1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,640
What's up, Photoplane? This is the behind the scenes of my board game table build that you

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,200
can see in my AMD upgrade, which will be out. You won't have seen a lot of the build in the

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,280
actual upgrade because we'll be mostly focused on building the two computers that are strapped

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,560
underneath. But I thought it'd be really cool just to go over how I built the table, the inspiration

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:24,000
behind it, and really feature stuff that we don't really cover a lot on this channel,

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,720
which is woodworking. Yeah, it was my first big woodworking project that I've done.

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,480
I went again to woodworking for a while and the AMD upgrade was

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,720
the best push that I had to get into it. I don't suggest building a table of this size as your

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,480
second woodworking project. I made it work and I'll go over kind of what I did. It might be out

10
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:49,920
of sequence just because I've done a lot of the work already and it's a lot further than it used

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,520
to be like six months ago. So I started with SOLIDWORKS as it's the program that I use in my

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,200
day-to-day work. I always find putting ideas on SOLIDWORKS better than just trying to nervously

13
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,160
think them out. But before that, I had to draw inspiration from what's already out there.

14
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:13,920
So a quick Google search of board game tables put ideas in my head and then I kind of narrowed it

15
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,880
down to some styles that I really liked and some features that I wanted to have in my board game

16
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,440
table. So I have a lot of different styles of board games and they require different organizational

17
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:29,440
methods to play properly. And also I also don't like drinks at the table because if you spill

18
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,640
on a board game, well rest in peace board game. I settled on a rail attachment mechanism by a board

19
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:43,840
game table manufacturer called Wormwood. They make what I consider in my opinion the best rail

20
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,320
mechanism or like best attachment mechanism I've ever seen. And what it entails is, you know,

21
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,800
Crater Warehouse's favorite thing, freaking magnets. They have these mild steel bars and all

22
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,680
you need to do is your attachment must be less than the distance between this and you can just

23
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,200
slot it in there. And it just like sandwiches between that and the magnet that you have on the

24
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,640
attachment magnets to the steel rail. And you now have an attachment that you can just pick up and

25
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:19,920
move. That's the system that I wanted to emulate. So today what we're filming is I need to make

26
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,000
three more of these. What this is is this is going to be the long side rail of the board game

27
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,120
table on the table. This will sit on a piece of plywood like that. That's how it sits and it'll

28
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,800
be connected to one of these corner blocks. And then we'll have the other side of the table, the

29
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,200
shorter side go across and its armrest is going to overhang and line up with this. So that's how

30
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,200
it's going to be. And that's what we're going to get to by the end of today. But this is where you

31
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,640
rest. This is where you hang out, you chill. If you need any attachments you slide them in. If you

32
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,120
can imagine it this will be the vault plane area where the board game will be set up on you know

33
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,240
your sheet of neoprene or felt. And once you're done playing you can then cover this with leaves

34
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:09,680
and it's just a table. When designing the table I sourced the metal bars first so I knew what slots

35
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:19,440
to cut into the metal. So these are 1 eighth inch thick steel flat bars. Coal rolled a 1018

36
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,920
mild steel. So when designing the table I started with the magnetic rails first because I needed

37
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,040
to know the thickness of material and the width in order to cut the slots that these are going to

38
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,480
fit into. So you see how that fits beautifully in there once I line it up. They have an tendency

39
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,200
to rust. This is how they came from the factory once I used acetone to remove all the anti rust

40
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,920
shmoo. I then proceeded to decide how I'm going to protect this from rust in the future. My first

41
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:58,240
attempt was to use enamel paint and I made a mess of it. I flipped it over too soon and got it stuck

42
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:05,040
to newspaper. I sprayed it in not a very dust free environment so there's like you get a nice

43
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,600
close-in shot of that. There's all these like specky areas where all dust got to. And then the

44
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:18,640
first time I tried to put a magnet thing onto it it scratched. So I was like that's a bad idea.

45
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,880
Like look at all that. Look at all those scratches. Now those scratches are where the rust is going

46
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,840
to be. Later today and off-camera I'm going to be grinding this down and getting rid of the paint

47
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,080
because the paint sucks. So I had to figure out a different way to do this and the solution to it

48
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:43,520
is the stuff called super blue. It's not a fun chemical. It's got a whole bunch of acid in it

49
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,760
but it'll basically etch the metal and turn it like this bluey black and that will prevent rust.

50
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,200
I left all the screws that I need to screw this in place at home. So what I'd end up doing right

51
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,640
now is taking one of these rails. You see how I've cut a slot in the wood? So what you do is

52
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:09,200
this is designed to exactly fit that. A cool story is that the reason why I chose one eighth

53
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,440
of an inch wide is that that's the exact width of my table saw blade. So I used my table saw to

54
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:24,960
cut those grooves. So that's why I chose one eighth inch. Plus my local metal store could

55
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:32,880
actually source it. Like they had like flat bar like as a as a standard stocked item. You see how

56
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,640
these flat bars actually sit proud of the thing? Proud means they're just like beyond the flat

57
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:46,800
surface. That's because I've cut the exact groove pattern on the armrest. The reason for that is

58
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,160
I don't actually need to glue the metal to the wood because it's going to be held in place

59
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,280
on two sides by the slots. So all we have to do now, and again this is what we'll do tomorrow,

60
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:01,840
I'll actually run a bead of glue in the middle and I'll place this and then I'll screw it from the

61
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:06,720
bottom. But we're not going to do that now because I've got the screws. You will notice that this

62
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:13,920
wood is longer than this. That is because it'll become abundantly clear why that is once I

63
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:20,960
complete the full square. Because these actually sit like this and I have to cut them to size once

64
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,880
I've done assembling the table. And once I've cut them to size, I will chamfer the edge and then

65
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,400
have this 60 degree angle come across the side as well. Yeah what I'm looking for is more than

66
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:41,040
four inches on either side because this is exactly four inches-ish. Four in a bit. So I'm looking for

67
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:47,440
more than four in a bit over there and I have it. Like once this is glued together it'll look like

68
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,040
that. Obviously there's some work to do on the sides once we match it up. But that's how I would

69
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:59,840
build this rail armrest combo. I've got to do that two more times with these two and I still have to

70
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:07,360
do some more bluing of the short rails for the short side. And then what I'm going to have to do

71
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:16,480
is figure out how to grind off this enamel paint and then glue this one to go on this long rail over

72
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,920
here. But what I can do is build the table as a square because I actually need to get the inside

73
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,760
dimension so I know what to cut my plywood to. Because even though I have a model I theoretically

74
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,840
know what the measurement is. When you build a physical piece it does not necessarily always

75
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,120
match the model 100% so I just need to take some real world measurements to make sure that everything

76
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:43,520
is good. And that way I can buy the plywood tomorrow and load it up into our Avid CNC router over there.

77
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,360
So you know how IKEA has those like things you screw into the wall

78
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,560
into one side and then you have this stupid like cam nut thing. Yeah I don't like that.

79
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,720
So what I got was a very similar threaded insert but then it's called the quick connect. So once

80
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:09,600
you insert this or you screw this into your face you can screw this little bar in there. Then this

81
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,840
thing goes into the other piece and you slide that into there like that and then there's a little

82
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:25,280
threaded insert that goes into this and then you use mr. hex key and tighten it down and now it's

83
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,960
tight. This is the first time I'm actually putting the board game together entirely. So this might

84
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:38,560
this might go badly. Problem is I'm at a stage now where if I mess anything up it's like a lot of

85
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:46,960
work to fix it. Funny story probably the only Floatplane is going to hear this story. Board game

86
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,720
dimensions the board game table dimensions have changed every single time I've made a mistake.

87
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,880
So the height of the board game table used to be four and a half inches. It is now

88
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,840
four point one five inches because I when I did my final like rip cut on the table saw

89
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:10,800
I accidentally put four and a quarter instead of four and a half. So on one piece but I'm like I

90
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,040
either remake that one piece or I cut everything shorter while it was just way less time to cut

91
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,880
everything to the same like shorter dimension. So that's where we lost a quarter of an inch.

92
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Then I missed dimension the rail height because it's supposed to be compatible with

93
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:31,040
wormwood accessories. So I lost a tenth of an inch there and yeah there's various other areas where

94
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,880
like I've lost a quarter of an inch there and a quarter of an inch there which is why I'm building

95
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,560
it so I can measure the final dimension so I can actually know what size to cut the plywood.

96
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:46,560
But someone once told me or I was watching some sort of woodworking like YouTube channel

97
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:50,960
because I watch a lot of you know YouTube channels to teach me how to do stuff I don't know how to

98
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,960
do. And one of them said a great woodworker is not someone who who who is perfect but a great

99
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,600
woodworker is someone who knows how to cover up their mistakes very well. And let me tell you

100
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,800
that there is a there was a bunch of mistakes inside here. Oh like for example I accidentally

101
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,480
drilled an extra hole right but guess what when you buck this up against the rail it hides it.

102
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,160
So I'm like I don't need to remake that. I just and there the same thing I drilled an extra hole.

103
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,400
Whoops but guess what when you when you assemble the table you don't see it well if you don't see

104
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,880
it well technically it's just not there you know that's how it works right. So another thing that

105
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,400
I think gets a lot of bad rap in the world right now is dowels. Dowels are actually strongest flip

106
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,960
when you put them into like strong wood right. The problem is with like Ikea furniture it's

107
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,040
usually put into like chipboard or like particle board they end up using for their furniture

108
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,880
which is fine. It's usually the actual like particle board that fails and not the dowel so like

109
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,080
when an Ikea furniture fails you usually are able to recover the dowel while the actual you

110
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:59,520
know headboard of your table is like completely smashed you know. So I have this dowel jig that

111
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:05,600
allows me to align stuff very well so if I was building a very like a large flat panel where I

112
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,880
have to glue a whole bunch of these edge to edge I use dowels to help center it and it also makes

113
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:17,200
it a lot stronger. I mean using dowels into a hard wood like walnut really freaking strong

114
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,040
actually. I'm not actually going to glue it in they're just like they just they just go in the

115
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:27,760
hole and it helps align everything. With the magic of editing we now have all of the steel

116
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:34,640
hardware into the corner blocks and now all we have to do dowels. If any of you have done wood

117
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:40,640
working before what I could have done is something called a mortise and tenon. It's a fancy way of

118
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:48,000
saying like a dowel just made out of the actual material so you would basically make this wider

119
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,880
than it needed to be and then machine that machine it down until there's like a like a little hole

120
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,240
or like a little protrusion and that's your tenon and then you'd make a hole of the exact same shape

121
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,280
for it to slot in. I'm lazy. I'm not lazy I'm just I didn't really feel like doing that actually.

