I see here the perfect argument for the new workshop : "listen honey you see that i can’t work in normal condition around here… i truly need this backyard shop i’ve be talking about!"
Damn, looks like my basement. Mine only smaller. Never have enough glue clamps.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who mumble-talks to the wood, the tools, and myself. I swear a lot more, though.
Those are some nice slab table tops James. For a minute there I thought you were making a huge split top table. I think you need a bigger shop.
PS. Your shop looks like about the same organized chaos as mine. Have a great week.
Any particular reason you clamp the table top in the vise for jointing the edges, rather than clamp it to the face of the bench? Standing on that stool seems a good way to lose power and risk falling over when jointing a long edge.
You should have a plumber come out and check your feet, they look clogged.
I cut a straight line. Well, it was a straight line on the side of the board I was looking at. It was slanted and wandered like a drunken sailor on the other side. I admire your skills, but it is to the table saw if I want a straight cut on both the facing side and the other for me.
Clamps.. never enough, unless you’re looking for a place to park your thingymebob for a bit, then those stupid clamps are in the way again. So any n clamps is 1 clamp short of what you need and n-1 too many at the same time.
They must have fallen out of the Tardis some time ago..
It’s a fact of nature. You can never have enough clamps. 😂 so true!
Something relaxing about watching a card scraper in action. Nice work James!
Buck saw the trend.
This is hilarious.
Funniest thing I’ve seen in years!
Good laughs, thank you.
You sure can split a pencil line. Kudos
Your skill is worth the comment to help the algorithm.
Red Oak! The choice of your Dad for sure!
Pretty!! ❤️😁
Inspiring stuff!
Seems like mostly good choices in this one.
Мастер наверное очень любит голубой цвет 👍👍👍🇹🇷
Watching you work is pure torture
A braver man than I to stand on a wooden stool in wooden shoes while holding a sharp tool.
I really like the format. I’m happily a combination woodworker, but enjoy seeing your skill in a cliff notes package that I can watch when I happen across some free time. Keep up the great work!
This is fantastic work, and great pleasure to watch. Not trying ot be obtuse, but your plane irons sound like they could use some sharpening. Or is it the nature of working with red oak? I’ve been mainly working with cherry adn some walnut, and the harmonics sounded a bit off. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Does each video take a month to make?
Harbor freight does have f style bar clamps that are long I really love cause how light they are, I can put several on one side without it tipping 😂 compared to other brands
Parallel clamps are not well suited to extreme forces necessary for laminating strength. They have other uses, for minor bench holding, and for keeping ends of boards together. Large G clamps or sliding Bessey clamps exert much more pressure.
Just watched an older video of yours where you showed the Stanley 45. I have one I would like to sell. It probably needs a fine tuning, but it is all in there. Also have two older planes I would include. If you know someone looking for one just let me know. I would like to trade for a Triton Router 1.2 HP 880 amps. Probably an unusual request, but that is how we get anywhere in life. You probably don’t know but I have been a long- time subscriber.
Good video, but I am still expecting some explanation about the bad choises 🤔
I love the sound of hand saws in the afternoon. 👌🏼
the ones with the board
I work in my shop by myself.
Sometimes it’s good to work with someone.
Then I turn on a Wright video
Watching that first glue up, I was thinking "how does he put that much glue on both sides & not have a slippy mess of extra glue pour out when he’s clamping?"…then I saw.
That first glue up had more drips than a toddler’s ice cream cone on a hot day! 😀
if your wife is doing all the editing and shooting she’s getting damn good at this. whats crazy is the only thing i’ll buy from harbor freight is clamps lol. i accumulated quite a few ratcheting clamps. its either $4 at hf or … $33 at lowes/home depot 🤔
damn I love frame saws
I love the thumbnail with the sparkle on your clogs!
Pretty amazing work, James! 😃
I’m really curious to see the joinery you’re going to use!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
What were the bad choices?
Have you seen the enhancement Paul Sellers makes to those HF clamps by cutting stock to size and inserting them in the clamps’ channels? Worked amazingly well for me.
Also as soon as you said red oak, I felt like a dog with its hackles raised in response to a threat. I’d rather work Hickory.
Not gonna lie, I assumed you were gonna break the table top when you got on top of it because of the video title.
Great content!
Why not move the bar clamps to near the edge, and use them as the cauls… and you can buy 4x4s…. you wear my out just watching you saw boards…
James,
H.F. tools get all of us started, no shame, but that ugly plane with a lazy low blade now that is pure shame.
Hope the rest of the build videos are posted soon, please.
Oh, yeah. You totes need a bigger shop.
how much actual time passed in the first 1:44 of this video? keep up the good work!
En lo personal, aprecio tanto la calidad de tu trabajo como tu sentido del humor. La alegría de crear le agrega valor al proyecto.
I have never used a card scraper, is there a chance that it could make a small "bowl" if it isn’t held right, or hits a soft spot in the wood?
what’s the blue wood clamps info could you send me that?
8 legs, 8 skirts, 8 tops. A lot of work.
Female Spyder?
I agree with this table.
