Getting ready to build some French cleats and I appreciate the tips.

Great build, Daddio. The only thing I would do differently is add dovetails to connect the bottom, which you didn't do. They would add way much more strength to the bottom, and when carrying heavier tools, as I used to do as a commercial carpenter, a fallout would never be a consideration. Look forward to watching the timber frame build.

I found that glueing and brad nailing before the blocks then drilling and screwing makes it a little easier.

If I were doing professional woodworking I could justify spending that much on a sander as it would see a lot of use. As someone who only uses a sander maybe twice a year on projects around the house I'd be more inclined towards the cheaper one (In fact I bought a WEN version of it) for simple economics.

Sheesh ....600 and change for the jet, that's just to much for what it is, and it appears the dust collection is not all that...what I'm guna do is find the middle of the road machine for this ...

Workbench heights are pretty personal. I'm 5'9 and my bench is 37" tall. I use mostly power tools and I don't like bending over because I have a bad back,

Instead of the wrench and nut do you think a wing nut might be easier,faster and just as effective?

This is selling for $139 this weekend

Cool 🙏🏽

Why have you removed to riving knife from your table saw? Is there a benefit to not having it on?

Thank you for the tips. I will avoid this while building mine.

thank you

Fantastic workspace.

Keep in mind this is a PRE- Biden price ...... $180 now

😊una belleza ésa máquina 😊

I think you still should have purchased the larger one at Harbor Freight, which is exactly like the one you got from jet, but it’s half the price that would have been the one to get and compare it to that would be apples to apples now yes I understand that jet is still going to be a lot nicer than the Harbor Freight. I mean it cost $300 more but you also get a stand with it and it sits on the floor and it’s up as high as your desk so you know that in itself is handy and you have a one horsepower motor but like I said, the jet is still going to be a better belt center, but you could have a betterway of comparing them

Why didn’t you get the same size as the jet? You got the small belt sander? Harbor Freight has one just like the one you purchased and it comes with a stand and it’s only $300. That way you could’ve been comparing apples to apples instead of apples to a grape.

What an operation! It’s cool to see the progression of the shop in to a full blown guitar making facility. Great work!

Enjoyed the shop tour!

I haven’t seen a post for your channel since the treadle lathe and I believe you was making your first guitar back then ,go figure.

Found this mesmerising to watch. Thank you.

Thx 4 review, Lowes in Hawthorne CA has it on clearance for $179.00. I'll buy one to do minor DIY projects. The clearance price works for me.

Rock on Daughtry 🤘🏼

I have one and love it

If this can knock nails out, surely it can hammer them in, too? Similarly, couldn't an air palm nailer be used for removing nails just as easily?

With the benefit of second hand hindsight, you could leave some space at the bottom of the locking cleat and drive a little wedge to tighten it down.

A luxury pole lathe!! You look very focused and patient. Great job.

I like you tell us measurements, happy I found your you tube videos. All I ever want to do is receive knowledge and build

Fine unless you've got buried antique nails

i think you used the wrong side of the disc.... need to feed material into the disc where it feeds down onto the table. Is that right?

Could you route, saw, or plane off 1/2” of the top horizontal surface and then attach a correspondingly thick “replacement” ply of oak to attach as a “topper,” permanently marrying them together, drilling all the aligning “mole holes” for the dogs? I believe, with plenty of glue, you would have a solid 1/2 oak veneer top, but still have the heft, density, and sturdiness the y-pine offers from beneath right? Honestly, if I ever build one I think I would do that on purpose because in my mind the joining of the y-pine from beneath the oak at 90 degrees makes me feel there would be added strength and might prevent the softer pine membrane from warping, twisting or bowing over time do to the right angle competing tensions of the y-pine and oak’s grains.

what kind of wood did you use for this? looks like a soft/white wood?

What you and every otger reviewer online doesnt mention is the size if the box it comes in, so I can know if it will fit in my car. I live rural and frieght for this costs a fortune. Need to know if it will fit in my/my oartners car. We fit a 1600mm long bench seat in her car comfortably but this is closer to 2000 i think?? With it been flat pack is it perhaps smaller than 2000mm?

You sure about that cam clamp?

Where are you buying this on Amazon for 80.00? Cheapest I see is over 200-300

That’s awesome- good luck on the new venture! I’m looking forward to seeing your shop tour.

What is the name of the tool that appears to be a rolling pin with a razor blade on it? Amazing work by the way!!

Beautiful - what wood did you use?

Shitty review

If you use hard wood for the top it will get dinged up, it will just take longer and will be harder to plane out. I built mine like a joiners bench with holes on the side for pegs. That way you can put the end of the board in the end of the vice and lower it to the right height for you.!

should have compared the Harbour Freight Bauer vs the Jet. only $20 more , widely available under other names, and outsells the Central Machinery by 15:1

Even 4 years later 😊 informative!

Thank you for the fantastic video. Have you considered permanently attaching that temporary spacer to the front of the bench?

I payed..... something-and-88 cents..... Groundhog Day ;-)

Great video and nice design! I know it would be extra work, but subtitles explaining what you're doing and maybe even including dimensions would be amazing. Still really fantastic though, great work!

The one time I tried to punch a line of stitching holes through 2 layers of leather at the same time, the tines got stuck. Was I using the wrong kind of punch?

Great review!

Sheet it with mic arts or hardboard using contact cement.Renewing it takes 2hrs tops.

I'm about to do French cleats and your spacing stopped me from making a huge mistake!!

This is awesome Jimmy! Cant wait to get a tour in person some day.
