I saw your video today, it's not only informative but it's also to the point.
Thank you and to , other craftsman like you who take out time for making videos to help novices like us .God bless you.
You could also inlay some T-track into the fixed side you run the edge guide against and have easily adjustable stops built into the jig.
It's always great to see such no-nonsense content, especially from a fellow Midlander.
Just had myself a cold one. I earned it my friends. Seriously, your videos are perhaps the best combination of good, relevant woodworking information and entertainment on RUclips.
Great way to widen the face the router stands on, it makes it all possible. Many thanks
TY for the free jig plans. I am on a fixed income so I have to find plans that are free for my shop projects.
Thanks for the free plans. I can't even tell how many times I've referenced your videos for tips just like this.
Innovative thinking in an area that would seem saturated already. That jig is worth trying. And I'd like to add that connecting routers to dust collection makes quite a surprising difference in ability to see your work, keeping your cut clean, and keeping your bit cool.
Still doing free plans. Nice gig I enjoy your videos.
Thank you James. I'm out of my shop for the next year, had major shoulder surgery just shy of a replacement. This is a great jig.
Get well soon!
@@StumpyNubs Thanks James :)
On the left side, where you lined the board up to the edge,
glue a 1 inch piece of wood for 3/4 ply
or 1/2 inch for 1/4 ply
to the edge so that it protrudes 1/4 inch above the base, you will have a natural stop to insure your boards always line up.
Just make sure you clean out any wood chips in that area before placing the next board to be mortised..
I was just wondering about this. Genius!
Indeed it is an amazing and very simple method I have ever seen 👍👍👍
Simple, but effective... I will be doing this as soon as I can get back in the shop.
Simple design that get's the job done. Not quick, and dust build up inside the template is an issue, but a good design.. Thank You..
Thanks for the tips
Thank you for explaining, passing the knowledge and love of woodworking on .
There's another great mortising jig design in Bill Hylton's book "Woodworking With The Router" I've made it and used it on several projects which had mortise and tenon construction. I recommend both the jig and the book.
This is so simple! it is brilliant Many thanks Chris
Thanks once again - it's a nice simple jig and saves you juggling the support pieces in the vise (I always struggle ) ! Downloaded it.I really like this channel - excellent information delivered in a friendly , direct manner.
Top jig James! Thanks for posting!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I always think about everything along the lines "how can this be simplified". Usually simpler is better and more productive.
Fantastic video Mr. Nubs, you do a great job of laying things out in a way that just makes sense. Thank you!!
Why are you such a ..... genius?! Thanks again for allowing me to use less brain power
Stumpy, nice clear explanation, as always. Except - the router bit pic you chose to illustrate is the polar opposite of what you correctly state is the best bit for the job. Shown is a DOWN-cut spiral bit, useful for providing a shear cut that does not lift veneer, but presses it flat to the surface with a clean, no-fuzz result.
I now notice that, of course, I am not the first to point this out.
Great idea
Excellent, some great ideas in this video.
This is so perfect for what I need right now thankyou James!
It was great seeing you in Atlanta Jim!
Thanks, James! I always enjoy watching your videos!
Thanks for the great information James!
I would like to thank you for inspiring me to get into Woodworking as a hobbies with my young son, so we can do something as father and son...have you created a list of tools that should be in the garage for a beginner?...thank you
Cheers James, plans downloaded
Good job again James
Thank you
Cool beans! Can't wait for the continuation!👍👍😎
you're a genius!
Ya, what Frank said...Great video...cheers...rr Normandy
GOOD Work, you do . . . thanks!
I need to make a perpendicular mortise. Is the best way by hand or with a drill press? The jig works great for the parallel cuts.
I don’t understand how anyone can give you a thumbs down. Your videos are the best
Awesome work well done thanks for the awesome help
Always good content
Thanks for sharing that
I do something very similar to that or the one Frid used.
Can't go wrong with any technique used by Tage Frid, rest his soul.
Good video!
Could you use this same technique to cut slots for Dominoes
Why did you make the jig for 3" wide stock, since it is so simple to make I guess I could make a new one of any size when ever I needed it.
It works for 3" and narrower. For wider stock, attach a shim to the top of each fence with double sided tape.
Was there ever a tenon video
Hi Stumpy
Any tips on how to used a fixed base if i dont have a plunge base? Thank you
How did you stick and reposition those stop blocks so easily? Double-sided tape?
nice!
