WEBVTT 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 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 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:13.280 actual upgrade because we'll be mostly focused on building the two computers that are strapped 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 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, 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.720 which is woodworking. Yeah, it was my first big woodworking project that I've done. 00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:32.480 I went again to woodworking for a while and the AMD upgrade was 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.840 game table manufacturer called Wormwood. They make what I consider in my opinion the best rail 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, 00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.800 Crater Warehouse's favorite thing, freaking magnets. They have these mild steel bars and all 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:31.840 know what the measurement is. When you build a physical piece it does not necessarily always 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 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. 00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:47.360 So you know how IKEA has those like things you screw into the wall 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.720 dimensions the board game table dimensions have changed every single time I've made a mistake. 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 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 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 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 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. 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:24.400 Then I missed dimension the rail height because it's supposed to be compatible with 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 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 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. 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:46.560 But someone once told me or I was watching some sort of woodworking like YouTube channel 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 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 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 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 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. 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. 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 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 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 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 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:43.040 usually put into like chipboard or like particle board they end up using for their furniture 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:14.720 was February 2021 was the February before we launched the screwdriver so I was rarely flipping 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:11.760 then the two other ones are for the dowels. So when I slide this in 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 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 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. 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 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 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. 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. 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. 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.120 Come on. Come on. Yeah we go. 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 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 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. 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. 00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:49.680 Right now obviously if I had the apron over here it would connect together but 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 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 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 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. 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. 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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. 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 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? 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. 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:32.400 All right is it just as easy as go around and tighten everything? 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.560 Man this will be so much harder without the LTT screwdriver. 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. 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:51.520 I'm not doing freaking imperial math today. Another way to check square 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:38.000 just imagine that there's another piece over here and I haven't finished this side 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 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 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 00:20:57.120 --> 00:21:01.520 basically the chamfer will match the block chamfer over there the legs are going to be 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.720 actually gluing in the pieces of metal which is this whole contraption here I finished 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:18.400 called catalyzed varnish or conversion varnish depending on whatever name you use and I got 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:41.360 it depends if you're just referring to the board game table itself between 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:50.240 designing planning thinking um actually like woodworking fixing woodworking mistakes probably 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:28:53.600 --> 00:29:00.320 wrap and some throwaway piece of protective whatever the veneer wood that is but this here 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:31:39.040 --> 00:31:44.080 guarantees is when you machine that pocket out it's automatically square because the machine 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 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 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 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 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 00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.680 and just keeps going down and down and down until it reaches the bottom 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 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 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 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 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.720 it's unfinished plywood so you run your fingers on it you get splinters 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:44.800 this pattern and this other pattern right so right now the potential weakness of this design 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:40.960 of the other design in practice I messed up I measured everything in my garage 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:39:23.520 --> 00:39:29.440 cut a tongue and groove it actually changes the outside dimension of the actual piece so 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:52.080 like a template for the leg don't learn any drill skills from me please 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:18.800 have to worry about the cutter hitting it so we're going to drill a hole 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:33.360 conversation which will probably be edited down of the inside versus the outside of the line 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:53:50.240 --> 00:53:53.760 it now has a bunch more holes in it that i've probably drilled off camera 00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:00.640 big holes so that i can access some of the mounting hardware underneath and little holes 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:54:56.320 --> 00:55:01.120 but specifically a flash trim compression but you probably zoom in here uh when i originally 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 00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:11.600 and i'd labeled the blocks the corner blocks correspondingly so this is one someone is 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 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 00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:28.080 so that we can mount it to that so i can flush trim okay yep okay 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:57:32.160 --> 00:57:35.760 and then all four corners are the same because your reference off here and here 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:17.520 then they can control their character individually rather than having like one person move everything 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:08:29.760 --> 01:08:35.760 account for as much as possible uh we we deliberately undersized it um 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 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 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 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 01:09:08.240 --> 01:09:13.360 the corner there uh i'm actually chamfering the corner anyway so 01:09:14.320 --> 01:09:20.080 now that i've lobbed the corners off it's a lot better 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 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 01:09:33.280 --> 01:09:41.840 holding it down um is drill the mounting hardware for the um 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 01:09:50.320 --> 01:09:57.120 whether i should go back to my desk spend a couple minutes measuring and designing um 01:09:58.080 --> 01:10:02.880 some 3d printable templates or drill guides which i was talking about earlier 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:12:13.440 --> 01:12:16.400 seems easy enough uh that was the pilot hole 01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:28.000 chamfering drill bit it's a drill bit that kind of like 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:14.560 and then once that piece of tape touches the wood i'll know where to stop 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 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 01:14:31.920 --> 01:14:38.800 which i'm seriously contemplating putting this drill bit inside that drill press 01:14:40.240 --> 01:14:44.000 and trying to force it to go in a different direction 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:19:04.160 --> 01:19:09.760 and everything and now i'm like completely freehanding it hoping that a flippin works 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:08.560 so now all i need to do is do it again for this side 01:20:11.120 --> 01:20:18.400 and if that works then i'm done and the next time that we uncut 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 01:20:27.680 --> 01:20:29.200 once i have this one drilled 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 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 01:20:52.000 --> 01:21:00.320 so now we have two bars and holes now in theory this will go in there 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 01:21:11.040 --> 01:21:19.360 considering i was not comfortable with my measurements it's lift this up 01:21:21.200 --> 01:21:24.080 align this there put it through the hole 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 01:21:37.600 --> 01:21:43.200 what doesn't work i don't know why it doesn't work 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:08.320 gap i could flip the plank over i could flip the plank over never mind 01:23:11.360 --> 01:23:16.560 what have you never seen me work no the first time 01:23:17.440 --> 01:23:19.440 oh 01:23:26.240 --> 01:23:29.920 i think i have the same problem on the other side just in the opposite direction 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 01:23:42.640 --> 01:23:45.680 i think i flipped it over come on come on 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 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 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 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 01:24:10.320 --> 01:24:12.560 because that would be like just my f in luck right now 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 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 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 01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:42.720 um oh balls and the system didn't post so like 01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:52.560 nothing of this f in upgrade has been simple and nothing has worked from the outset 01:24:55.760 --> 01:24:59.520 yeah maybe maybe 01:24:59.600 --> 01:25:06.400 i did a bad job on this drill 01:25:07.280 --> 01:25:11.040 hole we won't talk about it ever please 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:26:31.920 --> 01:26:40.400 using general finishes as the top coat so they the general finishes obviously recommends their 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:28:34.080 --> 01:28:37.040 assuming it's dry enough in that hour and i don't have to wait longer 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 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 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 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 01:29:04.320 --> 01:29:11.200 and just run drop cloth so this is plastic very thin drop cloth because this workshop 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:57.840 finishing is finished no later than tomorrow that's a tongue twister 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:36:30.560 --> 01:36:37.120 process of the lumber face gluing everything to build the to build the wider rails and 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 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 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
