Did you ever make the plans for this public? I’d love to be able to print out the plans and adjust as necessary to fit my fireplace insert.

Thanks sir ...nay way to get wood and dimensions ?

A longer dowel and domino is stronger.

Does anyone do hardware-less builds anymore? If I never see a pocket hole again it would be too soon.

This guy doesn’t know how to make a hole smaller.

gutsy! but a good experiment

thought id buy this for arrow shafts, any advice?

It's patheticly funny how he had time to answer back to almost any question other than to the people that was actually interested in building his great and magnificent manger... Way to go bro you are doing big things

What brand of underlay would you suggest on carpet with wood underneath?

Just buy a chisel morticer. In a drill press I found a forstner bit better than an end mill. I presume also better than a router cutter. I used the drill press as it is intended and cleaned up with chisels. The mortice has a good chance of being square then. A milling machine is more versatile than a drill press. Especially if you want to mortice. Overall just use a machine for what it’s meant to do. 😅

Hey Wes, great video and timely for me as I’m getting ready to make a box out of 1/2” material. I get setting up the height but your explanation of how to set the fence wasn’t very clear. You said to move the Fence “until the bit is just touching the edge of our carbide tips” ??? This makes no sense to me…did you mean “until the bit is just touching the edge of the straight edge”??? Also you seem to be using a tri square there and the blade is up in the air so what part of the blade are you touching??? I’m being anal I know…I’m gonna make some test cuts to see if I can figure it out. Thx!

Plunging repeatedly makes for a clean slot. Hogging sideways makes for a nasty hole. Words to live by.

Can be done, and that's how I built all the cupboard trim for my caravan and trailer tent. Just use that rarest of traits....common sense.

Nicely done. The sound of that bit digging in the first time had my sphincter slamming shut! But obviously the operator is smarter than the average bear and knew precisely what to expect from this experiment.

I built two of these 8 years ago for my daughters. I'm getting ready to build another one for our son. Thanks for a great video!

The tear out is due to you not knowing how to do it 😂😂😂😂😂if you want a 1/2” dowel you’d want the blank to be 9/16” square lol

First off ur taking off too much material at once makes it tear out

😂😂😂😂😂😂you’re funny bro

Nice !!

Have you still got all your fingers

I'm a newbie and have a fixed-base trim router. A mortise bit came with a "beginners" bit set. I wondered how I could use it. Glad you did the "dumb stuff" for me! I won't put the mortise bit, or any other, in my drill! You need an isolation box with a thick plexiglass window, hand holes and steel mesh gloves!

I have 2 slides that need two size landing decks to go down each slide. I need a cut list and supply list and I can do it. :(

Excellent. In this new age of soy girls, it's nice to see some good tooling and experimentation... just like we ALL did back in the day. Amazing we survived thinking for ourselves eh?

Lindsay, can you make this?

proves that he is certainly a globalist willing to destroy America.

Thanks i know now ots a bad idea 😮

I would only recommend this for chamfering holes as radial forces, especially on cheaper presses, are a big narp.

Are you using air assist with those deep cuts?

I actually thought about just that because I found a new set of router bits. Thanks. I will buy a harbor freight router if needed. Currently using a Dremel mini router table for hobby stuff.

Just bought this for $299 today

Great video bud, thanks!

Great Tips! Get some knee pads though, Rolling ones even

Great video! Going to make my own vanity unit now.

1: use a nail to hold the screen in place as you melt it in. 2: preheat teh bucket with a hot iar gun or your ole' ladies har drier. the base has to be molten to stick too.

How about using the router miter bit to create the joint in a picture frame?

I want you to know that because of this video, I went into my tiny shop and took a chance by taking out my hole saw kit and grabbing some scrap wood from a side job to try it. I instantly saw it coming into fruition. I don't have a lathe, and this video saved me from scrapping the yo-yo idea all together. Thank you.

so why coping if u can just cut 2 45 and join instead?

This was a big help, thank you

And how accurate is it?

The only time I'd make my own dominos is when they'll be exposed and I want a different wood species to match my project.

Can you link the 3M Contact cement you used?

Step one have a complete wood shop. Got it 👍

Excellent video

Awesome man!! Just what I needed. Thanks!!

Thanks for the video. How long after you glue it down can you wait before you roll it?

Este men es un chingun para este trabajo felicidades bueno y limpio 👍👍👍 saludos desde Michoacán México

Turned AYYOTE Nawice You went all AYYOTE lol

offcourse people in the comment section are intelligent like they know everything😂

I wonder if it loses focus when trying to cut through the 1/2 wood

Pleaseéééékeepyou fingers away from the bit....use push block....and keep both end of your stick square...for more safety & stability....then cut the end on miter saw or table saw...with cross cut jig
