ShopBuiltNow that the upper part of my shop is being used a lot more, it was time to add some dust collection. I’m just using a shop vac setup here with central vacuum plumbing to supply all the tools. I also made some simple 2” blast gates which seem to work really well. thanks for watching Ryan Nodwell

This design allows for a flip stop as well as being easy to remove and install. Avoiding top mount T-track means you don't have to worry about the tracks getting all filled with shavings. This fence is 1.5" tall and made from baltic birch plywood. The locking mechanism is made from maple. The flip stop is made from aluminum and is custom made on my CNC milling machine, G0704.

I recently decided to change up my sharpening system to a more “economic” setup. Because I was due for a new water stone and diamond stone I decided I would try the cheaper option. This setup uses 6 different grits of sandpaper to achieve a extremely sharp edge on my chisels and plane irons. the grits are 320, 600,800,1200,4000,8000 grits. The true test will be how long it will last before having to buy more sand paper.

First and last song: Music by: David Cutter Music www.davidcuttermusic.co.ukShopbuilt - lift stop PositionerShopBuilt2017-03-16 | I'm very proud to introduce you to my lift stop positioner. It features a stainless steel barrel that glides along a 5/16" t-track allowing the positioner to stay perpendicular to the track at all times. The barrel can easily be locked at any position along the T-track by simply tightening the included 5/16" star knob and T-bolt. The stop arm is made from 3/8" thick 6061 aluminum (aircraft grade) that is cut out on a water jet right here in New Brunswick Canada. The stop arm is fastened to the the barrel with a stainless steel nylon locking nut that allows you to swing the arm easily but yet tight enough to remove any play. The stop arm has been powder coated to give a very durable finish and a cool look. Finally I added a flat head screw as a slight light/cursor for use with an adhesive backed measuring tape (not included). The cursor can be zeroed and locked into place with a set screw. This positioner is almost entirely made in my shop and is great way to support the shopbuilt youtube channel!

They're right. Great for trimming mitres or to square up the end of a board, there really isn’t any replacement that will do it as quickly and accurately as a shooting board. I’m using a Verities low angle jack plane but you can use what ever plane you would like, even block plane.

The problem with the Ridgid R4512 table saw is the insert plate is only 1/8” thick which is not ideal to replace with a wooden one because it would make it to flimsy. In this video I manage to come up with a solution to this problem.

I actually couldn't find a solution to how it was done anywhere and the picture was really well done so i'm still not 100 percent sure if this is how it was made. I came up with what i thought was the solution to the illusion and even though its not perfect i think it will still fool some people.

I will need it at my band saw, drill press and work table but first is the biggest culprit, the table saw. This weeks video is how to install an overhead table saw dust collection setup using a shop vac and central vac tubing.
When I came across the microjig dovetail clamps I new I could come up with some uses for them. So I thought long and hard about how I could improve the traditional tenoning jig. This tenoning jig incorporates a self positioning fence by referencing the mortise. I am really surprised on how will the jig works and as far as i know, there isn’t another jig like it:) but i’m sure someone will show me one that is:( Big thanks to microjig for sending me the clamps, please check them out here: http://www.microjig.com/products/matchfit Instagram: instagram.com/shop_builtShop built - Table saw Tapering jigShopBuilt2016-05-07 | Sense I replaced my table saw I have not had a tapering jig as my old one didn’t work on the new saw.

You can use the tapering jig to cut tapers as well as jointing on side of your workpiece. thanks for watching Ryan Nodwell
