I have a habit of building, fixing, and experimenting, so I decided I’d make a channel to document some of the things I do. Perhaps it will help someone by showing them a new technique or sparking an idea.

Post Cap Jig
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 3 lety
This is a somewhat simple jig I made to cut smaller blanks of wood into pyramidal shapes for things like post caps on a table saw. It could also be used to just make bevels cuts. This could all be done just by hand on the table saw or with a power miter saw, but my intent was to keep my hands as far away from the spinning blade as I could while still getting fast, accurate, and consistent results.
Making Maple Cutting Boards
zhlédnutí 490Před 3 lety
Making two long grain, laminated maple cutting boards. The material is decent quality maple 1x that I sort into heartwood and sapwood pieces, if possible, so they can be alternated to make a patterned effect in the final product. This is my standard pattern for this type of cutting board, and I always put the hole in the board. Some people like it, others don't. I like it because you can carry ...
Homemade wooden Workshop air cleaner

I made a workshop air cleaner for dust and fine particles from woodworking, etc. It's all made from scraps and hardware that has been salvaged from old stuff. The motor is a shaded pole type from our previous microwave.
Wooden Clock for Kids
zhlédnutí 950Před 4 lety
I made this clock for the many kids in our family. It's to teach telling time and to demonstrate a little about how mechanical things work. It's almost entirely made from scrap and free (to me) materials. Enjoy.
Building a rolling thickness planer stand
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 5 lety
I made a rolling stand with a drawer for my thickness planer. It's made entirely from scrap wood and discarded hardware. I suppose the glue and brad nails weren't free... You got me there. I don't have a great narrating voice, so I'm giving it a break this time. I made the design in CAD using sketchup. It's very sturdy, relatively easy to build, and offers some useful storage underneath. The he...
Ridgid Table Saw Blade Alignment (R4512)
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 5 lety
My new Ridgid hybrid table saw had its blade, motor, and arbor assembly misaligned with the miter slots and fence. Here's a video about how to correct that problem. It's relatively easy, and if you have a dial indicator, you can achieve a very precise alignment.
Dowel Center Drilling Jig
zhlédnutí 55KPřed 5 lety
Here's a relatively easy to make jig to find the center of a dowel and to use a small drill press to drill directly into the center, on axis. There are a number of ways to do this, but it was quick and reliable for me.

Workbench Drawer Organizer
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 6 lety
I adapted another Matthias Wandel design, his yogurt cup organizer, to work with the drawers in my rolling workbench/miter saw stand that I built. It's made from 1/4" thick scrap underlayment plywood, Activia yogurt cups, glue, and some pin nails. It fits nicely in the drawers and is great for organizing small hardware and the like. Thanks for watching.
Miter Saw Station/Tool Chest
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 6 lety
This is a miter saw stand that has 10 drawers. I was tired of using the saw on the floor, and I could always use more storage, plus I had a glut of scrap plywood that was taking up room so I figured why not build something that would make using the miter saw a lot more convenient. I did this in small chunks over several months, but didn't spend much time on it in total. I also wanted to spend a...

