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)

Maybe the greatest way man has ever devised to cut box/finger joints...

In the latest episode of Blue Collar Woodworking we make a micro-adjustable, multi-feature box joint machine that just might kill the dovetail forever. And then Stumpy tells the farmers where to stick it.

This box joint machine has a lead screw advance and a template option, smooth, non binding sliding carriage, and a quick release so you don't have to crank it all the way back. Plus, it will handle the biggest of jobs, and the best part is, you can build it for CHEAP.

One feature I forgot to add in the video is that you can use this to make unique joints with varying finger widths without swapping templates back and forth. And, it offers the best of both worlds- the easy adjustabillity of a lead screw driven system AND the option of using fixed templates for when you just don;t want to turn the crank!

Enjoy…

Stumpy,
Another GREAT video!!!

I hate to tell you though, you are going to have to make another Box/finger joint jig. The first jig is just a stepping stone so that you can build a box/finger joint jig using box/finger joint joinery!!!

Oh man, I got butter from the popcorn all over my keyboard.

8398487t5ytgivf8de988ij0i12345_)(*bft…........Opps, i had to wipe down my keyboard.

Thanks for the video, jig & making 10-1/2 minutes of my life infotaining!!!!!

A Stumpy Short: An Incra LS for $100? Oh yah, baby!

I always wanted an Incra LS table saw fence. But I didn't want to sell a kidney to get it. So I bought a much less expensive positioner and adapted it to my existing fence. Now I have the best of both worlds, and it can be used on all of my shop machines… enjoy…

Da Plane! Da Plane!

If you like to see fat midgets pointing up at the sky, you've come to the right place, my friend! (Actually, there are no midgets here, and I am not entirely sure we are allowed to say that word anymore…) But the reference still applies because this episode is all about "Da Plane! Da Plane!"

We start out with a quick tool review, then we make a scrub plane for just #10. Along the way we learn the fastest way to put a camber on a plane iron, we reveal the plane till on the Ultimate Tool Cabinet, we design a deluxe, wall mounted hand plane cabinet, we discuss which bench planes every woodworker should have and why, and then we wrap up with Stumpy confessing his obsession.

This one has a LOT crammed into a short episode, but I think it's one of the best, so enjoy!

I'm a "Tim the Tool Man Taylor" type power tool guy & am afraid of the "Dark Side". That is why I am hesitant to restore my wood bodied fore plane, my Stanley Bailey #4 & my Millers Falls something or other. I've heard horror stories of hoarders!!! Plus my shop is small, so where would I store them all. Please save me "Obi Wan Stumpy", you're my only hope!!!

Biscuit Drawers and a great $4 tool...

What is the difference between Stumpy Nubs and the Townsend brothers? While you're pondering that unbelievable brain teaser, ask yourself what is the best tool you own that cost less than $4 new, and try to picture Stumpy cutting his hair with a lawn mower.

Those are just some of the things you'll find in the latest episode of Blue Collar Woodworking!

When you're done, visit the Stumpy Store for detailed plans of our Bench-top-biscuit-machine.

"Raise your panel!" Who knew you could do THAT with a hand plane + another contest!

I don't know why anyone would want to skin a cat, but I hear there is more than one way to do it. The same is true with raised panels, you know, the ones we use on all our fancy cabinet doors… So this week Stumpy tries to make one with nothing but a Stanley #4 hand plane…

...then he decides to make a machine to do it for him!

Before all is said an done we have a new jig that does far more than it was originally intended to, and Stumpy is telling us the next best thing to having a different router for every bit.

Then we make a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, and Stumpy tells you why he hates April 15th.

It's sure to be more fun than a barrel of Kool-whip, so enjoy!

Stumpy's "Accidental Invention" just might CHANGE THE WORLD!

I just wanted to build a jig to cut raised panels, I never imagined I would be turning the woodworking world on it's ear! The jig we built last episode has gotten out of control! Now it does everything from cutting miters to trimming my toenails, and I am considering adding an adapter to open my cold ones!

You'll get to see the new invention run amuck, plus I demonstrate how to survive without a jointer and still flatten wood like a man. Then I tell you why my neighbor thinks I'm a lunatic. Enjoy…

(Plans for the new machine are at the Stumpy Store… just click ont he tab at the top of the page at Stumpynubs.com. And watch more Blue Collar Woodworking while you're there!)

I got a new jig in a card game!

