 welcome to my small workshop this is Paul Carlson the small workshop guy so today we're going to do another review of three new videos and a one old classic video and then one shop technique so the first video that we have for this week WOBY this guy works out of a shipping container and he's organized reorganize his workshop now he's got table saws in there he's got jointers he's got CNC machines he's got thickness planers he's got all sorts of stuff in there so obviously in a space the size of a container he's a magician at organizing his work so enjoy that one I like the guy's enthusiasm I like the way he stops and yells he's just very entertaining to watch and there's one scene that's really really good where his wife comes down to see how he's reorganized his workshop and wait till you see her question and his reaction the next one and I'll see if I can look up the camera once in a while I'm looking at my laptop so it's hard to do things run the computer I don't have a production guy to help me out so it's all me so anyway you just if I don't look at you here I'm looking at you so if I don't look at you the rest of time at least you saw me look at you once now here's one from a fellow named Dorian Brock and this is episode number 58 out of a what he calls the joint venture so I bring up number 58 because it was released this week but my main priority is to introduce you to the fact that he's got 57 other Japanese joints joinery that he discusses so this one's good but maybe you want to go back to number one in the beginning and kind of pick which joints you might want to deal with or keep this in mind is something that you can go refer to when you want to do certain kind of joinery or so very very good not so much a lot of voiceover educational factors I don't think he has any he just shows what he does but it really shows a lot of nice hand work and creating these joints so look at his entire go to this one then click on the Dorian Brock channel name and then click on playlist and then one of the playlists are these joint ventures and you can see all 58 joints that he's done highly recommend it for educational next one is and I have seemed to select this guy often but he's keeps doing a lot of really good videos that novices or beginners need to watch because they're teaching us things I learned quite a few things by just watching this one he talked a lot about back saws saws that have a stabilizing back on them and which ones you might want to pick that is very good very educational and then because of that that led me to watch to some of his how do you sharpen a back saw and so he's got a good educational video showing you how to sharpen your saw as a result of that I've ordered some new little files because I don't think I've ever sharpened my saws with my Japanese saws I tend to just buy a replacement blade but you're not going to do that with a hundred and fifty two hundred dollars saw you got to keep them sharp so recommend that all right tip of the day workshop organization idea tip things of that nature what I'm going to talk about is this automated vacuum switch when it comes to a workshop organization it's one of the best things I've done in my workshop I actually bought two of these one's over on my table saw dust collection device and then one is for everything else whether it be my thickness planer my bandsaw my drill press my mortising machine whatever and so now you see it over the top of that thickness planer I got a new DeWalt what do they call it 735 dw735x thickness planer to replace my win all right so here's the device here's the way it works I have a shop back down here underneath and then my shop back is actually connected to a little dust stopper cyclone top from Home Depot you plug in your shop back into this upper left hand thing this thing is about oh four inches by four inches so you plug the device itself into a close by electrical outlet obviously plug your vacuum cleaner into that there's a little thing that you kind of plug it into itself which I don't quite understand but doesn't work without it being plugged in and then there's one more opening which is for your power tool so if I then take my thickness planer and plug it into that tool now I can I can just turn on my shop back by itself by hitting there's a three-way switch here off in the middle and then on to the right if I turn that on you'll get the the shop back by itself I'm not always trying to run a power tool when I'm running my shop back particularly when I'm cleaning up but then there's another position called off is it automatically shop back plugged in so let me demonstrate that the thing you should notice is the power tool will come on and then a few seconds later the shop back will come on or if it's your dust collection system that will come on and then when you turn this off the vacuum runs for a while in order to give it time to clear the holes it's just really cool and and I like that because then when I'm done running this it the vacuum cleaner turns off I don't get some dang noisy in here and I realize I've left the shop back running so I'm going to go ahead let me make sure I don't have anything you know any tools anywhere in it or anything you'll hear the shop back come off well you probably won't hear it because then a saw stop table saw and it's a cabinet saw PCS 30 is it all works fine when I plug the table saw into the device like I have my thickness liner here when I've got my regular blade on there data was stacked on the saw stop and then started up it will trip my device the device will only support about or 12 amps and the table saw grows about 14 so we're close to tripping most of the time when you start it up tripping is no big deal you can get as quickly reset it but what you've tripped it was and learn and so take take your table saw out of this device and put it in a plug by itself and at least then you can start your dust collection by not having to get to the dust collection system and not having to plug it in or plug it out but just push a switch and that will come on it just won't come on and go off automatically but that's the only one I'm running my data stack I guess the heavier data stack is drawing more ampers well anyway that's my tip of the day have a good fourth of July stay safe enjoy
