How to use the parf guide system for the first time.

[@TobiasJStrand]

Nice job! Just a quick question. The brackets on the side of the table. Are those MFT mounts for the saw track?

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Hey, thanks so much for your feedback and question. The brackets are from dashboard pws (the link is in the description) and indeed for the track saw. Check out their channel as there are many videos explaining how it all works. It's ace! Thanks again buddy 👍

Well done. I appreciate the detail of your work. Don't let the small minded get to you. A picture is worth a thousand words, spoken or not.

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Thanks for that! Much appreciated

Nice table Mr! I noticed at 3:42 into your video you made the same mistake I've made. Directly after drilling the hole through both rules the top rule should've been moved then the pin installed to drill remaining holes. Reason being the pins only have enough shoulder to protrude through one rule. I had noticed this after making my first 90° so when i checked it was nearly impossible to get the pins through on the 9th hole because it had shifted ever so slightly. Luckily its only one roll that i caught before continuing. Perhaps it may never be noticed but when you turn the rule to the straight line of holes the pins are much easier installed and removed.

That’s great thank you

Great walkthrough James!

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Thanks man, it only took 3 months since using it to post the video 😂

Looks great in black. Will finish mine tomorrow.

Thanks man, very kind of you!

Great video and the bench looks great 🔥 🤙

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Thank you I really appreciate this 😊

[@1mwebster]

Had my set for 3 years and still not gotten round to making my bench, and on that thought do u have a build vid of urs it looks amazing tbh Valchromat , got to love it haha, although thay the main reason i haven't built mine yet , i have 2 sheets of Birch Ply but no ruddy Valchromat for the top and wasnt paying what they've been asking for over the last 12months or , more hopefully it will drop a bit in the next few months 😂👍

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Thanks so much for your comment! The valchromat is only going to get more expensive so take the leap and go for it! 😂

@@affinitydesignsworkshop oh bugger lol, looks like I'm going to have to my wallets already crying 🤣🤣

[@edsingbeil5487]

This would have been much better with audio

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

I agree, when I filmed it I was just too shy to have my voice over it. I will do an updated version with audio soon though 👍

[@AlansMovies1]

It looks like the sound is no longer available

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

There is no voiceover, hence the written instructions 👍

[@davidvasquez3564]

Nice! Now can you repeat that again?

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

I did! 😂

@@affinitydesignsworkshop Tell me more, as I'm having trouble finding the black in the states in anything other than 6" wide material. In the brown only 3/4 inch. Sorry I'm not up to speed with the metric system.

@@chrisschmitt3860 thank you for helping here, much appreciated

[@flatlander523]

I appreciate the fact that you produced this video to help people but without audio I find it very difficult to glean any information from what you're showing. While I'm trying to read your text I'm not watching the video. I'm a slow reader and trying to stay up with the text and the video is impossible and I would venture a guess and say there is a lot more people just like me that got frustrated and clicked off before they ever were able to finish the video please add audio to all of your videos so I we all can enjoy them. I am sure there are some folks that cannot read at all and depend on audio for information.

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Hiya, I really appreciate this comment thank you. I am going to do a second version of this but with audio, even if it benefits one person (hopefully you) then it's worth it! I'll try to do so within the next few weeks as I do have a custom bench to make as an order. Thanks again. James

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Hi, good question! It is a better type of mdf called valchromat. Stronger, harder and coloured throughout the board.

[@Ifithomescom]

Why do you need so many precise dog holes in over 45 years woodworking i have never needed all you need is random holes and holdfast don’t waste time and money a solid bench and good vice anytime

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

It’s called Pythagoras theorem, if you want accurate and easily repeatable cuts. Maybe try it, even after 45 years there’s still room for improvement. Thanks for watching!

[@SlowExpensive]

You made the video without the annoying music. Good. No voiceover is staggeringly bad tho. We move on.

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Thanks I guess! I suffer from staggeringly bad anxiety so at the time, doing a voiceover was not an option. Next time perhaps 😊👍

[@Tminsquero1975]

Sadly so did I.

Come on man, what kind of KZbin video is this? Where is all the ridiculous screaming over obnoxious music?

Trust me I was screaming at times 😂

[@jasonburt5378]

Should be titled how to build a PARF guide system…….. because you definitely didn’t show how to use it

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

It didn't seem necessary to show myself using a drill, over and over... Much like your comment, it wasn't needed. Thanks for watching though!

[@Reign_In_Blood_963]

It's a video about how to best use the guides/templates so you can create perfectly spaced 18mm grid.

Sorry, u made a mistake. Do not measure against the edge of the ruler, align the ruler to the line you made. Peter Parfit, the creator of the jig, told so in his video about. The holes in the ruler must not be in the midddle of, or straight to the ruler. Nevertheless, the holes are perfekt square, but it is not guranteed that they are suare to the edge of your tabletop the way you did it. I made the same mistake first time i used the jig... and wondered why my cut were not suare to the tabletop. Gladly i could cut the top a little bit, so trat everytyhing fits now. Took me long time to figure out why it was not square.

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

Thanks for your comment however I strongly disagree. The outcome will be with holes that are square to the work surface if you've cut it straight in the first place. Why would you not have a parallel cut for your worktop in the first place, this would be the "mistake".

[@affinitydesignsworkshop]

I also think it's unwise to start a reply with "u made a mistake" I didn't, I've simply done it in a different way that produces the same outcome. Thanks again for your comment.

[@Micha_Ba]

Ich hätte in deutsch antworten sollen, das wäre einfacher gewesen, sorry. Habs in englisch versucht, nicht so einfach wenn man seit 30 Jahren aus der Schule ist....

@@Micha_Ba Hey Mann, das ist cool, kein Grund zur Entschuldigung! Ich freue mich über Ihren Kommentar und freue mich über jedes Feedback. Ich bin immer offen für Vorschläge und das Video von Peter Parfitt ist großartig und viel besser als meines. Nochmals vielen Dank und pass auf dich auf
