Hi Spencer. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy and appreciate your videos. Not only are you a great trim carpenter, but have a talent for teaching that not many people have. I'm learning tons about finish carpentry. Thanks, Larry Altman Surfside Beach, SC

The look on your face when you discovered it was when a kid getting candy lol awesome

I never seen you so happy and giddy since I’ve been watching your videos, great job son your smart kid keep these videos coming

Lol i was thinking the same thing but boy is that a nice improvement with no money spent

😂 hi Spencer I love watching the instructions that you give to us, regarding removing the tape, and watching the face of the white oak going into the feeder and paying attention that it’s not 1 inch off of the fence before it hits the rolling wheels. Also I am admiring the knowledge of cutting the mitres 2/10 or 3/10 oversized. . It allows us to see and avoid probable mishaps that are going to happen during the fabrication process. After having worked in stair construction for sometime and now on site building cabinetry and posts, is very valuable to see multiple methods of building beams, and allows you to think more constructively when you do have to fabricate them on site. Your videos are amazing . keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you

I worked at a cabinet shop years ago and a job came in that required a very expensive veneer ply, to cut the dados I used a power feeder and fed the ply in backwards, worked fantastic with NO chipping, cheaper than a scoring blade!😂

I purchased a secondary mount for the feeder and drilled my table saw so it can be installed and removed easily. I also clamp the far side of the rip fence so the pressure of the feeder doesn't push the fence out of alignment. Really appreciate your content.

Thanks, I definitely was wondering if I would need to clamp the back end of the fence to prevent deflection.

With the water ingress under the door, apart from installing a external linear gate drain, direct fix "plastic" bunding in various heights, widths, materials, fixing methods and costs... mini speed bump at door. Or there are neoprene gaskets that can be installed to the bottom of the door. Raven is one manufacturer

This has to be one of the most comprehensive videos I've watched. Thank you Spencer!!!

If you're not graded properly you can put Linear drains in front of each door. I had to do it in my shop as it sits in a lower part of the property and would get water under the doors when it rained.

One small tip, add a mag feather board before the power feed front wheel and that will push your material against the fence before the feeder catches it. You can also set your outfeed second table just below the first and feed one board after another so one is always in the saw and you are running around to stack parts, not helping feed then stacking. This is coming from feeding thousands upon thousands of lineal feet. Glad that feeder was mounted to that shaper! I've seen some people mount those to smaller pieces, then try what you did and it tips over because the bottom didn't have enough weight to stay stable. Costly mistake when it breaks the feeder after it crashes to the floor. Great job on the tips for the beams!

We run 45 edges on martin 10 hp shaper with A 45 cutter and power feeder with a feather board centered on the spindle… much safer and better finish

I'm now retired but had powerfeeds on all my shapers and a post mounted one for a 12/14" table saw. At one time I tried mounting one on a Unisaw but the cast wings aren't strong enough and direct to the top didn't leave any room for the boards. I had a machine shop fabricate a post & arm to mount the feed to for the 12/14" saw. It was bolted to the concrete. We had 6 shapers. some left setup for one operation. One for lockmiters. A Gomad tilt shaper normally ran heads from the molder so we could get exact matches. Often baseboard for curved walls or curved hand rails. We had a Stegherr arch shaper for curved casing. A SAC shaper was setup to make round "Greek/Roman" style column bases and caps. We had a straight line ripsaw with chain feed. Normally run @ 99'/min. 15HP. Excellent surface for glue. You might want to see how your saw will handle a bit faster feed. I don't know if your saw can handle a glue line rip blade but that's what we used on the rip saw for really nice cuts. They do take more power because they sort of plane the edge. Got to love feeds, safer, faster, higher quality, consistent cuts & easier on the body.

Your attention to detail is excellent!

I think you can use a roller stand to support the boards as you're feeding them in at the front of the table saw.

I never see something like that cool!!!! One day I will have that machine

Try gently warming the tape with a heat gun for a few seconds before pulling it off. On the low setting for a few seconds is just right usually.

Looks like a finger or hand preserver to me! Even with the saw stop.

I STRONGLY recommend using a damp rag to wipe off all excess glue..... fits going to be stained, or clear finished, it will prevent any discoloration.

I just found your channel and I’m totally impressed. You share everything pros and cons. Thank you! You have gained a faithful follower.

Welcome aboard!

I have never seen so much excitement from you and I’ve been here a long time. This is awesome

Oh...that's awesome... that's as steady, as good as it gets man....just another thing to get...lol..

