Cope and Stick Cabinet Bits // How to use

[@rhwoodshop]

Hey guys I hope you enjoyed this particular video. I will continue this series with the shaker style as it is a completely different set up. Then we will continue with using the raised panel bits that are included with the set. Let me know what you think.

Looking forward to them Drew. By the way, you seem like a pretty cool guy and able to take constructive criticism.....just a tiny bit. FYI, I am already a subscriber to you channel so......when appealing to the new subscriber might I suggest the following. Rather than saying right off the bat "hit that like an subscribe", try saying something like "hey if you are new to my channel and like what you see here, give me a like and consider subscribing". I'm sure that most people won't subscribe to a channel without watching it first but it is just a pet peeve on mine to hear the presenter say "if you are new here, go ahead and like and subscribe". I know and all I can say is, feel pity for my wife. I will also say again, love the Sketchup videos. Thanks.

I’ll try and remember that. All of my monologues are off-the-cuff so sometimes I say different things each time, but I’ll try and keep that one in mind. Thank You!!!

Excellent video I felt like I was watching a professional how to video. Complete with high tempo elevator music😊

[@youtbez44]

Clear and direct! You have a gift for teaching.

[@robertstover7525]

I've recently bought all new sawing equipment to build my own cabinets. Never used a router table before I was completely I mean completely lost on the bit arrangement. Thank you so much.

[@howarddeares3733]

Wow, I have watched a lot of videos on how to do cope and stick. You explained the measurement of the rails really well. I didn’t see that on other videos. I’m just cutting my teeth on my first set of cabinet doors. Thanks, your video has really helped me.

Another Saturday highlight! Thank you for sharing.

[@rhwoodshop]

Awesome rank. Love it. Thank You!!!

[@Unconquerable87]

I’m a beginner woodworker, and I’m finally getting to the point where I want to use the router. I been searching for a good video on Cope, and stick router bits for a week, and most videos have all these extra parts for the router that I don’t have, so I’ve only been able to put bits and pieces together, but not enough to feel comfortable with what I’m doing. This video is absolutely great! I can take the information and finally start making my cuts! Thank you!!!

[@garypillischafske1425]

Outstanding. I was always intimidated by the router and those large bits. Now I see how easy it is! Thanks a bunch.

[@rhwoodshop]

I will say that if you are intimidated, wait to use the raise panel bit until you see my video because it does require a little bit of different use

[@rhwoodshop]

Otherwise the other two bits are very easy to use and are not intimidating at all once you give them a try

[@jasonthomas1760]

Awesome video brother, just got a set of these for my kitchen remodel. You just saved me a day's worth of trial and error.

[@rhwoodshop]

So awesome to hear. Good luck with your build and use of these bits.

[@stevegronsky8904]

Nice job Drew. Well demo'd and explained.

[@rhwoodshop]

Thanks Steve! Happy you enjoyed it. Been a while!

@@rhwoodshop Yes it has been a while. Had knee replacement surgery and am just now getting back into my shop.

[@rhwoodshop]

Steve Gronsky oh man! Glad you are recovering well. Stay healthy.

[@Umpire20NM]

@@rhwoodshop Doing very well, thanks. Back to normalcy except for golf (for now). 😀

Very good tutorial, easy to follow with tips to help a beginner! 👏👏👏 I’m constructing a test door out of pine before purchasing oak stock for my kitchen cabinet refurb.

[@chrisswartzwelder8494]

Always great information. I’m definitely going to use that one 1/16 trick to set mine up.

[@Marcosvlogs847]

I’m new in this channel thank you I love it 👍🏼

[@saeedalhadad1993]

Very good tutorial

Awesome video!

[@rhwoodshop]

Thank You!!! Appreciate that very much.

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

I like using a bit that has BOTH the positive and negative for the stiles and rails. So I don’t have to remove the bit, I just raise or lower as needed. From MLCS. Stacked Rail and Stile Router Bits.

