Things I didn't know I need and does exist
I hope it helped.
@@liberatingwood it does, thanks! I found Rutlands dust extractor so gonna put in a request for one for my lab
You Donot Need A Big Dust Collector And Big Vacuum Machine As You Have It. Amén.
Thanks
nice. Also, buy a mask.
Clear video. Thank you. Remember the offcut had 4x error. Holding up a square only shows 1x error. I always use the offcut.
Thanks. And thanks for the reminder.
Outstanding shop. Your attention to detail is incredible. 10 out of 10 for the space to function ratio! Take care Chris
Thanks, Chris. I really appreciate that.
Very nice shop and super clean. Good job young man! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you very much for the kind words.
A good invention, but really it’s the worst of both worlds. It’s far too slow for a serious woodworker. It would be suitable as a tool you’d only need once in a while. But it’s far too expensive for a tool you’d only use in a while
I agree completely
How dangerous 😢, someone is going to get sawdust in there hair 😂🤪🤣 And the winner is the one who's air compressor kicks in first!!!
😂🤣
I wish my dad would do that with me 🥲
that's hilarious
I know right
ahahaha
😂
What a complicated jig, not worth the aggravation to buy it.
Agreed. May be the worst woodworking purchase I have ever made.
I have the same table saw and just switched out the stock dust port as well for the reasons you mention. I have a stub out in place for overhead dust collection and have been looking for ideas on how to execute something like what you have. I think I’ll end up investing in the shark guard.
I would love to know how your experience goes with putting a shark guard on that saw. I have thought about it so many times. I don't love what I have. It is better than nothing but I always wonder if it might be better with a shark guard. If you do end up getting one and don't mind, drop me a line and let me know how it goes: liberatingwood@gmail.com
Great job brother!
Thank you very much!
Also, I have since moved to a different shop with more space. I keep planning to do a new shop tour video.
Sweet ducting! I'm gonna look for that shop tour video. I'm curious, what's the silver box-air quick connect do-hicky, above the coiled air hose? (mounted on paper towel holder, 'pretty sneaky sis'...Connect 4)
That's part of a fixed air piping system I purchased from Amazon: amzn.to/3Wuw4OW It came with three drops. I love it. I like having compressed air for nail guns and cleaning. This keeps me from having air hoses all over the floor.
@@liberatingwood Thanks much, kit looks great and only $185 right now!
@@B.A.Bassangler That's great. I hope it works out well for you.
I was wondering how much you sold this for. I just finished a live edge 1.4 foot cedar shelf and don’t know how much to sell it for. I just started making and refurbishing wood furniture and don’t know how to price them
So the cedar was supplied to me by the client. As I recall, I charged a few hundred dollars to clean, sand, fix problems with epoxy and then finish it. Not sure how it would have been priced if I was purchasing the wood and selling it as a product. Good luck!
Based on my experience with Woodpeckers' regular miter gauge, I would never buy one. In fact I doubt I'll ever buy anything from Woodpeckers again.
Thanks for the feedback.
😕 "Promo SM"
I know. Lame, right?
That's a good idea! I think I'll get one of those articulated arms to improve the dust collection in my homemade tablesaw! 👍
That's great. I hope it works out for you.
lost the will to live watching you setting up the ply backer,
😂🤣
nice shop, the tour was cool. very in depth and well thought out systems and tools
Thank you. I have since moved to a new shop. I want to make a new tour video for the new shop.
What r u making
Good question. I'm redoing the work surface on my CNC machine. It should be done soon and I hope to make a longer video/post on my website about the whole process.
Really neat
Metal gear solid 😎
Thanks.
That is a tremendous amount of focus and work. It's a great shop and a great video!
Thanks!
Bro 10+ mins on the French cleat hanger?
🤦♂️
Firstly, I really prefer overhead dust collection on my table saw. Over the years, I’ve had none and then a boom but both just don’t work for me. I agree with all your comments on the Rockler item and so, I made my own. Very easy. Like you, I have overhead metal ducting (in my case 200mm). I made a spur which stopped just off directly above my blade and riving knife. That spur ended with a metal 8” to 4” reducer. Onto that reducer I put a shut gate and then a length of 4” flexible tube which goes to the dust hood. I made the dust hood out of 1.5” wide plywood (2 x 3/4” doubled up) just for the arc that goes over the blade and knife. I then put clear acrylic sheets on either side. Into one side, I cut a hole and screwed in a 4” flange plate onto which the flexible tube is secured. For flexibility, i made that 1.5” arc piece with a 2’ long straight piece coming from the top (a kind of T piece). I then made a square tube out of ply so that the straight of the T piece was a good fit inside it. That square tube is secured to the ceiling directly above the blade. To allow my to slide the inner part up and down (to get different heights above the blade) I put a steel insert into the square tube and a Bristol lever (or any machine screw type of handle) which I tighten or loosen according to where I want the dust hood. I’ve overcome all the issues about width of the dust hood being too much and easy visibility to see what’s happening. With a minimum of 4” hose and the port about 2” above the top of the blade, dust collection is brilliant. Wish I had as good an answer for the under table dust collection. My table saw has a port attached to a shroud surrounding the blade under the table. It is awful
Wow. Thanks for all the info on your setup. I wish I could see a picture or two. I am in a different shop space now. I still have the same basic setup as in the video but it works a little better for two reasons I think. First, is that I have a more powerful dust collector so I just get more air flow. Second, is that this shop has more space and the way that the overhead collection is arranged is just a little easier to use. I am with you. The under table collection helps but the overhead really makes the difference. I hope to make a new shop tour video later this year or early next year. Take care!
