Well done - It's great when mods/designs turn out and work the way you conceived them. On another video I think you said the main man at Cut Hub made you the nice plastic end covers that snapped into place, nicely finishing off the project.
You can always tell when someone does a right or left face that has not been in the military because their arms swing out. I already knew from previous videos that you are the real deal. Your right face reminded me of it. Thank you for your service.
I am right at the end of my Carpentry/Trim work career and I still want to buy that Cut hub. Nice modifications too, Richard. That's a sweet Crown stop. -Keith
I really enjoy your videos. One recommendation I have is I think your next tool needs to be an enclosed trailer. I went with a 16' and have plenty of room for tools and material. I'm a hard surface flooring contractor. At the end of the day I unhook and I have a nice clean truck for evenings and weekends! Best setup I've had, by far.
Need a way to attach your pocket hole maker to the bench part. That would be cool too. Track tube on the far end. Have it able to slide on and off when needed.
I just use the (cheap) crown stops that you showed us several years ago. a couple of pieces of 2 x 4 screwed to the sides of the chop saw. Works great for me at a cost of $3. I think it's in the top 5 cool tips you've shown.
Great idea I'm sure you will use the heck out of that. And thank you for always lowering the volume on the cuts. I know that aluminum cut was hard on the ears.
Excellent vid! You are so smart and innovative! I wonder if you could find a plastic end cap that would fit over the cut end of the track, that would give it that OEM look for sure. Thanks for sharing sir!
Richard, If you go to your local auto supply store you can get a small Ratchet tool where you can change head and is small enough to use inside your track-tube metal. It would be easier to tighten in those tough spots. When I get a chance I will share a picture. It’s very slim and think you can benefit from it. It would be nice to be able to put a rubber cap at the end of the metal and yes it can become a storage space.
You could use the same tracks in the place of the primed pine board, but it would only work for the crown not the offset panel moulding. Your inventions are awesome dude. Hopefully I'm as good a finish carpenter as you one day
Need to get a mini or micro ratchet for that to save you the headache if you need to take them off in the future. Another good addition would be to etch or tape on a ruler to either stop so you can make sure both sides are same distance away from the back of the fence
You can put a strip of wood underneath your jig, below the cut line so that the jig remains as one piece. You can even cut the gap with the angles of your saw. Keep up the great work
Like they're saying, lipstick, crayola, chalk, powdered chalk, caulk, paint, graphite, ink, oil...I've even used water. Perfect cutouts for swithches, etc. in drywall. I will say, you are a Precisionist.
Couldn’t you just slide the panel mold jig out and use it at the crown stop as well? Great video, you’ve convinced me to go ahead and pick up a Cut Hub.
Hello Richard. On your tracking ur putting on each end. Next time take some grease and dab it on the head of the bolts and set the tracks up to it and it will transfer it to where you want to drill. Quick fast. And works great. Or if you have some house paint dab it on the bolt.
To transfer a center for a threaded hole you can buy transfers screws, which look like a set screw, but have a ground point. You install them put the pice you need to mark up against them and give the piece a whack. You now have a center pint to place the drill on. And, I’d have drilled the access hole for the wrenches.
Love it... keep going. Love the videos. They should pay you a royalty. Its an honest review. Even if you didn't like a feature they should want the feedback to make advancements. Thank you
Not surprised you are modifying it, just one idea, add a small wood guide in front and behind the T-bolt to help align with the T-track, also add another piece on your jig for alignment along the outer edge of the tracktube, doing this you shouldn't need to remove the knob every time. I did this on a jig and it's just drop in and tighten, have drawing if needed.
Just use the panel trim molding jig and slide it away from the fence and use it as the crown jig. 2 jigs in one! You will never have to remove the bolts from the jig as you can just loosen the knobs and slip it off. Until you cut through it. But hey, just cut some extras and you never have to worry about it. Great video as always.
Please do a video how a homeowner could build his own show Bench something that may be portable but something more likely to be left in the garage thank you I love you videos
How is the 12” Milwaukee working. I have dewalt 7 1/4 but want to get 12” battery. Would you recommend the dewalt 60v or Milwaukee 12” battery saw. I am getting into more trim jobs and need to get one soon. Thank you for making these awesome videos.
Is track clamps or a great idea, I hope cut hub kicks back something to you not only for your ideals but for selling their workstation. Thanks for sharing
If you want, I would be interested in 3d printing you some endcaps for your new CutHub modification. All I would need is a pic of the open side of the TrackTube with a ruler/tape with mm markings on it (against the tube)so I can get the sizing on it. Just want to pay you back for all of the great advice, tips, and tricks! I never miss a video! Could make the front caps so it stopped the bolt from sliding off the front, and allow it to be slid in from the back.
