VPI Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 He is just Polish. He intends to install about 700 outlets as far as I can tell, even though I only asked for 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted February 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Will the other 696 outlets also be within 2' of the panel? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naamanf Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Why didn’t he just install them in the breaker panel? Nobody cares about code and he could have saved you $23.95. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Fancy. One wall is done in the garage. I now have 23 outlets on that one wall, where I had 2 to begin with. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Figured out I am just as bad at bandsawing as I am at the other sawings. Tried to build this but found even with the 1/4” blade I could not cut smooth curves like the YouTube guys. Also managed to combine CA glue and wood glue when mounting the handle, then walked away without cleaning up squeeze out and left myself with a glue line I cannot manage to sand or chisel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I like the vaguely Flintstones feel to it. 🥴 I'm amazed by the difficult projects you decide to take on as your first attempt to use a tool or learn a skill. I haven't even attempted a curve on my bandsaw let alone a complicated curved box. Give yourself some time to practice before deciding you aren't good at it, and maybe pick something easier to start off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Flintstones indeed! I bet you would get much better the second time. I find my bandsaw is hard to use as well - depending on the blade width I have and what I am trying to do, it’s not as easy as it looks (a smaller scroll saw always seemed to work better).

VPI Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I do not think I had the tension quite right, as it seems to be witchcraft of pushing hard, but not too hard, and seeing if it moves more than a 1/4”. Very scientific. I am also trying to figure out the euro style guides as they have so much give, it just does not seem they can provide the same stability as the typical bearings or ceramic blocks.

VPI Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Looks like the issue with the SawStop was more than just power. Getting the same alert periodically and going through tests for SS. They are sending a new brake as that is evidently the brains of the whole system and I am trying to loosen and blow out a circuit board that is mounted somewhere that needs Festool hands to reach and the Anti-Brent head to even get in there and see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Today’s bandsaw box. Before and after a mineral spirits wipe down. Cannot come up with a proper knob that does not impact the continuous grain. Any ideas? I am working on a detachable rare earth magnet solution now but it is kind of clunky having to keep a Wenge knob/magnet lying around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Yeah, a thin pull strip of leather, wood or metal on the bottom would probably be the best bet as that will also lift it up a bit to get more uniform kerf lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 While it has a lot of goofiness. I am actually enjoying Jimmy Diresta’s new Netflix show. Interesting problem solving and builds at the demands of children’s plans. One of the OGs of YouTube woodworking and his goofy friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I had previously talked about the bookstore I'm working on. It's almost open for business and I thought I'd show a few of the projects. The shelves are all solid Cyprus. The boardwalk in the back is Redwood, as is the planter/benches. I didn't build the shed, but had to completely dismantle, move and reassemble it. Honestly, it would have been easier to just build a new one. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
