4 hours woodworking in 4 minutes

November 21st, 2013 Comments off

A timelapse video of me woodworking in my basement workshop.
Best if viewed in 1080P :)

This is over a period of several weeks while making 8 wood pedestals for a small art gallery.
The pedestals were built from rough sawn lumber direct from a local saw mill.

I used my hero3 gopro to capture images at 1 photo every 2 seconds.
The final number of images captured was over 67000. Roughly 35 hours of real time images.
I used sony vegas to edit the frames and whittle the footage down to main steps involved in the woodworking process.
The timelapse playback is 60 times actual speed.

See if you notice something odd while I’m working in my shop :)

If you have access to photoshop and you haven’t tried something like this… you should. It’s easier than you think and the results are pretty cool. Watch my video to learn how.

Woodworking Lumber Hauler

September 25th, 2013 Comments off

I needed an extra long wagon to move large pieces of logs and lumber from my garage to my backyard, so I could get the huge pieces into my basement. I designed an adjustable wagon that could be attached to my lawn tractor. The wagon is easy to adjust and easy to disassemble and stow away until I need it next time.

Electric Chainsaw for Woodworker

September 16th, 2013 Comments off

I got some large rough lumber and logs at a great price. My 18″ bandsaw has a 12″ resaw and my jointer has 8″ limit. So I needed a chainsaw to chop the large slabs of lumber down to size for further ripping on my bandsaw. Then I can create final dimensional lumber with my jointer and tablesaw.

A gas powered chainsaw was no good because I wanted to do the work in my garage at night. An electric chainsaw was the answer and I love my makita tools, so this makita electric chainsaw was a no-brainer.
