Just a guy building things and trying things out in his garage
I’m trying out the SawStop Revolution miter gauge. I thought I would try cutting the pieces for a pentagon.

So 360 degrees over 5 miters divided by 2 = 36 degrees.

I changed the miter gauge adjustment to 1 degree increments and then rotated it to 36 degrees and made my cuts.

Here are a couple more options for using the Low Profile Clamps from Bow Products on your CNC or work table. You can use a screw adapter to screw the low profile clamp directly to the workbench or CNC waste board.

Today I made a tumbler for a friend with a full wrap engraving. This is a “prism” style tumbler.

I’m using the High Country Tools 3/8” flush trim bit to cut out some charcuterie boards with my Sawstop router table. I cut out the 1/4” thick acrylic templates on my laser. This bit is a 3/8” diameter, but has a 1/2” shank.

I used Carveco CNC software with my Onefinity CNC to carve out the Onefinity Logo and the Redline CNC logo.

The next wood I am running through the Oliver 8" helical head jointer is a piece of 4/4 white oak. The board had a fairly straight edge, but that edge was extremely rough. After a couple passes I had a perfect 90 degree edge.

I cleaned out a drawer in my tool chest for the great tools I just received from Swan Tool Group.

I really like the size and weight of the Firehawk square. The depth stop is going to be really handy for setting router bits and saw blade depths.

Time to flatten another board. Tonight it's a nice piece of walnut. I use the xbox controller to run the Ripper flattening bit over the wood until I have hit all of the surface. Then I flip it over and do the same to the other side and get it to the thickness I want.

I had an opportunity to stop by the Harvey Woodworking headquarters recently. It was amazing to see the setup and the showroom with some of their amazing tools. I definitely could use one of the dust processors in the shop next.

I just added the new Kreg 20V Ionic Drive™ 1/4" Trim Router kit to my shop and I am putting it to use today rounding over some edges on these pieces of wood. It uses the new Kreg 20V Blue Ion batteries so you don't have to worry about cords getting in the way.

The next test for the Oliver 8" helical head jointer was running the face of a piece of poplar through it. A couple passes and the face of this board liked and felt like is was already sanded. You can see in the video there were no blade marks..

Time for the first piece of wood through the Oliver 8" helical head jointer. The first victim is a piece of poplar. I had already adjusted the fence to 90°. After just a couple passes, it was perfectly 90. I think I'm in love!

I have another Millennium Falcon catch-all tray I made from cherry on my Onefinity CNC that needs some finish. I’m using Bee’Nooba wax from Bumblechutes for many reasons, but I like how it makes the wood look.

I'm rounding over the edges on this cherry Millennium Falcon catch all tray using a 1/4" roundover bit on the SawStop router table.

I will be posting this on my web site if anyone is interested. Would make great gifts for the Star Wars fan in your life.

The last thing to do on this Oliver Machinery 8" helical jointer is to add a 4" Lightning Lock dust collection fitting. These make it super easy to switch dust collection between machines.

HOTO Tools sent me one of their new PixelDrive screwdrivers to try out. It has a great design, just like all of the other HOTO tools that I have.

The screwdriver and 30 different bits store in one compact cylinder.

I’m cutting out this millennium falcon catch all tray made out of cherry on the Harvey Ambassador C14 bandsaw. I love this awesome machine for doing things like this as well as resawing larger pieces of wood. Next, I’ll move onto the router table.

I carved this Millennium Falcon catch-all tray out of spalted maple on my Onefinity CNC and now that it has been all sanded and cleaned up it is time to add finish. I am using Bee'Nooba wax from Bumblechutes.

I got the Oliver Machinery 4235.230 8” jointer and needed a mobile base. This jointer is pretty long, which is great for the 72” long bed, but doesn’t allow for a lot of swivel mobile base options.
