Thank you. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the kind feedback, it’s exciting to help create new ways of using the SO

This is an old video, here is a video testing the real stuff: Car ceramics on wood? Do car ceramics improve your wood waterproofing - Part 1? #ceramiccoating ruclips.net/video/w6-ggcrAFhM/видео.html

Thanks Henry, I have to say that I enjoy making these bits a lot, it’s nice to make things that are useful for you and others

I haven’t done an empirical test, but mathematically the 25x25 bit removes a 490mm2 area, while the 16x16 removes 200mm2. So the beast removes roughly 2.5 times more area, which means that you would have to take a 25mm pass with the 16x16 to equal the 10mm pass of the 25x25. But that’s not possible because the 16x16 can do a maximum pass of 16mm, not 25mm. Also, I rarely take 16mm passes with that bit because it does stress the spindle quite a bit…

You also would like end mills? What type and what sizes?

My friend! I am all ears. What end mill bit design would you envision? Can you send me a link? I am happy to look into it and like the idea…

@Woodensoul I envisioned a compression bit (best of both worlds I suppose). My bit collection is a hodgepodge so I don't have any specific brand in mind to mimic. Just spitballing ideas for you to ponder if you're looking to expand your operation

Are you talking about a square end mill like described here, or another one of the listed ones? www.mscdirect.com/basicsof/end-mills#

@Woodensoul that's a great link, and maybe end mill was the wrong term. I would think a two/three flute design with a total cut depth of 20-25mm.

So something like a Roughing & Finishing End Mill you mean?

Using multiple layers of Rubio doesn’t improve its waterproofing, I have tested that here: Do additional coats of Rubio increase wood waterproofing? ruclips.net/video/4jiEQcecvGg/видео.html

The result is the same but the stains are harder to see pn camera

Why are you sorry?

Yeah, it's no longer sold, but I ended up using mostly this bit anyway, as it's much cheaper and has pretty good results for the money: ruclips.net/video/BtAmp1RZT0o/видео.html

It is, oh boy it is!

About to travel a bit, so no vids for a while 😆

@@Woodensoulfor work, or pleasure? We just got back from a month in Portugal and Spain. 😊

@@HHWS Health... Portugal and Spain, wonderful countries!

You can go wider and rotate the SO accordingly, but you have to use the workstation without the arms

Thank you, most welcome 👊🏼

It’s a real bummer, and also bad for our environment to expect people to buy something twice that they don’t need

The pry bar 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Car ceramics on wood? Do car ceramics improve your wood waterproofing - Part 1? #ceramiccoating ruclips.net/video/w6-ggcrAFhM/видео.html

Interesting, I only thought of the use case of measuring stuff in the workshop. The use case where I do this on the computer is non existent for me…

@@Woodensoul It's not for me in woodworking...but when I'm doing 3D printing I'm often either reproducing something, and it's nice to get the exact measurements, or I'm trying to fit something into another part. So that's my use case.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the only reason to use that caliper

If you are in CNC, Laser cutting work, and don't want to repeatedly increment your work by.01mm and cut.. then, yes, it's nice to have these gadgets, but you can do without them.

But withholding wood you never work with that granularity and frankly the SO isn’t that precise in the first place

The quality of the Shaper caliper? I don’t know, I am not planning to buy it

Most welcome, I wish it would have worked, that would have been a more uplifting video. And agree about breaking the promises…

Let me all tell you how lame SO support ar: I shipped my GEN1-I was amongst the initial backers. After upgrading to the latest firmware back in OCT2023, the screen went black. Support then decided I send it to the US. I did, $350 + $52 VAT +$25 Insurance. They fixed it. I was asking them to take it back and trade it in for the GEN2, I insisted via email, and they turned me down. Now, they come up with a trade-in program. I had to re-ship it from their Repair center $35 + Tax, $360 to my country, another VAT15% and $44 for insurance and customs. A total of more than $900. These people have no respect and no appreciation for us- the people who brought them to life and the ones who are paying for their salaries! You dont know how much frustration and pain it has caused me.

Oh your story is bad, so bad it hurts my brain. Outrageous, why would you treat customers that way???

Hi Henry! Wow, you never bought the 8mm collet? That’s hard to imagine for me, there are so many great bits with 8mm shanks, especially the large cleaning bits, I couldn’t ho without it… you are clearly a skillful man 😆👊🏼

Your too generous. Lol I think I’m a little more, hey it works, so why change. Admittedly I’ve had some less than great results with the 1/4. I think I’ll make the investment for the fall season. 😄

Alternatively you can buy the collet clamp only, to reduce the investment costs 🤣

Thanks for your offer man, I would love to get that wood, but I live in Europe, so way too expensive to ship :D I have not bought the Black Wood ceramics for redistribution, because my follow up tests (ruclips.net/video/w6-ggcrAFhM/видео.html and the follow up video to that) showed that there is no apparent difference between wood and car ceramics, and car ceramics are much cheaper.

