After checking it at 0.25 speed, i am not sure about that. Maybe the sharpness and location of the blade was the culprit? Edit: op was right, and i was wrong.

Definately spining the wrong way, the wood should be spinned into the blade, so either change the rotation on the drill or change the side the blade is mounted on :))

That's the problem with just sending it... sometimes your drill isn't spinning the right way...

"Thank you, I love it!" (trying to figure out what its supposed to be). We all deserve partners like this.

Teacher never let John have a pencil sharper after so many incidents. So he never got the basics. Like you have to rotate the pencil into the blade. But if all else fails shove it in harder and let friction do the work!!! 😂😂😂

I love how the picknick table bench came out completely different than the vid haha did you buy the wrong plans?

Yeah, the one he built was terrible because when you fold the table part down, you have 2 benches that face away from each other. My guess is he bought the plans from the tik tok creator who did not actually make the bench in the video and made some janky plans to scam people out of a few bucks.

if you pause at 14:11 you can see the plan on the clipboard, and it is completely different from the source video.

I actually bought a picnic table like that this summer. It was built by carpentry students at a technical school near me. They build them for practice and then sell them to support the program.

The Woodworking Plan he bought is not the same table as shown in the TikTok video. So he did build it to plan, just not to the Tik Tok vid. The Tik Tok Video table does look more appealing with how it's constructed and tilts.

Why not weld a used throwaway blade to the stem of the clamp and just leave the mounting part clear ?

So I'm a metal worker...always avoided working with wood. Found your channel a week ago because of the pallet videos. Then I was like "if his pallet videos are this good his wood working videos are probably as good or better". Just ordered some wood tools as a result of your channel and I'm excited to dig in. Would love to see some tutorials. Really enjoy your content mate.

Spinning the dowel the WRONG DIRECTION!!!!!!!

I was just about to say this but saw a few others pointed it out, but I'm pretty sure the setup for that dowel cutter was backwards and you basically turned it into a fire started instead.

"Always cut your longest pieces first." Best advice my Father-in-law (b. 1909) ever gave me. He was a cabinet maker and I treasure the times we worked together. He was more a Daddy to me than my Father was (I worked with my Father-in-law for 25 years, but my father, who never threw a ball to me, I lived with as a parasite for 17 years until I went to college . . . if you get that reference).

"How did I mess that measurement up?" John Malecki is my spirit animal....

This series never gets old love it

9:00 min… John burns the dowel round. Instead of reevaluating, he proceeds to get squirrely and brute force it. 😂😂😂. Oh and If anyone was curious he was going the wrong direction with the drill. The wood was just spinning on the bottom of the plane blade. It would have worked fine if he reversed it.

We used to do something like the sazall paint shaker in the metal shop I used to work at. We used a jigsaw and a hose clamp and chucked the whole contraption up into a bench vice. It's not pretty, but it got the job done

Sunday morning coffee with John, my fav part of the weekend…..other than sleeping late but John is cool with it. He’s patient waiting for me to wake then brush my teeth, then pee, then take trash out, then make coffee…..the point is he’s a major part of my Sunday funday. 😅

Dude the dowel, you spun it the wrong way. You didn't have the blade cutting the wood.

Great Video. The spring joint was my favorite. I dig the wristwatch. What brand/name is it?

Can you recreate the videos of a guy running a piece of wood through a small lunch box planer or removing bark with draw knife on a live edge slab? I absolutely love those.

I like the little picnic table/benches. They could do for improv work desks for laptops. It's like little school desks for kids. Lean it against a wall, and you have a tiny desk. Definitely not for larger folks, but the benches are cute. Also, it looks like the dowel spinner was going the wrong way.

I look forward to these & loved the as seen on tv vid too. Fab bloody channel!!

Did I hear some millimeters? Me likey like! Haha

The picnic table opened the wrong direction the benches should have been facing inwards but either way awesome builds!

with the second one i think you didn't use the right direct. spin it the other way around so the wood is cut by the metal plate...

Spray can shaker. Old blade. Drill holes in blade and quick clamp. Bolt old blade to quick clamp. Insert blade into recipe. Shake away. Now if you need it you can unbolt the clamp.

I Love John Malecki Videos 💛💚🖤

I think you are the second best DIY table woodworking channel in the whole planet. I'm subscrbed to both. I wish I could pull that off, respect.

Little while ago I made the recip saw paint shaker and love it……just used it today actually nice video as always.

You're team is the bomb. they get the humor and now they're sending it back to you. I LOVE the interaction. reminds me of my Army days. This type of interaction is good for YOUR soul.

The bbq fire lighter under the gass cap of a car is a brilliant idea if you can't loosen the gas cap off

Your wife was thinking: “wtf IS this?” 😂

Dip your screws in oil before driving them home. They go in smooth, and seal up next to them for rott protection. I use a shot glass and a few screws soaking as i go.

We made the same folding table. We love it and it was a fun day with my son!!!

I came here for the dowel spinning comments.. I wasn’t disappointed 😆🤦🏻‍♂️

Lucky for me I have a lathe lol. I do love the paint can shaker idea. I would use an old blade and drill out that stop at the end. Then use that as my primary rivet hole. Then make a few more goin up the blade. Then a few "safety" zipties just for my own added safety and I think it would work a lot better. Also, I would only use it vertically, pointed down to ease the stress on the blade tang.

I made a version of those benches for our backyard. They are really nice. Mine use hinges and lock together. I just used redwood and teak oil.

Did you consider figuring out a way to mount it to a Lazy Susan? It would be a lot easier to spend.

