20:30 When faced with that sort of sanding, I rip a 1 inch wide strip x standard sheet length of sandpaper, hold by the ends, and then sand like you are buffing up your shoes. Far easier and blends everything nicely.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

The hype for a new miter station is real. I love the open cabinets on top of the Jay Bates design. The John Meleki design is definitely my favorite looking. I find the most challenging part wether you seal off or try to use the space behind the fence. I’ve seen a nice cup/tray design inset behind fence and then the cabinet starts about four inches back. Like a gutter before the cabinet. Also seen panels you can lift up to access inside the cabinets. Having front-to-back counter too is nice even with a fence if you raise the cabinets up. Then wether you make separate lower cabinets and connect them simply or you want more elaborate saw box with dust collection structure. So many options.

[@gigaphonicon]

That air compressor use to move glue into spaces is genius im definitely stealing that one.

Probably your best one yet - I sniggered, snorted and cackled my way through the whole thing. The neighbor was the icing on the cake

[@ouicraft]

For sure best advice is to wait a day after milling to use your wood!! Also the analogy with the fish is perfect 😂

[@susan_halla]

A suggestion - for your match fit sled, create a matching height slab that fits in the miter slot on the opposite side of the blade (like an Incra 5000 sled). That will support your piece that overhangs the match fit sled without having to trim pieces down before you use your sled. Also - I still have flamingos in my front yard. During Mardis Gras, someone actually came and put a pink necklace with a flamingo on it around the neck of my biggest flamingo. I still don’t know who it was, but I love their sense of humor and style.

[@SjeikJoriz]

[@earthling01]

Can absolutely relate to angry cutting time. An inverted measurement, not securing a toggle properly causing movement. etc... It's the small human errors, but with patience and persistence the result is gratifying. At least that's the plan. Keep on keepin' on man! Your efforts inspire us old timers and young bucks, as well as a great many more of us out in the World Wood Web.

[@Rachara]

Just had one today. Spent days planning an out of town project, everything measured, go for assembly and you realize something just isn't quite right. For me, it was forgetting that a measurement from a flange wasn't the measurement for the piece. Minor and specific error, universally felt I think.

It looks like the bottom slats (27:57) screw into the full rabbets, which are glued (25:50) to the side supports. This would mean the full weight of the person become shear force on these two joints. Am I missing something? Is this actually sufficient for heavy use?

[@5280Woodworking]

That totally didn't suck. Love the no nonsense, don't have to use the 5 cut method and measure to 0.001" on everything, overbuild beyond normal use build mentality so many KZbinrs get caught up in. The project turned out great. Thanks for the tip on the flush cut saw, picked one up for a project that I've got coming up.

[@NWGR]

You don't use the 5 cut method to measure "to 0.001" on everything". You use it to setup your tools to make sure they're cutting accurately. If your tools aren't cutting accurately, the errors will compound throughout the project, and if you're 1/16" off to start, by the time you get to assembly, you may be out 1/4" in some places.

[@5280Recreation]

@@NWGR I’m aware. I was making a point that too often people measure to a degree that is absurd for wood that moves more than that. By the way, I’ve made numerous custom pieces that heavily used my crosscut sled built with a square ;)
