How to fix a damaged cross-cut saw fence
This is a film I didn't want to make. Someone has used my saw without asking and damaged the fence. I have to fix it. It's not pretty, but there is an unepected benefit at the end.

Artist's Companion - perfect gift for the budding artist in your life!
Переглядів 668Місяць тому
This Artist's Companion, or tabletop easel, was rather more challenging than I anticipated and I had an unfortunate mishap half-way through. But, whilst not entirely how I intended it to turn out, I'm fairly pleased with the end result. Fortunately so is the budding artist in question!
Low-Tech circular saw sharpening jig!
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 місяці тому
Plans at www.stevemaskery.com/jig-plans/p/universal-circular-saw-sharpening-jig This jig handles all sizes of blades in my workshop, from my little biscuit jointer blade (100mm) up to my SCMS blade (12"). It also handles all the various rake angles, too. And the best bit, it is quiet, gentle, and doesn't fill the air with tungsten carbide dust. What's not to like?

Tablesaw finger-saving featherboard!
Переглядів 1,6 тис.5 місяців тому
This featherboard is easy to make and keeps my fingers well away from the blade. It pushed the workpiece hard towards the fence and down onto the table at the same time, thanks to the angled feathers. You can just clamp it to the table if you wish, but I've mounted mine onto my secondary fence which makes it very easy to adjust.
High-Quality Rip Fence for your Tablesaw or Bandsaw!
Переглядів 6 тис.5 місяців тому
If your rip fence leaves a lot to be desired, why not build your own? Steve Maskery shows you how you can make a high-quality rip fence easily, with very little metalworking skills and NO WELDING, using readily availaible materials. It may be quick, easy and inexpensive to built, but it is absolutely top-notch. Full plans in both Metric and Inches are availalbe on my website: stevemaskery.squar...
Thin workpiece Planing Board
Переглядів 2,9 тис.5 місяців тому
I need to be able to plane some rather thin pieces for box partitions. The issue is how to hold them? Regular vices are not suitable, but this Planing Board is the perfect solution. The workpiece doesn't move and the surface is unobstructed. What's not to like? For more low-tech ideas for help in the workshop, check out some of my other videos: The Square of Thales - ua-cam.com/video/0j2g0FtvkB...

