☃️ Extreme conditions ☃️⁠ @festool_deuts ☃️ Extreme conditions ☃️⁠ @festool_deutschland tools are going strong 💪🏼💚⁠ .⁠ As some of you may know my workshop is in the basement and hence getting big slabs and sheets of plywood into the basement is a real pain.⁠ I cut the slabs and plywood to a more manageable size in the driveway and then get them down into the shop.⁠ .⁠ This day I had to cut a sheet of baltic birch for the CNC and a 52mm European Oak slab for more Kumiko blocks while having a brutal -10° with heavy snowfall.⁠ I brought out my @festool CTM 26 E, the CT-VA 20 and the mighty TSC 55. ⁠ The TSC 55 made pretty quick work of the plywood and even the 52mm Oak. Thanks to the Bluetooth connection with the CTM 26 E the dust collector switches on when the saw is started.⁠ The CT-VA 20 separates the chips and sawdust into the canister and thereby the filter bags live way longer and stay almost empty. ⁠ For the rip cuts in the Oak slab, I switched to the Panther rip blade. I did the first pass with the track and the second without.⁠ .⁠ Although my fingers were not exactly warm and my beard collected icicles it was quite fun to work in these conditions. And the tools didn't seem to care about the weather at all!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ Follow me for more woodworking content: @bauwoodworks⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #diywoodwork #woodworkerproblems #bestigwoodworking #powertool #woodworkingfun #dowoodworking #woodworks #powertools #powertoolsarefun #sawdust #tracksaw #woodworkerforlife #woodworkerlife #woodworkerofinstagram #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworkingisfun #woodworkinglove #woodworkingtools #circularsaw #diyhomeimprovement #heimwerken #liveedgeslab #festool #festooldeutschland #festoolme #festoolfan #festoolfriday #festooltracksaw #festool_world #festoolusa⁠
Working in the snow ☃️💚⁠ .⁠ That was my Working in the snow ☃️💚⁠ .⁠ That was my first time woodworking in the snow and it was great! Have you been woodworking in the snow?⁠ .⁠ Probably the coolest (pun intended 😅) feature about my current dust collection setup is the Bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my cordless plunge saw (TSC 55) with its Bluetooth battery packs to the CTM 26 E dust extractor and hence it turns on and off with the saw. The remote control CT-F I is pretty handy as well. I bet you know the situation when you have the dust hose in your hand and then you have to run back to the shop vac to turn it on?! Not anymore 😁⁠ .⁠ Big thanks to @festool_deutschland for supporting what I do! It is a pleasure to work with these tools 💚⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ Follow me to see the video on how I worked in the snow as well as many more cool woodworking projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #bestigwoodworking #powertool #woodworkingfun #dowoodworking #woodworks #powertools #powertoolsarefun #sawdust #woodworkerlife #woodworkerofinstagram #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworkingisfun #woodworkinglove #woodworkingtools #circularsaw #diyhomeimprovement #festool #festooldeutschland #festoolme #festoolfan #festoolfriday #festooltracksaw #festool_world #festoolusa #heimwerken #woodworkersofinsta #woodworkingmachinery #woodworkings #woodworkingwednesday #woodworkinglife⁠
Building a Clamp Rack 5/5⁠ Hanging it to the wal Building a Clamp Rack 5/5⁠ Hanging it to the wall & putting the clamps in place⁠ ---⁠ The rack was pretty heavy even without any clamps, so I needed a way to hang it to the wall that was strong enough and didn't require anyone else to help me.⁠ My solution was to have a french cleat at the top and just a regular wooden strip at the bottom to drill through. The strip at the bottom only compensates for the distance to the wall the french cleat creates.⁠ I glued one of the french cleat strips to the rack and secured the other at the wall. I did the same to the bottom strip, hung the rack to the wall to indicate the holes for the bottom strip. Removed the rack, drilled the holes, lifted the rack up again, and finally screwed it in place!⁠ -⁠ Then it was time for the fun part. Hanging all the clamps to their new home!⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see more cool projects like this: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #cabinetmakers #diywoodwork #glueup #igwoodworkingcommunity #plywood #woodart #woodfinishing #woodworkercommunity #woodworkerproblems #woodworkerslife #woodworkingmachines #woodworkingshop #woodworkingskills #woodworkingtips #woodworkingtool #antiquetools #beatifulwoodworking #bestigwoodworking #handtool #handtools #hardwood #holzwerken #pocketholes #powertool #sawdustismyglitter #woodworkerworld #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkingfun #woodworkingheart #frenchcleat
