Artist's Companion - perfect gift for the budding artist in your life!
This Artist's Companion, or tabletop easel, was rather more challenging than I anticipated and I had an unfortunate mishap half-way through. But, whilst not entirely how I intended it to turn out, I'm fairly pleased with the end result. Fortunately so is the budding artist in question!

Low-Tech circular saw sharpening jig!
Просмотров 2 тыс.2 месяца назад
Plans at www.stevemaskery.com/jig-plans/p/universal-circular-saw-sharpening-jig This jig handles all sizes of blades in my workshop, from my little biscuit jointer blade (100mm) up to my SCMS blade (12"). It also handles all the various rake angles, too. And the best bit, it is quiet, gentle, and doesn't fill the air with tungsten carbide dust. What's not to like?

Tablesaw finger-saving featherboard!
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.4 месяца назад
This featherboard is easy to make and keeps my fingers well away from the blade. It pushed the workpiece hard towards the fence and down onto the table at the same time, thanks to the angled feathers. You can just clamp it to the table if you wish, but I've mounted mine onto my secondary fence which makes it very easy to adjust.
High-Quality Rip Fence for your Tablesaw or Bandsaw!

If your rip fence leaves a lot to be desired, why not build your own? Steve Maskery shows you how you can make a high-quality rip fence easily, with very little metalworking skills and NO WELDING, using readily availaible materials. It may be quick, easy and inexpensive to built, but it is absolutely top-notch. Full plans in both Metric and Inches are availalbe on my website: stevemaskery.squar...

    I do like your multiple jig inserts and one sliding table! I have seen a lot of similar videos cutting the slots on one side of the joint and then cutting the second piece. However, another video cut the first slot in one piece then located the edge and allowed the matching slot in the second piece to be cut. The two pieces were then fitted over the pin and "glued" with double sided tape. The remaining slots in both pieces were then cut at the same time. I feel that this would have a better chance of ensuring that the pitches match perfectly. Would this remove (or reduce) any errors in a "creeping pitch"?

    • @stevemaskery9940
      @stevemaskery9940 2 дня назад

      It might possibly make the operation very slightly faster, but it would be marginal. And if you have "creeping pitch" then there must be some sort of inaccuracy in the jig, or in the way it is being operated. I've had and used this jig for several years now and have never had such problems, so I'm happy to leave it as it is. The only time I've had a (very small) problem was after the jig had been in a damp environment for a couple of years. The dimensions of the peg increased by a fraction, making location a tad stiff, but a few minutes recalibrating it sorted that out.

    Excellent like all others before. Just one thing Steve, when you make videos like this do not use the blade guard for the viewers to be able to see the cut as is made, everybody does that for video purposes only, you should though give verbal emphasis of-course that the blade guard should be always be used.

    I use a 4” PVC elbow cut to surround the lower tracking rollers and connected to my 4” diameter dust collector. With the large volume of air getting sucked down I hardly get any dust on the table top. Basically I doubled the volume of air sucking the dust close to the actual generator of dust.

    When lowering the board, your hand is so close to the router bit. Is there any other technique which is more safer? Also, it you are doing this with very hardwood lick Hichory or Jatoba, is there a chance of kick back when you are lower on to the blade?

    • @SteveMaskery
      @SteveMaskery 26 дней назад

      You are right to realise that this is a potentially risky technique. But the risks are minimised by two very important factors. 1. Take VERY shallow cuts, just 1 or 2 millimeters at a time. Yes, that makes it time-consuming. 2. Make sure that the two stop boards are well clamped. The one nearest me is the most critical. But together the two give me a very controlled cut.

    • @SteveMaskery
      @SteveMaskery 27 дней назад

      Sorry, no. Millimetres are the international standard for length. But it's easy enough to convert. As a rule of thumb, 25mm is roughly equivalent 1", or if you want to be more precise, 25.4mm = 1". HTH.

  • @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230
    @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 2 месяца назад

    Some very good tips within your video. As simple as it may seem to other's, the use of a magnet to mark your stating tooth is brilliant to me. Yes you can use a permanent marker or even a dot of enamel paint and re-use that same dot for every sharpening, but eventually it will wear off. A magnet solves that issue and can be stored with the jig so it's not lost when stored. I also like the different spindles/ arbors you made for each size blade. A clever idea. The rest of the jig for me, just seems over built. If sharpening with a diamond file, all you need is two pieces of wood to clamp the blade between to keep it up right. You can add a hinge at one end and hook and eye to keep the 2 boards tightly closed around the blade. You could take it another step by using a router circle jig and route grooves deep enough so as you spin the blade to the next tooth it will move freely. For me, I modified a pretty beat up, antique handsaw clamp. I paid $5 for it at a flea market, knowing it was not in good enough condition to restore and sell as I do with most acquired Antique tools if not for my personal collection. I remove the rust from the frame and parts, then repainted it to prevent further rusting. I added strips of wood to the jaws to prevent any damage to the teeth and added to partial round grooves in the strips for each size blade I sharpen. The smallest being 115 mm or 4.5" I will be tapping a drilled hole in the frame to accommodate your various sized wooden spindles so the blades will have something to spin on.
