casual woodwork
Добавлен 7 фев 2023
I am an amateur woodworker who started the hobby when I retired. I have no previous experience and was encouraged to start this channel to show that, with the right tools, it can be done. If I can do it, you can do it.

Newbie here, this is just what I needed for some frames I’ve been wanting to make in my workshop. Thanks for sharing such great videos.
Thank you. I try to make the films short with all the information needed to make the project.
Has all the tool no experience?😅
Benefit of a works pension! Thirty years in the police, twenty years of which working dogs both general purpose and drugs/firearms. For an amateur like me, good tools make all the difference.
Nice project.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you
🫣
The coach bolts look like a better option. Great work
I had to transport it to my daughter in a hatchback and then re assemble it😊
Awesome work great job and great idea keep it up we need more people like your self who’s not afraid to try anything
Thanks
That looks lovely we might make that sometime for our garden
😊
This time I'll use woodprix instructions to make it by my hand :)
I thank you very much for your time and knowledge to share the analysis of the machine, thank you again, God bless you, Master! Greetings from the city of Tehuacan, in the state of Puebla, in Mexico.
So sorry for the late reply. Thank you for your kind comment. From a wet and windy UK to a sunny Mexico.
For longer boards that need a series of dowels along its length you could make a peg with a rod and stick it the last hole and hold the edge of the doweler againist the end of rod. That is want the dowelmax uses with their jig.
Good idea, thank you.
The way you use your router table is an accident waiting to happen. But I think this is a great project.
Difficult to do it any other way, but you are right I need to be more careful.
How about routing the long edges of the board before before cutting them into shorter lengths? Then you just need to rout the ends, allowing you to keep your fingers a safer distance from the bit.
Sweet 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍
Too bad about your selling website, for free plans!
Not sure what you mean. I don't have a web site and I don't sell anything.
Retired myself. You have inspired me to give it a try myself.. Thank you!
Thank you. I was lucky, when I retired I was able to buy some good tools which I think makes all the difference. I also learned a lot from Steve Ramsey's woodworking for mere mortals channel. He was my inspiration.
Perfect Work! Thank you for the video.
Glad you liked it.
Got the grizzly branded version of this (they’re all made from the same Chinese factory). The top fence was complete misaligned to the drills, meaning it can’t actually join boards straight. Only had it out of the box for 2 hours and had to pack it back up for return
I have read a lot of comments about the accuracy of the dowler, however it is cheap for what it does. I use it with my trusty joint genie.
Hi, the alignment plate can be unscrewed and adjusted to right position. Another easy way is to remove it and align without plastic plate. Hope it can help.
Thank you for the advice
Music is too loud.
If you buy the two boards together and make a line you will get more accurate lines than you do by measuring.
Good tip
Joining with only two dowels is easy. However, if you put a dowel into every hole, then precisely locating the doweling machine on the marks becomes vitally important. Dowels are not loose fitting, and any discrepancy in the holes will accumulate along the length of the joint. This is where dominos and biscuits are much more forgiving.
I don't disagree. That's why I kept my joint genie. I am very much an amateur and try to keep things simple. I made my workbench using the joint genie with banks of 6 dowels in some of the joints all of which lined up. I don't think that would have worked with the dowler. However, for small joints requiring a couple of dowels the dowler is easier and quicker. The problem with a biscuit joiner is strength where dowels win hands down so I have read.
Hi how long is the top support on the legs which will take the arm rest. I hope this makes sense
There is a link to the plans in the description www.freewoodworkingplan.com/double-patio-chair-2/ It is not my design, I made a couple or so modifications but the measurements are the same. If you still need help, please ger back to me.
Great job. Love it
Thank you! Cheers!
I am going to make one of these, cheers for making the video. I made a bench last year but it isnt as good as this one.
Thanks. Enjoy the build.
Спасибо за видео, сделаю именно такое кресло,
You are welcome. Please enjoy your build.
👍😎👍 i subscribe !!!! 🤩
Thanks.
very satisfying to watch.
Thank you
Hola! 🖐Greetings to you from very SUNNY☀Southern California - Los Angeles area. Really nice build👍, I'll have to give it a try. I have a nice spot in the backyard where this might look good. Take care sir and have a good one, Adios!👊
How about I swap you some of our Welsh rain for your Californian sun.😊 That said, it is a nice sunny day here at the moment. Rain tomorrow.