Building a Clamp Rack 4/5⁠ Sanding, glue-up, and Building a Clamp Rack 4/5⁠ Sanding, glue-up, and finish⁠ ---⁠ Since plywood is pretty smooth I only did a 220 grid sanding, chamfered the edges with the router, and applied my Osmo TopOil finish. Of course, I left out the spots that would be glue surfaces later on. ⁠ -⁠ For gluing the clamp holders in place I drilled holes, attached the holders with the Dominos and some glue. Then I pre-drilled the holder through the already established holes and put a few screws in it that act as clamps. I did this for all holders and the shelf.⁠ -⁠ My daughter was around in the shop again and for the first time, she used an impact driver. That was fun, for both of us!⁠ -⁠ -⁠ In the next video, I will show you how I've put this beast on the wall. Considering it is out of 1.5 sheets of 18mm birch ply. It is pretty heavy even without clamps.⁠ -⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see more cool projects like this: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #cabinetmakers #cabinetmaking #diywoodwork #dowoodworking #glueup #igwoodworkingcommunity #plywood #plywooddesign #shopgoals #shopproject #woodart #woodfinish #woodfinishes #woodfinishing #woodworkercommunity #woodworkerproblems #woodworkerslife #woodworkersofinsta #woodworkingknowledge #woodworkingmachinery #woodworkingmachines #woodworkingplans #woodworkings #woodworkingshop #woodworkingskills #woodworkingtips #woodworkingtool #woodworkingwednesday #woodworks #workbench
Building a Clamp Rack 3/5⁠ Making the clamp hold Building a Clamp Rack 3/5⁠ Making the clamp holders ⁠ ---⁠ All the sweet clamps from @besseytool_official needed a place to go on the rack and this is how I made the holders for them.⁠ The one handed clamps (Bessey EZM & EZL) got a holder that is a horizontal board with a bunch of slots in it.⁠ I made the slots in the table saw using a jig I originally made for dovetailing. After the first cut I pinched a small spacer between the stop and workpiece for the second cut. Again I used Dominos to attach it to the back of the rack.⁠ For the strap clamps (Bessey BAN 400) I simply glued two strips at 90° together. To position it perfectly I used a triangular ruler and a square. ⁠ -⁠ The holders for the parallel jaw clamps (Bessey KRE) are fairly straightforward and each pair can take up to 4 clamps. I cut off the bottom corner to give them a bit of a nicer look. At the bandsaw I created a hook at the top so the clamps would not slide off and rain down on me. ⁠ -⁠ You can't imagine how satisfying it is to put the clamps in their respective place!⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ In the next video I will show you how the glue-up and finishing went. ⁠ -⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see more cool projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #besseytools #besseyclamps #woodworks #tablesaw #woodworkingskills #woodworkingtips #woodworkerofinstagram #woodworkerproblems #dowoodworking #igwoodworkingcommunity #woodworkings #instawoodworkers #woodworker #woodworkingmachinery #woodworkingmachines #bandsaw #furnituremaker #woodenfurniture #cabinets #powertool #shopproject #powertools #woodworkingporn #woodworkinglove #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkingforall #woodworkingprojects #woodisgood #woodworkingvideo #cabinetmaker
Building a Clamp Rack 2/5⁠ Dominos for joinery ⁠ ---⁠ Down in my shop I formatted all remaining pieces on the table saw.⁠ -⁠ For the joinery I decided to go with @festool_deutschland Dominos. Therefore I had to mark where to register the machine.⁠ The Dominos I used were 8x40mm and hence routing 20mm in each part would end up with proud Dominos on the parts where the slots are routed into the face side, since the plywood is only 18mm thick. To accommodate for that I routed 25mm into the edges and only 15mm in to the face sides.⁠ I set the fence of the Domino to the closest of 18mm which was 16mm. Routing the recesses was pretty foolproof at this point, since I only had to align it to my marks. Before routing into the face sides I switched the depth setting to 15mm.⁠ What I really like about this joinery method is the fact that dry fitting is pretty comfortable and I can temporarily assemble the piece.⁠ -⁠ To position the shelf I used a pair of spacers and put the shelf board on top. I stroke a line, where the base of the Domino will be registered against and some tick marks with the head of my combo square.⁠ -⁠ I registered the Domino against my line and routed the slots. After switching to 25mm and flipping the fence over I made the counterparts.⁠ - ⁠ I positioned the boards, which would become the clamp holder with a set of spacers, made the marks for the Dominos and routed a whole bunch of slots for them.⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ In the next video I will show you how I made the different holders for all the clamps.⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see more cool projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #festool #festooldeutschland #festooldomino #festoolme #festoolfan #festoolfriday #festooltracksaw #festool_world #festoolusa #woodworkingproject #bestigwoodworking #woodworkingtools #woodworkingshop #woodenfurniture #wooddesign #cabinets #shopgoals #woodworkingfun #woodworkinglife #cabinetmaking #woodworkers #plywood #powertool #shopproject #powertools #woodworkerlife #woodworkingporn #woodworkinglove #woodworkingcommunity #diyprojects
