I like their meals, the smoothies I can live without. Did not like.
Been using Factor for years.
These are my favorite types of projects. They have instant payoff, and they continue to be enjoyed every time you're in your shop.
I love how optimistic the without a dumb sign has 2 digits!! We all live through that struggle!!
There is no joy like the joy of solving a shop problem.
Thanks for the video!
I would turn the back of that cabinet into the sawblade storage, save the drawer... I made my sawblade storage out of oak dowels and blocks set at an angle so they don't slip off.
Have a great week!
That drawer software is going to be a game changer for some people!
check it out - you can design a full kitchen in about 15min - crazy easy
LOL @ 19:27 - the sound that goes along with the button press is perfect.
BTW building something upside down is something I do all the time, and I think your 9 day streak is quite impressive.
@1:10 I’ve heard that he even does his own stunts!
Absolute legend.
13:21 that happy feeling when a plan comes together. I have that same laugh when it actually works!
This was a great video! I love working on a project, but shop infrastructure projects are my favorite days 😊
"I have to work upside down...like a chump" lol, chucklehead!
is no one going to talk about the shot in the ad! he gave himself a drink and he picked it up! it was seamless! assuming he shot himself put down the drink and left the drink there while he shot the right side of the ad. he masked the drink in post until the reveal. great job
This is one of my favorite videos of yours and given me A LOT of inspiration! Thank you and well done!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I built Michael's version of the cabinet and one thing I failed to consider was knob on the tilt mechanism. I flew a little too close to the sun and it was difficult to operate. I was able to find a shorter spinning knob that fit though and that made it work a lot better without having to nudge it over.
Thanks for sharing. I love seeing how you figure out how to integrate additions to existing fixtures. I always learn something from you .
Nothing like the joy of figuring out a problem and the solution working as you envisioned!. Great vid. Love the humor.
Thanks for the tutorial! I had some free time and a bunch of scrap wood looking for a home, so I made the side off-cut storage bin from this video. Works like a champ!
5:10 I recently tried to climb up on one of my workbenchs and very quickly learned the benefits of a step stool.
This video was suggested to me because I have been looking for modifications to my table saw. Really enjoyed your presentation and style. And you sealed the deal with the "days of dumb" sign. THat was hysterical! Got yourself a sub
First video of yours that has come up. I very much appreciate your humour. Watching it made me think that I ought to spend a couple of days doing nothing in my shop but resolving the pains that I’ve got; live with but curse at daily. Mine are different to yours but that’s not the point.
A couple of days? I’ll be lucky. I can only work in short periods now (an hour in the shop and then rest; back to the shop and then rest etc.) that everything takes so long and I’ve got a backlog of urgent, critical and life-threatening jobs to do. Weekends are spent on machine maintenance, sharpening and cleaning.
I’ve got the same under table saw storage solution as you made. However, in other parts of my shop, I have used office desk pedestals that can be got very cheap second hand. With the price of decent plywood, they can be bought a lot cheaper than you could make them.
DUDE!
That was the best video cut ive ever seen where your fake twin brought the smoothie.
I blew it up on the big screen in high resolution and I cant see how you did that.
Oh oh oh!! I'm totally going to have to try that Inventables software!!
You need to get with Discovery Channel and get a show of your own. Your content, off beat humor and editing is just so entertaining and enjoyable! 😂😂😂
Great video. So well done and produced. You can see the effort put into the video, much like the effort put into the builds themselves. Awesome designs and fab. That cabinet software is killer. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thanks!
Just found your channel... What a treat! :P
Love the humor and the ingenuity.
You, sir, have won my subscription.
Shop upgrades are some of my favorite projects. Well done.
Great ideas/solutions. Don’t forget #5, picking up the numbered circles you threw around the shop…… lol
You've given me some ideas to make my table saw more enjoyable. Love the jokes. My wife is in the next room reading and she wants to know what the heck is so funny. We have exactly the same sense of humor.
You never fail to make my day better. You are so darn smart. But the best part is you never fail to make me laugh. Today of all days, I really needed that!
Very nice solutions to your problems
Aww, I was secretly hoping that "rethinking the table saw noise" would also be on the list. Nice upgrades though!
Beautiful, functional and shiny ! 😌
I just installed the outfeed table in my saw stop. I immediately noticed the same problem that you did. I used some Velcro straps to hold the legs in place. But I like your magnet solution better.
