Well early on in the video I cut a flat section on the bandsaw and, although I didn't show it in the video I used my Rikon belt/disc sander to completely smooth it flat

Thanks for all the tips. I have never used a primer before epoxy before. I recently revisited this bowl and it is showing no signs of degradation yet.

@@TherapyWoodWorks that's great. This year I was going make a few bowls for warm and wet food, finished with clear primer and epoxy. Previous years I have used zinser spray Shellac, but those are for dry decorative use.

@withoutdoors5230 I was very excited about your message so I immediately ran out to my shop to see if I missed anything. There is not a cover that is included to go with the dust extractor. However there is one for the leveler, which I was using and it did work well. I referd to the manual and there again is ni indication of any plate for the dust extractor. If you found some other information could you send it to me please?

@@TherapyWoodWorks yea sure! I’ll have a look, I saw it in one of their videos. Although I’m doubting myself now!

That would probably work well too as long as you could get the speed up to remove the material. give it a try and let me know

@@TherapyWoodWorks I tried it out and it wasn't very effective - probably the RPM of the drill was too low. Perhaps a bad question, but how did you attach the wire wheel to the variable speed polisher? I've never used one, so I'm not familiar with the attachment mechanism, but I thought that they worked like a sander, i.e., with hook-and-loop attachments. Thanks!

@d.h.8202 I will send pictures when I get out to the shop but in the mean time you can purchase wire wheels with the center threads designed to thread onto a variable speed grinder/ polisher

interesting, you should make a video !!!

I am glad you can have the positive capacity to overcome !!!

Nope, no genius here, just a humble man making his way through life. thanks for the ego boost though

@@TherapyWoodWorks ...lol! High 5!

Thank you sir

Thanks pal

Thank you very much

Well thank you sir

Thanks for the tip, I have recently resurfaced my bench top again for the second time after applying a Varathane coating and I appreciated being able to sand the surface to remove some imperfections.

Thanks for the comments. I do mention the dust extraction somewhat at 3:45 and at 10:00 minute marks. It does work for the chips that hit the bin, which is maybe less than half but the great part is the dust from sanding gets totally removed which is a big plus. I do call this a successful system. I have been on a sizable renovation for the past 2 years and have not had much chance to use the lathe.

Oops sorry that was 5:45 not 3:45. Fat fingers on small keyboard

Actually it does not interfere at all. Narrow enough profile to not even be noticeable. Also my lathe is too close to the wall to mount off the back

thanks pal

That was an Amazon purchase : www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07M91LQVX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

this blade was a 3/16

The total length of the lifter leg is 31 inches, my table height is 34 inches. If you are going to lift a 48 inch piece of plywood remember you have to keep the leg at least over 24 inches to maintain balance. Thanks for your interest.

@@TherapyWoodWorks thank you for your reply

Thank you for the comment, as an update after a year I have had no issues with the doors other than some wood movement required me to install slightly thicker weather stripping. Thank you for the subscription, as of last Saturday I am officially retired and hope to increase my skills as content creator so you may see some difference in my videos.

Thank you kindly

Thanks for the comments and ideas. I will do some further looking into the end grain gluing, like you say it would be seldom used but would be good to understand if it could be used.

@@TherapyWoodWorks best practice would be to take some wood glue and water it down a bit. Put on the end grain and let it soak in. Wait about 20 minutes then apply as normal. Works pretty well

Thank you sir, been a little slow on the video production lately, had so many post renovation projects to complete.

I use a 2 part epoxy. It is usually readily available at hardware or hobby stores, no need to order from amazon unless you are in a very small town without previously mentioned types of store. Seek and you will find... go ask for it and I bet someone local will point you in the right direction.

funny you mention this, shortly after your video I bought such a cabinet with built in gloves, lighting and dust extraction ports. The lady used it for soap stone carving, It works awesome !

I use a 3M 6800 series full face respirator... www.amazon.ca/Facepiece-Reusable-Respirator-6800-medium/dp/B007JZ1LG6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2E3FXR9S1MRS&keywords=3m+full+face+respirator&qid=1691767315&sprefix=3m+full+face+respirato%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

Actually the lower hose does not interfere at all. moving the tray doesn't affect how well the unit extracts dust as most of the dust is actually extracted by the upper hose, the lower section takes care of most of the heavier chips. If I had to do it again I probably would have made the tray about 10 cm wider to better catch the flying chips, but I don't mind a little sweeping as long as the dust is controlled. I have plans to do a "follow up video " on many of the different things I built, just got to get around to it !!!!

Thanks for watching, much appreciated

Well I always say there is no ONE way to achieve a goal, there can be MANY ways. My personal thought on the forstner bit would be that I don't see it being much faster as the Turbo plane is pretty darn fast at hacking out wood. you will still create a pile of chips and shavings, they will just be around your drill press and not flung all over. When I carve I wear full PPE which takes some time to get dressed up in so I may as well carve away the entire projected while I wear my gear. You could check out my burl bowl carving video if you have not already to see what I mean about PPE th-cam.com/video/UTL9mQQTz88/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!

haha, good point of view

Hi Janet, Thank you for watching. I use the Rikon 14 inch bandsaw from Lee Valley. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/power-tools/saws/band-saw/75265-rikon-14-inch-deluxe-bandsaw-model-10-326?item=03J7370 . You can see most of the tools that I use in my shop tour video: th-cam.com/video/EynLQRIEEsg/w-d-xo.html I have to admit the bandsaw in general is one of my most hated power tools, I have wasted too much time trying to resaw material that will only work with the most sharp and perfect blade on this tool.