Bad ass set up bro. I like your chanel. So what Miter saw you ended up with? DEWALT, MAKITA OR MIL? What about a table saw? Im trying to find as well both Corded / Cordless Miter and Table saw. I will order me a Cut Hub for sure. Now juts trying to find me the saws.
Lay out tip. "Mirror" Flip the channel up side down. Set on top of bench, flush channel with edges, use your square to mark center of bolts. Measure down to center of bolts from top bench., use that measurement to measure up on the channel .
As a fellow trim guy I still can’t see how you like this.... It’s clearly geared for the framing / decking side of carpentry.. not what we do. I get your issues with the Dewalt stand as you had it set up but there better setups than what you had. And the money.... wow that is crazy town right there.. however all that said I still enjoy your videos lol.... and I really look forward to the day you move on from this thing
Thanks. I just like it. Especially now after using it for about a month. It’s amazing. Not sure why a finish guy wouldn’t see the value in it. Is it expensive? Yes for sure. But that aside, this is what I’ve dreamed of for years. I’m a rugged guy and I’m hard on my stuff. This is the only thing I see holding up for years that actually has every feature I want. I’ll do a full review soon.
@@FinishCarpentryTV have you looked into the best fence? It just seems right up your alley. I’ve had a lot of the same issues and we share a lot of the same complaints with cutting 16’ material.
I’d give my right arm for that setup. That’s the Cadillac if saw stands imo. I’ve only ever seen them on demos. Never actually used one but aside from the cost i personally don’t see how that’s not any finish guys dream setup. The height adjustment you could set it up to support the back of your table saw and rip 16’ stock by yourself easily, just endless possibilities imo plus who wouldn’t want all that extra bench space. Mount you a nice little surge protector multi outlet and I’d have every tool I own working off of that bench. Awesome setup. Always keep improving or your falling behind!!!!
@@toolman101476 I looked at the Cuthub as well, but just couldn't justify the price, so I went with the best fence. Now I'm second guessing that choice, because of the weight of the best fence. As I get older, it gets harder and a harder to lift heavy things in and out of my truck, and the Best Fence is very heavy.
I burned myself the same way when I was installing closet doors in my mom's house and I had to cut the tracks to size and I cut them the same way you did. I made the same mistake of trying to pick up the scrap piece right away haha...
Lipstick on the head of the bolts. Press your piece against them and the lipstick will transfer over and show you where to drill holes. Plus your wife will love you using her lipstick
You stole my thunder!!! Literally! An old carpenter showed me that trick a long time ago. He used the trick while hanging sheetrock...put the lipstick on the outlet boxes, slapped the rock up there, pulled it back, cut the holes, slapped it back up there before I really knew what he’d done. Strangely enough, it was the first thing I thought about when Richard put the Aluminum up to the bolts!! Good times. 😁
Excellent idea 💡 👏 would really set it off for the crown 👑 stop if it was aluminium but so you don't cut in to it a half moon shape in the centre matching the curve of the mitre saw plate . Another idea 💡 for you great work look forward to see you use your ideas keep up the great work 👍
Hey Richard good job on the jig! , question are you gonna be able to look at the angle that you’re be cutting since the board for the crown molding is too big for you to look at angles?
You could get some hex head machine screws that match the Allen head ones and then use a small ratcheting wrench on them instead of the Allen key and pliers. Either way you got it done and they probably won’t be coming off. Love the work!
Would it be more efficient to have dedicated T bolts and knobs for the jigs you use the most (if it is cost effective). That way you can slide each jig on and off. I know it's not hard disassembling the knobs, but it would save you time on the job.
@@FinishCarpentryTV drill 2 small holes in the timber at the exact distance of the gap between the tracks. This way every time you need to make another guide fence from scrap you can just clamp the scrap block under the timber and drill the perfect spaced holes without spending time marking out the T bolt holes every time
Awesome stuff man, thanks for sharing this, it's cool, and yeah I get super excited too doing stuff like this too, IDK maybe its a man thing LOL I remember getting my table saw delivered from a common carrier, as soon as the truck pulled up I was out their ready and the truck Driver said, I can always tell when I'm delivering tools because they guys are always eager and ready before they even get out of the truck LOL SO True
“Always a good day when you make a mess in the garage” I couldn’t agree more 😌
Dude you inspire me to be more collective when I’m working. No need to rush and stress all the time
I like the beginning, I assume you were in the military. Thanks for your service and videos, I learn something everytime.
Marine Corps
Right, TURN! was sharp. Hand Salute wouldn't make the cut! Fingers apart! 😂 The mod definitely makes the cut.
Love the modifications! They are Awesome! Thanks for all you do for all of us out here on the day to day grind for new innovated ideas.
Your wheels are always turning..working on the next generation idea. I knew it wouldn’t be long. Love it!
The threaded holes on the sides of the miter saw can be used to mount the track tube as well.
Thank you for being so through in everything. It’s important to your viewers.