​@@Woodensoul I wish there was an easy way to ship wood. Well if you ever want small burl pieces, we have so much here.

Yeah, I wish that too 🙏🏼👊🏼

Sweet! Please let us know how it goes 🙏🏼

Thanks,and I truly hope I won't disappoint your trust 🤞😄

I have not tried it, but I assume it will be very similar to all ceramics. I have two follow up videos where I tested car ceramics, so you might want to check out those to get an impression

@@Woodensoul Thanks! Yes I've seen our other videos. Great comparisons. It sounds like the conclusion you came to is that Blacktail is the best you've tried, and definitely better that automotive ceramic coats. Appreciate your videos.

No, in my recent tests I wasn’t able to find significant advantages of Blacktail over car ceramics. They mostly performed tge same but are much cheaper

@@Woodensoul INteresting. I saw your video where you describe the damage to the table. It would be a shame if the ceramic coat actually made the finish LESS durable, or more difficult to repair. It does seem like putting a layer of silicone on finished wood would be a bad idea, as there's only a weak chemical bond to the oil wax finish underneath. Appreciate your experiments!

@@jeffreyjbyron Yeah, let's say that there are mixed signals. I haven't stopped completely using it, but I am evaluating much more carefully if its really necessary, and what it would mean if I have to repair the object.

It's a plastic brush on an angle grinder

Hi. It's called a Stroke Sanding machine (ruclips.net/video/nrI6GRZ5T3k/видео.htmlsi=d09fHmvzYhwQkE1d). It was already in the workshop I rent, so I totally lucked out, but if I ever need to find a new workshop, I will have to buy one, it's so useful.

Ahw... that is so kind of you, thank you!! I still hope that you will find a use for it and that you will love it. Please let me know. And thanks for watching, I am always pumped if people find my content helpful...

​@@Woodensouldon't worry, i have a real talent to put myself in "technical trouble" (the "how the hell am I going to actually do that?" kind of trouble), so I'm pretty sure some day, I'll be super happy I bought it!

Thank you so much! Please report back how you like them once you get them...

Thank you so much for your trust! Please report back how you like it...

Yeah, that's the spirit :D

Yeah, I had some difficult weeks where making videos wasn't possible. I hope to be back on track now, but we will see...

Thanks, I hope you like it 👊🏼

Oh man, I am about to publish a video about this. But in a nutshell you are right about everything you said 😩

@@Woodensoul I am really shocked - at their behavior. The BT Caliper is more or less an exact copy of their own. In fact, its a few years older, which makes their Caliper the "Copy".. So do I have to dump my hard earned, expensive tools for their sake?

Gib deine Telefonnummer ein für das Shipping

.....ich habs auch nicht verstanden, und "vielen Dank" eingegeben.....🥴

🤣

Here you go: creatoriq.cc/43gxzCZ

Looking forward to your bees wax video (doesn't seem you made it yet).

Yes, it's in the works, I have been kind of slacking of with it, but will do it in the next few weeks

Most welcome - pumped you found it useful

My friend! The one and only Olive Press is back!

No, I always test red wine because I drink red wine and the chances of rain in my living room is slim… 😆

Awesome, glad it arrived safely… 👊🏼

🙏🏼👊🏼

I know, apparently that’s the only advantage. I should test that too 😆

I always watch his videos. Are you talking about the leak?

Whats that?

I am happy to make such a video. If you can let me know what your main questions are, I can bake that in. Also, what are SLFs?

Sorry. Single Line Fonts. What are the best bits for those? What are the best bits for non-SLF engraving. Does it depend on how deep you are engraving? How deep should you engrave? Does the type of wood matter? How deep should you engrave per pass. Can you cut all the way through 20mm to engrave (is that even engraving or is it carving?). Why are engraving bits always set at .02 inches diameter in the videos? Do you need to use offsetting while engraving (I saw one person do that in RUclips). Lots of questions that spring to my novice mind! Shaper tutorials do not cover this in basic form.

@@Wyman642 Got you. I am happy to make a new video about this, but need some time to think about it. In the meantime, you will find some helpful information in these videos: ruclips.net/video/dyiF8kUX5Vw/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/BtAmp1RZT0o/видео.html

Thanks so much!
