Mind your back dude - ceiling mounted block and tackle rail or a mobile scissor cart/table (much cheaper!) that you can use to bring the slabs to machinery at different levels. Lovely work as always - looking forward to seeing it finished.
Here, here! Bring in/repurpose those gantry canes he built for lifting the trailer. I have a beam crane in my shop with chain fall hoist. Makes the whole world easier, if loud. An electric winch lift would be much quieter.
@@MrBassjan Fun fact correction: There is a standard that locks the two units together. It doesn’t affect the precision of Imperial units in any way, it merely prevents conversion errors. If you look at the history of the metric system, you will see that their definitions have also changed over the years and are just as arbitrary. That been said… who fact checks a joke? Who fact checks a joke and then blows it? That would be you… 😜
Andy, I was really happy to see that you brought those MDF forms outside to finish routing their edges! Man, that sutff is nasty, isn't it?! And you're right about the challenges of working with rough lumber, as you truly don't know what you'll run into until you've milled it. The aprons are coming along nicely to this point and I know they're going to look amazing. I'm really looking forward to the joinery video. I also think it's time for you to add a vertical stock feeder to make life easier for you when resawing on your lovely vintage bandsaw. Keep up the terrific workmanship, my friend!
I always find your work fascinating love to see more on the camper but I know you have busy things to do like you said get to it when you get to it love all your projects man wishing you nothing but lots of success can't wait for the next video on the camper thank you again my friend hope you and your family are well God bless 😄👍
I have had a bunch of material bug chewed like you have there. Those dark rings around don't finish well. I think its from the bugs eating and digesting the wood fibers and then what is left from the digestion process. Great project! Hurts my back just watching you.
Andy really nice as usual🇺🇸🇺🇸🪚🔨📐🚪🪟🪑 I just made a side table & used 12/4 Ambrosia worm maple for the legs, it is amazing the different color tones that come out of that stuff, it took me a while though too fill all the worm holes with dyed black epoxy. Keep it up I can’t wait to see these tables finished. God Bless🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dang, you do anymore of those and it might be a good idea to invest in a gantry for the shop. Man, I love how that turned out! That's just awesome! After doing this do you feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger? 'ARGHH My ahrms are too big, I con't sclatch my eears! ARGHH'
Those "spots" are the burrowings of the emerald ash borer. They are killing most of the ash in the US. The smaller holes may be from powder post beetles. I use a lot of white ash and see them often.
I have to make an ash bent lamination for my grandson’s baby crib, your video was very informative and helpful, if you don’t mind me asking how thick did you resaw those board for lamination?
Nice vid Andy and yeah your a perfectionist and that’s why your designs look so good and if your not happy with the materials 🤔 then your clients probably wouldn’t be either 👌🏻.
The sliding system for the jig male and female part is an excellent idea. One remark however. Why don't you use 3 - 5 mm plywood for the interior of the bent laminations? This bends very easily given the nature of this material, it is cheap, stable, can be glued, saves x hours of work, and saves soldi wood usage. Only the in- and outside strips need to be solid wood, and if the glue lines would show, you can always consider glueing a segmented bow on the laminated surface, this would be in any case visually more attractive. I've made similar round tables with bent laminations using 5 mm thick pine plywood and European walnut on the outsides, worked great no one ever noticed.
Holy shit dude, I haven't watched in a couple few months or something and you really blew up. Congrats! Bad ass cnc machine and other equipment. But man, find a safer way to lift heavy objects. I'm 35 with a blown out back. Currently in the process of applying for disability. Back surgery didn't help and made the pain worse.
Love the bending jig. I think you are asking a lot from your router bit to take such a big cut. Try putting a larger diameter bearing for a smaller cut then follow with the flush trim bearing.
Where do I start....First off you always do amazing work, even when things go wrong. You had me worried and on the edge of my seat wrangling those huge slaps around. I've just started messing around with using a CNC more in the shop, so I understand the struggles. My biggest concern is what happened to you. It's a struggle to find a balance for access/ease and securely holding the piece. Oh and I bet you loved working with the MDF. I could see the cloud of dust coming off it when you were using the template bit. When I use it on the CNC it's not so bad the vacuum gets most of the fine dust and just leaves some chips if the boot isn't touching the work. Can't wait for part 2 to see how those bent lams work out. Rick
Really interesting, Andy. You could have used those boards with the shadows as interior to the laminations but I guess the edge match wouldn't look right (or be up to your high standards). That was quite a bending jig. Take care. Bill
Mr. Rawls, nice table so far! Until you started cutting the boards down into the "veneers" I thought you were going to be bending the WHOLE 4/4 BOARD!! XD Great video as always, the shot of you flush trimming outside was pretty cool. Also, I see you are a man of good taste in the firearms department! (Made in America, or not made at all)
I don't know what type of bits that you use, but contrary to marketing, carbide gets dulled by wood much more easily than HSS. I fully recognize that that is contradictory, and that carbide is significantly harder than HSS. It is nonetheless the truth. The same way that carbide has to be fed into steel at higher feed rates otherwise you risk breakage, the wood is not enough engagement for the friction it produces. Other than when brand new, HSS end mills will last longer in wood without needing resharpening.
steam bending would have been hit or miss with that much of a bend and you would still have the possibility of future warping, this way is much more stable and is the way we glue up the rockers on rocking chairs at my work
Yeah Sean answered this spot on. Steam bending introduces a lot of variables and challenges, bent laminations are a much easier process plus you get little to no spring back. I used to do a lot of steam bending for chair work…it’s a really fun process but man it’s difficult to get dialed in.
What is your secret when resawing on the band saw? I've tried the tall fence, tried those bearing point fences, I always end up at just freehand following a pencil line. I'm using a 1905 37-in crescent very similar to your saw. Did you have problems Early on? Is your current clamped on fence waxed or anything? I have to cut twice as thick in order to plane it down. Wasting fancy lumber drives me nuts. I have the same issue whether I am trying to cut veneer or glue lam.
Please do. I believe he can do great work up the filming and editing needs some teaching. *skillshare*...but I do belive he does beautiful work but it's boring me to watch the video

