Miscellaneous video thread

Hopefully a NCWW tradition in the making...

I was hoping to create a thread of random, hard-to-categorize videos related to woodworking. These might not be immediately applicable for most of us, but how many times have we said to ourselves, "I remember when a guy posted a video about _________, and now I can't find it." I'm thinking we could just post random little things here and this will be the place we'll think to look for that random video.

I saw this one and it gave me an idea for a Christmas gift for my brother who, like me, is an avid beer drinker. He's a machinist (or was) and these would make cool pulls for a little wooden tool box for his junk, er, stuff.


There's probably a simpler way to do this, but I like the basic premise.

We have a bottle capper from our homebrewing days, so I don't need a motorcycle fork!

If you know someone who is a fan of a particular brand of beer or soda you could incorporate this into a gift by making different pulls for the various beers or sodas in their lineup.

Anyway, I'm just dreaming up stuff to do in quarantine.

I looked at Grandpa before. This guy is very talented and knows the way to do things the way they were done years ago. He's the Chinese Henry Underhill.

Speaking of dowels, here's another one. Fast-forward to about 1:06.

EDIT: It won't show here so you'll have to click "Watch on YouTube."

Ken Parker was trained to be a machinist but now builds $20,000 plus archtop guitars. He also created the electric Parker Fly guitars that Prince made popular. This series of 3 videos has information I've not seen in one place on optimizing bandsaw blades, cutting cleanly, and setup. The Ittura band saw catalog was $12.00 for postage last I heard. He was supposed to be retiring.

Entertaining video, funny guy, however I’m skeptical that even if you wax the super strut it won’t leave a nasty black spot anywhere there glue. High advise applying tape…and totally agree with the knobs.
