Which tables do you have plans for Dirty?

I just released two new videos yesterday, one for the base MPT and one for the MPT accessories. These new videos replace the original videos and present similar information but in a fresh way. The original base MPT video was the first video that I ever did and I wasn’t happy with the production quality of that or the accessories video so it was…[Read more]

lol glad you guys enjoyed watching Mr. Gavin’s adventure 🙂

Good to hear that your guy’s kids enjoyed watching it too! My girls still enjoy watching it even though they’ve watched it a million times now lol.

DirtyWhiteBoy wrote:That’s nice editing there Dan. lol. I’ve been want to try that with a bigger blower and a skateboard.

lol thanks Dirty. I had fun making the video and having a go at stop motion animation. That would be interesting to see how a bigger blower and a skateboard would work.

Thanks for all the comments guys, glad to hear you enjoyed the new episode! It’s been doing well so far view wise and also with MPT plan sales with the special promo code.

Keep an eye out for a special video coming out later this week that I made just for fun. It involves the Bosch 18V blower and a toy school bus…

Hey guys, just wanted to share the latest episode of DP Shop Talk with you. I show how my ultra efficient pocket hole drilling setup works as well as how to make the base plate and extension wings for the K5 jig. This setup also includes the Bosch wireless charging system which is a key component. Hope you guys find it helpful and let me know if…[Read more]

Lol ohh ok. I thought you meant follow you around. I was thinking kinda like those robotic vacuums that go around and clean your floor. Just mount a fan on it and a Bluetooth tracker and y…[Read more]

Thanks Dirty. I would imagine that you have a lot more heat and humidity to deal with in Hawaii than we do here.

Well we stay in the 26c to 31c =80f to 89f year round and with out trade winds helps keep us cool. We do need fans to keep cool. I had thought of a site fan that could blueteeth up to your phone…

Thanks guys, glad to hear you found it helpful. The insulation panels really did make a huge difference in my PEI shop. I still have all the panels but don’t need them in this shop but I think we’re going to use a few on the house since it’s been so hot in there this summer.

Boschmanbrian wrote:woodman_412 great video Dan,
I remember you mentioning that you don’t have running water in the shop, my question is with the humidifier, do you have a permanent drain installed behind it, or do you have to drain it when needed,
I installed a humidifier in our basement, and put a permanent drain for the unit to be able to run c…

@dirtywhiteboy that’s a really interesting design – did you come up with it yourself, or find it somewhere? I’ll be needing to make some myself eventually when we finally get around to completing our kitchen renovation.

Thanks guys! Glad to hear that you guys found the new episode helpful. How to episodes are usually more work to produce but they make for helpful content and get steady views over time since people search for info on a given topic to learn how to do it.

Just released a new episode this morning showing how to upgrade drawer slides from standard roller type slides to full extension ball bearing slides. Some of the drawers in my shop cabinets were in need of this upgrade so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to create a how-to episode. Hope you guys find it helpful and let me know if you…[Read more]

Just wanted to give you guys a quick update and also another big thanks! The new Bosch table saw blade and router bit arrived and I took them into the IWK shop on Tuesday evening. A big thanks to Bosch, @bethepro and all you guys that have donated points! The table saw blades and plywood dado bit have been getting so much use that we needed some…[Read more]

Thanks for all the comments and feedback guys! It definitely is a challenging concept to continually practice in the shop since clutter is an easy trap to fall into. I’ve been finding that one thing that has been helping me keep my clear open space open is the need to bring either the car or the van into the shop on a fairly regular basis to work…[Read more]
