I have been a woodworker for more than 50 years, making everything from furniture to jewelry boxes and clocks. In the past few years I have been absorbed with making hand tools. In this era of mass production, the idea of creating beautiful tools that I can customize to my personal needs and preferences seems especially appealing. I want to pass on the lessons I have learned so that others will be able to have the same satisfying experiences that I have had.

Solid Carbide Chisels: Power Shaping
Hi, This is a great solution to accurate depth measurement on the drill press. But, and I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this already, you should advise people to check inside of the press (while it is of course unplugged from mains) that the mounting holes have no live switching/wiring etc behind where they are drilling. If not then this could lead to very unfortunate and dangerous, if not fatal, results, such as instant shock or creating a live machine. Please don't take my comment as mindless negativity, I like your vids and appreciate the effort you take making them, I just think that this should have been pointed out before progressing with the actual drilling of the body. Again, thanks and keep up the good work!
Muchísimas gracias por hacer lo que haces y encima que lo compartas GRATUITAMENTE. No como otros que dan pena, Un saludo desde España.
Thanks to a biscuit-joiner esque tool from Grizzly, I've switched entirely to dowels with most of the efficiency of biscuits but greater strength (as far as I can tell so far
This is a must have item for me even though my small chisels are huge compared to yours. My free hand sharpening technique mostly works for me but I had to learn to use a very light touch and never be aggressive. I see you are gentle even with you jig and that makes sense. Nice build.
This is well done. I am interested in watching more research videos. Please continue with this line of production.
Have you seen diy perks home made view camera
Beautiful work, Patrick.
Anyone else notice his Sawstop?
Fantastic job with the explanation and visual image with measurements
Very nice build and great explanation in the video. Any chance you posted the files for the rack alignment rings somewhere?
Hermoso video, perfecto. Muchisimas gracias por compartir. Seria impresionante ver una fotografia de esta camara, sería la cereza del video. Muchisimas gracias
What I learned from this video: I will be making the custom parts I need out of MDF lol
Thanks 😊
This the easiest explanation of the scheimpflug principle i have seen so far
Thank you Sir 🎉
If I may suggest, *Marius Hornberger* has an excellent video (actually _two_ 🙂) on doing a number of upgrades to his drill press. I'd link, but... YT deletes said links, even internal-to-YT ones. Search on: *"Marius Hornberger Inside a Drill Press"* He then followed it up with "World's Best Drill Press Upgrades" which adds still more. Marius has a GREAT channel, FWIW!
Perfect
magnifique travail ...pour essayer d'en fabriquer un en ce moment , je connais la difficulté d'un travail aussi propre
Glass plates, both coated and uncoated, are available from a company in Europe called Zebra Plates. I had a good experience ordering coated glass plates for my 100 year old 5X7 camera from them. I think they will make custom sized plates for customers.
Wonderful engineering and craftsmanship but I do get very nervous watching your fingers close to moving saw blades. Beautiful wood and metals. We all need to protect our planet’s biodiversity, natural resources and environment.
Very cool project, thanks for sharing!
Great job that wheel looks good!
You must be an engineer if you are an American using metric in a woodshop?! 😮
Hi, Great video. Good graphics and a breakdown of your explanation of what should have taken place and what did not. Keep the videos coming…
Great video, Mr. Sullivan. For your next upgrade you might consider a inset waste disc. While routing circles and milling discs with precision are at the very boundary of my woodworking skills, it's truly a gratifying enhancement.
Great idea and great video. Any chance you would share the STL files for the retaining rings and switch box?
It's harder to get a clean surface on end grain though - you would have to shoot the end where as with side grain, you can simply plane it on the bench no problem.
Great work.
I 3d printed some biscuits. After printing I have drilled a couple holes in them for glue to have a tunnel through the biscuit. I understand that most pva glue will not stick to 3d printed material. I basically use biscuits for alignment vs. Strength. The festool domino is just a overpriced idea . I am sure they have their own place but I am going to say that for 90 percent of the joints I build strength more than what the glue provides is a non issue. Festool has a place in some shops but not in mine.
Hi - Thanks for your video and especially for the links. I have mine up and running - I just need to decide on the top layers. I made my own coupler out of brass on the metal lathe and just mounted the motor to the bottom of the table with a block that fits around the motor and bolts to the bottom plywood. I used over-sized holes to allow for adjust-ability. Thanks!
Great idea!
Wow, this is just what I need for my drill press! I have the same situation, where the crank handle interferes with the table. This is the perfect solution! Thanks Patrick!
Interesting. I have all of the equipment for a lift. Been sitting in a pile for a year. Have a lovely new PM press now and this is motivating me.
I will be making a motorized Drill Press Table myself in an upcoming video on my own channel. Good work Patrick! As always your videos are well thought out and informative!
No more tilt for angled holes?
Can you turn on the press and use the motor to lift the workpiece INTO the spinning bit? That'd be handy as hell in certain situations. Example: my radial press only has about 6" of vertical travel. I have a few 24" bits. If I need a hole 10" deep, I have to bore the 6, then crank the press up so the bit almost bottoms out, then restart the press and finish her off. THEN crank her back OFF again. I'd love to be able to just press a switch and raise it straight through. Even if I had to pause and jiggle the handle a bit to clear chips. I may build this one myself! Thanks for sharing!
I want one! Useful information presented in a clear and understandable manner. Educational and enjoyable, what more could we want?! Thanks Patrick.
I was just thinking about doing this to my drill press, and I basically had the same design in my head. Thank you for confirming my design should work!
Thank you for one of the most educational woodworking videos in existence. You filled in so much of my understanding of gluing and did it in such a concise and clear method. Thank you again.
I've been following your builds since I found your small cutting tool series which I followed to make a carving knife for an old friend. I really love the clarity with which you explain your process, both in word and image/video - not to mention the extremely high quality of both design and implementation of your builds. I have very little expendable income but I do have a solid collection of tools and it's growing thanks to the inspiration you have given me to make my own. So, thank you for sharing your work, I truly appreciate it.
Your stuff is so ingenious and well made, Patrick. I just love it. Thanks for sharing!
Very good result.
Great video! Your clear progression through the steps makes this feel really accessible. I think I'll give it a go! Would you consider making your 3D print files available? Thank you for another wonderful build!
Thank you, another wonderful video, well done Patrick
Nice video. How about hanging something off the back with some weight to cancel out some of the bind. Also, I just subscribed.
I very much enjoyed watching this. Thank you sir.
If you don't lock the table, doesn't it float left & right? Is that an acceptable compromise?
Very cool. I used a variable stepper motor so i can change the speed with the pot. Idk if it really matters. I always use the same speed and its about the same as yours.
Wow. I had no idea I needed something like this. Thank you.
Nice! Thanks!
