Staining desk
This is just a clip from a video I am making. I am refinishing a teachers desk from the 60s (or there abouts). Desks like this were very common in classrooms then. This has been left outside and was in very poor shape. I am doing a complete video, that will be finished at a later time.

Boat Build 23
มุมมอง 62ปีที่แล้ว
Working on the foredeck, cabinets, wiring and starting on the cabin.
I prefer pay raise to medullary rays.
Hey Dave! Big brother here. I see you are keeping busy!
Amazing, great attention to detail!
Thank you, sir.
Well done!
Nice work!!!!! I would have went with "Red Oktober" for the boat name though.
Well, Red October was a submarine. I hope to keep this above the surface. But thank you for your kind words.
@@daveengstrom9250 Lol
Looking good Dave
no volume in the first half. Also go read a book on wood working 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dude has no clue.
Give (cut) the top part of the press half inch more gap so you won't need the clamps to force it down. 1:21 make that contraption 2" inches higher so you can roll the glass tape underneath freely.
Awesome work dude!! God Bless
That's quite a "Work of Heart" you've built, Dave. We enjoy watching your videos.
Any benefit to doing 6 applications rather than 3?
No, I don't think so. After the wood fibers are saturated and hardened, any more material just makes the hole smaller. The holes were drilled the exact size as the bolts that will be installed.
@@daveengstrom9250 I thought that might be the case
Good work Iggy
The thong underwear was a nice touch.
Dave, your work on this boat never ceases to amaze me. You are so good at learning and doing so many things!
The best cookies are ho made.
Found it. Thanks
part 3? would be great to see.
That extra hand is a "handy" gadget!
I am amazed at all the tasks that go into constructing your boat. You do great work, Dave!
Its not a good idea to use that string threre, just use the same tape than on the middle. That string makes weak spots where it can break at some point.
I tried that. It takes 3 hands. I have only 2.
was going to ask a stupid question of is it going to be a sail boat or a motor boat then realized sail boats dont need fuel tanks haha keep up the good work i love following the build
Well, this is a fishing boat, but sailboats DO have fuel tanks, except for the really small ones. Manuvering through marinas and near docks sometimes requires more control than sales may provide. Most have an engine of some kind.
Those knee pads are sublime. How much were they?
Those are ToughBuilt - Gelfit Thigh Support Stabilization Knee Pads. $53 on Amazon. I have had 4 knee surgeries and kneeling is a big deal for me. They are worth every penny.
@@daveengstrom9250 That price is good! I've paid almost the same for less substantial ones.
You need an intelligent drone to do your camera work.
Great job! Enjoyed seeing your boat-building progress. Exciting times on Lone Pine Road.
i love that router jig! youre such an engineer
I did not invent that horizontal router. I did make it from plans I bought from a guy in Canada.
heavens that music!!
if only it wasn't for that ghastly music
Country isn't for everyone. There is only 1 radio station where I live up in the mountains.
I was told it would have smoke stacks.
Good Job
Brilliant 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
When life rolls you a live grenade, nuke it.
Oh hell
Get to it Dexter!!
Where did you find all the help? ...and how much beer did you have to pay them with?
Those were my neighbors. A great bunch of folks.
Dave, im sorry if i missed it in earlier video, but is this your own design? or did you purchase? and just a comment for video #1. Wish I had a neighbor like Mike :) LOL
I hired Devlin Boatbuilders to draw the plans to my specifications. He supplied me with a digital plan (CNC stuff). I am most used to the old kind of plans drawn on paper, but I was able to make it work.
Dave, I stumbled on to your channel and thank you much for the content! I dream of building my own boat someday and I really appreciate guys like you journaling your effort! Its a big help! Keep up the great work!
Thank you. I have some very basic camera equipment and it will not accept an external microphone so sound quality is not the best. I do what I can. Its a fun project. Thank you for the kind words.
that wire idea is genius definitely starting to look like a boat
I did not come up with that idea. Its called "Stitch and glue".
@@daveengstrom9250 welp im gonna tell everyone I learned it from you
Good afternoon, kolega, there is an easier option, use plastic ties at the bending points.
I suppose one could use anything to hold the laminations in place until the press is assembled. Once the press is fully assembled, I would remove the ties or string (in my case) as it can sometimes leave permanent marks in the finished product. Good luck with your build.
Good video Dave. I see that recurves have extra challenges that I don't encounter when I build longbows. I have two suggestions. The first bows I built delaminated slightly during the first few hundred arrows. The delam wasn't fatal but it looked bad because it occurred between the glass and the first wood layer. I don't know the cause for sure but I suspect that I had thin or dry spots in the epoxy layer. I started using a toothed spreader to make sure there was always plenty of epoxy. The toothed spreader is a simple putty knife, modified using a triangular file to make notches on the end of the blade, nothing fancy. Also I began using a lamp positioned 4-6 inches above the table top, at one end of the lamination that was getting epoxy spread onto it. A last step after spreading epoxy on the lam is to position myself at the end of the lam, at the end opposite from the lamp, with my eyes almost at the level of the lamination surface, to look along the entire lamination searching for dry spots. The low-angle light makes dry spots easily visible. After making these changes, I didn't experience any more delaminations. Thanks for the video.
You did everything right!
Can you maybe get to the Dr. before making any more videos? Your coughing and hacking is disgusting.
Grt work need full video sir till ending
I'm getting ready to make my first bow. Your video is the best I've seen yet for showing how to not screw it up. Thank you.
Good for you. One thing I would add is that after you assemble your pieces, remove the string before you cinch it down if you can. The string can sometimes leave marks. It helps to have a a second pair of hands.
@@daveengstrom9250 Thanks, I'd wondered about that. My biggest issue now is deciding what kind of bow to build.
Thank you for sharing this information. I am a Bowyer and I appreciate seeing other techniques and ideas that will make the process of laminating more efficient and easier for one person to accomplish. Yes the string will leave marks so best to remove before final press. I have used string in a crosshatch as a design that came out interesting but not good enough to make a difference. Would love to see the finish product or another video of the finish process. Well done sir!!
It looks real comfy. You are a real craftsman, Dave!
Beautiful work you do, You are a real artist, I find your side by accident, working with wood must be a real satisfaction!! Are you teaching any classes?? I was impressed , to see how you work your tools!! and your place of work is so organized.. Thank you Have a blessed day!!
Thanks for the kind words. No, I do not teach classes. I am not that good.
@@daveengstrom9250 On the contrary I believe you have a lot to teach. We are in Los Angeles, Where is your city??
