Table saw dovetail jig build 1/2

[@Khether0001]

I MUST SAY: What I love about your videos is how ingenuous the projects are, and how NEAT you do the job, man... it's a real pleasure to watch! Thank you very much for uploading these videos!

[@ob1coyote]

You're like the modern day Bob Ross creating amazing things with simple tools and simple materials.I am mesmerized by your videos.

[@Charlesredporsche]

Your editing out/speeding up repetitive segments is the best on the internet.

[@NGinuity]

I am often accused of seeing things others can't and coming up with innovative ways to do things, but even I completely yield to you, good sir. What a great idea......

[@OneTrippin]

Matthias your like the Bob Ross of woodworking and tinkering.

[@richwilliam3378]

These are great videos - thanks for posting. I only discovered them last night and I didn't get to bed until 1.30 this morning; I just couldn't stop watching them. Great stuff.

[@Stephen1455]

Love improvisation, was an English Tool And Diemaker apprentice and we were trained to use every crafty thing we could come up with, because we did not have ALL the tools!!!

[@Bigelowbrook]

that's pretty cool. The only other enhancement would be to make a little turn handle and threaded rod for the angle adjustment instead of using a screw for the stop.

[@theor.9219]

What a brilliant thing-a-ma-jig. Beautifully designed and engineered.

[@Michael-zj5gp]

So many other youtubers use that slow zoom-in when something crazy is about to happen, it never fails to make me nervous when Matthias is using a bandsaw and it starts zooming.

[@lorenzogonzalez9892]

Congratulations for your ingenuity. The truth is formidable that template. It is also permanent for the following cuts. Thanks for sharing. The best for this 2018. A hug.

[@thecalabiyaumanifold]

in regards to the internal stresses, whether to pull back or to push through on a table saw. I've found that most of the time if I try to push through It will become harder to push the longer the piece is and will start to pull away from the fence and will be really hard. I always pull back or just shut the saw off if I don't feel comfortable to pull back. I hold the piece very still while doing so. Never had a piece kick back yet but I've come really close a couple times. stay safe

[@markguill2258]

One of the best woodworkers I've ever seen.

[@idleford]

You come with the most innovative things I've seen great work and you make it look so easy.

[@davidstafford4873]

I appreciate your realistic approach to kickback

[@Wordsnwood]

Usually you explain a bit more how something works before you jump into building it. It added to the, um, suspense(?) as I watched, trying to figure out what you were doing and why. Kind of like the Woodpecker guy in that regard. Looking forward to #2 tomorrow sometime. Hope you've got a good bandwidth plan with your ISP !!

[@matthiaswandel]

I'm impressed that it's taking people this long to start commenting on this video. That would imply people are actually watching it first :)

[@wolfgang4468]

I am watching this today for the first time, 1-15-2020! And I like it a lot! :)

[@pheenix42]

Brilliant idea, sir...If I ever am able to set up a space to work in, I've got a LOT of your projects to work on!

[@ТикМастер]

Матиас, вы как всегда молодец и очень приятно посмотреть на вашу работу и изделия (приспособления). Я восхищаюсь вашим умением! Я не понимаю ничего из того, что вы говорите, но и так все понятно для внимательного зрителя! Удачи!

[@dansarmar1]

Thanks for the jig idea. I am setting up my workshop to manufacture Warre style beehives and the machinery and ideas you have are an inspiration for me.

[@GMNM1]

Mathias, I'm a fan of your work. I have a small workshop, but i'm not joiner. I'm live in Brazil. Congratulations, my friend.

[@JockeSelin]

I love watching your videos, Matthias! I'm in awe of your ingenuity. Making such awesome things out of such "plain materials a

[@Papaden3815]

J'attend la deuxième partie avec impatience. Thank's Mr Wandel for all what you do for us. I love what you do.

[@Stephen1455]

I like that temple transfer, who needs cad/cam!!!! Love your work, subscribed as soon as I saw it!!!

[@ptman3]

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to put these videos together.

[@JockeSelin]

That should have been "such plain materials as wood. *hats off*!!

