"Would you be Grace? Amazing!" is an underrated pun.

I love the abrupt ending to the videos, always makes me laugh!

[@Lincolnstww]

thank you for confirming why I buy new

[@ATAsgard1]

I know this guy!

[@adamchesis7443]

nothing made in the last 20 years is worth buying, The older stuff had far superior castings and much more precise machining

[@billymacmakes]

Another terrific video. I was genuinely thrilled when I saw this in my feed as I know you only put out great videos with interesting content and just the right amount of humour. Well done.

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

Thanks so much Billy! That really means a lot to hear!

[@WoodcraftBySuman]

I'm convinced you like replacing perfectly good bearings for fun.

Only 806 views?! I am truly appalled. Fantastic content and fervor in your videos I have seen so far. Keep it up, I hope your channel grows.

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

Thanks for the kind words Eric! I really hope so too!

[@MakewithJake]

This was fantastic! Love how you blended some great tips with a great story. Keep up the good work!

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

Thanks Jake! I've been experimenting in the writing process

[@Wordsnwood]

Okay, watched the other vid, which puts me firmly in the "buy new" camp. Or maybe "buy used and bribe Scott to come over and do it"... 😆😆 I do have a Delta Jointer that I would love to convert...

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

After doing so many machine restorations, I'm starting to side on the 'buy new' camp as well. It's a great was to save money if you're rich on time, but I am no longer rich on time. Jointer's are much easier to convert than planers. Less moving parts.

[@colemine7008]

I amazes me how you squeeze things into that space. I imagine you crawling over the top of them to get to them. When I whine in my own head about space I tell myself I have more room than Scott, and I should just figure it out.

[@celticwoodworking8706]

For a young woodworker you gave some great advice and an excellent presentation. Brilliant!

[@seanhayes5928]

[@FrugalFixerSpike]

I have become a Shopsmith Guy, multi tool for my little shop is working out perfect, and even if it is a 1980, I can still get every part for it from Shopsmith. Your editing is great and the camera work is great. Wish My wife, would help me shoot. But I am training my Grandkid to shoot for me, LOL and learn Shop stuff!!

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

Thanks so much for watching! I never used a shopsmith before but they seem interesting

[@averypeck6821]

Awesome video! Being just a hobbyist, I don't buy the industrial sized machines your looking at, but I have bought used equipment. I'm also one of those outliers being without a truck. Nice folding trailer! Also nice to see local content! I am about a hour from Toronto. Glad I subscribed. Keep up the great work!

Next video: how to hire a good divorce lawyer. :) Hey, I actually have a decent tip: Years ago I was looking to repair a (very common and very old) printer and found a guy who repaired them out of his house, and he did an excellent repair on my printer. He also had several sitting around for sale. My tip is, consider buying from the repair guy when you can. You get a tool that's in solid refurb condition, and you establish a friendly relationship that can be very beneficial. Not only can he fix your tools, but he's probably a great resource for finding that wierd part when you're maintaining your own equipment, AND he might be a good guy to grab a beer with while you exchange details and suggestions on your latest projects and watch your local football team lose.

[@calebhawkins624]

For those in the US don't forget about NAFTA and the Canadian exchange rate if you're interested in Machines. In 2003 I bought some great General woodworking machines from Canada for 60 cents US for every Candian dollar. General Machines, made outside of Montreal and are\were considered on par with Powermatic but I thought even better. I bought the machines from a broker in London, Ontario at a further 20% off. Also, with NAFTA there was no import fees at the border. Furthermore, the Broker convinced me to buy a drum sander and shaper because he would deliver the machines to this side of the border in Detroit. Originally I only wanted the 350-52 cabinet saw. The deal saved me 2 hours of an 8 hour drive to Detroit along with the Custom's hassle at the border. Although there is no costs at the border anymore you still have to deal with Customs. After about a year and a half I accepted I didn't like working with the machines and sold them all and made money on the deal. If you're looking for machines and near the border, consider looking in Canada. Also, the older large, "green" General International machines are what the likes of Delta has become. Chinese. Not bad machines but they are not Generals.

[@Hengry-hn7rb]

50% of my woodworking machines i got used & i did not do a thorough check on them . i just took their word for it , but the machines are doing great. You have a beautiful looking helper i need to find me one ... a helper . 😐

Thanks Alvin!

[@bobbybyrne1899]

you and your significant other are hilarious, and your endings are both refreshing and funny.

[@EverymanBuilds]

This is absolutely why I buy new - I probably could figure out how to replace bearings and all the other things but for something that spins razors at thousands of RPM near my person, I don't want to take the risk of forgetting a set screw.

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

Hah, yeah I get it. After the first couple of rebuilds, I kinda got over that. Although the first time turning a jointer on after a knife change is always a little butt clenchy

[@stevebell4906]

But the kid that they hired this morning with no experience and for minimum wage ...doesn't share your worries!

[@Woodified]

Great video. I stopped looking for used tools. There is not enough nearby on the used market where I live.

[@Thatontarioguy]

as a fellow Ontarian thanks for the recommendation saved me over 100 bucks buying a jointer head from them instead of busy bee, and now i love my jointer again!

