PART 1 : Modular Plywood Workshop Cabinet Build Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-02-19 | There's a few ways I could've tried to sell this video to you I suppose. Be it reuse or recycling of material. Needs must solutions to problems. But of course I went with "it'll save you 62% on Plywood!". This is Youtube after all. There's truth in the claim though. A construction method born out of necessity actually has a fair bit going for it. And in the workshop, what woodworker doesn't want to save money and materials, not to mention reusing stuff?!Hope you enjoy my taking you through this construction method. I doubt it's original but still worth sharing I think.
MFT Workbench Hold Down and Linear Clamps From Banggood Review [GIFTED] Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-09-29 | The best thing about MFT (Multi-Function Table) style workbenches is their work holding ability. Of course, the types of clamps used make a big difference. The usual go-to for this, is to use the Festool pattern guide rail clamps be they the ratchet or screw down type. Festool did however come up with two other types; the MFT-SP linear or in-line clamps and the MFT-HZ hold downs. As often happens, imitations soon follow and, in this review I'll be reviewing the Enjoywood version of the hold down and the Duratec version of the linear style.Both are extremely good value for money considering their performance! A worthy addition to any workshop with and MFT style bench I think. Below are the links to the items from Banggood.

Making Wooden Page Holders. Quick and Easy Gifts! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-09-15 | You may have seen these wooden page holders before. They pop up everywhere from Instagram to Etsy stores. I was asked if I could make some and, they were surprising quick and easy to make. If you're a woodworker looking for potential stocking filler (I know...too early!) ideas or want some affordable items on a winter market stall, these are a great option to consider. A great use for those tiny scraps of exotics you might have lying around and couldn't bear to part with too! You don't even need much of a workshop to make them either. A hand plane to dimension the stock. A fret saw for shaping and a hand drill for drilling. Just a bit easier if you have a few machines ;)
[Gifted] Can These Router Bits Offer A Quick And Easy Joinery Solution? Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-09-08 | I set about testing these router cutter sets to machine all the joinery needed for a small bedside table. Apart from dimensioning the wood, the whole bedside cabinet was made at the router table. A good little workshop experiment I think as, these days, even the most modest workshops seem to have a router table of some sort. All the router bits performed well given their intended uses but, well enough for joinery and cabinet making?Links to all the cutters below:Flute and bead cutter set - uk.banggood.com/custlink/vGmZJZQ0rO?title=flute and bead setEdge Banding V-Groove Set - uk.banggood.com/custlink/K3DICSn6r6?title=edge v groove setTongue and Groove Set - uk.banggood.com/custlink/3vviW8Qgrs?title=tongue and groove setDrawer Lock Joint Bit - uk.banggood.com/custlink/KmDZC9Q4Wz?title=lock joint bit
[Gifted] A Router Table Coping Sled With A Couple Of Great Features! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-09-02 | This router table coping sled from Enjoywood - with help from Hooked On Wood - has a superb build quality with it's main materials being aluminium, stainless steel and thick perspex. It has truly impressive clamps that, whilst powerful at work holding, are easy to use and don't mark work. It also has what appears to be a couple of unique features. The first is a dog based system for orientation the work and, sacrificial or zero clearance strips. It has a lot going for it at such a reasonable price and can, I think, be comfortably mentioned in the same breath as Woodpeckers and UJK but, it's features do also throw up some limitations to be aware of. Watch the full video for more on that.Links to the sled and other items mentioned in the video below.Enjoywood Router Coping Sled - uk.banggood.com/custlink/Kv39ptJDaf?title=router table sledEnjoywood Bench Dog type Hold Down Clamp - uk.banggood.com/custlink/D33ScFWmgd?title=hold down clampT-Track Junction 19mm slot - uk.banggood.com/100mm-200mm-T-Track-Intersection-Kit-with-Predrilled-Mounting-Holes-for-Universal-T-Track-for-Woodworking-Jigs-and-Fixtures-p-2018878.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN&ID=62897736313795&p=OS111023860573201808&custlinkid=4232062Tongue and Groove Router Bit Set - uk.banggood.com/custlink/Km3SC5cG0H?title=tongue groove bit set
3 Axis Manual Routing Machine Build, Service and Parts List - You Can Make It! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-08-18 | Here, I've finally taken the time to provide a full parts list and plate diagrams for a 3 Axis routing machine of my own design. It's featured in many of my videos, working away and, even in it's own videos through it's various iterations, from a basic aluminium profile router sled to what it is now - a sturdy 3 axis machine (4 axis with the turning attachment) utilising HGN12 linear rails and T8 lead screw on the Z-axis. Not having the sensitive electrical components of a cnc, this machine is happy being hung up on the wall when not in use, so ideal for small workshops plus, being a fully manual machine, there's no need to write programs for one off jobs or simple tasks like slab/board flattening. I consider it an absolute essential in my workshop for my furniture making and more and, I'm pretty sure most woodworkers would feel the same having used it. Mine uses a Mafell FM1000 milling motor but the trim routers from Makita and Dewalt can have collars made to fit, saving you a few quid. Useful links below:For aluminium profile, screws, t-nuts, spacers brackets and router mount, I recommend Ooznest for folk in the UK: ooznest.co.uk/#a_aid=629f6705cdd87For MGN12 Linear Rails and bearing blocks, here's a Banggood link: uk.banggood.com/custlink/DmKiCD0nKs?title=mgn12 rail 2For the T8 Lead Screw, C-Beam Z-Axis assembly, there's an Amazon link provided.

