I think everyone has that moment during a project when something doesn't go right and you question every decision you've made bringing you to that point. And all you can do is accept it and figure out how to fix it. Great job. I'm not a wood worker so everything you did in this video is sorcery to me. Very cool end product.

You know, I never thought of using a table saw for cuts like that - I always use the bandsaw and make lots of diagonal cuts to remove material, and the inside surface requires a lot of fiddly sanding to make even. Nice little table! Oh wow, and it just occured to me that I can use this trick to fix a notch that I need to deepen in a piece I had already glued together. As it stands, I can't get the piece where I want it because the other sides are in the way, this just might work. Thanks for showing a different way to use a tool!

Glad you picked up something from the video, Peevester! This method is how I make a lot of dados and tenons on the ends of pieces of wood. Make sure to hold it very securely though, I always use a cross-cut sled because it supports the wood on both sides of the cut. Stay safe, and let me know if you successfully fix that notch!

@peevester9987

@@dkbuilds It worked! It took about 2 minutes to make the cut, and the result looked better than the original notch I had cut with a bandsaw and diagonal cuts. So long as you square up each side with the fence first, this is a very handy trick. Thanks again!

Sweet job! I just love the fact that you kept pushing through the hiccups. Hey, quick question, I'm making a similar piece, would you say it's critical to the integrity of the piece to double up the center thread ? I wanted to try with a single thread, just as a matter of looks. Cheers from chilean patagonia!

@dkbuilds

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Jonathan! Whether you need a single thread depends how strong the thread is. It needs to be able to hold the whole weight of the top of the table plus what you put on the table plus a little more from the four strings pulling downward. My fishing line was weak so I doubled it up, but if you use stronger string a single one should work. Good luck!

This is so awesome!

Cool, David. Hadn't seen this sort of thing before. I gather the name comes from "tension' somehow? Love the 5 steps of grief part. lol. One tiny little tip for you, as I had run into this in the past. When you were holding down the piece and trying to scribe a line around for the mortise, a very tiny spot of CA glue will hold it in place long enough to get the lines scribed. Then with such a small drop of glue, it breaks off easily without issue. After many times having something slip while holding it, I tried that. Forget where I originally saw it mentioned, but it works like a charm.

Oh sorry I missed the second half of your comment. That's a great trick! I will definitely try it. Do you use accelerants with your CA glue to get it to dry faster? I've been meaning to buy some but haven't gotten around to trying that out yet.

@DonsWoodies

4 жыл бұрын

dk builds yep, I do use accelerant most of the time. I don’t use it when I need a little time For positioning. What you were doing would be one of those times when I wouldn’t. Tried all kinds of CA glue over the years including some exotic stuff from Loctite when I was in a machine shop, but my favorite right now is the 2P-10 stuff. Can’t say I’ve doing clinical trials, but my gut instincts is that it’s slightly better than others I’ve used. Just used it a few minutes ago making a little standoff For my table saw for cutting off pieces with a miter gauge. I’ll send you a picture of what I mean

Nice!! I just made one of these tables from spare plywood, string trimmer line and some rusty wood screws. I made one because I didn't believe it would hold up anything and I was wrong! They come together pretty quickly and surprisingly sturdy provided you secure all the cables. I rigged mine like you'd rig a sailing ship--in one hole, out the other. The whole thing came together in about two hours. The next one I make will look more like yours. Nice job, I got some tips from how you did it.