Nice easy to follow video WITHOUT MUSIC.thank you
Minor suggestion: Route a small dado located where the blade hits the vertical base. I will copy this for myself. BRAVO!
Very well done. This old dog just learned a new trick. Thank you for sharing.🙂🙂
not a dead center jig!
Great video, thanks for sharing
If you want to draw a straight line down a Dow rod ,just set it in the miter slot
great work. simple idea.
Cool project, way to b creative n build instead of buy
I found the best technique for preventing this was to not allow a toddler to run around unsupervised. Crazy huh?
Thanks for you advice. It’s to prevent them from pulling the chair over and damaging something, like the wall or their teeth without having to keep them out of the dining room. They are supervised.
Unless there are special circumstances let the toddler learn physics while under a watchful eye.
Thanks. They are always under a watchful eye, and I encourage them to make mistakes to learn about the world, but not with heavy things that can knock their teeth out or cause them to fall downstairs, pull heavy furniture over on themselves, etc.
Wait the toddler sits at the dining room table?
On a high chair, not shown. This is mainly to prevent them from pulling the chair over and damaging things nearby, like their teeth or the wall.
Mind as well wrap them up in bubble wrap lol Jk Jk just for the humor lol this is a pretty cool feature
Really? Just bubble wrap your kid and put them in a room with no sharp corners. A little over the top here.
Thanks for your thoughtful advice.
If they don't get hurt they dont learn. Put it on after they pull the chair down on themselves.
That’s how we got to this point
I would definitely try to pull the chair out and move the entire table
Smart
Can we talk about the drawing in the upper right in the beginning? I dig it, some old school early tech design vibe, reminds me of Demo Design from back in the day.
Mine quit, but batteries good.
That cut thru the table saw scares me to death! Maybe just a bit thicker wood, say about 1/4 inch?
Thanks for putting this video together. Mine is off by about 1/8 inch. I wish Rigid did more to help people know how to do all of these things when they get their table saws and are setting them up. I agree with the other comments. This was very concise. I see too many people take an 8 minute video and cram it into 22
Very nice design. Avoids a lot of complications.
Thank you for the video. It helped. My rigid table saw blade was off by 0.030” front to back.
Nice. Simple but effective. Something I can actually make.
I especially like the idea of using the drill press table as a flat referencing surface.
Hello; what model of Champ do you have?
It’s a 46’ 7AC with a C85-12F (85hp)
Nice job !
Muchas gracias campeón
Good video, but 2:25 seconds of wasted time.
That’s brilliant just what I needed thanks for sharing.
Excellent video. Safe and consistent methods. Four stars. Thanks for sharing your technique.
Nice clean work and well done video, looking forward to your next woodworking videos. Thanks.
Spreading glue with a finger would get you banned from wood shop in the Good Old Days. On CZcams it only gets you a thumbs-downie
I will be making one of those. I would add a couple of features. The first would be to make a recess on the top of the fixture to the right or left depending on your dominate had to automatically align the square to the pencil line. The other would be to drill a small hole through the back of the fixture so it would center a pilot hole for if a cross hole was needed. I saw in one of the comments that someone needed to do that. Great idea.
At air seems like a whole lotta work and cost when ye kin jest buy a new drill nowadays fer around $20-30. Yeeee-HAH!
EXCELLENT DIY Video. Thanks for a clear video and detailed explanation.
I am now the recipient of one of these beautiful boards. They are even more beautiful in person. Thank you for all your efforts
Great idea, thanks for sharing!
You have solved my dowel drilling problems!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
I think I might be able to use a little of this idea. It's just not complete. I need to drill a hole in the end of 4, 1-5/16 dowel pieces that are 60" long. I need a way to use my drill press to create a clamp/drilling guide for a hand held drill. Thx
After looking at several videos this morning, I like your plan
Thanks for this. Simple and concise enough to convince me to finally do it. It’s a lot easier than a jointer, but somehow I was expecting something more complicated. Glad to have this skill under my belt, now.
What if all I have is a handheld drill?
Interesting... let me think about that one
This is my dilemma haha
Like 👍👍
Geometry suggests me you can get a few more cups squeezed in if you order them staggered like beehive cells! Whether worth it may depend on your drawer and wood proportions. It may be worth it just to be less bored of drilling holes on straight rows and columns... The math isn't hard, you just need the square root or 3 (=1.732): If you now have the centres of two pots say 70mm apart, now your next row will start 1.732 x 35mm = 60.62mm lower (and 35mm rightward). The way to find it is to put the centres of the pots at corners of equilateral triangles --- they have 60degree angles --- where two corners are your first row's first two pot-centres; new row's first centre is at that third corner. Simplest to see is using Pythagoras [AxA + BxB = CxC if A and B meet at right angles. Here A= halfway from first to second centre, and C=A+A because we wanted equilateral triangle; so our equation is AxA + BxB = 4 AxA, so BxB = 3 AxA, or B = (root of 3) times A].
Nice and easy, thanks. Just a comment on the video itself, the volume is really really low, hard to hear. Not sure what mics and how you have them set up but it comes out really soft. Hopefully constructive criticism!

@@presentdayjeff5790 thanks very much for the reply
Hi, I have a craftsman 3/8" 6.0 v cordless drill/ driver. I've had it since brand new but it's BARELY been used. Being a female, I honestly didn't/ don't know much about using power tools. I have the charger, and it also has a separate plug to plug it in manually i guess. My problem is that I don't know how to hook up the battery to the charger. It has a battery like the one you're showing in this video but the charger has 8 wide pins that are lined up on it. It looks like the ones for newer drills but it's definitely for this drill. I probably have the owners manual somewhere if I looked around my house. I've tried to find out how to charge it from the internet and CZcams and your video is the closest thing I could come to possibly getting an answer even though my drill is 6v not 12. At the moment, I just plugged it in with the straight power cord and the light is red, I'm going to see if it will work after being plugged in for a good while. It would be nice to get it running, I don't know if I really need it because I have a Porter Cable 20v one and I barely use but I have recently started doing some craft projects and I thought maybe the craftsman would be a good beginner drill to prepare me for the Porter Cable. If you could please show me how to charge this thing, if it's still chargeable that is. I can send pictures if needed. This drill is in pristine condition, I couldn't find the chuck key but I'm sure I have it, I haven't looked very hard. Lol. Please contact me if you ever get this message farmgirl389@yahoo.com. thanks alot!
Jeffrey the friendly bloke down the street with a spot on video. Straight and to the point!
You must've grabbed that 3/4" ply from my hometown Lowe's. I had to stop going because they don't have a single straight piece of plywood there!
Brilliant!
