Thanks Steve, keep on keepin on…

 

Stumpy, The new format looks great. Looking forward to the continuation.

First Stumpy I LOVE IT. I think you did great. I liked the content, humor and it keep my attention. I am a bitt of A D D. And you had me the whole time. Don't change a thing. We need another good pod-caster.
Stay yourself it was great and real.
I hope you beat Charles. I always go for the underdog.

 

Thanks Dave

 

Hey Stump! good job on the video! Much better than last time! I'm sure they'll get better and better as you continue making them! Thanks for taking the time and effort!

 

Thanks Dak

 

I thoroughly enjoyed you video Stumpy. After reading the safety debate comments though, I had to go back and watch it again. I wouldn't have noticed any of that if someone had not have pointed it out. I guess I never need to make videos, because I am not a safe wood worker. You use more safety awareness than I do on my best days. I fall into the stubborn ass category. I feel that we take, to a point, a measured risk every time we walk out of the house in the morning. I use common sense when doing anything, including wood working. To me though, if I have to overthink every situation as if it were my last, I would rather go crawl back into my bubble and never take any risks.
Please understand I am not encouraging anyone not to use safety. I only say to do what you are comfortable with. If you are uncomfortable doing any process in the wood shop, you need to back up and think about it. In my opinion, being scared of a machine, or pocess, will cause you injury quicker than not using such and such safety technique will.
In my honest opinion, all accidents in the shop fall into one of four categories, improper knowledge of what one is doing, carelessness, failure to properly maintain equipment, and being nervous about a procedure to the point of not having business performing the operation in the first place.

I apologize if I offend anyone with this analysis. It is only my opinion. If it bothers anyone, then watching me in my shop would probably give you nightmares.

 

If those who picked the video apart to complain about safety issues that were so subtle that most never even notices them, gets "offended" by the other side of the argument… well… that would never happen… would it?

 

I guess I do not understand what you meant in the OP by:

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

I am sorry if you feel that I was being petty.

 

Wait a minute Chuck- You said what you think. I said what I thought. We're both adults, and we can both take it.

You can always say what you think here. That doesn't mean I will always agree.

Don't stop sharing your opinion, even when it's wrong…

 

Your video was great, perhaps someone can make a video on safety for those who seem to want more on that subject. I just want to watch and enjoy woodworking and to forget about the worlds problems.
Thanks Alf

 

Reading all the safety comments has now given me a new idea for the 2×4 contest….an 8' push stick

I would tend to agree with Steve that actual footage of cutting a board need not be much longer than a second. I do wish more woodworking shows would spend a bit more time explaining how they set their tools up for the cut.

As far as inspiration… your project for a narrow woodworking bench has given me an idea for when I add about 6" in depth to my existing workbench to go over where my new drawers stick out (see my projects).

I had no problem with the audio and liked the overall format. I would probably suggest you turn the news off while you are shooting the video.

 

Enjoyed it Stumpy. Will continue to watch. Sometimes I use Gloves also. Carvers finger leathers at times. Hold up better than skin. Educated choices. Sometimes a wet rag on the fence to freshen finger traction. Kudos overall. What is safe for some is not safe for all. You looked comfortable with your tools. Too many people are not. Like it or not their tools scare them.
Be professional, careful and safe.
If you haven't had a close call you ain't been there.

 

You NEED this mini-cabinet maker's bench! (Part 2)

The camera comes back into the Stumpy Nubs Workshop to further document life in a small semi-professional shop…

Includes tips on hand cut dovetails, utility chisels, resawing wide boards on the table saw, glue-ups, and a lot more!

This is part 2 of Episode 1. It begins with making the CN Box, then continues the "amazing mini-cabinet marker's bench".

My favorite part is the footage on cutting tiny dovetails by hand, big ones by machine, and huge ones with a honkin' chisel!

Also included is the first of many "mini-tool reviews".

Enjoy!

 

I like it man,good work.

 

Stumpy Short: What's He making?

Try to figure out what's being made before the end of this short time-lapse video of a unique project!

This concludes the Charles Neil Contest… finally! Look for a new edition of Blue Collar Woodworking this weekend!

 

Great ending to a fun contest!! You both deserve a big Congratulations!

Sheila

 

Shop tour! YAH BABY! (Giant Sanding Machine & More...)

Episode 1 part 3 is about shop efficiency, so we take a look at our workshop and make some layout changes. PLUS, we make some changes to the GIANT SANDING MACHINE and the mini-cabinet maker's bench nears completion. Throw in a bench vise review and some other stuff, and you have a pretty fast moving ten munites!

This is the last part of episode one, and we are still working out some kinks with the software and audio systems. Give it a few episodes before demanding perfection…

 

Good Job on the vid. You're getting there.

 

Time to heat the shop already? + some light humor

This week the cameras catch us installing gas heating in the workshop and we share some of the tips that help us make multiples of the same project fast. Plus, we review the new Trend blade cleaner and their 60 tooth blade and wrap up with the return of the humor segment: "Stumpy's Evening Advice"- where you learn how to get out of making projects for people

By the way ditched the complicated four part per episode numbering system (1-1-2, etc.). You're welcome…

 

COOL - HOT Tips!

Great video!

Thank you!

Have a good one!

 

OUR BEST EPISODE YET- If I do say so myself...

