    Like how you began the video by showing viewers the most typical use of long bar clamps for us woodworkers! They don’t need to be extremely strong for a glue up of panels nor for 95% of any other woodworking application they may be used for.
    These clamps seem to be your best design and are much easier to build. You are always trying to help your audience understand so that we can “build it” easily ourselves. Thanks, it’s appreciated!

  • @coreygrua3271
    @coreygrua3271 5 лет назад

    Matter of fact, practical, ingenious, and beautiful. Heisz makes a good safety point about his “comfort” with his table saw. Finally, one can never have too many clamps!

  • @nil2k
    @nil2k 6 лет назад +15

    Maybe it's just me, but I really like that you show your saw getting stuck in hard wood just like the rest of us instead of editing those bits out and making it look like everything always goes perfectly.

      I must have one helluva table saw...that part shocked me. I've got an 80s vintage Delta/Rockwell Model 10 Contractor's Saw with a Forrest 48T full kerf blade and cherry, maple, oak...butter...all cuts pretty consistently. Now two weeks ago when the blade and fence were way out of alignment resulting in the back end of the blade pinching the work against the fence...yeah...there was some struggle there...but now that the blade and fence are parallel to the table mitre slots to within 0.0015"... it's a gem. I've also gotta point out that my heart stopped a couple times when I saw the workpiece start to climb up the back of the blade...yikes!

      @@jensdavidsen4557 i honestly think its the blade he is using. I was helping my younger brother do some trim for a baot he is building and his saw has almost no power. We put his 6 inch small kerf blad on and had none of the binging issues that we where having with the big blade. thats why you see the burn marks. "work blades seem to rip though everything with no damage to the blade but seem to have more issues with bnding and upkick like that.

    good to see you have figured the advantage of a piece of mdf covered with melamine in the bottom of the thickness planer. I have used this method for many years and find it not only decreases friction but it almost eliminates snipe. 1/4" melamine covered mdf also makes a nice top for the table saw when the insert is not perfect or you need a zero clearance insert.

I've built your large k-body clamps and use them all the time. I can't wait to make these some day. My "woodshop" (haha - garage) is starting to like like it's Heisz designed. Wait, if you saw my shop you'd be insulted that I said that - so never mind :D Also, just made your table saw fence - amazing. Thanks, John!

    My first career I was a steel fabricator/welder. I cut miles of aluminum with just a standard circular saw with a carbide blade. Never had any problems with that. Of course it would be smart to wear a face shield because sometimes with heavy use a carbide tooth would come off the blade.

    Nice build John , however I made somehow similar long clamps but faced a problem where the notchs kept chipping , maybe I was tightening too much or the wood wasn't hard enough , so I had to make holes in the moving part and through the bar every two inchs or so but not exceeding the length of the threaded metal bar and inserted a moving dowell , that made it stronger.