122
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:09,120
So I actually was supposed to be before tinning it was supposed to be an Intel upgrade. The issue

123
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,720
was February 2021 was the February before we launched the screwdriver so I was rarely flipping

124
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:21,680
busy and of course for my Intel upgrade I chose the most complicated thing to do which is build my

125
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:27,280
own board game table considering I didn't have any woodworking equipment at the time. My garage

126
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,720
was a mess and I had to like re-concrete the floor and everything plus my wife was pregnant with our

127
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:39,360
second child and we were trying to launch screwdriver and February of 2021 heard that our previous

128
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,640
ratchet manufacturer was no longer responding to us and we had to like switch to our current

129
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,480
ratchet manufacturer. The long story short is I didn't really have any time or like not necessarily

130
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:57,040
time but any like energy left over to work on my board game table. It's taken a really freaking

131
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,400
long time. Now I get to explain the hardware all right. So on the side you will see three holes

132
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,480
on every single rail. This this middle hole over here is just oversized for that hole there and

133
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,760
then the two other ones are for the dowels. So when I slide this in

134
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:20,240
and then when you see it inside what you want to do is you want to get a nice close up shot of

135
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,480
that hard way in that hole. That hole is exactly where this piece goes down. You can see how as

136
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,520
we screw it in this goes further and further into the hole and as we screw out it opens up.

137
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,760
That matches with the angle of this and as you screw it in you're hoping to hit this face and

138
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:43,280
pull it closer in. So what I do is I drop this down the hole that it's in the hole there with

139
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:49,440
the um flat end lined up with the hole. So when I shove this in you'll see it move a little bit.

140
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:59,040
Okay never mind I machined it so well you you don't see it. It's locked in place.

141
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,640
Yeah see that's what happens when you use proper flippin hardware and not like cheap plastic crud.

142
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Come on. Come on. Yeah we go.

143
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:22,960
Okay I have to do that again. Well because look I didn't put the thing in. Oh it was sort of on

144
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,960
purpose so what I want to check is how far that thing sits inside. I wanted to sit further that

145
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,760
way so that the outer side is in the center so that it wants to pull together right.

146
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:40,720
What a good screwdriver. So like look like now you can lift this up and they're attached together.

147
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:49,680
Right now obviously if I had the apron over here it would connect together but

148
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,480
that's how big the plane area is going to be. Man that is decently strong like obviously you

149
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,280
are getting flexed because the wood does flex but I'm looking at the joint and there's like zero

150
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:11,360
movement. I need that hole to line like straight up. I don't want it to be at an angle but I can't

151
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,560
turn it anymore because it's bottomed out on that. So I'm going to do my cheating method.

152
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:23,120
I'll just turn that a bit more and then when we screw that back in see lined up to the top.

153
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,240
I'm really starting to like these quick connect things man. The hole needs to be very

154
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,520
centered within the hole but slightly towards the block side so that when you put the tapered

155
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,520
pin in it pulls towards it like it pulls it towards it. You can see now I can move it out right.

156
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,480
So I'm going to lock it in place so that it doesn't move out. Okay you see how it moves

157
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:53,600
but it's not coming out right. So you see how it's open there. Okay so you see watch you see

158
00:15:53,600 --> 00:16:00,560
the gap. Now I'm going to tighten watch that gap disappear. Oh wow. Right now there's no way to

159
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:07,280
create that gap again. That's the interaction of this angled piece over here. As I tighten this down

160
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,920
this angled piece is pushing down. So don't tighten it all the way until you've got all

161
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:19,840
them in because it lasts too rigid for you to do anything with. What's what's what's what's what's

162
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:28,320
what's stuck. Turns out the hole wasn't big enough deep enough so the that round bit was sitting too

163
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:35,040
high. So in this mess might be the right size for snubbit to nope not that size to make it wider.

164
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:44,000
I need a very specific size for snubbit that obviously is at home because you know I didn't

165
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:53,040
think that I need to have it. I'm I'm stubborn and like this is LTT. So this is this is the part

166
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,360
of the show where I tell you don't do this at home. This is like hey we want to get it done

167
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,320
and I want to kind of see my board game table together. So we're going to do some manual drilling.

168
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:14,000
Oh tell me that's not genius without telling me that's not genius you know. Oh bulls no not another

169
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:21,360
one. I don't want to do any more manual drilling damn you. Oh bulls why is it not going in?

170
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:27,200
Why aren't you not going in? It gets the job done. See without breaking your wood.

171
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,400
All right is it just as easy as go around and tighten everything?

172
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,560
Man this will be so much harder without the LTT screwdriver.

173
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:45,040
Act tight now. Well I'm going to check for square first. Okay one notch above three quarters.

174
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,520
I'm not doing freaking imperial math today. Another way to check square

175
00:17:51,520 --> 00:18:00,400
is get yourself a machinist square. Oh look at that and if you don't see any daylight that's

176
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,800
square. It's like a year and a half worth of work man to have it like all be square now

177
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,560
and to have it like on camera again like during the AMD upgrade because everything's so compressed

178
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:19,440
you won't get to see this stuff right. You won't even get to see all the heartache that I went to

179
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:26,640
to get to this point. To have it go together and actually be square means that when I've milled

180
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,560
the lumber so lumber doesn't come square you have to machine it square so I've machined it

181
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,800
square then I've glued it together then I've had to remachine it square again after the glue.

182
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:43,040
To have it all lined up like this is like it means that I might actually be able to film in

183
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:50,160
January like to be clear it's like December just before New Year's now and we're hoping to film this

184
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,600
in January like after CES and I don't think I have enough time to get to this point again if

185
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,720
something was like catastrophically wrong so it's a good feeling to have everything to go together

186
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,600
it'll start looking more like a board game table as we go along in this thing but what I'm going to do

187
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:13,600
is I'm just going to try and flip it over there's a little bit of an alignment problem over here

188
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:20,560
it fits on here but like it's so slight it's probably like less than a 16th of an inch

189
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:26,640
so it means I need to do is like maybe just remove some material there those mistakes I was talking

190
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:34,240
about I accidentally I had the piece I had the piece like this without the grooves cut into it

191
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,480
so I had two pieces like this and I'm supposed to cut the grooves in while I accidentally put

192
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:45,280
the wrong way around in the table saw and I cut grooves on the wrong side so that's why I don't

193
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:51,200
have this piece and I have to make a new piece I did that a couple days ago and I wasn't very happy

194
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,960
the reason why this it matters is I already cut the direction I already cut this chamfer this is

195
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:02,880
60 degree chamfer to like make it a nice little profile right that looks pretty cool from the side

196
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,520
you know I think we can all agree that that was pretty cool from the side having that chamfer there

197
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:15,520
so I already cut the chamfer and then I ran it the wrong way like this face down on the table

198
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,680
saw so I cut the grooves on the opposite side so that when you assemble the table the chamfer will

199
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:25,280
be facing up instead of down so that was a no go and it was it was sad because it was a very nice

200
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,240
looking piece of wood that I ended up having to use a scrap so this is what it's going to look like

201
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:38,000
just imagine that there's another piece over here and I haven't finished this side

202
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:44,640
so I deliberately left this side oversized so that once I have it all assembled I can mark

203
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:51,120
where I need to cut it to size so I just need to lob it off cut it there and then chamfer the corners

204
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:57,120
such that they're like nice and like like a 45 degree chamfer so they're not very square it

205
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:01,520
basically the chamfer will match the block chamfer over there the legs are going to be

206
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,560
going to be a much harder job day two which is actually a couple days after when we filmed the

207
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,760
last one to catch you up on what happened I was hoping to be a lot further along than I am currently

208
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:18,880
while I was doing some work at home I accidentally broke one of the pieces that were like done done

209
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:26,160
this is actually a new block that I slightly repaired so when I made these blocks I actually

210
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:32,480
cut them from the same piece of material if you zoom in you can see four different types of wood

211
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:38,080
you can't actually go out and feasibly buy three inch thick walnut because it'll have to come from

212
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,840
a three inch thick tree and we've kind of cut down all the big trees so we only have little

213
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:47,520
ones left so to get something thicker the best way is to buy one inch thick material

214
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,960
machine it down till it's flat and then glue it together so if you wanted to make material wider

215
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,880
you would machine that you'd machine the face is flat and you would glue them together right so now

216
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:05,680
that's doubly thick for this I took four pieces of walnut and I glued them together before I started

217
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:12,240
you know cutting these into pieces this was just one long log that was three inches thick

218
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,920
by three inches wide I actually had it long enough to make a fifth block and it's always good to have

219
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:26,160
extras in case you destroy one so yesterday I had a different fourth block and while I was at home

220
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:33,280
yesterday I was trying to machine out a pocket over here for when this is assembled I need to be

221
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:40,640
able to fit the plywood the issue was the jig that I was using to hold this in place while I was

222
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:46,960
using the mitre saw kind of failed and the mitre saw being the powerhouse that it is

223
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,600
literally just ripped the block and kicked it back and it flew and shattered on the wall

224
00:22:54,400 --> 00:23:01,040
thankfully I walked away with no injuries when a machine throws a piece of wood all you can hope

225
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,960
is that your hands are nowhere close to the spinning blade thankfully I had the fifth block

226
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:11,840
but what I'd been using the fifth block for was a example or like a test piece it was kind of like

