    Great video! For the electrical box, at 4:59 it looks like you used two boxes doubled up plus what looks like some kind of extender to get the necessary depth so the electrical box is flush with the bottom of the beam. Is that in fact what you did? I have a similar situation with wanting to install a faux ridge beam that already has a ceiling fan mounted.

    • @MadeByChance

    • @MadeByChance
      @MadeByChance 3 месяца назад

      I appreciate the comment. There's always code aspects and "best practices" that apply and people should be aware of, but I can guarantee with 110% confidence these wires aren't coming loose. I tested how well the SO wire twists when the flip top rotates, even if it always rotated in the same direction. With how it rubs on the edges of the entrance to the pipe/tabletop, it's not going to ware through before the wood wears our. I didn't show it on camera, but the pipe was siliconed with the wire in it, so it's only rubbing on the pegboard material which is basically MDF, so I'm not worried. Additionally, it's easily visible if it ever wears through now since it would only be on the outside. Additionally, the boxes and the table top the wires are attached to all move together. I'm even less worried that there's going to be tension created between the romex and the switch or outlet boxes because they have the same movement. It would be different if the wire was not rotating with the boxes. It may not be to "code" with the distance the romex is held down from the inlet to the boxes, but the national electrical code wasn't made with a flip top tool cart in mind - the intent of the code is met, and anchorage of the wiring is all adequate for the application. Nothing's going to burn anyone's house down.

    When the drawer handle goes through the thin center panel is there a gap between the front of the drawer and the back of the drawer front? Do you have to shim it or something in between?

    • @MadeByChance
      @MadeByChance 3 месяца назад

      There is a small gap, but it's only about 3/16". I did not shim it. When pulling the handle, it's not putting any stress on the panel because it's pulling on the drawer box since the screws go all the way through to it. And then when it's closing, it may see a little stress but it takes less force to close it than to open it, so not enough to make anything noticeably flex.

      We're working on almost 3 years since the rehab and still no issues! But yes, finishing both sides would have helped.

    2:10 - 3:41How to calculate leg length for uneven floor? I don't understand.

    • @MadeByChance
      @MadeByChance 6 месяцев назад

      Good question. So what I was trying to get at was that I was able to simplify this for my shop because I had the block wall at the back with a ledge that was perfectly level. So when I built the frame, I started with the back legs resting on that ledge, then building the table top, and then the front leg length could just be measured by holding the top level and measuring down to the floor at each individual location of each leg (you can hold it all level while doing this by clamping the top to the legs and adjust for each leg until the top is level). Even if you don't have a ledge like I did, you can still kinda do this if you're planning on anchoring the back to the wall by tracing a horizontal line that's level with the earth (not with the floor, i.e. not drawing a line the same height with reference from the floor, but actually using a level and keeping the bubble in the middle to trace your line), and then installing brackets to the wall along that line to hold the back of the table top, and then just as I described above, measure the length each leg needs to be to keep the top level. The way I did it at first before I came up with using that back, perfectly level ledge though was more complicated. I actually determined what the slope of the floor was by picking a reference point on the wall that I knew was level (I used the ledge) and measured down to the floor. Using trigonometry (lookup tan(theta)=opposite/adjacent, where opposite would be height to reference point and adjacent would be length from one end of the table to the other, and theta would be my angle of the floor), I was able to calculate what the slope of the floor was. Then I was able to use trigonometry again (same tangent formula), but this time I know the angle now, and I know the spacing I wanted my legs, so I was solving for the height of each leg. This is really hard (painful even) to describe in text, but can be described better in a video. I did a quick search on RUclips to see if someone else has described this exact calculation and I can find a few videos that explain calculating the slope of a ramp, which is basically the same thing, but you'd have to extrapolate the concept a little for what we're doing here. I'm not sure what you're background is or familiarity with trigonometry is, but just do a search for "calculating slope of ramp trigonometry" and maybe that will give you what you're looking for. For what it's worth though, this is a really good question and is probably worth me doing a video on. So I'll plan on doing a video on it in the near future and I'll link it here in the comments too (maybe around the end of February I can have that ready).

    Just wondering . . . To attach a tool to the top, do you just screw into the 1/2 inch ply? You can’t bolt the tool on because you don’t have access to the inside? Is the attachment going to be strong enough to hand the tool on the bottom side?

    • @MadeByChance
      @MadeByChance 6 месяцев назад

      That's a good question that I should have done better to explain. But yes, you would just screw to the top of the flip top box. A rule of thumb is the pull out strength of a #10 screw in 1/2 plywood is about 50lbs. With 4 screws on any piece of equipment, you're talking close to 200lbs. So it's more than sufficient.

    • @MadeByChance
      @MadeByChance 5 месяцев назад

      That's a good question. We made sure screws were sized appropriately for each tool. So measure the height of the holes from the surface and add the thickness of the plywood, and that's the screw length that should be used. In hind sight, I realized that anchoring the wire inside the box is probably not necessary, and would add some flexibility to allow the Romex to "move" with a screw through the wood. Obviously, you don't want to use 3" screws or anything like that. But I think as long as you used reasonable length screws and the wiring wasn't anchored down, there wouldn't be any issue.

I was a bit surprised you cut that U-shaped block with the grain instead of against it... if you had the grain running in the other direction that piece would be much stronger and eliminate the risk of breaking as it did while you were drilling it. That risk still exists if this baby gate takes an impact or something. Good work! Cheers!

    • @MadeByChance
      @MadeByChance 7 месяцев назад

      That's actually a really good point and could have given it a much better chance of survival! I think in general the dimensions and material of it aren't ideal though. Basically 0.5" thick and just over 3" long span with about 1.75" of that span being removed in the center. Then slightly undersizing the depth by about 1/16" to try and get a better "squeeze" on the pole with pine didn't give me the advantage. :) At any rate, your point is 100% valid and I just didn't think about it in the throes of cutting it out. I appreciate the watch and you providing the input for others to learn from my mistakes! 👍

    Is the angle grinder better to use or a rotary hammer

    • @MadeByChance
      @MadeByChance 8 месяцев назад

      A rotary hammer drill will work too. I'd recommend drilling a hole about every 1-2 inches along the path that you'd want a break line at before you try and knock it down so there's a nice clean break. With the angle grinder, you can basically just cut the lines where you want it to break and then go to town with the hammer. Either will do about the same thing, but less work with an angle grinder.

    Just had pecan planks joined for a bathroom counter by a friend. The boards were already cupping like pecan likes to do, but were joined and planed. Now the whole counter is one big cup. My immediate thought was i’ll just add angle iron underneath in places that wont interfere w drawers, etc, and mount it to the wall and cabinets w either hardwood or angle iron. Watching this, i think i’ll first try to flatten it like you did. Now that its been a few years, how is it holding up?

    • @MadeByChance
      @MadeByChance 9 месяцев назад

      Still doing great actually! There's a couple spots along some of the splits on the top where I can feel that there's a low spot (i.e. the edge of the splits has kinda raised in some spots), but I'd say no more than 1/16", and they're localized and not across the whole slab. As far as the edges of the slab holding down to the cabinet, it's not moved at all. Still very flat how it's mounted!

      I had thought about that too, but figured I wasn't cutting a whole lot, just a little on the edges. But the thin pieces I did cut off, I could definitely watch bend away from the slab as the cut progressed. So there was definitely some tension that I released that could have contributed to the movement.
