    Great job! I will use your simple plan to make one out of cedar.

    You kept the knot in the pine. Good move. I think knots add character to a project. I like your style.

    Hey great video. I had a somewhat relevant question. When you drilled in the floor it looked like you drilled in about 1/2" in past the wood. Is 1/2" generally all that is required to fasten wood into another surface? I am building an enclosure and trying to decide if I should go 1/2" and 3/4" into the wood it is being fastened to.

    Usually I try to go into as much wood as possible to get a good connection. But for this specific video, the screws were more for stability so I wasn’t terribly concerned about the depth. Just make sure you know what you’re screwing into and that there’s nothing your screw will hit.

    Why did you secure it to the floor? You've put permanent holes in the floor tile to do so. There was no need for that. Just secure it to the wall.

    Would u say it’s alright to drill right into a laminate wood flooring? Under it is concrete… how would you approach this?

  • @DrewLarsenDesigns
    @DrewLarsenDesigns2 ай бұрын

    Another way to secure the base frame without drilling into anything is to use an adhesive glue. Something like liquid nail or loctite. These are very strong and will hold very well.

    The router bit width should be the same as the T-track you are installing. And then you can adjust the depth of your router to the depth of the track so it sits flush with the table 😃

Any suggestion on how to properly cut the 45 on the table-saw (or any saw for that matter) without going over or under.....thus not fitting worth a damn ( my issue ). LOL..... Thank you again. !!!!
