@johnbies7041 Thanks for your comment. The plans I acquired are for sale since the owner passed in 2020. I also have the two router bits I used for the Hal Taylor leg joints for sale. I don't plan on building another chair - however I highly recommend it if you are motivated - it's a piece of work! Email me at james.vanderschaaf@gmail.com or call at (207) 318 6390 Thanks.

@jslav-jj2xq. Thanks for your comment. I used a dado since they could be a bit of weight in contents in the chest. Do you use the new dovetail method?

Thanks Alex. Happy you like it

@Pownal. Thanks for your comment. It was enjoyable and David certainly deserves the recognition.

@michaelhetzel991. Thanks! It was a pleasure.

@fabiomerlin8820. Thanks for your comment. We will be showing more shops, so please stay tuned

@larrylouis8528 Thanks for your comment. You clearly have some experience with woodworking and I appreciate your feedback.

@@jamesrvs You are welcome

Hi @spambox1894 Thanks for your great comment! This is what I hoped for (but you never know). Good suggestions and thoughts about future (or mayby repeat with different approach) videos. We plan to have a wide variety of shops with very educational topics and definitely want to make them relatable.

@luket4678 Thanks for you comment! Will fix the end empty recording. Yes, David's shop is truly amazing. It's difficult but fun to create how best to show it in a video. I may come back later and look at some specific process flows. Again, thanks for your response

@JFPSolar. Thanks for your comment. I had tried to heat temper a piece of bar stock, but that didn't work. I think the metallurgy wasn't right, but I never found time to properly investigate. I like your idea about the carbide saw blade. Anything hardened like that will work. I want to just put a wooden handle on my sawsall blade - time will tell!

@@jamesrvs I recall that saw blade steel is very strong and certainly keeps an edge better than mild steel. However, I decided to make a parting tool that uses a carbide tooth. It cuts really well, and it's carbide so I'm sure it will last quite a while. Just uploaded a quick (pathetic) video on it. Best of luck with yours!

Hi @Vrsetter Thanks for your comment. Yes, I did. I created the second base and made it round by turning it. Then with the centering holes, glue it to the bottom. There is an alternate method to accomplish this, namely use a Forstner bit to cut a circle into the base. I didn't do so since I did not have Forstner bits of the right size.

Great idea! I’ll try the Forster approach. Really appreciate the fast response. Really nice product!

@vrsetter please subscribe and ring the bell. I would appreciate it!

@bruceyoung1343 Yes you could adapt. I designed the system for adaptability. Please go to: www.downeastwoodart.com/available-project-plans/dusty-table-saw-dust-collector Thanks!

@waynetrojan. Thanks for your comment. Have you tried this method to make the hidden hinge? I have used your method and found it works initially, but over time the small hole gets bigger and out of alignment with usage. Hence I switched to the metal hole cutting method.

@tutzking3318. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your thoughts!

@DebraJoyW I will keep your request in mind. Quite busy now with other projects

@DebraJoyW. Thanks for your comment. Yes, dipping and spreading it on does work on narrow pieces. Sometimes I use a flat piece of wood to stress it smoothly on wider pieces

@ferencgyulafia9951. Thanks for your question. Just a suggestion: When you type in all caps it means you are yelling at someone. So please don't do it! The answer to your question can be found at: robcosman.com/collections/woodhinge/products/rob-cosmans-wood-hinge-individual-jigs-3-8-inch

@marks. Thanks for your thanks!

@fododude. Lol Thanks for your comment. I built that years ago when that finish was popular in certain quarters. I would not do it that way today. But remember finish is very subjective. Some folks like a glossy look - that does not make them bad people!

@josvanhoof Thanks for your comment and question! Are you living in Holland? I'm always interested in connecting to people who share my Dutch heritage. Here's what you do (for boards 3/4" thick): Make your board 10 1/2" (26.7 cm) x 10 1/2" (26.7 cm). Make the jig with the pin hole a radius distance away from the band saw blade when the board in mounted (this is so much easier to see visually). Cut the circle (diameter 9.5" (24.1 cm) on the board with the board flat (cut is at 90 degrees). Your next several cuts will be at 45 degrees. Drill 4 holes in the jig (each 3/4" (1.9 cm) from the centered hole, then move 3/4" from the last hole and drill hole, then move 3/4" from the last hole and drill hole, then.....). Tilt the table to 45 degrees and mount the board in the closet to center hole and cut a circle. Move to the next hole, cut a circle, ........ until done. Let me know if this is clear and understood? Adjust for different thickness boards - I could create a formula for this but have not so far.

Hi James, yes I am living in the Netherlands in Weert in de provincie Limburg. Thank you for your help. I will give this a try and let you know how it worked out.

Hi James, Sorry for the late response. Last week I received my bandsaw and i am setting it up now. Oce I get all setup I will make the board with the pvot holes and try it out. I will keep you informed. Next week I have to go to the hosputal for an operation n y back so i will bee out of my wood shed for a coupke of weeks.

@@josvanhoof7616 Take it easy with back operations - I hope you have a great surgeon! Love to see what you come up with for your project - please send pictures!

@@jamesrvsThank you James. I will take my time.

@user-hx2zi8xd2v. Thanks for your comment! I've gotten a number of comments on this wood hinge (it's a clever mechanism). Check out Rob Cosman's tools at : robcosman.com/collections/woodhinge/products/rob-cosmans-wood-hinge-individual-jigs-3-8-inch. Tell him Jim Vander Schaaf sent you if you buy one!