Sharpening card scrapers was never so easy, or so much fun…

This week is all about card scrapers: how to sharpen them, how to use them, we make a rack to store them and a jig to burnish them. Along the way we do some fooling around and talk about Roy Underhill's mustache!

There are two projects in this episode, a tool review and a detailed demonstration of cabinet scraping goodness.

Check out more episodes at Stumpynubs.com. Enjoy!

The most UNIQUE drill press table you've ever seen. Drill, Baby! DRILLLLL!

Some homemade jigs just have to be called what they are… stinking amazing. This week we come back from our summer break with a vengance. And the drill press is in our sights once again!

We've completed the "Drill Im-press Table" by adding some unique bit storage, and some attachments that allow you to turn spindles, knobs, even pens without a lathe. Add that to the innovative X-Y sliding table and milling features, downdraft dust collection, and the microadjustable positioning capability, and you're looking at a woodworker's dream come true.

The best part is, you can build it with just a little hardware and some plywood scraps! And once you try it… well, you'll see…

After that we talk about getting the biggest bang for your buck in the drill press market, deal with a feud between a 90 year old man and a chicken, and Stumpy puts something up his nose for science.

All that and more, this week on Blue Collar Woodworking.

A Woodworking Copy Machine & Radial Arm Saws

This week we reveal the latest "invention"- A copy machine that duplicates woodworking projects! Then we talk about using a radial arm saw without losing any fingers, bees wax and hand planes, before ending with a tribute to a lost loved one.

This episode is one for the Woodworking Hall of Fame… enjoy!

Afterward, watch more episodes at Stumpynubs.com!

And one last thing… everybody is emailing about the bag over my head. Well, it's an inside joke from over at the "Stumpy Nubs Thread" here on Lumber Jocks.

A useless machine with a thousand uses!

When I saw the commercial version of our new "invention" I thought… why would anyone ever spend $200 on that? Then everyone started arguing about the term "jig saw" and the old man next door went out looking for the Kaiser and I bought a ton of old 8-track tapes… next thing you know it's a great new episode Blue Collar Woodworking. And a new homemade shop machine is unveiled!

Another fine video!

Particle board for your office maybe! I'm sticking with MDF for my office, MDF trees are not an endagered species. Unless of course, I get particle board for free.

I liked the 10 rules for handplanes. Know then, if I could only remebers what they were….....

Tables and feathers? This title makes no sense!

Part two of the three episode router table series: Stumpy makes a router table that will rival the Festool CMS (at least he thinks so)... We make some featherboards and show a unique safety jig from an old woodworking magazine. Then Stumpy tells you how he keeps Randy sharp, what Joy does when you call her fat and starts a revolution. It's a lot to fit into one short eposide, so you'd better get started…

I nearly lost my lips kissing my TWO beautiful new router tables!

This is a router table/lift/fence combo that will terrify the the guys at Festool and Incra. As Stumpy completes the three episode router table series he unveils the completed setup- two router tables complete with micro-adjustable lifts, built in bit storage, dual dust collection, a fantastic sliding table and a fence that uses Incra's innovative positioner technology without violating any patents!

In the meantime you'll see how to get a high quality router plate for about $10 and Stumpy will talk about how his magnetic personality makes tools stick. Oh, and the "deep thoughts" style humor segment returns under a new name.

A Dust Collection Experiment That Might Destroy the WORLD!

MAN- there's a lot of great stuff in this episode! First, we talk about true dust collection power with Bill Pentz (part two of our dust collection series), Charles Neil stops by again, I show off my four favorite block planes and start an experiment that might destroy the world.

Besides that we talk about the Harbor Freight dust collector, ask average woodworker five dumb questions, talk about King Tut's stool, and that's not even everything!

ALSO- We're making some headway on the video/sound quality. We have all the equipment and software and stuff, it's just hard for woodworkers to figure it all out!

Are you going to warn the local Fire Deptment, when you do the double blower vortex testing, perhaps the Forest Service may need to know also!!!

I just tell people that it is an ice cream stain. So can that be our secret???

I can work some overtime and buy a thickness sander…which I did. I don't have it yet, just paid a deposit, but will provide a review when I do. I started building one, but it's cheaper for me to just buy new, in this case. I haven't found any used ones reasonably priced. For those of you who don't commute 15 hours a week (in a good week) to work and back, Stumpy probably has your answer.

Thanks for my BCWW fix…
I was headed towards withdrawl symptoms!!!

Clearly you "march to the beat of a different drum sander"....

Curious about using the thickness sander portion on "extra" wide boards. Could you please show that put to the test some time???
