วีดีโอ

I’ve been trying to get around to making a video explaining my lack of content. The quick answer is I’m going back to school and need a few years to dedicate towards that, so unfortunately, woodworking is on the back burner

Hey, thanks for the reply. Best of luck with returning to school, and thanks for everything you've shown us on the channel so far.

Either sunlight or that Husky flood light. I’ve got a couple high lumen lights from Home Depot plugged into the over head outlet but they really don’t do much

@lonestarwoodworking3810 same. I'm trying to get some climate control in my shop butbthst means the garage door would need to remain closed so I'd need better lighting. Do much to do. Lol

I’ve thought about putting in a mini split but then I run into the fact that I usually cut long pieces and really need the room I have behind me, out of the garage

Thank you!

I’ll have to look that up

Yep, there was about 1/16th of a gap all around

​@@lonestarwoodworking3810 I saw later the process of the frame making, so I knew then that I should've waited until the end of the video before commenting. Very nice result sir, keep up the good work.

@@Hichamhasan all good and thank you!

Definitely a bucket list project. Looks great. I looked into building an exterior door and found information that said you should build a core from strips of wood cut so the radial direction is aligned across the thickness of the door. The show wood is then glued to the core. The argument was that board glued up “normally” would expand and contract too much causing the door to stick or be too loose. I would love to hear how the door performed through Galveston weather. Could put the project back on my list if I could follow your approach.

@@christophergallagher8120 I’ll follow up with them around February and see how it’s held up

I really don’t hate these colored pours they’re just kinda risky in this heat

@@lonestarwoodworking3810 I feel ya. I'm just up the road from you in Austin. Whenever I pour I have a spare room in my house that I use

I did not hang it, I’m not quite the carpenter, and yeah I don’t see any reason it couldn’t be used on indoor projects

😂😂😂 I was just being lazy and didn’t want to edit the door video. It was something like 12 full hours of video to comb through and while I was putting that off, I did that coffee table

You got this!

@@lonestarwoodworking3810 scared 🤣

Nah no need to be scared of it. Just mix little bits at a time and pour shallow

I appreciate the advice

Thank you!

Go for it!

The dust collection gets a solid 90% of it, but I appreciate the concern

I actually don’t like it that much either. Was just one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time but I hate the typical “river” style

@@lonestarwoodworking3810 well, for not liking it, you certainly nailed the assignment. Fantastic work. You're very talented. You didn't need me to tell you that, but I'm telling you anyway.

@@winkletsdad and I appreciate it all the same

Thanks for the feedback!

That’s awesome to know! I appreciate you for following along

Yall must really like what I have to say or hate the sound of tools 😂😂 either way I appreciate the feedback and won’t be doing any more no talking videos

Gotcha, thank you for the feedback

Nah nothing I make is that way. I build stuff that I (hope) is affordable and looks good with a space

😂 noted

The thing is I did get it right with the poplar rootball table top. That finish was damn perfect. But this time it just wasn’t happening for me

That seems to be the general consensus, which is flattering. So from now on it’ll be all narration

Depending on how many layers you did, I would build up a few more, sand off the high spots and then use Rubio. And yes it did solve the issue as Rubio doesn’t tack up for quite some time

I totally appreciate the feedback! I like watching both styles with narration and shop sounds, just getting a feel for how I should proceed. Guess if it’s an uneventful project I either don’t film it or I improv the hell out of it

@lonestarwoodworking3810 hell maybe do both. I've seen a few guys with a separate channel. They just upload the video without a voice-over and the other with voice-over. Either way it's quality content. I tip my hat to you for making this content for people to enjoy.

I have, but I have to kinda pick where I spend my money. At $200 it’s hard to justify it when I like working with more expensive wood. I am working on a project now where I use the black diamond ceramic so we will see if it’s comparable

I think it would confuse the audience if I opened with that

That's right. Anytime a person uses brass, walnut, and black epoxy they must shout out Cam from Blacktail Studios. As he's the only one doing that...Lmao. Come on man, I really don't think that's necessary. It's 2024 and there are plenty of woodworkers using that combination. Let the guy make his desk.

