Yes Brice it does take a long time to produce a video.

In making the auxiliary fence I found out just how much time it takes to produce at lease 10 minutes of good usable video.

It only took me about 30 minutes to produce the actual auxiliary fence.   But it took me at lease 4 hours to do all the other stuff required to upload it.

I had to check and double check to make sure my face was in the shot.  I had to make sure the lighting was going to be bright enough without to much

shadow.  Keep the wife and dogs out of the shop.  Then load the videos on the laptop and edit everything.   At times it was frustrating.  Yet when it's all

said and done, they are fun to make.

   So I now have a better appreciation for videos that guys make and share.    

I read up on the 32mm system for a long time before making my kitchen cabinets.  So I have a good understanding of how the system works.

I have a good chance of building kitchen cabinets for someone this summer,  as well as building cabinets for my shop and have the LR32 on my

radar.

Scott can attest, even the relatively short videos he and I make can be time consuming.  What Paul-Marcel does is hard to imagine.  Really think about it, building projects, shooting the video, editing, and putting all of it on his blog, that's practically a full time job.  Most people don't fully appreciate the treasure that guys like Paul are to the online woodworking community.

Absolutely true. Processing all of it and making it into something enjoyable and with good info is time consuming. You have to enjoy it to do it.

It is good that so much of it surfaces at the fog, I think it helps reduce duplication.

I am only qualified in the finish tool, product and process end of things, and I would say that what keeps me motivated to do it is the lack of good up to date content in that area, and wanting to get the right info out to people. When I take on something new, I research it to see whats out there, and its generally lacking. Its a real goal in '13 to do a better job of it.

Must be even more difficult for guys like you and Paul.

I made a start on a Kapex 120 video a while ago but had too many other things going on to finish it. I will look at it again in the summer. Almost everything I have learnt about the Kapex is thanks to Rick and his excellent US Supplemental Manual.

I am aware of the number of people who want to see project work (or at least the tools being used rather than just talked about) and so that is what I aim to do. I tried to make the OF1400 video to be as much a demonstration of it in use as possible. The Table Project is really an excuse to show off the Domino - another tool where Rick's work has been a boon.

I think its about TIME that Peter made a SECOND video much  more indebth and advanced on  uses of the Festool MFW, multifunctional Watch.

Absolutely true. Processing all of it and making it into something enjoyable and with good info is time consuming. You have to enjoy it to do it......

Scott, that's where I can save some time, I don't bother making my videos enjoyable or with good info. [big grin]

I really liked your Surfix test video, nicely detailed, great commentary.  If you're going to more videos of that caliber I will be glued to me seat watching.  I've tinkered with paint contracting, I know more than more than the average carpenters but I'm not an expert.  I'm eager to learn more.

I hope to do a better job of videos in 2013 as well, maybe even some LR32 videos.

I knew Sancho would be trouble once the Taliban let him go. Cheers Ron.

Ha! Good tip!

Thanks for the feedback. We are looking to take the video program in that direction for sure.

+1 What Alex said about the uncommon tools.

All in all it would be nice to have a proper in-depth review of every Festool tool out there both INA and NAINA as well as a series of videos on the system concept of the Festool system i.e. videos showing off all practical and special combinations one can use the different components together starting from simple things like running different tools on rails (jigsaw, TS-saw, router) to mixing and matching assessories between MFT/3 and CMS-units and CS-saws for example. At least I haven't been able to locate a single source video or written about the entire Festool system.

My hat is off for all of you who have the artistic eye to actually come up with a reasonable script for a video and the persistence to actually go trough with the retakes and editing to produce a video.  [thumbs up]

Starting to get over the jet lag and getting my sleep pattern back on track..

I actually saw a Taliban commander, He rode his motor cycle up the this small camps main entry control point (ECP) theHe had a baby with him to show he came in peace, their version of the white flag. The Marines searched him and the baby, blind folded him and led him off to whatever place they pow wow at. Thought that was interesting thing to share with every one..

I bet if we would of offered him a MFW he would of surrendered and gave up…

 

[PaulMarcel]

Dude, you're kidding, my 4Tb video is on how to make a Shaker end-table because I didn't think there were enough of them...

