15 – Updated Shop Tour/Live Q&A (Part 2 of 2)

Video - May 12, 2007

And here is the conclusion of our live Q&A session. I apologize for the length of the video, but I guess that just shows you how much fun we had. The questions just kept coming and I really enjoyed the constant interaction. It was a very fun day and I look forward to doing more things like this in the future.

Flash version does it

I had the same issue on the flash version. On linux, the quicktime files don’t play.

Blip does the flash conversion so unfortunately I dont have control over that process. I will re-encode the file at a smaller bit rate, which should reduce the file size and repost the new file. Hopefully that will fix the problem. Sorry for the trouble guys.

Good work once again Marc! I was cooking while I listened and watched so I may have missed it but I would be interested in seeing the Festool table setup in action along with your comments on it vs using a table saw for certain kinds of cutting.

Hi Mark

Just finished watching the shop tour recording Parts 1 & 2.

I was a refreshing and frank show, which finished too soon. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to your next instalment, whatever that may be.

Thanks to you and “The Team”

About Kickback.

I wanted to echo your comments about sensing a kickback just before it happened and the importance of that kick off power switch you added to your saw. I’m a few days from my one year anniversary of my amputation. Just before the accident I heard the sound change and could feel the pull om the workpiece. Unfortunately I froze because I had no idea what to do about it because I could not reach the recessed power switch and a new I would get hit if I let go with either hand. Unfortunately the wood/saw made the decision for me. There are several things I would do differently but I wish I had a splitter like yours – I now have an MJ splitter. The other is I modified my saw switch like you did so I could now turn the saw off with my knee. Your video was good timing because a magazine had just shown the same set up but seeing you with it was the kick in the A– I needed to build it. I love that kick bar and I recommend it to all your viewers. I forget which video, Marc which was it. Also, I’m headed to Grizzly this weekend to get a jointer – insert angels singing.

I have to say ” I get my hat off at you”. What you have done on this episode is not easy. To answer all those bombing questions to everyone who ask its mayor league. I enjoyed a lot this Q&A setion. One thing is clear, when you have so may questions from all the woodworking community, you must be doing something good. And most important, you are gaining their respect including mine. I don’t have a big shop ( mine is 10 x 10 )but something is true on this, once I enter that small shop door I’m the king..
Good bless you and my respects to miss Nichole..

Marc, Are you using an electric die grinder(sic) for your carving. I’ve been planning a 60 gallon two stage a/c, becuz the air driven models use a lot of air. Your thoughts?

Reply
thewoodwhisperer May 20, 2007 4:52 pm

I use a Makita Die Grinder. This one, in fact:

Works great. I have never regretted going electric.

Marc, in your shop tour you mentioned how you use rubber mats around your shop to help stop the sore feet you previously had. I know what you mean, but I found that having mats around my shop was a nuisance and potentially something I could trip over because of all the transitions between matted areas and cement floor.

I recently bought some Wolverine work shoes that are great for our needs around the shop. They have non skid bottoms with shock absorbing bottoms as well as inserts. Just another option for you.

Wolverine huh? Where can I find such fabulous footwear?

Hi Marc

I have just found your site reciently and think it is great. I have two questionf for ya. You have made reference to Marc’s creations website on several occasions but when I google it or type in the addy it takes me right back to the whisperer. I know I am about 3 years behind in viewing your pod casts but is this site still available. I would love to see your gallery.

My second question is you have mentioned or have worn a Jersey shirt a few times. Do you have ties to the east coast?

OK I know I said 2 questions so here is 2.5. You also mentioned you teach classes. Do you travel to some of the bigger venues such as Marc Adams or do you stick to your own real estate. How can we sign up for some of your classes in AZ?

Thanks again for the great work

Dave

  Hey Dave. That was my old business website and it no longer exists. But here is my little gallery: http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/gallery/
  
  As to the second question, I was born an raised in NJ.
  
  And unfortunately, I no longer offer classes in my shop. I do still travel on occasion to other schools/stores to teach. Nothing on the books right now. But whenever I do have a class on the schedule, you can find it in our calendar:

  Thanks Dave!

Hi Marc,

A new UK viewer and a complete beginner to woodworking here. I only found your website a couple of days ago and have found it and your podcasts to be very enjoyable. In fact I’ve been so hooked since discovering your website that I’ve only stopped to watch Norm!

I do agree with you though that he uses far too many nails especially on the exterior of his creations. Maybe its an addiction or something ;)
