Episode 54 Dust

Episode 54 Dust Talking about protecting yourself from dust. The cloud gets generated by taking the Festool Termite to a piece of MDF. Sorry about the pelting rain in the background – for a country in a 10 year drought, it seems to rain at very inopportune times! This video features the Dust-Bee-Gone and Microclene MC1000 air filter. The work is done on top of the Walko Workbench. Episode 54 Dust...

SSYTC015 – The Walko Workbench

Stusshed-SSYTCWalkoWorkbench As initially discussed here , the Walko Workbench from Ideal Tools can be set up in a number of different orientations, depending on your requirements. In my case, and as seen here, it provides a narrow workbench that I can easily break down and remove to free up space, or repurpose easily to a different role (assembly table, panel saw etc) It is covered in dogholes which is excellent when working with the low profile Walko surface clamps....

The bench used in the video (and as seen pictured here as well) is the WALKO Contractors Workbench , soon to be imported and sold by Ideal Tools Episode 53 Contrast Timber Inlays...

SSYTC008 – Blowfly Spider Cookies

Now I’m sure that name makes little sense to anyone, so let’s clarify. I grabbed the little digi-camera and shot a quick look at the Rockler Bench Cookies in action. They can be seen securing a board while edge routing with a hand-held router, while sanding with a ROS (random orbital sander), and while using the Blowfly Sander and Spider Sander, both from T&T Design . There will be more on these 2 sanders shortly. During the video, you’ll see the blowfly looking like it is catching my shirt-...

SSYTC007 Preparing a Burl

Taking a slice of burl, and getting the surface flat has traditionally meant I have broken out the belt sander which (unless it is a particular shade of green) is NOT a precision machine. Some will use handtools – planes, scrapers etc to get the surface flat, but circumstances (and a complete lack of time) means I tend to select powered (electron murdering) machines, and the drum sander is particularly suited to the task.

SSYTC006 Miter Gauges

Not that long ago, I posted Shed.TV episode 51 on the Tablesaw, and in it there was some discussion about Mitre Gauges (or Miter Gauges, which ever is your preferred spelling!) One of the site’s readers (I’ve been combing my emails to find out who!) pointed out that there was a better way for attaching the Mitre Gauge, that I hadn’t picked up on, so this YTC episode is an addendum to the Shed.TV video, and quickly shows a technique that I’m bit embarrassed that I didn’t know!

SSYTC009 New Domino Jig from Terry Forgarty

Stusshed-SSYTCTerrysFestoolDominoShelfJig Terry Fogarty runs the Domino and Furniture courses for Ideal Tools, and having owned and used the Domino in a production setting since they first went on sale just over 3 years ago, he is particularly experienced in their use, and has developed a number of jigs to extend its capabilities. This is his latest jig, and is a clever, and simple way of using the domino to create adjustable shelves (similar to the old dowel hole method typical in many commerci...

SSYTC003 Ideal Tools – Festool Mecca

Ideal Tools – Festool Mecca in Williamstown, Melbourne A perfect synergy of sales, training, and getting real hands-on experience with the next potential addition to your workshop. I really enjoy this approach. There is no sales pitch here – the tools either sell themselves, or they don’t. You get to see the tools in a real work environment, get to use the tools in the same, and get professional training in their application. I’m not even getting the point across well – it sounds like there is a...

Stu’s Shed YouTube Chronicles 001 Introduction

Stusshed-SSYTCIntroduction An introduction to a bit of an experiment called “The Stu’s Shed YouTube Chronicles” Raw, unedited, short clips, the video equivalent to the micro-blogs of Twitter and how they are supplementing the main content of this website/blog. Like Twitter, this is an experiment to see if it is a worthy supplement to Stu’s Shed.

SW09 – Fire in the Galley

Fire in the Galley. A short slideshow video of the result of a simple fire, and the resulting damage (in a very short space of time). I attended this fire after the actual incident (we were on the ship next door) to document the situation. Note the result from the heat that quickly resulted – especially my favourite – the speaker that got so hot that the bungee cord holding it down has actually pulled its way through the speaker itself. The sort of heat, and damage documented here is by no means...

Episode 45 Zero Clearance Inserts

Episode 45 Zero Clearance Inserts for the Tablesaw Making Zero Clearance Inserts isn’t a particularly difficult task, but it is always good seeing someone else do it first! I have come up with a bit of a novel approach to how to safely do the cut. The traditional method is to use the fence to help hold down the new table insert as it is being cut, but I’ve never been really happy with that solution. With the use of my recent MagJig enabled jig, I have a much more secure and safe way to conduct t...

Episode 43 Triton Steel Cutter

Episode 43 Triton Steel Cutter – Making a Noticeboard Although not currently available in Oz, these are still (afaik) available in the US etc, and they are still out there if you come across a used model. In any respect, for the project I was working on (a noticeboard) this was the right tool for the job. The Steel Cutter came out while Triton was still owned by Hills, and seemed a very strange direction for Triton to be going at the time. Episode 43 Triton Steel Cutter...
