So cute haha little builder 😂

The work and music are fire!!

I just used this on some bare oak,... it didn't darken the colour like yours did - i wish it had

Man I like your design and thought process. The fact that you have 888 likes, in which the next like will be mine, is going to break apart your lucky number. In China, 888 is especially lucky.

Will you paint the door? What type of paint do you usually use?

Well done, I like it. The Vise for me is the best Vise you can buy, I use mine now 5 years and had never regret. 👍

Impressive, now do it by hands lol

Great video. Awesome to hear Kreg took care of it.

So you prefer the dog hole system over the match fit?

I’m looking to upgrade to the TS75 only because I’ve been working with thicker materials lately. I’ve been looking for an excuse to upgrade the Kreg for over a year but it’s worked incredibly well for me coupled with the TSO rail square. I had a problem with the Kreg mechanically but Kreg has the absolute best customer service ever. They sent a new one right away

Update: the new Kreg track saw arrived at my house in 2 days and I will be shipping the old one out today. Way to go Kreg!

Well done, keep it on!!

Nice to have some top of the line tools, but, hang onto that Kreg. You know it works, and, if you get into phenolics or formboards, etc, you will appreciate having something else to cut it with. Save that blade on the Festool for the finer work. Kudo's to Kreg. I had a Craftsman 10" table saw. The bearings went bad when I had something I wanted to finish real bad, so, off to the store I went to buy a new Jobsite.. But, when I slowed down, I ordered the bearings to replace it with, and I put it on a folding/rolling stand and keep a dado blade on it now. And, since I have done that, it seems I do a heck of a lot more dados in my construction, which is a good thing. I am glad to hear that about ANY Company these days, that gives good Customer Service.. Sometimes I hope they can at least tell me what their name is.. It's gotten pretty amazing in the last couple of years. Keep enjoying what you do and sharing it with the rest of us.. Cheers!

Great to hear about Kreg's service. I ended up going with the Milwaukee Saw and have been very impressed with it.