227
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,560
messed and broken and stuff so what I had to do was kind of had to do a little bit of repair on it

228
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:22,960
so I'd actually taken a table saw and cut a massive groove out of here this entire face is

229
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,280
invisible but it still needs to be solid wood to be able to hold the hardware so what I ended up

230
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:33,520
doing was my table saw blade is exactly one eighth inch wide I just planed down a piece of material

231
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,000
to one eighth of an inch and then glued it back in place and just chiseled it flat I spent the

232
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:44,400
remainder of last night fixing this block and my goal for today was finish putting in the hardware

233
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:51,760
which I've done off camera before Sammy came over and then finished doing all the table like edges

234
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,720
actually gluing in the pieces of metal which is this whole contraption here I finished

235
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:03,360
bluing all the metal off camera it's now all theoretically as rough proof as it's going to get

236
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,760
and now it's just assembling the pieces into their final stage so that I can actually

237
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:16,640
coat them with their final varnish which I just arrived from Amazon yesterday so I'm just going

238
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,960
to go over how these are actually made how I actually use pocket screws which are intended to

239
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,960
create butt joints that's a butt joint where you literally just butt two ends up to each other

240
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,440
what a pocket screw does is you drill out an angle and this screw sits in an angle holding

241
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,720
them together they're usually sold with kits like this it's like a drill guide right so you'd put

242
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,080
the drill guide on the piece of wood like this and it would it would guide the drill at an angle

243
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,360
each one of these holes that you see here I drill them to a very specific depth and I can show you

244
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:55,600
what I mean by it the screws go in that far those were just the hardware that didn't yeah it's okay

245
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,200
I have a strong head in theory that does look like it's a bit tall should be less than the

246
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:08,160
thickness of the material yep it is when this is attached on top here notice that it'll be

247
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,600
screwed in that much so when I add wood glue here and the screws that's enough to bolt the armrest

248
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,960
to the rails as much as I like that like Robertson bits are Canadian sometimes a bit of a pain

249
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:25,440
what I was doing as Sammy just walked in was I'd already run the bead of glue on the rail

250
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,400
fit in the metal accessory guide thingies now I'm just going through each pocket screw and

251
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:35,760
sending one of these home I was just waiting for the glue to dry and then this will be another one

252
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:44,560
of those rails that with the magic of editing that's not the first time I've done that is it

253
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,520
this is what once it's done it's going to end up looking like and then you can tell that I can

254
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:55,760
just hold it like this and just you know give it a shaky shake and it's like rock solid and then

255
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:07,280
I don't know if Sammy's ever felt the weight of this so this is sanded to 220 grit I'm actually

256
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,960
going to just do another hand sand before I do the final finish but the final finish is something

257
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,400
called catalyzed varnish or conversion varnish depending on whatever name you use and I got

258
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,640
semi-gloss so it'll give you a nice little sheen and it'll also make the wood pop a bit I mean

259
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:28,640
you can see the grain pattern and what I've done is I've chosen the outside pieces such that the

260
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:34,960
prettiest side faces outside so when you glue something together the no one sees the inside so

261
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:41,920
I've used lumber that didn't look as cool as this on the inside where no one's going to see it

262
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:47,600
right and then what I try to make sure is the the pretty what I found to be the prettiest patterns

263
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:54,720
are the ones that are on the outside so for example like I like knots so I kept that knot in

264
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,920
personally for me I think this looks very cool it's got a nice like changing pattern between like

265
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,400
like this looks like a little bit of sapwood in here the lighter color and then the the

266
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,360
hot wood on the outside on the inside another really cool pattern as well at least what I

267
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:13,760
consider a good pattern like you can notice that the color is like very different so this is what

268
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:19,280
we call sapwood it's for walnut it's the lighter color I put all the ugly sides on the inside

269
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,760
um you can see there was a very gnarly knot that I don't think looks that cool as the other knots

270
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:29,200
that are left in place um any defects in the wood that it didn't make any like functional or strength

271
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,640
problems but it was something that you probably didn't want to see that's kind of where we are

272
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,360
right now and that's kind of the decisions I made how long is it taking like turns like man hour

273
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:41,360
it depends if you're just referring to the board game table itself between

274
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:50,240
designing planning thinking um actually like woodworking fixing woodworking mistakes probably

275
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,440
like two three hundred hours probably yeah it's been it's been a lot I mean that's that's the

276
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:00,880
upgrade as a whole but it's been fun like I like I like making things and honestly making my own

277
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,040
board game with my board gaming table with my own features is kind of what I was going for

278
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,400
day three of filming this board game building thing to catch myself up on where we were because

279
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,800
for float playing it's like two seconds for me it's been like four days time we had finished all

280
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:22,880
these uh aprons by screwing the rails to the armrests using pocket screws what we have to do now

281
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:28,640
is machine the plywood that's going to go between here you probably want to come around here

282
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:34,640
just to remind the folks where it is so there is a gap between this and there where the plywood's

283
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,960
going to sit on the inside of the table to form the plain surface well earlier today we went and

284
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,720
picked up a very thick sheet of plywood this is one inch thick it's surrounded by protective

285
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:53,600
thin sheets of wood it's raining cats and dogs in Vancouver so we had to protect it with shrink

286
00:28:53,600 --> 00:29:00,320
wrap and some throwaway piece of protective whatever the veneer wood that is but this here

287
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:08,480
is 24 millimeter thick four by eight inch sheet of maple plywood that we're going to use as the

288
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,480
plain surface as well as the area where the legs bolt to because it's a trestle table the legs are

289
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:20,160
sunken into the table and they're aren't they're not on the corners so this both has to support the

290
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:26,080
rail on the outside edge as well as the legs that are going to go on the inside so what we're doing

291
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:36,560
today with the help of Sebastian who's setting up the Avid CNC we are going to machine this to size

292
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:43,440
right now it's four by eight what it really needs to be is about just less than four feet by about

293
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:50,480
six feet that's kind of the end dimension we're going the exact dimension I think is 47 and three

294
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:57,040
quarters and then six feet and three quarters of an inch and the easiest way to make it square is on

295
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,880
the CNC because the machine is set up square so we're just going to run a we're going to run a

296
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,480
router bit and just cut it out rather than trying to saw this with a table saw or something it's just

297
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:12,720
way easier to handle on the on the Avid before that though if you guys remember these are the

298
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:18,720
corner blocks that go on the end of the tables so this goes at the end of the table and helps

299
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:24,160
bolt the table together right because I designed this to come apart so it's easy to move is we

300
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:33,280
need to remove a 45 degree chamfer little piece of wood from all the end all these end blocks

301
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:40,400
so that the plywood can sit at a 45 over here and be recessed into the table I tried to do it with a

302
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:46,880
hand saw but I got I got bored and I was lazy and I was like I'm going to get a machine to do this

303
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:54,960
I could go and manually chisel out that entire block of wood four times or I could program a robot

304
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,920
to do it for me I want to be efficient some people may call it laziness I call it efficiency

305
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,640
if you don't hold the piece down it's going to move and that's really bad you want it to hold

306
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:12,480
still right there's a couple ways you can do that some some cncs have vacuum tables uh some

307
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:18,720
have like holes where you can camp stuff down so what we could do is we could put it over here

308
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:24,480
line it up with what we know is square camp it down and then machine another easy way to do it

309
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:33,440
is actually machine out a pocket in a piece of scrap material so this is scrap mdf and what we're

310
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:39,040
going to do is we're going to machine out a pocket that this is going to exactly fit it so what that

311
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:44,080
guarantees is when you machine that pocket out it's automatically square because the machine

312
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:49,600
machined it out yeah so when you pop this in it automatically lines this up with the x and y axis

313
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,920
so we don't have to worry about trying to align this in such a way that it's square to the table

314
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,240
we just machine something that's square from the start and just pop it in and then once it's in

315
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:05,200
place we just make a very simple program that traces this outline and then just goes deeper

316
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,960
so it takes like one millimeter or two millimeters off at a time whatever we feel is safe

317
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,680
and just keeps going down and down and down until it reaches the bottom

318
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,360
then it will move in and remove the rest of the material and once all the material is removed

319
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,080
any any places where it's kind of messed up or there's anything wrong we'll just take the chisel

320
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:28,800
and just clean it out and then we'll have nice chamfered blocks that we can use in our table

321
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,880
it's a decent amount undersized I will chisel this out time to get the plywood out

322
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,720
it's unfinished plywood so you run your fingers on it you get splinters

323
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,720
oh geez this is a big ass sheet of freaking plywood when you come back this is probably

324
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,720
going to be cut to size using pretty much the same method that we use for those blocks

325
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,960
we're just going to program in the dimensions that we need the rider's going to cut it out for us

326
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,680
we're just going to be able to drop it in the table we're also going to be machining holes out for

327
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,960
screws they're just going to help us align where the screws need to go as well as tapping a starting

328
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,320
hole for us and then we're just going to use pocket screws to bolt it to the table so when

329
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:14,400
everyone's back from CES I'll get social in here to film me building the table as a whole unit with

330
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,200
the legs standing up in the workshop and then I can go over and explain how I made each piece

331
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:26,320
we'll see everyone after CES bye all right this is day four we're at the stage now where there's

332
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:34,240
two ways I could go with building the last portion of the table that's actually still in raw form

333
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:39,360
and that's the table legs if we look back at the SOLIDWORKS model this is a trestle table trestle table

334
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:44,400
means that the legs are recessed within the table and they're not at the four corners legs at the

335
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,160
four corners would be a lot easier and I don't know if I explained this last time but again

336
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,480
Sam we're gonna we're gonna move around the shop a lot yeah these would go at the four corners of

337
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:58,640
the table and then they would have legs and those legs would sit on the floor and everything would

338
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,400
be good but here at Linus Media Group we don't do simplicity we'd make everything hard on ourselves

339
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:10,560
so I made a trestle table and that means that none of that matters and we have to make like strong

340
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,320
legs that go in the middle so this is the surface where you're actually going to play the board games

