Q2 2023 Shop Update / Q&A KC Woodworks 2023-06-03 | Second Quarter Shop Update! Once again I’ve been gone for work most of this first quarter. A lot of new toys in the shop to take a peek at this time! I’m looking forward to getting the time to play with them.. New Shop Stuff• Carter Guides – These have been on my bandsaws for a while now and I’m really liking them! They’re a little expensive but worth every penny. • Set Up Blocks and Fence – Also from Carter, I added the set up blocks and the mag fence. Just some nice things to have right at the saw when needed.• Veritas Flip Stop – If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I prefer a flip stop whenever possible. I ordered the veritas one and really like it! Traditionally, the biggest drawback to these is that they tend to flex a bit. • Collins Spring Clamps and Plyers – I’ve been seeing these a lot lately so, added a set to see how they work into my flow. Here’s the link.. @uct/B083F883X7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image• Finishes Cabinet – I’ve been super happy with this! I thought it was going to be congested in that corner but, it’s actually turned out really well!• Shooting Board and Plane – You’ve probably seen the Rob Cosman shooting board hanging on the wall for a bit. The Veritas plane was on back order but, has finally arrived so, I’m looking forward to getting this into my workflow. PMV-11 blade – If you’re reading this, you’ll notice that I got the wrong shooting plane from LV.. I’m a righty. So, reordered and got the correct plane.• Clamp Wall – Always trying to improve shop organization and work flow.. This project video will be coming out in the next couple of months but, it looks like you get a little preview here! Obviously this adds a great deal of storage to some basically unused space but, also opens up a great deal of opportunities at the assembly table.• Laser Engraver – It’s here and I’m a complete Noob with them! I’ll leave the company nameless at this point as they reached out to me to do a review. I told them I would only do the review if it could be completely honest and unbiased. Long story short, they chose to go in a different direction. So, I ordered one of their machines and will do the review on it anyway. As always, it’s important to me to keep my reviews as fair and honest as I can. That’s also why you don’t see the mid roll ads on my channel.. I don’t advertise products I don’t use or believe in.All of the items listed above were purchased by me. None were provided by any outside source or company. Viewer Questions .• Got asked when the new lathe is going to be in. o Still in the works.• Got asked how the Fiddes and the Rubio is holding up against water rings?o Here’s the test pictures.. Glasses of ice water left on both the Fiddes and Rubio test boards for about 15 hours. These boards were from the comparison video so, both are fully cured.• Got asked if my wife had decided on the hardware for the bedroom furniture?o Looks like I’ll be building these myself. Certainly something a little different from the furniture I’ve done in the past.Coming Up:• There’s a few projects being designed right now..o Bedroom Furniture – The nightstands are actually complete.. All the material is on hand for the build. I’m also batching out all of the drawer stock for the dresser at the same time. Makes for a long milling day but, at least it was just one day. Of course the dresser and bed are still coming as well.o Lathe – It’s coming! Stay Tuned.o Tool tray for the Roubo – I tested if I’d still be able to reach my tool cabinet with the added width and this project is back on the books! Low on the priority list but, definitely on the list.o I still have one end table to design and build for our living room.o Ray’s Shop – He should be getting under way soon on his now shop which will need a lot of new shop furniture. I’m sure there’s lots of videos coming here!Social Media Stuff: • Website - We’re currently caught up on plans so, if there’s something you really want plans for, let me know. • Amazon Affiliate Page - I really appreciate the support and it’s helping!

Grandmas Bible Box KC Woodworks 2023-05-20 | I recently came into possession of my Grandmother’s bible and wanted a good place to store/display it.

Panel Sled KC Woodworks 2023-03-11 | I’m a huge fan of the panel sled in the shop vs the traditional cross cut sled. Probably my most often used sled!

Fiddes vs Rubio KC Woodworks 2023-02-25 | I’m asked often “what’s the best finish?” So many factors go into answering that question that it’s nearly impossible to answer in a single video.

Ultimately, only you can make that decision but, I hope now you’ll be a little more informed.Link for the Amazon Affiliate Page: store.kevswoodworks.com/affiliateLink for the Website and Plans: kevswoodworks.comLink for the Forum Site: forum.kevswoodworks.comMy Email: Kev@kevswoodworks.comFacebook: Kev's WoodworksInstagram: kevs.woodworksThanks to Mark Chutuk for the awesome music!

Ultimate OF Table / Work Table KC Woodworks 2022-10-22 | I wanted to redo the OF Table videos that I did early on when I started filming projects.