Eh the little snag with the finish wasn’t really a problem. Found out I was probably stopping to soon in my sanding grits. OSMO like a really smooth surface to even out on unlike Rubio

I gotcha, but the top really isn’t that heavy despite its size. And the motor seems to run with no issues. But I’ll keep that in mind for any future sit/stand furniture

Good to know and thanks for the feedback!

100% agree

Ha I’m not the biggest fan of OSMO either but I chose it for the color. And knowing my wife she won’t be beating this thing to hell so I took the risk

@@lonestarwoodworking3810 What happens should the desk get "Christened", though? Explain that one to the Osmo rep hahahaha just buggin'.

Thank you I appreciate that

​@@lonestarwoodworking3810i binge watched all of your creations, please make more asap 😉

@@lukada83 haha I’m working on it!

I am talking about gluing both sides.

Yeah had to figure out the hard way that TH-cam uses the format your phone filmed in. Seems common sense but I was only doing TikTok prior to this vid

I had my welders safety squints on

The first time I tried it was on the double river ash dining table

I appreciate it!

Thank you! And I’m actually compiling all my footage from all my past build to narrate

Unfortunately it still ended up a coffee table. The construction was very poor on my part but it was a good learning experience

Good to know things I said over a year ago still hold up!

I appreciate the concern and I’m well aware of the issues that can arise from inhaling any dust.

@lonestarwoodworking3810 if you are aware and work from home and have kids dust collector and a mask for you, those kids want to keep you for awhile

Awesome! Thank you!

I appreciate the input!

Good insight, I was never really educated on its purpose. Kinda had to just figure that out

That’s a good point

Yeah the weather doesn’t always like us. What are some of your more common species in France?

@@lonestarwoodworking3810 There is oak walnut, but the main region is pine, I have trees in my garden, about 2 years ago I had to remove some, I have some nice pieces of ash, one tree that I was hoping to be able to use some of it to make other some shelving or some pieces of furniture at some, When it came down it disintegrated, it took me roughly 10 to 15 minutes to prep the tree sawcut chainsaw et cetera making sure it was going to go in the right direction, as it came down, it twisted hit a side of an old caravan and just literally fell apart. It was so rotten, in fact, I would think those somewhere between 6 to 8 m inside of it that was hollow, I have also Alder , which obviously is very good for making guitar bodies, I do have about 6 to 8 slabs, which I could probably make something out of and probably another year or two time, I’m slowly air drying it at the moment, There was a beautiful large burr on the tree, I have since useless, I made a very large fruit bowl for a friend of mine who lives back in the UK, it’s approximately 30 inches long by about 20 inches wide, I found it in such a way that it left large wings on the longer ends, so I spent around two days with a very large carving gouge and chopped the end out, The tree itself had to come down, as it was on the side of the river on my property, but was higher than what the electric cables were that were going across the river, I started to remove it, by using a very large electric winch, pulling it over, and at the time there was work being done on the property next door to me, where the electricity company was working, they told me in the end that they would remove it, normally this will cost a lot of money, but it was over electric cables they done it for nothing for me. They had to turn the mains electricity off whilst they dropped the tree part above the cables., The only annoying thing is, I’ve got it set up, so it would’ve fallen onto my land, they decided that they wanted to drop it into the river, it took me eight weeks to get it out, there’s about a one a half meter drop from my land into the river, Sorry, I seem to be gambling on a bit, on my old dude, living by myself in rural France, very rarely speak to anybody as I cannot speak French, I used to run my own specialist joinery company back in the UK, I still have a lot of my tools and machinery, Most of my business over the last 10 to 15 years was barn conversion projects, making very large windows and doors, One of my windows stands 4 1/2 m in height, it took eight people to lift it and pull it up into place, I think that’s enough for me ramping on for, stay safe, look forward to seeing some more work, I no doubt other next day or so. I’ll have a look at some more of your TH-cam channel.,

I appreciate it!

Awesome to know!

Thanks!
