Woodwork Journey
United Kingdom
Registrace 6. 10. 2021
Just a UK woodworker learning as I go, and understanding the benefits of woodworking for mental and physical health.
As someone dealing with chronic Fibromyalgia and Ankylosing Spondylitis, woodwork is far more to me than just making a chopping board, and I hope to share my enthusiasm, projects, and benefits of working with your hands when I can.
I also want to normalise that we don't all have to know everything!

Affordable Accurate Mitre Gauge?
Affordable Mitre Gauges that are accurate are pretty challenging to find. This one from Vevor surprised me. It's not perfect, and I'm a little confused about a couple of choices, but you can't complain about its accuracy!

Vevor did send me this free for the purposes of review, however, no money has changed hands, they did not get to see this video before it went live, and they've had no input or influence.

Workshop Drawers, My Take, including jigs, cockups, and more!

I need to organise my small workshop, so drawers are the answer. I love the Hooked on Wood and Wittworks drawers (linked below) but as I explain I'm too dumb for the plans, so I decided to make my own. This video shows how I messed up, fixed stuff, made jigs, and created a drawer unit for £40 of MDF and scrap. Hooked on Wood drawers with bench - czcams.com/video/cWMof36OcYA/video.htmlsi=FEMGrCh...

My small garage to small workshop transformation takes a huge leap forward with this one. Battening, insulating, and boarding up the walls to provide some sound and temperature insulation. I know there are a million things I could have done differently, but time and budget were hugely restrictive factors, so I did the best I can do. Time will tell if it works out!

Tablesaw to Tracksaw, the MFT build - harder than you think!
This is perfect, just what i need in my shop. I have similar sized space and similar vacuum and cyclone. I think I'm going to mount my vacuum remote to a wrist strap, sick of putting it down and forgetting where i left it!
Anyone know if this will fit (or can be made to fit) a DeWalt 7485 with its bizarre mitre slot?
@ianwatkins3002 if you have the tabs in the slots just cut them off
Spot on ! Great video thank you !
Great review, I bought mine having enjoyed it. Did you have any difficulty obtaining a right angle between the blade and fence assembly? With the screws loosened on both sides I can only achieve 89.9 using a digital level box? I wondered if loosening the 4 bolts that secure the motor and blade assembly to the base would give me more movement?
Forty-five quid looks very reasonable. Often these third party ali mitre guages are north of a hundred.
👍👊
The measure tape direction depends on if you use the miter slot to the left or right of the blade. Realistically there is no way that it will be accurate to the bade without cutting it off at the zero mark :)
I was gifted the same mitre guage ages ago & it's brilliant as is the one from Banggood
Finish the project, then sell it!
Dean, you're all over it this week, eh? Brilliant!
Great review! I looked at the extensible miter gauge and I was impressed too! Great features for the price. For the ruler, on their extensible version, it actually start from the other way. So exactly what you want. I shared a trick on how you can offset the fence and the blade and use the ruler. Kinda help on not hitting the fence although I still prefer relative dimensioning than using the ruler.
Hi Dean, hope your well, a handy mitre gauge for the table saw, I see what you mean, having the measurements from the wrong side. looks good for the price, hope its useful for you. As always a great video, catch you soon take care
Looks good might give it a try
Just followed the link, out of stock! You are one powerful influencer!!😂
I'd love one, got to make sure it will fit my Titan table saw though, thanks for the video Dean, it was very helpful.
I was sold when you mentioned arthritic fingers
Cheers, Dean. This is a blast from the past. Glad I found it. Good stuff.👍
I won't be rushing to get one but, good to know about in case I need it in future. Cheers
Thanks!
Thank YOU very much!!
Maybe it's just me, but I'd be put off by the looks... it looks like a child's toy 😄😄. But I do get why it would come in handy, ran into the issues you talk about several times in the past. If only they'd make one a bit more "manly" 😆
I guess as they’re cheap you could always throw away the mouse bit and attach the blade with it’s fixing to a lump of walnut or maple or something
Always good to keep your fingers behind the sharp bits 😉
Where would the fun be then?
@@WoodworkJourney Hahaha! If it wasn’t so costly to go get sewed back together and then have to deal with pain of the injury, I guess it wouldn’t be so bad!! 😉
Great tips, I'm in the middle of building my garden room/workshop and planning. This is really helpful, loved the pressure release valve on the dust collector.
Nice share. This was one of my early builds. I fashioned mine on a computer mouse. Very handy. Love them.
Nice 👍
👍👊
Love it. Think it would come in very handy.
It has definitely been one of those things that I’ve really appreciated having around now and then
Why don’t you just use the Parf system to drill the holes? Yes it costs 200€ but you buy it once. The time you sat making this that is totally not accurate for your cuts costs you way much more money. Or then just get a company to make it with CNC. So many comanies’offer’these services .with all respect this is really a waste of your time.
Because we don’t all have £200 to drop on something that’s potentially single use. Doing it myself worked out just fine
A handy little tool but b&q and Ebay uk are advertising it for £14.99
I did not know that.
Looks good and it's another tool to collect and sharpen. I see Veritas does one without the mouse theme for only twice as much.
I haven’t really owned any Veritas tools so have no idea if they’re worth the money. I imagine it’s hard to justify the price when it’s rarely used though
Hi Dean, just a suggestion if you only go over to the half way mark of the hole, then cut from the opposite direction you will not tear out the large piece of timber that you did in your demonstration
Absolutely, completely agree, I figured it had splintered out anyway and I was just showing the tool though so it was fine for this
Thanks, Dean.👍
You are welcome!
for the chisel you would just flip it round backwards and use the back of the blade
You would indeed, and when I do I gouge out bits of the workpiece 9/10 times
@@WoodworkJourney I used to do the same but then i started to gently tickle it and the results have improved
You could get the Hultafors heavy duty chisels, they are designed to lay dead flat without the handle in the way.
Hi Dean, hope your well, Looks a good little gizzmo, and as you say you don't need it but it's good to have , great review catch you soon, Take care
Cheers Shaun
Genius mate
Cheers!
Looks like it would be good for dowels, getting nice and flat after trimming.
Absolutely 👍

Do you have a link for this unit
Thanks Dean. Do you have any information about how you're connecting the flex hose to the pipe?
I just kinda rammed them together I think
Wow, you’re getting so fancy!!❤
You know it 😂
Best video covering this on CZcams. Cracking job dude.
should have used the track saw to cut the 2 edges of the glove.
Amazing solution to a big problem faced by many. Excellent! In India we say “ what an idea sir jee” ❤
Awesome set up - the quality is immense, might have to knick this one!
