So many mistakes. Cutting the whole board for a short (2.5") crack less than a 1/16" wide that could have been filled with a replacement piece of wood or epoxy or even just wood glue. Nut using dowels or biscuits when rejoining the cut board pieces to add sheer strength -- but maybe the glue is adequate. Not taping close to the edge to prevent glue spreading into adjacent grains. Not using a flat support under the board when clamping to ensure even alignment -- covered with wax paper to prevent glue adhesion.
Bro... Watching this video gave me so much anxiety. You should be in an episode of "Hoarders" 😂 Get back to woodworking man!
🤣 if someone told me from the beginning that it’s ok to get rid of scraps instead of keeping them. My shop wouldn’t look like that! 🤣 I’m looking for a new place to buy now but the market is slim in AK and the rates are insane!
Use a wire brush lightly and that gunk comes right off.. no need to turn it on, just the wire brush…
Thank you for that tip! Always looking for easier ways to do things. I appreciate that and you watching!
you see how at the beginning he gives WARNING DANGER statement
Great stuff and thanks for the share! I love the ingenuity
Thanks for that! Yeah it was super helpful. IF I had to do them again I think shooting brad nails would be quicker and easier to do. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The Girth to Tip ratio is very important according to the wife, but i like #2s!
Haha yeah I think she’s right I hear us Asians say length not so much matter 🤣
Btw for how much would you sell this board?
Around $350 give or take. I’m not sure where you’re at but walnut was around $18+ bdft here in Alaska! 👎🏼
@@ToguchiFurniture thanks :)
Climb cut on the chamfer usually yields cleaner result. Try it and let me know. :)
Ok cool thanks for that tip. I sold my place so I currently don’t have shop space now but I’ll remember that! Thanks!
I dig the background music
Thanks I appreciate it! Not being able to use popular songs on here makes it hard to select songs 🤣
What about hitting a small crack with superglue
I fill the tiniest cracks with starbond but only if I know they’re not going to cut on it. I did use some on a tiny crack before but it stuck out like a sore thumb after I oiled it.
What mobile base is that? Also did you have to take off the cast iron wheels To run the mobile base? Thx
It was the Bora mobile base amzn.to/3RVACfV I didn’t have to remove the wheels on the planer at all. I just sat it on the base. FYI if you have uneven floors it gets hard to move around but if you don’t it works really well!
@@ToguchiFurniture that actually was my exact question. My floors are uneven. Thanks so much for the reply. Hard to find much info on these!
@@kevinb6102 where I stored it was really uneven so I had to adjust the resting feet height to move it since it got stuck and it was a big pain. But when I had it on even flooring. I’m glad I had it. So if you get it just raise the resting feet! It was better than what’s on the actual Planer
@@ToguchiFurniture awesome thank you so much and thanks for the link. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet but when I do I will use your link. Thanks again
Muito obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência comigo.
What kind of power supply do you use to fractal burn ? I have a neon light P supply, noticed your does a pretty good job also.. Thanks
I just pulled a transformer from an old microwave. I haven’t used anything else before but it seems like it works well enough! Rather I’m happy with the results 🤣. And thanks for watching!
congrats on baby ps love the commentary
Thanks Dave! And thanks for watching! Yeah she's 21 months crazy how time flies by!
amazing art well done
Congratulations and good luck!
Thank you I appreciate it! And thanks for watching!
Love the builds. GL in the new shop and would love to see the crib board builds.
Thanks! Won’t say too much but that space didn’t last very long! 🤣 and hopefully it won’t take me too long to make that video but that’ll be my next video! Thanks for watching!
Good luck in the new shop.
Thanks! I don’t want to say too much. But that didn’t last very long! 🤣
That shoulda gone viral !
Haha thanks! Only if knew how to time my posts right or hashtag better. IF those were the issues
Great video very helpful!
Thanks! Not sure if you tried it before but it’s fun to do and be careful. If you have any questions just message or email me!
@@ToguchiFurniture awesome thank you will do!
Loved it! Your commentary was as entertaining as your boards are beautiful. Congratulations on your little Lady!
Thank you so much on everything! If you decide to try the board out let me know if you have any questions! And 20 months now! Crazy how time flies by! Hope you have a good weekend!
Hai
Hey! Thank you for watching. Hope you liked it! 👍🏼
And you're doing just fine.
Great Job! It was quite refreshing to have a creator just talk naturally and fully explain his methodology. No stupid contorted faces ,bad jokes or crazy music. I'm a sub.
Thanks Randy for all of that! Glad you enjoyed it! Since, that was my first video I had no idea what I was doing video wise. But, the more I do it the more I really enjoy it. Just need more time in my life to make more haha. Thanks again for the comment and sub!
Hermoso trabajo maestro ! 🇨🇱
Gracias amigo! 🤚🏼
Good try though 😊
😅 yeah my knee wish I would’ve never done that 🤣
What is the name of the electric wood cutter/shaper machine please ?
Hey! Thanks for watching! My wood cutter is the Shapeoko Pro XXL! You looking into getting one?
what was your starting dimensions and your finish dimensions? nice board
Hi! Thank you so much for watching and your comment/interest! Since I can’t paste a link in here. I have the link to my how to guide in the video description. It has the starting dimensions and final dimensions. Let me know if you have any other questions and let me know how it turns out! Thank you again!
