new farrington and its a shop project? what a time to be alive
I cannot agree more !
Thank you very much.
@@aRndBelgianGuy Then, I WILL agree more.
So true. 😊
Mike - I don't know what I enjoy most about your videos. The education I get from watching someone as skilled as you, or the entertainment from your dry sense of humor. Likely it's both.
Thank you very much.
Come for dad jokes, stay for the skills
I always get pumped when Medium Density Farrington releases a new video.
Wee!
Missed you Mike. Each video from you is a bonus.
Thank you.
60 seconds in and already learned something! That trick using the plywood offcut on your fence is excellent.
Thank you. That is a great trick.
That tenon fit was extremely satisfying
Ha! Thank you.
what they said, but also, what a top bloke for showing the drop-offs too....
Thank you.
Started following you a few months ago. I've watched just about all the videos you've posted on TH-cam. I've been doing woodworking for about 12 years and remodeling for about 7. I've learned at least one thing from every one of your videos. I appreciate your humor, your knowledge, and the effort you put into your videos. I wish you posted more! Cheers from Pennsylvania.
Thank you, that is great to hear.
Your fatalistic thought process is a breath of positivity.
Love the thin slide bar on the felder fence.
After seeing the door mortice,we all need a light!
Thank you very much.
Seeing that door frame joint getting together was just pure joy
Thank you very much. Nice joinery is a thing of beauty.
Holy smokes Mike!!! The joinery & the sharpening are FANTASTIC!!! Hoping all is well my friend, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks Mike.
I honestly had no idea the versatility a bench grinder could have with all of the different options for jigs. Always figured it’s great to sharpen a beater chisel or a lawn mower blade or what have you. Didn’t think of it as such an accurate way to sharpen anything complicated other than those things. Very cool! Thanks for always willing to teach us something new. Your videos rock!
Yeah, it's funny, many people just see them as a rough tool, but they can produce very fine accurate work when needed.
Hi Mike, you’re absolutely awesome…
I love the quality and the enthusiasm you put into the projects. I loved when you said you had to probe the accuracy of the 0.260” measurement.
Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas. I’ve had a hard time convincing myself about getting a Tormek mainly for the slow speed. I just realized I’ve found a good alternative by going with your idea.
Saul
Thank you very much. The more I use this setup, the more I like it. I think you will too. Good luck with your build.
Glad to see you back. I missed your videos. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
I made one of those 'Dado stack measuring gauge' MATE! Its so simple but has saved me hours! what a tip.
Glad it helped!
Nice to see another oh most excellent video demonstrating your skill and knowledge. But Mike, for me, Not gonna lie. I have gotten into big trouble here in New Hampshire. Yea. It's been motorcycles for me. The barn finds, the container finds ~ That "tampered with" motorcycle from the latino neighborhood in Massachusetts. Less woodworking for me. It took fbMP to get me off of my woodworking and sailboat rehab dreams. It's the four barrel carburetor bracket that has my attention. My son now settling in the Denver area. So we will see. Maybe I'll ride on by and visit. (I now have three of these, in good shape, not quite running (yet)) Gonna weld up a camping pannier for the Suzuki Bandit 1200. Oh yea! 70 years old in May. Life is good. 🙏
You are welcome to stop by, especially if you bring the 1200. I just picked up another bike myself.
@@MikeFarrington Wow!
"An often overlooked, but very useful tool". I can relate to that statement :\
Haha! Good one.
Man was I waiting for a tomato to be sliced... Thanks Mike, awesome video as always!
Yeah. I should have put that in there.
Ive only come across a few people that have a similar attitude towards the tormek, i even have one, but ended up doing exactly what youve done ans got mounts to go in front of the bench grinder, tormek was painfully slow for regrinds, and turning tools. My straight chisels did come off there like razors but the edge left of tormek was weak, so went back to ahnd finishing as i done since young age. Great video Mike and awesome workhmshop grinder set up for everything from hobbist to professional shop, this set up would be the best all round for many applications in my personal opinion.
Thank you very much. I did a ton of research and test drove a tormek before coming to this conclusion. I think, while it has compromises, this really is the best all around setup.
I love your videos Mike--even as I'm overawed by your machines. Long ago I "learned" to sharpen drill bits from a guy who twisted the bit as he ground it. I'm intrigued by your jig which doesn't seem to require that turning motion.
I can sharpen a drill bit by hand. They come out OK. These come out much better and more consistent.
I agree, flattening just the top of the dowels (or a slight bowl) would give a great tactile feel to the handles.
We are on the same page.
It's very therapeutic to watch you organize your shop.... Goals...
Thank you.
Hi Mike -I have the same moulder and I make plywood inserts that fit between the fences and break through with the cutter It’s great when you want to minimise breakout
Great tip.
