Streaming Live From the Shop!

Just got the notifier on email. You must not be union or are you on overtime ?? :-)) Sorry, you’re on your own now, I don’t have time to stay and watch you pack, but the video seems to be working OK. Don’t forget to use a Teamster Proof Box!!

Did I miss a “finishing” night / afternoon ?

Todd,

Try placing the router at a window, if you have one that faces the shop/house. Also some routers can have their power boosted by downloading a newer version of the firmware.

Here is a site with information:

Ah, woodworking.

-- Fred

Your “live stream” is working good…I can’t give you much technical help as here we still use two tin cans and a long string!

-- gbear, Carmichael, CA

Thanks for noticing Todd…the table saw work station has been a great improvement. Its much easier to handle long panels and, of course, gives me another surface to pile “stuff” on. By the way, real name is
George Barry. Are you making a wooden shipping box?

-- gbear, Carmichael, CA

I forgot to mention, I’m generally not a huge fan of shaker furniture but your bench looks terrific. I love the choice of wood and the design and would not hesitate to have one in my house.

just logged on—-looks loud and clear in NAPALANDIA…

bench looks great…how much have you motified this design from the first one you built…i know that you have done several,,,,and how much “easier” does it get with each one?

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

thanks todd…gotta go…loooks great…

Nothing like the sound of a table saw at 3.00 in the morning.

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

Beautiful job on the bench man! The stream is awesome!. clear picture, smooth video, and nice clear audio!
Ya…its like handing one of your kids off to strangers..

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

I chopped wood all day , still very cool to watch your feed . Kudos !

do you insure the piece for shipping? How much will u insure it for?

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

was that a custom build or you sold it after you built it?

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

like brad said, really clear audio, a nice treat, and good lighting. probably the first live feed i’ve seen worth watching. of course the bench looks great also.

I worked at a cab shop that had two of those..one loaded with flat white primer and the other pre cat laquer..they are great….but i was thinking of going with an HVLP rigI dont have a big compressor

Is the client going to send you pics of the final resting place for the bench?

-- "You get what you inspect, not what you expect"

i have to admit..technology is cool….i am three time zones away from you..just hanging out in your shop watching you build a crate…shooting the shit..!

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

right now i am building a 12×16 barn shed next to my house so all my woodworking has ground to a halt. Then after i move all the stuff from the garage to the shed i can start turning the gargae into a proper woodshop! starting with a brand new grizzley cabinet saw!

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

i just tonite finneshed up a retaining wall around the area… that was a seperate project all its own! that was an exerscise in frustration..trying to build a square plumb level wall out of wet crooked 4×4’s!

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

2×4’s? glue and finnish nails?

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

I just realized, yours is the second LJ shop I was able to visit today. I had the good fortune of meeting MedicKen this morning when I bought his Grizzly jointer. I loved his shop and yours as well. Appreciate you taking the time to share it with us.

-- "You get what you inspect, not what you expect"

i got one of those with my Porter Cable air gun set i bought…so thats what its good for!

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

It was unbelievable, yes 8”, he plugged it in and it just purred like a kitten.

-- "You get what you inspect, not what you expect"

He lives 4hrs North of me, so I was on the road for 8 hrs today, but it was worth the jointer and opportunity to meet Ken, a great guy. I can’t wait until he finishes rehabbing his other old tools, they are going to look great.

-- "You get what you inspect, not what you expect"

they have a 16” jointer at the place where i buy my hardwood at..it looks like its from the 50’s….

Cool dog!..dogs rule! i have a golden..

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

How old is cookie?

-- "You get what you inspect, not what you expect"

Sweet! Nice friend.

-- "You get what you inspect, not what you expect"

i have been looking through your flikr blog on the bench…that view of your back yard is amazing! .i love that part of the country..

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

Hey Brad – A staple will hold even after the wood rots away. The exterior trim on my current home was installed with staples. In a couple of places the wood has rotted away (another project) but the naked staples are still there and holding air :>)

i really dig your glue up set up..that stacking clamps, and your paper rig for the squeeze out…

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

perfect setup for one man plywood ripping..

-- David, South Windsor, CT "I love the smell of sawdust in the morning"

Todd, I’ve seen you put the frame of the crate on the outside. Is there any practical reason to do so? I’d have the tendency to leave the outside the smoothest possible to avoid it catching up on somewhere and ripping a frame part off.

That’s good to know, so it maybe also helps the people who has to carry it.

-- Jojo, shopless in Kyoto · http://twitter.com/kagushokunin

Take care and good luck

Thanks Todd!

Bye, Todd. And thanks.

Nice work Todd.
