Tres Burrito is your av from Sellers' mallet making videos? Just curious In other news, god in heaven, I got a Stanley SB-4 as a gift for my first bench plane (my experience with woodworking is largely doing very rough carpentry, nothing in the way of fine woodworking, but I'm trying to get into it) and I've been trying to grind it to flat and oh my god this loving thing will not flatten and I hate it forever and want it to die in a fire. I'm basically hatefucking this thing flat while waiting for dungeon queues in Final Fantasy 14 to pop. kill me, i crave the release of death

Hey guys long time lurker Just scrolling through my phone at old pictures, we (hardwood flooring company) did these a couple years ago when my cousin bought her condo in Boston and were constantly trying to find uses for nice excess wood my dad doesn't have the heart to get rid of, sometimes ends up being worth it! Here they are unfinished. Ended up coming out awesome

^ I saw that and I'm totally going to give it a try. Seems fun.Hypnolobster posted:Got a little farther on my black locust workbench, but the exciting thing was that I got the blacklight I ordered. I really wanted to use more black locust for the base, but everything I had left was somewhere around 6/4 and that would have looked a little puny. At least the top still glows under blacklight.     The top weighs somewhere around 350 lbs, and the leg assembly is probably another 130 lbs. This is really difficult to move around by myself.

24" bessey bar clamps, usually $24, have been on sale at Home Depot for $13 for a while now. Well, today they're clearing out any remaining stock and are marking them down to $6 and change. I cleaned out two HDs this morning, the third was already empty. They hadn't even put the stickers up at all of them yet. The sale price doesn't appear online, it only shows up in the store. Go get 'em! This is the actual clamp, it's NOT the clutch style: http://www.homedepot.com/p/BESSEY-TG-Series-24-in-Bar-Clamp-with-Wood-Handle-and-4-in-Throat-Depth-TG4-024/204986221

You can get a 24" F-style clamp like that at Harbor Freight for like $2.50, I don't see how those are any kind of deal

Could be, I usually avoid HF and Bessey's a fine brand, but I imagine for clamps HF is fine. But at least in my case, HF is like a 40 minute drive each way so there's that.

I've always ordered HF online and never had a problem, you do get a goofy-large box when ordering the long clamps though. I'm pretty sure the clamps sold at Lowes/Home Depot are all made in China as well, so there's no reason for the significantly inflated price.

Super Waffle posted:You can get a 24" F-style clamp like that at Harbor Freight for like $2.50, I don't see how those are any kind of deal While I would normally agree, I picked up one of these last week and it's a hell of a lot more stout than the typical F style clutch type. I'm not sure that really equates to any additional clamping force however. Beyond 24" are F clamps worth it anymore? I've had a few projects that need something longer than 24", so I considered picking up 36", but I wasn't sure if they had it in them. I would love a couple of Bessey or Jet parallel clamps, but the price is hard to stomach.

Yeah, harbor freight clutch f-clamps are not nearly the same thing as the heavy duty 4" throat f-clamps Munki is talking about. Completely apples and oranges. Also I've never seen the 24" clamps for 2.50. the 6 or 12" ones yes, but not the 24's Above 24" due to deflection (even with the much heavier f clamps l) I prefer pipeclamps or the heavy parallel clamps if you have the cash. I think the heavy duty f clamps are probably good to 36" but I don't own any so I can't verify.

If you're looking online, it won't show that $6 price. Also be sure you're not looking at the clutch style. e: Oh you figured yourself out, good deal. On the topic of pipe clamps, I would just like to point out that on a 10' length, even a 3/4" pipe clamp deflects pretty heavily. Sigh, but I guess it's okay, I didn't need that much clamping force, just had to force some pieces together a little tightly long enough to get some lateral clamps on the piece. I'm not sure what a better solution would be at that point. 1" pipe? Or maybe something entirely more industrial, some sort of massive press thing or something.

Do you have a wooden floor in your workshop/garage? Nail/screw wedge shaped blocks to the floor slightly bigger than the object, and drive other wedges in to tighten things up. Or use the wall, or some long planks, etc. Or use ratchet straps. Or improvise some sort of goberge.

GEMorris posted:Trying to imagine the need for a 10' pipe clamp Bad Munki posted:Man, lots of butcher block counters and benches and such around lately. Which is remarkable to me personally, because I'm doing the same drat thing. Mine is going to be 9' long and 30" deep and will be my workbench/desk in a room I'm redoing, just finished the floor and walls actually. Haven't found a better way than a long-rear end pipe clamp to push the ends of the pieces tight together. If I don't clamp them that direction, it ends up being a poo poo glue-up. There's enough friction (I'm putting splines or ribs or whatever they are when they're in an along-grain orientation) between the pieces, and with the glue on, there's enough friction that just whacking the end of a piece doesn't actually press it up nice and tight. So I clamp it the long way until I have the cross clamps on. The whole thing is 9' long, so yeah, 10' clamp. Tried a strap clamp and it just didn't have the force. Also that last picture isn't really accurate, I then cut them down to shorter lengths ranging from about 8" to 16", and also made a ton more of 'em. e: Here ya go:   Well I rotated that last one accidentally but I'm too lazy to fix it. Fortunately I know a guy with a planer that can eat the entire 30" width of this thing at once, so smoothing it down won't be a major ordeal.

You are butt jointing all of those pieces together? Guess that would necessitate 10' long clamps, it's just not a method I'd ever do personally (I'd just buy wood that is the right length). None of that is meant as a jab btw.

^ Butcher block is usually butt joined random lengths, or at least big long butcher block tops seem like they usually are. Unrelated, all the 8/4+ wood I have is either wet or for a planned project except this little black locust slab, so it gets to be the leg vise chop.

GEMorris posted:You are butt jointing all of those pieces together? Yeah, it's supposed to have that sorta patchwork look to it, hence the short lengths. And I think if I didn't have them as short pieces, and instead just a massive lamination, it'd look like a walnut bowling lane. Sure it would have been less work, but that just isn't the look I was after. I think it's gonna be pretty lovely when it's done, but boy howdy getting there is a chore.

That type of butt jointed "butcher block" exists because there are automated machines that can crank it out rapidly from stock that would otherwise go to waste. Before the finger jointing machines used to create it came to be, it wasn't (to my knowledge) a thing that existed. End grain (what I call real butchers block) existed, but the long-grain-made-from-many-small-pieces stuff is an artifact of factory waste reclamation and optimizing utilization of otherwise low-yield lumber. Again, not knocking what you are doing, I'm just saying it didn't occur to me to manually produce what has historically only been a machine made artifact.

Oh definitely, it's one of those things that was waste reclamation that became fashionable, certainly. On the flip side, the cost of a 9'x30" slab of the stuff would be pretty drat expensive, and finding one to the specs I need would likely be difficult: it needs to be particularly thick because it's going to span a pretty large gap. Granted, it'll be supported along the entirety of one edge, but I don't want it flexing at the front. Anyhow, yeah, I take no offense, and it was really just one of those crazy hare-brained schemes that I ran with and now I'm committed so here we are!  And I agree re: end grain being the real butcher's block design, but I'm not sure that this style has another name.