HEY.. BEFORE you get rid of those other MatchFit tables, I have a thought for you.. :) I guess you could always get back to cutting those "Sliding Dovetails :) and plug the dovetails at the top and outside edges of those tables you have left. Just get a snug fit and tap them, round them over so they don't catch the cord any more.. Ha... Then, drop a little bigger router bit and make 3-4" of one of the slots in some part of the table to be able to get your clamps back in.. Might be able to use a dog hole in a couple of the Intersections of the corners on your existing table to get the clamps into the grooves without using the table edges.. You would just loose a couple inches of each slot you widened to get the clamp in the slot.. Just thinking out loud. What do you have now? Dog holes on 6" Centers? Hard to tell from a video, but has to be at least 6" or more. I think the Dovetails would be a nice addition on the work table you have now. Just down the side in one area, and, some on the top to match those new side ones.. Just not to the edge of the table top. Check this out!! czcams.com/video/6J2lygYQFD8/video.html They use both the Dog Holes and Dove Tail Grooves. Not a bad combination.. It seems it would be nice when you start building cabinets, etc having the 90 degree clamping surface on top and 90 down. Given your experience, I think I'll do a small roll around table first Not the one in the video, just a table with castors I can drop a 4'x4' matchfit top on. (Just screw down the top for a bit and do one end down with a long match fit wall , and a short one on one long side, and leave the other long and short side with 4" of clamp area and see what I like.. Ha.. Sure seems like those would be some handy little tables if you got rid of some of the aggravations.. You did the right thing changing the design. I use F and C-Clamps on my Welding tables.. 99% of my clamping is holding something down to the table while tacking/welding. I built 2 roll around metal tables from gathered pieces/parts when I was 17 years old. The first table I built had Angle Iron under the table to the edge and down, making it impossible to use a C or F clamp from the top of the table. The second one, I chose to flip the angle around and have the flat on the outside and the down leg on the inside giving me about 3" of Clamping on the edge before the angle transition, then another 1.5" if I got up on the Angle to clamp.. But, that table had a piece of 1/8" plate on the top that had rounded edges and had been cut by hand, so, wasn't straight or square, so, I dedicated it to a chop saw and two bench grinders and used the first table I built with the angle leg dropping on the outside of the table.. I hated that, every time I grabbed a clamp and had to reach under the table to clamp it. I tacked pieces of square tube under it here and there, and finally Ran a 2x4 along one side and a 2 foot area on the other where I would often work. I grinned every time I had to clamp something for the next year or so.. Probably the same thing you do when you start sanding, and realize after 15 minutes, no cord hang ups.. Ha..Ha.. I didn't build another table for 10 years. It worked, and I had other things to build that were more important... Ha.. Which brings me to my next similar point.. I hate building prototypes too.. Damn things always work, but, never have what you would have put on the damn thing, had you known it was going to work so well anyway. No problem right? I'll just build another, but, it works, and you have other things to build.. Right? Ha.. That was 9 years ago and the damn thing still works just fine, does what I need it to do, so, I have not built another one. I even bought the stuff to build another once, and it sat in the shop. .Ha..Ha.. Finally, my buddy wanted to build one., and I already had the parts to build 1 more. I bought a HF 1hp motor, not realizing it would not work on Variable speed. That stopped me that time, and wasn't until my buddy wanted one and I had the motor and by then a set of step pulleys.. I had a plan. Build one for him, buy a 3phase and VFD for me.. Build one for him, then, I would finally build the Cadillac for me.. We got about 3/4 way through with it, and my buddy had a stroke, and, I put it in the back of the shop, so, I didn't have to look at it. I'm not going to finish it, until I get into my new shop. Then, I will stop and build both of them. One for the Metal shop and one for the wood shop, and, I'll call my buddy and see if he has anyone in the group that does not have one yet.. Why did I build the first one? A guy I just met invited me to a Blacksmith "Hammer Inn", and, everyone was standing around waiting to use this $4,000 grinder. I walked over and looked at it and said to myself, I bet I can figure out how to build one a lot cheaper. Most of the families didn't have $4k to drop on a 2"x72" Belt Grinder. So, I figured I would say thanks by building one on the cheap with just simple tools most DIY Garage Families would have. Then, I could give the design to the group where the individual families could afford to build one of their own. Well, it worked. 24 families in the group, and 23 built one of their own using skate board wheels everyone said wouldn't work.. I knew they would. I saw them being used in something called "Extreme Downhill Skateboard Racing". I immediately googled it, found out what kind of wheels and bearings a group like that would use.. I knew it would work for a grinder. Could not have been more than 30lbs of pressure on those belts... Anyway.. I started working on it about 9pm one night, finished it up at 6am the next morning. Didn't have a clue if I could get the tracking to work with wood, etc.. Didn't even sink the screws all the way in, until I had it working.. I made the video for the guy who invited me to the Hammer Inn. He was in Texas selling Christmas Trees and would be back home in a week.. He forwarded my video to the group and called me back in two weeks to tell me everyone either had one built or was in the process of building. One Dad sprung for a brand new Factory model for his kid, because the kid was good and was making/selling knives and making money with it. Now, you can search on CZcams and see a crapload of guys who used Skate board and wooden wheels. But, none before I posted my first video about it.. Ha..Ha.. Kinda cool.. Moral of the Story.. If it aggravates you, Fix it. But, on the prototype? Hmm... There was the skate board wheels that were not supposed to work, but, I was pretty sure they would(Hmm), and the tracking mechanism(Which I figured I could make it work, but, not with Crude tools everyone would have. I really didn't have the time to build it right then, but, decided I would give it a whirl one night. And, it worked so well, I didn't want to be without it, and, it became one of the tools that got used, every time I cut any piece of metal. Just to debur mostly, but, used it for a whole lot of things.. Even rounding ends on wood pieces, etc. It's about like a Disk or Belt sander is to a shop. One of those things, if you ever get one, the kinds of things you make expand, and you never want to be without one. Funny.. Get a good disk and belt grinder in a wood shop, and it will be the last time you cut anything right on the line again, if it can be done on the sander better.. Just like using a shooting board and plane when doing fine Joinery or miters, etc.. I think the guys who like to do hand tools and keep a plane and shooting board on the bench, just hate to sand anything... Hitting a board with a good sharp plane is about the same as sanding it to 1000 or 1200 grit.. The first time you get a good slice of end grain, it will blow your mind how smooth it is.. Anyway.. Back to my other projects.. I really enjoyed your videos.. I have one more bed build to watch and I think I covered the wood project videos.. Putting videos on youtube is kind of like writing a book about yourself for some future family member to see.. That cute little supervisor you have is very likely going to a corner in the shop she claims as her own, and, builds things for family and friends.. Sure is time better spent, that clicking likes on FB and IG.. Ha..ha.. You picked a good hobby.. Now, to get the wifey out there making things with you. When I was growing up, everyone my age was worried about Guess Jeans, Nike Shoes and the Friday night Football game. I couldn't wait to get home and tinker with something around the shop or yard, or, get to the woods in the winter months.. No regrets for sure...

