The pantorouter can sure to more things but when it comes to joining sheet goods and ease of use and short set up times the domino is a totally different beast.

Btw, I own a domino and at the...

I wouldn't say it's needed, all the scoring cuts are made in a few minutes even without a radial arm saw. But I agree it could speed up things a little for some templates, although a sliding miter...

Go ahead, well worth the effort and it's a quite simple build. Don't miss the seperate video about the fence flipper, it's a very nice to have feature.

Works ok for single cut-outs with square corners but the method I showed is much more versatile and works for all kind of odd shapes.

Hi!

This method is so simple, fast and accurate that it should be well known but looking around the internet that doesn't seem to be the case. Start with layouting the hole you want to have in...

I would say this is a cut much better suited for a router table than a jig for handheld router. Clamping a dado jig to a narrow piece like a drawer side is not super simple, and it should be...

It's cutting against the feed direction. Cutter rotates clockwise if you stand on the side of the planer with your infeed table to the left.

Maybe the longer aluminium ones but the short ones are supposed to only hang on the tables, no leg support....

I'm not super impressed by the bed extensions. At least mine tilts downwards when loaded with something heavy, which is pretty much what I need them for, lighter things I often can handle without...

I gave away my Tormek a few years ago, found it way too slow for my need which is to form the primary bevel on chisels and plane irons. It was ok for smaller cross sections like narrow chisel or thin...

If you have a 1750 rpm grinder with CBN wheel you will find the Tormek extremely slow in comparison. The Tradesman can run at much higher speed than the Tormek. I guess the Tormek water bath is more...

Not sure that's a good idea. The main reason the routed t-tracks (or dovetail tracks if using microjigs clamps) survives is that you clamp directly on top of the track, supporting the track from...

I would say you need to reach a certain volume before the toggle clamp beats routed in clamps in terms of speed. Routed in clamps are slightly more time consuming to operate if cutting many pieces,...

I have had routed in rail clamps in my sleds latest 10+ years and use the clamps frequently, I would say daily when I'm in the shop. My previous sled was 12mm and had routed through t-tracks, they...

I've used black valchromat on my assembly table many years before starting my youtubechannel. I find it really pleasing and relaxing to the eyes and workpieces and their details are easily spotted...

Jays talk about varying finger widths inspired/challanged me to try out some patterns and varying finger widths the latest days. If you are into these kind of joints with variations this jig will...

Hi Jay,

As mentioned, if the blade is imperial or metric thickness is of no importance. Boxjoints are cut in metric numbers (very important) and control wheel indexes metric no matter if the blade...

I see very few advantages of those designs using a guide bushing and movable top compared to the dual fence Warner design a few posts up. Of course with the tweak to have a large reference surface...

Thanks Chris and Mike. Simple idea but very useful, really recommend this.

Yes the cauls will take more storage room with the feet on, but you can move the feet to a position where they can be...

Ok, thanks for the link. I would say those are quite different to mine, more of work elevators than cauls. Nothing wrong with that but mine does more things.

Thanks Andrew, haven't seen Jays myself so can't compare with his idea but my clamping cauls have defenitely made life easier when it comes to glue ups. When I made these they were primarily for...

Don't know if this is new but I haven't really seen anything similar before. Small thing I came up with a few years ago and have turned out to be very useful in different kind of glue ups.

The...

No CNC needed, the solution is just as you did to drill the screw holes in both pieces slightly bigger than nominal. All cross dowel screw holes are oversized in the plans, but if you swapped metric...

Good points...except for the metal lathe thing:). I have one (actually two but I will sell the old one when the new is in working condition) and I use it frequently even if I'm a pure woodworker. I...

Don't remember all iterations in detail but I give some highlights what changed during the years.

Used to have a "miter saw wall", pretty much the only tool that could be on that wall since it...