The safety bars on the shaper are a must in my opinion. I have never used a shaper without them. And that is 35 to 40 years ago. A colleague was setting up the shaper for some window frames. He quickly ran a test block, without the bars, to save precious time. The ambulance got him, and his one and a half now detached fingers, to the hospital quickly, to save precious time. Alas, the fingers could not be glued back on.
I had a kickback on a shaper when I was young, I decided that wasn't going to happen again.
Thanks for the video Mike. Something you mentioned in another video stuck with me. You were thanking your subscribers for allowing you the opportunity to spend more time with your family. Now an ex millworker (currently working in construction management) I am looking to find more ways to be in a position to spend time with my family and have started my own channel.
It is hard to find the time to get in the shop with a full time job and young family but maybe I will achieve some small taste of the success you have earned. Take a look at a video! Its a small shop with similar sq footage to what you had when you started your career. All the best.
Thank you for the comment. Best of luck with your channel. Keep chipping away.
Mike! I've missed your videos, great job as always!
Thank you.
I was getting worried about you. Welcome back, sir.
Much appreciated
Dude! My good man Mike! Speachless does do it justice. I lost count of the number of times during the watch that I thought of a nice comment, too old to keep up here, or you are just too pure. This is super well done, serves as an exaple to us all. To bring some cridibility to what I'm saying, an example is appropriate, I just can't narrow it down to pick one.
'Don't know where the name three piece grover comes from' was one of many that got me.
Ha! Thank you very much.
I think we all need a cigarette after that display of majestic brilliance. Whew, im spent! Nice going, Mike! Always delightful!
Haha! Thank you.
So nice when a plan come's togather so nicely!
Indeed.
Your fans miss you Mike! Thanks for putting this up. That shaper is pretty fancy btw, yes I am jealous much, thanks for asking!
Thank you.
Always a pleasure to see you grinding away in the boardroom...
Thank you.
Nice cabinet, Mike. It's good to see you again and even better that you haven't lost your unique sense of humor.
Bill
Thanks Bill.
Another awesome video!
When using firewood grade and dados, I add a second fence, held onto the fence one thickness off the bench top, and drive the cut piece underneath the second piece, as a method for holding down the cut edge over the blade.
That is a good idea.
Love that offset tip- excellent.
Thank you. That's a good one.
Love your work, and your videos are top notch! Listening gets me motivated to improve my shop. Even if I don't, your humor and attitude reminds me all can be right in the world.
Awesome! Thank you!
It is an overcast Friday here near Chicago and a new Mike Farrington video brings sunlight! Another amazing shop video.
Thank you very much.
Mike = Absolute legend!! 👍🏻
Thank you.
Totally agree with the Crocs comment!
We are of one mind on that subject.
Mike, To make the dado for the rails and styles for the doors, I picked up a, 8" x 1/4" single blade from Amana. IT IS MONEY!!! its exactly .250 thick. Love it.
Yes, I have one of those too. Totally awesome to have in the quiver.
Excellent video! Thanks for posting.
Thank you.
The cigarette joke was on point! I actually LOL'd
Ha! Great to hear.
I got so excited when I saw a new video from you! Love your channel, projects and your humor! One of the best on TH-cam!
Thank you.
Excellent video and good to see a new one.
Thank you.
The wealth of information that you bestow upon us is incredible!
Thank you.
Your tools are the envy of the world
Thank you.
Just the best woodworking channel! Love basking in the warm glow of your awesomeness Mike!
Wow, thanks!
Everything I needed on a Friday! Buying a new grinder this weekend, timely build, thanks for sharing!
Good timing.
The only thing worse than blowing a pin nail out of the wood is blowing a pin nail out of the wood and into your finger. Also, I have a Tormek and love it, but have to agree that there is absolutely nothing about their (very, very fine) equipment that's inherently self-explanatory. The edge it makes is worth it, though.
Love your shop projects!
Thank you. I agree on both accounts.
YAY!
Thanks Scott!
3:39 +1 for lath screws, they are great, I use them all the time for different projects.
An underrated screw for sure.
5 months.... happy to see you back!
Its good to be back.
So glad to see a naw video from one of the best TH-camrs in the business!!!
Thank you.
Yay new video!! Also I recently picked up the Wynn air filter and the blower to make one of your shop air cleaners. Tired of using the fan with filter taped to it and needed something that could handle more dust / larger area.
Good stuff. This is a giant improvement over the box fan setup.
Always enjoy your videos!
Thank you.
Tormek attachment for the grinder. This makes my wallet happy already having the cbn wheels and not wanting to buy a tormek also. THANK YOU!
Sounds like you are most of the way there. It's a really neat setup.
THOSE UNDERLINES WERE EXCESSIVELY DRAMATIC!
Ha! Yeah, a little over the top.
Top 1 woodworking channel.
Thank you.
Great video as always Mike!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video, as always!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mike Farrington - Jedi Master
Severely underrated
Under viewed?
Thank you very much.
Happy day when there's a new MF video/tutorial
I recommend revisiting some Kings X. Thats my music recommendation.