@jamesrvs Oh very thank you. I'm in korea. I will buy!!! Good day~~

@jd2150. Yes it does if you choose straight grained wood, which doesn't change the diameter, but reduces tearouts. Thanks for asking!

@dougk5456 Yes, prices never seem to go down!

@SilverBack. Thanks for your comment!

@mikerafferty1437 Thanks Mike. I believe revealing errors is fundamental to learning. Covering them up when we all make them is just subterfuge. My struggle remains with being more entertaining. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment and subscription. I made a detailed set of plans with several instructional videos for a modest price if you are interested. You can find them at: www.downeastwoodart.com/available-project-plans/dusty-table-saw-dust-collector

@@jamesrvs James when i go to the plan section i see some nice enlarged photos. My question is it looks like your using 4 layers of plywood so looks wider than your plans. Was this a first version of picture? Just curious. Also is your saw a 10 inch saw ? I have access to a lot of 2-1/2 by 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 wood. I am ripping these boards to about 2 x 1- 1/4 then gluing both together. Have access to lots of this wood . I am trying to decide of this plan should be thinner or as wider. Welcome to any advice in this manner

@@richardhinderer2057 Yes, I used 4 pieces of 1/2" plywood so that the 1 1/4" hole for the dust collector hose would have sufficient support (first version was not as thick). Yes 10" table saw blade Send me pics when you finish! Enjoy!

@@jamesrvs Thanks i will

@@jamesrvs Good morning or should i say good evening James. I dont sleep well and went down to my basement workshop looking at the collector head i made so far. I am ot happy with it and not happy with using old plywood. So back to the drawing boards and starting over. Be patient with me as i truly want you to see what i have made when it is done. I can salvage the plastic and screws but throwing the rest away. Starting with laminated 3/4 inch lumber i am glowing us. I am a perfectionist so sometimes i just don't see my flaws until a project is started. So i promise i will send the finish project in pictures. Maybe a week or so until i have got it done or so i can show pictures. Thank you again you have peaked my thinking cap again. Richard H

@dietlindvanderschaaf3964 Thanks for your comment! You may be too right. 😢

Yes indeed. Made from plans and I'm happy to report it cuts thru an 8 inch log quite easily. I've also fine tuned it to cut thin veneers.

Hi @cameronschmelitschek9485 Yes, it would be easy to to directly to the studs, but in my clients case, their were metal studs, and, I didn't want to use threaded rod and a tap and die set to create a female thread thru the metal stud. I much prefer handing off the wall with toggle bolts spaced at unequal increments to the stud spacing. Yes, the width of the board directly on the wal was set at 2 inches and then I had connecting boads of 5 inches and 7 inches. Thanks for your comment! Jim

hanging off the wall

Thanks so much for your detailed and interesting reply. We have a lot in common and I appreciate your taking the time to share your experiences.

Tom York Hi Tom and thanks for your comment. You are correct, it was dangerous. Since I made this video, I have become much more carefful. The close proximity can disappear in a mini-second if the dowel is grabbed.

@@jamesrvs Good, good, good. I am sure you can make a jig that can hold the piece while you're rounding it on the table.

George O'Kane. Than you. I appreciate your feedback. Do you have a DeWalt Table Saw?

Paolo Accomando, Thanks for you comment. I understand your concern and have given this some thought. My dust collector is easily removable, and hence I know where the blade is relative to the collector, and, I can easily see it. My collector is made of plexiglass and one can easily see the blade. Once I started using it, my concerns disappeared. Check out the plans I've made: www.downeastwoodart.com/available-project-plans/dusty-table-saw-dust-collector

Hi toby's sawdust, Thanks for your question. I used 3/4" spacing for the angled cuts on the band saw. This works fine for 3/4" or 13/16" thick boards. Hope this helps? I can also give advice if your boards are a different thickness or the band saw is set at other than 45 degrees.

@@jamesrvs thank you and i hope your friend is doing ok

@@jamesrvsit😢

Hi Jane,. Happy to hear you're into woodworking. It's a wonderful activity. Send along some pics of what youve made.

Hi Dan, I sent you a reply from my Facebook DownEastWoodArt page. Yes, please send pics, would love to see what you've done. Jim

Hey Dan, How's your woodworking going. Love to hear what you're doing. Please ask any questions if you have them. I just got started in using a lathe and am enjoying it. I chose not to spend big bucks and so far I'm happy with what I bought.

Edgar Perez. Thanks and thanks for sharing your comment!

Hi Gary Allen, Yes you can. I'm in the process of making a project plan that I would sell for the whole tablesaw dust collection system. Plus I have some new improvements that I haven't yet videoed. I would sell this for a modest $10. If your are interested, let me know?

@@jamesrvs Yes, I am interested. Would love to buy the project plan. Thank you - Gary

Hi Gary, I've put together a complete detailed plan (written plan with graphics, 1 hour of video (how to build, usage suggestions, testing, etc.) and SketchUp files. All is available for a modest price at: www.downeastwoodart.com/available-project-plans/dusty-table-saw-dust-collector

Hi gA. Thanks for your comment! I believe I got the ball peen hammer from True Value, but it's been a long time ago. You can probably find one on Amazon or your local hardware store.
