Your Dewalt drill attachment is called a "right angle drill attachment". And I know exactly what you’re talking about.

By far, my #1 Workshop Hero for this year is the Microjig Matchfit Clamps - and it is not even a close contest. I made a plywood grid top for my existing workbench and used the grid with the clamps for every project this year: 2 exotic wood cutting boards, dice tower, small chest of drawers, and a case for a Stanley #45 (still don't know how to use it correctly, but I sure had fun designing and building the case!).

Hi Jim. Funny you mention these. I have decided that long term I am going to go with a track saw rather than a table saw. I have been watching people with MFT s and they seem to user these dovetail type of clamps. they look really versatile. Also I have no idea how to use my Stanley 45. Snap lol

@McMonkeyful

Жыл бұрын

The matchfit system works far better for me than the MFT system. My budget version used Bessey clamps & a dovetail router bit to cut the groves. At some point I'm going to replace my workbench top with this system & ditch the T-Tracks & dog holes, both of which are decent but less versatile. I'd think twice about replacing the table saw with a track saw. I watched a lot of Peter Millatd's videos & got all excited about track saw+MFT but I found setting up cuts cumbersome & it sees less use than the tablesaw. Still a great tool for long cuts or certain jobs the table saw can't do but not the game changer I anticipated. Of course, everyone's workflow is different but not all good ideas on KZread work out quite how you may expect. Just something to think about :)

Great content. I experienced similar frustration with the Kreg universal clamps. I have learned a good hack (by accident) on how to keep them from being fiddley. Put the top pad on the piece you’re trying to clamp, and don’t touch the bottom jaw on anything on the way to closure. I use them frequently now, and was about to toss them in the bin, until I realized it was operator error. Nice job.

Thank you. And thank you for the compliment. Much appreciated.

i started woodworking before diamond sharpening stones were a common thing, then I didn't want to spend that much so I have been through grinding wheels, Arkansas stones, ceramic stones, finally glass/sandpaper which I liked the best. only after I retired and had most of the hand tools I wanted did I finally get a good set of diamond stones. I would tell any new woodworker to just bite the bullet right off and get and start with diamond stones and then you are set for life, you never have to learn those other methods and I probably spent more than the cost of diamond stones on all of those other methods.

@startmaking1

Жыл бұрын

Hi Ugaladh, Thank you for your comments. I was offered the glass and sandpaper to test and in all honesty it looks a good system. A bit more of a faff but effective. I stumbled upon the diamond stones that I recommend and as one of my subscribers researched and informed me I can now pass the info on. Apparently there are diamond stones and there are diamond stones. These ones are Electroplated mono-crystalline diamond metal stones, which is the best way apparently. And they are the cheapest of that style. I do agree that biting the bullet is definitely the way forward for a lot of people and funnily enough I have a video coming out where I say that about a decent honing guide, but so far these have served me brilliantly and after at least a year of heavy use, lots of refurbed blades, they are still brilliant. Though I can say they beat the sandpaper method as I am yet to try. I will, however, in the future be getting a forever set of diamond stones, but everything in good time. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and opinion, very much appreciated.

Paul Sellers is all about the Stanley #4. I built his workbench entirely by hand and used the #4 smoothing plane to do it. It is the best all-around plane, but it isn't the best for building a dimensional lumber workbench. The #5 is much better at jointing because of it's longer body, which is what you are primarily doing in his project. I recommend a #5 for any big project involving laminating.

@startmaking1

Hi Tom. Paul Sellers is the godfather of woodworking in the UK. He has forgotten more about it than I will ever know. I love his plane videos. You are spot on with what you say. I originally thought that the no4 was the best allrounder, then I got a no5. I love it. The only flaw on mine is that the sides are not 90 degrees to the base so on a shooting board it is not great. But for all else it is amazing. Thank you for watching and especially for commenting.

Hi Mark. I agree with (almost) everything you say in this video. I freely admit to being an avid tool collector. I can't resist buying a new/old tool if I see it and want to add it to my collection. That also applies to the other stuff we buy to accompany our projects. My principle is that I'd rather have something and not need it than need something and not have it. My number one workshop hero is a DeWalt impact drive. I can't begin to tell you how much work this faithful tool has done over the past 7 years or so. If I were to sell off everything, that is the one tool I would keep. BTW my daughter thinks my DeWalt cordless grass trimmer if the best thing, ever, followed by one of my reciprocating saws.

My pocket hole system has been boxed up for years now and stored in the basement because I never like the results and my personal opinion is that it is a lazy man's tool. Though, having said that, I will agree that it is pretty good for making face frames for cabinets. The French cleat dilemma, well if you're like me, the differences in thickness came from frugality. Simply, you made them from different scraps that you had at the time. Been there.

You are right about the French cleat, I was using just what I had to hand. As and when I build a workshop I will actually plan it a lot better.

Whoa, the image quality on this video is a step up from before. And a HUGE improvement from the first 20 video in this channel. Is it a new camera ? Or a new camera setting ? Or is it just the weather ? To be honest, most of your video have a somewhat.... annoying brightness, sometimes it's hard to see the wood pieces in your hand because it's too bright. Sometimes the color is rather undersaturated (probably because of the brightness issue). If this is a new camera, or a new setting on the camera, excellent then :) If it's just the weather... please consider improving the image quality...

Hi Nino Thank you for your comment. In truth you are the first to notice . It is embarrassing but the image quality is drastically improved because I learnt to use my camera. In the first place I was focusing very wide and so when I zoomed in during editing the quality was lost. I have tightened the focus. The light and hence the brightness is improved a little as I am using the solar lights more. The issue though is their battery life is only about 2 hours. Before I was faking the brightness using the camera ie overexposing and on pine and other wood the details was utterly lost. I am considering a portable power bank to run better lighting but that is seriously pricey. Thank you so much for your feedback and lovely comment.
