Woodsmith Shop is available to stream on pbs. It's gonna be a low-cost way to get a high-quality tool, and the process is actually really easy. It's got an adjustable table, the belt changes are quick and easy, and you can use it for all kinds of operations -- for sanding wood parts for your projects, even sharpening and metalworking, as well.
If you're ready to get started on building a project like this, the plans are at our website, WoodsmithShop. Announcer: Major funding for "The Woodsmith Shop" has been provided by Announcer: Old Masters, offering wood stains and finishes for the woodworking enthusiast and professional. Announcer: And by Announcer: Kreg -- from the first cut to the final assembly, providing woodworkers with products that help to simplify woodworking challenges.
Announcer: Additional funding provided by Announcer: Titebond wood glues, the pro's advantage. They're important because they dampen down any vibration, and they keep the machine from dancing around on the floor of the benchtop. With all our parts out of the clamps, I then took them to the table saw and trimmed things up to their final size. If you can see here, I've got all the lines that show the exterior shape of the bearing block. I've got some circles drawn to note the radius, because all of our corners here have a nice, half-inch radius.
And that way, when I go to the bandsaw, I can just cut right up into those radiuses, and I'll get a nice, smooth transition. In order to make my cuts a little cleaner, I'm going to use a fence to get a nice, smooth cut all the way down here to my fillet hole.
And I've drilled eight holes that are countersunk on the back, and these are going to attach the bearing block and post assembly. I also did a little bit of extra sanding to feather in my bearing block and the post block, 'cause a little bit of extra effort now is gonna make the paint finish all that much better later on. Well, with everything done, it's time to go ahead and glue and screw the post bearing assembly down to our base. So I'm gonna put a little glue on the bottom And I'm gonna go ahead and just clamp it in place temporarily until I get my first screw or two in place to hold it.
