I just purchased your sanding disk and used it immediately upon arrival. The embossed area on the disc is a very intuitive way for lining up the sandpaper...a thoughtful touch. I have a small shop out of the garage and do not have a jointer. This performed beautifully on my contractor Dewalt table saw. This is a game changer for me. I am currently making my first ever cabinets and cabinet doors. While everything has been reasonably square in the past, this brings it to a whole new level. I just wanted to let you know that you have a amazing product for a fair price. Thanks a ton.
That is really great to hear. Thank you for the feedback.
Right?! Every time I use it years later I'm still shaking my head at how great it is. Saves me so much time I can't believe it.
Your workshop would be FUN to just sit in, read the paper, and have coffee! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!!!You are one smart and talented guy! Thanks for sharing!!
Sometimes I do just that.
An almost exact replica of my tooth brushing station at home. Come up with your own ideas, Mike!!!
Giggled at this way more than I probably should have. Thank you! :D
😂😂😂
😂🤣
Screw you both. Literally a carbon copy of my shoe repair bench. Next thing you know you'll also be showing off your 8 pack abs...
Ha! Sorry...
You really have a good Frank Horwarth impresion going with your narration style
Or maybe he is impersonating me?
You are the funniest!!!! I wonder how many people watch you videos and miss the humor you pepper into every sentence. Please keep it up. “K-bobs, toilet track, 12 inch dado stack… such wit.
Thank you very much. I wonder the same thing from time to time.
It's nice to see care put into shop furniture. A large part of the work experience is the environment, so having furniture that not only looks good but functions well is essential to enjoying that work experience.
Great point!
So many clever ideas in this one. Instructive, entertaining, AND non-vomitous!
Thank you.
Man, I was just thinking, I haven't seen a Mike Farrington video in a while, and like two hours later, BAM here it is.
Wee!
Pearls clutched with that MDF stunt you pulled! Haha! I love the Dado pro tip!
Ha! Thank you sir. Hope you're doing well.
You know it’s going to be a good weekend when the boardroom drops a video on Friday! I’ve been looking forward to this video.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the free entertainment, hope you know it’s greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
I love your stuff Mike. I expecially enjoy your narration and sense of humor - as well as the fact you have real experience and ideas that make sense to me. So many KZhead woodworking videos seem contrived or just put out to have something for people to click on. You always make me think about cool ways to go about shop ideas.
Thank you. Thats about the best compliment I could get.
If you ever get low on fans you've got me. Love living vicariously through you. You are,"Wood Man".
Ha! Thank you.
lol toilet track - great work, great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job, Mike. I built a similar dust collection set up for my small garage hobby shop. 2hp Jet unit exhausting into a plenum with a Wynn filter. Works pretty well. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you.
You sense of humor gets me every time. Nice work!
Awesome, thank you!
Love the dance when seeing things in place for the first time. Thanks for sharing your project!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Open KZhead and see a new trip to the boardroom. Always a great day
Thank you.
Mike you’re low key the goat. Beautiful build and it’s insane your video editing skills are on par with your woodworking. You said it wasn’t perfect. I would love to know what you would have done differently or isn’t perfect because only your level of experience could call out what could be improved. Seriously tho, thanks for making videos. Aspirational isn’t the word I’d use because it would be crazy yo get on your level king 👑
Thank you. There are a few little things. I would have made a better shroud around the chop saw. That one I reused from my last chop saw. I also don't like the dead space benching the in feeds. I need to come up with something to store there.
@@MikeFarrington really appreciate the responses Mike!
Green grass and high tides forever is one of my all time favorites. Awesome guitars
Thank you. Agreed.
Making dust collection appear neat and tidy is near mission impossible. But somehow you pulled it off. Nice job!!!
Thank you.
That dado stack gauge is brilliant.
I made a dado story pole based on anotber guys video. One side with shims and one side without. All combos. It was early in my woodworking and I effed up once and had to start over. That was a lot of blade changes..
Thank you. That is a helpful tip.
Very nice project! May have to do something similar in my new shop building. Just as an aside, Tulip Poplar/Yellow Poplar (a member of the magnolia family) is a different species/family than cottonwood and true-poplar/aspen. The former is used heavily in the furniture industry, especially in the east where it grows prolifically. Great material and very reasonable cost as you mention.
