Stumpy,

Went to store to actually buy something. Not clear? 5 bucks would be great. I have a couple of bucks to send your way. LOL Have you considered an instructional video w/projects, as your a pretty good communicator.

Watched your video and checked out your plans. This seems fairly straight forward, however I am concerned about the locking mechanism (or apparent lack there of) to keep the router from falling down to a lower depth-what did you do to address this? How about the amount of play/variance with the drawer slides? Also, as I am new (as of today) to your videos, it seems that they're more of an entertainment video with snipets of work rather than an instructional videos like I have seen and become accustomed to from other people (WWMM, MBW, WoodWhisperer). Is this your "style"? Just curious so I can get a better grasp on your methods. Either way, I agree with many others and say they are DEFINITELY entertaining and funny to watch!

Thanks,
Sam

Sam- Thanks for watching! I don't know if I would call my style "an entertainment video with spinets of work", but I understand what you are referring to. I find a lot of woodworking videos out there to be boring. I really don't think we need more footage of someone sawing a piece of wood or making an end table that appeals to him but few others will end up making. I try to focus my "show" on the workshop, not the projects. You can watch my show to get new ideas on how to make your shop better, new jigs to try out, tool reviews, etc. Then you can take those new jigs and such and use them to make the projects you like. I am not a fine woodworker, though I do try to do fine work. So mine isn't really the same kind of show that Charles Neil or Tommy MacDonald does. For those who seriously want to hone their skills, they should watch those guys. But they can also get a lot of info from me too, just in a different sort of way.

As for entertainment… sure. I try to make it entertaining. But I don't put on an act. That's exactly the way I am in real life. It drives some people nuts. But on the show, people seem to like it. But you will notice that each episode does have a structure. There is always a central project being made, a tool review of some sort, a tip or trick segment, and usually something else. I am going to be adding a hand tool segment in the near future. So I try to pack a lot into every episode.

As for the router lift… I have not found a need for a locking mechanism. But you are not the first person to ask that, so I may just add one to the plans. Drawer slides have very little play when they are not fully extended. This uses a set of 10" slides, but you will not be lowering it near that much. So that avoids a lot of potential movement. However, I did encounter movement perpendicular to the slides. I fixed that by designing an adjustable tracking feature (using a pair of carriage bolts) to the inside of the lift and it took care of it quite nicely.

As I say in the video, a homemade setup will never be as good as an expensive machined one. If you need absolute precision, you should buy one from Incra or Kreg. But this homemade option is perfect for most woodworkers.

Hope this answered your questions!

Stumpy-
Maybe you should consider using all those antique hand tools you have collected, and using some muscle skill instead of trying to compete with IKEA on making particle board furniture with your mechanical "power" tools.

Your dust / lung problem is only one problem you might eliminate. Among others there could be a lessening of negative satire on the state of creative crafts persons to make general items or the value of junk tools and fixtures vs true design and consideration of practical applications.

You attempt to pseudo guide people to save money while using simplified methods of industrial manufacturing companies, yet most people only want to get into their shops and make something they can be proud of.

And most people don't have room for table saws and jointers and router tables, etc.. ad nauseum, They might have a big table with a vise. A saw, maybe a clamp or two, possibly a square and a plane.

Give them a break man, you don't know what might happen. Get off the power tool bandwagon, promoted by all these big companies as the only way to work wood.

The only reason I don't think you're another commercial whore is because I have not seen you charge anyone yet for your blasphemy. And your problem is you follow the ideal the electrical power is the primary way to go.

You should rethink your objective my friend, then have another cold one.

Best Regards,
Frank Salinas

Wow, Fleetfoot.

If you'd watched more than one episode you'd know that I am not some moron who just makes crap out of particle board. I am, in fact, a moron who loves my workshop and is always looking for ways to make it better. To me, making your own tools and jigs is a lot of fun. I also own some very nice commercially made stuff. And I guarantee my hardwood pile is bigger than 90% of woodworkers'. I'm just not a fru-fru woodworker who thinks everything has to be made from mahogany to be called woodworking.

But, your condescending, insulting comments were fun to read, if totally inaccurate. You have really missed the mark on this one. Must be very embarrassing for you…

Frank,
I suggest that you move the bed away from the wall. This way when you "wake up on the wrong side of the bed", you don't slam your head against the wall. The long term effects are starting to manifest themselves!!!

There are many individual journey's of people who are doing woodworking. Hand tools and power tools are available. Our choices and circumsatances as well as who we are provide a direction for our journey. There are many abilities, styles, and directions shared here.

When I find a creative work that I appreciate I usually comment in some way why it grabs my attention? I have shownNoprojects myself as what I have time to do is what I would consider carpenty, and house building. I am still working on getting a creative piece that I want to show, and these guys keep me inspired.

People like Stumpy, Benji Reyes, Paw-Paw, all have different journey's they share. Sorry Dave! LOL! Super Dave too!

Each of these folks take risks in creativity and inspire the rest of us…Me…to keep moving forward. I left out all the great box makers here on LJ's.

Critiques are important feedback as they help us look at our work. We can present what we think without disparaging the effort?

Stumpy tends to use Irony, much like Red Green while encouraging the people who watch to relax and try new things to help out in the wood shop. He has responded to Lj's who want to know why he isn't doing what every other woodworking show is doing.

I'm happy to know of and about him…even though I give him a little irony back? LOL!

I am envious of all those hand tools he has though. LOL!