How to make a stiff knob more comfortable to operate!
You've ended up with a better product as you can swap the ends for whatever angle cut you are making.
Pretty nice work, Steve! 😃 Well, I only hope the guy had to listen to some... lessons! 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great fix there Steve and yes, l certainly wouldn’t have been happy either 🤬!
Elegant solution to a frustrating situation Steve
Thank you Bob. I hope the world is well with you.
Knowing how much work you had put into making that fence even makes me upset at your builder. It's admirable though how you were willing to find a positive end result. It is still a very respectable example of a reliable work fence, one that you couldn't find out of the box. Kudos to you 👏
Sounds as though your 'builder' waers a Stetsun and arrived on a horse!?
What did you do before when you needed to make an angled cut on a long board?
Usually arranged it so that I swung the blade to the right, but if I had to do it left-handed I removed the auxilliary fence first.
Have you sacked your builder yet ? the guy sounds like a big problem just waiting to happen
Yes I have, I have found someone else to finish the job. The trouble is that France shuts down for the whole of the summer, so it will still be a few weeks before it is done. Then I go on hols and before we know it the leaves will be falling...
Beautifully done
Steve - you really need to use extraction with your domino. The amount of eccentric movement in the machine means it needs to be extracted otherwise it could wear out early or worse fail.
You are absolutely right, and I usually do. But my shopvac was in use elsewhere and I am getting lazy in my old age. But yes I should do so every time.
You have a better tolerance than me but I’m glad you took the high road
Good advice don’t let sons borrow either 😂
Fantastic idea. I would want to extend the depth of the 'point' to touch the workpiece, thus avoiding parallax errors due to my poor sight!
You are right to identify the risk! That is why I stress the importance of keeping the board thin.. And I fully understand the eyesight issue - 2 years ago I was blind in one eye, now it is better than the other. Yay! The NHS, with all its faults, is fantastic.
@@stevemaskery3568 Agreed - I am glad you had a positive outcome, my friend.
I have looked a bunch of tapered leg jig ideas but this one is the simplest, best and most useful one I have seen. i just made it and use it and it was fantastic. Thanks.
Glad to have helped. Sometimes simple is best, eh? :)
You don't have good angle view of the camera
Thank you for sharing this really helpful information, Keep up the fantastic videos
Funny, he uses a phone to calculate the angle block length, when he could easily download one of the many very acurate angle apps to prove angles... without mucking about the hassle of having to hand planning tiny blocks to length or to use any sine bar laying about. Stop yibber yapping to ya phone and get up with the times - old school techniques left earth a couple decades ago.
You are very rude indeed. You miss the point entirely. If you don't like it, just move on.
Maskery is a wise wolf who hunts with intelligence, then regurgitates for foreign wolves. Mixed metaphors aside, this is as rare as hen's teeth. I wish more knowledgeable people would share with such generosity of heart.
Thank you very much indeed.
How do you know where to position the “blunt end” If you can put it anywhere, the angles could change depending when you place it !
No, that's not right, the angle is always the correct angle. I'm afraid you misunderstand. Watch it again :)
Steve, you're a GREAT teacher! Thanks! 🏆
First thing i noticed watching your video, is how much you sound like Michael Caine the actor. I wasn't 20 seconds into your video and your voice was the first thing that hit me.
Very cool!
I do like your multiple jig inserts and one sliding table! I have seen a lot of similar videos cutting the slots on one side of the joint and then cutting the second piece. However, another video cut the first slot in one piece then located the edge and allowed the matching slot in the second piece to be cut. The two pieces were then fitted over the pin and "glued" with double sided tape. The remaining slots in both pieces were then cut at the same time. I feel that this would have a better chance of ensuring that the pitches match perfectly. Would this remove (or reduce) any errors in a "creeping pitch"?
It might possibly make the operation very slightly faster, but it would be marginal. And if you have "creeping pitch" then there must be some sort of inaccuracy in the jig, or in the way it is being operated. I've had and used this jig for several years now and have never had such problems, so I'm happy to leave it as it is. The only time I've had a (very small) problem was after the jig had been in a damp environment for a couple of years. The dimensions of the peg increased by a fraction, making location a tad stiff, but a few minutes recalibrating it sorted that out.
Nice work shop
Bandsaw and blue tape, much safer to trim cosmetic peices ... Same with drilling you use the offcut as supports
EW is this a coffin 😂😂😂😂😂
No, it's a casket.
Very interesting thanks.
Excellent like all others before. Just one thing Steve, when you make videos like this do not use the blade guard for the viewers to be able to see the cut as is made, everybody does that for video purposes only, you should though give verbal emphasis of-course that the blade guard should be always be used.
Over the last 20 or so years I’ve purchased at least two different types of sharpening jigs that I’ve not been really happy with. This one that you’ve made is annoying in its simplicity. Wish I’d thought of it $200 ago. Love it! Great idea! Great design! Thanks
This would drive me nuts either you have the skills and the eye or waste time
Just another skill to keep in the back of your mind....you never know.
I use a 4” PVC elbow cut to surround the lower tracking rollers and connected to my 4” diameter dust collector. With the large volume of air getting sucked down I hardly get any dust on the table top. Basically I doubled the volume of air sucking the dust close to the actual generator of dust.
Great video Mr. Steve. Can't wait to build a fence for my old American Crafstman table saw!
That's brilliant!
Great video! Just what I needed! Subscribed :^)
I have a very old one that keeps going for ages after the power is off. I have a felt wheel on one side and made a stop block with some felt that I press against it to stop it. Works perfectly!
Stunning, Steve! Truly amazing work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I'm just starting to watch, Steve... But I have to say, I'm probably going to build one for myself! 😂 (It's been too long since I painted anything... I need to change it!)
Lovely project, Steve. An heirloom tote for many generations to take on adventures to paint the French countryside 😊
Thank you very much. I sincerely hope so.
When lowering the board, your hand is so close to the router bit. Is there any other technique which is more safer? Also, it you are doing this with very hardwood lick Hichory or Jatoba, is there a chance of kick back when you are lower on to the blade?
You are right to realise that this is a potentially risky technique. But the risks are minimised by two very important factors. 1. Take VERY shallow cuts, just 1 or 2 millimeters at a time. Yes, that makes it time-consuming. 2. Make sure that the two stop boards are well clamped. The one nearest me is the most critical. But together the two give me a very controlled cut.
Very good
Any chance you have the plans done in inch instead of mm.
Sorry, no. Millimetres are the international standard for length. But it's easy enough to convert. As a rule of thumb, 25mm is roughly equivalent 1", or if you want to be more precise, 25.4mm = 1". HTH.
Hi Steve, I’m an ex pat who now lives in NZ. I’ve just found you on UA-cam. Down here, some places around the country have “ Coffin clubs” where obviously they help you build your own coffin to your design. A friend of mine built his own, then shelved it to use it as a cupboard in his workshop. Great channel, please keep up the good work. Mark
I saw a documentary about such clubs. One lady was using hers as a planter until the day came! Great idea. :)
Great video Steve. As normal. Appreciate you sharing the production issues. Glad its not just me.
Great video Steve. Finally someone on UA-cam has the same table saw I have. Do you have a video on making a new riving knife?
I have made a new RK for my saw, for use with thin-kerf blades. I did film it, but IIRC I lost the footage. The biggest problem is preventing the steel from warping while it is being worked. It needs to be kept flat.
This is an awesome use of a sine bar. And it works great on a table saw. I wonder how it might be used on a miter saw.\
Thanks for all your generous vides, Steve. Your woodworking channel is one of, if not the most informative on UA-cam and deserves many more subscribers. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much indeed. It's taken 16 years to get to 18K subscribers...
I'm interested to learn more about whow to make coffin.
Well I never ! I once made a part for a small boat and could have really used one of these. I've never seen or heard of one of these before now . Definitely my next little project. Love it , thanks. 🙂
"Thalese" seems like a better way to spell it. You pronounce "beta" wrong.
Excellent application of basic geometry.
