17:00 the way you’re holding the chisel looks awkward, with your left hand controlling the angle. You appear to be right handed so I’d recommend gripping the chisel in you right hand as if it’s a pen with the shaft resting on the web between thumb and forefinger. With this grip you’ll have more control and you can put pressure on the apex with your left hand. You’re stropping of the plane blade looked ok but the 2 knives were hard to watch. Stropping should be done at the same angel and direction as sharpening, not that slicing motion you were employing at almost 90° to the blade, that will damage your leather in no time.

maybe you just get a bad batch. I free hand sharpening my blades for 5 years with no issue, but I like the banggood jig which is no no-brainer to use. the result is pretty much the same

I own that honiguide for my chisels. Works excellent. Think you where unlucky with your delivery. There is only one point for improvement. The brass wheels should have been full PA6 nylon. I don't like the direct brass-stone contact. The rubber o-rings that are included are a bit flimpsy. Have ordered a roll of PA6 and some seperate ball bearings that I want to add in. Need a lathe to bring to size. Did not buy the distance block. Build one myself from scraps. Just as easy and consistent. Happy user. Might buy a second one so I do not have to swap wheels Inside outside for small/wide chisels.

Banggood price = Banggood quality

I looke dat the jig you showed, but it looked so easy then i know its difficult. I did buy a honing guide, now i wonder what kind of lube you use. I saw a bit of white foam, so thats why i ask. Thank you again for a nice video! Stay safe.

I like your take on the sharpening station. I've never been a fan of recessing a trio of stones in a board, because it makes working the back of the blade awkward...your idea of having an overhang is excellent and I shall shamelessly nick that idea for my version of a sharpening station. As for methods of sharpening, the very best one is the one that gives you the edge you want with the amount of effort that you are prepared to put into it. I've tried free hand, and I can't get on with it, but a simple, old Eclipse honing guide with a couple of diamond stones has worked perfectly for me for thirty years.

Your name is not really Captain Mikey. Anyway, I’m quite glad to see a bunch of honing guides on the market - don’t know about this one, but I’m getting something out of the cheap one I have, and I made a pretty angle guide for it out of wood. Works fine, and I use it as a helper: I always check the bevel during sharpening, and if it’s off, I adjust by lightly pressing down on either corner with a finger. I just don’t use my chisels and planes enough to get good at freehand sharpening, and I think honing guides get a bit of a bad rep - they’re quite useful.

Hi what size is the size of the actual saw please as i want to make my own cabinet for it Cheers

Thank you for putting this together. Factual, fast paced, articulate, informational. I now have some facts to help make a decision. God bless, Miles

If you don't want to pay that much: Mini combination wrenches and a drill.

Im 'trying' to calibrate mine now. Running those gauges through the miter slots is a waste of time because the cross brace rocks on the surface as its pushed across which isnt flat. Bloody aluminium tops!

The fence stores under the table, on the rail. That's slot you've got it in is for the blade guard.

I've watched a number of reviews.. noticing differences from the US model.

Brilliant

That is about. Mine has 2 areas for dust extraction! Bought mine about 6 months ago in the USA.

Use compressed air to remove most of the caked on saw dust and then use a dry lubricant such as silicone while being careful not to spray on surfaces that wood may contact. The compressed air is the most effective way and quickest method of removing sawdust within all the small crevices that are difficult to remove by stiff brush alone.

Excellent! I have exactly this dowel plate on the way. Good job with patching up the router damage -- it happens.

Love this!! This video was super helpful.You've inspired me to get my hands dirty and start building 👷‍♂

Happy with the Axmister table saw? Been thinking about getting one, instead of a bigger one

What a nice video! And what an excellent workshop your father has! BTW, is your father Dutch by any chance?

thanks for the review, im off to amazon to order one

Great idea. Plus a brave n a strong back. That lift beats all lifting in olympics, bc you are not a professional athlete... are you?

I like it. I’m going to appropriate the idea and make a couple of small mods for my purposes. Thanks for that. On a side note, that band saw looks as if it has the added benefit of clearing up any constipation you may be suffering from.

Using tape myself to secure the hose to various sanders ect, just had an Axminster dust extractor delivered so in the throws of upgrading the workshop , this is certainly an option, great video and excellent information. Thanks

This is awesome! Thank you! :)

Thanks for the helpful video. I'm feeling a summer shed project coming on when the UK weather finally improves. Are you finding any issues with condensation and rust yet? Any thoughts about ventilation?? This my biggest worry.

I like the forcing the wood glue into the joint using air pressure. That is the first time I saw anybody doing that.

Lying in bed with Covid and searching for a shed build video. This is just want I want but half the length incl the green roof. Question…how do u manage drainage for the roof? Now I just need to convince my hubby to let me at it 😊 very good video.

What a fun little project. Pushing the glue in with air pressure is a clever idea. I'm going to use that one day. Looking forward to your next video. Take care.

I have the AC216TS and the riving knife and poorly designed clamp to the blade guard drove me mad as I also needed to do a series of groove cuts. Like you I cut the top off the riivng knife, not the original but a £25 new one from Axminster Tools in Axminster. It is set 3mm lower than the crown of the blade. The original riving knife and guard can be refixed for normal through cuts. As to the poor clamp design that gets in the way of undertaking narrow cuts, well I'll give that some thought later.

Ahoy Captain, I appreciate the time spent on making this video…..Thanking you, as I hope to purchase a “lightly” used model locally from another maker and your review has helped. Cheers dude.

How refreshing to see someone actually giving you the conclusion in 1 min. I stayed for, and enjoyed, the whole video.

7:25 just say no to phillips in general. i gave away all of those and bought a 1000 t25 screws and 4 bits and when i still find some old screws i throw them out

This was great. I just bought one of these and can't wait to get out there and try all this out.

Matt Lillard bike shed tutorial?

I recognize the noise you made during lifting. It’s the same noise I make.

Thank you for the review and pointing of the issue with the raising system, thinking about this, isnt this a problem with other table saws ? I was considering GTS635, thinking this has some plastic, till the more expensive ones, the TS254M (not sure) and most definitively the Hikoki C10RJ has the same plastic mechanism. It comes maybe to cleaning

Thank you ,just got mine and the heads up on the dry lube ,float fluid

Nice solid garden gate, with a little help from your young supervisor , great video, take care

Thank you so much on your opinion and info on the centex

Perfect!

Looking for your input ... I see you have Linda (spelling???) completely encased with no ventilation. I take it that this is okay to do because both the inlet and outlet are outside the enclosure and the motors are cooled with just the air passing through. No further ventilation is needed then. Do I have this correct?

"where are the instructions?" Love it!!!!

About time!!! ,😂🤣😂🤣 Been looking at my very wonky gate for 10yrs (not constantly) ... Perhaps this will inspire me!!

Thanks much for this video. Had to realign my saw after both the fence and blade got out of square and had to figure out how to do it again. Previous attempts were watching dwe745 videos and trying to adapt them.

Number one in likes. yes baby, yeah...

2:01 hit a little dance

This was the best 16 minutes and 22 seconds of my life

Nice work 😎👍

Just ordered one but not home for a month as at sea. Looking forward to it
