That is something I would really like to get. I'm in the process of reconfiguring the shop though. Maybe once that is done :) Putting in 220 is a bit of a challenge.

What did you buy?

Probably in part 5 :) have you had good luck with the micro adjustment. I have not. There seems to be just a little bit of movement when I lock it down invalidating the setting.

Mulch is always on. The impeller that causes the suction has the Bucher bald on the other side. Leaves move past the mulcher blades on the way out.

Go behind. Is this like a Simon says game?

Hi Mitt - 1x4 is pretty standard at any home store. You’d just want to get the primed kind. I get mine from the lumber yard because it is cheaper and I have a good one locally. I’m happy to find a link for a home store for you as reference. which one do you like to go to?

@@SoWeBoughtaHouse Home depot is the closest store for me.

Yet you had the time to comment and help promote the video. I really appreciate that. Happy holidays!

@ Will not be watching any of your videos, just stay to the actual content.

You bet!

I don't :) just kidding. You can make the front removable by using screws to secure it, but I just use the interior car brush attachment for the shop vac. The narrow one meant to get between the seats fits easily between the slots.

You're welcome!

Gas is fine but in the time it takes to go get the gas, mix it and find a safe place away fro mthe kids to store it, I'm already done. Electric works better for me. On a bigger property maybe gase would be a better choice, but the Stihl is still more expensive and the CFM isn't significantly higher. Electric engine have a lot more torque than gas.

Have you used it? Which one do you like better?

:)

Thank you! Cheers!

Let me know how it goes. I had a similar issue with my fridge, but I was able to just remove the face frame to make the adjustment. good luck, just be careful wit hthe heat and the finish.

No problem 👍

You think that would work better than the coupling I used? I'll definitely try it, I thought the main difference was the seal which I didn't care about since I wasn't putting anything through the pipe.

Awesome!

I love how fast I can clean the driveway and the steps so no one slips rather than just blowing it in to the3 beds where it just comes back.

Hi there. I didn't use the rabbet because of the pocket screw construction, plus I thought it might have been noticeable if I ran the rabbet the whole way on the verticals which meant doing a stop cut. Sharp chisels make fast cuts of the corners and I didn't need to be super precise on the back so I did it that way. You are right though, for the horizontals you could have put a rabbet on the whole stretch and then on the horizontals just ran it a little long top an bottom but not all the way to hide it and then assembled. Lots of ways to do projects like this and use your favorite tools :). As long as the rabbit didn't extend on the verticals to where the pocket screws went you should have no issue with the assembly.

Appreciate the response. I’m planning to start this project in December, and think I’ll try rabbiting before assembly. I personally get nervous with a chisel in my hand. lol.

Never be afraid to try - just make sure you are safe :). A sharp chisel makes quick work and is good practice as no one will ever see. You can also round over the plywood with a power sander. Good Luck and I'm sure it will look great!

You are welcome!

Great to hear! Ihop you like it.

Just used it this weekend and still works great as long as you set your expectations for what it was meant for. If you have any questions let me know. Thanks for the nice comment!

Hi Gamer, what was it that you didn't like about yours?

Hi Kevin, I don't have links but they were were from Home Depot and I think they still sell the same models.

@@SoWeBoughtaHouse Thank you I will check.

You are welcome. If you need any help let me know.

Definitely dont put a yak in the chipper. That would be really messy.

Now I just spray :) got tired of cleaning brushes with kids hanging all over me :)

Make sure to let me know what you think!

First off - love the Avatar photo is looks just like our Frenchie :). To answer your second question, I had a series of 10 videos lined up on FreeCad, but the popularity seemed to die, once Fusion 360 announced the free platform and maker platform. II should make the second video in the series and see how it does. What do you think :)

@@SoWeBoughtaHouse We have 2 frenchies and love them! I’m new to cad and have tried Sketchup but found to generate a cut list I would need to pay. I wasn’t aware that Fusion offered a free platform or what it might lack compared to a subscription. Can you import your work into cutlist optimizer from FreeCAD or the free version of Fusion? Thanks

@@kellygibson7299 Ok so I haven't actually tried it yet. I should optimize my cuts but often when building for videos, it is hard to find the time. but from Fusion you can go to Export and export the parts as a csv. You should be able to import that into cutlist optimizer. You can do a similar think in FreeCAD. Here is the link to the personal version of Fusion that is free www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal It works well for most things hobby related. I really wish they had a $10 a month version with some more features. The jump from free to $85 kind of stinks. FreeCAD will let you do almost anything though. It just takes a little patience. I'm working on a series of videos to build a home server right now, I think when I finish that up I'll revisit FreeCAD, but I'm also itching to do a video on a really cool chisel rack I built. So hard to prioritize :)

@@SoWeBoughtaHouse I appreciate the time and information. I’ll check them out 👍

Do it - It is really easy and I'm happy to answer any questions.

You bet!

Agreed, if you get the party started, the party is started :P

That is a good choice. I knew I was using a small case so I went the non X route for the lower power consumption and the lower thermal properties. I was also trying to keep the cost down a bit. How are liking your build. I have had it running for three weeks now restarts and cool temps.

Hi Pete - c clamps are definitely better. When I made the video I was trying to show you don’t need all the expensive green toys you see all over RUclips to make accurate cuts. Not that there is anything wrong with that and I own a bunch, but I want to show people they can start making with whatever they might have in the garage.

If you mean Fesstool l just have the C18 drill kit ( $6C retirement gift to myself ergonomics similar to my old Makita 9.6’s) Now Ryobi I have a crate full. The adjustable screw serves another function and that’s keeping the chop saws plumes of dust from building up against the stop and shorting your work pieces

exactly - and yes Festool's dust extraction makes it worth every penny, if you have enough pennys :)

Hey Dave - The next entry is in the works where I put in the case and test it out. I delayed the video because there was a shortage on the case I used. If you are still following along it will be a Jonsbo N4 NAS case. They are now back on Amazon and I should release the video in the next week. If you have any questions, let me know.

@@SoWeBoughtaHouse Awesome. I have the same case. I might have worked ahead a bit. I'll be interested in the routing of the main power to the motherboard. I'm not convinced I did mine correctly. Also, I need a very skinny HDMI connector, maybe I've inserted the card incorrectly.

Nope you did it right. The issue with the HDMI is a complaint I have with the case, That metal tab interferes with where the port is on the that card. I used a DVI to HDMI converter to get around it - and once the server was set up, I don't use a connected monitor. As for the cabling you likely did it it right. The cables were tight. I opted for getting Corsair's premium cables (which are longer) for the ATX power and sata power, but you could also get an extension to make it easier. The power supply is awesome but it just barely fits the case making it difficult but not impossible to wire those 2.5" bays. The case is good, but like any build cabling is the devil in the details problem, especially when working in such a small form factor. My opinion so far though is it was worth it.

Hi Mike - It is up to you and I did this using only Box store available materials to make it simple for the diyer. This is what I used, but I encourage you to go down and play with the molding and lattice to customize the look. It can be a lot of fun. Well for wood dorks like me it is anyway. www.homedepot.com/p/Woodgrain-Millwork-WM-267-1-4-in-x-1-5-16-in-x-96-in-Solid-Pine-Lattice-Moulding-10004466/206178822

All Good points Jeffrey, this is a construction trick for cutting things like studs, etc. you can actually draw a story stick on the board and just clamp as needed. If you are worried about warping you can use MDF instead of wood, and if if you are really crazy like me, check out the video where I show how to use aluminum extrusions. Happy Building!
