Don't get mad. Get even! Leaky Garage door when it rains? Problem solved!
I installed a trench system inside my garage door and solved the floor puddle problems. Now this may not be your fix if you have wood studded shop or garage. My shop is a metal building with metal studs. This solved my issues and I hope it is something you can use to solve yours.

Nicely done sir
@@sirturd4966 Thank you
Thank you Tracy for the Awesome video. I purchased a PC 4212 jig and I'm ready to try it. Mine has the 1/2" shaft bits. My router's have a 1/4" collet. Any recommendations. New bigger router or 1/4" bits if available ? Thank you
@roberttravalent7782 Thanks Robert. If your budget allows for it, I would recommend a router with a half inch and quarter inch collets. Half inch bits do not have the flex as the 1/4 inch do. Especially when you are using longer bits. They also tolerate heat a little better and retain their sharpness longer. They will still build up heat but it's not as bad. I have 1/2 and 1/4 inch collets for most of my routers and it's nice having those options when you have a certain bit and you need a router it will fit
I wonder if you got the snipe because you didn’t have tables
@@d3us3xmach1na5 i have added the extension tables to the 735 and it has helped
Outstanding!!!
@@tc9148 Thank you
Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent this issue from recurring?
My advice would be to periodically check the screws which holds the tension for the chain drive. Make sure they stay tight and holding tension on the chain. Second, don't drop the planer. One person had knocked his off and it did this
I like the seats on this one. I've watched a few different videos, and I'm going to pick this one.
Exactly. They want you to wipe it off and throw products in the garbage. Which does 2 thing. Makes it lighter if it's a lighter stain. And 2 makes you have to buy more stain. Do you ever have a problem with it being sticky and top coating right with the way you're doing it?
No. Never have had a problem with it being sticky but I don't pour it on either. I just spread it out evenly and give it a proper dry time. Usually 24 hrs and some times, depending on the weather, two days. If it takes longer than 2 days, it's probably on too thick
The sub bases are cheap you can find them online for less than 5$. I bought a couple for the plunge base so I could use my 1.5" flattening bit. Overall for the price it's a solid entry point into a router imo. Great review.
Thank you
I have the jig that Chad makes and it works as designed on odd numbered pins , 3,5,7 etc as that leave an opening in the center of the board. Even numbered don’t have that open area to place the jig ? Did I miss something?? I don’t see how it would work on even numbered spaces ?
@MikeyDonna i don't understand what exactly you have going on. Are you using Chad's jig on the "tail" side of the Porter cable template? Unless your porter cable template is bent, it should fit snuggly in any slot. If it is fitting right in some spaces and not others, you have tines bent on your template. 1. Make sure you are placing Chad's jig in the dovetail side of your PC template. 2. Check the gap between the tines of the tails template. There should be a 3/4 inch gap between all. Also check out the latest video on my channel as a step by step for using Chad's jig
Tracy, I know from you’re accent you’ll understand this expression, “I have to eat crow”, and what makes it twice as bad it was served up by my wife. She suggested I get the manual and read it while I tried to use the centering jig I bought , my problem was not starting with the right pin of the templet. She pointed out that my starting place was wrong. Anyway I’m on the right track thanks to (uh hummm) her , Mike
@MikeyDonna lol. I hear ya. Glad you got it figured out. I've have yo eat some crow too. Seems the older I get, the more I do.
I just bought one of these with this problem for $150. I need to replace the sprocket but your tutorial made this a great deal for me. I would never have figured this out otherwise.
So glad it was helpful.
appreciate your video, but could you speak a little more clearly??
Nice job matey xden
Ive got a 735x and love it. I accidentally knocked my planer off a temp stand it was on that resulted in this very issue. I was ready to toss it then watched this and its back up and running. thanks!
@murryficklestien3843 Sorry that happened but glad you got it fixed. Happy my video helped
This jig is a very simple method for one use of my Router. (The Router does have many other uses in the Workshop, I have found)! I will find this jig simple and easy to use, and much easier than using the Table saw for cutting Tenons. 🤠
Why do guys build clamp racks but not use clamps to assist in holding parts together during assembly? Hmmmmm? Ive watched a few rack builds and have begun wondering about that...
@johnwallace596 Well, I built mine because I needed it to hold my clamps. I guess the reason I didn't use clamps during the build process is I didn't need to clamp anything.
I guess it was easier to drive screws @ 3:55 than to use a small speed clamp…
@johnwallace596 yeah. If I had needed them, I would have used them. And it seems like I did use clamps for something during that build but i guess it didn't make the video
Good video but I wish you would have explained what busing you used as well as what bits. And if they came with the jig.
@jacksawyer3626 Thank you. it's been awhile since I made that video but I think I did show what bits and bushings I used. If I didn't, I apologize for that. The 4216 jig does come with the bits and bushings.
Thank you very much! I just had the same problem today. The interior was jam packed with shavings and the chains and sprockets were all gummed up. I vacuumed up all that I could but quickly discovered I was going to need to take it apart to get at everything. I got lucky and your video was the first that popped up on google. One question: you used a drill/driver to remove the black handles. Was that a hex (Allen) bit in the extender on the drill?
@trroman it's a torx bit. Some call them a star bit. I think it's a lager bit than the one that comes with the planer to remove the top. But yeah I used an extension on the driver. They are down in there deep in the handles
@ thanks again!
@trroman your welcome. Let me know how it goes
Thank you for taking the time to explain this so well. Tomorrow I will give this a try.
@@gaussmarkov your welcome. Let me know how it goes
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 My gears were pretty much level, so I ended up just loosening the gears that would not move easily by experimentation. That got things moving easily. Then I adjusted the posts to change heights until the boards I was planing came out the same thickness on each side.
please america convert to millimeters

