I just watched the video. I have never been a big fan of these, but I actually like the water, it was creative.
I was really surprised at the end that the water just ran over the edge so nicely and didnt spill off ... did not see that coming
-
Also with the amount of screwups involved in this, it makes me feel normal haha ... Lots of guest appearances too. The end product, albeit pretty crazy, i think is still better than the normal ones.

I gotta ask, why would you replace a pretty door like that?
10 hours ago, Woodenskye (Bryan) said:I would assume that they have updated the house to a more modern style and the front door doesn’t fit. Then again maybe Drew just wants a challenging build.
Hah! Bryan is correct on both 🙂 ... Although, I have never liked all glass doors like that to begin with. Crafstman style doors are my all time favorite!

Here is the front door from the outside. you can see it’s about 5’ protected from the elements won’t ever get direct sunlight

Do you plan on replacing it with the type of door shown on your video, with the side lites opening?
I have not come to a final design yet, something similar to it, but not arched. I am not sure on the side openings as I am not sure how much use they would be in texas when the weather sucks 10 months out of the year haha

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.
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?
4 minutes ago, Coop said:While I’m looking, is the pictured door your current one or one that you would like to build?
About 8 months ago, I built an interior door using solid walnut and have had no problems with it at all. I also built the jamb and casing and drilled and mortised for the hardware. Mine was much simpler as it didn’t have the side lites like yours shown but an opening is an opening. You obviously have to account for things such as brick molding. I specified to my builder, the size opening that I wanted where you are limited to your current opening. There are several YouTube videos out there as I’m sure you have researched. Some are really strange and some are very professional.
That is the actual door in there now.

Soooo part of the reason I was posting the other door video was because I was researching front door vids.
this is 68W x 80 1/4H (brown parts) basically.
my questions are …
1) how do I go about measuring actual size so I know how big to build my jamb?
2) is there more too it than basically building a bigger version of a floating panel cabinet door? I know the doorknobs are kinda a special thing but just talking about the overall build.
any tips/advice or good YouTube vids to watch? Kev you sure your wife doesn’t want a new front door so I can watch 🤣🤣

I wore one of your tee shirts with the full intent of having my friend take a pic of me in front of the Festool booth and darned if I didn’t forget. I even ironed it before I left home!
why is this not surprising 🙂

I guess I’ve never seen a $26k door and I’ve never owned a home that suggested that I need one. Personally, I liked the one they took out better, although it didn’t have side doggy doors.
haha, ya that is the first time I have seen that type of window openings on doors before. Neat little idea to just open all the way

We had a basic door priced for our house, nothing elaborate, just something you would see at a home center, but since it was a custom size due to door opening, the let’s call it $4K door was going to be $11,000. So I could see how that door is $26k.
Interesting. Never actually paid much attention to doors lol
-
$26k seems like a lot, although I know the arched entrance brings in a lot of difficulty not normally there in a lot of doors. Although I was kinda shocked when he said ash was one of their favorite woods for doors. Also, the design element for the side windows to open and get a breeze through I thought was a really cool idea. I mean, for somewhere probably not Texas where you could use this for more than a month or 2 a year that is ..

You should be good. I’m at a loss as to what holds the pulley to the shaft. The key only, I think, keeps it turning. I don’t see threads in the center of the shaft where a screw and washer would keep it from running off the shaft. How long have you had the machine?
I have had this jointer for about 2-3 years now, bought new.
10 hours ago, Woodenskye (Bryan) said: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.
I was thinking the same thing ... will still contact them and see what they have to say.
9 hours ago, Coop said:My closest observation similar machine is my bs. Both the upper wheel and lower are secured with a bolt to the shaft, keeping them both co-planer, otherwise there is a chance of a run out on one or the other. There is probably something that I’m not seeing or understanding. My bad.
ya its kind of a goofy design ... that little pin helps keep the wheel the belt runs on and the blade head connected. I would assume the the belt drive doesnt need to be exactly co-planer is the blade head is fixed and no chance of run out like the bandsaws

When you reinserted the key into the keyway, was it snug? The key looks a little misshapened in the pic. May want to order another key. If I’m not mistaken, the key is kind of like the shear pins in the old out board motor propellers. They are designed the shear off in case there is an overload, or in the case of the propeller, you hit a stump or rock. Glad that’s all it was.
not sure what its actually supposed to look like haha ... it was snug once I got it back in there though. finished milling the last 10 boards just fine.

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?
Small cuts. Like 32nd heavy.
then sitting in the ground I found me a little metal piece randomly …
looked at the pulleys…
and figured that’s gotta be it …
got it back in and everything is working like it should again … crazy stuff. Never figure that thing would have wiggled loose like it did. Glad I randomly found it on the ground too haha.

was milling down some wood. About halfway through on this piece of poplar the motor does this … it also takes like 20 seconds to get up to speed when turned on.
going to be contacting PM as well but curious if y’all have dealt with this or have an idea of what is going on?

looking great!!

I wanted 150 grit and ordered the 3” by mistake. I don’t see 150, 6” on Amazon.

I ordered 3” disc from amazon by mistake and they don’t sell the 6” except in a variety pack of 2 per grit. Ended up having to order from Wurth Machine Store and with shipping, cost is about $.80 per sheet.
what do you mean?

So does the bed fold up so it can be more like a couch? I would think that if you were camping in this and the weather was bad, you would want a place to sit that wasn’t the bed or the front seats (unless the fronts are made to swivel).
No, was debating on the folding bed and all that ... decided not to on this. There should be enough foam pads to move around to create a bench against one of the walls. Also, can use the bumper as a footrest if you are sitting in the back. Not super comfy, but can be done.
The front captains chairs do not swivel, this van isnt that fancy 🙂

ahhhh ya that does put a damper on things ... although maybe going forward these quick little blips are noted down in the projects to do, so really once its time to toss on IG or whatever, it takes a min to do since you have everything and no need to think about anything at that time.
