those caps on the end are out of this world. I'm still skeptical about the Titebond, but I can't say it won't work!!. I would have loved to see this installed, but I guess you have the owner to contend with. Great idea, and about your router table: It ain't stupid if it works.
Thanks for watching and commenting on this video. FWIW you can learn how to make those end caps that 'are out of this world' here: ruclips.net/video/d6qdzzbb-ns/видео.html Where Titebond III is concerned, I can tell you straight up: if it makes you skeptical, you're doing it wrong! I've never once had a glue joint fail from failure of the glue. My client would have been fine with me doing a video of the install (which turned out great BTW) but it just didn't work to produce a video during that phase of the project.
I like your videos because they're not "Hey look at what my brand new $15,000 machine can do for me!". You do practical and efficient work. There's nothing here that's just you trying to show off, this is what real woodworking is. There are too many videos/channels that glamourize it past practicality, making things overly complex just for the sake of showing off what they (or often their equipment) can do. This is true craftsmanship, keep it up!
Don't you mean the ... "$15,000 machine that my corporate sponsor gave me"...
I hear you, there are a lot of makers that I have liked. I do want to see them thrive and prosper but there gets to be this point where it goes from being something you can learn from an imitate to being like a tour of a 10 million dollar home, alien and unrelatable.
Showing off a festool tracksaw gets a do not recommend channel.
It’s what I call the Napkin Holder Effect. How many RUclips woodworkers ever build different types of napkin holders? I think maybe Carmichael Woodworks and Steve Ramsey have maybe done one and that’s it. In reality I think we end up making far more napkin holders. It’s an easy project.
@@gregac1984 heello sir
After 30 years of being a carpenter, I’ve learned that guys that need elaborate set ups are no different than guys who drive big trucks…they like to stroke their own egos! Simple and smart saves time and money and is much more satisfying in the end! Your the best carpenter on the tube! Keep the “getto” setups coming Mr. Jackson!
1 minute tips and tricks videos would send this channel to the top
Love your show, those corporate sponsored rookies have nothing on you! I am just starting wood working at 62yrs old, the genius you teach is so amazing. Please never stop.
I love that router table, simple, cheap and does the job perfectly. Simple is beautiful!
Matt Jackson, you are a carpentry and woodworking wizard. The whole intro I'm trying to guess how you "drilled" those holes and then when I saw the solution coming I said, he's not going to ....no, he's not...he can't possibly...he is...he is going to do that! I've seen every one of your videos and all your patron videos and I have to tell you this one is one of the best. There's so much here .....a well thought out project, a genius solution to having to do a build/breakdown/reassemble and perfect execution. So good. Thank you Matt.
Thanks Rick... it was an enjoyable video project all the way through. I appreciate your comment here and, judging by gently applied "thumbs ups" to your comment, others do too! Best, Matt
FWIW The next Patron-only video has a bit of in-depth info showing more about the mortising and drilling procedure along with insight into the dedicated jigs created to make those steps quick, accurate and repeatable...
When my dad worked as a boat engineer in a local fishing village, he watched an old-hand spend several hours sizing up a 12 foot length of oak beam. He needed to pass a propeller transmission bore through it. Finally, he picked up an adze and squared the beam into shape between his feet, then bored a straight hole through the whole damned thing using a hand-cranked auger. We're talking the late 1960's here. I still have difficulties comprehending dad's account, but as a man whose history involved working to 1/1000ths inch as a machinist, he wasn't the sort to exaggerate his testimony. To him, this was the finest display of engineering accuracy he had ever seen. To be fair I believe it to be the ballsiest. I think he saw the last of the old shipwrights draw the last breath in the new era.
In this new era, you have done justice to an old-hand's way. Wonderful video.
Best wishes from Ireland.
Loss of knowledge that dies any time a ledgendary shipwright passes is sad indeed!
Master at work here. Very practical. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Man, you’ve actually made woodworking cool.
