      James, great idea but I do have a suggestion to make it better. You could mark out the measurements right there on the table. A fine point sharpie pen would allow you to mark out a ruler up to say 6". Just a thought, but I do know you appreciate helpful feedback.

    Genius. Both the box joint jig AND the mini-router table. This is exactly the type of content needed from folk who tend to claim 'expertise' in sawdust manufacturing, rather than turning into product shills. Some of the folk I used to watch are simply just ten minutes advertisements for whoever pays the most this week. Sad.
    I am here to learn. New skills...YOUR skills...shared ideas and techniques that could possibly bring my skill set to a new level. These last two presentations of yours, James, bring to 'my' table a way to have a router table at work that doesn't weigh a ton or require a truckload of space...on top of now being able to present to a friend new to this game we love a way to mount her lil' Wen palm router to a table she can afford to build.
    If we (the viewers) could rate presentations...you'd get a six outta five stars from me. Instead, you get a thumbs-up, and a long-time viewer eager for your next idea! Thanks!!!

  • @dwalsh3469
    @dwalsh3469 24 дня назад +13

    That’s an excellent technique Dude. Cutting mating parts together eliminates (in theory at least) the aftermath of sources of error. My best example is jointing two boards with a track saw, by placing one upon the other, making a single cut, and then just flipping the top board over. Even with error, you have complimentary surfaces to glue up.

    Your promotion on the Mpower sharpening station triggered me to order one from Amazon. It just arrived today and I’m pretty excited about it. Mind you in Canadian dollars it’s over $350.00 but comparing it to diamond stones individually it’s a good deal.
    Here’s a tip you might want to make a video about. Regarding checking out long boards for straightness. I drilled three very small holes in a black plastic lid. I use it to sight down long boards It allows the eye to see both the close and distant ends clearly. Handy to take to the lumber yard. The lumber yard. I don’t seem to be able to send a photo in the comments.

    @pawpawstew 22 дня назад

    This is a great setup. One thing that William Ng noted in his saw-cut finger joint jig video is that he developed his pin size based on the depth of a common drawer. The pin layout and cut kerf was cut so each pin was exactly the same size, without that little tab at the end. So, not to take anything from this setup, which, as I said, was great, but a deeper dive (Maybe a follow on video?) would be valuable to reveal the size router bit to use and jig to build to ensure precisely spaced pins for different drawer or box depths. I hope that made sense. Thanks, James, for making videos like this. 👍

    Somewhere I've heard that putting a few layers of shellac is a good primer, maybe you could comment on that as well. I think it would be very useful for those of us who want to use cheaper wood but don't really enjoy the look of stained pine.

    I haven't watched this video yet, sorry. I thought of you with a question, though. We put 2" oak slabs on our kitchen walls as shelves. The wood was evidently still very wet. One of the shorter shelves was cupped when hung. I used 1/4" L brackets as supports. Today, I noticed one of the screws is pulling out. I am assuming that as it dries, the wood shrinks. I'm at a loss. The shelves are finished, and trying to take the cup out would ruin it. We would never be able to match it well enough. Oh, great and powerful wood guru what can we do.
