[@frenchriversprings]

Maggi, you got yourself a good catch. On the next video I will say Izzy, you got yourself a good catch. So happy you guy’s met. 🤗

[@izzyswan]

Yes! Thank you!

[@frenchriversprings]

❤️

[@robvegart]

Just seeing Izzy about and walking makes this video great!!! Thanks for the great tip too!!!

[@izzyswan]

Any time!

[@outdoormaniac9951]

Izzy, thanks for a great video. I love that you don't put the hard sell on but rather show us how to make our own on the cheap. Bravo!

[@izzyswan]

Glad you liked it!!

[@marionflak9663]

izzy and maggie what a great combination you 2 are and its great watching everything you do as its always out of the box ,its great to watch the great ideas you come up with cheers to both.

[@TR-yn5tb]

Thank You! Learned a TON watching your video. Gonna apply some of your teaching in my home shop and will return to watch and learn more.

[@Loganxmusic9339]

Ive been watching dor years, and wish to watch for many more! I love that you are constantly developing new products, but still show people how to make it themselves and the thought process behind it. It's so straightforward it really helps with the decision to buy or build!

[@JamesMedema]

You guys are AWESOME! Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos - they are SO instructive! Best wishes coming your way from Minnetonka, MN

[@izzyswan]

Thank you! You too!

[@brettchr777]

Izzy, you are one amazing guy! Watching for years (even when you were doing your builds from your garage). Keep the good stuff coming! This was fantastic!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

That's awesome! I'm going to recommend people try this for our Adirondack chairs! I think I'll get your template adapter & try it.

[@quadsquadracingable]

Absolutely great info on 1/4 inch bit! I have that bits and bits half and quarter in compression bits and now I just ordered a spiral bit to try out! Your acrylic templates are awesome!

[@jimm2442]

Interesting although more of a sales presentation. I have learned a lot from your videos in the past and I do appreciate you.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Maggie has some great art on her arm; it is nice to see a young person who is not trying to cover that art up. As for the templates, another great idea from the master himself

[@izzyswan]

Thank you John

[@edhalson3154]

Welcome back! Great chair!

[@odinata]

Thats cool that you have your daughter working with you!

[@madwilliamflint]

Wow. That's impressive. There's a lot of information to unpack here. Really cool stuff.

[@matthewjaniszewski9657]

Any chance you will sell the DXF template files for this chair on your site?

[@toddharshbarger8616]

Really great job, izzy! You are so creative but also so generous to show how to DIY it too!

[@rapunzeleh546]

now THAT is a pretty skookum vacuum pump!!

[@martingagne3136]

love your informative video, those vaccuum template are genius and speed saving ....gonna check them out

[@dennislintz1]

Izzy, Thanks for the tips on how to make my templates even better and safer. Ordered the spiral Bit.

[@christianstevens9804]

Very nice to see you back at it! Keep up the good work, creative flow and fun videos!

[@christiankuwetter7593]

VTC-Routing! Love the Idea!! (Vacuum Template Controled 🙂)

[@chriskappes9170]

Thank you izzy this video answered so many questions i do have some things i want to mass produce even though not for a living this will help so much thanks again

[@MOIVDO]

your videos are awesome. in a couple days I'm going to try making my own and Adirondack chair. I'm very excited about trying to make my own templates using a vacuum pump. it's just hard trying to find one right now I have a couple places I'm going to try but thanks again keep making those great videos

[@JasonSmith-fk3dc]

Your demo design was just too damn good, and the demands for plans and/or vacuum templates are surely stacking up!

[@izzyswan]

I might have to. Have had few folks already asking. lol

[@kent1498]

@@izzyswan I went directly to your site to try and find the vacuum templates. I want to get everything like how you have set up for your router table. Hopefully the templates come out soon

[@glencrandall7051]

That was very impressive. 👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. 🙂🙂

[@27harleyd]

Awesome video! I always have trouble with my router table ( newbie at this) sometimes it jumps and pulls and it's very hard to router anything! You make it look so easy!

[@MCsCreations]

Really interesting stuff indeed, Izzy! 😃 Beautiful chair!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@izzyswan]

Thank you

[@Dagrond]

Ohh sassy Maggy. Too much fun!

[@motorolaandroid5688]

This is absolutely brilliant!

