Bummer about the finish but it turned great!

I've used the Rubio white 5% on white oak before and it looks great. - Chris

Turned out great looking to me. Well done

This will not fit the rails of my Kobalt router table, however with a couple of clamps to hold the base down it works fine

None of the equipment you have in the sharpening corner draws much current so I would add a surface mount 1900 extention ring witha single flat mud ring mounted on the back attached to the duplex outlet mud ring and install a four gang (2 duplex outlets in the larger surface mounted 1900 box making it easy to plug in all your equipment w/o too big of a job.

Was nice to see some things you would have done differently! With the idea of another building for lumber storage, would it just be extra long term lumber storage or all lumber storage and you wouldn’t have much lumber stored in your shop? Also, I’m assuming the building won’t be heated or cooled so would the changing conditions of frigid winters and hot Montana summers have any effect on the lumber or is that not an issues as long as there’s not a lot of moisture?

Put a pump on the barrel and pump it directly into a dumpster or an enclosed dump trailer. Set it up so that when the dust collector is on the pump is on also.

Thanks!

Just used Fiddes for the first time on an antique restoration project. The aim on this particular project was to "conserve" the look of very old, high patina wood (deep ridges, dips & worn areas from 100+ years of use, and variants in color of the wood) - and Fiddes has left the wood looking healthy, natural & smooth to the touch without being sticky, glossy or plastic-like. It has conserved aged wood in a restorative way without removing the wood's history. My only warning would be that it significantly deepens the wood color. I had hoped not to deepen the color too much, so I was a bit disappointed - however - the wood was very dry, needing the oil, and it still looks amazing. The color is rich & natural. Definitely test an area of wood first before beginning.

Did you sand again between the 2 coats of Fiddes?

Can I just use this sled and make my own "XL" fence? I get that I won't have the bigger metal keys, but as a beginner, I just didn't want to make a whole sled from scratch.... PS: I have one coming today that has 3 size keys - 1/2, 3/8, & 1/2. Will likely make a fence for 3/4 & 1".

wow so expensive

You have every bit of equipment going

Nice frame. I've never seen a flag with that many stars before. I did see a gold star bumper sticker about 6 months ago. I too served in the Gulf war. 782nd Maintenance Battalion, 82nd Division.

Awesome!

does this help in keeping big sheet good,s like lets say sides for a pantry, right on the fence?

Can you briefly explain how you squared up your miter slot to the fence and blade? Is the fence just sitting directly above the blade to line up with the kerf?

Beautiful, Kev~! Yet another first-class project~!

Nice 👍🏾

Another nicely done project. Thanks for sharing.

Great job, Kev! I have a future office that will have an L shaped desk and I’ve been looking at designs over the past year. I never thought of using an L shaped sit/stand and now I have a lot more ideas! Thanks for the video and all your time in showing your processes.

Very timely video as I just started to investigate alternatives due to cost. Some of the new alternatives available in US and Europe are not available here unfortunately. Does your cost comparison take into account double coat requirement for Fiddes?

Nice improvements. Love seeing the tools tighter together. I do like hand planes on shelves but usually when it’s an overflow cabinet and not for your most used planes in a vertical oroentation. I still really love the saws, measure & marking, and chisels on the outside great choice. My only hand tool snob comments are my preferences. Shooting plane I find too awkward in wall cab and the extra step so I store it with the board under my bench. Then the bigger snob thing is magnets for planes are not for me. I love the short pocket for the heels to sit inside. Deep enough to not allow plane to tip out even if pulled back on purpose. Those things are minor to the work done and usefulness your cabinet will provide.

Looks like this one may have some audio issues. Only hearing the voiceover sections

Lucky client to have you build this for them! Great job and looks awesome!

👍👍👍💪💪💪😎😎😎

I've had my set for about 2 years now and they are the single best update to my saw. I use them for nearly every cut and they work perfectly. I even ordered an extra rail so that I can place it, along with the arms, on my router fence when needed. It improves my handling of larger cuts when making either rabbits or custom trim parts. While I have an use the Jessem router stock guides, the extra reach of the table saw stock guides on the router fence comes in handy with larger stock at times. (My router table is a wing extension of the table saw, allowing it to handle large items)

Nice work, Can I ask how much you charge for a piece like that? Thank You

A very nice job,

Wow, man. That’s really nice.