[Gifted] Outside Radius Router cutter. Brilliant AND Terrible! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-08-04 | This is a router bit that, as soon as I'd seen it, wanted it and was already designing furniture pieces in my head to make from it. All it has to do is its job...Designed to cut a profile into Conti-board/MFC (melamine faced chip board), melamine mdf, plywood and solid woods, when folded 90 degrees, it creates a seamless outside radius. There are though some challenges to overcome for the router bit to be successful. Are these challenges worth the effort? This I explore in the video and I think the answer is clear.Thanks to Banggod for sending me the cutter to try.If you'd like to look for yourselves, links are below.

DIY Precision Router Guide Rail Adapter - Solid Aluminium - For Mafell and Bosch Guide Rails Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-07-28 | In this video I set about making a guide rail adapter compatible with my Bosch and Mafell guide rails for my Bosch GMF 1600 CE router. The design of it could be adapted for any router or guide rail combination really, be they Festool, Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee etc. Key measurements are the height from benchtop to the bottom of the rods from the router and, of course, the height of your guide rail.Made from solid aluminium plate, my adapter includes a generous handle for comfort and control. An ample 30mm of travel available via the micro adjust and, fine tuning of fit and friction between guide rail and adapter. Not the prettiest but functionally perfect. This project doesn't need and fancy machinery or tooling in your workshop. You can make it using just a bandsaw or jigsaw and a drill, tools just about any woodworker has.Not only is aluminium easy to work with but, it can give your shop made adapters and accessories an industrial feel and should last a long time. Aluminium is almost endlessly recyclable/reusable too! What's not to like?Hope you enjoy the vid.
[Gifted] Hongdui HD27 Marking Gauge, HD26 Dual Ruler And A Budget T-Type Gauge Review! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-07-21 | Hongdui have done it again with the HD27 Marking gauge! A thing of beauty and performance. Happy to test a budget aluminium T-type gauge I'm happy with too. Hogdui's HD26 ruler is an odd thing being both short 260mm rule and a 150mm outside measuring calliper - but proved a great benchtop addition for me.

Sliding Door Wall Mounted Tool Cabinet Build - From Scrap Wood! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-07-07 | Another video where I try to make lean use of the scraps I have available to make something useful for the workshop. Like my recent lightweight cabinet build and the step stool, this wall cabinet is made from ply rips and features a spalted elm door. The elm from a bunch of logs that were destined to be firewood. Still needs a bit of a tweak to run perfect this cabinet but, still serves its purpose and hopefully gives some ideas of how to use up some of those offcuts and salvaged bits you might have lying around.Companion viewing:Making a step stool from plywood scraps - youtube.com/watch?v=yJ3_21K7cHE&ab_channel=BischBaschBoschMaking a lightweight modular workshop cabinet pt 1 - youtube.com/watch?v=IlM-G3vbtAY&ab_channel=BischBaschBoschMaking a lightweight modular workshop cabinet pt 2 - youtube.com/watch?v=Jn0Xdzq-Of4&ab_channel=BischBaschBoschHongdui Hooked On Wood T-square review - youtube.com/watch?v=g35XQZGPEc0&ab_channel=BischBaschBoschLarge 16" 45/90 degree triangle review - youtube.com/watch?v=xI7VOMywXOU&ab_channel=BischBaschBosch
*GIFTED* BASE CAMP M Plus Dust Mask Review N99 FFP3 Rated Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-06-23 | PPE is important for those of us who've worked with - and still are - construction materials. Wood in particular in my case. The easier this PPE is to use, the more likely we'll use it. I was very surprised by the BASE CAMP M Plus mask. It is light, discrete,, easy to put on and adjust, easy to breath through and has great filtration (99%+ of particulates). I never took these cloth masks seriously before BASE CAMP gave me this one to try. Much nicer for long periods in the workshop!Use discount code Bisch10 at check out for 10% off if you're interested.

