I'm kind of a beginner.........which joint is better (stronger) rabbet,,dowel rods,,,,or biscuit joint.

What's the amp draw with the filters

40 yrs in this industry and have never had (or heard of from a real person) ANYTHING related to static problems in PVC dust collection. Tons of garbage info on the internet. Nice video- and was fun to watch the time lapse- I wish that ability had existed for my career (sort of lol). You will be able to share your day to day via video with your kids and grandkids.

or get a exhaust ceiling fan instead of electric fan?

Very nice, but like many have said your bracing goes the wrong way… it’s not just for the look of a barn door… it’s for structural integrity.

I'm a newbie I've done some board glueups with stock up to 2 meters. I was wondering if doing a glueups such as the one you illustrate, which features boards touching end grain to endgrain would result in trouble in terms of wood movement. Is it safe?

I'm in the middle of installing similar lumber rack orange metal shelves that are welded one piece, 3 shelves/ 4 rack. I had similar concerns of not wanting to install the rack right into the construction wood studs of the shed, so i added extra 2x4 pieces, attached to the studs, & then installed the lag bolts into that extra stud wood pieces. And like this video, I then had second thoughts, that the added short stud pieces were too small, & maybe I should just have them run all the way to the floor. I was trying to solve that, when finding this video. Working with such a lumber rack build, you quickly realize the weight concerns. Some of my wood includes sculpture/ small logs. I quickly realized how massively heavy they are, despite only being about 6" thick; & these will be stuffed elsewhere, despite initial plans....I'm thinking of adding some 'triangles of wood under the rack too, for weight bearing, that will protrude back flat against the wall, running along the studs wood & under the bottom of the rack unit. I'm still wrestling with idea to instead add yet another stud beams under the bottom of the rack, running to the floor, for weight bearing...plus some construction adhesive too between all of the parts. As I'm not an engineer, it leaves you uncertain what will go & what won't. Wood is heavy. For context, I think of kitchen cupboards, & how they hold heavy dishes, within large heavy wood boxes, bolted to the wall with cabinet lag bolts, to help give some perspective. To add shelving across the horizontals, something lighter weight, like netting or chicken wire or plastic sheets might save some weight over OSB.

How the hell do you secure the speed box? Once you take that fastener out, it’s impossible to secure it again. It uses a loose nut inside the casing to secure it. Any ideas?

Hello and thank you for the video. I have purchased the Medium Chicken Tractor plan. I am trying to install the roost but it is not flush on one side despite the measurements being correct and the roost fairly square from corner to corner. I see that you installed your cross braces for the roost after you had the supports in. I don't understand why mine will not fit with all measurements between triangles being correct and the roost being correct. If you can tell me how to correct without taking the roost apart I would be grateful.

You really should not be doing instructional videos on things you're not very good at.

I just ordered one on amazon, after watching your video. Thank you for reviewing!

I know this was done a few years ago but thank you. TWW didn't show both the mortis and the tenon. This tied everything together for me. If anyone else watched this from here on our... I'd recommend watching the wood whisperer's video as well. It's filmed a little differently and complements this one very well.

Don’t be embarrassed. I came here solely to find the unlock pin. Thanks!

Fantastic!

Great video! Thank you!

I just got one of these and cant wait to use it. I've used drill presses before so this is pretty straight forward but your video helped me understand the chuck installation. But one question, can you add a second column. I haven't unpacked mine yet so I don't know if the column is threaded or not.

I bought this best bang for your buck!

With a tankless air compressor just a block no big barrel the don't use oil those I say you'd get away without a filter but your grease and condensation filter are very underrated yet a must! From whatever condenses or comes through in oil form from your tank. An uneven or unaccounted for factor that's making the paint not bad but maybe it wasn't made up to code. Then this thing will save your life! Mind you I'm talking from the airbrush standpoint so there a bit of condensation or grease is death you don't need more then 35/40psi to make them work but the filters? Truly don't underestimate their use is my opinion oh and I use the Norgren brand they're more top of the line, not cheap but affordable enough! I've had mine for half a lifetime like a good 15 years? Still purrs like a kitten! Plus when I do switch to a more high volume spraygun I simply leave it on there and especially say I've been doing some random low pressure acrylic painting and then I need to throw a coat of enamel over something big. The pressure goes up? Then so does the condensation in the tank plus even without a tank they are noisy but also heat up after a while so the moisture never goes away in a sense ✌️

The Plug-It cord that comes with the TS55 is a heavier gauge cord and the smaller cords that come with the router, sander’s, etc will Not work,with the TS55. That said, the TS55 cord will work with the other tools. The end that the cord plugs into the saw, has different keying to prevent the smaller cords from being used. Congrats on your new saw, I have had and used all the different models of the TS55 during the last 20 odd years, and the new TS55 released recently is the best one yet, with better adjustments and the new thinner blade makes cleaner cuts. Cheers

I brought my dad’s old craftsman router home with me when I was selling his house. I put it under my router table. I was busy doing something at the table and the damned thing turned on by itself. I unplugged it, detached it and examined it. There was a wire that was exposed and my bumping the table jiggled the wires I guess? Needless to say, it’s no longer in my workshop. UNPLUG people.

