This is the " BEST " Dust Collection videos !!!! Wow, you hit everything that was important, how and why in one video and built a beautiful solution project all in one great video. Thanks for sharing...
I really like that you touched on the law of diminishing returns here, important concept.
Can you thin the waxed shellac? I can’t find the unwaxed one where I live and I’ll like to apply it with a rag in thin layers like you are doing to an antique chair
with alcohol
@@wortheffortthanks for your prompt answer. The can says not to thin, so I've been trying to get more information before opening it.
You’re right, I thought it was me, but the thin parting tools do suck.
Always enjoy you videos! I definitely take this into consideration when I update my daily drivers. For now I will delight in my Craftsmans and Irwins, and that I finally know how to sharpen them!
The lamp stood out to me .thank you for showing it 😊
Thank for your videos, im pretty much an apprentice of this cannel, made my workbench guided by you first, and now here we are in this amazing series, one day Ill show you something build by myself that is worth it. Thanks again, cheers from Mexico!!!
i just built my first workbench by hand (Roubo- Moravian mix) and brought a Nr.7 cheap faithful jointer for it. after replacing the handle and getting it into nice shape I didn't use it for a long while, but then I had to flatten the underside and the top and was really satisfyied with my purchase cause it did an excellent job. it was 3x cheaper than a cheap thicknes planer and actually went really fast, fun too. i know i'm not going to use it on a daily basis, but i know every now and then it is the best and i can think of projects. i also wouldn't have had the needed space for a planer ... therefore I disagree with your Nr. 5. it probably depends on which state of woodworking you are in and according to which system you use your tools. agree on the rest
Just finished watching and went to drop a like, but then saw I already did! So here's a comment to express that I like this video, and the general approach of teaching skills over acquiring tools
Do you make these for purchasing or only learning purposes?
Your a great teacher, you've helped me a lot with my wood turning. Thank you very much.
Pretty damn cool
Video mark 0:40 The store bought shed doesn't include a lot of wood either. The studs appear to be on 5 foot centers. Lowes has some pretty crappy sheds. Nice job on your shed build. I like your foundation. This is my second time watching your build video.
Thank you Sir 🎉😅
If you throw those magnet strips at 11:44 on to your amazon store, I'd be happy to grab them. I love that idea for the turning tools. As always, I love your work!
Took waaaaaaaaay to long to get to the actual content.
Sir, you are a true teacher! Thank you for posting this. I wish you all the succes and hapiness in life.
Shawn your videos are always very useful and presented in an approachable and undersandable way. Thanks very much indeed.
What a great Tutorial. I'm no woodworker but, I find it fascinating how you explained a big project so simple and easy. I was able to make a BBQ table for my new grill and wifey is so surprised I was able to make one in 3 days. Thank you very much for all the practical ideas you presented.
When you breath in you sound like you smoke. just an observation.
Never have. Too cheap. Dont drink either. I’ll assume you’re by nature a rude insecure individual because this is something you’d never say to a strangers face but in anonymous comment sections….
@@wortheffort Incorrect, I'd say it straight to your face.
@@skyeditor1740liar too huh?
@@wortheffort wow, we got ourselves a woodturning tough guy, LOL
@@skyeditor1740 Nah, I just don't believe for a second you've ever gotten in the face of a stranger for no reason to insult their voice. People who troll online just aren't the type.
You have a great interaction with your Dad. I don’t think I would be his favourite self taught woodworker as I saw a person using a lathe once and thought “ How interesting!” So I constructed one on my home made table saw from my mother-in-laws bed! I was explaining how I made it to friend and he wanted to know what my mother-in-law was doing with a 20 year old electric drill in her bed It wasn’t an absolute disaster but it will do till I find one! My first project was a walking stick made from Australia hardwood and making that sharpened my evasive skills no end! I needed the 4WD to pull the chisel outta the mancave door! I’m going to make a wooden bowl next! I think!
@4:22 Those are Greene and Greene inspired tables, cloud-lifts and all.
I have been having trouble with my spindle gouges with catches. When I use my bowl gouges I do not have the same problem. This video is helping me figure out what I may be doing wrong. I think I am taking to agressive of a cut with the spindle gouge, where as the bowl gouge tends to allow a more agressive cut. Thanks for the video, it is very helpful.
You’re a national treasure, man!!!! Extremely high quality content
😆 loved the commercial 👍
The end grain staining has been a pet peeve of this very amateur “wood worker” 😂. Quite proud of many of my little projects, minus the dark end grain. Thanks for the tips.
Great video. Thank you
Great comments regarding grit, I stopped at 320 & often thought a 600 would give a keener edge, I bow to your wisdom. I also congratulate your accurate comments on Tomoslav, I stumbled across his Channel some time ago & find his tuition very practical and easy to put into practice.
Someone else has probably commented but what you are making as your applicator is an old style "rubber" which French polishers used to polish furniture.
Enjoyed the video (again). Thanks for sharing
Love my Airlocker !
