Hello my friend. It's a very nice project. The angle grinder was a nice cutting saw. You did a job. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. See you. Big greetings ..
Cheers David, yes this little bit of work saved the project really (coming up in next vid). Thanks mate - hope you're also able to stay home, stay safe and keep your head above water through all this.
Cheers Graham! Yes - it really did the job on the project I needed it for - nice and simple but a game changer on this occasion. The alternative was borrowing a cut-off or some new cut-off discs but in our current situation traveling to pick them up would have been breaking the law! So much preferable just to have a bit of a think about it.
Thanks mate. It feels good to make something simple that does the job. Having said that I've already thought of ways to make this way more complicated than it needs to be for only a marginal gain in performance. lol.
@@TakamiWoodshop G'day mate. This probably isn't the best place to put this, but, I'm gunna... lmao 😆 I have signed a ton of petitions for our slack gov to pull their fingers out and pay New Zealanders social security payments that have lost their jobs here and are stranded. We have won, I think...lol. The petition I signed are asking to hear from Kiwis that are in this predicament here. Do you know anyone, or anyone there that's has friends or family here? Pass this link along to help with the numbers needing support while here. Cheers buddy, take care. change_au.typeform.com/to/yYiFit
mate that's freakin' amazing that you've done that! Happy to help in any way that I can. I've heard it's a real problem for some people, but the govt is coming around to certain circumstances(?). I've had various friends and family living in Aus over the years but at the mo just one aunty that I'm in touch with and she would know a ton of kiwis there so I'll forward the link to her. sidenote: I lived in Sydney and worked at the Maccas on Broadway for a short while when I was a young fella 18/19 years old. Had a blast. Cheers Bill. Stay safe.
@@TakamiWoodshop Happy to do my bit for anyone in need whenever, wherever I can mate. The thing to remember is not let history repeat, which is; never let the ruling powers segregate the people again and ALWAYS remember we are ONE people of ONE planet. Like dogs and cats don't give a toss about colour or size, a dog is a dog!
Nice patent Rob ! Lockdown made us think a lot better our moves before we make something because all the stores are closed and we don't have the luxury for mistakes! 👍
Cheers Takis, you're right - we have to be careful not to make mistakes but also design carefully and wastefully. We can learn some good lessons during this time I think - that is one positive aspect.
Nice work! I was trying to think of a way to do something similar with a circular saw to turn it into a cheap miter saw a while back, but never got around to it.
G’day Rob, they say Isolation is the mother of all invention 🧐 actually perhaps not but use this as a slogan if you will lol. Very well thought out mate but don’t leak it to Pask as he’ll steal your wisdom for scrap wood challenge 20147 😁😁😁, look after yourself Takami brother 🍻🍻🍻👍👍👍👍
Not bad at all. So when does Takami Engineering go into full production? Very nice work indeed sir. I hope everyone and everything is OK at Trautvetter Towers. Stay safe buddy.
Cheers Pete. Got the job done but man is metal working difficult. They say mig welding is easier than arc, but when you have massive gaps right at the outset from shoddy cuts - I can't see how it helps. Might take me a while to find an investor in this production run Pete 😵.
@@TakamiWoodshop If you ever get the opportunity to beg borrow or steal a MIG welding set for a few days, I'd recommend giving it a go, it really is a lot easier to get on with, especially on thinner metal. Having said that, you seem to be doing just fine with the stick welder.
@@PeteBeardsley I'd *love* to have a go with one. I'm glad I've given stick welding a go but I'm over it because I don't have time to practice and the results are very unreliable for beginners. As long as I stick to simple "rough" items I'll be fine but any sort of detail .... hmmmm ... results uncertain.
cheers man! Ha - I wish it was a Makita and I may replace it - the battery on this thing takes about 37 hours to recharge! I'm trying to get an adapter so I can run it on my Makita batteries - but so far can't find one. The battery is exactly the same as a Worx battery I found out, and a few other brands as well.

I knnow the blade guard is a pain when you want to cut things with the angle grinder.. but you really don't want to see what hapend when one of those spinning blades blow up. They shot blade pieces faster than bullets all around you..I have a neighbor that got hurt really bad on his face by a blade blowing up on his angle grinder.. and he didn't had a blade guard nor a face mask protection on. Jeeez .. he got lucky he didn't lost an eye.. or both...but his face changed forever.
@@TakamiWoodshop I love bacon! But it must just be one of those psychological things. I smelled the cut you were making...I love the smell of a workshop or a garage.
Thanks for the kewl and nice comment m8, last one I got on this vid was something like...."Four minutes in, get to the fkn point already". That one got the delete button smashed with my middle finger 😂
It can't get more simple and functional than this. Very creative.
I've spent 2 hours looking for the right tool on the Internet, and came across the best simple low cost solution- in your video-Thanks.
Awesome, glad it helped, cheers for the comment. 👍🏻
I like that little jig Rob, as they say, necessity is the mother of invention!

Thank you very much! It is a very useful tool. Have a great day.
@@TakamiWoodshop You're welcome. See you. have a nice day.
That turned out a lot better than I expected! Well done. Stay well, stay safe and pleased to hear you are staying at home! Cheers, David.
Cheers David, yes this little bit of work saved the project really (coming up in next vid). Thanks mate - hope you're also able to stay home, stay safe and keep your head above water through all this.
Elegantly simple, and easy. This is my kind of DIY! ( And ima gonna copy you ;) )
Turned out great, looks even better in action, this will definitely make it on my list of things to do, top jig mate 👍👍

Very inventive Rob keep on keeping on
Thanks Bernie - onward and upward
Definitely a great job mate, love your simple but interesting ideas ...perfect lockdown video :)

@@TakamiWoodshop 😯😸
That's using ya noodle, mate. 👍🏽
Works like a charm, and easier than you first thought. 👌🏽
Cheers Bill. Always a good day when the solution to a problem doesn't become yet another unfinished project sitting in the corner. 😆
@@TakamiWoodshop
Hahaha🤣
For sure mate. Don't over think things and keep em simple.
Well, that's the plan anyways 🤔

Thanks John. I'm also trying to think of a good way to use my circ saw as a miter saw.
That's a keeper! 😍😍
I'll keep it on my bedside table 👍
@@TakamiWoodshop 😂
As They say... Lockdown is the mother of invention.
sure is - reckon you're going to run out of anything?
@@TakamiWoodshop wish I had stocked up on a lot more screws
@@CockatielCompanion I'm going to expand the range of hardware and consumables I keep in stock too.
Great idea! Loved the way that you took us on a ride with how you problem solved! Stay safe!

well they do say it now! It's kind of like being on a desert island with a few things from the shipwreck washed up on shore. I kind of dig it.

@@TakamiWoodshop Well, if you ever find yourself in the UK, drop in for coffee and you can have a play with mine.
I'd love to do that Pete. I've never been to the UK. Maybe one day I'll make it across to that side of the earth. I hope so.
Nice jig bud hey wait that's not a makita 😮

There are two formats of Worx batteries, found the new one but I have the old...... Ffffff! 😬

So strange...when you were doing the cut, I could smell it.
Did it smell like bacon? 🥓
@@TakamiWoodshop I love bacon! But it must just be one of those psychological things. I smelled the cut you were making...I love the smell of a workshop or a garage.
This is seriously awesome. Shame it was too early for #WoodJigs21! ;)
I might have found out who the #woodjigs21 judges are, and slipped them a few kreg screws. You okay with that?
