Color sanding. If you are not familiar with that, it is sanding after you get the final coat of clear or paint on a project. You sand until smooth and try and not sand through. LOl! Then buff it out to a nice finish. I put on 3 coats in a day. I do not use this product like the can says to use. To get that glossy look, you will need to apply 6 to 10 coats. I do that by applying 3 coats a day. I do a lite sanding after 3 coats. That is just to knock down dust that gets in the finish. You will see it get shinny as you move along. I use a heat gun to get bubbles out, not to dry it. I have also used a torch of sorts to do the same thing. As you get to the high gloss look, the more air bubbles get in it. In one of my videos, I do show me buffing out this table. I use Minwax finishing wax on that part. Thanks for your input, hope I was helpful. Good luck on your project, and remember not to get in a rush to get it done. It will work out. HGW.

@@ymelfilm yes Amazon gave me a credit. I decided to go with a kit guitar. So I ordered one and should have it by Jan 3rd. The body is the same shape as the IYV 500. Thanks for your input and understanding.

@@ymelfilm hum you could be right but I was also told it was Vietnamese. The guitar was made in Vietnam. It all looks the same to me lol.

@thehobbyguy4me yes, the guitar was made in Vietnam in Saigon (I live 450 km further in the country, owning more IYV). The company is a Vnese-Korean business, head is Korean, characters are Korean. Vietnam uses Latin ABC with tone markers. My problem with the IJZ line that they are heavy a bit. No traditional bracing tech, only cnc everything out of solid wood.

@ that is so interesting. Thanks for the cool info! Yes there are heavy.

@@AncientCityCraftworks cool! Thanks for letting me know. And thanks for watching the videos!

Thanks!

@@jasonpenick3658 I have used lacquer over it as an experiment and it works out. I would suggest to try it out on some scrap wood to see if is compatible. Poly has a tendency to peel off after a few weeks on some projects that I did in the past. Poly clear coat seems to work better with poly products. I have had no problems with the Minwax on its own. I have used it on a lot of my custom guitars. I have guitars that are 20 years old that have held up great! So experiment before trying on your project.

@thehobbyguy4me I’m currently working on a cedar mantle which will not be used quite as much as a table so maybe I’m just overthinking it with the poly. I appreciate the advice and maybe I will just stick with the Minwax on its own. Thank you!

@@jasonpenick3658 you may want to consider the Minwax wood harder before you put on the bin wax tongue oil finish. Good luck with your project.

@@JamesLoftin-f1e Thanks!!

@@jimmytoadfoot we do sign everything we do. I am thinking of putting a note in each one. Or attach the note to the bottom or back Thanks for the input.

@@txbeerreviews3065 thanks for commenting. I put a lot of effort into making the videos that I post. It’s nice to know that there are people that are getting something out of them. If you haven’t yet please subscribe. Hope you enjoy my other videos as well.

Thanks!

@@warrcoww6717 I have both but none seem to fit that small screw that seems to hold the housing on. Like a lot of things, there always seems to that one screw that just wants to make it hard on ya. But I was able to work around it. Thanks for the question

@@JustinMoritz it’s pretty good for small jobs. I do wish it had a cast steel deck but it gets the job done. I like the spiral cutting blades. So much better than the knives. That’s for your comment. Have a great day!

@@thehobbyguy4me Thanks - I was looking at the larger floor models at Rockler this week - very nice fence & bench with a large length table. I think thats the direction ill go sooner than later. Have a great day.

@@JustinMoritz if I had a permanent place to stay or to have my shop I would have gotten a floor model. They are much better than the table top ones. But for what I do this one is doing fine. Plus when it’s time for me to move again it won’t be hard to pack it up for the move. Sounds like you are settling up a nice shop. Wish you all the best in your future!

@@thehobbyguy4me Great points - thank you for getting back to me. I will follow along - new sub here!

@@JustinMoritz Thanks for subscribing!

@@banjomandan7199 no I don’t do it like the can says. I have used this product for years and from using it I found what works best for me. I will soon have a video coming up showing an other project of mine that I will be using the Minwax tung oil finish on. If you haven’t yet subscribe and click the bell so that you will be notified when the video comes up. I hope to have it up by next week. Thanks for the question.