Love your vids Tracy. Got Chad's centering aid. I got a slightly different centering trick here..... ruclips.net/video/PNgSuw6proA/видео.htmlsi=z4sdsJSD_6rsQsJO
Tell Chad this is a great idea, and I would really like to have them.
@@surefootdj they are for sale. Information in the description and/or check out the latest video on the jig on my channel
I have had one of these for about 10 years. It was very accurate; in fact I used the five-cut method to adjust it and the result was the near and far ends of the fifth cut-off were identical to the ten thousands of an inch. I repeated the test two more times got the same result. I used this strictly for 90º since my miter saw or my Incra V27 were more convenient for other angles. Since then I sold the table saw before moving, and upgraded at the new place. It's now not as easy to calibrate because there is more slop in the far end of the miter bar, and the adjustment ring is tightened to the max. I inserted a 0.010" leaf from an old feeler gauge between bar and slot, and am holding it in place with tape. The only time I use it is to cut sheet goods that extend beyond the edge of the table. The most accurate miter gauge that I have is the V27 that I bought 12 years ago; using the five-cut method, it has an error rate of 0.00001" per inch. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it's currently available from Incra for $75; it doesn't come with a fence, but a good quality 3/4" plywood works just fine.
What I like most about your videos is that you double-down or triple-down in reinforcing the most important bits and pieces of your instruction. Well done

Looks like construction lumber. Isn't shrinkage and warpage going to be a problem?
I never have had an issue with that. I purchase the best lumber I can find, kiln dried and sticker stack it in my shop for about a week. Then I mill it to the size I need once it acclimates to my shop.
Very nice!
Thank you
Thank you
Great tutorial video. My PC jig has the same issue with the both offsets. The issue here that the offset part stamped incorrectly and does not have true 1/2 offset between vertical and horizontal edges. I was trying to order replacement parts and they all have similar issue.
You should have 1/2 inch offsets and 1/4 inch offsets with your jig
"Build your own barn door" proceeds to use equipment 99% of people won't ever own. Idiot.
Thanks man!
Do you have a CAD file for what you designed?
@iamthemoss No. Sorry but I don't. My son in law wanted this for Christmas so I sketch it up in sketchup and made it and recorded the build. I didn't keep the files. I probably need to start keeping them. I can tell you it was 4 ft wide and 4 ft long and I didn't make it long enough. Because when you sit on it the front end would raise up. I fixed that problem though by adding a couple I-bolts to the front legs and using some 1/2 rod i made stakes to drive into the ground through the I-bolts and that held the front end down. The seats were 18 inches off the ground and I believe the height of the table was something like 30 inches high. Hope that helps
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 thank you sir. I am wanting to build one I can take apart easily and store indoors
@@iamthemoss Let me know how it turns out.
if the half blind is to tight how do you loosen the joint
Nice video. I’m looking to build a half height door to cover access to a crawl space. Opening is 5 ft wide and 4 ft high. The door must travel to the left so I’m planning to make one door. I believe your design will work. What do you think about using pocket screws as the backside will not be visible? Any suggestions?
@gregj2647 Thanks Greg. My advice to your question would be to not use pocket hole screws due to the width of the door but ONLY if it is on hinges. 5 ft wide creates a lot of leverage of the doors construction. If your adding barn door hardware so that the door is hung and the weight is distributed across the top of the door, then pocket screws should be just fine. But I would at least add the dowels in the rail and style connections. A hanging door, barn door style, the weight of the door is supported by the top rail and the top of the styles. The bottom rail supports the weight of all the slates that make up the body of the door. Dowels or a floating tenor. Hope that makes sense.
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 I’ll be using barn door hardware and the door will slide right to left. Thanks for the reply
@@gregj2647 You are welcome. Let me know how your door turns out
Incra is has a good name, I'm considering buying the 1000 HD miter gauge😢 and the things you point out make it look like something I might make up myself in my shop! There's nothing streamlined at all about it! Don't be surprised if Harvey or another company eats your lunch incra! Thanks for the video .
Tracy, have you considered making one of your centering templates fore a l Leigh” supper jig ? I have one as well as a Porter Cable. The same principle applies . I’ll take the first one you make ?
@MikeyDonna That would be a question for Chad. He is the inventor and producer of the template. I just helped him get it out there. Use the email address in the video and ask him. I don't know if it would be something he would be willing to tackling not because he would have to buy the jig to make a template for it. It would be up the him. Use that email address and ask him and see what he says.
Very good explanation. Thank you!
@identitywithheld1027 thank you. I have a complete playlist for this jig if you are interested. Through dovetails, halfblinds, box joints and sliding dovetails

