      This is a brilliant idea! As long as you're consistent with your trowel angle you should have a very consistent height to the ridges that would have more "give" to adapt to a rougher surface

      @@startmaking1 You're very welcome! Whilst it is nice to sometimes just watch people making things without any talking, I don't learn much and sometimes don't even know what they are doing or making, so it's not very motivational. Keep up the inspirational work! P.S. what is the black knob thing called, please? I think it's on the router paddle/push stick you made. Even better if you could tell me what size it is and is the threaded rod part attached to the knob or separate, did you use a nut for it too? I expect it's called something different here in Australia, so it's size and function are the most relevant details. Thanks in advance.

    • @startmaking1
      @startmaking1  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If it is the bit that adjusts the back stop on the paddle, it is from a jig making kit I bought on Amazon. The bit it screws into is a threaded insert. You can get these in different sizes. I have gone for an M8, The bolt section with the black knob is called a clamping screw knob on the ones I bought from amazon and they are also M8 size threads, I had to cut them down to the right length to avoid the need for a deeper hole. I have also seen them called star knobs or hex shaped grip knobs with male thread. I really hope that this helps. If you wanted to you could just use a bolt and sink the nut into the paddle part and glue with epoxy and then counter sink the head of the bolt into a round or hexagon shaped piece of scrap for the knob. Ive done that a few times.

I'm watching this video again because it's so good and I've watched so many videos since I asked you that question, I can't remember which one of your 10 tools I was referring. I ordered some threaded inserts and a couple of star knobs in anticipation of something or other I'd seen and forgotten (senior moments), before reading your reply, I'm also going to make some star knobs too, they are pretty easy to do with forstner bits and a bandsaw. Thanks again!

    Pro tip : when using a hole saw , allow the 1/4" pilot to go through the stock and the hole saw to cut into the face about 1/4". Then drill from the other side. This will prevent blowout on the other face.

    Back to your core calling, Mark. This was a treasure chest of ideas and tips. I loved it! Liked your bench cookies. I bought a pack of foam practice ice hockey pucks that do the same job for a fraction of the price of the real McCoys, but making a French cleat for the cookies… that was class! Going to make me one of those. I liked the rubber based push stick solutions, too, and the router table push stick-square-jig-solution-thingy. Will give that a try.
    I also really liked the change in camera angle. I know it was because that’s the end of your table saw, but it meant I could get a good gander at that end of the cleat wall too. 😂

    • @startmaking1
      @startmaking1  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you Roger. this was one I really enjoyed making. Pucks are a brilliant solution. Best thing about the cleat holder is that it is literally thrown together, nothing fancy just a win. Lol, I love how much you like the back drop. That end of the cleat wall is pretty poorly done. It starts at the other end where I am trying to get perfection and then slowly goes into chaos. I may end up making another chest of drawers for that corner so I will have to lose a little of the cleat area. And I am still holding off covering the entire back wall with cleats as that is a massive decision. Fun times.

I remember getting really down during lockdown and one of the things that got me going again was tidying up the garage, buying a table saw and really get into my woodwork, which had until then been intermittent.

    @andyboybennett 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I agree that the shop is my therapy, and that making anything adds to the joy. However, after a while I find that if I only make "shop projects", and not a finished item that I can put in my house or give to a friend, I start feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. I have a shopful of jigs, storage holders and home-made tools, but I need to produce things that are beautiful for the whole experience to be meaningful. And by "beautiful", I don't mean beautiful to anyone's standards but mine. Seeing an object that I build and that I really enjoy looking at is like graduation, or like an award ceremony, After I finish a project, I can go back to the shop and be perfectly content puttering, rearranging, making new storage items or jigs.
    Your quick review of all the non-slip materials was worth the price of admission. Thanks.

      @stevenlengyel9701. That sounds fun. I think where people find it hard is when the video is described as a beginner build and all the tools come out. And dont get me wrong, I have done that myself. But it can leave people feeling mis sold. Now, when I win the lottery and build a massive workshop with all the tools, I will get round that by just inviting everyone to visit and build with me. That would be fun.

  • @jak5160
    @jak5160 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    That is your best video. Good ideas with the ability to adapt them. Unlike some videos where they make an engineered device that takes away work time at the bench and therefore will not be used in case they get damaged. You are making throwaway devices to make a hobby safer and more effective without much cost.
    I'm a time served cabinet maker, so I tend to be a little picky.
    Your choice and use of some hand tools is not the best, but your target viewers possibly won't notice. Well done, do some more.