1:42 Did you show a down cut bit rather than an up cut, or am I mistaken.
Do you have a video showing your router edge guide? The PORTER-CABLE 42690 Edge Guide. It looks interesting. Wondering it it can work on other routers. I already have the M Power router guide because of you using it. I love it but it's more fiddly than that Porter-Cable one looks for basic operations.
I love the m power. I use the PC or the Bosch for simple cuts. The Bosch is my favorite but it won't fit on the PC router. You'll have to do a Google search to find out how far apart the holes on a PC router are to know if the guide will fit yours. But I recommend the Bosch if it will fit. It's also on sale right now 1/2 off. Use the link below the video.
Fantastic ! Can you tell me if the Bosch edge guide can also fit Porter Cable hole spacing. Seems that there is a provision for the narrower hole spacing in the PC units but cannot be sure.
No. But the PC guide I linked to will.
Thanks for this video! Just followed the link to order the Bosch router guide. It was on sale for 1/2 price! This video could not have come at a better time for me. Been using a jig of my own with great effect. Question: I have several Whiteside upcut bits (which I love), but I'm looking for a really long one to make mortises for through tenons on a workbench (5+ inches). Zeb Whiteside recommended the 1073-01, but it is not a spiral upcut design. What do you use for super deep mortices? Cheers!
Up cut is best. But if you can't get one long enough, you can get by with straight. Sometimes you can stretch a bit's reach by sliding it out of the collet, as long as you have an inch inside the collet to grip it.
IMHO - a better and cheaper way to go is - get a dowel jig. Dowels are easy and cheap to make or buy - so not spending time on that. Dowels come in various lengths. Dowels come in various diameters. Dowels are a form of "loose tenons". Dowels can be used in through applications. Dowels can be lined up in rows or columns as the need be. If you're in the business - then probably a Festool Domino would be the choice given the speed. For a part-time user - a dowel jig is by far cheaper and allows some different applications.
Better is a matter of opinion (I don't dispute the strength of well done dowel joinery), but how would a dowel jig be "cheaper" than this homemade solution?
@@StumpyNubs First, let me say I enjoy watching your various videos. Second, one can also make a dowel joint jig too - actually cheaper and easier. All one really needs is a couple blocks of wood. I have seen multiple dowel joint jigs on RUclips. A centering dowel joint jig, a dowel joint jig that also can "cross dowel", multiple row jigs, etc. Then one doesn't even need a router (although I have multiple routers). It's just so easy and cheap using dowels and a hand drill. Thanks for responding!
Didn't you show a downcut bit in the closeup?
Wrong photo. I hoped nobody would notice. :)
I noticed.
@@StumpyNubs I noticed too, figured it was just a video production shortcut, like when they reverse the pic of a car in the sales paper, and the steering wheel shows on the s=wrong side sometimes.... But the link goes to the right place, so for the people who don't know, it gets them to the right place. You keep the awesome content coming, and we'll keep justifying your desire to crack open a cold one after you read the comments. :)
Nice job, as always! Maybe my eyes are getting old, but it seems to me that the bit you showed as an uncut spiral is really a downcut? .... Nit-picky, I know, I know! :-).
Wrong photo. I hoped nobody would notice. :)
Very helpful & useful - thanks
👍
Where is the show more button?
It's the down arrow in upper right corner
There ya go... just assuming everybody has a roll of double sided tape...
Just kidding everyone.. easy does it
William Smith I think all the cool guys are using painter’s tape and ca glue. Seems easier to clean up afterwards and cheaper.
Sorry for being blunt, but... How about actually using the dust collection capabilities of your router? If not for your lungs, it also vastly improves visibility, stops chips from clogging up your cut, and keeps your shop cleaner.
It doesn't work very well.
So you're telling me I don't have to spend over $1200 for a German tool (which I won't name here)?
Not first again!? I must be a stalker.....😉
I'm not sure that's an up cut bit...
I used wrong photo. I was hoping nobody would notice. :)
@@StumpyNubs I've been geeking out on CNC and tool and cutter geometry lately so my eyes were a bit more sensitive to it. So don't feel bad at all.
talks about up-cut bit. shows down-cut bit.
I used wrong photo. I was hoping nobody would notice. :)