Thanks for the kind words; that I put more time into the video doesn't mean the content isn't better than a simple lean-an-iPhone-against-a-can video.  It morphed into a new hobby of sorts.

I don't have an LR-32 (though I wish I thought to get the holey rail!), but I could see it as being a very application-oriented accessory like Brice pointed out.  To describe the basics would be a yawner for people to watch unless it resonated with them to see what the basics allowed you to do.

I have Eric's videos up on two other tabs and am going to watch them before answering some questions he sent.  If someone has a video editing question, lemme know.  I'm not an expert, but I might have banged my head on the same problem and came up with something acceptable.  Just send me an email PaulMarcel@gmail.com.

 

[sancho57]

As a hobbyist I have been wanting the LR32 set ever since I made my first Festool purchase.  I would also love to see more in depth videos about the system.....

Eric

This has Brice written all over it.

I'd love to able to do an in-depth LR32 video.  To cover this subject in detail would be a daunting task.  Going over the basics isn't too difficult, it's taking the basics and extrapolating those basics to cover in detail all the different applications, bookcases, built-ins, vanities, and all the sorts of cabinets.  A lot people want to build a one off/custom project that would require special use of the LR32 without even having a basic understanding of the 32mm system and euro hardware let alone the Festool LR32.  This is where a great deal of confusion comes in. 

So to get a full understanding of the basics you'd need at least an overview of the 32mm system, then the LR32 basics, then cover euro hardware, then the concepts to apply the LR32 for use with hardware and so on and so on.  That's a lot of ground to cover (how many people would get bored and stop watching long before they understood anything?).  Not to mention very time consuming to make such videos. 

Scott can attest, even the relatively short videos he and I make can be time consuming.  What Paul-Marcel does is hard to imagine.  Really think about it, building projects, shooting the video, editing, and putting all of it on his blog, that's practically a full time job.  Most people don't fully appreciate the treasure that guys like Paul are to the online woodworking community.

So until more LR32 videos become available do your homework and study the 32mm system, watch videos and read some of the good threads here.

Ya know Brice,

I watched that Inside the Cab video a few times. But that was before I owned the LR32 system. Thanks for posting it. It answered most of my questions about using the LR32 for drilling the hinge cup holes. I guessing that the door length has to be divisable by 32mm or the exact length of the cab side.  Pretty easy once I get the MFT set up to cut at that length using the flag stops. I could also order doors to that length.

If It was for kitchen cabs then it should be a standard length

Its pretty high speed when you look at the system in its entirety and how it comes together.

Okay.... I'm just getting my feet wet with making videos for Youtube.   So please bare with me here.

This is a video of making a zero clearance insert for the Kapex.

I got inspired by Paul Marcel to make videos.  And after doing a search myself and not finding what I was looking for I wanted to start making

videos.   This is a two part video.  I find it hard to edit a video to keep the time down, so someone will want to watch the whole video.  It's

harder then it seems.  So I made it a 2 part series.

You inspired me to make a zero clearance inset. And while I was at it, also made zero clearance aux fences. Very easy..simply stood up a piece against the Kapex and traced an outline. Then extended it a bit to reach the blade. The height where the blade is was determined to give clearance to the dust shroud. It is attached with flat countersunk bolts and nuts. Make a quick V grove and the holdown clamps work.

Cheers,

I'd like to see more of any tools accessories being fitted and demonstrated. There are heaps of various attachments available but until you actually see how they work you may have no idea of their usefulness. I think Halfinchsly did one on the OF router attachments that was illuminating and informative.

 

[erock]

  Hey Peter Durand....that looks sweet!  Great idea about cutting a groove into the aux. fence. !  [thumbs up]

[adubeau]

good videos...  the CXS bit was classic I got a good chuckle, thats what I use to take the insert screws out...

 

[adubeau]

Actually I would liek to see soem calibration videos for the Kapex and other tools...

 

[Scott B.]

He's not a tool, but I would like to see more videos from Tom Bader.
