    Router Bit Cabinet

    To post on IG or TikTok all you need is your phone.  The goal is to just shoot a quick update video, it doesn’t need to be professionally edited.  I’m guessing how you look at work and in the shop is similar.  The script would be something like.

    Hey this is Kev on Friday I will be releasing the next video on the Router Bit cabinet on my YouTube channel.  Also have discussions about my projects on my Forum, check out both the links are in my description.

    Then you # different woodworking terms.  In total may take 5-10 minutes.

    You should be able to add links in your profile for both your channel and forum.

    It's a fair observation and comment!

    This project was shot several months  months ago due to my work travel.  Not all of these projects end up published for a multitude of reasons.  A quick search in the private area will show those projects that haven't ended up published.

    A change I'm contemplating is moving these projects out of the private area into the public area once the videos are shot  and set on my publish schedule rather than when they're published.  Although, I don't normally run as far ahead as I was able to this year.  This year, I was nearly 6 months ahead of schedule which is not even close to normal!

    I know you bank videos for while you travel, and you have a bunch not yet released.  This was a suggestion more for the future.  Also since you have these in the bank, this is a good opportunity to do a IG post or better a short video talking about the next video release.  Before the next series, you could do a video promoting the forum and the discussions.  

    As for the moving projects from the private area, that’s 100% your call.

    I say my comment knowing you have already shot and edited this series.  

    With most of your projects you always bring to the forum looking for feedback on the design or other aspects before you start.  I know we had a good discussion about this particular project.  I wonder if it would help with traffic to the forum if you linked the discussion in the show notes and also made a quick reference on camera to the discussion.  It seems like a simple way to bring up the forum to people that may not look at the show notes.  You have to do what fits your style, but this just seems like a way to promote the forum for 15-30 seconds on camera.  Just my $0.02.

    How to plan the attack on a front door build?

    Thanks for all that, will definitely be researching all of that ... It will be covered, about 5' of covering that never sees direct sun and only would get wet if we got crazy with a water hose. so in my picture, if I measure the brown area, it should be an inch smaller than that?

     

    That is the actual door in there now.

    Not necessarily.  Generally will have trim at the edge of the door, so if you take the trim off you will get the actual size of the rough opening.  If you went to Home Depot and were looking for a interior door, and your rough opening (stud to stud width and floor to header length) is 31”x81”, you would buy a 30”x80” door, once installed you would trim 2 sides and top with casing.  The extra inch on long measurement usually requires some slope in case on an entrance/exterior door to protect from water infiltration and flooring.  On an interior door, the extra inch accounts for flooring as well.  Now if for some strange reason there is no trim, in your photo it has trim, measuring the door probably would work.  If you measure the door that should give you a close enough idea on size.  First step should be removing the trim.  The reason for the door being smaller than the opening is so that you can shim, insulate and weather strip. You don’t want the door right up against the Jack or King Studs, it will bow the jamb when you screw to framing and mess with how the door sits in the frame (jamb) and affect operation.

    The first thing to do is measure the opening.  The door and jamb should be an inch smaller.  Another thing to search is Stave core construction.  Doing solid wood can obviously be done, but the grain direction is important as well as the species, want a wood that doesn’t have large swings in wood movement.  If it is covered by a porch you can use a wider array of finishes.  I know not specific but just things I researched when I was thinking of doing ours after the estimates we got that I mentioned in that other thread.  Check out This is Carpentry, I think Gary Katz made a couple doors, he is a “finish and trim carpentry” expert.

    The forgetting or the ironing? 

    I’m surprised you didn’t set up some elaborate computer system that recorded you in slow motion, automatically edit and upload to your social media accounts. 😀

    Coop, the key if machined properly should provide all the tension to keep the pulley to the shaft, hence no need for a screw or anything.  Now since the key came out, I would still try to contact PM cause that shouldn’t come out without some force.  My guess is that the key was never fully seated and over time worked its way out.

    First thing would be how big of a cut your taking, it sounds like it’s being bogged down.  Have you tried with less down force pressure to see if it happens.  Have you or are you able to check the belt tension?

    They actually had the Pro in stock. For the small addition in battery size and the third camera, i didn’t see the value in the additional $200 per phone so we put the savings towards new iPads. 

    Good reasoning, your turning into a major techie!

    Had to order as they are on backorder and got the 13 and not the 13 Pro. I’ll never in my lifetime know what all I’m getting or how to use it. But, by golly, I’m current.🤬

    If they had to order, why didn’t you get the Pro you wanted?

    I can keep the phone on me and out of sight, that's not an issue with the amount of gear that I carry and wear.  However, I can't pull the phone out to check the time or each time it vibrates..  I knew that phone needed to be close.

    So in that case you should be fine.  You could probably just go to silent mode.