@@casualwoodwork haha! 😂You take care and enjoy your retirement as well as your projects. Adios! 🖐
Nice video - it gives me hope as a beginner!
Thanks, I hope you enjoy building it.
Hello, where can I get the tool that you used with the drill to place the armrests so that the drill bit makes the hole straight and what is its name?
I got it from Axminster tools here in the UK. It is called the Axminster drill guide bit. I know they also sell it on Amazon UK.
Good morning to you from sunny South Wales..honest...it is. Just came across your channel and subscribed. Like yourself I'm retired and just started taking my time and making thing out of wood..Fabulous hobby and so relaxing...pssst...it keeps me out of the house..🤪. Keep it up. Jeff..👍👍
Hi Jeff, I know how sunny it is in south Wales today because I live here as well. The hobby keeps me busy and out of the wife's way. Never been busier, loving retirement just wish the body worked as well as it did 30 years ago!
@casual woodwork yep. You're right. The mind is young but the body is old..ish. Cardiff myself, are you local?
North west of Swansea.
Looks better than the Triton which I have and is absolutely rubbish why they keep selling it I don't know ,the damage to the brand is phenomenal,keen to try your one
Hi David, I am no expert and have never used any other dowler other than the joint genie. That said, it suits my needs used alongside the joint genie.
The problem I foresee is where you are joining wider boards. Any discrepancy is made worse by the number of dowels. So okay for two dowel joints, but the more dowels the more chance you have of problems. Also where you are using sight lines for alignment even half a mm can be problematic on hard wood. Pine & cheap ply you can probably pull the dowels over to fit one or two inaccurate holes. I too have the dowel hole jig you have. The problems I find with that is it does not centre and you have to be able to think about a mirror image for the mating board.
It is all about cost I suppose. The igooo is cheap and cheerful and suits my needs. I agree with your comment about the joint genie, you have to be so careful when using it.
We need someone to invent a tape measure with upside down numbers. Thanks for a great video
Not a bad idea.
It starts with u
Thanks for the review!
I hope it was useful.
Looks like it's good enough for its price, unlike the Triton that is overpriced for its quality and underpriced for its ambition, so it falls short of being a Mafell rival
For a professional it would probably fall short but for an amateur such as myself it ticks all the boxes.
New subscriber... I love you style and simplicity...the igoo dowler brought me to the channel
Thank you.
Is this better than a biscuit jointer?
I have never used a biscuit joiner, from what I have read, the dowler creates a stronger joint. I am more than pleased with the dowler.
Different joints. Biscuits are primarily about alignment and don't add strength. Dowels are a sort of fixed tenon and may add strength, especially in MDF. Back in the day, glues were nowhere as strong as today, so we used tenons and mortices, floating tenons, and dowels. Modern glues are stronger than the material, so compared to old days, you often don't need any extra linkage between surfaces. I'd use biscuits to align panels in the same plane and dowels for panels at right angles. If I had the cash, I'd get a Domino, but I don't. And there are pocket screws almost as cheap as dowels
Can you give the dimensions of the product?
You can find a link in the description for the plans. I made a few minor alterations to the design but the dimensions are the same.
Nice i love it
Thank you
How are your thoughts now after some time? Still recommended? Ofcourse we all want the festool domino jointer but so freaking expensive
I really haven't had chance to use it again. However, when I did it met all my expectations. I am not a trained carpenter or cabinet make just hobiest and as such it met all my needs.
Would you be able to tell me the distance between the two holes the igooo makes?
Distance between the two centres is about 32mm.
@@casualwoodwork thanks 😊
great work! thankyou for the plans...i'm going make this when the weather picks up
Thank you. I can't take credit for the plans though, I found them on freewoodworkingplan.com. I made some modifications to the the one shown in the film. It was my third build. I made one for myself, then my son wanted one and then my daughter. I used bolts instead of screws to enable me to transport it and re-assemble.
@@casualwoodwork some great little projects on there. i'll need to transport so that advice will help me. you'll have to come out of retirement if the orders keep flying in! the view is beautiful from your office!
