Now I know the difference between the usual bedside table offered everywhere and real woodworking. I will buy the course on the Guild site and give it a go. Thanks
Nicely done Darrell! I really enjoy your content. I ordered the Origin earlier this week primarily for joinery and also using it to make finger joints on G&G drawers. I was thinking of using a pointed roundover bit in the Origin for pillowing the ends of the fingers. I will have to experiment to find out when it arrives. Steve
Thank you for always being so generous with your knowledge, skill and downloads! I have, indeed, purchases a couple of your plans from Wood Whisperer and a template from you. THANKS A MILLION!!
Darrell... thanks for another informative video. Looks like you graciously passed out some of your secret skills. Thank you for that. Thanks also for the SVG. I’ll give it a go just to see where I end up. I’m not using the SO for much joinery or work like you are demonstrating. I love hand sanding. I work in my shop late at night when the air is cool. Nothing like listening to the crickets and hand sanding.
You're Welcome! I'm like you but at the other end of the day. I love getting out in the shop in the very early morning when all is quiet and there's no distractions.
Hi Darrell. Nice work, as usual. I downloaded the Ribbon Pull file from your website and unzipped it, but only 3 files are listed. A JPG file, a DXF file, and a Microsoft Edge file showing a ribbon pull drawing but no SVG file. What do you suppose I am doing wrong? Scott Tews
An easy way to avoid cutting a completed pocket is to turn it into a guide ( a guide never produces a tool paths, and is the lowest priority when selecting )
A question for all those who can relate to my issue. I’m 68; been an amateur woodworker for 45 years plus but am barely computer literate. Okay, I know a bit more than switch on and off; I’m pretty good at excel spreadsheets but the Shaper Origin frightens me. By that I mean, it’s a big old chunk of money for anyone and will my admitted lack of patience mean I give up on it before I see rewards. It then becomes a very expensive paper weight. Am I worrying over nothing; is it easy to pick up; are there good tutorials for us oldies (Shaper Origin for Dummies)?
I am 71 yo - and not by nature a tech guy. But I appreciate what tech can do, so I dive into that world and absorb only enough to get by. I have several techie friends I rely upon to help me out from time to time. The Shaper Origin is quite easy to understand. I also have a CNC machine . While the SO is much easier to operate - it is also limited when compared to my CNC.
Awesome video

Thanks Steve, Let me know how the roundover bit works.
Nice to see you using a SO, as I own one as well, I’m always looking for new uses. :). Well done (again).
Thanks, Michael!

Great craft and much improved video editing! Thanks a lot!
Thanks, Amol. The video editing is still a work in progress - I am getting better but still have some improvements to make.
Hi Darrell,
My bad.
I now see that the Edge file is actually an SVG file.
All should be well now.
Thanks, Scott Tews
Yes - that confused me at first too.

Thanks Sam - great tip!