Glues I Use And Why. For Around The Workshop And For Furniture. Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-06-16 | I've had questions about my use of Cascamite powder resin glue and Easy Composites EL2 Laminating resin before so, here's a video on the glues I use and why. For me, it's important to understand and make best use of the properties of different glues to allow me to create interesting but durable furniture. Hopefully, by sharing my favourites, it'll answer any questions and maybe even nudge you to try a few others depending on your need.There really is no "one glue for all".This is NOT a strength test.

Hongdui MT-2465 Pro Combination T-Square Hooked On Wood Edition Review *GIFTED* Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-06-09 | In this video, a fairly in depth look at the Hongdui MT-2465 Pro Combination T-Square. This is a revamp of their original MT-2465 T-Square, done in collaboration with Dennis from the Hooked On Wood channel. I think between them, they've created another fine tool. A wonder to behold and variety of uses. I highlight some of the claims about the tool I'm not too convinced by but, I don't think it takes away from the tools merits too much. This tool was provided to me for the purpose of review by Banggood.Banggood has a sale upcoming from 11th June '24 to 18th June '24.

Making an Improved Flip Stop Flag Stop For An MFT Bench Fence Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-06-02 | Since reviewing and using the awesome Hongdui mitre fence - it's flip stop having a magnetic stop support and micro adjust - I decided to try and add those features to a set of flip stops for my MFT workbench. Made from scratch around 20mm aluminium round bar, the final result works really well.This video covers my thought process and build.
*GIFTED* Dial Indicator Gauge and 16 45/90 Triangle Review Banggood Woodworking Tools Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-05-26 | Following on with the recent haul of tools Banggood sent to me for purposes of review, in this one, I take a look at long mount dial indicator gauge and a huge 16" (available in imperial scale only) 45/90 degree set out triangle "square".Hard to say these are essentials in the workshop but they will certainly help with servicing and fine tuning. Even if only dug 2 or 3 times a year, I'll be pretty happy to have these around I think.Links to these products below. I'll also link the other dial gauge options shown in the video.

Simple Clamp Racks And MFT Angle Cutting Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-05-03 | Another bit of workshop housekeeping - extending my clamp racks. Very simple design these. In making them, realised how effective my variable angle fence for the MFT is at cutting angles on small workpieces. On small workpieces - like these elm clamp rack supports - cutting the mitres can mean your fingers perilously close to the blade of a mitre saw or table saw, absent any means to clamp. Jigs can be made for just this of course but, the angle fence for the MFT, using the guide rail as a clamp, makes cutting mitres on very small pieces safe and easy. What's not to like there?

