My daughter does complain when I don’t do the voices right either. Thanks for reminding me that I’m in one of the most enjoyable and memorable moments with my kids. It also feels fun to read a total of ~30 books in a month. Where it takes me 30 days to read other books

Whoa! I made it to a 1000. Yeah I need to update this channel on more trash-smithing projects

It’s one of my favorite tools to use. The simplicity is what helps

@@wafflebeaver yea! easy to clamp and easy to release 🔥

I think they’re about 300 grams now. I started making the handles a bit different. I’ve been selling a few of them on my website wafflebeaver.com but I’m out of stock currently

I support this message and I’m also adding an additional 6” ac infinity fan to help me control the smoke

Yes it's used with a 110v outlet. I'm not exactly sure if it has less power if used with a 220v input, theoretically, it shouldn't. I think this is the simplest way to convert a delta lathe to variable speed next to getting a new DC motor with power supply. Right now, a DC motor for equivalent power is more expensive

Thank you Jesper. It's taken me too long to make this workbench video but there's a lot of workbench videos out there... Now I should edit all the other hours of footage I've accumulated

You can and should. This audio on RUclips shorts is crazy bad. I should probably delete and reupload haha

What's funny is that the chip filled door is something I thought I would change. A year later, and I'm seeing some benefits of using a door. I might make my next bench using a door as a top. The chip filled material helps to absorb some impact.

You recognized Liszt and I barely used the popular parts. This winter I can build the gate. Maybe Freevo will help me

You are building that life! Your polar bear lifestyle seems pretty enjoyable as long as you can handle the cold. I'll blame Keith for all the things

@@wafflebeaver 😂😂 need some work to really enjoy it. it’s hard to enjoy the hard parts.

@@Hatchmade you ever think that building the life is the enjoyable part? Stressful and painful at times, but probably memorable.

@@wafflebeaver True. But the irony often is the enjoyable part is remembering the hard parts.

@@Hatchmade haha and it's tough to recognize what you'll think is funny in 10 years

I hope you share it soon too! I'm looking forward to seeing how you use that workbench. Figuring out what's worth building has been a fun thing for me to ponder.

That's not true. Mistakes are reminders. The story of the workbench will only grow. Your mini bench has an origin like it was spawned from hell. It'll be neat to see it make beautiful things. Your story telling and editing is next level man! I'm looking forward to seeing the next one.

I think this might be a 5 year workbench at least. Main thing is that it's heavy and sturdy. The holdfast have allowed me to not need a vice too.

So it's just a matter of picking something to build?

@@wafflebeaver I wish. Part motivation/willpower/discipline, part time constraint, part bad setup. There are things I’m motivated about at 10am while working that I don’t have the motivation or energy to do by the time I’m off work. I don’t have a space setup to work in so I can’t just stroll in and start on most things, though some things like leather I could still do and generally don’t. Part of the space issue can be solved for things that won’t create dust or fumes, but require time and effort to clear/vacate/organize. So instead I’m here typing a comment on RUclips.

@@weideworks well I'm glad your wasting time with me on my comments section haha, but I'm looking forward to seeing you make small strides towards building anything you want. Maybe start real small? Like get rid of stuff and let me know how you feel after that

@@wafflebeaver Makes sense. I'm working on the "office" of inherited crap. Even one of our couches was inherited when a friend had to vacate their premise super fast to move where a dying family member needed care. But we'll get there. Gimme 7 months and I think I can be in a workshop watching Waffle Beaver videos making a versatile workbench to create RUclips content on.

That's a better description than dumpster diver which I used to be offended by

You want to build Instagram?

Or do you actually mean you want more kids?

Thanks Shawn. What are you building next?

@@wafflebeaver currently I’ve been playing a lot of chess with my kids. Not sure probably the chessboard is next though. Just taking a breather for a minute.

@@Shawnbbeckner you might as well but all those chess pieces you made to work on a board you made. Kind of reminds me of the ol' Steve Ramsey chess thing

You kind of build everything already though

@@wafflebeaver living the dream

Is that what you want to make? Or are you talking about your upcoming baby?

If you're a tool maker, I think you kind of need to be interested in both the thing and the process right? Making tools is real fun!

Thanks! I've been eating super cheap. I think the key to getting the salad to be more filling is the cashews!

Thanks. I do like these a lot. This style of handle seems to be more durable too, it's just so much work to make this way...

Thanks Jer. I think I'm going to try and plastic weld the joints together. I'm afraid it'll looks bad though

It's been a little more than a year now and nothing has exploded still. So I guess it's still looking good haha. It blows my mind that more people dont use VFDs more

I think a full video might be only a few minutes... Not much to it. Just pick better grain selection, drill a hole at an angle and find a 3/4" bolt for the stem.... I guess the hardest part that would need some explaining is the wood selection

This is actually a recycled holdfast haha. The wood is from a pallet 4x4 and the bolt is from reuse Hawaii. So cheap.... I think they only cost me like $.75 a bolt. But I'll be using nicer wood and a different foot on the next one.

Yeah there are many variations too. I'll make a few more because having a few hold fast is really nice.

Also, I think this form of friction clamp has actually been around for 1000s of years. So simple

Your a pretty good trash-smither yourself

Its actually called capybarra

I should really look up the translation to the words of this song. I find this capybara song super catchy haha

I've been thinking about getting a 3 phase motor that runs at 3450 rpms for my tablesaw. A 1 HP motor might be overkill for a 8" delta tablesaw though

Haha I cut it in half because I figured I could get two threaded beavers from one cylinder. I haven't made these in a while and I think I need to get back to it. A solid threaded piece of HDPE holds up well in this type of threaded/compression form. Also seems to do well with vibrations

For question 01. I don't have a 3d printer, but from my experience most 3d filaments are too weak. I think HDPE is barely strong enough so I started reinforcing with some stainless steel all thread. For question 2: I reuse asuch scraps as possible so shavings are easier to collect and reuse. Sandpaper will make the plastic into microscopic particles which I'm also trying to avoid breathing. Good questions and let me know if you have more questions

It's really easy as long as you make sure the grain direction in the wood is correct.

I'm getting better at turning. The wand is more possible now

@@wafflebeaver hahaha yes!

Thank you

Thank you! I need to update this vide as there is an easier way to make a mallet as well

It's not too bad to build a gun. A lot easier than making other things haha

The exit hole is kind of there from the screws but I would add more exit holes on the next mold. Also, I like high heat silicone as a mold. You can use any heat to melt plastic, I would just recommend being prepared to lose your cooking tools to just plastic. Also, I recommend using a good respirator and ventilation

Do you have your avid running? I'll send you a link to the SVG file

@@wafflebeaver absolutely! Still cutting a ton of sheet goods

I didn't know that was available for capacitor start motors. Has that always been available?

I did do a quick search and still couldn't find one...
