Those brackets I would assume wouldn't be good in metal studs though, so what would be the splution?

How do you think the shaper works with making stairstringers?

Someone explained to me why I just watched a video where he doesn’t use spoil board to cut through

Beautiful piece, top workmanship 👍

BUFFALO

Thanks for the video, this by far is the best DIY I've watched. My only question is how would you tilt the camera for height adjustments? Could you possibly create an adjustable stand?

This is great. Looked on shaper hub.. rats, not there.. I’m lazy

Great hobbyist real life advice!

Why does this make me happy? I’m going to have to make one now. Think I will scallop the edges, following the divots.

Great photo booth idea. I'm looking to make something like that for my dj business. Do you have to plans for that booth.

thats a big one car garage

What app did you use?

Great video! Really interesting joint here. I feel very lucky to work at a company that owns a Shaper Origin with Workstation and Plate, i absolutely love using it. One thing that was plaguing my work initially was the support bar that runs parallel to the work surface. Out of the box my support bar clamped slightly high relative to the tape surface so i was feeling a lift when Origin passed over the support bar, i'm sure you can see where i'm going with this. Tenons with very uneven shoulders, tapered gaps when tightened into the mortise.. just bad news. Turns out there is a tiny set screw that can be vertically adjusted to fine tune the 'Z' of where the support bar sits, to match perfectly with your Workstation's tape surface. There is one on the left and right, and will adjust where the 'T' shaped brackets mount into workstation. This set screw needs to be adjusted from below with 2mm Allen if i remember right. (maybe 2.5mm) After about 10 minutes getting that thing perfectly flush the results are night and day compared to before. Vacuum tight joints and a practically milled quality bottom surfaces in the end. Not sure if anyone will see this but it was an absolute life saver for me to learn this so want to share with the world!

DO NOT BUY! I am a veteran woodworker and I purchased a Shaper Origin a year ago. Unless you have unlimited TIME do not buy a shaper origin. It will stay in its case and collect dust. The concept is awesome but the technology is not there yet. IT IS JUST A GIMMICK RIGHT NOW.

would you possibly share the build plans for this

Thank you. The subscription for the price of the tool is a huge turn off for me. I’d rather invest in a stand alone CNC that has greater functionality

Finally a good review on the valid points. I was eyeing with a Shaper back in the day, now it came up again in ads and started to look at it, but man...there is not much content about it on the socials...what I'd look for in it is: "generic" plunge router (flattening mostly), domino replacement (2-in-1), CNC...but while I'd not be able to replace a domino with a desktop CNC, I'm not convinced that I'd enjoy using the shaper. Shaper trace is nice, but it is not tied to having a Shaper (luckily).

Nice idea, congrats and many thanks. A question would be, what is the booth software in order for the iPad to communicate with the DSLR camera?

Thanks for sharing. I know this video came out before they came out with the Shaper Origin Bluetooth calipers. They automatically import your measurements once set up. They are handy.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing some helpful information.

Check out my laser!

New to the channel. The trace frame is an interesting idea. I'd personally rather have a local app. I don't like to be forced online for everything. If their website is down for maintenance, then I can't do my work which I don't like. This also is a bit of real world usage of the router I was looking at. It seems like a handheld cnc but with no real accuracy other than your ability to color within the lines. I thought it may be good for things I can't fit on my CNC, but not nearly as accurate

That wrench tip for drilling straight holes is amazing!

That model doesn't appear to differentiate between various particle size bins like PM10 and PM2.5. Does it come with a chart that connects the numbers to different safety conditions? Not only the accelerant, but the CA glue itself can be extremely irritating.

Thanks for what I think is a very honest review. I'm considering upgrading the size of my CNC and wondered if the Origin would be a good alternative. Great video.

$200 for a feature that should have been in the device from the start? Subscription software is not something I'll ever, ever buy into and I'm a software developer by trade.

i dont have a nail gun. :( what else can i use?

Great job and video!

I loved this one, but the Shaper Origin Walnut box was fantastic. I learned some tricks from you that. I will use for sure, like the joinery….cool. But, the best is the heater for the garage. I was always concerned that a heater could ignite dust in the air. I have a great dust collection system, but dust that accumulates on flat surfaces proves otherwise. How confident are you that the heater will not ignite dust in the air???

I just watched your video and noticed a PorterCable dovetail jig in the background. Do you use this orShaperOrigin for dovetails . Thank you

Cool video man. I just subscribed to your channel. Stop by and say hi at design creations Woodworking.

So what size shop is that I am getting a 16x20 portable garage soon haven't had a shop in 3 years can't wait to get mine started back up

I have the same question.

Sweet

Buffalo native here living on the NC/Va border. Got Shaper and a CNC. Love Shaper. Go Bills! Squish the Fish!!!!!

Go Bills!

You aren’t using the 3M sassing discs right if you’re having issues. I don’t like the mesh because they don’t last if you hit the sides or sand edges. But flat surfaces like cutting boards or table tops, they’re awesome and dust collection is incredible. I think you’re not using the interface pads. It’s stupid that the 3M discs don’t come with at least one

The Shaper is fabulous. But the pay for features is ridiculous. The auto pas should be included in a software update and not be another 200 extra.

Thought I was the only one who had a tool still in the package after a year.

What “white” pencil do you use?

Nice shop, Go Bills!

I hate subscriptions. I'd rather pay for new features or modules if priced affordably. Software updates should be free if they fix bugs or they don't change the functionality of the unit from what it normally does.

Subscriptions have permitted the end of competently built products and rampant greed. When I first heard of the Origin, it seemed cool, but pricey at about $2500. New pricing and subscriptions have ended any remaining interest I had before revisiting.

It's great for small projects, and for big projects it's great for making templates and then use those on the big tablerouter, another advantage is that you can use it for routing on the object in X-Y-Z direction...

I have just got mine too, didn't realise I would need to also to pay a subscription service to get the most out of it, given the price for the plastic frame it should have been a lot cheaper or include the app upgrades in the price

Looks great. You almost have something like the great red spot of Jupiter on the front.

More wood working channels need to be like this. So much of it is just tool marketing, gets old quick. Cheers man

I partly do and partly don't agree with you. In terms of trading time for experience, you're spot on. When you're new, if your time isn't free, you need to figure out how to make that happen because early on, everything will take 10x longer than it will once you've done it a few times. As far as buy once, cry once, I disagree. At some point you're going to realize that there is a HUGE difference between a cheap tool and a good tool and a small difference between a good tool and a great tool. I'd say you damn well better buy, at the very least, a good tool or you're going to hate woodworking and you're wasting your money. IMHO if you're remotely considering woodworking, buy a DeWalt jobsite saw (new or used), Festool Midi dust collector, ETS 150/5 sander and when you can afford it, whatever tracksaw you like and whatever else can come with time. I always tell people, budget 2500 (IMHO a pretty cheap hobby as hobbies go) and see what good/great tools fit within that budget. You can flip that Festool DC and Sander in a heartbeat and sure you'll be out a little money, but think of it as a rental fee. If you think you can build fine furniture without those, you're just kidding yourself. And, without a good dust collector, sanding can damage your lungs FOREVER, so if you can't afford the best, save up as it should be your FIRST tool.

You can simply use your CNC and mill out some 2 mm aluminum and then affix it to the frame on the back. I don't think the depth of field is going to make much difference in that aspect but it would give it some rigidity.

Awesome! Thank you for the reality check. Sage words from an unsponsored fellow Woodworker. I will keep using my old Beaver 4" jointer that I tuned up. Cheers.