Great job. Thanks
My goal is to make woodworking productive, profitable and enjoyable but if I've also made it cool in the process that's... well.... COOL! 😎 Thanks for watching and commenting Thomas... much appreciated!
Best, Matt
Matt does better work in his smaller shop with fewer older tools then a fully sponsored larger shop completely equipped with the latest tools.
Gives me hope. I really love this channel. You got me with creating the holes, I was expecting to see a long boring bar, long drill bit or other clever Mcguyver type setup. After all he previously showed us all how to bore through an 8 inch wall with a piece of wire. Nicely done, thanks for sharing.
That wire trick is something. And I just like his style.
@@anneoreilly4900 Thanks for sayin'! Best, Matt
Love the showmanship -- not splashy, but clever, just like your designs and build process. Thank you for taking the time to film this and share it!!
no snarky comments about your workshop from me. as a retired one man shop, professional furniture maker, i can honestly tell you i have less gear than the youtube amateurs. money put into needless tools in the workshop is money that doesn't go into your pocket. i was interested in your drilling method till you announced how it was done. its a trick i have used myself many times to run wires through desks etc. your right it may be simple but not many amateurs know it.
This is exactly how I figured out to route cables in my lighting projects a few months ago. I'm creating 1" square milled stock and then using a jig to 'drill' a wire channel using a palm router (my channels are 1/4" for comparison). Thanks for sharing, Matt! BTW - I think your router table is freaking brilliant.
It’s awesome to see someone who thinks and makes it easier for people without thousands of dollars worth of tools. Keep the videos coming. Great job.
"Ghetto" router table lol. This is so simple and BRILLANT! I would have pondered this one for days/weeks I'm sure and never have come up with the fix. The mortise and tendon is cool as well. Thanks Matt.
Been using that trick for decades, anytime a project involves rough sawn cedar... necessity is the mother of invention, right?
Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry I've also been using this ghetto router table for years, if not worse (getting the router in the vice, using my hands and a prayer to make a rabbet, etc) it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it gets the job done. Sometimes the space in the shop Is the number one issue, and there simply isn't any real estate to keep a router table at all times. Good job on the holes, and the video, it was enjoyable to see the process.
@@LucasRipetta kudos on makin' due... and thx!!
I’ve been doing this 35 years. 28 years in business. 1 employee for 23 of those and this the best and bout only thing I watch on RUclips.
Nice job. It's far better to watch useful information on a typical $100 router then to watch non repeatable information on a $3000 shaper that the typical person doesn't have access to.
That handsaw trick is a golden nugget.
Thanks Joel... I'm known to say "it's not what you got that counts but how you use it". Fancy equipment is great and all but is just an embarrassment to those who have it and know so little about using it IMHO.
@@NextLevelCarpentry your absolutely right. That right there is wisdom.
I have several of my grandpa's tools in my garage that are nothing more then a motor, and belt. Every time I use them to sharpen my knives or sand a piece of wood it's a lesson remembered.
Keep being yourself and us youngsters might learn a thing or two and recall those lessons later on in life. Hopefully also passing them on.
Nice promisses for being a subscriber. Serenity is all I need for woodworking 🙈😆
I really like a few shorter videos. This length is perfect, thanks
You are a true master! cheers from Toronto Canada!!
I really appreciate your comment about not being a bought off mouthpiece of a corporate sponsor. Thank you for being a truthful unbiased content provider.
That hand saw tip at the end was amazing. Nice tip!
New subscriber today. Learned more in this video than watching 2 years of some of the other You Tube woodworking channels
That's quite a compliment Steven... thank you! I think you will find other videos at Next Level carpentry equally informative but also equally produced by a non-professional video producer. 😉😎
Very clever Macgyver'd hole. Bravo.
Unreal, those are some pretty good tricks. I'm like, three months and two exams away from finishing my cabinetmaking apprenticeship here and they're starting to give me my own jobs. I've managed to impress them a couple times by breaking out some Next Level ideas, so thanks for that.