341
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:21,200
right and to cover this I'm actually using a very similar material to the LTT mouse pad it's nylon

342
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,880
covered neoprene and I chose a burgundy color because it's going to match the walnut very nicely

343
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:33,680
and this goes underneath the rails but this is this is also where the legs attach to on the other

344
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:38,400
side so if this is your play surface if you flip it over which is going to be a lot easier if

345
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:45,520
Sam he just comes around this surface where I've done all these like construction marks is where

346
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:51,040
the table legs are going to go they're actually going to sit on the center line in the middle

347
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:57,120
roughly about 13 inches from the top of the side and from the bottom part and they're going to sit

348
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,120
upright and they're going to support this which in turn supports the rails which in turn supports

349
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:08,080
the board game and in theory it's fine in practice we'll test it and if it fails that'll be a fun

350
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:14,480
video but we're hoping for not fails because this is one inch thick this is the table leg that the

351
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:20,640
table is going to rest on or at least the outside pattern of it I took the outline from SolidWorks

352
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,520
and then I used the laser cutter which is right behind Sammy here to laser cut the file out of

353
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:33,840
half inch plywood to use as a rough template right what this helped me do was glue together

354
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,960
various pieces of wood right because you're going to look at this right there's a couple

355
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,000
ways you could do something like this you could either have a big piece of walnut that goes the

356
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,000
entire square of this and then you would hog out all the material right that's a lot of wasted

357
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:56,960
material from this section so what I ended up doing was saying okay well what happened if I

358
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:02,560
had like a straight piece of wood that came like this and I cut it at an angle another straight

359
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:07,760
piece out here a piece across there and a piece down here and a piece down there right so I did

360
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:15,520
that and that's that right so you can see one piece of walnut over there so I used four planks

361
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:22,720
five I can count these planks are very easy to get um you just they're very easy to make should

362
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:28,720
I say this was actually like two or three pieces of walnut that I just cut to different widths

363
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:34,640
and then chopped to different lengths and then you can thickness plane them to this the same width

364
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:40,960
so that's the approach that I chose to get this however there is a problem let's just say I put

365
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:48,240
a 170 pound table on top of this and I add two computers on top of these legs there is a lot of

366
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:54,640
force that's pushing outwards as well as down down is not so much of a problem because of the

367
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:01,440
geometry it'll actually like support itself I'm more worried about that force the outside force

368
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:11,440
because if with enough force you could actually like tear this joint um and like chip wood out

369
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:17,680
right and that's bad so I came up with another plan the legs are going to be way thicker than

370
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:23,440
this actually the legs are going to be four times this thickness right what that means is I glue four

371
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:31,840
of these together face to face right because I'm doing that I have potentially four different

372
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:37,280
patterns that I can put the wood in that can support the glue joints I ended up settling with two

373
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:44,800
this pattern and this other pattern right so right now the potential weakness of this design

374
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:51,760
is these two glue joints all I need to do is make sure that I have a solid piece of wood

375
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:57,680
supporting these two glue joints and have the glue joints of that piece of wood somewhere else

376
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:02,720
that are supported by a solid piece of something else on this design and they'll support each

377
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:10,000
other when you glue them together in other words take the tie fighter design what this will do

378
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:18,800
is this long piece of wood over here when you overlay it overlaps both glue joints this one

379
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:27,760
and this one okay and its glue joint this one and this one is supported by this plank and this

380
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,520
plank when you glue them together like this their weak points will be supported by solid pieces

381
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,960
of the other design in practice I messed up I measured everything in my garage

382
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:48,080
which is not here and I used this template to make sure that when I glued the wood together

383
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:56,800
it matched but the problem was the way I chose to glue this together was a tongue and groove method

384
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:02,720
where this one I glued together with dowels and we talked a lot about how I love dowels but I needed

385
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:07,760
efficiency and speed so I chose tongue and groove this is why you use dowels and not tongue and

386
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:13,680
groove this is a tongue that's called the groove so that supports it in the up and down direction

387
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,160
okay and then the glue just stops it from sliding around so I did all my measurements

388
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:23,520
before I cut the tongue and groove then I cut the tongue and groove not remembering that when you

389
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:29,440
cut a tongue and groove it actually changes the outside dimension of the actual piece so

390
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:37,200
you see this piece this piece was designed to go from here to there right but you see how this

391
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:43,760
side is recessed into the previous board I designed it to butt up against this board not recessed

392
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:49,920
into it so what ended up happening when you glue it together you end up with a very large portion

393
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:56,240
so this this here is supposed to be up there okay because they're meant to overlap 100% okay

394
00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:01,280
and it doesn't so what we're actually going to do is once we've built the entire leg there'll be a

395
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:06,640
big gap in the middle and I'll just make uh filler pieces of wood to glue in there later

396
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:12,240
they're not they're not hugely structural pieces and even when you do enough glue in there it'll

397
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:18,800
it'll be more than strong enough but that was a bit of a I wish I caught it on camera when I was

398
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:25,200
building this and I I realized that I'd messed up and I was like dang I said a couple bad words

399
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,040
that was a lot of explanation but we haven't addressed the elephant in the room this is

400
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:37,440
what I want okay this is the shape of the leg that I want except three inches thick okay

401
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:46,800
this is what I have right now they're not the same a couple of options to make this look like this

402
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:55,120
right if you've done any sort of woodworking you might know of one method and that's called

403
00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:01,360
flush trimming this is a flush trim bit it has a bearing this one is a straight cutter it's got

404
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:07,680
two cutting surfaces there and there and it's got a half inch shank which is that thing what this

405
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:14,800
does and what it's designed to do is this bearing is designed to be the exact distance to the outer

406
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:22,240
knife okay so in other words the bearing is flush to the knife surface and why that's important

407
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:27,600
is if you have something like this which is a template and you have something like this

408
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,600
which is your piece of wood what you would do is you would stick this into something like a

409
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,760
router except a bigger router than this this is a trim router so it has a smaller shank size

410
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:43,680
they don't fit the bearing would ride along the template while the cutter spins and removes the

411
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:50,480
wood away does that kind of make sense do you kind of see that it's called flush trimming because

412
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:57,280
you will trim the wood flush to the template i can tell you from experience that um walnut

413
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:02,480
does not like straight cutters it likes spiral cutters if you use a straight cutter you tend to

414
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:09,600
like blow chunks out of the walnut and you can't just like hog out all this excess material if

415
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,920
you look how much material needs to be removed like that's a good three quarters of an inch there

416
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,960
you can't just like you can't just go like full line this and send it because if you do

417
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,560
you'll find that your work piece ends up in nine year over there as it kicks back

418
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,840
and then you'll have a massive chunk of walnut missing you rarely want to take very fine passes

419
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:35,440
with a flush trim bit so what you really need to do is get like a jigsaw or a bandsaw and then

420
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:41,680
like manually hog out a lot of this material beforehand and then just come up with the flush

421
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:48,080
trim bit and clean up the surfaces that is a lot of flip and work and sometimes i don't know whether

422
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:53,520
i'm lazy or try to do efficiency but that was too much work for me i tried it once and i was like

423
00:42:53,520 --> 00:43:01,360
nah if i've got to do this eight times because each each leg is made up of four of these when

424
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:06,320
when you don't want to do something by yourself you get a robot to do it because a robot don't

425
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:12,240
complain and it does things very repeatedly and so instead of flush trimming i'm just machining

426
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:23,440
so ai huh ai no this has been around since like freaking 1950s i mean but ai sure if it makes the

427
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:29,360
gen z people happy because that's the buzzword going right now you say ai but like cnc's are

428
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:34,960
technically very dumb machines you tell them where to go and they just go okay so like ai

429
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:44,640
i screwed down a three-quarter inch mdf plate onto the bed and then i already coded in

430
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:52,080
like a template for the leg don't learn any drill skills from me please

431
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:01,680
that's an impact driver all i got to hope is that two screws are enough to hold it down which

432
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:10,560
yeah it should be fine i mean famous last words right should be fine everything's zeroed everything's

433
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:16,400
ready everything's loaded i'm going to hit cycle start um which is going to start it and i'm going

434
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:29,840
to turn on the fan louder than i thought it would be um so i did pause the cycle so what i was doing

435
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,400
the whole way through that was making sure that as the tool was part passing through the wood

436
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:41,600
it wasn't like missing anything so if it it kind of machined out here and it didn't hit the wood

437
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:47,760
then i know it wasn't machining right you can see how like everywhere there's an outline um and if

438
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,480
you were to look from this side but um there's actually a step in the wood so it machined the

439
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,760
wood even though you don't see pieces of the wood sticking out it did machine the wood um and that's

440
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:03,920
good that's what we want the cutter actually like blew out this side but it had enough wood to machine

441
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:10,240
on the inside so i'm not too worried so now that i know exactly where the cutter is going it makes it

442
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:15,280
a lot easier for me to put down some extra safety screws because i know if i put a screw here i don't

443
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,800
have to worry about the cutter hitting it so we're going to drill a hole

444
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:30,720
oh well start a bit of a fire there i just popped in three more screws in a safe location so now

445
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:35,600
we're going to restart the whole machining right after three rounds okay now it's finally done it's

446
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:41,200
not going to move it's still not moving because of the tabs that we put in there so remember i only

447
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:49,840
had these two screws well guess what if i remove the screw yeah this is holding nothing okay which

448
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:55,680
means if i hadn't put those screws in this wouldn't have been supported okay and those extra screws

449
00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:00,560
were right below the tabs and let me show you what those tabs look like and why they're so important

450
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:09,040
yep that's what held it in place oh balls that's what happens when um you break the tab off instead of

451
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:17,600
cutting it off we have we have i have wood glue use wood glue like finger paint jaws also make

452
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:23,280
like the world's best glue dispensers you know um yeah there you go build a cutting board as your

453
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:28,880
second project give it about half an hour that will dry it'll be fine recall the 20 minute long

454
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,360
conversation which will probably be edited down of the inside versus the outside of the line