      Thank you. And this is nothing more than me wanting to learn, can you tell me which hand tools are not used right. Promise that I am not asking in a defensive manner. You comment was really well received and appreciated.

      For the sake of hobby wood workers. Planes are numbered, which indicates the length of the plane. You used a long plane, 7 or 8 to level and smooth a piece of wood much smaller than the plane. As a result we can see the plane wobbling around as you push it. No way could you achive a smooth flat cut. A number 3 to 5 1/2 would be much better, smaller, lighter, easier to keep steady while removing a fine shaving. If like me you had used planes for over 30 years you could possibly get away with a number 7 if that was all you had. Personally, I would have used a flush cut saw and then a very sharp chisel. I'm not being critical, merely trying to help a fellow woodworker.
      Keep making dust and shavings my friend.

    one thing i found worked well as a push block was a foam backed float from a local hardware store. think it was meant for grouting or plastering, but is nice and grippy. once the foam has gone, i can soon add some sacrificial stuff to it. think it was a tenner, so nothing lost really.

    At last!!!! Someone who understands how to make a push stick that completely negates any reason to use those horrible(my opinion) push shoes that compromise distance from the blade and balance.
    The only thing I am going to change with mine is I am going to experiment with an even longer shaft to keep my hand out of reach of any possibility of being cut by the blade. To be this would be the ultimate push stick and I love that you have invented one that can ne modular for different widths of stock. You are the only one on youtube in many years that I have seen understanding the negatives of a push shoe. I have just never felt right about them and have always prefered even the push stick that comes with the saw over them. I have often used 2 push sticks and in all honesty in 30 years have had about 2 kickbacks and they were when I was much younger and could have been avoided.
    When designing a push stick my order of priority is 1/Protect my fingers at all costs
    2/Control the workpiece.
    The standard accepted push shoe reverses this order of priority imho and thats why I will never use them because my fingers are top priority.
    I will never ever use one of those yellow push blocks. They have already caused millions of accidents. They should be banned imo because the blind the user to whats happening underneath. They give me the heebie jeebies!

    I've been wood working for about 6 years and never thought of a pushstick WITH the wide grip pad. Plus the adjustable back hook! 🤯. The hexagon bench cookies is also a great idea. I'm guessing they don't spin under pressure due to the perfectly parallel connection. Have you tried using sliding triangles as wedges? Take a squared up board and cut a slope along it. Make one into a bench dog. Then another solid point leaving room for your work plus a few inches in between. Add the workpiece and use the second triangle to wedge it. Great video! I'm going to add cork to my vice right now 😆

    • @startmaking1

      I like mine but in all honesty the square one is basically as good and a little more sturdy. Far easier too. I honestly would make one the size of mine and then one twice the length. Too long and you risk it flipping if it is not wide enough. The hexagon was a fun test but I looked again today and 2 sides are only a few mm apart. Either way, I hope you enjoy whichever one you make.

    RTV works on (most) silicone. In fact, with RTV you can just coat the wood. But the cork is still better because it has greater mechanical stability. Silicone will rip pretty easily. Coating the face with a 2 part urethane rubber is probably the best option. Urethane is tough, mix it up, brush it on.

    Excellent video. I couldn't agree with you more: sometimes it is all about the easy wins. I don't make fine furniture, or sell shed loads of items I make. I do, however, enjoy my time in my basic garage workshop, and find it very therapeutic.
    I had a lot of left over oak worktop from a kitchen job that I used to make chunky bench cookies. Rather than limit the size and complicate the build - not to mention the cost of beasting through oak with a giant hole cutter - I opted for simple, easy to cut, square cookies, flapjacks, if you like. I used spray adhesive and anti-slip rug stuff, and they work a treat. I went on to make a couple of push pads along the same lines.
    I also own the gripper, but tend to use push sticks made out of 6by2 offcuts.

    • @startmaking1
      @startmaking1  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you. therapeutic is the word. Great idea for the flap jacks. I missed a trick here as I have some oak work top left too. I used to carve off 10mm slices to use to make boxes when I first started out. Massive drain on the circular saw. Nice wood though. In a weird way I hope to use the Gripper less and less as I get used to the home made push sticks.

But I will try and keep them as few and far between as possible. I know for a fact that I cant afford woodpecker and a second workshop for filming seems bonkers. I was lucky to be allowed to build one small workshop. I will no longer do gifted tool reviews. They were ok for a while. I now have a policy that if I am gifted a tool, I will tell people but will not do a full review. See my sense extension video. I would be keen to know what you think of the roller integration.