[@asbrand]

I have a DeWalt DW735X benchtop planer, which I love. However, I *really* wanna get one of those carbide helical cutter heads for it.

[@bobruddy]

love seeing others use a case and trailer. so much more economical

[@russbartlett2875]

Love your information and presentation. A little over the American version love the Canadian. From an Aussie newbie wood worker .

[@elijah4606]

Bought a compressor and tank for $60 last year. Spent $25 on a replacement valve plate. Had to use part of a silicone baking sheet as gasket material. Still need to get a quick connect fitting for the outflow. I'm still below the "new" cost but I would have saved myself a lot of hassle buying new. I've learned a lot about compressors that I otherwise wouldn't have, though.

[@irwineverett4168]

Hey Scott! Where did you get that amazing trailer!?! I have limited space but also want a small trailer and that bad-boy fits the bill! Thanks so much!

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

If you're in the states, they sell them at harbor freight (they're red). In Canada, I've seen them on Costco's website, but I got mine off a local guy who imports them privately.

[@irwineverett4168]

@@ScottWalshWoodworking thank you so much! I'm in Canada so I'll keep an eye out on Costco for sure! Thanks eh!

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

if you're in southern ontario, google 'hts trailers'. I believe Jeff is his name, he's a nice guy.

[@irwineverett4168]

WOW! So helpful! I'm in Alberta but I have my eyes peeled! *Said with Albertan drawl* Imma get me one-a dem trailers! Haha

[@jzrgrmm]

Depending on the motor, it would be easier just to get another phase from the panel, since the current draw at 120V would just pop the breaker or melt the wiring.

[@FrankyG22]

Awesome advices, really enjoy your style as well. Are you going to release a video about your planer rebuild process? I have the same one to do and would love to get your experience about it!

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

check the link in the description, there's a video that i produced for sheartak about the planer rebuild.

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

I bought one looks almost the same as yours but 15”. It even says “15” auto planer”. I adjusted the bed rollers a little and now it snipes very little. I do want to get a shelix cutter head for it, but I need to take the current one out and measure some key dimensions. Endless projects down the road.

[@neilllester9226]

Great Video!!

Great tips and advice, I love Rachel's expressions lol 3 hours! man you should of swung by our sawmill, maybe next time xoxo Sandy

[@jeffbesselaar3964]

Man I just discovered your channel today and it's so refreshing to have someone who lives in my general area (GTA) making content and giving advice! It feels more applicable to hear about all things woodworking from someone in the same area especially regarding costs, searching used and selling local. Also you and your girlfriend are hilarious and I love the content!

[@connorfood]

someone watches the @vlogbrothers 7:50 hahaha love the channel, exciting to see a fellow young Canadian doing woodworking in a small space!

[@couldhaveseenit]

I want to see/hear more about that folding trailer of yours

[@PirataEscondido]

holy shit bro. your videos are well produced

[@ragcell]

As expected, another great video. Upgrading to a spiral planer cutter head was the best improvement you could do. When you have the kind of horsepower, you now have. Why bother with "regular" knives?

[@BillCoale]

"in the doobly-doo"... I love it! 😆

Great video!👍🏻🇨🇦

[@RPMWoodworks]

Love your videos and the information within. I scrolled but didn't see my question. Do you have info on that trailer? I could use that in my garage shop.

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

They are imported by various distributors. If you're in the states, I believe Harbor Freight sells them (they're red I think). I found a local guy who imports them privately in hamilton, on. I've also seen them on Costco's website in the past. Just search for 'Folding Trailer'. It's a class 1 so it's rated for 2000lbs, but I probably wouldn't go much over 1000lbs.

What trailer is that? It looks serviceable and is obviously storable.

[@kylercote1]

Hey Scott, I just picked up the same planer this past weekend and was wondering if you found a parts supplier for these. I watched your sheartak video and it looked like you had found some parts for them where as i am having no luck lol. Needing a new a outfeed roller, chain sprocket, dust extraction port, etc. Thanks! Great video as always

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

Some of the parts are interchangeable on this 15" grizzly planer: www.grizzly.com/products/g1021/parts For a 16" machine, the outfeed roller might not be available. I had mine recoated by a machine shop that specializes in rollers for printing presses.

Fewer features and parts scarcity vs higher quality materials and lower cost. Age old questions. One overlooked factor: used tools are a good choice for the environment.

[@guitarchitectural]

does your motor pivot for blade changes? that's the only possible downfall of the motor-on-top design, especially for sheartak cutterheads where you're going after the cutterhead more often - some of the old motor-on-top designs require taking the motor off just to access the blade

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

no, I will have to take the motor off if I was to rotate the carbide inserts. But that will be a longer interval than a hss straight blade would be.

[@guitarchitectural]

@@ScottWalshWoodworking nuts! well I look forward to hearing your experience - in my experience carbide starts sharp but are very brittle, so the inserts do need to be rotated fairly often. which of course is dependent on the volume of planing being done. what we really need are HSS inserts, haha!
