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.

John Heisz - I Build It
Get My 27 Plan Bundle Here: https://rlnk.cc/27plansibuildit Neil Pasken (Pask Makes - https://www.youtube.com/c/PaskMakes/) challenged me to do my take on his very popular small parts organizer. His has swing out drawers that rotate on a pivot and are triangular, while mine also has the same kind of drawers but they are rectangular and "butterfly" open. His is free standing while mine is designed to be mounted on a wall or the side of a cabinet, or sit on a shelf. A fun project and actually very practical - these drawers will hold a lot of small parts and fasteners and operate smoothly. You can upsize it as well or make the drawers shorter which makes the cabinet narrower. I used maple and walnut but this can be made with any type of wood, even softwood.

Cope and stick doors are usually done with a shaper or router bit set, but in this video I show how to do it using just the table saw. Not the fastest or easiest, but certainly doable and the results can be outstanding.

How To Make Raised Panel Doors using Only a Table Saw
YouTube Video UCjA8vRlL1c7BDixQRJ39-LQ_jvahZzAAKLs
#shorts I needed to sharpen two of my older thin kerf blades and used a simple plywood jig I made to do that on my table saw. The diamond grinding wheel is specially made for blade sharpening and it only takes a few minutes to set it up and do the sharpening.. The old saw blade cuts like new again after it's been sharpened.

Sharpening Table Saw Blades On The Table Saw #shorts

Yet another edge sanding solution for the cash-strapped home woodworker. Make it from scrap plywood and a low cost sanding belt. The sanding belt is 21" x 3" and fits on a ~6-5/8" wheel. The only tricky part is being patient and getting the fit perfect on the wheel. Everything else is simple, but first CHECK to make sure it will fit on your saw! Mine is homemade and can be modified, but you might not want to do that.