Making a Step Stool Hop Up For The Workshop from Ply Rips and Firewood! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-04-22 | In this video, I take some left over scraps of plywood and some spalted elm that was destined for a fire to make a much needed step stool (hop up) for the workshop.The ply rip construction is exactly the same as I showed in my recent video making a ply rip modular workshop cabinet. It's a great method to either make the most of a sheet of ply or, as I'm doing here, using scraps that wouldn't be much use for much else. The small planks of spalted elm are from logs I took (with permission) from a felled, diseased tree local to me. Had them sat around for years, never really using them for furniture (with one exception) but, have proved useful for attractive additions to the workshop.
Making a Rocking Horse / Rocking Stool - Nearly! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-04-07 | So why is this rocking horse unfinished? Well, approaching Christmas of 2021, I thought it'd be a lovely idea to make a rocking horse/stool for my young nephew. He has some learning difficulties but loves to bounce around on the furniture. Great for him to have his own piece I thought (mum and dad agreed!). And so it began, using offcuts of poplar from a chair prototype, working on it on and off as time allowed. I ran out of suitable lengths of poplar offcuts and it was spring of 2023 before I could start work on it again. By early autumn of '23, it was just waiting for upholstery - at the back of a long queue (the upholstery for my pieces is complex and takes a while). So, there it's sat, un-upholstered for 8 months now. In this 2 1/2 year period, my little nephew is now not so little. He's shot up!! This rocking horse now comedically small for him, hence the "horse with no home". I probably will still finish it. Perhaps donate it to a local children's charity. I can't keep it around. Fills me with a sense of shame!Thought I'd share the build (so far) with you anyway. Hope you enjoy!
An Improvement To An MFT Fence System And Hinged Guide Rail Front Pin! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-03-22 | I knew when I received it that it'd only be a matter of time before the Benchdogs UK under rail support fence got bent. A slight 9x20mm protrusion from the fence proper, on my version, it was attached via connecting bar. Although these under rail pieces are now machined as a one piece, I still think it'd be a weak point. My fence doesn't stay on the bench. It gets stowed when not in use and so more likely to suffer the odd ding. This is exactly what happened to mine recently, bending my under rail piece slightly. Nearly ruined a whole bunch of drawer bottoms, though thankfully, they were only for me, not a client. In this video then, I go about making the under rail fence stronger. Plus, as a needs must to maintain cut capacity, I redesigned the front pin for my hinged guide rail too. Hope you find something to interest you in this vid.Cheers.
[GIFTED} Replaceable Blade Carbide Router Bits from Banggood Plus Law and Safety Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-03-15 | They're a great idea in theory, router bits with replaceable blades. You can often turn the blade when one edge gets dull and, when the blades are done, you can buy a new set, hopefully saving money (and waste) over buying a whole new router bit. Not much to dislike.I have 3 of the offerings available on Banggood to show you here (who have a sale coming up running to the 21st so watch the prices!) and there's little to complain about. You'll no doubt see them making many cameos in my videos this year. The end of the video I take the opportunity to talk about safety and legality with regards BS-EN standards. This prompted by a recent video by @10MinuteWorkshop reviewing a similar and large replaceable blade router bit. Safety is important and especially in woodworking. Not least because it seems very much one of those disciplines where any old Joe can have a go. Say it quietly, but even in the professional arena. It's just not regulated like the sparks and pipes trades for instance. Probably why it has one of the highest incident rates in all manufacturing! Hope there's something of interest here for you.

A Good Quality Fix For Slipping Parallel Clamps and F-Clamps! Oh...and Some Lidl Clamps. Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-03-08 | Ah...parallel clamps. Whether you're in the love them or hate them camp, I've come to regard them as essential for my chair glue ups. Known under several names (parallel clamp, parallel jaw clamp or body clamp), they're basically large, encased F-clamps but with larger feet. When a clamp like this goes, starts slipping and won't tighten anymore, it seems a lot of people put it down glue on the bar. It's not that. The forces going on in these clamps is more than enough to obliterate even hardened glue retirements on the bar. No, turns out, it's the clamping lever itself and a premium manufacturer - Bessey - presents us with a neat fix. And not just for parallel clamps. As mentioned, these are basically F-clamps so, if you have F-clamps that won't grip anymore, this fix will work for them too. Following this fix, I give you my first thoughts on a cheap pair of Parkside Lidl clamps ...that turned out to need a fix on day 1! You pays your money, you takes your chance. Hope you enjoy. Please share if you know anyone in need of this fix.

*[Gifted] Hongdui HD-KS22 Mitre Gauge Fence Review and Comparison To Incra Flip Fence Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-02-12 | In this video I try to give an in depth look at the Hongdui HD-KS22 mitre gauge fence. It's a premium accessory with a price to match so I feel it deserves it. My daily user mitre gauge fence up til now has been the Incra Extentable Flip Fence and Flip Shop Stop combo, so, as I review the Hongdui, I thought it'd be interesting to compare the 2. as they're a very similar price. Given my tiny workshop, I can only really keep one of these fences so it really is a shootout to see which one ends up staying on the mitre gauge. Will it still be the Incra or, will the Hongdui unseat it on the table saw?Both I use with the excellent Hondui HD-TB01 Premium Mitre Gauge.