3rd Quarter Shop Update KC Woodworks 2022-09-10 | 3rd Quarter Shop Update! Believe it or not, I’ve been gone for work for nearly this entire quarter! Not a lot to update for this quarter but, some exciting projects coming up!Viewer Questions .• Got asked why I don’t change up my clamp storage to stack them by size on the wall. There’s actually a few reasons for this..o Increasing the depth on this wall could interfere with the outfeeds on both my bandsaw as well as my router table.o This is an internal wall with 2x4 construction that has drywall on the other side and I don’t want to create undue pressure on the studs. It would probably be fine but, I don’t see the need to take the risk.o I prefer the ability to make sure all the clamps get regular use. With the stacked method, the clamps in the back get much less use than the ones in the front. This is a preference for me and again, I’m not sure that it really matterso It’s an easier glance for me to ensure that all the clamps are thereo Ultimately, because I have the wall space and prefer it this way.Coming Up:• There’s a few projects still on the list for this year! o Stock Guide reviewo Rockler RT DC Reviewo Another bench build! – Stay tuned, much more to come on this one!• I’m leaving for work again in September and won’t be home until NovemberSocial Media Stuff: • Website - We’re currently caught up on plans so, if there’s something you really want plans for, let me know.

Router Table Enclosure / Dust Collection KC Woodworks 2022-07-02 | Router Table dust collection has always been horrible in my shop. Even with a great dust collector and 2 connections on the table, I still ended up with a great deal of dust on the floor. I enclosed the stock frame which gave me a little storage space as well as a smaller box around the router to collect all that dust more efficiently. Not a lot of actual woodworking in this video as I go through my thought process for this particular table with the side mount height adjustment for the router lift.Link for the Amazon Affiliate Page: store.kevswoodworks.com/affiliateLink for the Website and Plans: kevswoodworks.comLink for the Forum Site: forum.kevswoodworks.comMy Email: Kev@kevswoodworks.comFacebook: Kev's WoodworksInstagram: kevs.woodworksThanks to Mark Chutuk for the awesome music!
Q2 2022 Shop Update : Q&A KC Woodworks 2022-06-18 | 2nd Quarter Shop Update! I waited until the day before I left to shoot this video so that I didn’t have to try and shoot if from a hotel room while on the road for work. It’s actually being shot a few weeks early but, it’s the best I could do considering we just returned from the birth of out first grandchild.Link for the Amazon Affiliate Page: store.kevswoodworks.com/affiliate Link for the Website and Plans: kevswoodworks.com Link for the Forum Site: forum.kevswoodworks.com My Email: Kev@kcwworks.com Facebook: Kev's Woodworks Instagram: kevs.woodworks Thanks to Mark Chutuk for the awesome music! Viewer Questions .• Got asked for some pictures of the cradle in use as well as the dresser. We had such a quick trip that I just didn’t get many pictures of these items in use. I was pretty busy just enjoying my granddaughter! More pictures to come I’m sure.• I got askes what size the dominos were for the slats in the cradle – They were 4 x 20s• Got a request to see my wife’s quilting room. The Quilt Rack video is complete and on the schedule for release. It’s currently scheduled for an August 13th release.• I got asked what blade I was running on my band saw to get the glue ready cuts on the Table Lazy Susans. I’m running a ¼” 10tpi blade. The cuts aren’t as clean on thicker material but, work great for these.• Thanks to everyone for their feedback on Ray’s Shop Tour! It really is a fun shop to work projects in!• Got asked how long it takes in real time to wax all those clamps. Not as long as you might think because I try and stay on top of it. I think they took me a couple hours to get through.• Got asked if I sharpen all the chisels and planes or just the ones most frequently used. I sharpen them all. I just don’t keep track of which ones I used so, they all get a tune up. Obviously, some get a little more work than others.• Got asked how many table saw blades I keep on hand. I keep 4 Forrest WWIIs on hand in 40T regular kerf. When 2 are dull, I ship them off for sharpening. The ones I just sent (2) cost me $65.00 for sharpening and return shipping.• Got asked what I do to prepare my shop when I’m gone for long periods of time. Fortunately, not a lot. I live in a pretty dry climate so don’t have the rust issues that someone in a humid climate would have to deal with.

I’m ready for another big project for sure!• We’re looking into adding a building to the property so, there will be some videos there as well.

Rays Shop Tour KC Woodworks 2022-06-04 | Got the chance to do another shop tour while on the road. This shop belongs to my good friend Ray in Washington state.

