Thought I'd get back to doing some wood work and put the welder down for a short spell. Like a lot of the work I show in my videos, I'm actually experimenting with techniques, materials, tools etc. This video is no different. The wood I used was an old Australian Hardwood 110 x 110 post. The grain was not linear and the wood was prone to splitting. In hindsight I would have liked to have used some nice timber such as, gosh anything but that hard wood that I used. Another experiment was making grooves using a home made groove cutter thingy, turned out ok, just keep sharpening it as it is only mild steel. I hope you enjoy the video. I'm happy to hear your thoughts and thanks for watching. P.S. Special appearance from my beautiful daughter Chloe whom had been swimming all day and had swimming pool hair!

$Can you Improve a cheap Mitre Saw?? - Is it worth it? - Forme Industrious A Sliding Compound Mitre saw is a very useful tool to have, whether you are a DIY weekender or a professional wood worker. There are so many on the market these days, and they all do the job but in my opinion, with greatly varied results. I have a saw that is 8 years old as of 2021. Its one of the cheaper brands and in this video I explore options to overcome some of the saws deficiencies. In the end I encountered multiple major problems. One of the issues is the Arbor float or play. This has been with the saw since I have had it and I have always wanted to fix it if possible. Yes the saw is in poor condition. The rust came very fast in fact, even when stored in my shed. I have the benefit of using some high end tools at Studio Dubbeld. A high end quality cabinet making and wood working school/business. In using their saw I quickly noticed how nice the saw works and how accurate it is, and it is not new, being 14 years old and used daily. Note 1; it is not my plan to throw mud at the cheaper saws, rather highlight the issues I have found since trying to up my woodworking game. The cheaper saws on many accounts are fantastic for their target buyers being DIY enthusiasts. They often do a lot of what the expensive brands do at a fraction of the cost, however with less accuracy and durability in my opinion. Note 2: I do not recommend trying to fix Arbor Float in the manner in which I depicted. Reason: you do not know what problems are behind the housing, for example, worn bearings/ housings. Cracks etc. Treat my video as a lessons learned on this manner.