[@pawpawstew]

I noticed that the linked vacuum pump draws at 12cfm. Is that that the minimum required for safe operation?

[@randyrandolph9709]

Yes about time missed you both. Hope your going to be doing more video's more often 🙏 please.

[@Suicaedere666]

Well done y'all! Loved the video, keep on rockin🙌🤘🙌

[@toddharshbarger8616]

Maggie is awesome!

[@ianmoore525]

That 1/4” spiral bit u use in router table, that pulls the wood to the template, are we talking spiral up or down? Love your work.

[@de04609]

Wow. That’s an incredible set up!

[@jerrychetty2524]

Yes you guys have such a great rapport ❤,. I don't have a router table do you sell the template for the chair and can this be cut with a jigsaw. And seems to me that router bit depth is limited to thinner boards. Is it possible to use 1and half inch timber for the leg structure. Hope you can advise me. Thanks again

[@TripGibson]

Great video, can't help but love your set up. Maybe one day I'll have a set up that nice.

[@gbjones54]

Great to you see you guys back on the KZbins. ❤️❤️❤️ I’m with Maggie. It’s a Nipple. 😂😂

[@OakHillMillworks]

I knew Maggie was magic!

[@lfcbpro]

Fantastic vid izzy and Mrs izzy, love the simplicity. For someone with no compressor do you think you'd get away with double sided tape for small jobs?

[@slschrader01]

I really like your set up but I would like to know what bit I should use to cut inch thick to inch and a half thick wood

[@joelkton1]

Nice. I’m not a production shop, but if I were, I would start cranking these out.

[@JorgenKesseler]

These templates work great in car audio fabrication. There are a lot of companies using them to builds subwoofer and what not all stuck down with template tape.

[@saltydawg5489]

always enjoy your videos, im wondering how long that router bit stays sharp, can they be sharpened?

[@russwertenberg1965]

are you selling the templates for the chair? Didn't see them on your store?

[@sapelesteve]

Interesting video Izzy & I can see the application for exact copies & mass production! 👍👍

[@willwatlington6750]

Dude, that was SWEET!! I know Poplar is considered a hardwood, but would it be feasible to use that small diameter bit in the same fashion?

[@WoodcraftBySuman]

Love the added safety from the handle grip. Much more stability and hands can't land anywhere funny.

[@bayoubiker7834]

Excellent job! You are both fantastic! Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@94auwing]

Izzy this is an awesome video thanks Are you going to offer the chair templates for sale?

[@dennisschulze439]

Is there a reason you went with 3/8" backer rod? Will 1/4" work as well?

[@1976ClassicCelica]

I might have to try it myself but just wondering if a shop vac or any other vacuum would work with this system. I know that pump you have it quieter.

[@stanwiggins3423]

Izzy, could you use double sided tape to hold two pieces of wood together then use the vacuum template on the top to keep them together while you use the trim router? As you said, you would have to keep the vacuum pump running, but eliminate the chance of any slippage in case the pores of the lower piece allowed too much air to penetrate for a really tight seal.

[@jarodmorris611]

You would not need the vacuum if you use double sided tape.

[@tdmallet]

What router table do you have? Would any table be sufficient for this, or do you need some type of minimum?

[@willbee6785]

Such a really well presented video.

[@tomhoyer2313]

National Pipe Thread Izzy.

[@vallesan]

thank you a lot for share ... cheers from La Paz BCS Mexico

[@FranksDIY]

Great product Izzy. I love that chair hope you made a video

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Do you sell the Adirondack templates?

[@jeffjones7331]

That round coupler that you use (looks like teflon). Is that a part that you made yourself or is that commercially available? Been watching you for years man! Love everything you do!

[@jgriff19861947]

All ways different and great ideals nice video

[@glenncrocker4887]

Will a 1 1/2 inch bit actually cut all of a 2 x 6 (1 1/2 inch thick) board or does it leave a trail left behind? AND... do they make a 1 1/2 inch bit in 1/4 inch shank?

[@kielsiemoneit4613]

I just got a grabo and made a box to hold so it can pivot around. I bought some weatherstripping hoping to use that for my templates so I very happy to see that my idea should of work. Now I just need to buy the “nipple” to make the grabo more portable for smaller pieces.