Table Lazy Susans 2022 KC Woodworks 2022-05-20 | Table Lazy Susans – I get fairly frequent requests for them and it was time to come up with something a little different.

Q1 2022 Shop Update and Q&A KC Woodworks 2022-04-23 | 1st Quarter Shop Update! A really crazy work schedule has made me rethink some of the larger projects this year! 2 long jobs with about a month in between doesn’t leave me a lot of time to capture enough content to maintain the video release schedule. So, I’ll be doing a series of smaller projects and will get to the larger ones when the work schedule lightens up.Link for the Amazon Affiliate Page: store.kevswoodworks.com/affiliate Link for the Website and Plans: kevswoodworks.com Link for the Forum Site: forum.kevswoodworks.com My Email: Kev@kcwworks.com Facebook: Kev's Woodworks Instagram: kevs.woodworks Thanks to Mark Chutuk for the awesome music! Viewer Questions • Got asked for an up close picture of the results from the Rikon HCM.. Here you go.. Still had the ¼” set up in it from the cradle.• Got a question asking why I didn’t use the HCM instead of the router on the mortises in the changing table. Easy answer is no reason at all. Either would have worked awesomely! In hindsight, the HCM probably would have worked better as I wouldn’t have had to round over the tenons. I will try and incorporate this in more future videos• Follow up with the actual measurement on my MG-36.. Follow up video gauge was 32 thousandths.. Mine is 21 thousandths. For the record, I still think this is a top notch miter gauge. I also think that Harvey has some issues to work out with their QC and their customer service. I personally haven’t had any issues with either of these items but have seen many negative social media posts regarding these 2 items.• Thanks for all the kind words around the cradle and our first grandchild! This was a fun build for sure and we’re looking forward to seeing it in use!• Got asked to show the alternate top for the Changing Table / Dresser – Fact is that I haven’t made it yet. The pile of 6/4 is still sitting in the rack though waiting for me to find the time to do it. Is there any interest in this being a stand-a-lone video? • Got a request to see my wife’s quilting room. I’ve got a quilting rack video planned this year so, will show her room in that video. I’ve actually done quite a few videos for the furniture in that room where you can see it but, I’ll do a full tour of her quilting room when I build the quilting rack.Coming Up:• Because of the work schedule this year, here’s a list of some of those smaller projects that I think I’m going to do..o Table Lazy Susan’s – A new versiono Book Shelveso Quilt Racko Shop Tune upo Changing Table/Dresser top – If there’s interest?o Possibly a tool review on the Rockler Box Joint Jigo And, as always, looking for viewer requestsSocial Media Stuff: • Website - We’re currently caught up on plans so, if there’s something you really want plans for, let me know. The website glitch with the missing plans has been fixed so, you should be able to now find the plans you’re looking for.• Amazon Affiliate Page - I really appreciate the support and it’s helping! There’s a link above to the affiliate page. Whether it’s me or anther content creator, this is a great way to support those creators at no cost to you. • Instagram – Because I work on the road, I often build projects and bank them for when I’m gone so that I have content to release. Many of these projects can be seen on Instagram long before the videos are released. Also, there’s many projects that don’t get filmed that I show on Instagram. • YouTube – Busy first quarter of 2022 for my “day job”. I was fortunate to have enough material banked to maintain the release schedule. The next job will see me gone for several months again so, there may be a hiatus video in the future but, I’m working hard in the shop to ensure that doesn’t happen. • Forum Site – It’s all about the members – Members are typically involved in conversations around my builds and their input is always appreciated!
Cradle Pt 2 KC Woodworks 2022-04-09 | Part two of the Baby Cradle build.. As I finish this build I can honestly say this is one of the most satisfying builds I’ve ever done!

Harvey MG-36 Follow Up KC Woodworks 2022-02-15 | After seeing the recent negative review on the Harvey MG-36 by someone I really respect in the woodworking community, I wanted to revisit this review to see if those issues were present or if the reviewer got a bum product. I was able to get my hands on one locally while on the road for work to get a look at one that I had never seen before. They were gracious enough to open their shop to me and film this review. Special thanks to Daniel who found some camera gear for me and knew the shop owner and, to Michael for opening up his shop to me to shoot this video. I’m happy to say that I stand by my original review and will continue to recommend this miter gauge. I do have some concerns around Harvey’s customer service! I haven’t needed them to date and hope I don’t have any issues if/when I do!