Desucking projects are so extremely gratifying. I keep a running list of things to tackle, and whenever i get stuck on a project or am extremely uninspired i just do something on the list for an instant dopamine hit.
Great work, and a well put together video 😊
Wesley, These are incredible adaptations for the saw! Super ideas! Thanks for sharing!
More of this kind of videos please! I actually liked it!
I love problem solving like this.
The cat sound. I was hysterical.... Had to watch it 5 times or 20 ! Love your stuff & the humor !
I'm honestly astonished that improvements #2 and #3 were not factory standard.
Tiny additions, huge improvements, and wouldn't be expensive to add to the manufacturing process.
I have to do some of these. The wasted space under the extension table has always bothered me. I really like a chest of drawers under it. Good video!
I don't care if you eventually run out of upgrades to make in your shop. Upgrade your upgrades, I don't care! I like these videos!
😃
Haha, yes. When all of your upgrades are done, you can always add in some walnut trim somewhere.
Well now I gotta get an X-Carve Pro. That software is slick!
All great, and simple upgrades. Adding that extra space on the back was brilliant. Maybe add a fixed panel area on the bottom to clear the hose, and then a couple of doors to close it off and use it to store larger things like a cross-cut sled. The only other thing I'd do is add some supports for the table top to the top of the cabinet, to replace the legs you removed.
Thanks. Yes, the table will rest on the cabinet.
@@WesleyTreat I'm assuming you just ran out of time to detail the supports you mentioned before removing the legs.
Loved this video. Nice customization for your table saw. Hope you get some red wheels soon.
I really like this cabinet idea - I have the same saw and looking for ideas. Subscribed!
This is great, I'm thinking of getting a sawstop and I'll likely do some similar things. Thanks for the excellent ideas!
Looks great
11:23 I don't know how you knew but you did 😂
Connecting the dust collector to the table saw to move around is something I've never seen before! thanks for the idea!!
The best thing about a dust collector is that it still collects dust even if you never use it. I haven't been in my shop all summer and there's a thick layer of dust on mine.
I didn’t cringe when you drilled into your table saw castor mount for your cut off collector, but when it looked like you drilled a hole through the swivel portion, I had to laugh, now you own that!
Cracking projects Wesley! I’m right behind you on keeping accessories with the tool. Also, can thoroughly recommend Omnicastors for movable things.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Shows what can be done with planning and skill.
Thought: Could the space behind the drawerr cabinet be used for a different dust collector that fits the space? Letting you use the existing one as a general workshop portable?
It would have to be a very small one.
12:12 I've got that same Craftsman vise (well I've got my own, not the same one). It was my dad's I've used it my entire life. I used it to sight in my BB gun. And to hold my bike wheel for repairs when I was a kid. So now it sits in my shop.
Yep, my dad had it when I was a kid. 👍
@@WesleyTreat I’ve got a lot of tools from my dad, grandparents, and father-in-law. They are all special to me.
Great build !
Great show! 👍
Ok, so NOW I get the numbers! Nice improvement, Wesley.. Oh, and #ShoosmithSighting. Scott
Pure brilliance!
Brilliant!
Neat!
I would go as far as to say, "if you haven't modified it, you haven't really used it!" 😎
I love that cabinet software!
Did you end up leaving the table extension over the cabinet cantilevered? It looks like you didn’t add any support after you removed the legs, but couldn’t tell for sure.
Yeah I expected some kind of bracing between the table extension and the cabinet
I'm adding a shim underneath, but most of the strength in the table comes from the large pieces of angle along the front and back. I'm not sure those legs even did much with this short a table.
Entertaining and educational as always, from the Breaking Bad reference to the minor panic when I thought that you were going to tackle Pain Point 4™ before you had done Pain Point 3™
Very much enjoyed this! Thank you sir may we have another?
Great shop projects!
I loved the engineering on number three.
Thanks for this video. The little things are such a pain.
The Sam Rockwell 'Moon" joke was brilliant!
Man I love these ideas. I've been planning on doing something like Michael Alm for the storage idea, but I have a router table/dust collection on mine, but I'm going to copy your idea about removing the legs and adding that outcut box as well..LOVE IT! Thank you!
Very nice upgrades.
Great mod.s! That cabinet software from Inventables looks awesome. And I'm right there with you on your OCD non-matching castors. I would have been on Amazon in a flash to get four matching ones, no matter how unnecessary. 😥
Projects like this is where true human creativity and innovation shines. How do I make this easier and suck less. For example, walking and running to get everywhere sucks. Let's tame horses and ride them since they are way faster and better at it. Horses suck, let's use an engine to make this stagecoach move on its own! That sucks and needs roads still and even steam boats are to slow. Being on the ground also sucks, so we are going to figure out how to fly!
