your videos? My son and I watch your videos each week and we were curious how you came to speak it so fluently? I have a friend that was raised in Mexico and he tells me that he thinks in Spanish and then has to translate it into English before he speaks. He says it can be very tiring at times. This makes us appreciate what you do even more! Keep up the great videos!

[@MariusHornberger]

+Chem Cody I only speak English in my videos and that's all practice I got. (+ the basic stuff that I learned in school)

[@boelwerkr]

+Chem Cody If you don't mind i will answer that as a not native speaker myself. When i started learning English i had to translate every word from German, and then reorganize the sentence to English grammar. But over the time i learned phrases and words that are not fully translatable to German, so i started to "mix up" German and English in my head and now, when I'm talking or writing English, i think in English. It's easier and you can speak and write more fluently, but my vocabulary and grammar is much more limited and i think i sound dumb sometimes. In addition English is a language of words not of grammar. On the other hand German is a language of grammar not of words. German has much more rules how to phrase things, construct words and sentences, modifying words for a need and so on. So there is no need for such a big range of words as in English. So i struggle sometimes to phrase thing as eloquent in English as i can in German because i don't know the word to do so. A nice example of the diffences is 'lathe'. in geman it's "Drehbank" and the lieral translation is 'turning bench'. Many German words describe things. English words don't do that, they're 'only' names for things.

[@MariusHornberger]

+boelwerkr Yeah, English is much easier. I think learning German is very difficult. I my first videos I was also thinking in German and translating and speaking in English. Now I more or less already think in English, which makes all the talking much easier.

[@geopopa3106]

hi marius i want to say that i like all videos wicht u postet but i have a questions what size of band saw do you use for your bandsaw machine?

[@MariusHornberger]

+Geo Popa you mean blade size? 2700mm long, different widths.

[@richardraesr3482]

👍

[@juanchocarlos6319]

hi, love you work so clean. Question, which is the program you use to design the prototypes thanks...

[@MariusHornberger]

+Juancho Carlos SketchUp

[@geopopa3106]

yes

[@maxfathi596]

For the people that know a little more than me, if he put anti seize on the bolt would that have not happened?

[@gravedigger1060]

Do you have plan's for your bandsaw ?

[@MariusHornberger]

+gravedigger1060 Not my bandsaw design/plan. They are available here: woodgears.ca/bandsaw/plans/index.html

[@lukasfritz4057]

kleiner Typ mach an die schraubverbindung etwas Kupferfett dann kann man sie auch wieder leicht öffnen

[@MariusHornberger]

+Lukas f genau das hat der kleine Typ gemacht, aber nicht im Video erwähnt.

[@lukasfritz4057]

+Marius Hornberger ouw Entschuldigung wollte dich nicht als kleinen Typ bezeichnen. ich meinte eigentlich Kleinet Tipp! Deine Videos sind Prima habe auch schon die ein oder andere Anregung bekommen, z.B. die Schieber für die absauganlage

[@MariusHornberger]

Achso ;) Hab das jetzt nicht als Beleidigung oder so angesehen.

[@MrBotag]

What did you use to finish the parts of the wood frame of the band saw that weren't painted green?

[@MariusHornberger]

+Brian Battaglia the moving/sliding parts are still bare wood. Rest has two coats of varnish.

[@BluehawkOne]

You literally made me laugh out loud showing the "mess." That's not a mess. That's a tidy workshop. This is close to how my shop looks like. i.imgur.com/qs999js.jpg Now that's a mess.

[@johnconklin9039]

Grady Hillhouse has used spectraply in a bowl... check out his channel on KZbin.

[@dalelovejoy]

Marius, I agree with Octopusbeak below - antiseize on the threads, if you have not done so. Check out catalog.antiseize.com/category/anti-seize-compounds2 for examples. On a more general note - I enjoy your videos. Thanks.

[@kenl5217]

I see good prices for spectraply on ebay

[@MariusHornberger]

+Ken L also available in Germany?

[@kenl5217]

+Marius Hornberger no I think you are right. Thats too bad that stuff looks really cool

[@kirilstoianov3618]

thanks

[@hazelhazelton1346]

Stainless is a really shit metal for threading, they always seize, and once they do, there is no fixing it.

[@kennethhendricks1645]

YOU ARE USING COMMON METALS BETWEEN THE NUT AND BOLT. THIS CAUSES GAULDING

[@ronnakeil9848]

I love your videos but I check out when you start using absurdly expensive tools like the. CNC.

[@MariusHornberger]

interesting. My table saw is more than double the price of the CNC. So all my projects with the table saw will make you check out?

[@larsniklassonhede3798]

+Marius Hornberger I have difficulties to follow you when you speek so fast I am not a native english speaker. I have now also maked 8 clamps.

[@ageriks0n]

Marius great video! I have one warning, since you have never worked with spectraply before - the colors will bleed! They want to bleed into the wood glue, they will bleed into any solvent you use to wipe down your piece, they will bleed with sanding if you get too fine. Here is a blog on spectraply used on duck calls: thogamecallsforums.com/index.php?topic=13592.0 Here where Grady Hillhouse is turning a segmented bowl and discusses the bleeding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYvXgYavbaeMha8m47s

[@MariusHornberger]

+Alan Erickson Thanks for the information!

[@blairsteppke940]

I had the same thing happen to my 14” bandsaw I built what happen to mine is part of one of the threads broke off then got displaced inside the nut effectively locking the bolt into the nut. My fix was to replace the bolt with a stainless steel nut and bolt so that the threads would be stronger it’s held out for 2 years now. I’m currently building the 20” version now of Matthias Wendell’s design