455
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,320
here's a very good demonstration of it do you see how there's a section that's raised in a section

456
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:43,680
that's sunk down like like this little thing over here so what happened was when i set the depth

457
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:51,920
that i was supposed to cut i set it too much um so when it cut through the wood it cut down into

458
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:58,960
the the piece of wood that i was resting on you will notice that the outside of this entire thing

459
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:05,840
is exactly one cutter width so that's basically following the outside of the line uh whereas in

460
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:12,800
the inside profile was falling the inside of the line so the outside edge of the bottom portion

461
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:19,040
that's the actual vector this is the outside and then this is the inside so that's that's really

462
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:24,560
kind of what that inside versus outside does it just kind of um takes care of the actual

463
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:30,720
width of the cutter the goal um for the remainder of my day which is basically just like 20 minutes

464
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:39,600
of work the next step will be to glue these on top of this this is now the exact outline of my leg

465
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:46,080
and this is exactly what i want i just need four more of these glued on top instead of taking this

466
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:53,200
and then cutting it to look like this and then trying to line it up it's way easier to take this

467
00:47:54,160 --> 00:48:02,640
smear a whole bunch of glue pop this on clamp it down put this piece into the template that i have

468
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:08,720
on the router that little routed out bit because that centers this and zeroes it properly and then

469
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:15,760
i just rinse and repeat until i have a four thick and then then the leg is done basically from a

470
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,720
bolt point of view and all i need to do is just do some sanding then some um some spray varnish

471
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:30,000
now i will show you how i've used almost an entire tub of tight bond three pva glue

472
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,280
like this is this is this is this is a big tub it's a little bit unwieldy you might not want to

473
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:41,680
use it in every single situation well you decant it into a smaller tub so now it just has like a

474
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:47,680
nice little squirting nib right so you can just like send it this would have fit perfectly if i'd

475
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:54,080
remember to do that uh you'll also notice that i cut this plank a little bit too short and there

476
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:58,080
is a little piece sticking out in there which i'm going to need to fix later oh and on this side as

477
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:02,560
well i have a little piece that's a double fixer opera this is why you always measure twice cut

478
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:09,280
once type thing uh what happened here is i misread my writing because my writing is not the greatest

479
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:16,720
i wrote 23 but i read it as 22 um so this is these are an inch too short but that's a different

480
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:22,160
problem it's easy to hide i think it'll be fine so i'm just planning this out before i actually

481
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,320
glue it in place what what i'm actually trying to do let me just explain what i'm trying to do

482
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:34,160
is i'm trying to make sure as much as possible that these two pieces are in the middle of this

483
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:41,200
plank as much as possible that way i don't have to worry about fixing this gap that i cut i really

484
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:47,760
don't like tongue and groove but here we are in hindsight um i don't know why i made this a different

485
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:56,640
angle to the other piece leg but that was past carl's mistake and future carl is

486
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:06,480
kind of figuring out right now um there's two different angles so this is actually a taper

487
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:12,080
i think this is 60 degrees from the horizontal but this is like 40 something there are different

488
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:16,720
angles that's what i'm trying to say past carl did not make very good decisions when it came

489
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:21,520
came to how i angle these boards and it's making my current life a little bit of a nightmare

490
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:30,880
i think that's the best we can do sometimes you just got to say effort and it's kind of

491
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:37,520
the best you can the best you can get away with i'm just marking kind of where i've decided it's

492
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:42,320
going to be you theoretically never have enough glue you'd rather have more glue than not enough

493
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:49,840
glue um that's at least my philosophy i just use a finger spread method um uh i usually have like

494
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,000
a little roller or something and again like i said i couldn't find it so fingers it is

495
00:50:54,640 --> 00:51:02,960
it's fine everything's fine let's care i feel like it's fine is going to be a very

496
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:09,840
recurring theme in the actual filming of the upgrade oh man it's already starting to dry

497
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:16,160
so what i'll do is i'll clamp this down um and make sure it like sits there for about half an hour

498
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:23,520
um or maybe an hour before i go home i'm putting way less clamping pressure than i normally would

499
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,880
once you have enough clamping pressure where like it's not moving as you're tightening down

500
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:33,920
that's kind of where you want to be and then you just want to like really send it now if you if you

501
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:38,960
pan down and you start looking at the joint you can see as i apply more pressure you'll start

502
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:45,280
seeing glue come squeezing out um obviously when i built this they're not perfectly planar you could

503
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,120
force wood to do things that you shouldn't really be able to so watch as it like as i tighten down

504
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:54,640
it's going to squeeze more glue out probably something i say in the uh the video itself but

505
00:51:54,640 --> 00:52:00,960
the idea for this board game table came from two sources one was um a company called uh

506
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:06,240
Wormwood who released a big Kickstarter for a board gaming table that's what this is based off of

507
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:13,360
i like their rail system and i plan to order some of their accessories so i based my table

508
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:18,560
in a way that would accept their accessories however i didn't want to do their leg design

509
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:27,280
i wanted to do a tristle table well i found this guy um from alberta who built a table very similar

510
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:33,680
to what i wanted to do it's just i didn't like the top i liked his legs and the way he did um

511
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:38,800
the way he made the bottom of the table i just had i i wanted to do something different on the top

512
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:44,960
of the table so um i amalgamated the two the two designs i like to leave it longer than

513
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:51,280
necessary you could probably use this within like a couple hours i tend to like glue and then

514
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:57,200
just use it overnight uh like leave it overnight to dry um that's why i'm doing the glue now at

515
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:03,040
like 4 30 so that you know we'll go home for the day come back tomorrow this will be dry this will

516
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:08,880
probably be dry enough within like an hour that i can take all of these off add more glue put this

517
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:14,320
on top clamp all of it down and then leave for the night so that when we come back tomorrow

518
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:22,720
it'll be three thick we'll machine it on the avid and then we will try and place the last piece

519
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:28,480
after we've machined that and then we will machine the last piece and we'll have a completed leg

520
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:34,640
i think it's day seven or day eight probably day seven today what i wanted to film was actually

521
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:40,400
building the table surface i don't know if we've fully got this on camera yet i know that we filmed

522
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:50,240
some of building this but right behind arty is the actual big um plywood sheet that we machined out

523
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:53,760
it now has a bunch more holes in it that i've probably drilled off camera

524
00:53:54,960 --> 00:54:00,640
big holes so that i can access some of the mounting hardware underneath and little holes

525
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:08,960
which take pocket screws that actually like get sunk into the rails to hold them to the actual

526
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:16,320
plywood sheet what we're going to do now is when i originally built this over there it was very square

527
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:22,000
when i rebuilt it yesterday off camera it wasn't square and i don't know why so we're

528
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:28,080
going to figure that out and once we figure that out and it's square we're going to lift up this

529
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:36,720
sheet put it on top and then we can actually do what i want to do today which is cut these ends

530
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:42,240
right now they're a little bit too long they need to be they need to be trimmed to size

531
00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:49,200
but they need to be trimmed to size in line with uh the edge of this rail once we have it all square

532
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:55,360
and it's all neat we're going to use looks pretty gnarly um but this is a compression bit

533
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:01,120
but specifically a flash trim compression but you probably zoom in here uh when i originally

534
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:07,360
got it square i'd labeled every single side so i'd labeled the four corners one two three four

535
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,600
and i'd labeled the blocks the corner blocks correspondingly so this is one someone is

536
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:17,600
there's two and three and four so that i know what the configuration was when i originally

537
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:23,760
got it square and now all we need to do is make sure that we can repeat that and get it square

538
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,080
so that we can mount it to that so i can flush trim okay yep okay

539
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:40,560
i mean i am going to have a very nice um nylon coated neoprene that's burgundy color

540
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,160
because i think burgundy goes pretty well with walnut and you see how i have a little gap in

541
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:50,320
between here that's what it's going to slot underneath this little gap here nice it's called

542
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,800
the wrap it's called a rabbit and if you look underneath the table that's the legs that Kyle

543
00:55:54,800 --> 00:56:02,560
spent all his time on okay there are just soul horses right now the legs that the actual legs

544
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:07,360
are at my house all righty i'm just going to put a couple more screws in around here and then

545
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:16,960
i'll do what we actually came here to do which is attach a very dangerous looking bit to the table

546
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:22,320
the goal is to like cut it straight yeah but we need some sort of template to guide it right

547
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,280
and because we can't go from underneath it's going to have to be from top and because it's

548
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:32,160
from the top it's going to have to be the follow the pattern side of this which means it is going

549
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:38,240
to be plunged deeper than i would like but we need to strap something to this that that can rest on

550
00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:44,480
this is the benefit of owning a 3d printer i 3d print a lot of my jigs so once we flush trim this

551
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:49,040
i can stick this on the corner and then we'll just use that to nip the tips and then that's

552
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:55,120
basically the the outer shape right obviously i still have to make this this undercut around the

553
00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:02,000
whole thing but the current goal right now is line up a template flush trim flush trim flush

554
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:07,600
flush trim all the corners once they're flush trimmed stick this on jigsaw it off flush trim it

555
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:15,840
again so that it's now rounded over okay it says 1.25 that's wrong it's 1.5 but if you made a bigger

556
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:21,760
template yeah you could do that in one step like if it lines up onto this side and here

557
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:30,160
then you have one template to do the so jigsaw and then flush trim it in one go

558
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,760
and then all four corners are the same because your reference off here and here

559
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:41,120
please not wrong but it's just more work the reason we're jigsawing this first is because

560
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:45,280
you don't want to just come in there with that flush trim bit and just send it you only want

561
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:51,680
to flush trim like less than a 16th or an eighth of an inch so that's kind of why i'm doing it this

562
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:58,560
way it's fine everything's fine it's fine okay so while you're busy remembering i'm gonna go and

563
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:05,600
then i'm going to like nip the tips of all my the rest of the table this is always the scary

564
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:13,520
part just came into my desk $2,000 walnut dust so all i did there was remove enough wood so that

565
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:19,280
when we do come with the rado it's not trying to remove like that much material that's too much