Hi guys - what does this mean in the plans for cut list. . . (4x4) i.e. 10 strips of Cherry @ 23”L x 1 ⅜”W x (4/4)
Hi thanks for writing! Sorry about the confusion. I’ll correct it when I get home. But 4/4 is 4 quarters thickness. That’s how I get my lumber here in Alaska. However, it comes in a little thinner than 1” thickness. I hope that helps! And thank you for watching and trying it out! Sammy
Excellent craftmanship. i am just about to start making cutting boards serving trays and coaster. i use to make custom horizontal bee hives that shipped all over the world. was watching some videos of glue up stations were you can glue up several long lengths at a time. so i put in a order for two set of them. would be interesting to see what you all pay per board ft compared to my location. i use the standard woods like walnnut ,maple ,cherry ,purple heart, yellow heart, cannery, padauck and zebra wood for now/ waiting of a drum sander that should be here in a week, but i can finish getting the shop ready and begin ripping down some boards since i picked up a glue line rip saw also..going to follow your diamon layout but would like to add a row on each side of smaller diamons like the one i saw in your video. that one is bad ass fantastic.
Awesome, I really appreciate that! Glad you liked the video and more excited you'll be trying it out! good luck with the smaller diamonds, those can be tricky due to how small they are. But, if you can pull it off they definitely add some character to the board! What glue station are you talking about? The only ones I know are the massive ones where you can do 8ft+ glue ups haha. And you work with some nice wood! I haven't seen Yellow Heart and Canary up here in years! I've only worked with them once but love them. The last time I went to the lumber store 4/4 walnut was like $16.52 or something. That seems insane to me! Anyway, Let me know if you have any questions on the diamond board. I hope I was thorough enough in my write up! Thanks again for writing and watching, really appreciate that! Sammy
First time watcher and have to say you do a great job! Thanks for this. Gonna go through my scrap pile and make me some diamonds!
Awesome I appreciate that! I have a free how to on my site too. Hopefully that’s helpful as well! But it’s a good way to get rid of your scraps! Good luck and if you have any questions let me know!
Where did you get the ships
My client brought them to me but they got them off Amazon. Just search for miniature Star Wars ships and you’ll see them pop up! Hope that helps
New sub : your boards are a work of art !! Your video's are very informative . God Bless ( stay cool 😎
Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and write! I appreciate that a lot! Hope some of the things help you out! Take care!
Very nice. Informative. New to this. Very valuable information. Thank you
Thanks Lanny! Hope it helps! People voice their opinions on how dangerous it is. Which it is but if you do try it make sure you feel comfortable on how to do it or maybe buy a device from a company so it’s “more safe” or “less dangerous” 😅
Well done. Appreciate the detail you go into and for providing free plans. Congratulations on the beautiful little girl.
Thank you so much. Yeah she’s 15 months now and a firecracker! Haha. And of course glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching. If you try it out and run into any issues email me! [email protected]
A tip for your clamps, rub some paste wax into them, stops glue sticking to them and it also stops them leaving black marks on the wood when the glue does get onto them. Saves so much time and makes life easier. Also if you would like to get in better shape (not that you need it) I can recommend a 20min home workout for you. I have done this every night for 2 months and went from a 34 trouser to a 30. (Still eating the same amount of junk) I now have some muscle definition on my stomach, that's a first in 47 years lol. Keep up the good work. Love the videos.
Hey Derek, sure send me an email at [email protected] I'd love to hear about it. The only time i have definition there is when I draw them on with a sharpie! haha. But, congrats on your size 30. I can't remember when I was a 30! I finished that bench in August but with everything that was going on I was just now able to finish the video. But, I GAINED some weight between then! haha. But, after 12 months my daughter is finally sleeping through the night which is helping me out and now I have the energy to workout again.
And, I know you won't believe me but I do add paste wax on my clamps BUT that was when I bought them years ago so now I have to clean them up but I'll try and do a better job at upkeeping them! But, I didn't know about the black marks so thanks for that!!!
Nobody loves us like our mothers, skinny 😉
Haha true. But growing up with an Asian mom she’ll call you fat then tell you that you need to eat more 🤣
Glad I found your channel as I'm making a walnut table right now! For glue squeeze out, one tip I saw which I find invaluable is to rub some mineral spirits on the wood and this should reveal any glue that you have missed which you can then get rid of. The spirits also give you nice preview of what the wood will look like once you put an oil based finish on it. .
Oh nice! Thanks for that tip! I forget how useful mineral spirits can be! I’ll remember that for next time. Also, If I remember I might try painters tape at the joints then removing it once I clear off all the glue. Anyway, thanks again for that tip! And thanks for watching and writing! Good luck on your table!!!
Blair at 15:05 was awesome. Uh, yeah, the bench is really nice too.
Thanks Dan! I heard her talking with that accent and I was like yup! I know how to put you in my video 🤣 thanks for watching and writing!
Looking good sir!
Thanks man! I was done with this back in November 😅 but everything put my build plans on hold until now haha.
The finished product is beautiful ..... a work of art! Thank you!
Awwww thank you so much for watching and taking the time to write! ☺️
Nice work, job well done. Just a suggestion, l have changed from burning my logo to engraving with a diode laser, the results are way better, and lazers are not to expensive now.
Thank you so much! Yeah I hear you on the laser. I actually do have a CO2 laser which I do my logos with. I guess I didn’t show that part. I don’t even use my branding iron anymore because it looks awful compared to my laser.
Dude excellent video
Thanks so much! Let me know if you ever do one! Appreciate you watching!
@ToguchiFurniture I'm definitely going to give it a try. The ones people like are the ones you make just screwing off. Never thought I'd have to recreate lol
Haha, that's how it was for me then I foolishly said yes to the next person not realizing I couldn't 🤣 but glad it worked out! Send me pics or whatever when you get yours done or feel free to ask questions!
@@ToguchiFurniture I will do that . Thanks
Not just if you’re not careful. You can burn yourself no matter how careful. Do not try this act at all.