They say that person needs 7 seconds to like or dislike someone.. Will,it's truth..I knew that i'm gonna gently press that like and subscribe buttons...Love your whole style..Greetings from Croatia!
Personally I think your ghetto router setup is a great idea. There's nothing like waking up first thing in the morning, sitting down with my coffee and watching wood working videos. It's like my morning coffee to go along with my morning coffee. You should release all of your videos first thing in the morning and just call your channel "Matt's Morning Wood." Pretty genius, right?
Well Matt, I had seen that "drill" trick before, but it's still nice to see it done. The rustic recreation with the cheap saw - now that is new to me. Brilliant as always, buddy. Gonna remember that for the future. Always learn something from your vids. You should write a book on tips like these. I'd be right in line for it.

Practical, workman-like, repeatable advice is what you are all about. It comes through that you are making a living off of the carpentry. I love many of the content makers, but I like watching a professional do the work. Ballet in the shop!!
Your experience, wisdom and presentations are truly appreciated. Thank you sir!
“Necessity is the mother of invention”. - Figuring stuff out and work arounds is what it’s all about!!!
You, sir, just earned yourself another subscriber. Love your style and your techniques are smart and really accessible by novice woodworkers like myself. We need more like you. I mean I also like the ones of have two million dollars worth of top end tools, but I think we all know, most of the time we're just watching those for what we WISH we could have and do. It's guys like you who show us how to get things done in our own shops.
I gently caressed the like button.
I gotta say, I am more than impressed !
Ty for sharing the tip.
Like a great detective story... had me sitting on the edge of my seat!
Hello Matt, I am known as Boyd. I have a little over 60 years in this woodworking trade, everything from from the ground up home building to furniture. No matter where the sawdust is from I love it. New in the trade folks are sometimes cruel but that is just a form of flattery, jealousy is painful so they must act childish. I am sure you have heard the old adage " when you do the best you can with what you have, no one, anywhere. can do better". At or around age 70 I found myself believing the only person I absolutely must impress is me, life is sure easier that way. Keep up the good work, some of us appreciate quality when we see it.
You know... I've never even considered using this kind of method... I didn't even guess what you were going to do until the router was mentioned, then it clicked.
Awesome tip. You earned my like.
This was a great tip, Matt! Thanks for another excellent "next level" production!
You are proud of your self and your solutions to various problems, and you should be. The values we get from your channel with your clever ideas and very good explanations! It is very generous of you. That router table set up, for instance, adds value, not the opposite. Many of us cannot afford anything else. Thank you Matt.
Brilliant. Mind blowing. Mostly the retexturing with the cheap saw. I’m pretty sure my mouth dropped. Always appreciate your videos. Very much look forward to them. Thanks for your teaching!
Well Matt, you sold me about three minutes in. I subscribed and will be watching your new shows, and going through your video archive. I've done woodworking all my life, and every time I touch a piece of wood, learn something new. You've already made me better at what I enjoy.
That's neat, and I like your approach and style. Not just the technique but the little finishes. I noticed your sign that "efficiency is intelligent laziness."
Guess you gave an admirable demonstration of that.
Well done and thank you.
Nice to see you again.
I’m pleased ht your solution to make centered holes in long boards is exactly what I thought of doing on a similar project.
The shallow mortises solve a host of problems and were a master stroke. I always appreciate that you use fairly low tech techniques to produce elegant solutions. I believe they call that craftsmanship.
Thanks for sharing.
beautifully straightforward, as usual. these videos are always worth the wait
I love your bunk bed ladder design. And your core drilling solution, and your pyramid plug, and your HD router table design. I guess you could say I love your video!
Hi
this one has puzzled me for a long time. As always, experience, the willingness to think things through KNOWING there's a good solution, and then the generosity to share it freely is a powerful mixture. Love the lashed-up router table!
Thanks :)
One of the GOATs of carpentry.
Another great video from a real craftsman. Great delivery and your air play just made me laugh out loud. What an amazing build and the customer lucky to have found you.
Wow! Two massive tricks learned in one video! Thanks a ton. This stuff is gold.
