@denisdelaquis1174 It definitely served it's purpose 😀 It would be nice to have an industrial size vertical system for large builds, but it does the job for the small stuff 👍🏻

@AtarahWeb Unfortunately I haven't used many other lasers. If you are looking to engrave only and do no imagery, a cheap 50w - 100w Co2 laser would do the trick. I would look for a laser that had a control panel that could at least run "Lightburn" software. Standalone machine programs can be a pain.

@@mcdonoughdesign Thank you for your time

Hi mate. That's just the way the blank stock is. I don't add any clear coat. I just buff them a little once they're done 👍🏻

Thanks man. Oh really? I haven't checked in a while. That's cool. 1000 was a goal of mine for last year. Better late than never hey? 🤣

Thanks mate. Just trying some new things. Glad you enjoyed 🤙🏼

Thank you so much. I am trying to find the time to make some more videos...What type of videos would you like to see?

@@mcdonoughdesign I love to see pieces done with stringing lay and decorative inlay. I love that sort of thing.

Sorry ,,, string inlay

@thomaskuzia8125 Ah lovely stuff. I've not done too much inlay stuff but I might have to look into that 👍🏻

@@mcdonoughdesign I'll be 80 years old in May and I just started woodworking about four or five years ago. I love seeing the pieces with inlay and I made a few of my own. It's quite satisfying. Try it before you get too old. Lol

The clamps in this video are double clutch pipe clamps from Timbecon. I'll try do a link below. All the other bits and pieces were purchased from Bunnings. www.timbecon.com.au/torquata-double-clutched-pipe-clamp-pipe-included

Cheers mate. Does the job for what I needed it for 👍🏻

It did the job at the time with the space that I had 😀 was able to glue up a few coffee table tops 🤙🏼

I definitely didn't invent this type of system. I took the idea from some commercial setups I had seen and redesigned a "home use" clamp system. The idea of the T-section/pipe I hadn't seen before. Much smaller setup than the commercial ones I'd seen too. 👍🏻

Thank you 👍🏻

Thanks Peter. Hello from Australia!

Yeah it was fun and unexpected 🤙🏼

I use a spirit level to run along the bottom clamp heads to check they are all level. I run a length of brown wax cooking paper across the bottom ledge to catch the excess glue. The space saving aspect of the rack is definitely more of a positive than the accuracy. Everything I glue up has to go back through a thicknesser anyway, so it did the job for me. I have since moved into a commercial factory so I don't use it as much anymore. I still use the clamps but on our big glue up tables that are nice and flat. But it still comes in handy for the odd home project from time to time.

Glad you enjoyed 🤙🏼

I remember those days 😄

I know timber that hasn't been properly milled and kiln dried it can push finishes out as it naturally tries to push moisture out. But I can't say I've used cherry or maple as a cutting board before so I cannot give you any more information about what might be occurring there sorry.

That's normal for mineral oil. It's a petroleum based product. I find it is useless as a chopping board oil and I can't understand why so many woodworkers still use it. And now this Walrus oil has taken off which is mainly just mineral oil. Useless stuff. Stays greasy. Especially in hot weather. It's all sales and marketing. A petroleum based product is not as natural as a plant based product in my opinion.

Thanks legend. Much appreciated 🙏🏼

No problem 👍🏻

I think most devices these days come with a mute button. Maybe try that next time 😆 Thanks for the valuable comment, champ.

Yep definitely a time saver.

No problem!

Thank you. I enjoyed making this one :)

Turns out there's a better option. The kit actually comes with a cartridge saver...I stupidly thought this was just a little apparatus to hold spare sticks in, but it is actually a rubber/silicone mold that you can inject the unused filler into and it takes the shape of a new filler rod that can be reused at a later stage...I didn't realise this until the seller of the product reached out to me to explain :) No more waste from now on.

Thanks mate. Yeah I F things up all the time 😄

Much appreciated my man 🙏🏼

Thanks for watching 👀

It's very nice and affordable. I like the natural ingredients 👍🏻

Hi there - thanks for the question...unfortunately I have never lasered onto iron before. It is not a particular material that I have seen much use for in Co2 laser cutting. So any advice I would give would be a complete guess I'm afraid. I have seen other people have some success using fibre laser machines on ferrous metals but it is not something I have any experience with myself, nor have I seen much Co2 laser engraving on ferrous metals - I am sure someone out there has tried though...

Haha thanks mate 👍🏻

That particular laser is an Epilog Helix 24 x 18 - 50Watt Co2 Laser. Material is stainless steel. Spray is "Laserbond"- www.lasersupplies.com.au/product/laserbond-100-all-purpose-aerosol-spray/

Awesome 👍🏻

They vary from country to country. The model I have is an Epilog Helix 50W 24" x 18" if you wanted to look them up.

Camera phone is all I had at the time mate and in poor lighting it was the best I could do with the resources I had.

Thank you 👍🏻

I have a circle silhouette template I use for those that has another little circle engraved in it to show where the keyring goes. I just line up the hole in the key tag with the circle engraved on the template. Hope that makes sense.