I found the perfect dust collector for a one man shop. I installed a Record CamVac 4hp/220v/triple motor vacuum with a Oneida Super Dust Deputy cyclone separator. This gives you both high volume and high pressure suction. It's a cheaper alternative to the Oneida Supercell except with much better filtering.
Wow. That's great. I had not heard of those before. That's for the info.
I was busy this morning and couldn’t watch the video in its entirety so you may have covered this. But, are you also using the bottom dust port of your saw? What HP is your dust collector? Thx
Yes. I am using the bottom port, as well. When I made that video, I was in my basement shop and using a 1.5 hp V-system from Oneida. I have since moved to a bigger shop and have upgraded to a larger dust collector from Clear Vue but I am still essentially running the same set up at the table saw.
$640? I am making a jig that will do both end and edge mortises I have about $30 in material. I guarantee it will just as accurate and set up nearly as simple and quick
Yeah. I think I have said it in other comments. This one goes down as one of my worst purchases. It was less than $640 when I bought it a few years ago but still not worth it. It is just a fancy wall decoration at this point. I hope your jig is working out well for you.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks. I put one together yesterday, and see I made a mistake that you showed how to do correctly.
Wow. Thanks for the comment. It's good to know that my video helped.
I don't get why ppl waste so much money on these tools. How much is one of these anyways? It's probably 500 quid or something like that. Woodpeckers are too expensive for what ur getting. U will never get a perfect 90/45 or whatever angles ur looking for. Ur working with a product in wood that will never be perfectly square. U can get within certain tolerances. These clowns selling these super expensive tools for saws, etc tell u it's a perfect 90 yet look at the trouble u went through and u could not get it perfectly square and this is their whole selling point. It's all nonsense and they know it yet they seem to still get ppl to buy into it. Look u earned ur own money so u have the right to spend it on whatever u like. That's not my business but I think it's hilarious that u had to buckle ur head by going through all this crap and u still didn't get the so called "Perfect" 90 or "Exact" 90. It's not what they sell it as. 330 dollars for that product. I don't get how ppl keep being duped by all these expensive products but u have it bro. Like I said It's ur money ur spending. It's not possible unless u get some kind of computer system working ur mitre cuts and 90 degrees like a CNC machine of some sort. I think woodworkers are being hoodwinked by all these companies. How many types of tools have u all bought over the years for the perfect straight cuts, 90's 45's, etc, etc, etc.. STOP LISTENING TO THESE FOOLS AT THESE BIG COMPANIES.. I get more and more wound up every time I see one of these videos from Woodpeckers or Incra or any of these systems that ae being sold today. I could say I'm turning into my father more and more but that's not a bad thing. My father was a smart man. He wasn't taken in by these companies claiming perfection. Sorry man but the video from woodpeckers that lead me to this from yourself wound me up no end. It's nothing to do with ur video man. Take care mate..
Thanks for you feedback.
I have a Harvey cabinet saw with the Shark overhead Guard. The saw has the same dust port as you demonstrated containing a port for the overhead dust collection. I agree it is restricting the dust flow capacity. Question for you, is there any difference if I use the 4" ABS Universal Dust Collection Port that is slanted as you installed verses a straight 4'' Universal Dust Port from Rockler? Also when you installed the two dust ports did you have to drill new holes into your cabinet to fit the new dust ports? My goal is to improve the overall dust collection in my table saw which is currently terrible to my standards. Good video and thanks for sharing.
So I can't say anything definitively about comparing the two different types of ports. I haven't tried the port you indicated nor have I done any sort of comparison. However, I think that the two would be comparable since they are both 4" ports. I do believe that I had to drill new holes. I had also already done a good bit of Dremel work to widen the opening in the cabinet. I would say that my current table saw dust collection is adequate but not ideal. I would like to upgrade to the Shark Guard, but I may change out my table saw in the not too distant future so I don't want to spend money on a guard for that specific saw. Good luck.
607.99? for that money u should think bout buying a Festool domino
Yeah. When I bought it, it didn't cost me that much but it was still a lot. There are plenty of tools that I regret buying over the years and that one tops the list. I will probably end up with a Festool domino sometime in the next year.