Thank you. The funniest part of the wood industry is how street terms overlap the scientific name in no logical way.
@@MikeFarrington Yea, that's very true and it can even sometimes be whacky within a geographic region. That said, Yellow/Tulip Poplar is truly "worthy" and a pleasure to work with.
The Brian Fantana reference during the nail gun misfire tip earned a subscriber
Ha! Thank you. Great movie.
3:43 That was subtle and hilarious. Well played.
Thank you.
I watched this for the miter station but I really like your dust collection system - I think I will adapt it to my shop!
Thank you.
Never clicked so fast in my life!
Thank you.
While watching you do all your work, you made me think of Norm Abrams of the New Yankee Workshop. I loved watching him build things. Exquisite work. 😊😊😊
Wow, thank you! It's a pleasure to be mentioned in the same sentence as Norm.
Love the build and the Minnie driver reference was quite subtle and sophisticated, keep them jokes coming!
Thank you.
Great video thanks for this. I don't know why but I have the impulse to re watch this when I get home with a cup of warm coco and my slippers 😂👍
Ha! Thank you.
Speaking of Minnie Driver, another delightful film of hers is _Big Night_ (1996), which also stars Tony Shalhoub and Stanley Tucci.
Great movie.
SkilZZZZZZZZZ. Love that Beast of a radial arm saw! Cheers
Thank you.
Your videos make my shop a more organized and safer work place. Thanks!
Great to hear!
Thanks, Mike, for another stellar project loaded with more of your trademark "Pro Tips". You truly are 'a cut above'. Cheers from Toronto.
Thank you.
Great job Mike, I can tell that you like building shop fixtures and jigs as much as the woodworking you do. I share that same passion, usually I like the challenge of the jigs over the project.
Thank you.
Defo entertaining Mike thanks, I love all the little play on words lol K....Knob, Mini Driver 🤣🤣 also as always fine craftsmanship
Thank you Conor.
@@MikeFarrington I believe there is a scammer in this feed
@@ConorMakes It would seem so. I have reported it, we'll see how long it take for them to pull it down.
Minnie Driver always welcome, and kudos for the nod that talented lady. Grosse Point Blank, anyone?
Thank you. Great movie.
Nice video. Glad to see you kept the radial arm saw. See some new toys in that shop, gratz.
Thanks 👍
@@MikeFarrington Great dust collection system too, nice getting that up off the floor.
Wow, you know a cabinet maker when you see one. So clean and surgical it's scary.
Thank you very much.
You are the man, ha. This video is gnarly - so many things in this. Idk how I got here, but it makes me want to work wood all day
Thank you.
@3:40 LOL. That's not bad. It came out of left field and that's what makes it funny. And the care you put into shop furniture that no one will ever see just goes to show your attention to detail and mastery of your craft.
Ha! Thank you.
A man in complete harmony with his craft. Something tells me he was producing ornate dovetails of Japanese level complexity by the age of 4.
Thank you very much.
I'm generally less freaked out by radial arm saws then the average person as I grew up with one... but that beast is kinda intimidating!
Thank you. Yeah, it's a monster for sure.
Gold star workshop holy crap!
Thank you.
This video just came across my feed since I have been looking at building a miter saw station. Holy crap your shop is amazing!! Yeah ... shop envy is a thing. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow, thanks!
I will be moving into a new shop soon and the dust collector ideas will serve me well. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and continue to stay safe.
Thank you! You too!
I am jealous at the cleanness emptiness largness and tool kickassness in your shop.
Thank you.
Helpful, useful, humorous and no vomit. Great video and love your delivery. I'm setting up a new space for myself and this video helped resolve a bunch of issues that have been bouncing around in my head. I mean who doesn't like holes for handles lol! Thanks Mike!
Glad it was helpful!
One day when I win the lottery I intend to have a similar shop to this. Beautiful. I may even make my tooth brushing station similar with some granite tops.
Ha! Thank you.
Wow. Great work and project, but really great content without hype and clickbait-ism. I find most other woodworking KZheadr videos, well, vomitous to use a word from your library. Your sense of humor adds just the right touch to top it off. Well done sir, we’ll done. I’ve subscribed!
