    @victorstalick3719 Před 3 lety

    Years ago, I made my workbench from sheets of plywood topped with masonite and surrounded by maple. Instead of the dog holes as John did, I drilled stepped 1" dowel holes. I then used stepped 1" dowels to fill the holes. Dogs which need a flat edge I just created some dowels with cuts to produce flat edges. With this method, I was also able to put dog holes in the center of the bench.

    I made that mistake a week ago. Had a drawer side made up of several boards that had been sized and milled to spec and glued up together with biscuit joints. A lot of work. When I cut the tails one on side I was distracted or whatever. Only after sawing the vertical slots of the tails on the opposite did I realize I had done it a$$ backwards. Snapped the drawer side in two and tossed it in the garbage. ARRGEE!

      I switched over to building bigger projects and they take time to do. And experience has shown me that most viewers want a complete video and not a series. That equals low view numbers and that hurts the performance of the channel.
      So it's not me moving away from CZcams, it's the lack of engagement from the viewers (subscribers in particular) that's pushing me this way.
      Believe me, I'm not making a fortune by doing this. I could go back to cranking out filler content and start cooking in ads for Audible and Harry's razors and the like and make a TON more. This is about building something of value that some people still want.

      I wasn't implying criticism, I was just wondering..many of the other creators I follow (covering a very wide variety of topics!) are commenting on their channels that youtube is becoming more and more draconian, demonitzing or striking down videos, supposedly hiding notifications or comments, even unsubscribing people without their knowledge...I was curious to see if you felt targeted too.

    • @JohnHeisz
      @JohnHeisz  Před 3 lety +5

      Well, that's happening in the rest of the world and more and more each day, so CZcams is just keeping pace. I don't say anything "controversial" on this channel, so it's relatively safe. But there might come a day where using a table saw the way I (and millions of other highly qualified people) use it will be considered "dangerous" content. So hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

      A bank of batteries would be very expensive. I've never bought a bank before but I've seen the price of them lots of times at my work and they are not cheap.
