Brilliant video Ramon! Mis-Takes are a part of life-we need to embrace them as they help keep us humble. Please give my best to your Lovely Lady
Ha…! This made my lady smile. And yeah…for sure. “Mis-takes” are where we grow! thanks
Learning with Ramon, what a fine teacher, thanks.
Thank you! I’m learning too! 😬
Ramon. I'm so glad you became a YT instructor! You inspire me to work towards doing better work! Stuff like this that seems obvious when you show it, however, I rarely ever think of as a casual hobbyist. I love your laid-back approach to teaching as well and I hope YT has helped make your personal business flourish even more than before - BYT (before you tube) lol..
Thank you. I really appreciate this feedback. YT vids are a ton of work with little pay but I absolutely love sharing things that work for me.
Great tips and tricks, I learn something in every video, thanks for sharing Ramon.
That is great to hear! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback!
Awesome video of fixes! Appreciate all the amazing tips/tricks! Thank you...
Glad to hear this…I appreciate the feedback! Thanks a ton for watching
great video, it's just human to repair your own mistakes, no matter how good of a craftsman you are, we all are making mistakes, the only mistake you cannot really fix is cutting a smaller size than you need from the length of the piece. great video.
Yep, they surely happen! Thanks for the input…and thanks for watching!
Thought I was crazy for writing the glue up time for reference. Glad I’m not the only one
Right!? Since we usually work on multiple areas of the job or even different projects at once, known glue up times makes it easy to bounce around and continue. Thanks for watching!
Super fun and satisfying video!
Great to hear…come back for more 🙏🏼
Awesome tips, thank you.
Thank you for checking it out!
Another great video, Ramon. It's nice to see you making some of the same mistakes that I've made and to see your approach to fix them. As always, there is lots of great information in this video. I need to make one of those bandsaw setup jigs for my large bandsaw 🙂 Thanks Ramon!!
I realize as I get older, “mis-takes” don’t bother me as much. I always feel like they’re good practice! 😆 The bandsaw setup jig is a pleasure to use! Simple, but very effective. Cheers brother
Excellent video my friend!! Thanks for the tips. I fix mis-takes in a similar fashion, cut the mis-take to have a mateable surface and then cut a piece that matches grain direction and hopefully the color.
Right!? It works pretty well most of the time. Mother Nature can be forgiving. Thanks!
Love everything you do, always watch
Thank you…I appreciate that. 🙏🏼
That Lennox Woodmaster is an excellent blade. Have one myself and nothing I have used compares
Yeah…I like em. I do get a lot of them that have bad welds where the blade moves forwards and backwards. It doesn’t seem to affect the cut…just a bit annoying.
Although I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years, screw ups still happen. All too often. On rare occasions, it’s out of my control - timber splits where I couldn’t see a fault: machine fails. Mostly, however, it’s me - getting tired and lack of patience are my two common demoninators.
I’ve got two posters in my shop. One says “patience and precision = perfection. Even now, I struggle to live up to this. It’s mainly because I’m getting tired (after just a couple of hours) and I still think to myself “let’s just get this done” that’s when mistakes occur. I now try (often failing) to say to myself “how am I feeling? Am I mentally and physically right to do this next step”.
When mistakes are made, I have a variety of fixes. If they will never be seen and don’t affect the structural integrity, I leave them. If it’s a small component, I remake. If it’s a large component, I do fix with Dutchmen or wedges - or even make a feature if it feels right.
Tiredness and pain. They are my main enemies. Don’t laugh - you will all get there.
The second poster is “just because you can. Doesn’t mean you should” I can make all kinds of very intricate joints and features. They often, not only do not add to the design, but take away. It’s really saying, simple can be best.
I always like your feedback! And I dig the poster messages. I try to think of “mis-takes” as a learning opportunity. Because really, that is when we grow and get better. Thank you tons
When you were fixing chips on the shoulders of tenons like in the first clip, I thought you might find the right color/grain match on the tenon itself. Then repair the tenon with anything handy, or leave it if the missing piece is small.
That’s a good idea! Always learning. Many thanks
Ramon, great info once again! Do you have a video on “trueing” your plane surfaces? Thx
Amen, id love to see a video on that!
I’ve trued one plane that was pretty severe, but I cheated. I used my dads Bridgeport 😆
@@ramonartful What’s a Bridgeport? I goggled it and it came up with a whole bunch of different things such as boats, places, etc…
Oh! It's a common brand of milling machine. Kinda like a drill press on steroids. It can do many operations but what it commonly gets used for is truing up a metal surface. Like a hand plane!😁@@tundrawhisperer4821
That new domini plate looks great and that plastic one is rubish i have a fear thou that when i do buy a domino i will spend the same if not the more money on your asecories 😂😂 but for now i am maneging for now with the lamello x and the lamello Zeta and lammelo does know how to make a proper plate
Ha ha…my accessories are inexpensive compared to Festool! 😆 And yeah, I’ve heard good things about out Lamello!
These long training sessions are awesome ❤. In case people don’t know that belt sander weighs about 50 lbs and you need special education to operate it properly. Then again NOBODY uses a belt sander like Ramon, or as accurately. It’s all in the arms 💪
Ha ha thanks man. Truth be told and I say this often…using a belt sander at first will feel awkward. It seems as though there is a lot of bad opinion about belt sanders. Many people think they’re just for rough work…sanding that old wooden deck or rough sanding that outdoor table. Start with a smooth belt. Maybe 100, 120 or even 150 grit. Feel the weight, and center or balance point of the sander. It can be moved side to side or back n forth or both…just some stop in one place! 😆 With just a little practice, one begins to feel the “footprint” that it has. Try to keep that footprint dead flat whilst it’s running. That’s it. Practice. Screw something up. Practice more. And soon you’ll be using it all the time. Then one can start using the appropriate grit. I’d say I use mostly 120 & 180 grit. Belt sanders rule! They’re (I have four) my most used machine in the shop! Cheers brother 👊🏼