@@liberatingwood i think bout buying one , but i m at the start on woodworking and non professional. But i think i should buy one before i complete my projects🫣
Did your Exact 90 not arrive perfectly square? WP claims that the gauge is meticulously adjusted square at the factory, and that they typically should not need user adjustment. Obviously, they do provide for calibration. Just curious, as I’m getting ready to buy one.
I'd say it was pretty accurate out of the box. My first test for square showed that it was out by 0.0008" per inch. That seems pretty good to me. I messed with it a few times to see if I could improve on that but to answer your question, it was "square" when I received it. I put that in quotes because in my experience, if you are able to measure to a sufficient level of precision, you'll discover that nothing is truly square. Or to put it another way, square is relative to what you are working on and for most any job that I would be working on, it was square enough on arrival. Hope that helps.
nice lay out, small space maximum use...
Thank you.
cant have a drop, and dont want a trip hazard? Time to rent a quick cut concrete saw and make the dust collection go under the floor! lol maybe thats too extra
Good luck. Hope it all works out well.
Really liked the info on the minisplit. The one I got (havent installed yet) is oversized quite a bit for my space, so I will probably need a similar system.
I'm glad to hear that was useful. The little dehumidifier made a huge difference in the felt performance of the minisplit. I am a big believer in relative humidity being just as important, if not more, than the temp.
Good video, I wish they would have put given some directIons on how to put everything in the holder. e.g. like how are we to intuit that you need to attach both extension arms to the flags in order to put them in the rack-it. I got this recently and though I am not disappointed yet, I am questioning on how woodpeckers gets it's reputation. But seeing your video I can see how the entire thing actually works. Though I did not spend all that much time trying to figure it out yesterday. I basically mounted everything, put the pieces I could place in and decided to look up how this thing is supposed to work. Anyway thank you your video was really helpful.
Hey. Thanks for the comment. I'm glad my video helped. I haven't given up on the thing. Heck, it cost a lot of money so I want to make it work, however, the times I have tried to use it, I have run into limitations. I freely admit that it might be my lack of understanding and the fault of the jig. But if I spend a bunch of time just trying to figure out how to get the jig to make the mortises I need, then I am not sure it is really helping. The kinds of problems I have had are related to getting things to reference correctly so that the mortises are aligned properly to get a proper fit. The last time I tried to use it was for a face frame of a cabinet on a piece of furniture (this is the project for reference if your interested liberatingwood.com/projects/corner-hutch/). For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to set up the morty in a way that would give me the precision and consistency I needed. The problem was that a lot of the stuff required the exact same mortises to be cut and mirrored. But I would need to change the set up between cuts. In my experience, there was no way I was going to get the consistency I needed if I needed to keep changing the set up. I ended up just making standard mortise and tenons. Anyway, keep in touch and let me know how it works for you.
Awesome shop! You don’t happen to have a model number for your led lights do you? I see you mentioned they were high CRI and you purchased them from Home Depot?
Thanks. I think it was this one: www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-4-ft-5200-Lumens-LED-Wraparound-Light-Garage-Light-Shop-Light-Office-Warehouse-Lighting-120-277v-4000K-Bright-White-54677641/207050927 There should also be a 2' version. I used a combination of the two sizes. My purchase history doesn't go back far enough for me to confirm this but this looks right. The Specifications section on the site says that the CRI is 90. Hope this helps.
could the vertical steels be replaced with a horizontal one obviously not cheap even if it was an option
I thought about it and looked into it a little bit. Lots of work and lots of money so didn't pursue it.
Now that is a nice treehouse.
Thanks.
How does Woodpecker get away with charging $439 for this jig?
Not sure. I wish I had not bought it. Money wasted. Lesson learned.
Phenomenal shop! Incredibly thoughtful layout and really great ideas throughout!
Wow! Thanks for the great comment.
Nice shop and Geaux Tigers!
Geaux Tigers!
Great video! Thanks for helping me think through this problem/solution. Out of curiosity, would you consider selling your extra arm (the one you said is in your attic)?
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to hear that you found it helpful. Sorry but I'm not really interested in selling the other arm. I plan to use it in the future.
HELLO THERE, MY FRIEND THAT A GREAT SHOP YOU HAVE THERE. REALY NICE.I HAVE THE SAME DRILL PRESS TOP YOU HAVE ON ONE OF MY DRILL PRESSES.AND I LOVE IT. THANK YOU BUDDY FROM DOUG.AKA #821 LOL
Thanks, Doug!
Great looking shop. Is that Pex plumbing pipe you are using for your air compressor
No. It isn't PEX. It's this kit I purchased from Amazon. amzn.to/3JpngVv One of the best additions to my shop. Much better than dragging a hose around. I use the air more since it is more convenient.
Very nice work! I think a solution for your dust collection piping to your table saw is to create a trench for the piping.
Thanks, John. I am actually working on moving my shop into a new space. So I should be adding content about that process followed by a whole new shop tour for the new shop.
My shop uses most of my basement and i love being in it especially in winter but I really envy the walk out feature of yours
The walkout feature is definitely nice. I wish mine took up more of my basement. Could definitely use the space.