Scheppach OSM600 Belt and Bobbin Sander Fix and Upgrade Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-02-05 | Following on from my initial review of this (gifted) belt and bobbin sander from Scheppach, in this video I fix the belt backing plate making if flat. This being made flat, also made it worthwhile adding a mitre gauge to the table top. The results of this combination made for some surprisingly accurate results. And yes, although I'm talking about the Scheppach machine here, the same issue (if it exists) can be fixed for the same machines - as in it's exactly the same! - from other brands including Triton, Clarke, DK Rutlands, Lumberjack, WEN, Holzstar, Bauer (Harbor Frieght), Grizzly, Sealey, Draper and - I think - Aldi/Lidl too.

*GIFTED* 7600 Lumen Adjustable Ceiling Bulb from Banggood. So Bright! Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-01-24 | I've really struggled with lighting in my little single garage workshop. You might think a small space is easy to light but, when filled with tools and machinery, it leads to many dark corners! These LED workshop and garage lights I found on Banggood proved an immediate improvement. No standing back to see if I can notice any difference. It was just much much brighter! No doubt about as you'll hopefully see in the video. Thanks to having several adjustable or deformable leaves to partner the 7600 lumens, I'm happy to report there's no more dark corners in the shop!It feels like industrial levels of lighting you might get in a factory. In terms of improvement to my lighting then, I'm completely sold. Thank to Banggood for supplying this light for purposes of review. Below there's a link to my actual light. I'll also link a broader search result for workshop lighting that'll give you all the options available at Banggood that might best suit your space.uk.banggood.com/custlink/DGDPAAwqwCuk.banggood.com/custlink/DGvPbbwkwH
*GIFTED* Scheppach OSM 600 Oscillating Belt And Bobbin Sander Review Bisch Basch Bosch 2024-01-12 | I really should have got one of these a long time ago! Here is my first look and thoughts on Schappach's OSM 600, budget belt and bobbin sander. It's functionality, light weight and small footprint would surely be a benefit to any small, creative woodworking workshop. Being an entry level machine, it's not perfect - indeed, I tried (and failed!) to fix one problem I spotted - but no deal breakers either. This'll will be a genuinely useful addition to my little workshop. Many thanks to Scheppach UK for reaching out to me and offering something for review.Link to the machine on the Scahppach UK website below (not an affilliate link). scheppach.uk/scheppach-oscillating-belt-spindle-sander-osm600instagram.com/bischbasch
Making A Drill Stand Part 2 - The Base - Profile Extrusion In The Workshop Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-12-18 | I this video, I take you through the making of a base to compliment the drill stand that was made in the previous video (part 1). The base is, for the most part, typical of aftermarket drill press tables or pillar drill tables that include an adjustable fence and flip stop. Mine really only differs in making a mount for the drill stand on the base.Still, I hope you find this video useful, helpful or interesting if you're planning on making something like it for yourself.

Making A Drill Stand Part 1 - Profile Extrusion In The Workshop Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-12-10 | In this video I endeavour to make a solid drill from aluminium profile extrusion. This is part in which I make the drill stand itself. In part 2, I'll be making the base with adjustable fence to mount it to, as well as doing more comprehensive demo of it in action.This is a straight up and down drill stand, not for angle drilling. I just wanted something that could drill reliably straight even with longer and larger diameter drill bits. I've not tried any drill stand that didn't have some degree of flex when pushed - except for this one!Made around an Openbuilds Spindle Mount with a 43mm sleeve, it can be used with any corded percussion drill, or cordless drill/driver with a 43mm collar. This opened it up for use with my Mafell FM1000 milling motor, turning it into a mobile surfacing router. If you're interested in any of the parts I used, I'll leave some links below. You'll be able to find the profile extrusions, corner plates, corner brackets, sliding t-nuts and screws on Ooznest. For the Linear rails, I'll provide a link to Banggood who offer good value options on the MGN 12 rails I use in the video.For Ooznest - ooznest.co.uk/#a_aid=629f6705cdd87&a_cid=11111111For Banggood Linear rails - uk.banggood.com/custlink/GmGF4HwYciinstagram.com/bischbasch
*GIFTED* HONGDUI HD-19 Half Gauge Review Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-12-01 | Another excellently turned out woodworking tool by premium Chinese tool manufacturer Hongdui. It's a marking gauge but, despite the name, doesn't do things by halves (damn! Wish I slipped that into the video somewhere!). This tool can be set to your stock height/thickness, automatically giving half that thickness at the blade end for marking. This makes it a useful centering or centre marking tool, as well as for laying out lapped and half lap joints. Useful for marking out tenons too!Much more handy than I thought it would be.Thanks to Banggood for supplying this tool for review with no obligation.

