Nick Pancheau's CNC Table

In this video we visit my good friend Nick Pancheau. Nick has taken one of his side table designs to the next level by adding a textured pattern with a CNC machine and he explains to us the inspiration and process in creating the design. 

You can see Nick's work at Pare Furniture+Design and you can follow him on FaceBook and Instagram.

The project design was inspired by Jeff Martin, a furniture maker from Vancouver,  British Columbia, Canada. Jeff has a great portfolio and is getting awards for his designs. You can check out his work at Jeff Martin Joinery. 

You can also follow Jeff Martin on Instagram. 

I hope you enjoy!

Dust Collection Update

It was one year ago that I converted my single stage dust collector into a two stage system. In this video I share the final tweaks and changes to my dust collection system. 

Find out some of the things I did that worked, and did not work, as I modified my dust collector. 

I hope that by sharing my experience, others will find it helpful as they make decisions for their own dust collection system.

I am not affiliated with or compensated in any way by Oneida, I simply like the product and am providing this link for your convenience to see the Super Dust Deputy that I purchased. Click here to see the Super Dust Deputy that I purchased at Oneida's site. At the time of this posting, it appears that the unit I purchased actually is $20 cheaper than what I paid originally.
