Hi I’m Gary from Arizona. I love the kind of work that your doing. Ten years ago i made a fold up work bench from scraps. I made a video on YT and the home center stores sell saw horses for a fortune so i made 2 out of old 2x4s. Much better and cost nothing. Thanks for your videos. ( keep cutting wood )
Wow! Good to see you again! Nice work. Always enjoy your videos. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. Great story and imagination 👌. Thanks for the update. 😀
Lovely video. You do amazing work. You're videos always cover a lot and you do a great job of explaining aspects that others might gloss over. I feel that you put yourself out there and it is very much appreciated, as well as refreshing. We get get the whole picture of you and your work. The bevel guage/compass combo is a great idea! I have not seen it before, so, original I am guessing. I will stay tuned to see what becomes of it. I would buy one from you. Thanks for video. Be well.
what about making your own oak dowels? That way, you could make sure the grain in the dowels are relatively intact and stronger. Usually, purchased dowels are just cut out of whatever stock and there's no attention to the grain, so it's kind of a crap-shoot to get good, strong dowels.
for that reason I've been using Linux (Ubuntu), and there is a lot of software to meet most of our needs by now. I also use Blender, DaVinci, InkScape, GIMP, Libre Office, DarkTable, ThunderBird, VLC Player. most of the software works few times faster than on other operating systems, especially DaVinci + nVidia rendering is a breeze on Ubuntu with a good laptop. as for woodworking or engineering for that matter, I work in a very similar way to Kevin's. which is I am very easily "distracted" (but not really) with the better idea as I'm working on something / prototyping, and at first one may think I'm wasting a lot of time, "abandoning" projects "half way" etc. however, at some point it all starts coming together, and then the genius of it shines. for people like Kevin, it takes a lot more time to do the setup and prototyping, but once he works it all out, he switches to the supersonic jet production mode, which you would never be able to beat, without having done all the initial preparation / research / jigs / ideas etc. well done man!
Love your problem solving and process. And how you explain HOW you got into the mess in the first place. Always enjoy your videos. I also dislike the current tendency for companies to rent their software rather than just sell it. Can see their point but I don't like it.
I'm the exact same way in regard to software. Avoiding subscriptions like the plague and learn enough to get the results I want ... even if it's a hack method.
That is a climb cut. It actually ends up doing both though. The way I had to define it in Vcarve was between two circles on the 3d surface to get it to avoid the bolt in the center. Because of the two vectors it tries to do a climb/ conventional on both of the vectors so it changes direction in the middle. To get it to start at the outside instead of the inside (this was the most important thing) I had to start with a separate toolpath with the circles almost the same size and this toolpath was at a much slower feedrate because it has a lot of material to remove. It still ends up reversing direction though in basically the same place and not really doing anything but still at that slow feedrate. This was the part that was really slowing things down.
@@krtwood Sorry, I wrote the opposite of I was trying to say, I just edited it, Hehehe ! I don't have experience in VCarve, but soon, I hope... Thanks for the explanation, Cheers !
nicely done, your attention to detail and forethought is remarkable unfortunately, I think eventually we will all be forced to get over the software-lease-aversion or learn programming
My friends, did you forget to replenish your stash, but still wish to see your tenuous grip on reality slip further away? Try hand sanding up to our long lasting 400 grit. Let us all know how it went. PS, the subtitles are a big help for some of us old folks.

You might as well think of a big number for the big tree, because you KNOW some smart alec is going to ask to buy it.
PS, love the intro voiceover...
PPS: really big number.
@@Wordsnwood One millllllllion dollars
Since I'm going to be offering a quantity discount they are going to say they want 2 little ones and the big one for $60.
@@krtwood sell by weight 🤑🤣
Good video update. Like the large tree looks very Bavarian.
Merry Christmas Kevin ! Miss seeing your videos, sending all our best !
I love the set up to spin off the excess oil
Wow! Good to see you again! Nice work. Always enjoy your videos. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. Great story and imagination 👌. Thanks for the update. 😀
The tree top piece looks like it could have used a pencil-sharpener-like tool to make it, sort of like Matthias Wandel's dowel making jig.
Phenomenal project and dedication to conceive and make ! Great work !!!
Wow this is incredible furniture shop that could love it all .

When they break it isn't a shear on a diagonal grain line, they just tear apart all jagged across the face.
@@krtwood Bummer. I thought I could be the one to save your metaphorical biscuits. Any thoughts on using metal? Good content!
Love these videos . You sure can talk . Brilliant. Keep it up
Absolutely beautiful.
Merry Xmas!

Is there a video on how to make these small trees?

The ornament looks amazing as well
Superb video. I love your ramblings :-)
Today just got better!

If you made scary movies you would be the best movie maker.
Why you use in 11:44 a "climb cutting" instead of a "normal" cutting"? You tested is better that way ? Thanks for sharing !

Miss this content. Hope all is well.
Where did you go? Miss you.
Good job 👍
I miss your get-shit-done initiative! Safe to say it has gone off the rails? :(
nicely done, your attention to detail and forethought is remarkable

I want one of those ornaments.
They will be in my Etsy shop after the Fair, mid August.

Peace
It was worth the wait but please don’t leave the next video so long.
You still alive?
Maybe.
