Fed Learns To Make

Fed Learns To Make

Hi, my name's Fed and I'm teaching myself how to make things by watching tons and tons of KZread videos, and making lots of mistakes along the way.

I'm learning about woodworking, electronics, 3D printing, cosplay, prop making, 3D design, welding, repairing stuff, mold making, diy, resin casting and lots more.

Join me on project videos where I put some of what I'm learning into practice, or on review videos where I summary what I can about a particular topic like wood routers or soldering.

    Best reason ever to get a band saw!!! I'm looking at this one, or the one Harbor Freight sells . . . for wood projects . . . although when my dog gets too old to eat her treats, I will have this tool for her.

    Well, advice long after the video. Lower the blade on table saw turn it over and lay the table saw top onto the plywood and trace it out or at least mark the extents.

    you could have put a tight fitting piece of plywood in between the upper wall mounted french cleat and the lower, hinge mounted one, thus locking it in place. these locks often don't get mentioned or are not necessary for e.g. a small shelf holding a bunch of screwdrivers

    I bought a small table saw, I found that the sliding part was not allowing my saw to cut anything I needed. I also figured out that the surface is not big enough, so I started watching videos. Many videos. many. They were all technically over my head and way too ambitious for my small area I have to use. Two of them, took up at least a 1/4 of a garage!!! I just needed some ideas to use to make my saw be functional to do any kind of work at all. Then you showed up in my feed and I have some good ideas to use. Also the fact that you make mistakes makes me feel better as I am classically trained in music not shop class. BTW My first cut to make my little bird house was right down the middle of a board about 5 feet long. Scared as hell, and hoping I set up my moveable guide straight I started.....my neighbor upstairs got an earful, but it turned out useable. Thanks for taking the time to make understanding videos. If all the makers would back up and think about the idiots like me, it would be much better for beginners. Ciao! from Italy...

    Please stop crosscutting against your fence. If you need to cut a board on a table saw that’s wider than it is long, move the fence out of the way and use a miter gauge or make a crosscut sled. If you think a router kick-back is scary, wait until you see one on a table saw. It’s like a bomb detonating and throwing the workpiece into your face (if not right through your appendix). An angel was watching over you as you crosscut those two pieces near the end of the video. That angel might be busy doing something else the next time you try that move though.

    You're right, and I no longer make cross cuts like that. I have a cross-cut sled and a miter gauge. Like with the router kick-back scare, I'm learning from those experiences and from comments like yours. I should do a video about lessons learned.

I had no need to watch what you were making. But your delivery is SO funny and it was so much fun to watch the video that i loved watching the WHOLE thing!! Thanks! You have a new subscriber!

    Everyone starts somewhere. I think you did great. You'll learn more from mistakes than being told. Just gotta get there without loosing any fingers or your life. I have to say you extension arm was a great idea and your solution for keeping it from pulling out was simple and solid.. Only thing I would suggest is that you put both mounting bolts in from the top. Obviously not a big deal here. But reason being if the bolt should fail, it won't' fall out. Well done sir.

Success is in the doing Keep that in mind when you are next constipated 'Trying' will only bring you pain and nothing else Trying is one of those useless filler words - STOP using it

    I've never cast resin, but from all the videos I've watched, I think the process would be the same. The only difference I can think of is that you wouldn't need to use such thick wire for the vent hole, as resin isn't as viscous as concrete.

    screws go in to the glued wood just like your nails did, i.e. to hold the piece while the glue dries. there's no need to use clamps and then screw. the kerf slots should point inward, never outward. There is no structural support when they are just hanging out. It's akin to just using a 1/8th sheet of plywood at that point.

    Did you leave a small cavity at the top of the container to hold coffee beans (to disguise the fact that the container is holding something else)? Or is the top lid now fixed in place?

  • @FedLearnsToMake
    @FedLearnsToMake Жыл бұрын

    Darn! I should have done that. Good idea. The lid isn't fixed in place -- it can be removed. What I did was remove the coffee beans from the bottom, leaving the top foil undisturbed.
