      I’m the same with everything I do. No half measures just get stuck in and learn .. loads of mistakes but it’s all about the challenge 👌

    I like this chair. Can double as a night stand as well in a small space like a dorm room. one suggestion if you're using this as an outdoor piece, you might consider putting a small chamfer on the bottom of each leg. Will help with moisture absorption as well as sliding across surfaces.

    • @thewoodjunki

    I’m fairly new to woodworking too. I’ve actually stopped myself from taking on some projects just incase it goes wrong. So the most important thing I’ve learnt from this video is to have a go and if it goes wrong, learn from it. So thank you. Also,I gave up smoking nearly 8 years ago and put on weight immediately. I turned 60 last November and I was determined to get to the same weight as I was at 50 by my 61st birthday. Finally after years of trying I have lost that weight again. I’ve got an app on my phone that helps me count calories (as well as fats, salt, sugar etc) and I was surprised how much that helped. I also bought some digital kitchen scales so that I can weigh what I eat and I was amazed how much more my portion sizes were to recommend portion sizes. I started drinking more water and walking where ever possible. I’m sure your Stanley takes you out and that will help but I know that if I’ve got a dog with me, I stroll while they do all the running. So you may need to take yourself out too. Park further away from the supermarket entrance, go for a little yomp around the block after your tea. It all helps. I’m fortunate that I only work two miles from my house so I walk to work most of the time and that gives me a bit of a buzz before I start work and due to the traffic, walking doesn’t actually take much longer than driving. I know it seems like a lot of fuss, but I lost the weight with months to spare and I don’t need to weigh my food anymore because I know the portion sizes. Also, no expensive gym membership here. Just one foot in front of the other. And the more I walk the easier it becomes. Good luck with everything you do. Fingers crossed for you and your weight loss 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    • @thewoodjunki
      @thewoodjunki  Месяц назад

      Cheers fella.. my problem is actually walking as the arthritis is really bad in my feet / ankles. When I stopped the smoking roughly 3 years now the weight just piled on so I thought next thing is drinking which I’m on about 18 months. No real reason as to stop just a healthy living thing which I thought would be good to do.
      Next on my list is tackling the weight which I will start this week and might document it publicly on my woodwork videos which will probably give me more determination. I think I’ll definitely want to lose roughly 5 stone which will just be the sweet spot I’ll aim for.

    • @stevejeffery4951
      @stevejeffery4951 Месяц назад

      My daughter has arthritis and it hurts to see her struggling to do what I take for granted. Although walking has helped my weight loss, I seriously do believe that I wouldn’t have lost the weight I have without the app and digital scales. I use NutraCheck, but there are loads out there. Although 5 stone is your aim, maybe try smaller increments otherwise you might get disheartened. 10% of your weight might be a good place to start. I for one would love to see your progress and I’m sure that many others would too. Good luck.

    Great stool project. Good job. For a zero clearance on your table saw lower your blade, use painters tape to cover the opening, turn on the blade and slowly raise it. Works in a pinch

    Very nice chair and for someone who’s bad at math ……. well done. You can be proud at yourself.
    Btw. the three holes in the projects as sort of a Billy-signature, I like it. See you soon!

    Hi, M8 until you get a proper zero clearance throat plate try winding your blade right down and then use either extra wide painters tape or. A shiny backed plastic tape, cover the throat plate and then start up your saw and slowly wind the blade back up and voila a zero clearance plate. This applies to your miter saw as well. 👍👍

    • @thewoodjunki
      @thewoodjunki  Месяц назад

    There’s zero clearance tape that you can put on the saw plate, then slowly let the blade saw thru it- I don’t know if that makes sense. It’s hard to explain but there’s a video on it. I got some for my miter saw so word of warning- that stuff is super sticky!!! Keep up the great work, Billy! 👍🤘🌟

    • @thewoodjunki

      The video is from DIY Montreal and her specific video is Five Things You Can Do With Your Miter Saw. I think some things can also apply to table saws. But don’t fall for that $1,000,000 Stick (which actually costs about $25 US) With your creativity and skills I feel confident you can come up with something better!