Hopefully Cut Hub watches this and makes it an option when buying their products. Great idea!
Man that is AWSOME as always . One thing I would do is put a washer under the star knobs .
Awesome brackets. Awesome Cut Hub table 💯
Little things now that save time later are huge in the long run! great job
what a simple and great idea about a hour of work is going to make your job so much faster great job
Nothing better than a little ingenuity to make your job a little easier and more efficient.
You could also use the panel mold jig for rabbit cross cuts to hold the wood away from the fence to get full depth cut.
So used to working with wood. Lol.
I hear you. Once in a while after I sweat copper I’ll forget and lean on or pick up a pipe. Yeooowwwww
I am right at the end of my Carpentry/Trim work career and I still want to buy that Cut hub. Nice modifications too, Richard. That's a sweet Crown stop. -Keith

Great opening shot of the 135.. NKAWTG, crewed them many years at MAFB.
That’s pretty slick. I really want one now!
Great job and thank you for sharing it with us all.
Learned to make the template out of cardboard and the transfer to the metal.
Dang! I'm really impressed with the carrying tote feature.. I'm sold! 😜
Another reason we like you Richard, you are always thinking 🤔 how could we make this better?
I for one am looking forward to the next one!

You're gonna be the Grampa all the kids wanna hang around to fix stuff!
Why did you stop using the dewalt 12" flexvolt saw?

probably will never do any of this but your videos are relaxing thanks nighty night 🌙
I wasn't sure when you first got it but using it as tool transport and know the up grade that's sweet !;-)
Great video thanks Richard ,stay safe
You know what I think of your videos? 👍 Every time!

Should acid etch a ruler on the top of those track tubes so you can set it up east without a tape

Is there any kind of protective finish on the Cut Hub boards? If not do you plan on adding a finish, maybe boiled linseed oil?
When you first bought it I was thinking man it should have some T-tracks somewhere on it. Problem solved. Looks awesome!
Just use the panel trim molding jig and slide it away from the fence and use it as the crown jig. 2 jigs in one!

Nice crown stop idea. What vendor did you purchase the track rails from?
Please do a video how a homeowner could build his own show Bench something that may be portable but something more likely to be left in the garage thank you I love you videos

How are liking the new camera. Can't tell a difference in the quality I just bought the sony zv1.
How far away is your Milwaukee mitre saw review, I'm holding out on buying one till I watch it✌️😄
Do you get the fast setting bonding agent at wood craft
What about if you glue those tracks with the strongest glue that you always use? .......faster and easier...
Could you not use one jig to do both?

@@dustingrubish8863 Why don't you just router out the radius? Then you can see the whole thing.

Awesome! Yes today was a good day. Thanks.
You could always use the same jig for both applications. Move it, tighten, when it gets too many bites taken from it, replace with new piece...
Great video man good job
