6 month ago i started to make my own holds and your vids are my refference, i like the time and dedication you put in each of them and it shows is the result. hope you keep uploading!
Using the countersunk bolts is probably less work (you don't have to glue in a washer) and just seems to be more intuitive for me when working with wood. Furthermore, the wooden moon holds are probably the wooden holds with the largest production volume and they also use countersunk bolts and I haven't heard of any issues.
The small trim routers are definitely less sketchy! I'm using one quite often (especially when making crimps), but it doesn't take the bit with the larger diameter. That's why I'm using a bigger router here...
@@wurfttobias I appreciate the quick response. So perhaps the perfect all-in-one tool would for example be the "hybrid" Makita rt0700cx2j... (is 8mm sufficient for the larger holds)? Anyhow, I consider your tutorials the golden standard, and the same goes for the holds themselves. Great work.
@@gregorcerjak7607 That's exactly the trim router model I'm using. :) Still too small for a bigger, comfortable radius I'm sometimes looking for. Thanks for your feedback :)
I am assuming the sanding pad was the one you had on your drill? How did you attach it to the angle grinder? It looks much easier to use on the grinder than on a drill thats for sure :D Lovely work as always!
Yes, it's the same sanding pad! Way better to work with on the angle grinder (variable speed angle grinder, so I don't burn the pads). The pad has a M14 thread that fits my angle grinder (plus a short bolt to attach it to the drill). Thanks man!
@@wurfttobias Thanks for the reply :) Two more questions (sorry aha) In your opinion what is more important, getting a bandsaw or belt sander. My situation is that I have a hand belt sander but difficult to use properly imo. Also what is your opinion on belt sanders, as in how would your carbatech belt sander compare with a cheaper option like the Ryobi 370W Belt and Disc Sander? I know the carbatech one would have more power in it and likely be a larger surface but I am keen to get further into this and curious if I should hold out for a better carbatech one or get the cheapy for now or just go for a bandsaw.
Hey! Is there the possibility to clamp your belt sander to the table? If seen that it is possible with some hand belt sander... I think your question is tricky to answer. I first worked with both tools in a workshop of a friend of mine to see if I really need them. In general, I spend more time sanding then sawing and the band saw was more expensive which is why I would recommend a belt sander. But that also depends how you do your cuts right now? (Is it safe?) Regarding your last point: in my opinion underpowered tools are not worth the money because then I always had to buy twice... Hope this was helpful in any way? Cheers
Tobias Wurft I have been putting belt sander upside down and clamped to a table but it isn’t that great as it’s an old unit and I don’t it hard to keep things square on it. I think the backing has moved but this is one I have borrowed from a mate. So need to get something myself eventually. With cuts I have been using a normal woodsaw and vice which isn’t great. I do have a jigsaw which works well for small crimps but lots of limitations on getting angles so more work with grinder etc Yes, very helpful still

Thanks Guido! I will continue uploading. :)
indeed I think these holds you made are really good and on the wall you always need good holds to warm up. Brilliant work!!
Thanks mate!
Any reason you prefer flat head bolts over a socket bolts and a washer?

Would you say the smaller palm routers would be less sketchy to use for making the holds as compared to the router you're using, or not really?

what kind of timber are you using? I'm hearing matter? mater? :)
Back then, I thought I was using Matai but I'm pretty sure now that the red stuff is Jarrah. :)

What type of woodsaw do you use? Have you tried using a japanese pull saw? They do a really good job and aren't very expensive...