[@rhwoodshop]

I’ll have to check that out! Thank You!!!

[@aaudain1]

Great idea 💡 👍 👏 👌 😀

[@JohntheSchreiner]

Nicely explained! I have a video coming out in a few weeks where I built a couple cabinet doors, I think i'm just gonna forward people to this video so people can get a more eloquent explanation to how these work, haha!

[@rhwoodshop]

I never would have thought of myself as eloquent. I’m glad you liked it John. Thanks a lot! Good luck on your upcoming video as well!

[@chicanoblanco745]

Your the man!!!

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

What color of stain did you use.Bottom line God bless thanks

[@clarencepaul9773]

I do enjoy your video

[@ginoasci]

those doors came out nice. but you should call that boom company and have them sharpen those bits onahcanna they leave curly cues and burn marks, which is a clear indication that the cutters edges are rounded over. did you find that you had to push really hard to get the stock thru ?

[@georgewilmore7599]

I know you use sponsors equipment but I purchased a matched set of bits. Once setup I don't need to change the height just the bits since they're a matched set. Nice video by the way.

[@rhwoodshop]

Well I don’t have sponsors for router bits. These were harbor freight I’ve had for years. The yellow ones are yoniko from amazon.

[@scottc3165]

Awesome!

[@bloodragon.gamingyt7197]

I don't have router table can ve use that bit sir

[@machomedina4901]

Nice job.....

[@superchip4576]

What holds the glass in?

[@Thistledoo47603]

Thanks Drew

[@rhwoodshop]

Thank You!!!

[@WoodsconsinWoodworking]

Thank you for the response.

[@michaelmcdonough1989]

Outstanding. How did you secure the glass in the door? Also how about using a couping sled

[@rhwoodshop]

I have one but I didn’t use it for this mainly because not everyone has it. They are great tools though. Thank You!!!

[@joeszukalski8501]

I should have seen this before wasting a whole day trying to set up my bits.

[@bloodragon.gamingyt7197]

Which types of router sir

[@MNnytrorider]

How did you install the glass? Wouldn’t be best to install it before glue up.

[@rhwoodshop]

If you notice after glue up a rabbet is cut on the backside. This allows the glass to be inserted and held in place with retention clips (not seen). I never incase glass in a door because if it ever breaks you will not be able to put in a new piece without rabbets being cut in place.

[@iohilyngdoh7]

Whose router can use this bits

[@richarddaggett]

enjoyed that video, thanks!

[@rhwoodshop]

Glad to hear it Richard and I’m glad you’re taking advantage of the early access

[@danyodice1048]

How did you mount the glass on these doors? Silicone adhesive?

[@rhwoodshop]

No, I used plastic glass retention clips

[@rhwoodshop]

You can find them in my Amazon store

[@danyodice1048]

@@rhwoodshop thanks for the quick response

[@WoodsconsinWoodworking]

What thickness was your door stock? I always make mine 13/16 to give the back of the door a tinch more stock so the back dont blow out when inserting raised panels however, you put glass in. What would have been a great thing to see was how you finished off the glass on the inside. There are different methods which one did you use? Could you please show us? Thanks buddy!

[@rhwoodshop]

3/4” was mine. I make the raised panels 1/16” proud of the front surface. Back in the day, the definition of a raised panel was either flush with the front and back surface or “raised” proud of the rail and stile front surface and slightly inset of the back surface. I usually attach glass with plastic glass retention clips either inset in a recess or screwed to the surface with appropriate spacers.

[@armandorodriguez3626]

Muchas gracias.

[@mrBDeye]

It would've been nice to see how you fastened the glass.

[@jomaragosita6518]

Great job god bless.

[@ignatiusjk]

Two things...... You should measure your diagonals to see if your door is square not use a square on the inside part of the door. Second....your bits need sharpened. You have to much "fuzz" on your cope cuts.

[@rob1484]

This guy is good. It's a shame he kind of disappeared--WTF happened?