A little Jay Bates/Izzy Swan style front stand and it can almost be a hands-free operation. Such good looking beams! I hope to make some one of these days

Hi Spencer Using the feeder you will see that the cuts will now be more precise without burns and therefore more perfect joints in the beams, as long as the boards are relatively straight A stable feed speed with a stable saw rotation speed is the best couple to have a perfect cut. If you help yourself with a table at the entrance, the alignment of the board will be simpler The tracksaw have the vantage to make always a straight cut over a distorted board, this is not possible on a "short" tablesaw because it "short fence". You are moving the board on a fence that is shorter than the board, it had to be as long as the board at the entrance as at the exit, touching always the two unique points on the board that share the external straight line, as on a jointer entrance. On the track saw you are moving the blade over a straight reference, as long as the board and it's enough. Saludos Gerardo

I love all your work and your attention to details, I be learnt more from you than I’ve learnt from any school , thank you for all you do

Great info! Some squirrels need more time...

Put a drain that catches at the garage point.. that sucks .. but the shop is immaculate.. power feeder dang .. well done 👏

Spencer, Every once in a while the stars align😊😊 This way you do still have your shaper in your tool arsenal should the need ever arise. I tried to tape a mitre corner length wise years ago and YES, it created one hell of a mess. I was using MDO for some tapered porch columns. I was able to make it work, but had it been veneer plywood, it would have been trash time for a couple of pieces. Live and learn, right?? I don't know if you're aware of this, but at the end of the video as you were closing it, you still had a small smile on your face. The kind of discovery you had today isn't all that common. Enjoy it and continue to share your work. You are one of the best I've seen. Ron from Ohio

Hi 👋, Spencer , nice job, there is a better way of making these, by using a spindle mould block, interlocking, mitre joint block, It will make your life a lot easier, I was doing this sort of job about 20 odd years ago, then I found a German company called LEITZ , it has replacement tips, you run two boards lying flat on the bed, and you run the other two boards running against the fence, no need to cut any angles it’s all done in one job he just cut the board to the width you require, and then run it through on the spindle moulder, you will need a good outfit table and a good in feed table, I’m sure there is other companies around the world that make this cutter block, but if you are doing a lot of beams box section it as well worth the purchase, I think I paid around £400 for mine, that was awhile ago, I hope this can be some help. All the best for the future. Stay safe, Phil from the moulin France

Nice video, thanks for posting. If you like ripping on the table saw, one idea would be to scan the classifieds for a unisaw or contractors saw with unifence. The extruded aluminum fence can be turned on its side to clear the rollers, and the fence can be brought forward.

@@InsiderCarpentry Also, the trick you did works just as well with the jointer for surface jointing. 1 wheel infeed, 3 wheels on the outfeed. I use a little contractors saw with the wings off for ripping and to roll around to the jointer. Anything to keep the fingers away from the cutters. Just a little tip, I have learned a lot from all your videos.

Spencer, you are a GENIUS! That is what I always say when I have a moment like you did!

Hey big man, my name is John . I would like to say you have a great shop for woodworking. This shop will save you time. As you get familiar with all the extra room you have now. Keep up the great work.

a couple more comments, 1 is I do miter folds exactly you. 2 you need an in feed table on wheels. I built a cabinet (sturdy) that has 2 bottle jacks, one on each end. They raise and lower each end to plane out with my saws. You are always in perfect position at the saw, powerfeed or not. I would post a pic of my set-up, but I don't know how. dinosore

Great video Brother. Been at it for 40 years, and have used power feed for a long time. For whatever its worth, I would recommend putting a roller feed stand behind you so that your between the stand and the saw. It will helps get you closer to the fence get more control.

The smile on your face says it all. love your channel.

Great idea running the power feeder into the table saw.

Add a feather board in front of the roller location.

And clamp the out feed end of the fence.

My brother and I are renovating a old farmhouse in New Hampshire, we are constantly saying " What would Spencer do?" we love your video's. Great job on setting up the new shop👍

Place a drainage gutter under your roller door and connect it to the rainwater drain

I've been using a power feeder on my table saw for a few years and it's the best tool investment I've made. Mine is only 1/4 HP but mounted with four large Mag Switches so I can move it back an forth from my saw blade to built-in router table. I'd like to try it on my jointer but haven't figured out what to mount it to without welding a mounting plate to my jointer. The only issue I have using my power feeder is 1/4HP can't handle wide 8/4 material without me pushing through. At around 75 pounds, the trade-off is worth it because the 1HP unit you have weighs 134 pounds and magnets probably couldn't hold it down. Polyurethane wheels grip better than the OEM rubber ones. The benefits of a power feeder is that you keep your hands far away from the blade, cuts are continuous without needed to stop for moving your hands to push a board through and avoiding small ripping nicks from hand repositioning. For large productions of many boards, a power feeder conserves your energy because when fatigued, accidents are more likely to happen. I badly cut a finger at the end of a long day on my table saw and was lucky it wasn't severed.

