    I have a passion for building things out of wood and all things woodworking. I am always looking for new projects that look fun and challenging. My woodworking inspiration comes from my kids, my wife, and the forests around my house. I consider myself a serious hobbyist and I hope you can learn something and get inspired from the projects and mistakes that I make. I will also show you how I organize and work in my small shop in 1 bay of my garage.

    For anybody scoring at home: Carbon Method is $85 for .5 fl oz. CRC is $8.50 for 11 fl oz. Is the Carbon Method result 220X better than CRC? Doesn't look like it to me. All things considered, I think the clear winner, BY MILES, is the CRC.

    • @EveningWoodworker
      @EveningWoodworker  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      True, there is a pretty big price difference, but I didn't test it for slickness, so you might want to also topcoat the CRC with some Glidecote or something to reduce the stickiness.

    Brand new Sawstop, I wanted the best protection possible. Cleaned and applied carbon method exactly as instructed. Month later I picked up a small cut off from my table and it rusted underneath the cut-off. I contacted Carbon Method and they said that my wood must have been extremely wet. Not the case, it was kiln dried mesquite. BTW the cut off sat on my table for about 2 weeks. I expected Carbon Method to send me more product to re-apply, but that was not the case. Been talking with a metallurgist and I am going to “cold blue” my table. Great video

My table say is stained form previous corrosion but I started my band saw and jointer on carbon method the day i gat them in hte shop. Both are amazingly clean. It is expensive and is not a one and done coating. You must reapply regularly.

    Good test. I'd be interested to see how a less expensive ceramic coating would do in the same scenarios. I have used Boesheild T-9 and Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray coating, and haven't had any rust. However, I haven't let water sit on my tables saw, and I run a dehumidifier.

    • @EveningWoodworker

    You did a very thorough amount of testing there. Well done.
    I've got an ancient old Craftsman jobsite saw that I've been using for several years now. It had a pretty rusty top when I bought it. I just sanded it as clean as I could and then laminated the top with Formica. No more rust. Nice and slippery. And it's a light gray color, so it's easy on the eyes and easy to see anything laying on the surface. The only part I have to look after is the cross slide grooves, and that just gets a little light oil now and then.

    Great video. The key take away? Don't put wet things on your table saw. I use paste wax, but I re-apply it about every 10-20 hours of use. It's only 1-2 minutes of work. The frequent application might mean that the cost ends up being similar to Carbon Coat though.

    3-36 is great for garden tools and such. I think there should be a part 2 where you sand some wood next to it and attempt to measure dirt attraction. Then, use a scale to measure drag using the same weight and wood block from the wear test.

    @BobBob-eh5sb 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Interesting tests. I’ve been using Glidecoat by itself and have had good results. Of course I don’t set any drink containers on the saw. Worst thing I had happen was when the wife brought me a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch one day. It was on a paper plate on top of one of those plastic plate holders with the chicken wire, cheese grater looking bottom, and set it on the saw. It sat there a couple of minutes, maybe before I noticed it. Didn’t see any marks when I moved it, but the next day there was a nice impression of the cheese grater bottom, about the size of a slice of bread.
    Anyway, looks like the Glidecoat has gone up in price from what I remember when I last bought it. So between the CRC and the Carbon Coat, the CRC is about 8 times cheaper. I guess it would also depend on how many applications can be applied from each product and how long they last. The CRC looks to be an easier, quicker application and that’s a plus for me. I think I’d rather be able to do the quick spray and go, then periodically do the light sanding and respray than the Carbon Coat process and probably still end up sanding it on occasion. A lot comes down to whether your saw doubles as a workbench or is just used as a saw. The weather where you live also has an effect. If it’s high humidity, but not a huge shop, maybe get an air conditioner or a dehumidifier. I have about 450 square feet and have a small window unit, but I don’t run it all the time and all my cast iron tops are doing well.

    Interesting results from a very comprehensive set of tests. Are you going to use your test machine to remove the rust afterwards🤣

      Haha! It would work well in only very small sections...

    I've been using paste wax for a few years now. On all my cast iron surfaces. And I have a strict no metal, and no liquids on any of those table tops. I have no rust, and I only reapply maybe twice a year. Application process is less than 10 minutes for all the tops, and lasts easily past the 6 months I give it. Just don't put cups, soda cans, or random tools on your cast iron tops and none of this should be a problem. I can say without a doubt, a little bit of vigilance goes an extraordinarily long way. Take care woodworkers and fabricators.

      That's good advice! Vigilance is key with any method.

      Okay maybe "a bit" was a stretch! I was just trying to focus on performance though.

    I think testing with plain water is not far enough. Try something that will mimic sweat.

      Oh man, now I need to try and capture my sweat!?

    Carbon Method is WAY too expensive. Just not worth it. Paste wax works great if you reapply every month or so - and it's cheap. CRC look interesting - I wonder if it is slick like a wax?

      @EveningWoodworker  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's one thing I didn't test, but you could always add some Glidecote or wax on top

    I used the carbon method and applied it correctly and I was less than impressed with the results

    Any method is better then nothing. CM is nice but Price along with time to apply just doesnt add up in my book.

    • @EveningWoodworker
      @EveningWoodworker  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, something is definitely better than nothing, and it seems like each product has a specialty... If you can afford CM, it is great, but if not, there are other options too