Haven’t started yet. That’s next in line the deadline got pushed backed as they’re behind on the house…last I heard their AC is way behind schedule. The new apprentice starts next week and we’ll build that one together after I finish these three rounds.
Andy, I'm sure you're getting used to the cnc. Maybe if you made some reference holes like this video below, it could help to cut these thick pieces a lot faster using only the cnc. You could even put the dowel holes on the bottom of the table top, so they wouldn't be seen. Also for your bending jig, you would just need to make reference holes then add the dowels and bam, just flip and cut. This would eliminate the rough cut with bandsaw and flush trim portion. th-cam.com/video/FIYEwAIq-RU/w-d-xo.html Love the video! Your friend Jaime
There is just something about your cnc sitting next to your old old bandsaw that brings me joy. You are a sensible dude.

Left Leg ! Looking forward to seeing this come together!
I just bought a spiral flush trim bit. Game changer in flush trimming.
I need one!
I've never seen a band saw that big... Wild
i am sure it will be a beautiful table in the end
That bandsaw could cut a Toyota in half, it’s absolutely amazing.
Sorry, a Toyota is metric… that bandsaw is obviously imperial… 😜
@@bucknaked31 Fun fact : to keep imperial units precise, they are nowadays derived from metric.

I like the tapered leg for such a thick and heavy table it brings something elegant to it
Agreed! That’s one of the challenges with these tables, the tops are so thick.
big ol spektra... I haven't pulled the 1/2" one out in a long time. Its a beast!
I love that bandsaw…what a beauty she is.
you could watch the thickness vary on your resawn sections. That's why they make featherboards!
YOUR AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been using the same Amana 1/2” compression bit lately and it’s great. Just make sure to take shallow cuts.
That’s quite the jig Andy, looking forward to episode 2 !
Neat project, thanks for sharing!
you could definitely use either a small powerfeed or like a mag switch feather board for that bandsaw resawing.
Beautiful work, Andy! It's looking fantastic! 😃
Looking forward to the next part!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you!
Looking good so far I think I like the on the right with the slight curve should compliment the round table nicely

Try the Whiteside Spiral flush trim bits, they are SO much better than the straight knife versions.
This was so inspiring, thanks dude

Hey Andy - is your dust collector on when you are running the CNC? ALso is your vacuum clamps on the CNC not working?

I actually did end up using them in the core just not in the outside.
i would invest in a little overhead lift system if i were you. might save your back in the future.

if you line the surface of your laminating jig with shrink wrap, it will prevent the piece from sticking!
Nicely Done!

Routing MDF outside was wise. The stuff explodes into dust when it’s machined .
Yes it’s nasty stuff

Would steam bending not have been easier and stronger than lamination for the skirt/apron? Should be pretty amazing in the end in any event.