MFT Angle Cutting Fence For Plunge Saws From Aluminium Extrusion Profile Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-11-24 | In this, the second video about using aluminium extrusion profiles in the workshop, I'm making an adjustable angle cutting fence for my MFT type bench top. A sliding bevel I suppose you could call it. This will allow me to utilise the plunge saw for reliable, clean cut mitres for my furniture components. Something the mitre saw and table saw are a little inconsistent at. Furniture needs a little more finesse than they can offer. Avery straight forward build this one but, one I think could be of genuine use to some hobbyist woodworkers and tradesman alike. Mine is mounted to a Benchdogs MKII Fence System but, as I mention in the video, it could just as easily mount to a couple of dogs with something like Dave Stantons "Dogs Locks". I'm using a Mafell MT55CC saw and rail in the video but track saw and rail type won't affect compatibility.For new 20mm profiles and accessories, a good one stop shop is Ooznest in the UK.

Making A Sharpening Station From Aluminium Extrusion Profile Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-11-17 | This is the first in a small series of videos I plan to do on using aluminium (aluminum) extrusion profiles (V-slot) in the workshop.I first used it for making 2, half sized MFT type portable work benches some years ago. I quickly realised that the beauty of the stuff is, as your needs change, you can simply disassemble all the components and remake anew. Can be daunting selecting and buying components and profiles at first but, in no time, like fans of Mechano and Lego, you'll find yourself with a heap of sliding t-nuts, profiles, brackets and plates that allow you to get imaginative creating durable solutions for the workshop.Check eBay and Market Place for used profile bundles to get you going would be my advice. It's what I did to get started and it saved me a lot of money. For new 20mm profiles and accessories, a good one stop shop is Ooznest in the UK.

*GIFTED* The Katz Moses Hongdui KM-17 (PRO) Router Plane Banggood Review Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-11-11 | In this review I've really tried to highlight the unique feature that separates this KM-17 router plane from it's premium competition. In doing so, hopefully I've put to bed lazy comparisons I kept seeing all over the internet when researching. In particular, it's likeness (base pattern and fence) to the Veritas. There are actually a number of differences even in these similar parts - some covered in the video - but, where they differ completely is in the blade depth adjustment mechanisms.The blade adjust on the KM-17 actually functions similarly to a ball screw Z-axis on a CNC, just in miniature. This makes for a unique user experience by making adjustment on the fly an absolute breeze compared to it's competitors. After using it, I believe it's set a new standard in functionality. That, added to a machining and material quality easily on a par with Veritas and Lie Nielsen - all of which I 've used to varying degrees - Jonathan Katz Moses and Hongdui have created something a bit special. Not just workshop jewellery but, something that actually helps . I really hope they continue working together!

Retractable Hinged Guide Rail Do-Over Upgrade Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-10-27 | Addressing some minor niggles from my original design, this do-over makes my retractable hinged guide rail a dream to use and makes for super quick set up for plunge saw cuts on the MFT workbench.As far as I can tell, this is a unique design. Maybe no other woodworker is mad enough to try it! It does however serve a purpose for me. My workbench being in the middle of the workshop and serving as an outfeed for my table saw, having a guide rail and alignment pin that can be as quickly set up as cleared away, without any assembly/disassembly, is a god send. Anything you think not covered here is likely covered in my original video, link below. Cheers allyoutu.be/PpPzwBRvxb8?si=TBn-N7uJxVxoEakN
Mitre Clamping Block For Any Angle - Even Curves! Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-10-09 | Probably the worlds best mitre block because...it'll even allow you to clamp a mitre joint on work pieces with a curved profile. Necessity being the mother of invention again (it's the first I've seen of this design but, if it rings a bell, do let me know below), this little widget enabled me to clamp a curved arm rest to a straight leg for a new chair design. Seems woodworkers workshops are never complete without 1000 clamps. I seem to also have created as many jigs and aids for clamping my - often testing - looping frame furniture designs too! Most of the previous ones can be replaced by these new little fella's though.Love to hear your thoughts on them below.See my previous video on angle clamping for more tips: youtu.be/B7I_pjwgEZ0?si=LCmVOW6UPG7MZWz7
Utilising The Wood Available To Finish A Piece. Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-06-18 | With not quite enough Utile timber to finish a little side table, I added some Ash to bring it to dimension to finish the piece. And it turned out so nice, I may make it a feature option for paying clients!This table was a trial for a new joint type at the top of the legs so I was free to experiment a little. Only my making the two tone table top is covered in this video as there's already a video on the channel covering the complete table build. See here for more:youtube.com/watch?v=ZyS3O-49kkI

