What’s your opinion on a power planer for this purpose? In particular, stripping paint or anti-mould treatment from hardwood posts or sleepers. A belt sander will do the job but create a lot of fine dust. This custom planer will avoid all the dust but it will be hard work on a big post. Seems like a power planer might be a great option for the initial stripping, to hog out fast without the fine dust?

Cambered irons on a bench plane? 🤢🤮 Belt sanders have their limitations, but Lordy if you think defiling a hand plane iron in this way is the solution you’ve got issues! 😂

Very interesting! As an German I thought the slottet screw was the first screw - and I hate that screws. Nowadays TORX are the best.

May I have your e-mail pls?Just for some tech questions. Thanks!

How many of the 40000 table saw accidents each year are caused by kickback? I don’t know, but I would guess it’s a majority percentage. Sawstop technology, while an important development, doesn’t correct that.

"Always read, understand and follow the instructions in your owner's manual. Knowing how to use your tools properly greatly reduces your chance of injury" ~ Norm Abrams. So go ahead and attach an 18-inch lawn mower blade in gut cutter mode the manual says you should. LOL

YES! This regulation has been a long time coming

I work as a firefighter, across the road is a sawmill. They have a giant RAS they use daily. We sit outside the station and when that thing is running you can hear the blade whining from 600 feet away. The way that thing rings going through the 6x6 mine timbers is awesome. But when they get a new guy running it, they tend to hog it into the timbers. Sometimes it trips a breaker, other times we hear it pull down. As it is pulling down, we hear "Blam!!" Timber hitting the steel building. That is followed by workers yelling. We look over to see dust falling off the entire building. About once a year they will walk the guy over to us with his hand smashed by the flying timber. We call an ambulance and wrap the hand. The steel roof and walls in line with the blade are full of 6x6 or larger holes.

When I was a boy growing up in the '70's I built a LOT of balsa wood airplanes. Guillows kits and lots of planes I designed myself. I inhaled so much fine balsa sawdust! Anecdotal, I know, but let me tell you, I'm over 60 and I have no problems. Early this year I won US Long Track Speed Skating National Championships in the 60-64 age class. Yeah, my dust inhalation did not prevent me from winning in an aerobic sport. I say relax.

I’m gonna start looking at flea markets for a #5 plane (nice beard).

Uh... Screwing wood together?

Screw the government

Robertsons or tork ? Which is the best ?

6:16 but what is the filtration level of compressed beard hair? lol semi-serious question

I use JIS drivers on my philips screws. It feels like a cheat code

whatr about ceramic guides

Canadian here. Robertson ftw!

I'd have no problem with this being mandated and I'd willingly pay extra if it didn't require consumables. The cost of a false positive is not going to be free Hopefully the other manufacturers figure out a better way or else we'll quickly see people circumventing these things, just like we do with CO sensors on generators.

I just built this but made it frameless and cut my doors to the size at the end so far it's pretty sturdy. I used some rubber door stoppers to ensure the cart doesn't roll by itself I did notice the washing machine can vibrate the doors open. I think I will try and install a magnetic catch to help that Or next time try using soft close drawer slides (those only have 100 lb weight capacity though) since they require a bit of force to open at first

What happened to the old tale that they are large particles and get caught in the upper raspatory track, I remember IBM use tell Technicians that about copier Toner dust when you went home a blew your nose and it would come out Black from toner dust. Either way it's most likely not good for you & the less you inhale the better you will be for it. Life is finite & an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Hey @StumpyNubs, you forgot to mention that the saw blade needs to be flat top grind (FTG) !

Thanks

Point is well taken about the blade guard. There is always someone that does not see the whole picture. Thanks for always providing informative and helpful videos.

As an American I've been using a square bit for at least 5 years now, since it never strips out. Unfortunately, my local Home Depot no longer sells Robertson-style deck screws and I'm forced to keep recycling old screws over and over.

I thought long and hard about what dust collection system I should use despite just being a hobbyist. The conclusion I came to is about the same as this video. No dust collection system on its own is enough. Therefore a mask is still a crucial part of safety equipment. And since I'm not making my living off woodworking I can just work on projects for short periods of time and ventilate the room in the interim. As with anything it's a good idea to take breaks as frequently as possible.

My Dad had to retire being a cabinet maker in his midlife years, due to wood alergies specficially pine and blackwood this would cause him to have severe asthma atacks or his skin to flair up. He often would turn on his Water filtered spray booth, and exhaust fans. He had large dust collectors on all his machines. We put it down more to Partical board and MDF and the glues at the time. But Masks are super important and most likely his no1 contribution to his problem as he often was under the pump and forget to put on a mask. I often blew the dust off my 3M masks every half an hour or so depending if I was sanding, cleaning etc.

Needs more Canadian jokes

I read the title and assumed California was up to its silly antics again.

Hmmm screws, food, cars, peace its quite a list

Loving the beard!

I like my belt sander just fine. I cannot afford a nice, stationary, oscillating belt sander like yours. 😉

i find that my belt sander is the perfect tool for cambering my plane irons

Great video. I want to build this and having the plans would be very help. I'm happy to buy the plans but I can't find the link to make the purchase. Thank you!

I also hate belt sanders - haven't used one in 20 years. Hand planes just work better for many tasks. While there is a learning curve it isn't as large as many people think and they don't have to be fussed over nearly as much as several youtubers say -

Yeah, at my old job the ancient table saw they had broke down, just as saw stop came out. We forced our boss to get a saw stop table saw, cue many complaints about cost and excess. Then he used it and he was in awe at how nice it was. Three years later after I had moved on he calks me up and takes me to a nice restaurant for dinner, the saw had saved his hand during a moment of inatention.

If you are going to have something on your face anyway, why not come up with a regulator that works the same as with SCUBA. Or even a small " spare air "Tank that could be supported fully by the mouth with no problem. This would work with any kind of facial hair as well.

I used to make doors like this 15 years ago but it took 2 spindle moulders and 3 different cutters. I'm going to be looking at these cutters as my own workshop is at least 10 times smaller than the joinery shop I used to work in

Would this work with a 15mm (5/8") bit or is that too big?

Thank you Sir again 🎉

Hum... Then that means I've been using water on my oil stone... Water is not a bad lubricant (it's good enough for me) and I don't always have a proper oil availabe, so... I'll keep using water on my oil stone 😅

HF tools are useful for sure

I live in Europe. I have never heard of or seen Robertson screws. And I have worked with Phillips screws for so long, that I hate them from the bottom of my heart! Torx system for the win!

That heap shown in front of Mt Baker at 0:48 is probably chips for making paper, not sawdust!

Everything in moderation including moderation…..riiiiiigt whiskey 🥃 and steak 🥩?😋

I prefer star or hex screws

You: talking about primarily furniture making and adjacent/(fine) woodworking. Buncha people being defensive here: but what about carpentry? I can't. Just can't

Looks like a fine picture frame as well

Can I use my belt sander to shape my iron?

Oh snap, I thought Your name _"Stumpy Nubs"_ meant You're like every Wood-Shop Teacher I had in Elementary & High School with missing fingers.

Philips screws suck, cannot handle too much torque and round off easy. Long live Robertsons
