Just stumbled upon your channel, now following on instagram as well. Thanks for the honesty and real world view on life here in France, making, renovating and surviving a new life adventure in a foreign country.......
Hi Russell. Thank you for your kind comments and thanks for the follow Regards JP
Happy routering! 😁👍
I usually buy the 8-oz bottle Gorilla glue because I don’t use it often. Transferring your glue to a dish soap bottle works well, however there are lids from various condiment pour-type bottles that fit some glue brands, e.g., salad dressing, Hershey’s syrup, tartar sauce, mustard, etc.
You ‘Yorkshire folk’ are funny!
😀
Excellent work, I have enjoyed seeing your working process. I learned a lot. Thanks so much!!
Thank you. Regards JP
Nice satellite dish. Ever seen an obelisk?
Evidently not.
like this one you mean? kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoWkrLarmMSYZso.html
What is it?
it’s a base for a Starlink receiver
@@Smallbarnworkshop Cool
Great vid as usual JP. New doggie??
@@gaz740 Hi Gaz. I Wondered if anyone would spot him. No, he’s called Max and we are looking after him for 10 days whilst his mum and dad are away. Bo really likes him and I think Gracie is happy with the time off 😁 Regards JP
We're hoping to move to France so will you do us a video of the starlink setup and what you think of it please. Take care.
Excellent. It’s really easy. Plug one end in to the receiver and the other into the router. Point it in a rough north direction and then the app will help you align it. It’s cheaper here €40 per month. Upload is around 25 and download between 150 and 250. It’s excellent for streaming but there are a few drop outs for video calls. Regards JP
Great video Jp !!!!
hi Michael. Thank you. Regards JP
Are you able to mount a nice blue triangle piece of wood on the front of it to create garden sundial or would it be detrimental to the broadband speed
hi. I would have to try but I think it would. The app shows obstructions even down to a tree branch of leafs. Regards JP
Bit of a niche build but lots of techniques to transfer to different projects. Thanks JP. Nice to see yer family too. Take care & stay safe.
hi Doug. Granted it is a bit niche, but will be interested if it gets picked up to the Starlink tech audience. Regards JP
Good job. It's all coming together.
Hi. Thank you. Regards JP
Hey mate, great video. Just a small thing to point out. The blue plastic in the base plate has a plastic film that is to be peeled off. Just thinking of your lungs mate and that horrible plastic burning smell! 😅
Hi. Thanks for the comment 👍 I've not used them as yet their just stood under the honeycomb tray, but I agree dont want the pollution. Regards JP
@@Smallbarnworkshop ahh cool. I loved the 3D cut out of Bo. What a sweet gift idea ❤️ Enjoy your day and thanks for the reply 😁
@@Wizzle888 You have a great day too. Regards JP
Really coming together JP. Looking really nice.
Hi Paul. Hope you’re well. Thank you. Regards JP
Wot No Snakes 🤣Interesting watching it evolve
Thankfully, no snakes. keep doing a bit until it’s finished. Regards JP
Good to see ye JP & family. Thanks for posting. Take care & stay safe.
Thanks, you too for your watch and comment. Regards JP
Did any one try to use the rage 5 stand with this new saw ?
yes. It doesn’t fit. The new saw is wider. Regards JP
@@Smallbarnworkshop To bad …
That is such a slick mft table design. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. After I build mine and work out the bugs I will build one for my son. He is a father of four beautiful young children and a career soldier in the US army. One of the busiest and hardest working people I've ever met. He loves woodworking and this will be such a blessing to him.
Fantastic, I hope he enjoys it. He deserves it. Regards JP
Great vid again thanks, You should put a cheap cross hair laser on your laser head to take the guess work out of positioning, I have one on mine it makes things loads easier. Creallity don't do one but its easy to make bracket and set up in Lightburn
Hi. There is a setting in light burn that turns on the laser at 1% to align. When I export a Gcode it does it automatically but when connected direct it needs enabling. I just couldn’t figure out how to enable. The crosshairs is a great idea though. Thanks JP
@@Smallbarnworkshop enable "Move" in drop down, Window top row net to Laser tools. open move window and it is at bottom right Fire button with % next to it
Thank you 👍🏼
Well for the Brits they should make a waterproof vacuum...
😁
Men of culture we gather again to appreciate workmanship and remember how the world was when we used to only have records or Radio.
Well said Gary! Regards JP
Like that. You have also given me the answer of how to produce an ipad stand from a piece of rough cut Oak from the family farm
Hi Paul, glad it was some assistance. Once you have a flat face and square edge you can make anything. Regards JP
A nice job JP. I've always thought there's something that's far more pleasing about browsing through LP sleeves rather than CD jewel cases. Love the use of the laser to 'brand' your work.
Hi Roy. Absolutely agree with records over CD’s. Unfortunately I sold / gave mine away when I moved here and I’m now 100% Spotify. It’s not the same though 😩 I’m slowly getting the grips of the laser and making it work for me. Regards JP
Not a fan of the music, but nice video and project 👍 Out of interest, have you tried Osmo as a finish on any of your work? It's my go-to finish at the moment and I Love it!
Hi Josh. It took me a while to get into jazz then I did a diploma in Jazz Piano in 2012. When I go and have a listen to Greg’s hi-fi we always stick some jazz on. I’ve not tried Osmo and never seen it in the shops here. Regards JP
@@SmallbarnworkshopCongrats on the diploma JP 👍👌
Thank you, not that I do anything with it, but enjoyed the journey. Regards JP
Looks great. Love the simplicity
Thank you! Regards JP
Brilliant JP👌
And a bit of jazz ….