Thanks for taking the time to show us your tricks and tips
Outstanding video, Matt. Not only do you have a simple way of making those holes but the clamping, glue clean-up inside and outside the board is smart. Thanks for adding to my knowledge.
I really enjoy your content, honest and real and no shill reviews. That "ghetto" router table is just a clever way to overcome obstacles and solve problems as they arise. Great stuff and great tip, don't need to do this now but will be super useful to have seen and remember when the day comes - and it always does! Thank you :-)
Never stop teaching... so I can never stop learning! Always appreciated, and FYI, bad one-liners are part of the reason I'm here. I like many of the other channels too, but very few can touch your craftsmanship.
I have been a work worker for many years and you never know it all. It's nice to be able to see an excellent wood worker solve a sound method of assembly after a great design. Keep up the great work and videos.
To date this is my favourite project.
I spent a couple nights trying to figure how to work this one out on a couple floor lamps...heaven sent...looking at it this morning, thank you so much for the tip....yes sir...I´m drinking a cold one on your behalf... thanks for the videos
Should work like a charm for a floor lamp! FWIW it's fun to make an extra piece to show people when the project is done to see if they can figure out how you did it😎 have fun with your project...
Best, Matt
You're smart!! That's a brilliant solution to a vexing problem!!
That is going to be crazy strong, really impressed with this whole process, thanks for the video!
Matt you always have it under the sleeve. and i have learn a lot from you and it has make me better at woodworking, keep them coming , your ideas on taking any project are unique and u always find a way to do it.. 💯👍🇧🇿 yo
I haven't heard "how 'bout them apples" since I left Wisconsin decades ago. Thanks for the memory.
Genius idea! A simple solution to a complex problem.
Always a privilege learning from you. Greatly appreciate you making these videos and sharing your knowledge!
You had me at efficiency is intelligent laziness, I live by those words
Thanks James... glad you didn't get thrown off by my spelling error like some viewers have...😎
I am always taught something new whenever I watch. You commentary lightens up the SERIOUSNESS. I remodel homes for a career. Cool stuff is always needed. I looked around for a 6 foot long spade bit. Hmmm? No I don't need one. Thanks. On to the next level.
Like how you saved the 6x6 post material.
The router techniques were awesome.
I couldn't wait to see how you did it! Love your method. Thanks for teaching me another way, a good method , a work-around for a special situation .... another satisfied student / subscriber
What an idea and I was wondering about the squeeze out within the hole, nicely done
As a musician, I think the phrase “plowing this groove,” has been permanently ingrained in my mind now!
I think the correct spelling in this application is "ploughing" in case you want to do an edit before the phrase becomes ingrained incorrectly😁😎
Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry in this case both plowing and ploughing fit the bill!
But good catch! Could have been much worse. Ill deal with any fallout and remember the difference between meanings/spellings for sure!
@@jbrowne730 Sorry... hope I didn't come across as 'Mr Literal' over such trivia... I enjoy your easy going sense of humor on such matters...
WOW!!! This is awesome! First of all, your demo of the long holes is a game changer for me but the pro tip to rejuvenate the “rough sawn” look is invaluable as well. I also quite like your vertical glue up technique and the use of the shavings/dust to better hide the glue joint. Thank you for sharing your 45 years of knowledge!
I do some casual woodworking here and there. I think that your channel is my discovery of this year. Your patents are invaluable. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and commenting... I really try to pack as much a real-world practical Woodworking and Carpentry information into videos here on the channel as I can with hopes it will benefit viewers like you...
@@NextLevelCarpentry These tricks are logical, but one might have trouble coming up with them in the first place. With woodworking profession fading away (sadly), your efforts might help others learn stuff by themselves, or at least get some useful inspiration.
If you don't have the right tool. Make the right tool. Call it what you want, I like it.
What a great tutorial. I watch a lot of videos when I'm preparing to do a project or when I'm unsure how to construct something the best way. I never would have thought to use this method but you solved my dilemma. Thank you so much for sharing. For that you get a like and subscribe. Keep up the great work.