That frickin spring joint is tha shiz nit ! Awesome! But I think you were running the drill in the wrong direction when you made the dowl .?

You need to spin the dowel into the blade. You essentially installed the blade backwards on the table Saw

The converting table bench is all fine and good until someone's drink becomes their new pair of pants KEKW

I love full steam designs!!!

I have that Makita. On the left at the back of the slide rails, there's a black 1/2" spring loaded pin. Pull it out, twist it 90 degrees and it locks the slide all the way back. There's no way to lock it partially. Does he deliberately mess everything up for eyeballs? "What's great about decimals..." Literally how the metric system was invented hundreds of years ago.

"Costs as much as a beer at the ballpark"?!! I thought you were trying to sell those things

I have to have a rueful chuckle when I see things that I built years ago that are now going viral. When I got my first sliding power mitre box, a guy in the store actually suggested the bowl thing (mid '90s, as I recall) and I tried it and it worked great. Never even thought about it again until now 😂

9:30 i think he was spinning the wood the wrong way xDDD

If you are going to make bowls, use a RAS, and lock, lower, spin the wood, lower again, repeat. You can use a push stick and never get close the blade.

7:10 if you want to put a clamp into a recip saw, use an old blade and two small bolts with lock nuts. If the blade breaks, it is easily replaced

Best part of that bench table combo is if one side gets up the other side wont flip over❤

Love the channel john keep grinding

I'm not a woodworker, but I just want to say I found your channel very entertaining so far. Thank you for all your hard work

I think one of the harder parts of woodworking is the creativity. I think it would be interesting if after you built a social media project you talk about what things you might add or subtract from the project. This would be more of “idea generating” than a critique of the project. 👍

Wish we could post pictures to comments here... I made the miter saw bowl last week out of some pine scraps I had laying around. 1-1/2 wide pieces glued crisscross & stacked a couple layers. It came out pretty cool. Used jigsaw to cut it into rounded shape & beveled the bottom a tad with my router. Have some hardwood scraps glued up & waiting for another day to do that.

The bowl type project went pretty well and yeah it was a bit sketchy with how close the fingers got to the blade. the Bench type project went pretty well might want to put some kind of latch on the under side to help keep it aligned and make it a little more secure in the table configuration.

The chop saw bowl technique is pretty cool. If it doesn't exist already, you should come up with a jig to make a matching outside profile on a table saw or disk sander. Im sure a ton of people would love to be able to make bowls without the investment or learning curve of a lathe.

What is great of decimals is... Metric system!! Has John tried it making a project?? He should, worthy content hehe

Hey John I love your videos keep up the good work

Rob Cosman has a video on making a Dowel jig similar to the fire starter you were making. I think he suggested using exotic woods with high natural oil content like wenge that will self lubricate. He also tapers the in feed side of the jig.

Looks like I barely missed out on KZread fame when I did one of those miter saw cuts 19 years ago (to do a big concave radius on a stool seat, not a bowl) 😂. I was using a table saw - it's 100X faster if you just lift up the blade incrementally and spin the work sideways through the teeth!

My dad made fold up picnic tables for both of my sisters and I as christmas presents a few years ago. He didn't use any plans though and had many hours into it. I could see where the time would plummet though if you built one, set up some jigs and then mass produced.

I made one of the picnic tables. After a couple years it sucks as a table but works great as a bench.

I found this channel and the other one two days ago. Been binge watching ever since. Thanks for the content @John Malecki

Try the dowel maker again but spin it the right way next time.

Spinning the dowel in the wrong direction. Doh! 😂

Love it! Keep up the great work😂

You should try to make the picnic table/benches with a “real wood/live edge that meets in the middle” as the table top/ back rests!!

John, being human means we are not perfect. However, checking rotation direction making towels is a must. I was well pleased that you made some great copies. Good post mate 👍

“After this I’m building a picnic table out of 2x4’s” definitely the funniest line I’ve heard in a minute.

The king👑 of youtube is back and made a good video

I've seen the bench/picnic table at our local state fairs. They're pretty cool and placing that by your shop BBQ would be sweet.

I love how there isn't a locking mechanism to stop the table top from folding down.

In the section where you build the table, your screws look like they're going in so smoothly! I have the biggest issue with stripping screws, and really struggling to get longer screws into wood in my projects. I'm not sure if the problem is my bits, my drill, my wood, or my technique. But what do you suggest I try? My drill seems to have the power, but I'm just shredding through the screw heads so easily. Appreciate any tips!

Look where the dust is piling up, defiantly the wrong direction on the dowel. I'm assuming he did it for engagement and nothing else.

Editing is on point!

I have a handful of vintage shop shades that are probably from the 70’s or 80’s. They are the same shape but gold colored metal frames.

Build a all wood barbecue

I thought the first bowel was stupid... but imagine how perfectly that would stack in the cupboard. You could even put them sideways.

quick idea. why not weld the actual recip saw blade to the side of the quick clamp?

I want that picnic table lmao

Add a couple pieces if wood that twist through 90 degrees to support the top and you are laughing on the bench table

Seen that you had the cutting part on the wrong side so thats why your were burning the dales instead of cutting your drill spins towards the right and you had the blade on the left.

Hell yeah we need to see you make that wooden jersey!

You should definitely do a plans design on the picnic bench and make it better

4:58 surely be easier to cut a blade down and weld it to the clamp?

We need outdoor shop shades/sunglasses 😂❤

Do a video playing with a moulding cutter set on the RAS to make trim…. 👌

That spring joint could look cool as table legs

6:05 For the recipe saw, you could have bolted the blade to the clamp
