- In this video we machine up some 6x2 Western Red Cedar to match a sample of handrail that has some rotten timber in it. we use the spindle moulder to do the profiling and finish off cleaning it up with the no4 smoothing plane and sander.

Nice work replicating the handrail. I was watching you exerting yourself pushing the timber across the spindle moulder while noticing the unused power feeder in the background, I assume it's not working unfortunately :-) Cheers

Thanks.
The piece of timber was wider than the feed unit could lift up to. This unit is run only horizontally, and for the sake of a 1 long piece, I didn't want to alter the setup, as I'd have it done by the time I got it setup. The piece was a little bowed, so the effort was in trying to hold it down, not in pushing it through.😊
@@DTJoinery I agree with the setup issues. I have taller post so I can raise the unit up higher but it is a pain to setup each time. It feels like I’m practising origami each time- twist this, turn that and so on. Cheers
Does that spindle keep its edge after removing that much material in one pass?
@thomo74
Pretty much, obviously timber species plays a big part in how long citters remain sharp.
Nice to see i'm not the only one with those extra fancy hold downs for the workbench! 🤣 On a less silly note; actually two things. Is that fir? Also, totally get what you said about the grain not always working like it looks. I find it much easier to feel the grain direction before it's dressed. Looking at it when it is can be deceiving.

Haha.
Its WRC.
Yeah, I find myself having to do that more and more these days, especially with timber where the grain is all over the place.
@@DTJoinery Aha of course, that explains the colour variation. Such beautiful material, I just wish it was a bit harder. First door i ever made was from WRC. Back then, it was a thousand bucks per cubic meter. I'd hate to think of how much it costs in Australia now!
@brycecomerwoodworks
Yeah, its insane. $7500m3
This ling piece was incense cedar, so it smelt lovely and sweet.
I miss working with how light and easy on the body/machinery it is, but I dont miss the allergies😁
@@DTJoinery $7500m3😵! I guess $17.70 a super foot isn't crazy if you're buying it by the stick, but i'm guessing you're buying it by the lift?
I hear you about the allergies. I seem to have developed an allergy to black walnut. I end up looking like Mr. Puffy and feel like crap. It is manageble though, i just have to minimize the dust as much as possible & i seem to be ok. Took me a couple of times before i figured out what was going on.