If you haven't seen the show yet, this may be the episode to start with. It's fast moving, introduces a great project, and features the twisted sense of humor that makes Stumpy Nubs videos unique.

This week the workshop finds itself designing a clamp rack that will hold 48 clamps in just 3X2' of wall space.

Then Stumpy reviews "stretchy tape" (whatever that is…)

And finally (my favorite part) Stumpy tries to figure out how to get out of trouble with the wife over buying an expensive new tool. (Funny stuff)

 

Hey Stumpy!

Thank you ever so much for that fantastic Nail Tip!
Now, I will have to spend a lot of time sorting my nails as to what side the house they go on!
What a great way to spend your time on when snuggled in front of a nice warm fire!

Thank you again! Great Tip!

The rest of the Video was good too…

Merry Christmas
and
Happy New Years!

 

Who said Stumpy isn't very sharp?

What do you get when you combine unlimited resources with the greatest woodworking mind ever? This week Stumpy demonstrates the opposite of that…

Stumpy turns his Work Sharp 3000 into a super-duper sharpening machine that works without sandpaper and accepts Tormek jigs. Then turns his sarcasm and twisted humor loose on the viewer emails. (Who knew handplanes and popcorn had so much in common…)

This is part one of a 2 part sharpening series. Next week we make some fully adjustable, sliding grinder tool rests, make our own Tormek jig, and show you how to get a Tormek style wet sharpening system for about $50!

 

Stumpy… you are getting Scary Sharp! LOL

Very good!

Thank you.

Happy New Year!

 

THERE'S A CHICKEN IN THE WORKSHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of hand tool work leads Stumpy to develop his own fully featured, completely adjustable, precisely accurate, sliding grinder tool rest. And how did a CHICKEN get into the workshop?

 

Stumpy I want your gold wrench. And we are going to have to do something about rust control on your saws. On the subject of animals, today my cat comes in the shop while I am soldiering copper wires to re-bar. It didn't get him bad but his new name is saftycat. Poor thing, but I keep telling them get out. Being a cat they just look at you like [who me].
Great video and a very nice jig. I tried this with an articulated arm. It wound up to bulky. I like your jig with the purchase of the veritas rig. Another good one with tips, jigs and humor. Well written and done. Keep em coming.

 

Now that's just plane smart! (Hand plane surgery and tubafores)

What to do with a couple old, useless hand planes? This week Stumpy takes a hack saw to a pair of Stanley's and a rabbet plane is born!

And what's a tubafore? Stumpy tames one, and it makes him feel like a real man!

Finally, we rant about the new fangled technology in the workshop.

Enjoy!

 

Always enjoy your posts Stumpy.

 

A night as big as the Oscars! "TUBAFORE" CONTEST RESULTS!!!

It's a night so special that Stumpy put on a tie!

The latest episode of Blue Collar Woodworking reveals who won the 2X4 contest, who lost, and who the heck is that guy in the wizard outfit…

It's twelve of the best minutes you're likely to spend today… enjoy…

Homemade Biscuits and the ULTIMATE tool cabinet!!!!

In this episode we unveil our shop-made bench top biscuit joining machine designed for fast, accurate glue-ups… and we begin the "Ultimate Tool Cabinet Build". Plus, Stumpy gives you a list of things to do with your Sundays now that football season is over…

Here's some screen shots of the sketchup drawing for the machine. The most difficult part about the build was the mount for the joiner. It took a lot of work to get the design just right. If it's not right, the movement is not accurate.

The lift adjustment mechanism for the table had to be redesigned a couple of times tool. But I finally found the proper way to address all of the issues that contribute to accurate adjustments.

A set of plans is available in our Etsy store ... check it out and help support our show!

I'm the 1st one here…....... yeee haaaa I haven't watched it yet, cuz I'm typin this message.. gotta go watch

 

The "Amazing Dovetail Machine" and why are tools so expensive?

It's new, it's improved, the quality is better, the sound isn't that great… Yes, it's another episode of the woodworking show that makes Norm little series look like Teleubbies…

In this episode we introduce a fully featured, micro adjustable dovetail jig that is so epic, it can only be called a "MACHINE"! And then I rant about how expensive some tools are.

Enjoy… (More episodes are at Stumpynubs.com!)

Want to build it? Here's the plans.

The next episode will take a look at the other side of the issue- my tried and true techniques for hand cut dovetails… and how to fix them when you screw them up!

Oh… here's those $75 hunks of rubber.

Looks like a COOL jig!

How long do you think one could make one… from your plans?

... approximate Cost of materials?

Thank you.

edit:
I had no problems viewing the video at all…

 

Pins vs Tails and the 2 handled dovetail saw!

Part two of the dovetail series shows how Stumpy cuts 'em with a 2 handles saw! Lots of great tips, and the twisted humor you've come to expect.

(Note- We're still trying to figure this new software out. Sorry for the quality inconsistencies. And the new microphones are on the way!)

Just in case you missed part one of our 2 part dovetail series… here's a re-run! (This is the homemade dovetail machine episode from last week.)

 

One more or the books Stumpy. I do like to see how people cut there tails. No two guys are alike. If you are taking a vote I am Tail first kinda guy. I gata ask, did I see you using a mortice chisel on waste removal?
Great video!
Keep them coming.
Stumpy I want you to know my wife had laid down for bed and your opening came on. After the punch line about Pooh, she came out from under the cover and I had to assure her you were joking. Now that was funny.
