John Heisz - I Build It

Videos on woodworking and workshop related projects.
Check out my website for hundreds of cool projects: https://ibuildit.ca/

Me and my shop are in Ontario, Canada. I'm a carpenter by trade and have worked in commercial construction since 1985.

Concerning my videos:
I can't and won't cover (or follow) every safety rule when doing a project, and it's not my responsibility to train the people that watch my videos. It is up to them to learn, understand and follow the safety rules concerning the tools they choose to work with.
My videos are not comprehensive tutorials - they are a look at how I did the project and should be viewed as entertainment or a source of inspiration.

My Free Deck Chair Plans Here: https://ibuildit.ca/blog/free-deck-chair-plans/ This is an easy to make, compact and low cost way to effectively clean the air in your small shop. I bought the parts for mine for less than $100, and that includes the fan and the two filters. I mounted it on the ceiling pointing down toward my table saw to pump a supply of fresh clean air in while I'm making a cut. And I made it so that it will turn on when I turn on the lights in my shop, so it will be working continuously to filter and move the air in the shop. ▶️ Project plans for sale: https://ibuildit.ca/plans/ ▶️Support the work I do on Locals: https://ibuildit.locals.com/ ▶️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h ▶️ Join my Makers Mob for detailed build tutorials: https://go.themakersmob.com/john-heisz-i-build-it/?via=ibuildit My "Scrap bin" channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/IBuildItScrapBin #ibuildit #woodworking Website: https://ibuildit.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i_build_it.ca/
It doesn't get much easier than this, especially when you see how well this works. The Dewalt 735 planer is a very common model and it has the advantage of having a blower built in to push the shavings out, so this is a solution that will only work with that particular planer. ▶️ Project plans for sale: https://ibuildit.ca/plans/ ▶️Support the work I do on Locals: https://ibuildit.locals.com/ ▶️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h ▶️ Join my Makers Mob for detailed build tutorials: https://go.themakersmob.com/john-heisz-i-build-it/?via=ibuildit My "Scrap bin" channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/IBuildItScrapBin #ibuildit #woodworking Website: https://ibuildit.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i_build_it.ca/
My 9 Project Plan Bundle (LIMITED TIME): https://ibuildit.ca/blog/the-9-plan-bundle/ I made this jointer using the cutter head from my old, broken thickness planer and scrap plywood. The other parts were salvaged or I had them already. I originally bought the motor to build a new table saw, but used it for this instead. I did have an old pump motor that would have been powerful enough, but it spun the wrong way and was too difficult to reverse. I had the steel for the infeed and outfeed tables for several years, again bought to build a new table saw. This video is compilation of 11 videos I made while building the jointer 5 years ago. It took me several months to finish, and those videos are spread out over that time. The jointer has been working problem-free since I built it and gets used regularly. Here's a playlist for those original videos, if you want more details: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkBNR47uEZ7QkKEuPrgF0i63mNDhVT0re ▶️ Project plans for sale: https://ibuildit.ca/plans/ ▶️Support the work I do on Locals: https://ibuildit.locals.com/ ▶️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h ▶️ Join my Makers Mob for detailed build tutorials: https://go.themakersmob.com/john-heisz-i-build-it/?via=ibuildit My "Scrap bin" channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/IBuildItScrapBin #ibuildit #woodworking Website: https://ibuildit.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i_build_it.ca/
My 9 Project Plan Bundle (Includes this Project): https://ibuildit.ca/blog/the-9-plan-bundle/ While there's nothing wrong with my older fence design, I thought that this one would be an interesting challenge - to make a self-squaring fence that locks on the back as well as the front. I've had a number of people who have asked if this could be done and I figured now is as good a time as any to answer that! Yes, it can! And it works beautifully.