[@caramelzappa]

This is super helpful! The system you've developed opens up a world of possiblities. Is there any way you could share the dimensions you use for the backer rod groove for those of us with access to a CNC?

[@4bennybear]

How many copies does it take to make it worth making those patterns? Baltic birch is different then birch veneer at home Depot correct? Where do you buy it? TIA. Great video

[@justinhoffman5339]

You should consider making the handles detachable for use on other templates. That way, each end-user only really needs 2 handles (or whatever the maximum number of handles for a single template is). Your manufacturing costs and the end-user's cost both go down. I think it would be pretty easy. (I probably don't have to explain it to you of all people, but) you could attach the bolt with some caulk like you already do, but tighten it down with a nut on the other side, with some threads left over to accept the handle. The handle could have a bit of a recess in it to fit around the nut.

[@large65]

I am afraid that is prone to disaster. In case of a kickback those "loose" handle will detach from the template and your hands are free to get straight into the long router bit (autsch).

[@justinhoffman5339]

@@large65 They wouldn't be loose. They would be threaded on.

Hello, did you cut the polycarbonate templates on your CNC?

[@douglasmurray1829]

Hi Izzy, I’m a newbie. Everything I’ve looked at so far says to use a router in the ccw direction on the outside of the piece to prevent tear out. It looks as it you’re routing in the cw direction. Do I just have my eyes on backwards?

[@TrimTripton]

I'm curious if you have any experience using this method and bit with a combination of hardwood and epoxy. If so, how were the results?

[@ComgrowOfficial]

Great video again, bro 👊

[@georgsiefkes593]

Great job - thanks for sharing it. And Maggie is right - in danish and german these couplings are called "nippel" :-)

[@tomcollick8111]

Do you have a template set or CNC plans for this chair or know where to get one?

[@tobythornton603]

Just subscribed - great video. I stumbled on this looking for an affordable DIY solution for hobby-level CNC vacuum hold-down table. Do you think the Grabo or the pump in this video could potentially work for that use case?

[@ronnorris1504]

Wow! That's for the info. I'll put that to good use

[@mauisam1]

Interesting. What would CNC vs Router template be.

[@parolajd]

Izzy great video as usual. Have you ever thought about manufacturing and selling your templates in kits?

[@maggieergle8223]

We do on the website

[@MrWalterzatopek]

@@maggieergle8223 not for the chair. only cutting boards.

[@MakeshiftFrank]

Great video. Always a fan

[@thomlipiczky9021]

Great video, gives me some interesting ideas. Thanks! But how come you didn't use the Grabo? I bought one from you and use it with my vacuum bag, but haven't yet tried it on template routing. Is there a problem with it for this purpose?

[@blakerobinson5428]

Izzy, will you be selling these templates anytime soon? I don’t see them on your website now, just the cutting board ones.

[@victorbenner539]

NIPPLE 😁😆😅🤣😂 ok that was fun. Anyway this was a great video. Keep up the great work and have a great day 🌤 👍.

[@jayc8844]

Thank you for the very helpful video! I'm interested in the thinner bit, but as I tend to work exclusively with western red cedar I do worry about tearout, should I? I currently using a too large compression bit for exactly that reason!

[@alfredozavala9753]

Cómo siempre es un placer ver tus videos 👏👏👏

[@TheFeist77]

why did you switch from the battery powered hand held suction to the stationary pump?

[@VeeDubJohn]

Hi, thanks for the information. What is that material that you were using for the chair. Looks like nice stuff.

[@izzyswan]

Premium pine from Lowes

[@VeeDubJohn]

@@izzyswan Thank you!

[@MrScottyskillz]

super cool idea! How long does a router bit like that stay good for?

[@acerjuglans383]

Not long.

[@scottmorris4914]

Good video. Curious as to the joinery with the curved pieces and legs. I have some templates I have been making, hope to have them done soon for a rocking horse. The vacuum system would be really great, getting to hate two sided tape, or even A and blue tape. What vacuum pump do you have? I have been searching for one. Watching one in use, provides a good reference for how well it works.

[@briturner11]

any chance you will sell the chair templates in a kit?

[@nigeldavies8900]

Been to your website, do you sell the file for the adirondack chair parts? Do you ship to Australia. As always great video.

is there a video on building the chair that's on the bench at the very end of the video?