An Improved Support Foot for The Benchogs Guide Rail Square? Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-03-18 | It might just be me....but I've been bugged by the tiny support foot/rest on the Benchdogs.co.uk guide rail square since I've been using them. If you're ripping something down, narrower than the the distance between the rails anti-splinter strip and the support foot on the square, the rail square can wobble and sway about when you're trying to align to a mark for a cut. Not a deal breaker, just irritating. Well, I've finally done something about it! I show 2 simple fixes in the video. If it's something that's irritated you too, hopefully this will spur you on to just sort it.
A Rocking Chair In English Walnut Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-03-13 | In this video I take you through my building of a new rocking chair design for the Hibbs & Bailey Furniture Company. As ever, the design is based around a looping wooden frame - my signature style if you like. The aim with these designs is to pay homage - in wood - to the minimalist looping steel framed furniture from the 1930s and 40s, from designers like Marcel Breuer/Bauhaus and Eileen Gray.My preference is usually much lighter woods - White Beech, Maple or Sycamore for example. Here, we went with English Walnut. I think the walnut created a beautiful piece, its rich grain and figure adding interest. When on show, this walnut piece is the one people tend to gravitate to first. Walnut does that!Supplementary Viewing:Making A Bent Wood Lamination Former: youtube.com/watch?v=eCdc4bAwxSY&t=260s&ab_channel=BischBaschBoschRouting Machine (My Most Versatile Machine): youtu.be/pH54j7TR9O8Stabilise Your Router: youtube.com/watch?v=hj6ABUUL0aQ&ab_channel=BischBaschBoschHow I Finish My Furniture: youtube.com/watch?v=u6ocgiJ67Rk&t=2s&ab_channel=BischBaschBoschFind us on Instagram: instagram.com/bischbasch
Building a New Design for Side and Coffee Tables Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-02-24 | Building a side table with spalted elm top and English walnut frame and, a coffee table in white (unsteamed) beech. For such simple looking tables, there's a lot of work involved to create the seamless, smooth blend around the leg tops, stretcher and table top. Use of power tools and hand tools to create the effect. It's both satisfying to do and to run your hand around the finished article. Very tactile and, as an added bonus, have proved very easy to clean!These tables form part of the Looping Collection for the Hibbs & Bailey Furniture Company.