566
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:26,240
material for rada to try and remove in one pass um and now i get to do it again on this side

567
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:32,240
yeah i'm having someone who knows who's used that one thing before so what he's actually what we

568
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:39,120
actually going to do is just like bolt in aprons on the side here to act as like guides to allow us

569
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:46,800
to sit flush to explain what just happened this is now from a top down point the out the outline

570
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:52,240
of my table this is not the outline of the table from the side point i actually have to match the

571
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:59,040
60 degree chamfer all the way around okay it's very hard to do now that i've actually bolted

572
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:04,160
into the frame so what i might do is i might try and do it with a sander or something but if you

573
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:11,040
come on this side i have these two little gaps these two little gaps are actually um uh a byproduct

574
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:16,560
of when i table saw these gaps in here to hold this metal piece in place which is going to form my

575
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:25,040
magnetic attachment mechanism so i'm going to make a piece that plugs in here and glue it in

576
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:31,040
place and then make a 60 and you'll never see it again but right now it's there but it will look

577
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:35,360
better but in terms of the outline of the table this is pretty much how it's going to look so it

578
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:40,320
looks pretty sweet it is one week before filming so next week thursday we're actually going to film

579
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:46,960
the LTT there is the table as it stands right now the semi pans over i don't know where we ended

580
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:53,840
off last time a lot of stuff has been happening i literally lost a week due to sickness but we're

581
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:08,320
ones over there i don't know where the other one is it somewhere but that's what we're going to be

582
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:15,600
doing today is changing out the saw horses for proper legs which is easier than it sounds and

583
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:23,040
theoretically shouldn't be too much work but i said that last time i tried to do something simple

584
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:30,080
and it ended up taking way longer but the cool a cool thing that i can show people so these arrived

585
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:37,600
last week and these are accessories from wormwood the company i was telling you about earlier on

586
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:46,480
the video as the inspiration for the top half of the table i got cup holders in different kind of

587
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:53,600
woods so usually four of us end up playing a board game at a time so me and my wife and then

588
01:00:54,240 --> 01:01:01,440
my friend and his wife um so i thought it'd be a great idea for each of us to have our own colored

589
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:12,080
cup holder so this is purple hot um you can you can it's it's so named because it's purple

590
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:21,200
right i want to say cherry am i right pretty thick ring magnets and this will just slide on

591
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:28,400
like that they're designed to sit just like a little bit below so if you if you come down

592
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:35,600
the magnet is to hold it that way right um you theoretically don't need the magnet

593
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:42,720
because a lot of the holding force is coming from just being jammed against this piece and

594
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:48,240
this bottom piece right so that's how it rests there the the magnet is just to make sure that it

595
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:55,200
like doesn't move back and forth and everything like that right but that test that it slides in

596
01:01:55,200 --> 01:02:02,560
and sits nice was the exact test that i needed to ensure that i got the height of this correct

597
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:07,440
because these accessories are machined to a very specific height and i need to make sure that my gap

598
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:14,640
in between these two was is right and it's looking that way uh what i did notice quickly as i pop

599
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:22,400
that in is this is going to be a very tight fit yeah it's very tight and once the cup holder's down

600
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:32,400
it's fine um but i have made my armrest width wider than i think one would make their tables

601
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:38,000
i think one would make their tables to like i don't know i think this is like 3.8 or four inches

602
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:45,280
mine's like more four and a quarter almost i like the i like i like wide armrests that's just me

603
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:50,960
and i made the tables i get to choose if this accessory is being designed for a four inch rail

604
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:57,680
and i've now made a bigger obviously it's not going to work as intended but i don't really care

605
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,880
because if you don't want this you can just take it out and then just put it back in and that's

606
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:09,440
i can't live without that and that's kind of why i like this accessory system is because it's so

607
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:15,200
simple to put stuff oh someone needs to move chairs oh no that's so hard to move something

608
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:21,360
instead of having like a leather surface for a plain surface i was actually going to route a

609
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:29,760
pocket out and stick a usb type c powered lcd screen very similar to what Linus stuck in the

610
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:36,160
in his van for his kids right i think ASUS released some sort of gaming monitor that all you need to

611
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:40,880
do is plug in the USB-C and that carries both power and you know the data signal considering

612
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:46,160
we're going to have computers bolted directly under the table having extra screens that you can

613
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:52,320
just take a USB-C cable i don't know either i'll make like a nice little plug to plug it in here

614
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,400
or you can just have some sort of dock underneath the table that you can plug the the screen into

615
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:03,840
you can now have a screen and because we play dnd in person but we use dungeon something or

616
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:08,400
other but it's like we're all 20 just a different version of it so because we play online we have

617
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,400
to have some sort of screen there and it's great if each individual person has a screen because

618
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:17,520
then they can control their character individually rather than having like one person move everything

619
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:22,960
kind of just makes it flow better so that's that's the the eventual goal is when there's four of us

620
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,800
sitting here there's going to be one at each corner each with our own you know cup holder

621
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,680
and then we're going to have our player desk with our screen and the screen is going to be hooked

622
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,840
up into the computer which is running the game and then you know the dm can sit there and we can

623
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:41,600
make something else for him to sit on because he needs a lot more stuff if you need more stuff you

624
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:48,880
can just make something with these magnets and this thickness and then you can just plug it in and

625
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:55,120
let's say he needs uh i don't know a tiny little tray for his books so he can have his books over

626
01:04:55,120 --> 01:05:00,560
here you just make a little thingy that sticks out pop it on and when you're done you just take it

627
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:05,680
off and you can play a different board game and we're building this little bit over here so so

628
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:13,120
this is the this is a leg we have the two legs the the idea is that those toppers when they're not

629
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:20,800
in use can get slid into the legs so i have gaps for them to slide um we're going to run a pocket

630
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:29,040
out of the legs uh half an inch deep so that this can rest on the leg and then we'll just put a bolt

631
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:35,440
in from this side just to make sure it doesn't move this is cut one inch longer than it needs to be

632
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:42,080
so that once we cut the half inch pocket on each leg the final dimension between the legs will be

633
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:47,200
correct but the half an inch is just so that it sits into the leg a little bit makes it a little

634
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:54,880
more secure but ultimately this keeps the legs um a certain distance apart as well as it's going to

635
01:05:54,880 --> 01:06:01,120
be one of the main supporting beams for both computers and so both computers will like rest

636
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:06,880
on this and then we'll have two server rails one for each computer so what we're about to do right

637
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:14,160
now and every single time we fire up that cnc we've now started to double check the program

638
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:19,760
beforehand by just jogging over where it's going so that we don't send it and then like routes a

639
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:25,520
massive gouge and like it did last time we've been doing things um but in theory we route this

640
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:30,320
pocket i put the other leg on we run the same program i route the other pocket and then i'll

641
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:37,120
set both legs up here and we'll try and we'll try and fit that piece of plank in between both of them

642
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:44,640
and hopefully it fits first time and then i will need to 3d print some drill guides or just freehand

643
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:51,440
but then we need to attach some hardware to this in order for it to bolt to the legs securely

644
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:57,760
and yeah that's another step complete and then the legs will be able to be freestanding by themselves

645
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:04,560
and then all we'll need to do is attach the last piece to the legs which is this piece

646
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:13,760
this piece will attach the legs and this will have three drill holes into it which is going to attach

647
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:21,040
to the underside of this so we glue this to the legs and then we bolt this to the table surface

648
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:26,560
and that's what attaches the legs to we're on the home stretch uh let's hope that the that the that

649
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:32,640
the cnc program is correct um because we're about to run it now so well i don't know if you guys

650
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:38,400
heard much of that it'll probably be cut out but uh seven hour talking there was a bit of

651
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:46,560
blowout at the end here uh basically what blowout is is as a router bit is going through

652
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:54,480
certain parts of the wood can like fray off and be very chunky just based on the direction of

653
01:07:54,480 --> 01:08:00,880
that the bit is spinning and where it's traveling um so over here you can see that it's like frayed

654
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:07,120
a bit we were using a down cut bit and as the as it was traveling past there was a very thin piece

655
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:13,920
that it knocked and as it knocked it kind of broken tall um what we will be doing next time

656
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,680
is just putting a piece of tape it just kind of helps secure the wood so you get a cleaner cut

657
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:23,920
which may or may not do anything yeah it may not yeah it's it's kind of

658
01:08:25,440 --> 01:08:29,760
when you do stuff with a router bit blowout is something that you accept or you try and

659
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:35,760
account for as much as possible uh we we deliberately undersized it um

660
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:43,360
refer to my previous comment of um over cutting stuff i think what i'm going to do is i'm going

661
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:49,280
to drill from underneath and all from the top because the top is going to be blocked by the

662
01:08:49,280 --> 01:09:02,000
computer so like myself when dead blowy make sure that you understand where the location of the

663
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:08,240
backswing is going if you know what i'm saying i basically i don't want to um have to chisel away

664
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:13,360
the corner there uh i'm actually chamfering the corner anyway so

665
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:20,080
now that i've lobbed the corners off it's a lot better

666
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:28,160
i have to lob the corners off anyway so we're literally just going to do that whole thing again

667
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:33,280
and then that's it all that needs to be done now while i remove this tape that i we use for just

668
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:41,840
holding it down um is drill the mounting hardware for the um

669
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:49,520
the corner hardware that i use on the rails we're having a discussion off camera on

670
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:57,120
whether i should go back to my desk spend a couple minutes measuring and designing um

671
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:02,880
some 3d printable templates or drill guides which i was talking about earlier

672
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:13,440
or we just go full send and and go for it so i have one packet of these of this hardware left

673
01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:23,680
okay one packet four bolts but in theory all we need to do is drill three holes okay one hole

674
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:30,160
for the nut which is very simple you just drill on the center line somehow uh and you send that in

675
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:39,200
that's very easy yeah then you need to drill another hole at the same mating point here

676
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:45,760
for this thing to go in and then perpendicular to that you need to drill another hole for this

