This Viral Project Traumatized Me

It was so fun to work with ‪@RexKrueger‬ on this project! He's just what you'd expect, but funnier.
I told you I'd leave a link to a ladder chair you can buy. Here you go. Check it out!

My first thought after reading the first line of this comment: 🎶"this is just a tribute" 🎶 😂

[@daveb7408]

If anyone asked me how I spend my free time, I would say, "I start projects." If they ask me what's in my garage I would say, "A bunch of started projects." If they asked me when I was going to finish them, I would say, "Finish? I don't know what that means."

You built it backwards?!? 😂 NOBODY has EVER done that. Especially not me. No sirree. Not me. Definitely not me. 🙄

My heart broke a little when I saw him realize that.

[@svinkuk2652]

i once made a workout bench with a flip up backrest, i finished it, my girlfriend and i both took took a look at it, went "oh no, its backwards!" (before i go on, i want to at least make it known that this was at the end of a very long day) i took it apart, put it back together as what i thought was no longer backwards.. and realized i had it right the first time, and NOW it was backwards. Thankfully it was a very function over fashion type deal, held together with screws and stuff, but it still sucked, and i felt reeeeeal dumb lmao

[@KnotboredWoodworking]

Rex took me by surprise haha My first big project for a customer was a "simple" cutting board. I broke the handle on the first one. Even when I finished the second one and sent it I noticed all the mistakes. The customer and their marketing person both thought it looked amazing. Even done to the wood filler that was too light for the wood that they thought was a great accent.😂

Can't believe I talked him into doing that. :)

[@worstworkshop]

Thank you. Yeah, Rex is an even better guy than most people realize. It was so much fun getting to interact with him in pulling this together.

[@RYwoodview]

@@worstworkshop BTW, the kickback happened because you removed your stabilizing grip before the cut was complete. The wood must stay absolutely stable throughout the entire cut. Preferably with a push device, not your hand! Glad there wasn't pain & physical damage to show in this video.

[@worstworkshop]

It was that, the lack of a riving knife or splitter, and the fact that I casually pushed it at an angle. Kickback happens to everyone at some point. We just have to learn from our mistakes when it does, hopefully with fingers intact.

[@RYwoodview]

@@worstworkshop Didn't notice the other factors. It would be good teaching for viewers to point out those things, maybe in a short.

[@worstworkshop]

That's a great idea.!

[@SlumberingChaos]

I watch the kickback, then the slow motion replay. Cut to commercial. Sawstop Tablesaw Ad. Chefs Kiss.

[@andreachinaglia5804]

A Sawstop is an amazing, and very costly, machine but it is not safe, just a little less risky if you don't know how to use a table saw. A friend of mine, a professional woodworker, had a serious hand injury that with a Sawstop would not have happened, but an other friend, also professional, had a big splinter detaching from the wood he was cutting, that splinter penetrated a plywood panel to a depth of about one inch, if he wourd had been placed behind the blade that splinter could had severed his aorta killing him or cause some other serious injury to the abdomen or chest, A Sawstop would not had saved him like does not save if the wood you are cutting is projected against you by a kickback. The most important thing when using the table saw is the knowledge of the proper procedures to operate it then if someone can afford it why not a Sawstop? But the correct procedures come first. About the kickback shown in the video it is due to a wrong use of the push stick that was near the fence and not behind the cut line, to have it happen if you use the push stick like that is only a matter of time, but is almost shure that it will happen sooner or later. People that ignore such basic safety procedures, being them KZbinrs or not, SHOULD ABSOLUTELY AVOID USING THE TABLE SAW and the shaper that are the most dangerous woodworking machines until they have researched, plenty of sources on YT, woodworking blogs and forums, how to safely operate such machines. Woodworking involves a certain risk factor, we can only mitigate it, even a hand chisel can cause a serious injury, but shaper and table saw are particularly risky as they have powerful motors and the way they operate promotes kick back, a little hobby table saw is way more dangerous of a big professional band saw.

[@TheDadCave]

Woah! Glad you still have all of your fingers!

[@jeremiahbullfrog9288]

Good technique pays off. He was standing to the side and had his hand braced on the fence. But yeah, i'd go ahead and build/install that riving knife.

[@TheDadCave]

@@jeremiahbullfrog9288 I absolutely agree! Good technique and a mind for safety will always be beneficial in the end.

That was an awesome video. I love that you included and were so awesome about and honest about your mistakes. I love that you did a video on how hard the learning curve can be on some projects. Thank you so much!! I have been playing in my woodshop for many years and there are some projects that took me over 2 years to build because I had to think about the process in which I could do the next step in the build. I did finish the original project but it is far from perfect without a doubt but my mom still loved it. It was a roll-top desk if you are interested in what it was. Really loved this video and how you did it. Thank you!

