Patrick Sullivan

I have been a woodworker for more than 50 years, making everything from furniture to jewelry boxes and clocks. In the past few years I have been absorbed with making hand tools. In this era of mass production, the idea of creating beautiful tools that I can customize to my personal needs and preferences seems especially appealing. I want to pass on the lessons I have learned so that others will be able to have the same satisfying experiences that I have had.

    Thanks Patrick. I've done something similar with dust collection for the router, but instead of "shrinking" the elbow with the heat gun, I've attached a short piece of 2" and enlarged it with the heat gun using a stepped wood cone. Worked well. I'll try your method next time

    Hi, This is a great solution to accurate depth measurement on the drill press. But, and I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this already, you should advise people to check inside of the press (while it is of course unplugged from mains) that the mounting holes have no live switching/wiring etc behind where they are drilling. If not then this could lead to very unfortunate and dangerous, if not fatal, results, such as instant shock or creating a live machine. Please don't take my comment as mindless negativity, I like your vids and appreciate the effort you take making them, I just think that this should have been pointed out before progressing with the actual drilling of the body. Again, thanks and keep up the good work!

    This is a must have item for me even though my small chisels are huge compared to yours. My free hand sharpening technique mostly works for me but I had to learn to use a very light touch and never be aggressive. I see you are gentle even with you jig and that makes sense. Nice build.

    If I may suggest, *Marius Hornberger* has an excellent video (actually _two_ 🙂) on doing a number of upgrades to his drill press. I'd link, but... YT deletes said links, even internal-to-YT ones. Search on: *"Marius Hornberger Inside a Drill Press"* He then followed it up with "World's Best Drill Press Upgrades" which adds still more. Marius has a GREAT channel, FWIW!

    Glass plates, both coated and uncoated, are available from a company in Europe called Zebra Plates. I had a good experience ordering coated glass plates for my 100 year old 5X7 camera from them. I think they will make custom sized plates for customers.

    Great video, Mr. Sullivan. For your next upgrade you might consider a inset waste disc. While routing circles and milling discs with precision are at the very boundary of my woodworking skills, it's truly a gratifying enhancement.

    It's harder to get a clean surface on end grain though - you would have to shoot the end where as with side grain, you can simply plane it on the bench no problem.

    I 3d printed some biscuits. After printing I have drilled a couple holes in them for glue to have a tunnel through the biscuit. I understand that most pva glue will not stick to 3d printed material. I basically use biscuits for alignment vs. Strength. The festool domino is just a overpriced idea . I am sure they have their own place but I am going to say that for 90 percent of the joints I build strength more than what the glue provides is a non issue. Festool has a place in some shops but not in mine.

    Hi - Thanks for your video and especially for the links. I have mine up and running - I just need to decide on the top layers. I made my own coupler out of brass on the metal lathe and just mounted the motor to the bottom of the table with a block that fits around the motor and bolts to the bottom plywood. I used over-sized holes to allow for adjust-ability. Thanks!

    Can you turn on the press and use the motor to lift the workpiece INTO the spinning bit? That'd be handy as hell in certain situations. Example: my radial press only has about 6" of vertical travel. I have a few 24" bits. If I need a hole 10" deep, I have to bore the 6, then crank the press up so the bit almost bottoms out, then restart the press and finish her off. THEN crank her back OFF again. I'd love to be able to just press a switch and raise it straight through. Even if I had to pause and jiggle the handle a bit to clear chips. I may build this one myself! Thanks for sharing!

    I've been following your builds since I found your small cutting tool series which I followed to make a carving knife for an old friend. I really love the clarity with which you explain your process, both in word and image/video - not to mention the extremely high quality of both design and implementation of your builds. I have very little expendable income but I do have a solid collection of tools and it's growing thanks to the inspiration you have given me to make my own. So, thank you for sharing your work, I truly appreciate it.
