Always a great show with the comedy team of Vic and Gary! Very entertaining, and now I know I have to be polite at the lumber yard!
When I was in engineering school I got a summer job with an oil company loading trucks with motor other and other lubricants. This way back when motor oil was sold in cardboard cans with metal tops and bottoms which often leaked.
You haven't seen a forklift skid around a corner unless you seen some 18-19 year old college students racing around on a floor coated with motor oil.
Hi, thank you for discussing my plastic laminate trim bit. I'll probably never use it. A museum piece I guess.
I worked in a cabinet shop for 3 years (over 18 years ago) before joining the navy and have built thousands of laminate countertops, as well as solid surface, stone, and cultured marble counter tops. When you were discussing the "V" bit for "P-lam", to keep it from burning the plastic laminate, professional counter shop fabricators use a product called Lami-Lube, a routing laminate lubricate. But to correct one thing, this bit is only used when routing the finished edged of laminate top against the finished face of the countertop. So the bit has to ride on plastic laminate against plastic laminate. If you try to let it ride against wood, whether particle board or plywood, it will burn through and most likely plough into the board and cut into the finished plastic laminate surface edge. You would never use this bit to cut into a sink opening, that's generally done with a jig-saw or small router with guide bearing. The V-bit would only be plunged when the plastic laminate sheet is so large, that starting from the edge would cause the sheet to crack and ruin the top. A real problem with cheap laminate. So, V-bit used with plastic laminate for finished trimming the top laminate edge against the face of the counter top, but has to be used with a lubricant to keep from burning the laminate and although designed to be plunged, it was rarely plunged unless needed to keep the sheet from splitting.
And yes, Gary, the glue and chemicals used for gluing laminate tops is horrible, some of the worst on the planet! And they are still used, unfortunately.
Great work
Good show
Diamond stones plus ultra fine ceramic to finish.
Let's play "Spot the Canadian." This is a great group of people who care about other people, but one of them has "buddy"s phone number and texts him before he leaves his house to see if he wants a coffee since he's going that way anyway.
thanks
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Vic, did you say, "The whole time you self-flatulate?" 😂(self-flagellate) I mean, I guess that's one way of punishing yourself, for sure, particularly in a small shop. Thanks for the chuckle. I always enjoy the podcast, and I mean absolutely no disparagement.
when talking about the V router bits share the pic with your RUclips watchers! We are clueless and do not need to be.
2:45 Found a piece of rawhide? Or a sliver of wood?
What lumber yard do you use in Connecticut? I ususlly go to Parkerville but it a bit far from Southern CT. Thanks
Usually Kellogg in Bethel -Ben
thanks, I'll need to check them out.@@FineWoodworking
At 65 yo old these visual assistance devices are a life-saver. Vanity kills productivity.
I wear them virtually all the time in the shop, flip ‘em up, or flip ‘em down to actually see.
