Thank you, Bryan. We will evaluate and optimize the router issues described in the video. Hope all is well with you.👍
I appreciate it. I've been very pleased with all the tools. I would recommend including a small wrench to tighten the latch.
Great video Bryan as always love the humor that you have in your videos always love watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much Jim! I appreciate that. I'm having fun with the humor as well, but I know it's distracting for a lot of people!
Love the AG Duo opening.
Haha! I know right? I had completely forgot about that old SNL skit! :)
Ok. Now my Saturday officially begins!
Haha! You are too kind Sean! Have a great Saturday!
Cheers, Bryan. Always informative and entertaining. The problem with most woodworking videos is not enough Ace & Gary.
Haha! I 100% agree! Thanks so much for watching Mark!
I enjoy your videos. They're funny and brutally honest.
You are too kind obiwunconaoly! Love your usename! and thanks for watching!
Dude, you make those gloves look good. And, I'm glad the $30 sander mates up with your $600 Festool extractor. Haha. Thanks for the video.
I know right! Sometimes I do have multple sanders hooked up with different grits, but you're totally right! I'm spoiled when it comes to my dust collector! :) Thanks for making me laugh today!
Interesting on the palm router. I recently purchased one from Harbor Freight, on sale for around $80, was thinking I should have waited to get the Alloyman until I completed watching your review. So far I'm happy with the Harbor Freight, only 1//4 inch though. I gave an old Craftsman router to the Habitat for Humanity store here in town so I could justify buying the new palm router. Have a large Porter-Cable that is both 1/2 and 1/4, but a pain to unpack for a few minutes of edging over. Like your reviews, keep up the good work, although you are costing me money since I'm buying tools I'm not sure I really need, but like your review and enthusiasm for the tool.
Oh, interesting to hear about the HF router. I want to do a review on some of those tools in the near future for sure. Another router that I love that I have in my router table is the bosch router. That is my main go to router other than my dewalt but both do an excellent job. Just depends on whether or not I want to take my workpeice to the router or my router to my workpeice. Thanks so much for watching and commenting Pat!
On your recommendation I bought the polisher/sander. I’m building up my shop piece by piece, I was a carpenter many yrs. ago. But I took a a different path and now trying to go back to my roots of woodworking. I have a question for you. I have researched it but all I find is very vague on this matter. I know the sanding part of it start with something like 180 or 220 depending on the project and that can pass 1800 wet sanding. But what I want to know is what brand of compound and and at what stages do I use them at ? If you could reply whit an answer that would be great thank you in advance for cooperation.
These are great questions and I wish I had a great answer for you. I have done a couple of tables and many cutting boards using epoxy resin, however, I have never gone for that really high gloss on any of them. I did do one table that has high gloss and it is sitting in my kitchen right now. I went the easy rout and chose to go with a table top epoxy which looks like glass once it cures. I'm hoping some other viewers might see this comment and spread some knowledge for us. I would like some input as well! Thanks for the question!
There are so many similar tools out there, you’ll have plenty to do comparing them. It would be interesting to know how some of the really good first impression tools hold up and compare to their more expensive counterparts.
Curious if the buy once cry once is applicable. For example- are the (what the) F(festool) tools which are so much more expensive, compared to the higher grade (brushless motors, higher amp - if corded, tools. Are the WTF tools that much better, that much more accurate, that much longer lasting?
Same thing with the WTF red tools that cost 2x most of their competitors?
Good job with the subject, again. Thanks.
I totally agree. I would tend to think that the buy once cry once theory is a good one. Sometimes when you buy the cheaper models, you realize it doesn't have all the accuracy you thought you needed, and then you end up buying a nicer tool anway, so sometimes i gues you could spend even more than if you would have just bought the more expensive one in the first place. For me, I went ryobi crazy when I first started out and then began upgrading about 3 years later. I think that was a good decision for me because I made sure I liked woodworking before spending too much money. Bonus - I still use my ryobi tools for many applications so it is a win win!
I'll admit, I chuckled at the glove bit.
Haha! I appreciate it! Thanks for watching Wes!
Not only are gloves not necessary but are often dangerous. They can get caught in sharp spinny things and grab onto the hand, perhaps drawing the hand into the blade, or not allowing it the hand to be pulled back. Kevlar gloves are great for carvers but gloves are a no-no in a shop.
I 100% agree with you kwilliams. Just think if one of the fibers got caught on the blade of a table saw, miter saw, or the bit on the router. You would end up with chopped liver for fingers.
