  • @tlum4081

    I realize the video maker doesn't have the original (Craftsman/Emerson) fence but it is very much maligned as being useless. The problem is: *** OPERATOR ERROR! ***. You have use it like an old fashioned drafting "T Square" by pressing the head against the front rails BEFORE you tighten the back rail clamping screw. It is always parallel to the miter slots for perfect cuts. A tip for those with the original fence is to apply a little silicone lube to the front rail and head. Don't spray it around the saw itself but away from it on to a cotton "Q Tip" or a small piece of tissue while wearing disposable gloves. Then apply the silicone lube and let the solvent carrier dry. It'll slide like it's on ball bearings. A Craftsman (pun intended) never blames his tool.

    Quick explanation of a torsion box: It converts bending into compression. For the top face to bend, the bottom face needs to compress. Wood can bend, but not compress

  • @eitantal726
    @eitantal726 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    is it important that the rungs run the short-way instead of the long-way? or is that just a coincidence?

    • @MurphysCreations
      @MurphysCreations 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      From my research, short ways is all that necessary in this application. I've seen much larger torsion boxes where they run both ways. In this application, the sled is so narrow, having a spine run down the middle won't really do anything. If you used thinner plywood for the skins, maybe it would make sense.

    @pandaStealth 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have made a sled like yours, but put the "stop block" on the end in to the planer FIRST. I tried putting it in last like you suggested, but my planer wheels (not the cutter) grabbed the top board and slid it forward off of the sled. So at least in my experience, your planer wheels manage keeping the board from coming back at you, just like they do with any piece of wood you put in there; and the stop block keeps the sled and board from moving independently.

    I'm on my second Craftsman belt sander for the sole reason that I like the pointed end, giving it a longer flat basis than the others - and that the handle is so positioned as to give it a low center of gravity, The very negative side is that the bearing underneath the pulley begins to heat up at only slight use, seize up and rotate inside the plastic assembly piece. Repair is near-impossible unless you have saved all unaffected parts from your previous Craftsman belt sander which died the same way. Even than - you must manufacture special servicing tools to effectively hold still some moving parts to prevent them from turning during disassembly and assembly. As an engineer - I find this "Beyond Economical Repair" ethos difficult to swallow, so out of expedience, I buy another one for $75 or more.

    Thanks for the video and free plans. I will be trying to make my first one tommorrow. One thingI would to point out is that you shouldn't sand the interior of the house. The fledgings need a rougher surface to cling to when trying to emerge from the house. When very young their nails do not grip very well and they will just slide down to the bottom . They aren't able to develop necessary strength for their wings and legs.

(I cannot come up with a reason to use a rectangle) Very little change in the fence itself, either, including the piece of sheet metal and "square" adjusters. 2-great minds agree. ,,,,, Now all I have to do is to take the tie to actually build mine!

    Makes me wonder how thin you can build a torsion box before it stops working. There is probably a ratio of the thickness to the space between the cross members that needs to be followed to maintain stiffness and flatness.

    • @MurphysCreations
      @MurphysCreations 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I did a lot of reading up on torsion boxes before making this one, and the consensus seems to be that the thinner the skins, the closer the interior supports should be spaced. If you were to use 1/4" plywood for the interior supports and the skins, I'm sure it could be problematic. That would be an interesting video to make, testing torsion boxes to see at what point they no longer work.

    Keep an eye out for deformation caused by welds. The way that cross piece bowed up is a pretty classic example. When the welds contracted, they pulled the "wings" upward into dihedral. It's a good idea when you're welding something that requires some dimensional accuracy to: 1) fixture everything so it can't deform as much as it cools 2) severely limit the amount of welded area to only what's necessary for strength (those first welds could have supported several thousand pounds. Good job btw :-) ) 3) Limit welds to areas where deformation won't critically affect the sensitive dimension (a single bead on front and back of that angle, parallel to the table) 4) Brazing is also a great option instead of welding, but the tools and fuels are expensive (and it's waaaaaay dirtier than flux core ever dreamed of being) You got yerself a sub, bud. Promise me you won't get bougie when the money starts rolling in. My Bauer tools are every bit as good as my Bosch and my Dewalt stuff. I wanna see a 1M sub maker using the same tools as normal people!

    • @MurphysCreations
      @MurphysCreations 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate them. If by bougie you mean festool and such, I have no intention to use that brand! The only way I could justify such a price tag is if they offered a tool that would significantly speed up a process and no one else had an equivalent tool. But even then, if there was a good way to do it without their tool using a different process, I would choose that first. I understand the reasoning people use for getting festool and they certainly do offer some really cool tools, but I don't like how they charge through the roof, for tools that aren't any better than much cheaper options. Paying for the brand if you ask me, which I don't support.
