  • After some weeks of demotivation, I found some joy by making small and simple projects.
    Sometimes, we just need to get back to basics. :)

    Ah yes the old swan push stick you showed a long time ago. We all go through motivation valleys at times, and sometimes we just need to take a step back, find something small to work on, and run with it. Smaller "fun projects" with old scraps are sometimes what we need to get the creative juices flowing. Great job on the boards!

    The care you take in using glue is refreshing. You have the bare minimum of squeeze out and I cannot remember seeing you have drips off the wood. Other makers could and should take a lesson from you

    Great color choices! Who would have thought that gray-ish walnut could be so wonderfully effective when combined with the cherry and maple. Great job, Kris.

    What I love about watching you, is how well you explain what you are doing and why you are doing it that way.
    I have a spindle sander. It's one of those tools that you don't need until you do. to be honest, I hardly use it, but I"m not at your level of skill.
    I don't have a drum sander. I don't need one , but I really want one.

    Don’t give up on the 25mm board just yet - I have a 6 year old test board I made from construction wood (radiata pine, 90x35mm) and it bows a little with the seasons, but I leave it upside down on the kitchen bench occasionally and it sorts itself out 👍🇦🇺 Another very enjoyable video. Thanks 😃

    Absolutely get a drum sander! You would use it more than you think. It’s so easy to change sizes and grits and replacement sanding discs are not too expensive. You don’t need a really expensive one. Look at Rigid or one in that price range.

    Great timing of this inspirational video. I just finished (1 hour ago) 3 cutting boards, 2 with end-grain and 1 with straight boards. I like to mix paduk, zebrawood, walnut, and maple. End-grain zebrawood is very dynamic but maple pieces are better looking if they are straight. Paduk and walnut (not usually together) are great for color but their grain can be uninteresting.

    Cris, simples, belo e funcional. A tábua bumerangue ficou pequena, mas muito bonita. Como tenho paranoia com apoios, a única coisa que eu acrescentaria seriam pezinhos de borracha nas faces inferiores, para escapar da eventual umidade ou do frio de uma pedra. Um negócio que nunca entendi nos vídeos do pessoal que faz tampos de mesa de pranchões de madeira maciça, é porque nunca se mistura pó de serragem à resina epoxi, primeiramente para diminuir o altíssimo custo do preenchimento, em segundo, para tornar a coloração mais natural do que aquele tingimento de preto, que não gosto (eles às vezes misturam pigmentos azulados, e aí eu acho a coisa pavorosa), em terceiro, para tornar o enchimento mais homogêneo e consistente, facilitando a agregação do material aos furos e cavidades, em quarto, diminui o tempo de cura da resina. No seu caso foi só um preenchimento pontual, que ficou despercebido.

    Hey Cris. If you find yourself out of ideas for a time, might I suggest doing some work with the scroll saw? There are templates and patterns available for free online for some amazing victorian era fretwork. A great rabbit hole to jump in to, lots of fun from small projects to large. Lots of pattern books available online as well. Good luck!

    Ainda só vi 1min do vídeo e já imagino que seja a fase da falta de motivação dos 30/35 anos... Ela só desaparece.
    No entanto, quando os dias criativos voltam, costuma ser em dobro.
    Resumindo: só pra dizer que isso é a fase de mudança de rumos, gostos ou até rotinas.
    Não sou muito de interagir com os vídeos mas sou uma assídua subscrita.
    Gosto muito dos teus videos, como o narras, o que ensinas e os teus resultados finais.
    O estúdio fico brutal.

    You engineered the drill press table so well, why not design a small motorized cam that will oscillate the drill press quill while you sand?

  • @joh05058
    @joh05058 24 дня назад +1

    As always, beautiful work! When I make end grain boards I do two things differently. With the final glue up I make sure the grain patterns are alternating. Then after I'm done with all the sanding, I put them in a plastic container with mineral oil and let them soak for 30 minutes. I find that both of these help prevent warping, even with a 1 inch(25 mm) cutting board. I look forward to seeing more of your work and I'm glad you're posting again!
    Oh, and I love my oscillating spindle sander. I have the Wen with the oscillating belt sander attachment as well. I ran in some minor issues with the 90 degree angle but the at was fixed with a little shim. So I'd say, get one!

    Motivation is my shortest supply ..too ... Don't have a clue where to get a clear channel but your clogged one turned out some nice pieces. Looks like you could use that dreaded effort to clean the rollers inside your thickness planer, They are not doing a very good job feeding the stock through. but don't ask me for motivation - I am the worst at that ...

    • @GetHandsDirty
      @GetHandsDirty  23 дня назад

      Ah ah good point Clyde. I get what you see about the rollers, but in this case, the small planks had totally different thicknesses, and by placing them at the same time, the thinner ones didn't get pulled. Either way, Cleaning the rollers is something that I forget most of the time, and thanks for bringing that up!