The board’s are pretty wide. The angle of the camera makes it look like my hands are closer than they are. I do use push guides when I need to. Please note that I am also standing off to one side to avoid kick back.

Thanks!

@@N.E.W.Things it has been a fun project. Thanks for watching!

@@N.E.W.Things Thanks! I try. lol.

I do clamp it up! Go watch the whole video. It’s hard to show everything in a short. That’s for your input!

They sure do come in handy for projects! I had a Dewalt 13" some time ago. I sold it with my shop I once had.

Thanks!

Yes I would. It is a user-friendly tool. There are a lot of good videos that show how to use it.

I did some research on the best 13" board planer. There are 2 that sit @ the top. The Dewalt 735 sits @ the top on build quality. There's another company offering a shelix head in thiers for a similar price. It's the other top model, but I forget the brand. I do know it was very similar to the model in this video. I went for the Dewalt based on build quality. I can buy a shelix head for it later if I want. The shelix heads are really nice.

@@brandonhoffman4712 I almost went with the upgraded cutter heads. Grizzly sells one that I was looking at. But I decided to buy the Wen. I do wish I had gone with the spiral cutting head, but the 3 blades do a good job. I say this is a lot. Buy want one can afford and for the type of shop you have. If you are doing production work and doing a lot of wood working as a business, then invest in higher end tools. But for someone like me that is a not so huge budget, then get what works well and not a lot invested. I miss the high-end tools I once had. But, I am having just as much fun with the tools I have now. But I do no where what I once was doing.

You are welcome!

Yes, the fence is working out better than I thought it would after seeing it for the first time. It does take a little care in the set-up. But after that I have had no problems with it. For a Hobby Guy like me, Harbor Freight is a must. You can get a pretty good product for a lot less money than the big names. Like you said, if you take care of them, they last a long while. Plus, Harbor Freight has a good return policy. I have had to return a couple of things, and they always replace them or give me my money back with no hassles. Thanks for your comment and question!

Thanks for the ideas! I had thought of the (chicken wire) I don't have a ladder to go up that high to reach the openings, plus the cost of the wire is not cheap. I rent here as well. Been trying to get the landlord to finish the garage, but I don't think that is going to happen. But, it's a much better place than I once had.

didn't realize you rented. and you're right it probably won't happen.@@thehobbyguy4me

@@forsaken1776Back when the housing bubble popped, we lost everything. Our jobs, our house got flooded, wound up losing the house. Then right after that I got injured real bad, wound up not being able to work. We never could get another house. So we rent. We now live way out in the country because it's the only place we can afford rent wise. It's a nice place, and it gave me the biggest shop I ever have had. The downside is I am an hour away from the big city. And that is where I go to the doctors. I now have a lot of other health issues that sucks. But, I do my hobbies and try to deal with life the best I can. YT is one of my hobbies.

Yep! Next time I go to the big city (I live out in the country) I want to go by Harbor Freight and get one. I will sometimes use my air compressor to blow them out.

I was around $500 with the taxes added to it. I got it from Amazon. Free delivery. I may have been able to get it some cheaper If I could have gotten it in one of the big box stores.

Yep! Sometimes the people that think this stuff has got to make one wonder what they are thinking at times. But other than that, I like mine a lot. Just wish It could do bigger projects at times. But I don't do a lot of big projects. I end up using my table saw for anything over 4 feet long. Thanks for your input!

Wow, a 12" bench top? That Is a beast! Thanks for the comment! Have some fun in your shop! Make some saw dust!!

Thanks! Yep, a lot of what I do is for small builds like guitars. I did a TV stand that turned out to be too big of a job for this tool. But as far as small stuff, it works out great! Most of the time, I don't have a lot of room to justify in having a bigger floor model. I rent... So a lot of times I don't have as big of a space as I do right at this moment in time. But yes, if someone has the space and money, I would say get the bigger floor model.

​@@thehobbyguy4me makes sense. It definitely has its usefulness. Again, thanks for the video. Good content.

Thanks for the comment. It's not a top of the line tool. But it works for me. It does a great job on how clean the cuts are. Great for the hobby people.

Yes, one speed. Thanks for the question.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words!