I also use in-feed and out-feed rollers for 10'+ boards or else it's tough to get the boards lined up parallel to the fence before the power feeder grabs them. I've learned my lesson to take my time with setup or I'll end up with expensive waste and frustration. Unfortunately, it took me a long time to figure that out!

Oh okay no hands!? Daaaang! And it keeps the working piece on the fence. Cool.

You could see how giddy you were before you even said it lol. That's how I felt yesterday about my much less substantial table saw upgrade. I was immediately concerned about pushing the fence out of alignment but I noticed another commenter mention a clamp so that's covered. Might be a bit crude but maybe a rare earth magnet recessed into the fence that could receive a C-clamp that has an end the same size as the magnet so it won't flop around while you move the fence and can also be quickly removed. Handle could be cut down as well if needed. Always a pleasure to watch sir.

You could probably attach some sort of in feed support to the side of the shaper attached with mag switches.

Always great to see someone excited about his craft !!! This looks to be really beneficial !!

Nice set up! I can give 1 nugget of advice, make a few small support tables with melamine tops for the in feed side so you can be at the front of the long boards when you send them thru. Should be able to avoid the grabbing in the wrong spot. Always like seeing your projects! Keeps me inspired to work on my own projects.

Great stuff Spencer! Take a look at the Bora adjustable conveyer roller. It may help you on the infeed side of the saw and many other tasks. I use mine for multiple purposes. Plastic single edge razor blades may help with the strands in the strapping tape. Great video. 👍

Nice! Mechanization is a wonderful thing.

I have been using powerfeeds for 40 years and over the years you tend not to use them just because of the hassle of moving them from machine to machine magswitch will blow you away!

That increases your safety factor tremendously as well.

Another thought. you could use a Spencer Lewis auto stacker to remove & stack the material from the out feed..😊 nice to see you so happy, you deserve it

We do this exact thing when ripping long miters. Keeps the wood from lifting off the table. Perfect miters. Cheers from Montana

You brightened my day with your enthusiasm. Any chance we"ll see you install these beams? I can't figure out the application with them pre-built four sided. Great stuff, Spencer!

Probably not because its hard to film this type of install and I'm ready to be done with this job :( ... They go in a great room tray ceiling and will be floating... thus finished on four sides.

I keep about a half pint of naptha in a small squeeze bottle to remove tape adhesive. I just wet the tape remnants, let soak a few seconds and it comes off pretty easily. Naptha evaporates quickly and is ready to sand immediately. The naptha does not affect my lacquer finishes.

Man I love all your tools/toys..in your shop & in the field..make’s your job and quality a lot easier..of course your skills drive it all..I learn so much from you..thanks for posting your videos and sharing..I know filming and editing take a ton of time so everyone please order what tools ⚒️ you can from his links to help keep these very informative videos coming..have a blessed day 😊

Love the power feed! What about a foot switch or some other way of controlling the feeder that would be easy to stop if the board is pulling through incorrectly?

My guess is that you will get a power feeder just for the saw. I don't think you will need as powerful a feeder for the saw - or you can just buy a mounting plate. Great Video! You do look a giddy child with the power feeder!

BADASS!!

Easy garage door fix using a garage door threshold. Typically a rubber one you caulk and anchor to the concrete. Stops blowing rain from getting under the door. Let er rip Tadder Chip! 😂 Pun intended. 👍 Edit. Hey, love’s those safety contact lenses! 👍 😂

Good idea--I did the same with my garage door. Haven't had a problem since.

I also prefer a lock miter joint using the shaper table set up against the wall with 20'ft out-feed deck in either direction and a dedicated auto feed.

had the same water problem at shop door. I took a concrete blade in an angle grinder to it. SUCKED. but worked

Cutting a L shape out from under the door ??

Shop looking good. Having more space lead you into trying the new set up? Unintended efficiencies = money. Moving the massive equipment on the furnished roller looks easy, easy when you have a smooth clean floor and proper casters, factory furnished. Portable equipment great until…. I’ve had a table saw flip from “my” improper caster set up. High center of gravity & dirty concrete floor. No one hurt, no serious equipment damage just scared the $hit out me. Redesigned and lesson learned.

Great idea Spencer! Perfect shop helper.

Need a little hook mounted to your table saw to hang the air gun for blowing off the rollers on the power feeder. Great shop, love the content.

