Vlog #97: The Big 3 0

Video Notes

  • Use promo code OLDMAN to get 30% off plan purchases today only. CLICK HERE
  • Lathe cart:
    • You never nick your hand on those upturned chisels when grabbing one?
      Come on jay you need to turn your own drawer pulls man
    • U also might want to add some weight to the cart for turning out of balance logs
    • General wisdom is that a light lathe should be bolted to something heavy. The additional mass cuts down on vibration which causes chatter. Rather curious that you have not needed to bolt yours down.
  • Jay, could you do a review on your grinder with the CBN-wheels and the Wolverine-ish (?) set-up in a tool-talk , or as a separate video??
  • A number 7 jointer plane is nice :)

  7. 30 What a GREAT birthday. I remember it like yesterday (now 71 in Nov).

    30 is just the beginning of your life because you now know most of the things you thought you knew in your 20’s !!!!

    Persevere, Love, Laugh and Rejoice

  9. Hi Jay –
    Really enjoy your website. I’m new to woodworking and just beginning to set up my shop. Do you have past videos for the novice woodworker?
    If so what do you recommend?
    Keep up the great work.