What you called a 'dovetail' for the top plate is known as a scarf joint.
I agree with your assessment of 600 grit. I do not see much difference in the edge but you need to be dead on the bevel because it heats up fast and takes a while if you are not dead on. Tomi is a great WT KZreadr to watch. It has been fun working with him Sam and Richard for our month 4-Ways collab videos.
I use my drill press almost daily, for all sorts of tasks, including metal work... can't beat it for accuracy, especially when drilling from both sides to eliminate tear-out, of if drilling at an angle other than 90°, so I I have to disagree on that one. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments on pocket hole jigs. Never used one; never will. It seems a "cheat" or a cheap shortcut when there are more traditional methods of joinery. I also agree with your choice of the Mortising jig - my drill press (with its excellent, shop-built table and fence) along with my Narex Richter mortising chisels work well, and are far more rewarding to use. I do have a 1/4 sheet sander, but mostly because it was my dad's, and has sentimental value. But it is also a good finishing sander, on which I normally keep higher grit paper loaded, to do minimally invasive "between finish coats" sanding. A few years ago, I made a full-featured, large surface router table. Mine differs from yours in that I designed it to clamp on an adjustable-height workmate. It has a full featured fence system, excellent dust collection, and a precision Jess-Em router lift. I don't use it terribly often, but when given the choice between the table or one of my hand-held plunge or trim routers, I find the table to be more precise, and safer, usually offering superior dust collection. That's my two cents. I think if you asked 100 woodworkers (hobby, not production - different creatures), you'd be hard pressed to get all of them to agree on the same 5 tools they "don't need". It boils down to personal need and preference. BTW, almost all of my large power tools are mounted on retractable casters, so they can easily be moved wherever I need them at the moment. Except the above-mentioned router table, which is light enough to slide around the smooth concrete floor of my shop.
I agree about the tool rest. I have a Laguna lathe and it came with a 12" tool rest with the hardened steel bar at the top. For the smaller projects I got a Robust 6" rest. Mine is the taller profile but the hardened steel bar is just the best.
This is a very timely video for me as I've been looking to replace my friable wheels with CBN. It sounds like 180 grit with the radiused edges is the sweet spot for touching up my turning tools, and maybe keep a high-grit friable for shaping which I don't think is going to be as common. On the 600 I see that you have the type with the CBN on the side of the wheel. How often does that flat part get used in normal turning tool sharpening?
whoa a little color on the edge does not mean you take a half inch off the chisel. Just take away the color plus a millimeter or so.
thats a great demo of the coarse vs fine wheels and heat, its really counterintuitive and a demonstration like this is really nice
I just use platforms to sharpen.
Love your content Shawn, need more Dad too!
Very informative.
Fantastic video Shaun. I learnt something new. I’m confused though, were you doing fat end first or not. You measured a third from end but your drawing was showing thin end on end. When you demonstrated cutting your egg did look like thin end on end and finish cuts on thin end closest to lathe live end. I would think that thin end cut first, to remove more weight from end and then cut fat end last. This might be wrong as you have to cut fatter end from wood which could be problematic getting skew in, but remove enough wood from live end, waste end first. Hope that makes sense. I’ll definitely try an egg now. Always thought about doing eggs. I make Christmas trees, a lot of them and use these as skew and detail, and spindle gouge practice. Yes about 4 cuts to get tree fronds cut, well that’s the theory. Larger trees and hard Australia Timbers do take s few more cuts. Thanks for this one.
Try it both ways, skill builder.
Nice, most of the men in my family are master carpenters, I have always had a liking of woodworking, but never got around to it, I am going to do a simple work bench soon. pray for me. lol
Search "No Skill DIY workbench" I have one that'll teach ya skills while building.
Shawn thanks for this lesson. It confirmed that my choices for grinding wheels were correct. Thanks for sharing. Also, your bonus link to Tomislav Tomasic was on point. He is Raffan trained and is an excellent wood turner and teacher. I've been watching his videos for quite a while now. We are fortunate to have folks like you and him to learn from. Thanks again. 👍🏾
Brilliant video - I've been missing this format :) The info on the heat generated from the 600 grit stone was so important - thank you for that! In the reference links, you included the Wolverine (again - thank you), but no links to reputable wheels. Do you recommend one manufacturer over another, or are all wheels equal (aside from grit)?
I don’t know enough about the different brands available now to recommend one.
Wow! This is a very good video. I learned a lot. Thank you.
I find it hard to believe that there is appreciable heat exchange between the tool and the wheel. It's more likely that harder diamonds just cut with less friction.
I think the coarse wheel stays cooler partially because the ground off material takes more heat with it.
Tomislav is a very good instructor! For me, he's constantly doing "Why Didn't I Think of That?" turning techniques. Shawn, good video!
How is Jack doing
Thanks for the info about the CBN wheels I was in a bit of a dilemma,now I can take an educated decision I’m going for 180 and an 80 grit..