Great table looks really good! Yes, get help for the heavy stuff. No body wants a bad back.

Beautiful shop. How nice to work in. The one thing you had that was most important is your shop dog. No shop should be without one. I have a 6 month old Beagle and she can find things I didn’t even know I had. And if you drop something you have 2 seconds to pick it up before it’s gone lol well it’s 2024 and I’ll bet you have your new lathe. Your granddaughter is very lucky. When my first of 3 sons was born I made an 18 th century reproduction cradle. All solid black walnut. Carved wheat sheafs W on the top front. A family heirloom . Four grandkids started life in there lol. Before too long I suspect a great, great grandkid. Interesting as I was a tool and die maker at the time. Now my garage hobby shop is metal and wood working. Pretty much the same processes. Just different medias. Wishing you much success sir. Enjoyed your video. Hope to make my first shop tour in a few months.

The top turned out really nice. And I agree with you - I also need help on the heavy stuff anymore.

I feel like I won the lottery this morning. I have had the same table and stand for a really long time, and dust collection has always been its Achilles heel. For anything other than something small, I usually roll it outside which is a pain. I was lying awake in bed this morning working through what an enclosure may entail given everything on the underside of the table. I ran a quick search hoping to find that someone had done something sufficiently similar on a more generic table and lift that I could adapt to the undercarriage of the Jessem table/stand. And when I saw the intro to your video, I instantly recognized the setup. I know you thought the video ran long, but for my purposes, thank you for every minute!

nice shop. very organized and clean

Liked your magswitch inset for better rigidity under kickback stress. One question though. What jigs would interfere with the Jessem T-track they provide? (assuming the rollers are removed from the track prior to using the jig on the fence ). PS. Nice smooth drone footage on the intro!You’re one of the few flyers that actually doesn’t film himself in the zoom using the clip to imply an aerial transition into the woodshop. You obviously know your tools well.

What size is your shop? It's amazing and thanks for sharing!

Nice! Can’t wait to see the new had tool cabinet.

no sound!

Every video is a treat. I’m always trying to cut back on CZcams and often prefer channels that put out videos somewhat irregularly. Excited for hand tool cabinet updates.

Thank you for this video! I made these yesterday for my Milescraft tracks because they were so simple looking. They were easy to build and install and they are perfect! Thank you for sharing these. If you designed these, you are a genius, Sir!

Very helpful. What is the "paper bag treatment"?

I brought a PM66 about 26 years ago and it’s still running with a 5 horse power Baldor motor. I also brought the old 14 in Powermatic bandsaw with a 1 horse Baldor motor and it’s still running. Both machines were made in the US. Sorry for your problems.

Growing up as a cabinetmaker for 35 + years,the powermatics where the cats meow, sounds like the quality gas nose dived and they took advantage of their reputation, your situation sounds like a horror story....thank you

You're an inspiration!

oops at 1:42 the voice over works I am an owner of the older TA fence that is gold in color . it is a fantastic piece of equipment the fence slides so much better than the lesser version of fence from jessem.

is the sound all messed up I heard the music in the intro but the voice I dont hear it it at all

Nice build, and well explained. When mounting the runner, if you want to avoid putting screws in from the top, double sided carpet tape will stick the hdpe to the base, then you can flip it over and just screw from underneath 🙂

Amazing shop Kev!!! Layout is perfect!! Your shop is almost a blueprint. Of what I wanted my shop to be. When I first started woodworking in 2020. I built a roubo style WB with the benchcrafted leg vise. Im about to install that HNT Gordon Tailvise into it. Just finished my mitersaw station with a ton of drawers. my first "big" project was my 4x8 torsion box outfeed/assembly table with a lot of drawers. my space is just 20x20 but having a lot of drawers and flat surfaces has done wonders for the size constraints IMO

Is that guide going to be sent with new RG-2's?
