Great Idea, easily Implemented .. and to think I have a new MBP that could use a stand! :) , then I could have two larger monitors on my desk!

After realizing it's been almost 30 months since you released a video, I've decided to go through your back catalog. I hope nothing bad happened that has kept you away. Hoping it's because so many wonderful things have been happening that you don't have time to film projects.

watch out Mathias you now have real competition!

Great idea. I almost purchased that same laptop stand for my MacBook. I also have an iMac and I was wanting to design a shelf holder that connects to the back of the computer. I think from the same site you showed for the laptop stand. :-) Great vid! Thanks

Welcome

Nice video! One thing I'm not sure to understand though is your use of the metal set-up block... why do you first put the stop block 2 inches from the blade and then use the set-up block again to position the wood to be cut? Why not directly put the stop block at one inch + the thickness of the blade?

@toolify

8 жыл бұрын

+N4w4k - It's to give the wood space to move if there's any internal tension that's released while making the cut. Such could pinch the blade, or result in kickback. While unlikely with plywood, it's a good habit to have. For the same reason, you shouldn't clamp a board on both sides of a blade at the same time.

Very nice and useful little project. I like the idea of the easier/quicker project videos release in between more complex ones. Happy 2016 and good work on your future projects! About the computer heating: Are you sure it is safe to run it closed? I thought that the heat runs off from the back edge of the macbook pro, in the screen hinge section. Also, I already got 2 "whiter" dots on my retina screen of burned pixels and after searching a bit I realized it happens when you close the macbook when it is hot. Not sure if it is true or not but now i always set it to Pause a few minutes before closing the lid to allow it to cool a bit.

+Get Hands Dirty - Thanks Cris! Based on what I've read it's safe to operate the macbook in clamshell mode. Funny you mention the bright pixels because I've had that in the past, but assumed it must have been because something physically hit the screen. I'll have to keep an eye on it for more. Side note, when I did get the bright pixel, Apple replaced my display under warranty, no questions asked - you may want to look into that for your machine.

@GetHandsDirty

I tried that a few months ago when I noticed the bright pixels but my computer lost its physical warranty long before when it hit the floor with only two months after purchase and since the top right corner got shattered in the black border of the glass, apple refused to correct the bright points problem because the warrantly was broken with that tiny top corner issue. whatever... thank you for the advice anyway :)

Amazing job as usual. I was wondering if you would be interested in helping me creat a tapering Jig. Not just any usual tapering jog for a table saw, but one you can clamp down onto your table and use with your circular saw and or track saw. I need to make tapered legs, but dont have a table saw, and I figured now would be the perfect opertunity to come up with some sort of jig like that. It would be awesome if we could make this as a colab video. If your interested, feel free to message me. Thanks!-Justin Levine

+Fauzan Armia - Shouldn't increase the heat, but might not see as much improvement either. The MacBooks tend to get warm on the bottom side, and in my experience exposing that surface to air (as opposed to a lap, or desk) helps keep it cooler. Does the underside of your laptop get warm?
