In this video we finish the ladder support mechanism and build. This video is the last one in Ladder build experiment series. We are happy top report that replicating antique ladder experiment was very successful and useful. Along the way we learned that you don't need metal hardware to build sturdy ladder using common wood species. To finish we used Charcoal chalk spray paint that gave us very nice finish. Overall cost of this build was about $34 from which we spend $14 on paint. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe. Visit http://joyofwoodworkinghobby.com/cont... for more information

About:
This channel is created to share my passion for woodworking and build a community to support beginners in woodworking, like me. For me, the woodworking is fun, inspiring and helps me to design, create and relax. By no means I am professional and this is my journey exploring techniques and solutions to various woodworking project challenges and you are invited to check on my progress. I believe in humble beginnings and started this channel with a purchase of a rusty/old table saw (   • Table saw restoration part 1  ) and out of it, I build this nice tool (   • Table saw Restoration part 3  ) that I enjoy using every time. Hard work always produces desirable results and you can see my progress as my woodworking skills improve. My early projects started with building rudimentary tools like Crosscut Table saw sled (   • Making a Crosscut sled  ) that I needed to finish my table saw cabinet. When I introduced my thin strip jig idea (   • Thin strip jig experiment #2  ), there was much discussion in one forum where it was compared with $300 Inca tool and was suggested that I buy that instead. My response was simple, I rather build my tools from scratch or restore old tools just because I love time spent on those projects. Also, you enjoy using the tools that are handmade or restored, more than ones you spent a fortune to buy.
Sometimes I am just frugal and enjoy nice things that I cannot possibly purchase for reasons beyond monetary concerns. Like the time I wanted to buy a set of squares with wooden handles and ended up making my unique own set (   • Making Set of Squares  ). There are lots of videos and projects that promote all wood squares but I think of it as cheating. People who make this beautiful squares from various species of hardwood fail to tell you that they do not age well and need constant adjustments which in my book makes them useless decorative pieces. Projects I work are selected to be interesting and provide unique experience/function like approach to making wooden spheres with a router(   • Router jig for wooden spheres: #2  ). The fun part about this project is that you can substitute the router with some other tool like a chainsaw and make a large sphere, just for fun. Sometimes I am tempted to build something generic, like a wooden box but anyone can do that so I end up building (   • Toolbox for Alcohol Stove Hobby  ) toolbox without nails and Japanese joints. I hope one day to be able to allocate more time to my projects but for now, I am limited to weekends.
