Hand-built LEGO Star Wars Minifigure Display Cabinet | DIY Woodworking Project
Join me as I build my own LEGO Star Wars minifigure display cabinet to house my collection of over 70 LEGO Star Wars minifigs!
I wanted to create a minifigure display cabinet with some personality, so I chose pretty much the hardest thing I could do: create a death star hallway pattern by hand. I used a trim router and a bit of math to come up with how I'd make this pattern, and I think it turned out amazing! Let me know what you think about this LEGO Star Wars minifigure display in the replies!

    The calculator didnt seem to have a note about which side of the blade has the test piece and how to account for the adjustment. I ended up doubling my error after adjustment before I saw the comments in the first video. That part really needs to be clear in the calcuator.

    I have seen many videos for this kind product, but nobody mentioned that it is ONLY good for Vac less than 3HP. Otherwise, it is overloaded and will burn. For 2 HP Vac, it needs 13A current and 3HP 18A current. This procuct is designed for 15A only.

    I came here because the calculator I'm using to square my fence keeps telling me to move the fence inward toward front of the sled, it keeps getting more OUT of square, and placing a square against the blade and the fence tells me it CLEARLY needs to go BACK, not forward! I think that's what you are addressing in Q4. I think it DOES make a huge difference. Going to go try it again, armed with this new knowledge,

    For my three crosscut sleds I’ve always taken my numbers written out on paper and solve with a calculator. It is a great way to get the sled accurate but one of my sleds “moved” over time, didn’t make it heavy enough. The plastic runners are a good upgrade that you can also get by cutting up an old large plastic kitchen cutting board. My wife thought I was thinking of her when I kept buying new cutting boards.

    Good idea BUT!! Why not... Use three layers 1/4 inch masonite pegboard, cut to size, glue together using pre-bought pegs to align? Surely that strong enough for materials you are clamping. It also eliminates the laying out and marking and drilling of holes by hand. But if not enarge holes using drill with drill guide to go to 3/8" or even half inch dowels if desired.

    Thank you for the Moxon vice video. I’m definitely going to build one. However, I have a question about your Delta jointer. I need a jointer and there is one for sale near me that looks exactly like yours. It has a good price on it. But it has no cutter head guard and I can’t find replacement parts. In your video it looks like yours was missing too and you or someone else made a replacement . If it was you can you share how you did this? Thanks, George Barron

    • @BikeCityWoodworks
      @BikeCityWoodworks 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sure! The jointer is pretty good, although I'd recommend getting a helical head for it. I was also spooked by the lack of a guard, so I made it myself. It's basically just an inch-thick cutting board, cut into a pork-chop shape with a hole as big as the hole in the table. The real key is that the jointer still had the cutter guard spring in it. That makes sure it can spring back and forth without any further modification. If yours doesn't have the spring still installed in it, then you might have to do something different. But my process was as follows: 1. Glue up the pieces into a cutting board 2. Cut the general rounded shape, and finesse it. 3. Drill the hole for the post. 4. Get two nylon washers (one for directly above and one for below the guard), a nylock nut, and a piece of half-inch all-thread about 6-8 inches long. 5. Cut the half-inch all-thread down to length, then using a grinder cut a vertical notch into one end. This will contact the stock spring in the jointer table. 6. Install the all-thread, making sure the spring indexes inside the notch. 7. Install one nylon washer, then the guard. 8. Install the second nylon washer. 9. Install the nylock nut, making sure to tighten it just enough so the guard doesn't move, but can still move back and forth. Too tight and it will stick open. Here's a bit more on it: instagram.com/p/CJtWKYYjrBG/ Hope this helps!

    • @georgebarronjr
      @georgebarronjr 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@BikeCityWoodworks Thank you! This is great info. I think the price on this jointer is good enough that I'd have room in the budget for a helical head. It is on Craig's list and the seller is slow to respond to questions but I'll see if he can tell if the return spring is still there. If not I'll pass. I'm not a safety freak but I just don't like the idea of an exposed cutter head.

    To calculate more accurately, adjust the sample’s length to reflect the distance between the actual points where the width was measured by the callipers. For this application it’s best to have the calliper jaws closer to perpendicular to the workpiece when measuring width, otherwise it’s difficult to know at what point on the jaws the piece is actually registering. The depth of the jaws is not insignificant and could skew the effective workpiece length.
