    Very nice work Mike!
    One of the things I like about your videos is how you explain things, whether it's about a tool, a specific piece of hardware, or the decision process you go through. Those are gems that I look for in each video. Also that you link them in your description. Call it lazy, which it is, but that detail makes me go look at those sites when I see something I like and I appreciate your doing it. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

    Best!

    What makes your video so worthwhile is that I always learn something new and gain insights into new tools...a lipping planer!...After a few different guns, a new compressor and lots of practice I am finally comfortable spraying nitrocellulose lacquer..Yes, it's a vertical learning curve. Another variable with spraying is the weather-humidity wreaks havoc when spraying nitro...so much to learn...so much fun! Thanks!!!

    I appreciate the way you use MDF as a material. About 20 years ago I constructed a 16 foot work bench so that I could build a Murphy Rebel aircraft.
    A few people thought it wouldn't stand up. I preferred it over plywood because it was heavy and very flat. My workshop floor was terribly uneven, but a few shims here and there and it was perfectly level. I didn't paint it or coat it in any way to protect it, thinking it would be disassembled when the project was complete. When the main components of the aircraft were done, a friend of mine asked me if he could have half the table. He wanted to build another aircraft and already had an eight foot bench. He wound up building two planes. The half bench I had remaining is still in my shop. It's a little worse for wear today, but if I had properly protected it the way you do, it would be just fine. I've subscribed to your channel and enjoy your little apprentice. My little apprentice is now a father himself and has already built two houses. Cheers to you and your family.

    • @MikeFarrington
      @MikeFarrington  Před 5 lety

    Love your work! A tip that my father-in-law gave me might be useful. In lieu of your very nice & expensive clamp collection to space the surface & laminate material, he kept a section of PVC pipe with aluminum shade blind slats. He'd apply the glue, let it tack up, then lay the slats on top. Next went the laminate, likewise with tacked glue, then he'd pull slats out & roll the material together with a J-roller. Would help keep your shiny clamps from occasionally getting laminate cement boogers all over them.

    • @MikeFarrington
      @MikeFarrington  Před 5 lety +1

      Thank you, great tip. I normally have a bunch of dowel rods on hand. I had used them for another project recently. The PVC is a really good idea because it will resist the glue pretty good.
