Mark, first off your videos are great. just a video idea, white glue vs. yellow glue. the current shop i work at used white glue for years, however when i got hired i suggested to switch to yellow, since we work on high end pieces. Ive seen you use Titebond II is that your general everyday glue?
@joe65968 Yeah it is. But that's just usually what I end up purchasing when I run out just because its convenient, and if I need something with water resistance I have it. But there isn't a whole lot of difference between white and yellow glue. And for interior furniture, either one will give sufficient bond strength.
@TheWoodWhisperer we were finding that that white glue was not holding up, after many domino joints failed, solid laminations spread apart too. we were also getting furniture back with failed joinery. it also is impossible to sand, it gums up quickly unlike Titebond II or III. It would be interesting to do a video on glues. 2
It must be very satisfying running a business that your passionate about and at the same time sharing your knowledge with people who appreciate it.
Thanks
Do you have any DVD's for sale? I really want to get my 10 year old son into woodworking, and I'm trying to find a home study course that explains the math and tools involved.
@CommonSensePete Thanks Pete. I do sell some DVDs. I wouldn't call them comprehensive studies exactly, but they are on various topics and projects. You can check them out at shop thewoodwhisperer com (dots removed because I can't post links in comments.)
Thanks for the info, I live in a far away small town down in Mexico and have two carpenters friends that have a missing finger or two because of cutting wood pushing with their hands, one of them sold me all his tools because he cant work no more with one hand, Im gonna build some push sticks from scrap, no way to get down here those fancy plastic sticks, thanks again .
Is there a safety concern with cutting a work piece on the 'outside' of the blade? I heard that its not as safe, but I can't figure out why that would be...
@lucserre the issue there is that the bulk of the workpiece is "outside" the blade. And typically as you push the piece through, you tend to support the bulk. By supporting the outside area, you are risking a kickback. Furthermore, you have only a small amount of space between the blade and the fence, which makes it difficult to control.
Your videos are great!Quick question.What is the table saw you are using?