You see where this can go, but it can be something simple, like just wanting to hold a piece of metal better while blacksmithing. This need resulted in one of the most useful tools that is in almost every toolbox in one form or another: vice-grips. Simple, effective, and like the crescent wrench, not the right tool, but good enough to be the right now tool.
you could use that space in the back of the drawers as storage for spare bandsaw blades
Not a bad idea 👍
Excellent video
Ive bing watched the livin hell outa your channel and, thi my sides hurt i xant stop lol are you my brother? 🤣😂💚🤗
4:40 This is the kind of task for which self-taping, self-drilling screws were designed 🙂
this is the first video of yours that I've watched. you are sick. so I subscribed.
Shop upgrades. My favourite. One note, could have made the base for the cabinet longer and have the dust collector sit on it eliminating a couple castors and the floating attachment point.
I need to be able to detach the vac and roll it outside to empty it. It gets pretty heavy when it's full. Plus, combined with the cabinet, you'd be talking about a lot of mass extended very far away from the base. That's a lot of leverage on the attachment points when I'm moving it.
@@WesleyTreat ahh. Didn’t think about having to empty it 🙄
You’re ingenious as always
Holy frogs you even make me like to watch the info-mercials 😮
I think number 3 is my favorite solution!
Hey Wesley! Great video and well-engineered / executed solutions per usual! I don't own a SawStop (yet), so I don't know how important the metal support legs are to keeping the table supported and plumb. The new drawer cabinet you built doesn't appear to engage with the horizontal table when the saw is lowered onto it's legs. Could you / should you add support blocks on top of the cabinet that align with the guide rails for the fence?
Thanks, yes the cabinet will help support the table. There's always more to be done.
I got a couple of those pads because i hated working on anything around the driveway (be it gardening, tinkering on the car, anything) as its exposed aggregate and kills your flesh.
Now i use them everywhere.
Be grateful your able to move at all. I got Bone Cancer at 32 and I have been permanently disabled ever since. I would give anything to be able to walk again and ever mote to be able to buiild things again. So just remember you maybe getting ilder but you are WAY better off than I am and I just turned 40. So I watch budeos like your to wonder what my life would be like if I didnt have a useless broken body. I envy you. Keeo up the videos.
"If you can't modify it, you don't really own it." Spitting truth.
You can modify the folding outfeed further so it lays flush with the back of the saw when folded down.
I've been meaning to do that for a long time. Ostensibly, you can adjust the brackets so it clears, but I've never gotten it to work. I just need to dismantle it and cut the tubes shorter.
Clone jokes❤. The cabinet software is freaking awesome 👏
Looks like good progress. Isn't that blade height adjustment wheel going to be hard to use now?
Thanks! Blade height is on the front. The side is angle, but there's still plenty of room.
Cool ideas. I just subscribed.
You should get a real filter for dust collector
Followup - project idea... How about making a table or desk with 'plywood strips. Cut a nicer plywood into strips, then turn edgewise up and glue to make a 'slab' and cut/shape to a table or desk top. I made a nice coffee table that way... has a nice 'striped' effect on top. I have been thinking of even 'steaming' the strips and making a 'wavy' pattern.
If you haven't seen Michael Alm's work, you should check out what he does with patterned plywood. 👍
I’ve been brainstorming a cabinet to go under my Sawstop as well. Did you decide not to support the extension table? I’m not sure if I need to put little legs on top of the cabinet or something…
There will be a support on top of the cabinet, but first there's a detail I need to rectify with the bolts that previously held the legs. Those bolts also fastened the extension to the support angles.
"If you can't modify it, you don't really own it". Bravo.
What did you do to fill the space between the top of the cabinet and underside of outfeed table, to allow the cabinet to actually support the table?
There will be a support
I enjoyed the video, good ideas. One suggestion, I would paint both the cabinet and wood storage Box.
They'll get a couple coats of @TotalBoat Halcyon 👍
“You don’t really own it” great quote!
Off cuts always come in handy
Love the Days without a dumb-sign.
Ugh.... If only I could figure out how to build robots to transport my molds to their home base after I've used them. And clean off the dried resin bits. And empty my constantly overflowing trash can. 😂
One more thang 😊 i like your boots, hell id wear them to a wedding