Out of Warranty Repair Service from Bosch Professional - Worth It? Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-02-09 | Failures happen. Even with the most reputable brands. Over the decades we've had a good few needs for repair from all sorts of brands: Hilti, Makita, Festool, Paslode (quite a few from Paslode!!), DeWalt and more. This is the first time I've had to use Bosch's repair service though.It seems online is where people go to vent their frustrations when there's a problem - understandable - and I think these negative reviews of service might give a one sided impression of what service is like for most. My personal experience has been largely trouble free getting tools repaired. This includes this recent one from Bosch. I thought I'd share my process and experience with getting my Bosch GMF (GOF) 1600 CE router via the Bosch website so, if you've never had to do it before, you might have some idea what to expect.And no...despite my user name and my owning a few Bosch tools, I am in no way affiliated with the company.
A Bespoke Spiral Plywood Staircase Installation ...And A House Renovation! Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-01-21 | This video, by way of available photos, shows the complete rebuild and renovation of an 18th century coach house, in a picturesque spot on the banks of a Cornish estuary. One feature of this build people have shown interest in seeing more about, is the bespoke plywood spiral staircase. You can see that coming together at 5:54 in the video. 10 layers of beautiful birch ply make up each step. 9 pieces forming a sculpted riser, with the 10th tread piece featuring a fluted walnut inlay, and lipped with sycamore for protection.This build was quite the rollercoaster and spanned the course of 2 years and was to prove the last job of it's type (site/construction) for me and my mentor. The build could probably have been completed in 8 months but it proved quite the stop start endeavour due to being on the grounds of a busy guest house, along with serious illness putting the job on hold for a number of months. Apologies for the quality of the photos and footage used. When we started this project, I didn't have a Youtube channel and the pictures taken were purely for our own memories. Hopefully that doesn't detract too much from what, I hope, is an otherwise interesting video.Cheersinstagram.com/bischbasch
Clamping Oblique and Square Mitre Joints Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-01-10 | This short video shows a couple of ways to pull mitre joints - whether square, oblique or even offset oblique like mine - tight, without needing to resort to excessive force. There's one main basic rule to follow, plus a couple other handy pointers to help stop clamp slip along the way.My favoured clamping aide is the home made/DIY blocks made from scrap wood for the job.The principle of these wooden blocks with a cutaway can be used much wider mitre joints too - on a waterfall table for example. Rather than a small block with a birds mouth cut away, you do the cutaway along a board the width of your workpiece. Just remember that centre line through the mitre!!A really versatile clamping aide shown at the end of the video is the lollipop type. You can find these on the Aliexpress link below. aliexpress.com/item/32960790504.html
Making An Outrigger for stable Template Routing! Bisch Basch Bosch 2023-01-01 | In this quick video then, I show a fairly universal way to make a stabiliser - or outrigger - using your router fence. Sometimes, better - and/or safer - results can be had from template routing on the workbench over the router table. This can mean you're having to balance an often heavy router on a narrow workpiece and template, which can lead to wobble and damage of the work. This simple outrigger keeps the router stable, allowing you to confidently and accurately machine your parts.If you're interested in the compression router bits I'm using in the video you can use the Banggood links below. A box will appear at the end of this video to direct you to my review of these bits after 6 months use too if you'd like to know more.

How I Finish My Wooden Furniture Bisch Basch Bosch 2022-12-21 | There's no one finish that gives me a uniform look across my furniture collection, whatever the wood. To that end, I developed a process using 3 different finish types, that give me that look across the collection among the variety of woods I use. For the light coloured woods - for example Poplar, Ash, White Beech (unsteamed beech) and maple - I use a finish called Bona Mega. The natural/neutral one. For the richer coloured woods - for example Walnut, Iroko, Cherry etc - I use my own oil/varnish blend.Lastly, for oak specifically, I use Osmo hard wax oil. Their Clear Glossy in particular.My process takes time but, with all 3 of the finishes after the 2 stage polishing, they would all appear to have used the same finish. They all share a pleasing glint and reflection without being glossy. All still feel like wood and importantly, are durable and low maintenance.
Making a Bent Wood Lamination Former Bisch Basch Bosch 2022-12-07 | A few more details if you expand the description. I only cover one type of form and process in this video, and along a uniform radius.There's a fair bit of information on glu-lam and bent wood forms online. Not all of it good if I'm honest.The type of form shown in this video is a male + female press. These are best for glued laminations, particularly those whose laminated edges will be on show, as they give uniform, consistent results.You can also use either just a female or male form, using clamps or straps to hold the lamination to the form. Personally, I would say this is best suited to steam bends for the most part. Vacuum is an excellent option for wider sheet veneers. How thick your strips or veneers for your lamination will need to be depends on a few things. In this video mine, at 4mm, were quite thick. As I was using a shallow, uniform radius, this was fine. If you want more acute radii. undulations and/or twists, it may be necessary to use much thinner veneers of 1.5 or 1mm for example. There's lots of opinions on glues. PVA's, PU's, powder resins like Cascamite or epoxies like I used are all fine. As mentioned in the video, PVA's (and PU's) have some elasticity which may be desirable. Cascamite and epoxies are a more rigid bond, indeed "phenol resorcinol formaldehyde" adhesives like cascamite, as well as epoxies, have been widely used in laminations for a long time in construction, boatbuilding and furniture making. On lighter coloured woods, I'd recommend epoxy as PU's and cascamite can be a bit showy. The latter do have excellent gap filling properties though which could be beneficial and, on darker woods, their slightly more showy glue line isn't an issue. Check your chosen glues pot and cure times, as well as suitability for laminations with distributors and manufacturers.
