the water-based poly is a great tip...over the years been playing around with waxes, silicon-based autopolishes, synthetic floor-waxes and mystical "armour-all" all not 100% effective...will try on my bandsaw table with is caste-steel also my welding table which is mild and I just have just put up with the rust over the years... and thanks man for your many posts over time...your input is much appreciated
Perfect timing for the last tip. All weekend i'd been cursing my failing vision and my rusty framing square. I'm sanding that focker down and wiping on some poly. Many thx doode!

Nice video John... and thanks for the rust test at the end. I have just acquired an older Craftsman band saw and the table top was rusted up. I have just got it cleaned up and I am at the stage wher eI was going to wax it up to protect it... but I guess I will use water based poly tonight instead. Thanks.
Great Stuff John. Especially the waterbased poly deal for the table saw. I am refurbishing one now so a great tip for me as I was looking into the best protection. I'll post an article on your forum when I'm done. SHould be in a week or so. Thanks for all that you do. Dennis B
Hey John, this was a great video, a bunch of good info. I have this dent in my fore head were I keep smacking myself when I say " why didn't I think of that" ! Well your compass tip added another dent. You come upp with some neat stuff, please keep shareing.
I've been using parquet varnish on my saws for a few years now. It was an idea borrowed from a post on a restoration blog for a really beautiful Rogers miter planer. The guy would regularly use thinned out regular varnish to coat the exposed surface when the tool was not in use and would remove the coat kind of like you'd peel off a protection sheet of a screen when he'd use it.
Thanks for sharing the rust test. I would not have guessed the polyurethane to be so effective. I assume it also provides a very smooth surface on the table saw?
I turn a lot of green wood and have tried everything from wax, glide cote to boesheild t9 and nothing works as good as water based poly to keep rust off the bed ways. Thanks for the great tip.
Believe it or not the auto industry uses that too for repairables! When I rebuilt my 2014 dart, I had to use a hammer and a 2x4 to pound the rear quarter straight! Works wonders!
Thanks John I just got a table saw to make chopping boards to get a side living and I'm planning to use them handles on them, if you don't mind that is, thanks pal
Great test John. I need to do that to my table top. I'm betting the next time you drop and break that fan it will go in the trash. I expected you to do feet as well. :)
+WoodRodent Nah, he will just fix it with more wood. After enough accidents, it will be a 100% wooden fan. Even if ends up keeping crewmembers cool aboard the Ship of Theseus.
I've been offered a spindle sander for cheap, but not sure how much benefit I would get from it. I manage fine with the belt sander with either a straight or curved backplate, would I benefit further from a spindle sander?
Great idea on the waterbased poly. Few questions, as I would love to do this for my garage shop. What sheen of poly did you use or does that matter? What's the friction like after you put the poly on and do you also wax or use any other coatings? Thanks for all your content, always great.
Would you be willing to put water based poly on your hand planes bodies? I've got a few nice veritas planes that I have to regularly maintain to keep rust off...
Water based polyurethane... We have two types in Australia, it'd seem... "water based", and "water based oil modified" is there a difference that you know of between the two?
Great tip for the rust protection. Do you think it needs to be water based poly? I've got a bunch of extra oil based poly laying around that I'd like to use. I watched the video with the square too. You might make these videos separate. I'm about to clean some rust off of my table saw and I knew you had a tip but it took me forever to find it at the end of the other videos. Thanks for your videos.
It's really nice to see that you get a lot of use from your mitre saw, I bought a decent Makita sliding mitre saw a few years ago but I've never been as happy with the results as I thought I would be, am I doing something wrong?
hi John this is another great video thank you so much for providing this content. I have a question for you of all the sanding machinery that you have in your shop which one do you think is the most useful or recommended the first one to buy / build for a new shop. particularly for a small shop. thanks again

I'd like to see more photos of you with your fan. Perhaps go on tour or something.
I don't know if 5 years in your shop is enough of a test. You're so dainty and gentle with your stuff.
+krtwood Just ask my camera :D
5 years for soft woods and moving that much weight is a decent amount of time.
what a good guy, taking selfies with all your fans lol
That rust protection method is quite impressive!

Great tip Dave. I'm going to use it for all of my metal equipment and tools.
Take care and be safe.
Thanks for sharing

+Roy Wrenn John*
+James A opppps. Your right. Sorry John.
Thanks for the rust tip John. I just got a new bandsaw and will definitely put some poly on it to protect it!
I love these shop tips btw. Very helpful for people just getting into woodworking.