677
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:53,680
thing to go and line up so this is a 1532 so that's usually for this thing

678
01:10:55,280 --> 01:11:01,760
so we drill the big youngest hole in this thing however i know that this was a little bit too tight

679
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:11,920
so we'll go this is 1532 so one above that is 1632 which is what exactly one half yeah 1632

680
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:21,680
is one half do we have a 31 64 drill bit i can do math 31 64 what up where did he go

681
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:30,640
you said we'll do math and then he goes and what i did off camera was mark uh 45 a 45 millimeter

682
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:36,960
line so i just locked my calibers to 45 and scribed the line and then i halved the distance from

683
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:48,480
this which is like this is 53.10 so half is 26.55 and i just marked it there so in theory that is the

684
01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:57,120
dead center of the pole and i did the same on the other end the trick is to drill it straight

685
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:03,840
now as i mentioned when i was talking about the 3d printing stuff uh i'm not great at drilling

686
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:08,320
straight but we're going to give it a go because time is of the essence and

687
01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:16,400
seems easy enough uh that was the pilot hole

688
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,000
chamfering drill bit it's a drill bit that kind of like

689
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:36,560
chamfers out the hole which i need to fit the flange nut in in the meantime i am going to try

690
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:48,800
and drill the hole for this piece so obviously this nut is going into the end of the table

691
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:55,120
and then this thing goes into the nut on the inside so this is now in this piece you can imagine

692
01:12:55,120 --> 01:13:04,240
that and then we stick this into there so now i need to drill that hole and that hole is

693
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:10,400
about needs to be about that thick the hole can be wider than this and should be wider

694
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:17,920
so that i can pass through uh this hole doesn't really support anything other than just a means

695
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:25,120
of passage of this thing so really it can be extremely oversized but i try to keep it close

696
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:35,280
enough um so i think i'm using a 1332 drill bit and again the the idea is to go straight

697
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:44,240
but um why i'm recording is i want to stop at a specific depth uh so what i'll use is i'll use

698
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:52,400
um this as a uh measurement and then i'll put a piece of tapey tape right so i need to go down

699
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:57,920
at least at least this deep right so i'll just butt that up there okay so i want to go down

700
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:03,120
at least that deep so i'll just um that's about there but i'll go a little bit deeper just so

701
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:08,560
that there's a bit of um tolerance on there so i'll put this piece of tape uh tape around my drill bit

702
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:14,560
and then once that piece of tape touches the wood i'll know where to stop

703
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,840
there you go see i stopped when i got there not the cleanest hole i've ever drilled

704
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:31,920
if i'm being honest and tell you what that hole is a lot more centered than that hole

705
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:38,800
which i'm seriously contemplating putting this drill bit inside that drill press

706
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:44,000
and trying to force it to go in a different direction

707
01:14:46,480 --> 01:14:57,360
what i don't want is to try and assemble the legs and the the bar fits but when you try and

708
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:03,280
put the hardware in the hardware tries to move the leg into a different position right because

709
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:10,960
the location of those holes are going to help guide the poles into position so if the hole is

710
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:17,520
off centered it's going to like try and pull the pole wrong you know what horizontal wise it's fine

711
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:26,880
so on the up and down it's fine on the on the center line it's it's not so fine um it's

712
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:36,320
it is very um 26.55 is what we're aiming for that's millimeters because really

713
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:43,280
metric is the only unit system yeah you can see it's supposed to the center of the circle is supposed

714
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:50,560
to be on the tip of that caliper it's like a millimeter off it's it's enough where it's

715
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:58,000
actually a problem so what i'm trying to do now is i've started the drill hole and it's off center

716
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:04,400
right and if you've ever tried to fix that with your hand it's almost impossible because as soon

717
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:09,760
as you try and drill the hole in a different location if any part of your your drill bit is

718
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:15,440
touching the previous hole your drill bit will just naturally strip to that hole um this is a

719
01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:22,000
lot more rigid and i can probably force it not to touch that hole and drill a proper hole yeah

720
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:32,080
looks a lot better now so that is if anyone is counting two out of the three holes or four out

721
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:41,520
of the six because we have to do it twice that is the hole for this done and the hole for this

722
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:50,560
done so what that means is it'll be able to go in yay now all that needs to happen

723
01:16:50,720 --> 01:17:02,160
is that this needs to be here somewhere that's what we're aiming for so what i'll do in that case

724
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:08,480
is i'll measure with the caliper this time because i actually do care a little bit it's 30 millimeters

725
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:17,840
from the from this line here to the center of that hole if i set this to three millimeters

726
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:24,320
and then i just butt this up against this face and scribe a line that's where i need to drill but

727
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:31,200
now i just need to make sure it's centered and for that i'm going to probably use a square or

728
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:39,120
something something a little bit more um precision the reason why i say a square or something is i

729
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:45,840
actually need to transfer this center line so i've referenced this center line from this face here

730
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:54,560
but this face doesn't exist on this plane so what i could do is line up like the

731
01:17:54,560 --> 01:18:03,040
scribing line in such a way so you can see how i've scribed that line if i butt a square up against it

732
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:10,880
and i know this is square i know this is square so if i use that to that i'll

733
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:17,280
should get an accurate dimension it's not perfect and it's there's way better ways to do that it's

734
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:22,160
just it's late and i want to get this done so the biggest concern that i have with this is i have

735
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:30,080
enough um shank length to go the depth that i need to go and the depth that i need to go is

736
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:38,160
to bring this hole in line with this hole right so basically i want this over here i need this i

737
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:47,600
need this sitting exactly there but just inside the wood okay to get that i'll need to measure this

738
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:54,960
height we're going to wing it for the first one we'll probably get a rough depth probably about

739
01:18:54,960 --> 01:19:04,080
there i love how i started this whole recording with how i like using 3d printing to do drill jigs

740
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:09,760
and everything and now i'm like completely freehanding it hoping that a flippin works

741
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:17,120
time to test uh kind of let's just say i might have to do some work on that hole some wood

742
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:24,240
splintering inside there that's causing not the greatest fit of this if you rewind a couple of

743
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:31,840
minutes um there used to be a massive gap in the middle here which i've bridged together with pieces

744
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:39,840
of wood it just so happens that at that exact location uh there's some wood splintering happening

745
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:45,680
there um you're not going to notice it because it's in the middle but because i'm trying to use it as

746
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:52,240
like the centerpiece for this it's actually causing a bit of problems but it is what it is um

747
01:19:52,400 --> 01:20:02,960
um good news is it seems to it seems to work fine even with that being a problem

748
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:08,560
so now all i need to do is do it again for this side

749
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:18,400
and if that works then i'm done and the next time that we uncut

750
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:26,560
what we start rolling um i in theory i should have it assembled together on the floor

751
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:29,200
once i have this one drilled

752
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:42,400
there you go yep yeah i'll i'll say yay later once i actually get it assembled

753
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:50,800
inside the correct holes that we drilled earlier now i can put these bars inside the holes

754
01:20:52,000 --> 01:21:00,320
so now we have two bars and holes now in theory this will go in there

755
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:11,040
and that will line up perfectly actually oh wow that worked way better than i thought it would

756
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:19,360
considering i was not comfortable with my measurements it's lift this up

757
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:24,080
align this there put it through the hole

758
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:37,280
and realize we have a different problem that's a different problem i don't want to talk about it

759
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:43,200
what doesn't work i don't know why it doesn't work

760
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:50,560
this is the answer like you can see there's a gap there and there's no gap here which means

761
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:59,520
one of the holes is shifted that way either this hole or this hole right because over here

762
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:06,160
you can see there's no gap and it fits right right that's that's what we want we want that

763
01:22:07,440 --> 01:22:13,520
but what we have is you can you can see it from from from here right so you can see

764
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:20,560
there's a gap there's a gap on the side there's no gap on the side right one of the holes is

765
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:28,160
not centered relative to each other so it's it's making it sit that way if they sat in the same

766
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:33,520
line it would there would be no gap on either side and it would just fit and i am a little bit sad

767
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:40,560
because this one fit so well i was i was really excited that it was going to work first time

768
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:48,400
okay so let's see what we've got here i think the only fix for this one is to widen the hole

769
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:55,200
so long story short that hole is not centered by probably the amount this hole is not centered

770
01:22:55,200 --> 01:23:00,000
this way and that hole is not centered that way when you add them together it causes that massive

771
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:08,320
gap i could flip the plank over i could flip the plank over never mind

772
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:16,560
what have you never seen me work no the first time

773
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:19,440
oh

774
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,920
i think i have the same problem on the other side just in the opposite direction

775
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:40,320
nope nope nope nope nope we got unless that was the same i think that i think i flipped it over

776
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:45,680
i think i flipped it over come on come on

777
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:53,920
there you go okay one side is centered wrong this way and the other side was centered wrong

778
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:58,640
that way i had them opposite each other so they were stacking up in the wrong direction

779
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:04,800
i flipped the pole over now this side lined up it was a slight concern that flipping the side

780
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:10,320
had the same problem but in reverse on the other side so that's what i was like really laughing at

781
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,560
because that would be like just my f in luck right now

782
01:24:16,480 --> 01:24:23,680
i don't know if i've mentioned this on camera but like yesterday at home i built

783
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:31,120
i built one of the computers going into the into this like there's two the two computers are

784
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,960
going to go here i built one of them yesterday just to make sure all the components fit

785
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:42,720
um oh balls and the system didn't post so like

786
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:52,560
nothing of this f in upgrade has been simple and nothing has worked from the outset

787
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:59,520
yeah maybe maybe

788
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:06,400
i did a bad job on this drill

789
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,040
hole we won't talk about it ever please

790
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:17,040
it's looking smaller in real life than it did on the computer i don't even know what day this one

791
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:24,480
don't even ask me um but it is actually two days after today before shooting it is monday

792
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:33,680
and i'm filming on thursday and everything is kind of done so here the legs i just need to

793
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:39,280
sand the top that i added so this is the final shape of the leg let me get a prettier leg because

