      Quick question on the construction adhesive. Is there a way to thin it? I heard Xylene does it. I also heard the type used for concrete doesn't expand as much. You're the expert on this stuff.

    • @JohnHeisz
      @JohnHeisz  Před 3 lety

      PL doesn't have a strong solvent odour, so I don't expect xylene would do the trick. I've never had a reason to thin it, so I couldn't say. Maybe liquid poly glue would work.

      Amazing project!! , i purchased your Precision Router Lift plans, but where i live is hard to find good quality plywood. Can i make the lift with MDF or a similar material? Or should i use shop grade ply? Thank you

      @@daveturnbull7221 I would say 1M is actually quite a lot, considering how this content is kinda niche (a lot of wood tool making) and the uploads aren't so frequent. While I love this content, I can understand why it's not more broadly popular

    Very nice John. So nice to see "shop stuff" built with such attention to detail and esthetics . You were right when you said that if you are going to build it you might as well make it look good. I think that our hobby would attract more people if our shops reflected both esthetic and practical efforts.

  • @bedongskifrombedongdesign1062

    Now that’s what I call a toolbox!!! My shop (garage)is so cold right now even construction adhesive would be a problem, and I use the space for food in winter so I don’t want to heat it. Minus 30 Celsius this week outside, so my shop temperature dropped to 2 degrees, usually stays around 10 Celsius. Great project again John !!!

    John, this video popped up in my suggested videos, and I watched it (again). A couple days later, You Tube asked me what I thought of it. I gave it 5 Stars, and selected Enjoyable, Life-Changing, Inspiring, Informative, Useful, Calming, Heartwarming, and Other under the "Tell Us More" section.
    Not all of that is true, but some of us are pulling for you ;)

    John, this is one of my favourite things you have made. Your design for the drawer slides is great, and I think adds a ton to the overall asthetic. Kinda like how a dovetail is functional, but looks really cool as well.

    It reminds me of the Craftsman tool box I have. I've always thought it would be nice to have one for the woodshop and here it is. I love it and can't wait to make my own along with a bottom cabinet to match for all my wood working tools. It will be much more enjoyable then just buying another box store toolbox. I think I will combine this with the larger tool chest you made and create my own large toolbox. Very nice work and very inspirational. Thank you sir for all the time you put in to your projects and videos so that we lesser mortals can aspire to your level of craftmanship.

    It makes sense building it from wood with the prices of the toolboxes in the store. The wood looks better and functions better than those cheap metal ones. The tablesaw looks to be functioning well. The shop full of functional tools, drawers and cabinets looks incredible. Must be a pleasure working there knowing you made it all yourself. Great stuff
