Early Access Video: Making the Big E
Added 2022-02-19 12:00:09 +0000 UTCFriends:
This week, a little change of pace. Here's the story of my collaboration with the channel How to Make Everything and how it all went wrong. It's a funny story with a happy ending and I got to make something cool and share it with all of you.
Hope you enjoy the project and the hilarious misadventures.
Happy Saturday!

2022-02-23 23:13:30 +0000 UTCThis is a pretty funny story

2022-02-23 03:41:10 +0000 UTCI just glued up a mitred bridle joint this weekend. 😜
Benjamin Fouty
2022-02-22 00:57:30 +0000 UTCWhat's the difference between the lower joint and a mitered bridle joint, as Follansbee talks about here: https://pfollansbee.wordpress.com/2010/12/22/mitered-bridle-joint/ (Or see page 250 in Gary Rogowski's Joinery book.) I've seen a number of variations on this joint, though admittedly they aren't super common. I went through a "I should make picture frames" phase but then had a hard time cutting miters with hand saws without a miter box, so I set that project aside, but not before I looked up several of these kinds of stronger miter joint ideas.

2022-02-21 20:55:10 +0000 UTCDid you leave out your intro on purpose? Just wondering ...

2022-02-21 12:46:20 +0000 UTCLiterally laughing my ass off at that explosion at the 5.00 minute mark! Great stuff, Rex!
Helge
2022-02-21 12:45:42 +0000 UTCMan, I don't wish this thing on the community! It was stressful.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:36:51 +0000 UTCTo be fair, I did do a lot of precision measuring. The tools are only as precise as the lines.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:36:22 +0000 UTCWe could probably work something out.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:35:40 +0000 UTCI guess I need to make a big R and X?
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:35:27 +0000 UTCAnd thank you for being here!
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:34:32 +0000 UTCI think we all need more practice. I know I do.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:34:16 +0000 UTCWell I'll be darned! It does exist. Thanks!
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:33:49 +0000 UTCWell, I had to cut it twice and it still wasn't perfect!
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:31:59 +0000 UTCAnd back at you!
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:31:04 +0000 UTCAw, thanks Paul! That's a very kind thing for you to say!
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:30:55 +0000 UTCI may have jumped the gun in releasing this video to you all. I might not get to do a wide release until more of it is done. I'm waiting to hear about that this week.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:30:25 +0000 UTCYou're very generous to say so.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:29:38 +0000 UTCI was very excited to get the call. I've admired them for a long time.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:29:24 +0000 UTCI've heard of that book! I guess I need to read it.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:28:40 +0000 UTCI guess I talk fast, but I've been talking fast for so long that people don't notice?
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:28:22 +0000 UTCWell....it's still nice to hear it.
Rex Krueger
2022-02-21 12:26:23 +0000 UTCLove how you made the 'E'. Looks like something that would make a great Community Challenge Rex!
Robert
2022-02-20 23:54:48 +0000 UTCThis was a interesting project illustrating the flexibility of hand tools and precision measurements weren’t necessary.
Richard C von Brecht
2022-02-20 02:22:41 +0000 UTCRex any chance I could get your second E for my wife Elizabeth for her birthday? I’m more than happy to purchase it.
Robert Mitchell
2022-02-20 02:16:26 +0000 UTCReally great video! But now I want to know what is going to happen to the replacement "E"?
Doug
2022-02-20 01:46:51 +0000 UTCYou're a class A (Act) with a classy E. Thank you.
John Morrison
2022-02-19 18:18:03 +0000 UTCNice work Rex. Glad it all worked out and you got some extra practice out of it too!
Matt Cottrill
2022-02-19 17:49:38 +0000 UTCGreat work, Rex. And good on you for getting out of your comfort zone. Regarding that third joint... is it what Paul Sellers calls a "tenoned mitre", or have I misunderstood how yours works? https://youtu.be/EM0NcKZNFfM
Mark Thornton
2022-02-19 16:31:25 +0000 UTCI love the Krueger Joint! (Sorry the other one was a mouthful) I will try to master it, but I’m sure it will dull in comparison
Josh G
2022-02-19 16:30:43 +0000 UTCGreat result. Great story. What else? 👍
Alguien
2022-02-19 16:17:14 +0000 UTCRex great job as usual. You are a guy who rolls up his sleeves and gets going to do the job. You have a real gift of drawing your patreon members in and sharing your thought processes and feelings which all of us can relate to!!! You have developed in a really good host sharing your woodworking life with us. Best wishes Paul
Paul Mouradian
2022-02-19 15:34:48 +0000 UTCJust checked the HTME YouTube channel and didn't find any mention of the new logo...with or without the E. I would really like to see the whole thing. Anyone know how?
Charles Hampton
2022-02-19 15:25:38 +0000 UTCE is for Excellent. I aspire to be as good as you!
John Hiemstra
2022-02-19 14:56:20 +0000 UTCHTME was the reason I created a patreon account! You being the second! So love to see this collab!
Braden Mabry
2022-02-19 14:26:03 +0000 UTCThis story reminds me the novel A Void where people are looking for the letter E but there is no one in the book. Good job filling the void!
Pierre-Olivier Fineltin
2022-02-19 13:38:36 +0000 UTCFirst, regarding the E: Satisfactory. Second, how did you manage to get all that information into fewer than 15 minutes and not make it feel rushed at all. Third, it’s pronounced Matt “Estlee”. Great story, product, and delivery. Thanks.
Bill Brisky
2022-02-19 13:13:09 +0000 UTCHoly dovetails! What a story, the E looks fantastic Rex. Thanks for sharing, you did awesome. But you already knew that.