Thank you. Welcome aboard.
Boy oh boy do I wish that I had that kind of room!
Thank you. I am fortunate to have my shop.
Oh wow, that was very interesting and entertaining at the same time!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work that Norm would approve of!
Thank you very much.
I love your dust free shop
Thank you.
Awesome project, as always. The movie and song references are always great! The bucket attachment is ingenious and so many other great tips.
Thank you.
Loved the level of detail you put into these videos along with your dry sense of humor! Keep it up!!
Thanks a ton!
Nice chop saw station and dust collection
Thanks a lot
Finally, someone who knows (kanows) how to properly pronounce knob (kanob)!
Ha! There are few of us around, let me tell you.
I don't remember you coming over to my shop. I Frankensteined my dust collector upside down and backwards just like yours... But I used quick connect norfab. But jokes a side glad to see that you are getting the micros under control.
Thank you. Dust collection is a continuous journey.
No better feeling than vindication for years of hoarding up spare pieces that “could be useful someday”! I have a couple shop projects that have justified me in the past.
How many times have I said those same words to myself.... Could be useful.
Johson manufactures bubble levels in Austria? Didn't know that. Btw: another great song recommendation from you! Psychedelic vibes.
These levels are really old, so the place of origin may have shifted. I'll give the a listen. Thank you.
Both helpful and entertaining. Thank you for sharing. I have a recently remodelled modest workshop in my double garage and have made similar stop blocks for my mitre station. I am in awe of your work and shop 🌞
Thank you.
Just when I thought I found the best Woodworking people on KZhead, this guy comes along. Just what I needed! Great stuff and an instant subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
Dude the level of precision and attention to detail for shop cabinets is CRAZY!!! This is why you are the best!!
Wow, thanks!
Man I wish I could reply with a picture… I just installed that vanity I was talking to you about like a month ago. It turned out amazing. I made the case and drawer fronts out of sapele and the top out of African mahogany. Sprayed it all with a moisture resistant lacquer from Sherwin Williams. It turned out amazing!!! Now I wait for the next one… how has business been for you? Is it getting tougher to get people to sign on the dotted line? Or are you booked for years on end? 😆
Great video! I've watched a ton of this type of video, and this is the best one I've seen! That's because it so closely matches the details of what I've been planning, so it must be the best. Joking aside, I like it because it addresses the dust collection in a great, clever way, and adds in the same radial arm saw I want to add. I also like how you step down the width as you go out.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the Good Will Hunting reference - awesome movie!
Thank you. Totally great movie.
The Minnie Driver reference was killer
Ha! Thank you.
No man, thank you. I really enjoy your work.
Fantastic work. I’m going to have to take the legs off my radial arm saw, I love the extra storage you got underneath while also increasing the rigidity.
I think it was a worthy upgrade.
Exceptional quality construction
Thank you.
As usual, just amazing. I could only wish my work shop could fit one in. My workshop (for my business) could probably only just fit your car in... if it was empty. One must keep dreaming though.
Thank you.
Lovely job as aways Mike. “Unclench your pearls" 😂😂
Thank you.
Another great project Mike! Always enjoy watching your videos and gaining some new knowledge of how you do things
I appreciate that!
Love it. I literally just dragged out my dust deputy XL, intend to use it as a dedicated cyclone for miter saw and maybe add gates for some smaller bench tools. As always, top notch. 🎯
Thank you. So far I've been impressed with its performance.
I'm not sure what's better. The actual video or your witty repartee. Keep the great work, I always look forward to new content.
Thank you.
You make the best shop furniture.
Thank you.
3:00 The automated Kreg pocket hole jig is awesome! I want one now!!!
Thank you. Its a neat tool.
I got a Friday off work and a Farrington video to watch. It's going to be great weekend! I've been inspired to step out into my shop and build some shop drawers. Thanks, and great video as always!
Good stuff.
Really smart solution for short pieces with the T track and the filter quick change is genius. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you very much.
Wow, what an excellent result. Just shows what a bit of planning will do. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Always a pleasure to see your monsters take life!
Thank you.
