Great show Kenny. I really enjoyed it. I had not heard of determining the screw gauge by measuring the head before, so that was a plus for me! Enjoyed watching your build and use of the right-angle guides too. Have seen pictures of them but not in use. Thank you for the time to take to produce these shows. - Barry
Another really good and helpful video Kenny. I really like the part about the screws. That will be handy down the road to know. But what I really liked was the panel glue up using the dowels. I have had problems in the past with panels warping on me and the next one I do there will be dowels used in it. That one makes perfect sense, but I probably would have never thought of it. Thanks buddy for another winner!!!!
Glad that you were able to take something positive away from the show Jim. That's what the show is all about. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your comment.
Another 22 minutes (ish) of my time put to good use! One thing I am about to try for transferring patterns to workpieces for my scroll saw is self-adhesive parcel labels. These are available (at least here in Australia under the "Avery" brand) as a single full page label per sheet. Ours are A4, but you should be able to get an imperial size to suit your printers. They can be printed with laser or inkjet. I've printed one in magenta, as I think it will be easier to differentiate between cut and uncut parts of the pattern. Now all I need to do wait is until the weather cools down so I can can get into the shop to finish my table saw tenoning jig so I can finish building my scroll saw table so I can try it out!
I've heard of some people using these sort of labels for their scrolling Barry and I have to be honest and say that I've never tried it personally. I'd be interested to know how it works out and how easily the pattern is removed after scrolling. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for the kind words. It's appreciated. Here's hoping the weather cools down soon. If you like, you can come here to Canada.....it's -30 degrees C today. (yes I said negative 30)
Great tips and tricks, the box square tool is something I have made I have from 3" to 6", I usually notch 1/2 circle on the outside and 3/8 circle on the inside so I can use them either outside of the box glueup or inside there are times when I would use 2 or 3 to make sure that the drawer or box are square, I even bought small cheap 4" clamps and epoxy the square to the clamp so I don't have to fumble with spring clamp. Works great fow me, thanks Ken I never knew about transferring a pattern with a flat iron I alway have a box of carbon paper in my desk drawer
Glad that you liked the show Alan. It sounds like you are already well ahead of me on the glue up squares. I like your idea of the hole inside and out. That's a great tip. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to chime in with your comment. It's appreciated.
Great tips. For your next episode, you could experiment with these ideas. If you have problems getting the cut out removed from a hole saw, try driving a screw into the cutout portion. When the screw hits the base of the hole saw, it will push the cutout out of the saw easily. There are many videos showing how to make CA glue accelerator using Baking soda and isopropyl alcohol. I think many would benefit from this cheap easy idea if you use a lot of CA glue
Some cracking tips there Kenny especially the screw heads one, and the little squares one at the end, roll on number 7 Take Care and Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)
Quite a few people have this same problem Scott so you aren't alone. Calibration of your equipment is key to getting anything square. I'd be starting on that first. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
1. Ironing for transfer. What about an ink cartridge printer? 2. The little plywood squares. I use a bandsaw and except for a corner hole I would use a small chamfer. 3. Screw sizes. What a great way to find the gauge size! Screw head diameter in 16th x 2 + 2. Thank you!
Steve, the transfer method does not work with ink jet printers. It has to be something that uses a powdered toner like a laser printer or a photocopier. The photocopier works better than a laser printer but I had to rock what I had. It sounds like you already had a great method for the plywood squares. A chamfer would also do the trick. Glad that you liked the screw size calculations. It's a pretty neat trick. Thanks for tuning in this week and taking the time to leave you comment. It's appreciated.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge I am always amazed and totally appreciate the simple knowledge! I love your circle template, but have not been able to find one with as many sizes like your 😊
I got mine at an art supply store. They have a little more specialized items. Check your local area for art supplies and hopefully, you will be able to locate one that has just as many holes. Thanks for tuning in Julie.
There are definitely some beautiful figured woods out there and curly maple is one of them. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. It's appreciated.
@@1803cannon I can honestly say that I have never used them. I have always preferred the natural colouring of wood versus getting colour in my pieces via dyes. I'm not apposed to dying wood. It's just not something that I have ever had a desire to do.
Got ya. It’s only recently I started using them. I’m a big fan also of just clear coating wood. On figured wood, a clear coat really make the chatoyance of the figure stand out. The main reason I started playing with dyes is the difference in the soft and harder grains in a piece of wood take the dye differently. I have a friend that finishes high end furniture down here in Connecticut. His go to finish, applied with a HVLP sprayer, is first to shellac the furniture and then it with lacquer. I listen to every word he has to say about finishing.
@@1803cannon I may give them a try one day but I would need a project that really cried out to be dyed. I guess I just haven't found that crying project yet. LOL.
Kenny, I always enjoy your shows, thank you. Can you tell me where I can get that measuring tool that you fit your pencil point into while making the corner jig?
The device you are asking about is called a T-rule and they are made by INCRA. I got mine at Lee Valley Tools www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/marking-and-measuring/rules/58877-incra-t-rules but you can also get them directly from INCRA.com if you like.

A very successful show! Liked the whole ball of wax! Question: What did you use to cut your glue-up squares out so they would be square? Big Thumbs Up! Take care!
These ones are for the inside corners of boxes so only the outside edges of the square needs to be perfect. I cut those at the table saw using my mitre fence to make sure that they were perfectly square. I hope this helps Michael. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
That screw gauge is from Lee Valley. I've had it for a few years and it's been really useful on many occasions. Here's a link. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/workshop/tool-maintenance/51784-machine-screw-gauge?item=99K0811 I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
It’s so annoying to me when you give a tip that hits me square in the forehead! I’ve dabbled in home machine shop stuff for a couple years, and one of the first thing I learned (RUclips - Thanks Blondiehacks!) was when clamping metal into a milling machine vise, always take a length of small rod and place it between the moveable jaw and the stock to be machined. Then lightly snug the vise and tap down on the stock to overcome any uplift that the moveable jaw might have introduced, then lock it down! The rod can roll, which permits the stock to seat down. I’ve never considered the usefulness of that kink on woodworking glue ups! I just finished building your spline jig, and now you top that with the dowel trick! We might not be paying you enough! Thanks!