[@worstworkshop]

Thanks a lot! I can't believe I talked him into doing it, to be honest.

[@TotMannsFete]

Woodworking is kinda like Dark Souls in a way - you try and fail over and over and over again, until you finally succeed - and then you rejoice and feel euphoric and elated, and it's just amazing! And then you go face the next obstacle, and it's the same cycle over and over again. But you learn so much in the process, and you get better and better without even really realizing it, until you suddenly notice that the project that were once almost insurmountable obstacles have become just something you can _do_ now :) Great video!

[@worstworkshop]

That's deep.

[@DaeViZ0n3]

I like how you told the whole story. A lot! It is a hell of a talent to tell such stories in an entertaining (but not artificially funny) way. I hope to see more and learn from you :)

[@TheDadCave]

Fun video format for sure! I was equally frustrated along the way with you. I will most certainly not be building a ladder chair of my own.

[@markhayes9004]

Another awesome video! I hope everything is wonderful with you and your family. I get that frustration; my last two projects were an exercise in frustration, if not outright insanity. I've had a similar problem with my old Craftsmen table saw, the pulley will work itself loose from the blade shaft once in a while and cause a terrible racket. I think I finally have it fixed since it hasn't done it again since I repaired it the last time about 3 months ago. Of course, it may not be fixed entirely since my workshop gets below freezing in the winter, so I don't use it as much. This last time I moved the motor over a little too and that did seem to help with alignment issues that may have been why the pulley kept coming loose. In any case, I'm glad you kept your fingers and didn't get whacked by that board when you had that kickback. It was nice to see Rex on your channel! Please take care and have an awesome week!

[@worstworkshop]

Thanks a lot, Mark. If you ever figure out the secret, let me know.

[@markhayes9004]

@@worstworkshop I think if you take that pulley as far as you can towards the blade and then really crank down on the set screw as tight as you can without stripping the threads, it will help. I'd also make sure that you have as close to a straight line as possible between the pulley on the motor and the pulley on the blade shaft. I think it was the slight angle I had that was making the belt pull the pulley loose on the shaft. When I moved the motor, it did seem to help quite a bit and so far, it is holding. I've managed to build an end table and a small fly box with it since then, and it hasn't come loose since I did that. They were both made from mahogany, so that should be a reasonable test.

I thought I recognised that voice. Rex is a lot of fun and a great inspiration. I built one of those chairs a little while ago and I spent a lot of time drawing and redrawing to get the dimensions correct so that the flat surfaces were big enough to be stable. The only downside is that the chair is quite heavy and I usually grab a metal step ladder instead. strangel;y the right angle back is quite comfortable for me. Agreed, it is a stupid piece of furniture/shop equipment, but building it was a great learning curve. BTDJ and Embrace the Suck are wonderful catchphrases.

If you think about it, unless you climb to the top rung, you'll never get higher than the seat of the chair. Might as well just build a chair with a footrest to step on or something. Even better, just get a stepladder.

It's true! I knew that I needed to be punished! 😂

[@worstworkshop]

Don't we all? Thanks for your comment!

[@frogsoda]

Three words... Full sized drawing. 😅 Great video

[@worstworkshop]

Great idea. Thanks for watching!

i thought i recognized the voice and then Rex popping up was hilarious. great video. loved the skit. i made one of those ladder chairs, but intending it to double as more of a plant stand for potted plants rather than a ladder. works pretty good for that.

[@worstworkshop]

Thanks a lot! I bet it makes a great plant stand. 😄

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure there are plenty of quotes around journeys and destinations. If nothing else, you save a lot of people a lot of time and heartache by showing how stupid that chair actually is...

[@worstworkshop]

Thank you. It's so dumb.

I am currently building a step stool, again... 😅

Embrace the suck, my friend!

This is beautifully presented for the frustration that can come from a project that just isn't working out. It does make it that much more satisfying in the end.

[@worstworkshop]

Thanks for saying that!

[@jonmayer]

@@worstworkshop you're welcome. Sorry it turned out to be not worth it in the end. Dang tik toks

[@junkwagonllcDOTcom]

You got it. I won't. No need or want for it.

Since this is a safe place. I bought paint for every room in my home that we just purchased that had fresh paint. The wife spent months getting the best paint and perfect color for each space. Well that was over a decade ago and that paint all of it! Still under my work bench. We both try to get motivated to do it then drink some wine eat a steak and put that idea back to bed. Then she brought it up again and we sold our home and bought one that was already painted just how we like it💀 Our procrastination is now the new home owners problem and at closing his wife said I kid you not we are going to paint all the rooms! We looked at each other and said best of luck with that!

[@worstworkshop]

That is awesome!!
