Popular Post ..Kev Posted October 7, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 My youngest son wants to get into the hobby and asked if we could build a bench together. I wanted to build something that could grow with him if he decided to stick with this hobby. Poplar base with Mable top and some storage. Simple front vise and a Veritas tail vise.. No BC hardware, just wasn't in his budget Thanks again to Mel for the design work! I'll list out all the costs in the last video.. I think there will be 4 videos even tho we only had about 3.5 days to get this build done! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I too like the new logo. Gonna miss the old Tune It Or Die studios. Glad to hear your son will be helping. This should be interesting. You trying to stay behind the camera while he does the work. We’ll see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ..Kev Posted October 14, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Time to get the base done. The kid was a little uneasy at first on the tools so, I walked him through each step and showed him and then let him take over.. We finally pick up a pretty decent rhythm by the end of the video.. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You show them the safest way to use the tool, you realize that they don't want to stick the fingers in a spinning blade any more then you do, but you still get nervous. Then you turn the shop lights off for the day and go have a beer... or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Art Posted October 15, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 My wife and I are billeting a young soccer player from the Vancouver Whitecaps, and I promised him I would get him into the shop and start teaching him some stuff. He had never held any sort of power tool before yesterday. We are making a cutting board for his Mom for Christmas, so yesterday we started with some rough Maple and Walnut, and I had him mill it down and glue it up. We made sure he watched me do it first, but he is a quick study, and did well. I told him that when he is a famous pro soccer player, he still needs to know how to operate basic tools 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool when you get more enjoyment out of the teaching process than you do out of the project itself! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Wow, I would put that in my shop and never look back. Collin did some really good work and now has a nice area to do some more. 17 hours ago, ..Kev said: Collin actually speaks in this one Some of us just aren't in front of the camera types. How many times did you try to get me to say something on camera? Had to keep beating you off with a stick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was open to him the whole time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