@@dalejablonski436 thank you
I appreciate that you actually mentioned the species of wood. Most folks just say hardwood & softwood. It’s good education with repetition for newer wood workers like me b
Since the width of boards are standard why not etch both board edges into the template? then just line it up.
@GrandstandVideo you can making halfblinds. That's what I did in the video. That extra board to the side is to keep the unsupported edge from blowing out
Holy cow! I’ve been looking for a solution to why mine suddenly became hard to crank. Some guy on a forum mentioned that sometimes they jump the sprocket. Your explanation and demo is just what I need! This is probably my problem. Thank you so much!

Did you consider a large overhang, before the drain idea? Thanks for the video!
@RDGham3028 i did consider this. But the location of my shop is just a few feet off my driveway and I worried about delivery trucks, Amazon, mail, etc, hitting it.
Hi there, watched your video after many mistakes 😅. Definitely did not use your method or in fact the propwr method to stain. So here i am 😂 i stained something darker - I think is was maybe Mahogany but it was faded so I was attempting to make it Ebony. I didnt sand it or anything. I was td it was basically unnecessary - so the stain clearly didnt spread eventually throughout and pooled in some areas, its a bit thicker (like paint) 😮😢😅😳 definitely not my intention. So not thin at all basically nowhere 😊. Do you have any advice for someone like me who has found themselves in this situation? I know its fixable but how far back do i got to go?😂 I want to make sure I don't make this mistake again in the future. 😊 Thank you soooo much for everything. Greatly Appreciate Your Content.
@PickleNPeanut i would suggest sanding the piece and starting over. You shouldn't have to sand every inch of stain off. Just to the point of fixing. Thanks for you kind words and good luck
So I took the same steps using the exact same products as you except my color was Mocha. After sanding with 120 and wiping off all dust I followed it with a couple of passes with the vacuum then proceeded with pre-stain wood condition from Minwax. The stain is same brand. 1- I used a staining brush removing the excess like you did. 2- I let it dry 24 hrs and the next day it was sticky. I don’t have AC in garage so I use a large commercial fan. The weather is warm and it has been rainy on and off. I’m wondering if the humidity may have affected it. My question to you is if after several days the stickiness doesn’t go away is there a way to correct the stickiness? I’ve stained plenty of furniture before and this is the first time experiencing this. Btw the unit was made of pine 2x4’s. Thank you for sharing.
@mpe777 humidity plays a large part in the drying process. Also if you don't spread the finish out evenly or leave too much piled up in spots, the longer it will take to dry. I have hvac running in my shop 24/7. If the humidity is too high you may have to stain twice allowing the first coat to dry and then a second bring it to the shade you want. If, what you have done so far, it doesn't dry fast enough you may have to sand it off and re-apply. You shouldn't have to sand the whole piece, just the sticky sections and then re-apply to those spots and blend them in. If I am doing any piece that requires staining, I do them just like I did in the video. I never wipe. I just apply until I get the shade I want and wipe in the direction of the grain. If the humidity If high where you are, you may have to plan on staining twice. Thin on top of thin. Hope that makes sense
