Видео

Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing us WHAT you made and WHY you made it! So many videos start off, often without a spoken word, showing us HOW to make something. They think you're going to sit through a whole video of them making something you're not even sure you want to build. Crazy. I have to skip to the end to see if I want to build what they're building. This was a pleasure to watch because I knew in the first minute that I wanted to make my own blast gates just the way you did it. Keep up the good work, and make all your videos this same way, telling us the what & why before telling us the how.

Hello! I saw you using double sided tape for sticking upper and lower wood pieces. Can you tell me which adhesive are you using? Thanks

Just perfect, thanks

Very good sir, thank you.

very interesting simple but workable thank you

Great system! It's working for me!

Very helpful, thank you!

Awesome video!!!

How can it have 2y motors when it have only 1y axis on board ?

Very interesting. Never thought to use the router in that orientation. Thanks, or is it Tanks for sharing.😃

That was a fantastic video, very informative and clear. Thanks.

Great video, very helpful. Also I had to subscribe just to hear that wonderful Irish brogue! Tanks!

Gotta get the "tickness" of the hinge correct

I would add though, it’s important not to forget how to use a a hammer and chisel, as I found out recently on a site that had zero power, so had to use hand tools. I quickly sharpened my chisels and on I went…

Brilliant

GREAT TIPS!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Brazil.

So funny listening to an Irish man speaking English.

Very accurate way of working, know wood well, as he takes small portions out which stop breaking the edges 3 hinge jig is a great idea

Hi Tommy I have watched all your videos on the ooznest and found them very helpfull, I will be placing an order for my machine on Monday and will be using your link, however I have very limited computer skills and no doubt I will be bamboozled by some of the settings I hope you dont mind but would be gratefull for any help you could give me if I do get stuck I will be running the vcarve pro software Many thanks for publishing those videos All the best Bernie

Legend!, first step of the build and you made it easy for me! I slightly modified the idea by drilling into a piece of wood with a 5mm drill bit, then releasing it from the drill and used that to construct the bearings, I also used a slightly larger piece of wood for the 6mm hole to push down to assemble the wheel, I only did this because it was what I had, it worked brilliantly! thankyou!

I have just come across this video and noticed it was published 1yr ago, I am about to purchase one of these machines and was wondering how you rate this unit and are you still happy with it Many thanks Bernie

Every hardware store’s salesperson should refer to and advice your video when selling a router..! Thank you Tommy very well explained..!

I was looking for a tutorial exactly like this one. Thank you 🙏 ..!

Im on the lookout for a reasonable starter / beginner cnc. in your opinion, does this one work well?

well done Mate. Cheers.

Tommy I've got to say that there are RUclipsrs out there with 1000 times your views but half your talent. You deserve a lot more subscribers. I'll keep watching and recommending!

Just brilliant, great detail 🤩

That's brilliant: thanks for sharing. Simple, clever, and effective. I'm trying it soon.

No Centre Hole ?

Thanks for this Tommy, your video is exactly what I was looking for. I'm making a teak box for a very old sharpening stone that belonged to my father. The stone itself is just 12mm so I'll be taking 6mm from each part of the box. I've never routered hardwood so I'm a bit wary and not sure at what speed to run the router. But the bit I'm using is brand new and I've made a jig to contain the router on all sides so I'm ready to roll. Thanks again. Wish me luck!

Hi mate, great video. I've recently finished building my workbee, can I ask you, when you surfaced the spoil board, did you use the touch probe? Or did you just hit go on the programming?

Did you use a 1/4" (6.35mm) rebate cutter? I cant find a metric equivalent. Stumbled across this video. This is absolute genius because of the rebate which stops the panel falling through or needing hinges. Thank you for taking time to share this

Tommy, even CC hears you say cotton and not cutting, so what are we listeners to do with your lovely Irish accent? I mean that sincerely. And I do want to learn from you.

Great design

Brilliant

Thanks and happy St. Patrick’s day to you!

Hi, Tommy! I'm new to using guide bushings. Up until now, pattern and flush trim bits with bearings have sufficed, but now I'm running into situations where trying to make a bearing-bit do the job is just not working. Your video was very easy to follow, so I chose to try it for myself to get familiar with these new guide bushings. I've been confused about one thing -- and it's not getting any better! From what little I've learned, guide bushings can reduce the size of a piece when the pattern is a cutout in a template. Bushings can also expand the size of a piece when the pattern is a solid object, like the off-cut you used to make the insert in the second step of the video. That's where I am getting tangled up. If you use the same router setup for both the first and second steps, the first step reduced the pattern leaving an off-cut which was smaller. Then when using that hole's off-cut to create the insert, if using the same setup, it would upsize the piece by the same offset, right? That's what i experienced when I tested the process myself. I wound up with an insert that was the exact size of the hole the off-cut came from. in fact, the remains from my step 2 was a duplicate of the hole created in step 1. The only way I can see getting an insert larger than the hole is either use a larger guide bush in step 1 than or 2 -- or use the resulting insert from step 2 and repeat that step, increasing the size of the piece two times versus once. Am I missing something basic in your tutorial? I've watched it over and over, and the only thing I can see that would follow my theory is you used a larger guide bush in step #2 to increase the offset and, in turn, the size. Like I said, this is new territory for me. Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Help!! And keep up the great videos. You're a natural!

Pure genius!

Very useful and safe

Thank you for a very clearly explained video. I like your style.....and I also appreciate the lack of music. Cheers.

I've made and used this type of jig for a while. This guy's explanation of the process in making one is really excellent and SO easy to follow. And I had no idea you could use the same jig on the face of the frame. Who would have thought. This is going to save me so much time. Thank you!!

🤙🤙🤙

Very good Tommy, I never thought of storing batteries like this

What a cracking design. So simple and effective. Now I shall look to my charging. Just retiring so most things in boxes in van but you have inspired me Tommy. Good health to you and yours. Bob Weston super Mare)

Tommy, Greetings from Somerset (Where the cider apples grow). Excellent tuition and commentary. Found you by chance. Now to see what else you have done. Bob (Weston super Mare)

Hi Tommy , glad to see you back!

nice project Tommy

Iv always wondered how the whole cnc thing was done, I now have a better understanding. Thanks Tommy for sharing this insight of designing so the cnc knows what to do

Very enjoyable video Tommy I like your design you have a gifted pair of hands

Nice one Tommy as always