10k worth of tools and not a fkn clue!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Much more than that 😁
The bar has 3 screws (left-middle-right) to adjust the angle. just screw in the middle half a rotation more and adjust with L & R to have the perfekt 90deg - the rest is done by the 30,45 or 60 deg slot
Thanks. I found them eventually and made a follow up video. Regards JP
@@SmallbarnworkshopNow I saw the follow up video! As you said, an instruction sheet would be helpfully 😂 What should we expect for 29€
I note that you had reinforcement underneath along the grain, but not across it. Need I say more?
As I said, I shouldn’t have loaded it before the build was complete
Appreciate the vid mate. Helped me make what I think to be a very good purchase!! 1 week till it gets here... 1 week till the wife kills me.
Good tutorial and that Obelisk is looking nice. It looks much better, then those made without cutting angles. Before I sou this, I started to calculate , but now I will take paper and measure, as you did. I don't have workshop and I will be makin it on the floor. How you fix obelisc to the ground, so wind don't turn it down and brake young clematis?
Thank you. it’s tied to some rebar hammered into the ground and extends to the first rung. Regards JP
Very helpful video - for me it confirmed the method for attaching the cross members. One question (perhaps I missed the answer): how did you avoid having the screws run into each other? That is, did you offset the screws on opposite sides of each leg so that they didn't collide when you attached the second screw? ps - Another method to secure the pieces for assembly would be to cut angled pads so as to allow use of horizontal clamps, instead of clamping sides to workbench. I use carpet tape in these situations to prevent pads from slipping.
HI. Yes the screws are placed to cross over and miss each other. With this width timber there is plenty room. Regards JP
Thanks for quick reply/answer. I like your design better than the ones with "skirts" around the outsides of the 4 legs. Down where I live we need to use treated wood (pine) for any outside project. That will require pilot holes to avoid splitting, but the rest should work.
@@fgriffintx yes pilot holes. I didn’t use treated pine and it’s doing well outside. The reason for not using treated timber was I build this during lockdown in 21 and I couldn’t find any anywhere. Regards JP
👍Completely agree with you about the hose adaptors / fittings. It's a complete pain in the f*+=ing arse that they can't standerdize them & it's not a massive rocket science difficult ask👍🏴
Nice one JP! I really enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming!!
Thank you, Glad you like them! Regards JP
Nice project going on there. Glad the weather has perked up. It has here too!
Hi Paul, hope your well. Thank you. Regards JP
Excellent project, looks very smart, made good use of the new router table too, oh, and nicely done with the cooking fat comment 😂😂👍
Thank you. I am enjoying the router table. Regards JP
Hi JP - Another excellent job which clearly the dogs enjoyed as much as I did. I thought for one moment when you leaned the door frames up against the workshop wall that you had glued up without the panels in! It was also nice to see 'Fairy' glue being used.😂
Glad you liked it Roy. Good thing about Fairy glue is you can take it apart again easily 😊 Regards JP
Great project JP, it looks great. Always a pleasure to watch, your videos are so well put together 👏👍
Thank you Chewie for your kind comment. Regards JP
That willget plenty of use during the summer !!! Enjoy Great build
Thanks Michael, it actually feels like summer has started today 🥵 Regards JP
Beautiful job there JP. I'm sure you and the family will enjoy it for years. Take care & stay safe.
hi Doug. Thank you I hope so and the dogs will enjoy the smells. Regards JP
Love, love, LOVE your videos!! Great skills woodworking AND editing.. Always a good day when you upload something.. Keep 'em coming Pleeease! 🙏👌
Thank you Josh that’s very kind. Regards JP
How much play is in the chuck? I had one from milescraft and hated it because of the wobble on the chuck. i think the defliction at the end of a spade bit was 1 to 2 mm. ok for construction but not if you got it for precise work.
Certainly not a couple of mm but there is a little. Regards JP
Thank you for the highly informative review.
Glad it was helpful! Regards JP
can you tell me about the precision of the side rail, is it easy to adjust with this rack system and is it just between the measurement adjusted on the saw and the piece of wood once cut, thank you
Yes and yes. I’ve just literally cut a panel 485mm wide and set the fence to the same dimension, When setting up there is a calibration process to ensure it’s dialled in. Regards JP
@@Smallbarnworkshop I'm considering buying this saw to replace my Ryobi, thanks for the info
You need a flip top table on wheels
Hi, not sure it would work for the bandsaw. I may need to stand on a ladder to use it. Regards JP
I'm trying to solve the same issue with my bandsaw and my Metabo thicknesser. I need to consider my back so ideally I need to operate both at standing height. Watching with interest JP. I've got two weeks off soon, and the workshop is the priority. Now to tell the wife!
Morning Paul. lugging these two tools around is definitely back injuring work, they must be the heaviest tools in the shop. I’ve not quite got it figured out yet. The planer stand I had in the loft was good but I think it would be a waste of space here. Enjoy your workshop holiday 😊 Regards JP
Talking about a pull-out planer and a pull-out bandsaw makes me think that what you need is a "cart of drawers". As with the bandsaw/plane joint cart, this is a previously unknown concept. Your cart would have two flat drawers - possibly with underneath drawer runners. You would pull out the tool you were using and the weight of the other tool would keep the cart upright.
You may be onto something there Stephen. Regards JP
Timing couldnt have been better, I have the same challenge with the same bandsaw , and a belt & disc sander on the same cart. I might just wait to see what is the outcome here. As always interesting.
Hi Paul, I made a similar cart for the loft for my bandsaw / triton sander which is light by comparison to the planer. I just slide it out for quick sands and took it out to the bench for longer jobs. I’ll link the video if it is of use. Regards JP

That could work as the basis of a solution for, thank you.
