FINALLY- The first episode is done! You're gonna LOVE IT!

Maybe "LOVE" is a strong word. But I'm really excited about the final version of the show, and I think most people will feel the same way.

Forget about everything we experimented with before. This is all new. It's been over a year in development, and And I'd like to think it is a pretty unique format! Here's how it works…

The show is designed to have the feel of a single camera "reality" type show. It is meant to be a glimpse into our workshop as if you were just stopping in every week to see what's going on. Projects are always in progress, but not really a "start to finish, one project per episode" kind of thing like most other podcasts. Each episode will flow into the next. For example, the first episode (split into four segments) documents all of the chaos going on in the shop as a couple of important projects move from design through completion. It's hard to describe, but after the first couple episodes I think everyone will get a good feel for the uniqueness of our format.

It's also a lot shorter. But, since we didn't want to cut down on the content of each episode, we just split the episode up into four weekly parts. This week is Episode 1, part one, and next week is part 2, and so on. This will allow us to keep the special segments we wanted, like tool reviews, shop tours, a bit of comedy, and a lot more.

So, watch the first episode, tell me what you think…

QUICK RUNDOWN OF EPISODE 1 PART 1:
Most of the time is spent on a unique mini traditional woodworking bench for a small shop. In the meantime, Stumpy begins work on his design for the Charles Neil Throwdown.

(Part 2 is already finished, so this should begin a series of regular, weekly releases instead of big gaps between parts)

Spray finishing: Cheap, less cheap, and a little pricey

A special tool review episode takes a look at sprayers that are good for a small shop.

And a look at Charles Neil's new online finishing course… that and more on the latest episode of Blue Collar Woodworking!

Stone, paper, daimonds... Sharpening made simple!

Part one of a two episode sharpening series takes a look at the manual sharpening methods including "scary sharp" using sand paper, oil and water stones, and diamond plates. Stumpy gives some money saving ideas for surface plates and diamond sharpening, reviews the Rockler plate glass sharpening system, and gives a behind the scenes look at what's been going on in the workshop…. that and more on the latest episode of Blue Collar Woodworking!

You should investigate lowering the tablesaw vs raising the bench! A hydraulic or pneumatic lift system to make it disappear beneath the floor, possibly with some automatically retractable sliding floor mats? Course your helpers would have to dig out the pit below, unless you have some secret labyrynth of caves already. Just an idea!

A tool stand that rotates like a ferris wheel? Oh no he did-n't!!!

After a particularly enjoyable ride with the mother-in-law on a ferris wheel, Stumpy takes that good old American "carney" knowledge and creates a flip-top tool stand that rotates instead of flips, and holds four tools or machines rather than two! Plus a great tip for stone sharpening without making a mess, a free jig plan that turns your woodworking vise into a "super-duper" woodworking vise, and more on the latest episode of Blue Collar Woodworking!

The amazing box joint machine version 2.0- Better than ever?

Maybe a bit too much hype? Well, I'm pretty excited about this new "invention". I think it's an improvement over the box joint machine I built a couple of years ago. Not that the first one wasn't perfectly fine, I just thought I could make it even better. So here's the new jig- presented in a mock interview format that I think you'll enjoy!

This has got to be one of, if not your very best projects. This is something I absolutely want to fit into a wing of my table saw once I save up for a new fence kit, with longer rails.

Want to improve your dust collector's efficiency? Take a look at the filters! In this episode we talk about what kind of filters are best, and why- then we build a "manometer" to tell us when our filters need cleaning. (You can skip to the 8:00 mark for the manometer build details)

Having investigated dust collection, cartridge filters and such, much of the info was a refresher course. However, the building of the manometer is new & a great idea!!!

Thanks for doin' what you do!!!

New Festool CMS style sliding top router table you can build yourself!

It's been two years since we built our homemade sliding router table, and it's time to make some improvements. This is one you HAVE to see!

It may look like a regular router table, but the front of the top slides in a precision track, making it safer and more useful than any I've ever used. Great for coping rails, safely routing small parts, the possibilities are endless.

It's a great show, you might even laugh a little. So check it HERE!

Another great episode! Which has got me wondering if this sliding sled idea could be incorporated with a regular router table and fence? Hmm….. Will have to give that some thought.

Two-Stage Drum Sander- This is one AWESOME homemade machine!

I've built my share of homemade tools, including five different drum sanders. But this one is by far my favorite! It's a two stage unit, which means you can use BOTH the top and the bottom of the drum. Pass flat stock through like a regular drum sander (using the hand crank feed belt) OR sand work pieces on top of the drum like a "Sand Flea" V-Drum sander.

It's all in the video, with some tongue-in-cheek humor and more, so enjoy!

(I can't get the video to embed on LumberJocks, so please watch it here)

Super-duper-yooper-pooper table saw crosscut sled- Part 1 of 2

We don't do anything small. Not even crosscut sleds! This one has extendable fences, zero clearance inserts, micro-adjusters and three attachable jigs for finger joints, splined miters, half laps, bridle joints, tenons and more! This is part one- where I build the sled itself. In part two I'll build the attachments.

You can get detailed instructions for the project here.

What makes a good cyclone? (Let's make one from wood...)

A long, long time ago we produced four episodes (90 minutes in total) full of useful information about Bill Pentz' research and what is required for good fine dust collection. And we built a fill size cyclone with TWO blowers out of wood!

This is a condensed version (15 minutes) of those original videos, containing just the best info and the project build- minus the fluff. It's a great resource for anyone interested in improving the air in their shops!

Make your ambient air cleaner (Jet, Delta, etc.) a lot better!

If you own, plan to buy, or even make an overhead ambient air cleaner, you have to see this… I'm tired of buying expensive replacement filters, so I mounted a Wynn cartridge to my Jet air cleaner! It made the system WAY more efficient (lots more airflow), improved my air quality (the Wynn filter is MERV15), and I'll never have to change it (the filter is infinitely cleanable). I made this video as part of our NEW DUST COLLECTION SECTION of our website to show you how to do it yourself!

A Unique CNC made clock-camera, and first impressions of the CNC Shark HD3

This was my first CNC project, which gave me a chance to try out the CNC shark HD3. While I make it you will hear my opinion of the machine, and CNC woodworking in general. I love this project because it is unique as far as CNC woodworking goes. It doesn't LOOK like a CNC project!

You may also like to read my comparison of the CNC Shark and the X-Carve, along with some tips on what to look for in any CNC machine you may be considering. You can read that here.