Great idea, and it didn't cost you anything. It looked pretty easy to set up and also safe from the blade

Pretty cool setup Spenc. I have seen Farrington set his feeder up the way you were going to do it. It works great but it is heavy, and it will save you a bunch of time when you need it.

Lol gotta love those moments when you are overthinking an idea and a simple one comes about 😅 im currently building out my first shop over on my channel and love watching amazing development

Thanks for the idea!

Wow. Pretty awesome.

Thank you for making this content. I am also a finish carpenter and am alway learning new things from the KZread community. One suggestion to you is i use the rounded area behind the head of my trim hammer to burnish the sharp edge it keeps your hand away from splinters and you get better leverage for comfort and control.

I have a smaller power feed that I mount to both of my table saws. I drilled and tapped 1/4-20 holed on the table. Great for when I am doing lots of dados as it keeps firm pressure on the material.

My shaper with a large power feed like yours doesn't move so easy.

I do the same thing, works great.

Melamine works good at first but gets beat up easier. I use MDF still smoother than the ply at first but as you use it, the friction of the wood buffs it super smooth. You can also help it along with a sanding and finishing to if you desire.

Lots of shop space. Room for some stock caro you can load material as it comes off the saw and then roll it back to the infeed side for its next pass.

I like your tip 😊

You're the man Spencer! Great content as usual. Love to see well thought out approaches to carpentry solutions. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Watching your videos makes me want to strive to be a better more prepared carpenter.

Very impressive.

Yes light bulb moment, while I don't do much in production runs on my saw here's an option

Love the power feeder approach, Spencer. Fighting long heavy boards through the table saw is no fun!

What about a popcorn machine in the corner?😂

Fantastic. Jealous of the power feeder. I really like the black melamine at Menards, about $50 for a full sheet. Been using it for a while on my outfeed/assembly table. Some infeed support might help as well.

Nice vid. I use an auxiliary 1x wood fence on my saw about 12' long. It over hangs the infeed side of the saw about 6'. I screwed a 1 x 3 on the bottom edge which holds up the stock i'm feeding. Also don't be afraid to run your saw blade up into your feed wheel. There will be times that you'll be ripping a bunch of 5/8 strips and that will allow the feeder to push both pieces thru. The next thing you'll be buying is an insert molding head made just for table saws.

Sweet !!!

Spencer, the power feeder hack is awesome! I'm going to have to try that with my setup, too! One thing to keep in mind as well is the glue you are using to create the joints. Titebond 3 dries to a very hard shell as it's waterproof. TB2 however, is water resistant, and remains more flexible while having the same bond strength. Hope you have a great weekend!

What a great informative video. You’re the best Spencer… learned more tips in the last two months watching your uplifting videos than I have in the past few years. Well done my friend, keep them coming. This Texas boy appreciate your updates…

Hey Spencer. You may want to consider wearing a dusk mask while close to the work like that. Even though you have a dust collection system, there will still be fine particles in the air. A friend of mine is a pulmonologist and has told me that aside from smokers, Carpenters make up a lot of his patient clientele.

I'm definitely at risk... I have inhaled a lot of dust in my days...

Have you ever considered using a sacrificial fence to cut your miters? Its great if you have multiple widths. You can cut all of your different widths first and then set the fence up once and ad the 45.5 cut after. Also, have you ever considered using excel to make cut lists for your trim? I have made a bunch (for google sheets). Windows and wainscotting are the most effective, doors are great if the floor is level.

I won't be buying a power feeder anytime soon, but that was a ton of helpful information on making beams! I am sure that I will be able to use that tape method for some other things as well!

You might look back on his previous videos. He has shown the same technique and detail in making beams. Gets into more details. As he mentioned he’s tweaked his taping technique and tape brand a bit. Conceptually the same.

Looks like the blind squirrel found a nut. Any day you can minimize some labour intensive work is a good day

I've been using my power feed bolted to the table for this for several years. I am now trying to find a magnetic base to make it removable. have not found one strong enough yet.

I wish somebody would recommend for you to use an infeed support system. 😏 Great video as always! I can tell it’s not your first rodeo! 😁

Since your hand is away from the blade I would think you could shut off the sensor of the Saw Stop ? Just Lessing the chance of a work stoppage for things like moisture, stables, ect.,. I don’t know do not own one!

Regarding "eating" sawdust. If we ate it, it wouldn't be a problem. Trouble is, when it goes into your lungs, it doesn't come out, especially if it gets deep into your lungs. I have four nodules. I do not know where they came from, but it could be sawdust. I wasn't careful at all. Now I am. Wear good mask or respirqtor would be better. See what Ashley Harwood uses.

More tape!! If you run full length on the show face you won’t have any squeeze out, I like the blue for that