One of my favorite post from 2020⁠ Building the One of my favorite post from 2020⁠ Building the backrest of the 2.6m bench⁠ ---⁠ This video was still filmed with my phone and showed me that my content came a long way in 2020. ⁠ .⁠ This is how I finished the backrest for my mom's bench. ⁠ The structure for the backrest was already in place and then I added the 4 horizontal boards to it.⁠ .⁠ This step was pretty straight forward. The only tricky thing was marking and aligning the Domino on the feet since the backrest is not flush with it. Measuring marking and then some crazy freehand routing with the Domino. 😅⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #cabinetmaking #dowoodworking #festool #festooldomino #finefurniture #woodprojects #woodworker #woodworkingproject #woodworkingskills #handcrafted #joinery #makersgonnamake #festoolme #cabinetmaker #woodworkers #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkingprojects #woodworkingmachinery #woodworkingmachines #woodworkingporn #woodworkingtips #woodworkingtool #powertools #woodworkerlife #woodworkerofinstagram #wooddesign #woodshop #woodwork #woodworkerslife #woodworkersofinsta

It might look finished in the picture but it isn't. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 2 The bench I've built for my mom and was pretty challenging in terms of space. Building a 2.6m bench in a 3.2x5.8m shop is not exactly easy.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 3 The toilet paper holder that I've built during the first lockdown here.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 4 The coffee table that I was dreaming about building for quite a while. I promised this piece to some of our best friends. But haven't delivered it yet. (shame on me...)⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 5 The center of the Kumiko panel of the coffee table. The panel has about 1.000 individual pieces.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 6 The bed without metal. It was challenging figuring out how to construct this bed.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 7 The floating key shelf. This was probably the most fun project of 2020 for me. I finally have a place to put my keys and it saves me hours of searching for the keys.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 8 The flip-top tool cart makes pretty good use of the limited space in my shop.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 9 Two boxes. The bigger box was a birthday gift for my dad and the smaller one a farewell present for my former boss.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 2021⁠ I have a pretty long list of what I want to build and share with you. ⁠ I will start by finishing the beam bed and put my new CNC into operation. One of the projects I am looking for the most is my new desk. At the moment my desk is a cheap height-adjustable base and some old kitchen cupboard doors on top of it.

Building a Clamp Rack 1/5⁠ ---⁠ A dedicated st Building a Clamp Rack 1/5⁠ ---⁠ A dedicated storage solution for clamps in my shops was way overdue. I wanted to build a clamp rack that saves space, is close to my bench, and can hold a variety of clamps.⁠ -⁠ Since getting a sheet of plywood into my basement is quite a hassle, I started to break it down in our driveway. This was very pleasing and efficient with the @festool_deutschland TSC55 💚, the guide rail (FS 1400/2), and the right angle guide rail square (FS-WA 90). Until I got my hands on a cordless plunge saw, I thought the corded version is just fine. BUT, without the need of rolling out the extension cord and endless stumbling over it (possibly cutting into it… happened to me three days ago with hedge trimmers), it is so much faster and more fun!⁠ I established a clean and square edge on one side and then measured from there and cut the panel for the back of the rack to size. -⁠ For the other pieces, I only cut the sheet roughly to size to get them into my basement easily.⁠ Therefore I had to rip the second sheet. My tracks were too short for that, but with the little connector (FSV) I was able to join two tracks and make the 2.5m cut. To get the last shot in the video, I had to climb on the roof of our garage and my neighbors seemed to really wonder what I was doing on the roof with a tripod and camera.⁠ -⁠ -⁠ In the next video, I will show you how I made the joinery for the clamp rack.