Two questions: 1) Are you still using the 1/4" straight bit to do the hogging, or, did you switch to the 5/16 to give you some more spacing between, to make it easier to move the clamps, and have you found anything to use it like T-tracks for tools? 2) Is that MDF on the table? How is it holding up with the clamping, etc?

Snapped bit possibly or fence moved, the only other thing that could ruin the piece would be blowout but I don't think he got that far

does anyone know-know?

What happened???

Aaron, this is the exact Murphy kit that’s been on my wish list for our house (a kids’ living area that needs extra sleeping capacity). I’ve been putting off the project, but your video is encouraging me to get after this one. I always learn something new from you. Thanks!

Awesome build vid! Glad you're having your kiddo be a part of it.

❤❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing. This reminds me of my days in the shop with my three as they were growing up years ago.

Thank you for sharing. You save time but you also remove most common mistakes.

I wish I could find plywood that looks that nice!

What a wholesome moment. Dads building relationships with their daughters is the best thing for them!

It’s me Caleb hi 👋

I don't understand why you had to do pocket holes if you were going to nail it on to the board anyways. Seems like a waste of pocket holes.

I have 2 questions. (1) Do you have a complete video of your Murphy Bed build? (2) what is the height of the mattress when the bed is in the sleeping position? Thank You RLS

My wife isn't keen for me to handle one of these, I am sure she will sign off the purchase for child training purposes though.

Fabulous mentoring! Teaching safety. Explaining why you’re doing the task. Assisting just enough for her to lead. My daughter is 16 now and the best helper ever. She looks out for my mistakes. Usually is thinking one step ahead or at least what can I do to prepare for the next step. Has a whole assortment of skills that she is completely capable of doing. Not being scared is the first of many good steps in the right direction.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Best woodworking video EVER!!!!

Love it!! When my daughter was that age she would come into the shop with me😊 Great memories!! I wish I had videos. Keep going brother. She'll develop skills and abilities that most won't have. Also a ton of confidence👍🏻👏🏼

👍from🇦🇺

She’s already better than I. 😂

Great video. I'm buidling out one of the mobile Husky adjustable workbenches now. I was going to add the matchfit tracks to the top and sides (every 4 inches) but saw a couple videos where people thought every 4 inches would be overkill. If you were to make one again, would you change anything about the grid? Was thinking maybe 2 long tracks, one along each long edge, instead of the whole grid.

What do you finish dining tables with?

Good job dad, nailgun just Infront of your kid. I can't imagine what could go wrong here. Dad of the year

😍😍

Hell yea

Wholesome.

This is how my father raised my sister and I

When she pulled the trigger with her thumb I was like I do that all the time

Awesome!

Dad, don't stop. Involve her always. Your daughter will love you more than you could ever believe.

Great work Dad, you've got yourself a treasure there. Keep her close.

Teach your children well. That would make a great song 😂. Well done

Awesome father, and brave little angel.

Too cute not to leave a like. Wish more people cherished their kids.
