Haha he also cuts them into slices and builds them up and puts them through his planer to make the sides. And uses a festool to sand. This guy is memeing on the thread

As a highly stingy poor, I'm all about reuse and so on, but stuff like cheap hollow core doors are junk material through and through.

Meh, it doesn't scratch any itch of mine but I watched the video where he made one, it's turned out alright. It's cool to reuse poo poo. Also that level is a $20 lovely old craftsman so its nice and light but I feel like a big pry bar would have done it a litttttle better

The DW734 benchtop planer is $399 on Lowe's. No idea if that's a deal, but if anyone is looking. Is this the "lunchbox planer" a lot of people like?

Building a workbench is an interesting experience, because the further it gets the more of it you can use to build the remainder.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I have the DW 734 and it’s fine. I used to use a pretty cheap ryobi and it was also fine-I don’t think it’s hard to build a decent lunchbox planer, so even the cheap ones seem decent. The DW735 is huge by comparison to the smaller lunchbox kind of planers. It really is a good planer and a step up, but also $$ and it weighs close to 100#, so technically portable, but not something you want to move around twice a day. How often do you use it? I'm trying to convince myself I dont need one right now

Harry Potter on Ice posted:How often do you use it? I'm trying to convince myself I dont need one right now If the question is more generally “should I get a planer” then I would say definitely yes, but it depends what you want to do. Anything that looks at all like a cabinet or most furniture they’re very useful, but you can always get presurfaced lumber. A planer is definitely most useful in combination with a jointer to face joint stuff, but there’s lots of ways to straighten boards without one. I know of several cabinet shops that don’t have a jointer or a planer and just buy everything S3S 13/16” thick and go to town with the table saw. If you want to cut out salad hands on the bandsaw or carve faces in logs or other fun stuff that doesn’t need two flat, parallel surfaces then you don’t need one at all.

Honestly a Planer and Jointer are the type of tools that pay for their selves when you are able to buy rough cut and face them yourself. That and being able to joint two boards and then plane them down is a staple when building large pieces. After all my searching for a bandsaw I ended up just buying a new one on sale. So far I am happy with it, the fence is sturdy, comes with a resaw bar and it is heavy as hell even with the open steel frame.

hell yeah 10-324 buddy! I'm still really happy with my saw after a couple months of light use. I went ahead and ordered the mobile base kit for it, haven't had a chance to install it yet.

Whipped up another batch of wand stands for a work charity auction, starting price at $15 each. Top two are mahogany, bottom is cherry. Top one is 12" long, other two are 10" Super simple to make, and everyone seems to go nuts for them.

Been working on a filterbox for the cyclone, finally moving forward after stalling a good long while. The smaller hole is 6", I have two filters to mount and the 6" hole will connect to a blast gate that goes to a pipe that goes outdoors. So I can choose to recirculate the air or blast it outside. Or maybe a bit of both. And yes that's one lovely quality threaded rod I got there, didn't see how bent it was until I got it home, oh well it will still work.

That's usually an easy fix if the threads aren't seriously deformed; most unwanted bends in new stock are gonna be from a couple discrete impacts that create a couple discrete bends, identify and correct those and you get straight rod. You can clamp the rod between some softwood offcuts in a vise to straighten it a bit without marring the threads. If that doesn't do it you can roll the rod along a flat board and strike the high points with hard, sure blows from a rubber mallet, or wail on the aforementioned offcut sandwich with the mallet. If a thread gets fucky but isn't badly-deformed or knocked flat you can often restore it with a hard steel nut threaded down and through the damaged area with the aid of a wrench and some oil.

Splinter order on the pain scale goes: Wood Metal Carbon Fiber Glass And I love wood glue on the hands, its like peeling skin without the pain  edit: but CA glue on the hand sucks. I got a 3rd degree burn on the tip of my finger when a paper towel soaked piece got stuck to my finger. All I could do is run around the shop in pain, the glue stuck it to my hand so I couldn't pull it away and the exothermic reaction burned me.

CA glue was originally invented for wound closure on the battlefield, it doesn't burn your skin... especially not to a blackened crisp, as with a 3rd degree burn. Is part of this story missing?

Try putting a drop or two of CA glue on a paper towel and report back.

I guess the appropriate action in that situation is to stick the finger in cold water? It won't stop the reaction but should hopefully suck away heat quickly.

OK I looked it up. ah it's generally only very mildly exothermic but thin glue on a fiber matrix accelerates curing so all the heat comes out at once neat, I didn't know that!

Is part of this story missing? CA glue exothermically reacts to a number of fibrous materials, so the story tracks. The glue wasn't burning the finger, the heat generated from the glue mixing with the towel burned the finger. efb

Yup, the Paper towel and ultra fine CA glue will drat near spontaneously combust. I use it a lot in rings, pens, and other small turnings. It really weird when you spill ultra thin all over your fingernail. That stuff seeps down into all around the nail making it feel like your fingertip just turned to stone or something. Now super gluing my eyes shut really sucked but thats a different story.