I worked ship yard as a machinist. A coworker didn’t like the hot chips hitting his hands so he put on some simple cotton gloves. They were loose fitting. I told him that’s dangerous. Not 2 min after his hand was pulled in backward. He broke a few bones not to mention a few stitches.
@@timrodgers8551 Yep! Really crazy they include those gloves with these tools, especially anthing with teeth or anything that they could get caught on. Thanks for watching Tim!
I hope he realized how lucky he was.
I am interested in that Orbital Sander, my biggest concern with less expensive brands is how long will they last. Sure they may start out strong, but will they last? I call this the Harbor Freight formula, how long will the product last, vs how many times will I need it, then figure in cost. Anyway thanks for another fun Saturday morning coffee video.
Another thought that came to me after I posted, are there upgrade collets that will fit that router? Might be able to upgrade the collet and still save $$$.
That's a great question Pat, I will need to check that when I get back from vacation. I'm out of the country until next week. And I totally agree with you on the cost vs. the need. I always call these one time tools. I buy then because i need a specific project done and then if I can get a second or third use out of them its all gravy! I will say that the alloyman tools feel about the same quality as ryobi so I suspect hey will last a while. Kind of like the bauer at Harbor freight.
@@FlynndoggWoodwork have a great vacation, and safe travels.
I quite like the inclusion of safety glasses. Regular DIYers, workshop enthusiasts, and pros will have PPE already, but cheaper tools or sets with accessories attract more occasional home users. For the minimal cost to the supplier it's nice to see eye protection provided, making it much more likely to be used.
Oh I agree with you getting the safety goggles 100%. That is a nice add on. The gloves are what i don’t understand. They are actually dangerous to wear with many of these tools. Especially the Router. Thank you so much for sharing and watching worstuserever!
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Absolutely, throwing in gloves sends the wrong message to novices.
Are you looking to become more like Michael. 😅 I am growing to like your deep dives into tools more and more.
Thanks so much Jerry! I appreciate it and thanks for watching!
Sorry I forgot, it’s to polish the epoxy resin to a high mirror like finish.
Gotcha I'm not sure your specific design but I know table top epoxy will do it
Dogg, man, you're killing us!! More moolah spent on little stuff, that you already have? So we know you have ordered the lathe for that sweet shop. But those gloves, on you, look good. Another good one, Dogg. But come on Dogg man, let's get a Powermatic sponsorship and then that sweet lathe (or Rikon, Jet, Grizzly) someone. I mean if the dumb Wood Whisperer has one and April Wilkerson....then why not you?
I keep asking myself the same question! I would have killed to have the sponsoships the wood whisperer had. I think he lost his titebond and powermatic sponsorship. Hell I'd even take a HF sponsorship if it would let me get that sweek rikon or powermatic lathe! :)
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Well, we don't know how sponsorships are done; but, Dogg, man, we hope you can snag one in the new year. It would be well deserved. Interesting that WW lost sponsorships. We don't watch him anymore because he became a know-it-all and annoying.
@@themeat5053 Yeah, I used to watch WW more often, but have been kind of disappointed in his videos the last couple of years. I'm not sure I know how sponsorships work either. I know a lot of companies send me free tools but no money.... Most of the tools are junk and don't make it in any videos... but occasionally I find a good one.
@@FlynndoggWoodwork Here's hoping Woodpecker picks you up. Maybe just have them look at your order history and see that you own all of their stuff already.
@@themeat5053 Not a bad idea! :) I don't think they care enough about a small channel like mine!
C'av the gloves you don't want? I use gloves for everything. Everything!
That's great dar4431! I'm glad you use yours I guess not everyone finds them a waste! :) Thanks so much for watching!
Dog I thought I was subscribed, I am:now lol! Timothy
Haha! You’re the best Tim thanks so much!
The router is a makita knock off, except for the Ccollett
I would agree with you! Thanks for watching!
These guys are out to lunch on the price of the router here on the Amazon site. It’s more expensive than the Dewalt. Waste of money. They even charge for shipping.
Thanks for watching footlingjohnson. I agree if they are charging more than or even same as dewalt. When I looked at them they were about 1/3 of the price, like 49 dollars or something.
The colour of the gloves looks like crappy snow camo, so they're intended for invading places like the Siberian Plains and Steppes
Haha! Maybe that is what they are left over from! :) Thanks for making me laugh today anthony!