Mike, love your work and mind! I’ve been waiting for this exact build for years! Cheers!
Glad you like it!
Minnie Drivers are great in Good Will Hunting and when building face frames!!🤣 Love the video and the project. Most definitely not vomitous.
Great to watch and fun to listen to! Thanks Mike!
Ha! Thank you.
So many little tips in this video. I really liked this one!
Glad you liked it!
I have waited 1210 days for this. Your on the way out time-line is very similar to mine. Thank you as always. Move to North Texas!
Slow and steady, even if that means 4 years. Ha! I would love to more to North Texas, but its too hot.
Excellant video Mike. I greatly enjoy how you point out numerous details in your process.
I appreciate that!
Great job Mike! You inspired many people 👏👏👏
I appreciate that!
Those gamma seal bucket lids are great! I use them on my maple sap collection buckets. We have a very small urban operation and some of the trees we collect from are beyond walking distance from home. The gamma seal lids work so well we don't have to worry about tipping a bucket in the car on the drive home. This is a slick "hack" for them!
I also use a gamma seal lid as my oil change recycle bucket. Same reason, won't spill in my van.
Wow!!!...sweet shop layout!!
Thanks a bunch!
Mr. Farrington, if ya don't mind me asking, how did you figure out the "layout" of your shop? I have been watching a lot of youtube videos, comparing a lot of shops to one another if possible...just curious. I have some tools, but I haven't even gotten started good, yet.😁
@@craigrmay7935 If you're just getting started. Start you shop with where materials will come in to your shop, and then where they will be stored. From there start laying tools out in a way that allows easy movement from materials to tools.
watching you work is like watching an artist paint Mike. Love your stuff. Also helps youre a little funny ;)
Thank you very much.
We are not supposed to 'envy' others, but every time I watch you use your sliding tablesaw, it creates massive amounts of envy in me. Very nice project that surely beats my miter saw on a rolling stand that gets rolled out of my garage and onto the driveway for cuts....because outside is my dust control process. 🙂
Thank you very much!
Great build, Mike. Looks like everything came together and functioned well (eventually). Bill
Thanks 👍
Well done, young man! Too many people I've encountered over the years don't understand why anyone would put so much effort into something like this. I both understand and applaud your efforts!
Thank you. I'll work with this for years to come, extra effort now helps later.
Outstanding presentation! You solved the chop saw dust collection puzzle so brilliantly. Kudos. I built Norm's version of the bench almost 20 years ago but could never get adequate dust collection figured out for my 12 inch sliding double compound saw. Still have the saw and am building new bench in smaller shop. You have given me some good ideas for a intermediate dust collector that runs independent of my ClearVue dust collector. Nothing shortens the life of a 5hp motor then constantly turning it on and off. Those Wynn filters are awesome. I've still my two original filters with my ClearVue and other than back blowing them annually, they might last for ever.
Love the reference to Norm, his solutions may not have been the best but he inspired us to try.
Thank you very much.
Love the dust collector & filter setup.
Thank you. It's been working really well so far.
Cutting the gamma seal bucket was pure genius!
Thank you. That is a neat trick.
Very nice,I’m envious about the Omga chop saw. Absolutely top of the food chain.
Thank you. Its a nice saw for sure.
Your shop is so bright. I am very envious.
Thank you.
Looks fantastic! Great radial arm saw. Nice shop! Lots of room. You deserve it. I built for decades . It's worth having a decent set up! 👌
Thanks 👍
Shaper envy activated. We share the same sense of humor.. my wifes bemoaning leads me to believe its is an acquired taste. Great job as always Mike.
I'll have the shaper in many future videos for sure. Agreed, acquired taste.
@@MikeFarrington I recently just went back and watched all your videos over the course of a month and maintained my sanity surprisingly. Although I did find myself randomly give people I meet "song recommendations" and correcting their pronunciation of "kah-nob". I enjoyed them all, especially the parts with your family and the shop apprentice. You are a blessed man with a fine family.
@@troywaller77 Ha! Thank you very much.
Awesome video! Always appreciate you taking the time to record voice over narration to pair with your excellent video footage!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always enjoy your projects and your videos. Well done.
Thank you very much!
