Awesome video Joe, makes more more excited every day. Should have all the materials tomorrow, and then just waiting on the kit to start!

Sorry for the quality of the video, I was hoping it would be better, my 1st video so its a learning experience, hopefully you get the just of it.

i thought it was great, a picture says a thousand words, a movie says 100X that! The quality of the video isn't your fault its the google video compression they force on our videos. I have an HD camera and the quality looks the same as yours when I post them online. The content was just fine don't be so critical of your own work!! Although i'm alwasy told that i'm my own worst critic, i guess thats prolly universal! You did great and I look fwd to seeing more video. The only way around the quality is if you have your own website and don't mind using up the bandwith, but that can get pricey in a hurry, I say the google video is just fine!

Fantastic video - I can't wait to see the next video showing it cutting the MDF (or even some aluminum). I've been following along for a while - I really like how the design turned out.

I like your video Joe.
A couple of questions.
Your homemade seperator, did you make the top or purchase one of the plastic ones like Rockler and others sell?
What type of USB keypad are you using as a pendant?
You might want to try some of the strip brush from Mcmaster for your collector. I find it works really well and it does not block your view as much as you might think.

I made mine. http://www.woodcraft.com/articles.aspx?articleid=408

The key pad is just a targus key pad.

Have links to skirts?

type "strip brush" into the search box on the left. Mcmaster must hide all their pages behind java or something, the www.mcmaster.com never changes.
The aluminum mount channel is at the bottom of the page. I think I used 3/16" x 7/32" backing 2" brush and matching channel in style "4" .

Nice Video. I thought you would be older

We posted an additional 10 pieces of the surplus #25-5010 x 72" T-slot extrusions to the eBay store yesterday. I believe 7 are remaining. They may have some light surface scratches that won't have an impact on your application. You can find them in the store ( http://stores.ebay.com/8020-Inc-Garage-Sale?refid=store ) by typing 25-5010 in the Search box. Sorry for not providing a direct link - this link has a referral code that gives us credit against our eBay fees. By using it, you save us money so we can save you some...

There was a large factory order that resulted in some remainders that may be long enough for the project. I'll post the info if/when its confirmed that the pieces will work for the Hybrid build.

Outstanding video Joe. Very good job. Keep'um coming.

I am buying parts for your 4x4 a little at a time. I don't see how this one could be much better than your 2006, other than the size . I love my 2006.

By the way, you're not as ugly as I had pictured you (I'm sorry, I could not pass that up). But you're definitely not as old.

Thanks for the video,
Doug

Thank you for the compliments, I wish the video quality would have come out better.

Well I may be a little older than you think at 44.

Also the 80/20 has 7 of the pieces of the 72" at 47.99 now, also he found some at 70.5" which will work, instead of placing the motor mount 2" inward you can place it flush with the 80/20 end and just extend the pulley idler out the same amount to line the belt up.