794
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:45,040
i'm going to actually cover that little gash there with neoprene why am i still in a panic

795
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:52,480
if everything is done these are sanded they're nice and smooth but you do not leave wood unfinished

796
01:25:52,480 --> 01:25:58,240
this is unfinished walnut which means if someone came along with a mug of water and they stuck it

797
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:03,600
here it would leave a nice little ring and i'd be very mad i have two things that i'm going to finish

798
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:12,400
the wood with we're going to start with some gentle finishes enduro sanding sealer so what that does

799
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:20,640
is provide a very nice layer between the sanded wood and the top coat so this is what we call

800
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:26,880
a base coat it's kind of there just to go between the wood and whatever you add on the top and the

801
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:31,920
top is called a top coat the reason why i'm using general finishes sanding sealer is because i'm

802
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:40,400
using general finishes as the top coat so they the general finishes obviously recommends their

803
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:45,920
product as the base coat i could have used something else but you know if i'm using this as the top

804
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:50,240
coat i'm probably just going to use their same product as as the base coat just because they're

805
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:55,200
designed to work together now this is a conversion or catalyst varnish which means the two part

806
01:26:55,200 --> 01:27:04,080
varnish you mix these two together in a ratio that's somewhere over here and you put it on top of it

807
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:10,560
the reason i chose this finish is because it's designed for bar tops and if you know how much

808
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:17,360
abuse bar tops take you kind of know why i went this is because it's it's designed to be the strongest

809
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:26,160
of the strong finishes and i really don't want to refinish the table and i have kids and kids

810
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:32,080
sometimes do stuff that they're not supposed to do this should survive a water spill as long as you

811
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:36,400
clear it up and don't leave the water sitting there for like seven days i'm going to do two or three

812
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:44,000
coats of this and a single coat of this and the reason i'm panicked is because let's do math i have

813
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:50,640
to spray this which means i need to take apart this entire table that's together and hang it up so i

814
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:56,560
need to suspend it from something because this but this is a spray varnish i can't i can't brush it on

815
01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:01,040
with a paintbrush you have to spray it with a high volume low pressure sprayer which i have over

816
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:07,040
there and i'll show you in a second so i have to spray it so i need to hang this somehow and that

817
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:12,880
somehow it still hasn't been figured out now once i spray it with the base coat i have to wait

818
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:20,000
upwards of one hour to an hour and a half for it to dry enough before i can scuff sand it and be

819
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:26,320
allowed to spray another coat right so if i'm doing one coat of this and two to three coats of this

820
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:32,880
i need at least two to three hours of just drying time assuming that it's dry like

821
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:37,040
assuming it's dry enough in that hour and i don't have to wait longer

822
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:43,600
plus the time taken to spray it plus the fact that i need to sleep plus the fact that once i'm

823
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:50,720
done spraying theoretically i'm supposed to wait seven days before action like it fully cures and

824
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:57,600
we're filming in three means i need to get the stuff sprayed on like yesterday and it's three

825
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:04,320
o'clock on monday and right now all i have is that i basically section off our paint booth

826
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:11,200
and just run drop cloth so this is plastic very thin drop cloth because this workshop

827
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:16,880
is dusty as flip and you don't want any dust when you're spraying because that dust is going to get

828
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:21,440
collected and then you're going to have like little flecks of dust all in your finish and it's

829
01:29:21,440 --> 01:29:26,880
going to look terrible so what i'm trying to do is create a dust-free environment as possible

830
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:35,120
but everything's working against me because if you come over here there is a hole so you see that

831
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:42,720
silver pipe thing there is a hole next to that silver pipe that's the intake for the HVAC system

832
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:48,000
so when it outputs it needs to take in air yeah that's where it takes in there so if you think

833
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:57,040
about there's dust suspended in the air well that dust travels and goes up there so and i can't

834
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:02,320
i can't block this entire area off because if i do that air still needs to get in there

835
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:10,640
here's to hoping that if i spray down here i'm hoping that the dust just goes that way and

836
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:19,280
doesn't settle down it's a mild hope but we'll see how it goes i think it'll be a major fire hazard

837
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:28,000
if i start hanging it from the um you know the uh fire sprayers so i'm going to have to find some

838
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:36,640
way to put like command hooks or mount something to the walls like a like a pole or something

839
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:42,720
that i can then hang the stuff off even if it's vertical as long as it's suspended within the air

840
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:48,800
in a way that i can turn so like nothing can be resting on a flat surface because i need to cover

841
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:54,960
all sides right so i can't like unless i spray one side wait for it to dry then flip it over then

842
01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:59,920
spray the others but then i'm losing more hours so ideally i want to invest the time to hang the

843
01:30:59,920 --> 01:31:09,680
stuff so i can spray bugger all for an hour come back scuff sand it and then spray again what this

844
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:16,480
finish will do is i'm not staining it right that's that's an important thing um this is not a stain

845
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:23,520
so like a stain will change like the darkness of a wood so if you had like a light wood like maple

846
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:28,720
or something like that and you wanted it to look dark you would use a stain and that stain would

847
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:37,280
darken the wood but walnut is naturally dark and walnut has a very nice um natural kind of grain

848
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:44,080
pattern and i've chosen faces that i really like so i don't want to stain it all i want to do is like

849
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:50,400
seal it that's kind of why i've gone with polyurethane finishes um this is a polyurethane it's a

850
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:57,520
water-based one um it's catalyzed polyurethane but it is polyurethane so all that all that's going to

851
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:03,200
do is uh make the grain pop a little bit so it'll be a little bit more defined and it's going to

852
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:09,200
provide like a nice little semi-gloss finish oh the only other thing we have to do is um we're

853
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:17,280
going to brush we're going to brush um polyurethane onto the plywood just to seal that off and because

854
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:22,880
that surface is really not going to be seen i just picked up this cheap can of uh it wasn't cheap it

855
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:27,920
was like 40 bucks but whatever this uh fast dry and water-based polyurethane that you just brush

856
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:33,120
on so it's just yeah it's a brush on polyurethane it's what we used for um our work benches in

857
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:40,720
crater warehouse and i'm going to have sebastian do this um yeah and that'll be brushed on polyurethane

858
01:32:41,440 --> 01:32:47,440
so that'll at least be protected um this is going to get covered with a uh play surface anyway but

859
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:54,000
i still want it coated just in case water spill the finish is finished no ideally the

860
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,840
finishing is finished no later than tomorrow that's a tongue twister

861
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:07,040
this used to be a silver side panel switching gears uh what i am actually going to do is bolt

862
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:13,440
a piece of wood to it looks pretty cool um i'm going to bolt a piece of wood to it and the rail

863
01:33:13,440 --> 01:33:17,840
is going to bolt one one side of the rail is going to bolt onto this and the other side is

864
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:24,160
going to bolt onto uh the leg and the cross brace um we will probably be bolting the rails

865
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:30,960
to this uh in the video because i don't i ordered the rails yesterday and they'll be arriving tomorrow

866
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:35,920
so odds are i won't be doing it before the actual filming so that'll be a fun thing for

867
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:41,200
liners tonight to do so yeah there's a lot to be done before thursday just to make like the whole

868
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:51,040
place filmable um and i'm kind of really nervous about how much time i have to spray this especially

869
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:59,760
since i don't flip and know how i'm going to hang this which weighs like a small child

870
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:07,760
from i need to hang it like this or like this thankfully it's got some very nice little like

871
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:12,160
loopy hanging holes and i do have string i just need something to attach the string to

872
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:17,280
that's not going to break when i hang it because imagine spraying this and being done walking

873
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:21,440
off for an hour coming back and it's falling on the floor because your hanging solutions trash

874
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:26,560
and that's what i'm concerned about because i've already dropped something on a corner and almost

875
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:31,760
dented it and had to like sand it and i'd said some very bad words yesterday when i dropped it

876
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:38,240
i was hoping to have the first coat the base coat sprayed and done two hours ago and i don't

877
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:47,680
even hang have the stuff hanged up and i've still got to sand this so good news is everything fits

878
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:55,280
everything works the computers fit in perfectly and if things do go sideways we can film the video

879
01:34:55,280 --> 01:35:00,320
without me spray sealing all of this it's just not going to look as good and then i can spray seal

880
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:10,320
afterwards so there is a backup plan um but yeah so like there's the rough part there's the smooth

881
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:18,480
part um looking looking over the surface i still have some like grooves that i want to get away

882
01:35:18,480 --> 01:35:26,000
so i might just focus on some of these spots um you can see my planer kind of cut this groove if

883
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:30,960
you follow my finger can you see that groove yeah you're following it correctly so basically what

884
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:36,800
happened was i probably sent um a piece of lumber through my planer with a knot and my planer has

885
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:43,280
knives and i have a little nick in one of the knives so it just kind of every time you pass that

886
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:48,560
exact spot it like messes it up um the solution to that would be to replace the knives but um

887
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:54,240
they're expensive um and i haven't switched to a helical cutter which has a whole bunch of little

888
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:59,360
like tiny little knives that you're gonna replace rather than one big knife um but that's easy to

889
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:05,040
just sand out and get rid of so yeah it's one of those things where it's like it's just easy to

890
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:10,320
sand it out and call it a day but yeah i've just got a bunch more of that to do um and sami will

891
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:14,400
just leave whenever he's done and yeah the next time you'll see me we'll have a lot more of the

892
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:20,560
table ready to show and be a lot closer to filming um which is pretty exciting uh thanks for watching

893
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:25,520
this exclusive it's probably going to be a long one good luck to sami for editing this whole thing

894
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:30,560
but i hope you learned something i didn't go through all the steps i did like the milling

895
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:37,120
process of the lumber face gluing everything to build the to build the wider rails and

896
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:41,840
all of that yeah watch the LTT if you haven't um this will come out off the LTT so if you

897
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:48,640
haven't watched the the upgrade watch it i have no doubt it's going to be hilarious um

898
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:53,840
hopefully Linus doesn't break too many things i don't know because it hasn't been filmed yet