This is super helpful! Bought a router then quickly realized I needed a table (beginner), and I bought this one. Your video will be my go-to for set up, so thank you. I was wondering the height of your workbench. I bought a Craftsman early on and - it sure is pretty but - it’s too high for this. I don’t want to make that mistake again. What do you recommend for the height of the work bench for this, and how much space would you allow on either side, if it’s a stand alone piece? Thanks in advance! Ashlynn

Video good, music SUCKS!

How did the track do? Did "stuff" ever get stuck and keep the door from closing?

I built something similar to this for shelving, but I drilled through the boards and used tapcons to pull them into the wall After seeing yours, it may have been overkill what I did. I know this video is 2 yrs old so I’m late to the party as usual. It’s a good video man. Ty.

What paste wax are you using?

Thanks for this video. I just purchased the same bench plane. I have not done wood working since high school wood shop class (I loved it). Recently I've gotten into woodworking. I read the manual several times was still a bit confused on if my blade was ready for use and how to exactly get everything aligned. Your video along with another one I watched was great. I'm about to sharpen my blade, I purchased a kit to sharpen blades and a bevel guide to sharpen at a particular degree. I'm going to put that 35 degree micro bevel the instructions talk about. Once that's done I'm going to do your trick of testing the edges to ensure the blade is level. Then I'll practice a bit on some scrap wood and then go to town on my real piece that needs some work. Thanks for helping me get things aligned! Cheers.

How has it held up?

I have the same one. I'm a little disappointed that the dust port and the m18 wet/dry vacuum hose dont connect well.

What do you have attached to the back 2.5" to bring it to a 4" on the top?

If I used the glue, then screwed the wood together afterward for added strength, could they be used to frame, say a chicken tractor, and be sturdy enough?

What kind of joint do you recommend for a door jamb ?

Just bought this, because is cheap and I’m just playing with wood at the moment. Your video covered all the questions I had. Thank you!

Do you have any recommendations for what to use to hold down a 2 inch wood sphere while drilling?

Thanks. I’ve been so fed up with mine for a while. I can use it how it’s intended now 👍🏻

Did you replace the cutters with a helical head?

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You answered all my questions. Good luck on your projects!

Thank you for such a thorough test!

Thank you! I just ordered mine and can't wait to get it set up! Now I feel like I can confidently calibrate it - I didn't know what to do before!

Enjoyed this build and your method of filming. Look forward to the next installment.

My neighbor who has a 735 told me: “If you don’t get the grain direction right, it’s like petting a cat backwards”

Thanks

This is the BEST review I've seen! Very helpful and in-depth! Thank you.

This has got to be the weakest lacquer I've ever seen. Lacquer is among the hardest wood finishes, much harder than hardwax oils would be expected to provide. My feeling is the lacquer was either: old/expired, very thinly applied, or simply some kind of lacquer varnish that is not what most people think of when aiming for a durable lacquer finish. I can't explain it - because I've used lacquer to much better success - maybe someone else can explain why it's so incredibly weak in this video.

You mentioned the main issue near the end of the video.... you were using the wrong species of wood. I don't feel like you were having trouble with your staining process. It seems like you were expecting the two different types of wood to look the same by simply matching the color. I'd say you were spot on with your craftsmanship and choice of color, but you overlooked the importance of finding the correct species of wood.

I watched your video to save me from reading the manual. The print is too small. Good video, thanks. What does the orbital mode do?

I built my own a few years back but I never knew how efficient it actually was. Something just doesn’t feel right about the shape of the inlet (where the dust enters the cyclone. I feel like there ought to be guiding walls that help channel it towards the outer wall (as opposed to slipping downward right away), especially for lighter material. The whole point of the cyclone is that fine dust too quickly clogs our filter, and so we want to mitigate that. I’ve never had thicker dust or wood chips clog my filter. I want a cyclone solution that really really does well with fine dust. Maybe there needs to be a secondary cyclone?

That dewalt planer you have has a built in impeller and works quite impressively on its own. Once I turned the planer on and it inflated the bag of my big Jet vac. I met the designer of that blower good job Diego! Plan on using pvc in my new shed workshop.

I’m wanting to put a 1 1/4”groove into my 7”x3”x 9’ fence post and run my fence horizontally. How would I accomplish the groove without a router table? I have a router, but no bits yet. Any information/suggestions would be appreciated.

Awesome video for us newbs. Thank you for posting/

Where did you get your parts?
