The tool bucket has been a game changer for me, especially as I've been working on the addition. It's just a five gallon pail with the cloth insert. So much easier than a toolbox. As long as you don't overfill it.

Thanks! It's a wonderful upgrade from my dewalt contractor saw, which was a great saw in its own right.

Everywhere? I used spray polyurethane and this is me rubbing the final coat down.

Glad you liked the project - it was a fun one. What language in particular didn't you like? I bleeped the one significant swear in the video.

Overall I'm very happy with it. The depth gauge isn't super accurate, but that's not a huge deal because I'm not making crazy precision depth cuts. I was able to trim an eighth off of a cabinet panel while keeping the panel square, so that's about as accurate as I need it to realistically be.

Haha, yeah, they're great to have! I will say a lot of them were donated - we are sponsored by Rikkon, so a lot of those machines were either given to us or sold to us at a significant discount.

Thanks! Hope yours sounds as good or better than mine does! Nothing better than projects you can work on with the kids.

I'm glad it's working for you! It really is the most intuitive modeling software I've found. There are some limitations, which may well be more related to my design limitations, but for the most part it's got everything I'm looking for. Hope you design amazing things with it!

That's probably a good idea. I was also thinking of saving the cutters from Saran wrap boxes to use similarly.

@@NineRingsWoodCraft yes! That would work! Smart!

Those are both great ideas! I'll have to start saving them and try some of those.

Thanks for the opinion! I actually test tools as a job, and while you're right, the fuel is better, it's not THAT much better, particularly for the small scale applications that I use it for. Plenty of power to get my lawnmower blades off. For most people, the price upgrade isn't necessary. I got my set on sale for about half the price of what the equivalent FUEL set would have been.

I do love making projects for my kids. I built them loft beds that they still use a few years ago, and it's such a good feeling to see them using them every day!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! It was a fun project.

The step drill bit is a great idea. Hadn't thought of that. I'll have to give it a try for the next one!

Glad you like it! I was really surprised at how well it worked. And the go go gadget was fun - a little bit of nostalgia goes a long way. Thanks for the support!

@@NineRingsWoodCraft It does and its sad that not a lot of younger people know go go Gadget. I think the video did well because of the idea. I have been experimenting myself with ideas. People like ideas. I have a feeling that if you can find more ways to innovate on old ideas you could find a lot of growth.

Thanks! Yeah, definitely some frustrating moments, and I'd do a few things different if I were ever trying to make these for sale to make them a bit nicer, but overall I'm very happy with how it turned out. I have no idea what I'm going to do with two of these speakers now though haha.

Coheed is always a good choice. 👍👍👍👍

@@trentonbaird8956 Always and forever! I got copyrighted for having them playing at the end, so I had to overlay something royalty free, but it sounds best with Coheed.

For sure! It's definitely one of the jobs I like. We'd done it before in a previous house, and it's immensely satisfying. We'll have to rip up some more once construction is done and we get ready to put in the hardwoods. Good call on screwing down any loose pieces. We'll definitely have to do that before we put anything down.

I didn't measure exactly, but it was around a quarter of a pound per cavity, which seems to work well.

Thanks so much! I took a look through your channel and I think you're right! I subscribed to you as well, can't wait to see what you keep making.

Thanks my new found friend!@@NineRingsWoodCraft

Thanks :) I actually made a not-dead-blow one a couple of years ago, which I used to help make this one. Formed it down from a raw piece of firewood. DIY mallets are the best mallets.

That is probably true. I feel like ignoring that light is a way of life though, haha. I will say, my AC unit has been in since June, and the change filter light hasn't come on yet, and I'll be taking it out in a month or so. So for my relatively short AC season, once a year seems about right.

Glad you like it! Hope the PopSci article provides enough detail for you. Unfortunately I don't have any additional plans other than that.

@@NineRingsWoodCraft thank you that’s okay!

Thanks, it was a lot of fun. That katana you made is stunning.

Haha. I realized after I was done that I needed a shot of me using it, and I really wasn't in the mood for wine, and I certainly didn't want to open a new bottle to sip half a glass. Beer for the win!

Haha, thanks! Apparently he lives up in the attic somewhere? I wish he'd do more chores than just putting gift baskets together.

Duck eggs do also have bloom protecting them, so you can store them in a tray like this. I would imagine you'd just have to space the holes out more to fit the larger eggs.

Well, keep in mind we're a shared shop where there are 50-60 people who might use the tools in a given week. And the big resawing saws get WAY more sap and dust in them than the smaller saws. I only clean our little 9-inch once every 6 weeks or so because it doesn't get much use, and I clean my personal 10-inch about twice a year for the same reason. But yeah, if you've never cleaned it at all, might be worth giving it a little scrub. And definitely aligning the guide bearings and bars periodically is a good idea.

@@NineRingsWoodCraft Yeah, my 10" doesn't get used too much, but I really do enjoy using it.