Love you attitude and sense of humor, thanks for the video!!
And i want to note that i love your camera work and hijinks
Thanks for another video with (as I've come to expect) a unique and clever solution to an "impossible" problem.
Very clever way to "bore" perfect holes in long stocks. Yout techniques are very unique and most often the best option to achieve what appears to be a difficult task. Your videos are not only informative but also very funny too
Very creative and practical use of all tools involved Sir. The "disposable" saw re-texturing tip was somewhere between the 6th and 10th tip you threw down. I am re-learning carpentry after a break and I am glad to have found your channel. You earned a new subscriber and a fan. Looking forward to the install video next! Thank you for being genuine and direct!
that rough sawn match trick is awesome! You are awesome at what you do!
Matt, Thanks for your videos. I enjoy them very much a lot of times I learn new things from you and sometimes I have used some of the same methods myself. As an old builder remodeler, myself and building special built ins you come across challenges that need a way to accomplish. Well, we do it. John in Missouri Valley Iowa
Smart idea, love your insight and approach to some difficult issues in the shop.
I watch this video over and over…love your work
Glad to hear it... FWIW there's a lot of other videos on the Next Level Carpentry Channel so I hope you find more that you like to watch 'over and over'?
Best,
Matt
It is clear that you really enjoyed this project. This is one of your best. A simple elegant solution nicely executed with loads of nice added touches. The end caps for joinery and the saw techniques go into my mental files for future projects Near as I can tell, what you do has provided you with a good living so you owe no one any justifications. None.
Absolute genius!! I love your videos! Keep up the good work
As usual.....your methods are brilliant. Thank you so much for your videos, well presented and full of new ideas. I learned a lot today!
Thumbs up was gently tapped. Thanks for this awesome trick!
Very clever and practical solutions that I never would have imagined. Great content.
Excellent job, love your teaching and humor.
I as well spent 45 years as a 3rd generation carpenter and really like your videos! I've learned a few things from watching your videos! I love learning more!
As others have said thank you for the way real woodworkers accomplish a task by using the tool between their ears also the fact you are a craftsman rather than a latest and greatest tool hacker . Skill and knowledge make the difference
Absolutely Brilliant! 👍 45 years of experience is very valuable.
Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. It's greatly appreciated.💥
Matt Excellent Video. Appreciate your creativity in these projects but especially what I call the Old Way of life. Demonstrating you don’t need expensive equipment to do these projects. You have helped me on my learning curve and approach to other methods by showing me/us a few life tricks. Again Thank You.
Hi Matt
Of course another tip at Next Level ingenuity.
Thx again
Darrell
Matt, I'm glad you posted this. I came to the same conclusion and was wondering if there was another way. Seeing a pro provide the same answer
Drilling very deep holes has always been an impediment to various projects in the past. Thanks for your great out-of-the-box thinking on how to solve that problem. That alone tells me that you truly have decades of experience. Thanks for the education and great ideas.
No complaints about the joinery or engineering.
Excellent way to make it happen Matt.
In my climate we still dig up a few pump logs, cedar logs five inch around with a two inch hole drilled end to end, typically a ring of inch by eighth mild steel is driven onto the ends to keep them from splitting when driven together.
My neighbor has the the ' cast in place bearings' machine that among its multiple functions has a PTO at knee hieght to drive these auger bits 54" into the log.
Love your thought process. An ingenious idea for those long thru holes. An idea I will shamelessly borrow.
I like the play on words on your sign, also the techniques and setup are clever. Thanks for sharing this info!
Nice design and presentation Matt, this bed will definitely last forever. When you started i was intrigued and anxious to see the magic way you're going to drill a hole in such a long member.
Such an incredible video. So much that is so good about this video that I don't even know where to begin. I'll keep it short and simply give it a 100 out of 10. Production value of video is super high quality. Whoever does your editing gets a gold star. So good!!! Thanks for posting!