+Dennis Bonvillian Looking forward to it :)
Made these handles yesterday. Love them.
Really liked the bonus with the test on rust prevention. Very nice experiment with a control :)

Thanks John...Simple when you know how!
A lot of really good options for drawer pulls - Great tip for creating a radius on smaller pieces of stock.
Thanks for sharing the rust test. I would not have guessed the polyurethane to be so effective. I assume it also provides a very smooth surface on the table saw?
That bandsaw needs an "I Built It" logo as does many of those bare surfaces on the things you did. Still fun after all these years. Thx.
Excellent advice on using polyurethane to make it waterproof, many many thanks
The wooden blinds look amazing. I have to find that video!
Thanks for what you do
Thank you, made 20 handles today, very much a beginner, but learning
That fan complete montage was so hilarious xD
The music, all of it was just so unexpectedly sarcastic and funny
like the handles you made and learnt a lot. Thanks!
Those "Fan Selfies" really cracked me up! Now that's what i call "FINE WOODWORKING"! :)
Great tips and love the handles.
Those turned out nice. Great video John.
+RetroWeld Thanks :)
Always a pleasure to watch, well explained.
+Francis Barnett Thanks :)
I love the knob.
Great idea, thanks for the plans.
I turn a lot of green wood and have tried everything from wax, glide cote to boesheild t9 and nothing works as good as water based poly to keep rust off the bed ways. Thanks for the great tip.
Rust experiment is awesome!
I love the "budget" hammer and dolly set for straightening the fan box. The handles are ok too I guess, haha.
Believe it or not the auto industry uses that too for repairables! When I rebuilt my 2014 dart, I had to use a hammer and a 2x4 to pound the rear quarter straight! Works wonders!
I adopted this method of making pulls since I first saw this video and prefer them to store bought pulls any day of the week.
nice. will use both on my projects. thanx
Thanks for the tips, another great video
Thanks John I just got a table saw to make chopping boards to get a side living and I'm planning to use them handles on them, if you don't mind that is, thanks pal
just bought some water based poly, I'm going to try that on my cast iron tops. Other things I've tried don't work so well
Love your videos! Thanks for the tips.
Dat gnarly fan knob, I love it! :D
Nice tidbits of info.
Photos with the fan, very funny.
Rust test was really impressive.
Thank you Sir!
Great test John. I need to do that to my table top. I'm betting the next time you drop and break that fan it will go in the trash. I expected you to do feet as well. :)
+WoodRodent Nah, he will just fix it with more wood. After enough accidents, it will be a 100% wooden fan. Even if ends up keeping crewmembers cool aboard the Ship of Theseus.
And I'll watch the next one too!
nice tip great video. bob

Thanks for all your content, always great.
You seem relaxed and content lately. Relieved that the busy summer has come to an end?
Just curious. What size is your shop? Mine is 22 x 13, and I never seem to have enough room.
I like the handles
Would you be willing to put water based poly on your hand planes bodies? I've got a few nice veritas planes that I have to regularly maintain to keep rust off...
Good stuff I forget I've got things like this to get done as well
Would you suggest waxing over the waterbased to let it slide easier?
Thank you, I have to do this to my new table saw before it gets rusted. Water based polyurethane - wiped on and wiped off.
Selfie with a fan...wait, I'm a fan, too!
Thanks.
ha! synthesizer montage for the win
Im a Fan.
Water based polyurethane... We have two types in Australia, it'd seem... "water based", and "water based oil modified" is there a difference that you know of between the two?
I wish I would have seen that bit on paste wax at the end 4 months ago when I got my first cast iron table saw lol
You don't have a jointer? So, what is wrong with using your DeWalt planer?
Great tip for the rust protection. Do you think it needs to be water based poly? I've got a bunch of extra oil based poly laying around that I'd like to use. I watched the video with the square too. You might make these videos separate. I'm about to clean some rust off of my table saw and I knew you had a tip but it took me forever to find it at the end of the other videos. Thanks for your videos.
lo e watching your videos mate thanks
what about some feet for that fan to keep it from tipping over so easily? No half measures now
It's really nice to see that you get a lot of use from your mitre saw, I bought a decent Makita sliding mitre saw a few years ago but I've never been as happy with the results as I thought I would be, am I doing something wrong?
What are the dimensions of your workshop?
Nice video John ... Do you use different Saw blades for Ripping and Crosscutting ?
Hi would the wipe on protection work on my aluminium (cheap ) table saw .from 1 of your Scottish fans .G
hi John this is another great video thank you so much for providing this content. I have a question for you of all the sanding machinery that you have in your shop which one do you think is the most useful or recommended the first one to buy / build for a new shop. particularly for a small shop. thanks again
+Ozzy Deschapell My belt sander platform: www.ibuildit.ca/Workshop%20Projects/belt-sander-1.html
Preferred brand of water based polyurethane???
now its time to put a custom flame job on the fan lol
When are you going to take an old planner and make a jointer?
+Marc Eaton Thinking about making one from scratch, even the cutter head.
Looking forward to that build, thanks.
Any update on the game of thrones table?
What about carnauba?
I can always find something round I can't always find my compass
Love your videos! Thanks for the tips.
