I made a clamp holder today. It came out… fine. The next one will have a taller back because I wish this engaged with the next cleat below for more heft.
On the plus side, I got to use the bandsaw I got working recently, and my old 1946 drill press.

back on the bandsaw repair:
I've fully quantified just how cursed this arbor is. the hole in the back was drilled at a slight angle, this is the hole that slips onto the motor shaft, so the arbor has a wobble.
The threaded hole that accepts a bolt & washer to hold the wheel on is straight, but drilled in the center of the bottom of the angled hole, so it's offset.
I did a small test wheel attempting to counteract for these shenanigans, and it mostly worked.
I'm gonna try it on a full size print next. We'll see what it looks like in the morning!

OK, this is pretty unhinged, but I managed to print a replacement wheel for my bandsaw that came without the high speed drive wheel.
While “it works”, I’m going to have this either machined or printed out of a more suitable material, because running this for any length of time to actually do work seems like A Bad Idea™️
The arbor that it sits on is somewhat cursed. It’s used for the low speed settings, but the hole for the shaft is not straight, causing it to wobble. The extra credit assignment would be to counter that in the drive wheel design

It's been a bit, but Matt (AKA @cmdevans) has finally posted another video. Even better, he's posted Part 3 of his Anarchist's Tool Chest build, and the video doesn't appear to be cursed!

So Matt (AKA @Woodmachinist )'s next video for his Traditional Tool Chest build series has been posted, and honestly...I think this series might be cursed. Just watch for yourselves, and you'll see what I mean.

Also: Shout-out to his editor for trying her damnedest to make this work.

I have today procured rafters to aid me in #roofing a building unit to serve as #vocationalskills classroom.
We are intensifying our vocational skills initiatives and dedicating a home on campus for these activities. #tailoring , #carpentry, #buildingandconstruction , #fineart and #craftmaking are top on the agenda.

Giving our learners extra vocational skills to their learning opens their horizons to success more.

With Science, we can progress

Circa 1981

"A film made by Roger Hateley, this film documents the entire process of making a wooden horse cart, beginning with the wheels, to the finished article. The carriage is to be used for the annual Hayride, one of the largest processions of horse-drawn vehicles in England."

Notes on #trackSaw usage:

- I was originally using a 3/4 sheet of OSB on saw horses, then 2” pink insulation. The OSB is heavy AF and I’ve seen people just use insulation directly on horses. This is probably fine for straight cuts, but miter cuts get wavy without the additional support.
- the rubber grippy surface on the bottom of the track really does work well. My first time around I was using the clamps for every cut, but I went without today and didn’t have any troubles (in that department anyway)
- when alternating between miter and straight cuts (like when cutting cleats) make sure to readjust the depth stop as soon as you’re done with the miter so you don’t cut too deep into the insulation.
- centec makes a great hose kit to deal with the myriad of dust port sizes on various gear. It’s a great kit, but damn I wish I got the anti-static version. It works great as long as you remember to turn on the vacuum.
- the centec kit I got came with a rigid tube and the kind of adapters you usually get with a shop vac. They’re nice, but there’s a noticeable difference in cleanup with the smaller hose; best to switch back to the chonky hose that came with the vac.

Mostly for my own memory, but maybe it’s helpful to someone else.

I didn't even know they had contests like this. (Gifted Article)

"The Tiny Home Construction Contest Is a Big Deal in This Texas Town

A Texas high school has won more championships in mock tiny home construction than any other school in the country. Could a team of rookies defend the title?"

#Accounting, #SlideRules, #penmanship, #shorthand, #typing, #telegraphy, and #carpentry were taught to school children in Burma, well into the 1980s. I think it would be socially beneficial to teach these skills to young American kids, today.

Basic accounting and personal finance are useful skills for adults, and indispensable for college kids wielding credit cards.

The slide rule endows the student with a keener understanding of various functions and, more importantly, always to check one's results, mentally.

Being able to write in a beautiful, cursive script with a fountain pen may now be but a party trick, but it still is an important social skill.

Shorthand offers a massive advantage in note taking. Given that every child learns to type social media posts well before they first learn to speak, proper typing technique should be taught to children, for efficiency, for preventing repetitive stress injuries, etc.

Telegraphy is valuable in aviation: VOR and NDB navigation aids transmit their identifiers in Morse code. And Morse code is still a thing in the amateur radio scene.

Teaching kids basic carpentry, like making a rough table, is of limited utility, but they will never forget that experience of making something out of raw materials.

Above all, these old skills are cool, at least in some circles. And if nothing else, these activities will surely keep them off social media.

No wonder im tired- this represents probably 30 hours of labour from design, construction, finishing and installation. But im checking proud. Custom closet organizer, western maple desk and drawer fronts. Still have two shelves to make! #woodworking #cabinetmaking #desktop #carpentry #making #maker

Just water popping the grain, but this is so pretty. #woodworking #cabinetmaking #desktop #woodwork #carpentry

Surfaced and cut to shape! #woodworking #cabinetmaking #desktop #woodwork #carpentry

And all glued up! #woodworking #cabinetmaking #desktop #woodwork #carpentry

Time to dry fit the glue up! #woodworking #cabinetmaking #desktop #woodwork #carpentry

Western Maple is very pretty. This is prepped to be glued up tomorrow.

The nice thing is that this is going in our house!

Take heed my advice.

If you are getting someone in to do some work for you check out their credentials, see if they have photos of their work and just be a bit more weary before parting with your cash as you may end up with this and your building inspector will not like you.

It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I measured a piece of glass wrong. That’s a £160 mistake. 😂🙄

Pro-Tip: when working with oil based wood stains, most of the solids and pigment settle at the bottom; to achieve true color potential, slowly stir the contents taking care to scrape the solids on the bottom.
Careful to not stir to vigorously or you will stain more than you sample piece.