Thanks you. Great recommendation.
two sticks, one panel. ohhh baby!
Ha!
Nice to see u after long time mike
Thank you.
I think my favorite part of your videos is trying to guess which toll you're going to say is mighty. "The mighty [TOOL NAME]"! 😂 Keep up the great work!👍
Ha! Thank you.
Always a pleasure to watch and a few pro tips I really love so thanks.
Thank you.
Hahaha you got me rolling on the it's so satisfying you need a cigarette line 🤣 love your content as always!
Glad you enjoyed
Another awesome video by Mr. Farrington, the only thing missing was a music suggestion
Next one.
Another excellent video, Mr. Farrington. Of all the WW videos on youtube, yours are the best. "No dice, head lice". hahaha
Wow, thanks!
I'm glad to see you back. Thought you might have won the lottery 😉
I wish.
Great pro-tip in the beginning. And i say to myself:now why didn't I think of that! Well....cuz I'm not a pro. 😅
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!
Thank you.
Great video.
Thanks!
I believe it’s time for me to flyyyy 🎶
Little pitchy.
@@MikeFarrington sounded like an angel. lol. Sweet build too. Going to have to rethink my relationship with my grinder.
@@justincottingham3969 If thats what an angle sounds like... Yikes.
Love it!
Thanks!!
Ya Mike is back!! Can’t wait to watch it 0:02
Weee!
Heyyyyyyyy it’s been too long! Welcome back sir, hope all is well!
P.S. nice video and that shaper is pretty friggin sweet!
Thank you very much.
Hi Mike, nice project! I have the one way jig as well and it’s been great. I don’t like swapping out grinding wheels so I actually bought a second 8” variable speed grinder (I like the Delta) I’ll set up one with 2 CBN wheels and one with a standard wheel and wire wheel. I may super size a cabinet like yours and put them back to back. Love the organizers !
Good stuff.
Impressive 👏🏼
Thank you 🙌
Good to see you’re back.
Thank you. It's good to be back.
Great to see another video. And that was defo a pro tip!
Glad you liked it!
That test fit was definitely satisfying… my wife was suspicious of what I was watching when I started to moan a little…
Haha!
I use the same screws to hold my shop casters, but I'm too cheap to even use washers, ha!
Ha! I'm worried a screw alone will pull through.
I often buy my firewood from Home Depot! Every bit of their lumber is “firewood” rated. 😂👍🏻
So ture.
"If I had those tools I could do that too."
No, Chad, you couldn't. Can it. Sweet setup, Mike. It's invigorating watching someone who actually takes the time to fully understand his tools. Nicely done. Also, don't EVER stop telling your dry ass jokes. I'm chuckling like a fool over here. "Don't know where it got its name, but..."
Thank you. More dry dad jokes incoming...
I love your furniture builds, can you show more of those??
Yes, I have a few pieces planned after I get through a few other house/shop things.
Awesome video, i have a similar grinder and wheel and the one way system its really great.
Good stuff for sure.
I miss medium density Farrington. But firewood Farrington is cool too
Hmm, maybe time for a nickname change.
Pro tip for stiff cords: just leave them in the sun for a little bit and it will remove a lot of the memory in the cable
Yeah, that does help, but I think they should have used a better cord from the start.
Hi, missed you.
Thank you.
Coulda sworn I heard the crazy satisfied laugh @18:09
Funny you mention that. First you are correct, that is the crazy satisfied laugh. Good ear. I actually tried to isolate that sound, I was going to pepper it into all my videos when something cool happens. Problem was the mic didn't pick it up good enough. I spent like 20 minutes trying to dial that in.
Only those who have done precise joinery can appreciate how true your cigarette joke was.
Ha! Thank you.
My rule is simple: The only thing more dangerous that a dull tool, is the tool trying to use it. Nice job.
Yes! Good point.
Fantatsic work 😍😍
Thank you.
Looks like 020-1 RS on top of the sanding table!
I'm guessing you are well versed on entry mats?
I have the same grinder and have been wondering if it would accept the diamond wheels. Making a dedicated bench for it is also on my list of things to do. You gave me some ideas, thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
Yay! Welcome back
Thank you.
Hey Mike, so good to have you back. Great video as always! Quick question for you from a European viewer - on the setout square you were using, why does it have a zero (and arrow) aligning with the inner 5" mark on the wider leg and counting 'backwards' toward the leg junction?
P.s. croc haters only hate till they try them on for a while!
Agreed about the crocs. As to the square. I'm not sure, that is just how they printed the ruler. Maybe I put it in backwards? I never look at the numbers, only the tick marks.
Pleasure to watch!
Thank you.
@@MikeFarrington no, thank you - project videos like this are the best. Your talent, style and sense of humor make you one of the best!
@@jeffreysmith5018 You're too kind, thank you.
Honch was John’s partner on CHiPs
Ha! Totally.
