Can you explain the templates you have attached? 30x32 vs 40x40? Neither appear to be similar to what you drilled in the video so I am confused. Thank you.

To me the WEN has not a spiral head cutter but straight with offset cutter blades.

I used the templates provided in your link and had nothing but issues with misalignment on my lower rails.

Built a plastic melt oven in the 70s galvanized trash can and 6 infrared bulbs works great with fan venting old school tech

love your router jig! wonderful piece you've made! I might make one myself.

That’s saved me so much hassle, thank you

Dewalt! Getting one

This is an amazing video!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!!! <3

Great video 👍 where did you get that round end stop? Can’t seem to find it

Great workbench! Hope you are at least thinking about planning to make plans for this bench!?

I threw more money than I wanted at the Woodpecker. The original super fence was ok, especially with the additional micro-adjust (extra $), but I could never get the infeed and outfeed fences to stay coplaner. Then Woodpecker came out with an expensive $350 SF-Pro upgrade that I bought. The upgrade has precise screw adjustment that solves problems with the original design.

Excellent idea. I had an issue with a long board that had a face bow. As I fed it through the Cutech 10-inch jointer, I failed to notice that the board bow followed the short infeed bed and caused unevenness. Your solution should help me in the future. Thanks for this video.

I am glad I came across this video. My 10-inch cutech came with the aluminum fence. I didn’t know there was a cast iron one now available.

I built a aluminium trailer very very similar to Airstream Basecamp. Am old and retired and needed the distraction. Built the frame from oak and skinned it with 4’x8’ aluminium sheet. To improve on the Airstream I made the front window much higher than they did plus instead of framed windows I made continuous black tint acrylic sheets 900mm wide (Australia) but 2.4m long (8’). I got the front curved piece out of one sheet which I draped over a saw horse in the sun for couple days. Then use hairdryer and strapping to bring it to shape...worked great. 2 rear 90 degree corners it used a jigs and butane torch and block of pine to get it right. This week I started to bring it up to ready for sale and realised what the design team at Airstream knew all along. In the sun the forward black tinted acrylic expanded breaking my elastic seals. Tomorrow I shall remove the front screen and fit curved channel top and bottom and slotted end attachment points to allow needed sideways movement. Need then added trim above to ensure waterproofing. May as well add LED strip lighting to the upper seal whilst I’m at it. Am sign writing side and rear for upcoming road trip to sell as a 2 berth camper or coffee kiosk.

nice job, next time put some painters tape on the bottom edge to act as a drip edge to prevent the epoxy from creating drips on the bottom, you then peel the tape off after it has set up but BEFORE it is hard. should give you a nice clean bottom edge. Using the router was a great idea.

Nice cabinet! I honestly thought that corks will release a ton of bubbles but it worked out great.

I just made some half-assed boards from bare studs and some 1/2" plywood since I don't have a table saw or anything fancy. These are very clean looking! Need to get a table saw and router badly!

Great video! May I ask where you got the router sled? Thanks.

Awesome video. At around 3:25 which color is that minwax gel stain? And what color is the general?

So for some reason when I print out the 40x40 template it’s cut off

Feeling like you need 10 significantly expensive tools to make another tool "inexpensively" rather than buying it...

Simple, easy, works. What’s not to like! Thanks for sharing 👌

Nice work, looks very professional. I've done acrylic in an oven like this before. I don't really recommend doing this inside your home, it gives off some strong toxic gas/odors.

Beautiful nice work

Probably been asked this so many times,but I did not see it. Do you make boreds that u sell?? I would love a set, with out paint to put my own design on. Wonderfully will made video thank you

I'm have trouble open the pattern links.

The recent improvements of the Cutech Jointers (the older versions are painted gray and newer are black) is exactly why I chose them. Not only did they give the option of a cast iron fence, they also added more supporting brace bars running across inside the jointer that makes it feel more solid then the fact that benchtops all have the same outside appearance but this has extra stability, along with the fence supports which is also a fantastic upgrade. The fact the new ones came in 8, 10 or 12 inch ( the latter two have a bit more power under the hood) was also big....though I chose the 8" one for space reasons. Once I realized all the extra design they put in over their older cookie cutter benchtop design of basically all of them I wanted to support a company that has pushed that design further in making it a better jointer overall. And just so you know, they have also changed the support brackets that you can get with the cast iron fence from 7 !/2 to 8 1/4 for added stability since the cast iron is obviously heavier....and taller. just another example of them taking in feedback and doing something about it...love mine!!!

Very nicely done and well explained. I hadn't considered the off-gassing of the acrylic as a safety issue. BTW...great looking display case!

Thank you for the video. Very informative, fact-based and unbiased!

👍

Love it! I made a VERY CHEAP version (way before watching any videos or examples) and it didn't work to good. This is very awesome. Thank you.

Very educational and entertaining. Your cabinet look great.

Great video.

genius. i built some 4ft extension wings that i clamp on to my benchtop jointer....but this is great for shorter pieces.

Hi excellent video, how was the finish ? I see some tracks at @8:32, how you got rid of that? Do have to go over many times or just some orbital sanding will clear up those tracks ?

How much does the lumber cost..?

good video

So you apply all your coats of Spar Urethane & don't sand till before the last coat applied? No sanding in-between coats? I'm at that stage right now and just trying to get advice.

One of the best vids I’ve seen on planing small pieces.

beautiful work. love that you includeda parts list and your mistakes, it really makes the project feel more approachable.bravo!

Really helpful, thanks!

I ended up putting drink holders on mine as well. But, Instead of a 2x4, I used a 1x4 board and a 2 3/4" hole saw. No problem fitting in the beer cans & bottles. Works great! Question though... I was going to buy the water-based spar urethane to protect my gloss paint. But the paint supply guys told me that it was unnecessary if using water-based exterior gloss paint. Because it already had the UV protection, etc mixed in it. What do you think?

Curious, how much deflection do the steel bars get with the router weight comparing the middle to the outside? I wondered if that’s why people were opting for the other beams with the support like you have on the side? Was it to reduce sag under weight? Or did you find that the 20MM thick bar was thick enough to avoid deflection?

That's all we want. A dirty bean bag in our back edge cup holder. I think a launch area standing cup holder with scoreboard is a far more appealing option.

great video, thanks

Your boards came out great! I like the beer/drink holder idea. It's a great idea & look. The only thing is that the bags will eventually slide off the board & contaminate the drinks? Bags do get dirty...Very nice build though. Good job 👍.

This was excellent! Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank for sharing dad

Interesting box joint method! Thanks for the video

Why does the head being spiral count as a spiral cutter?, I guess the blades are staggered which I guess might help the cut?, I used to have a bird head I installed into a rigid 13" planer, I can't remember if knives where square, wildfire got my shop. It cut great.