[@Boogerweldz]

You owned that bind in the spruce. Ive been halving home depot 2x4s the tall way all week, stalled the saw twice so far. But no coniferous projectiles!

[@diowk]

Such an overcomplicated solution to a problem easily solved with a 5 minute jig that will achieve the exact same result but still very Impressive

[@robertbrennan6517]

You are a very intelligent young man, I really appreciate your videos they are inspiring Thankyou and keep up the great work you share.

[@mauriciozaya73]

Excelente Matthias, la verdad muy buenos tus vídeos. Mi pasatiempo es trabajar con la madera, y tus trabajos hacen de esto una ciencia mas que un oficio. Barbo eres un maestro.

[@matthiaswandel]

You can attach a hand held circular saw to the bottom of a piece of plywood, but that won't make a very good saw.

[@oxenpaul]

Love the quick transfer from paper. All that punching and piloting seems excessive at first but those errors (or in your case those eliminated errors ;^) add up. Well done. The way the adjustment screws can be reached through the wall 17:07 is lovely!

[@1873Winchester]

I've added a piece of plywood that I slip over my fence, I can then adjust it to the length I want, such as a short length for ripping, it works real well and makes internal stresses much less likely to cause binding, and it's a super simple jig, just three pieces of 18mm plywood, glue, screws and varnish.

[@matthiaswandel]

I pick the screw and then use the type of screwdriver that is needed for it. I don't pick screws for any preference in screwdrivers.

[@Plymouth-st3hq]

I think your videos are really good... You are very talented.

[@wolfgangmahl3710]

Da hat wohl jemand das Talent von Winfried geerbt, tolle Sachen machst du !

[@matthiaswandel]

To build a table saw that is any good requires some precision machined parts. The cheapest way to get those parts is to buy a table saw and take the parts out. But if you just bought a saw, why destroy it to build another one?

[@QuitoMauro]

Excellent Job Matthias...Congratulations...!!! Greetings from Argentine. Steve.!

[@matthiaswandel]

I guess those wood screws are the thing that everybody is picking up on in this video. They do the job, and it wasn't worth complicating the jig to save a few seconds when adjusting them.

[@sailingcatcharay]

You rock, good job Matthias probably the simplest around

[@MCP1BEME]

Wow you sure go all out when you build a Jig!!!

[@sandshadeddutchman]

great stuff. why do you mark the holes, disassemble things, drill pilot holes at the drill press, then reassemble instead of drilling the pilot holes with it assembled and then driving the screws?

[@Zigge]

One of the hallmarks of a skilled carpenter is his ability to make very skinny dovetails. The distance to the pivot of cause dictates how skinny you can make them in conjunction to the dovetail angle. Is there a way to adjust this distance or would it demand trunnions to get down to the with of the table saw blade?

[@Sully800]

Excellent as always Matthias! I really need to get a table saw so I can have a use for your many toys

[@xabixnaq]

... finally found your site by going to other of your videos. You might want to put a direct link to your home page on this video. Wonderful work by the way!

[@nutuba59]

always entertaining and very informative , wish i had the time to make these projects. just completed the 3D router jig , well impressed .

[@Omarateastwind]

That's another excellent video, Matthias...thanks for sharing! I love the woodworking, of course, but your video editing skill is pretty awesome as well....

[@ammoan2005]

Genius man. So nice to watch your videos

[@magocybernetico]

have you ever thought about buying the G-ripper, works really nice.

[@avishaishitrit]

as always it is very fascinating to watch your movies

[@freewoodencrosses]

Matthias: Have you made a video on how to make the dial indicator.? You use this a lot Thanks , Dennis

[@paulinoguevararocha1053]

gracias Paulino de México saludos felicitaciones está muy bien..

[@JHONYALDIOS]

would love to congratulate you for showing your skills, want to know if it is possible or how to get their projects ... sorry for any mistake of English.

[@OgreProgrammer]

woodgears.ca has all of Matthia's project plans.

[@antoniogarciahernandez8395]

Matthias etas hecho un gran profesional, y todos los trabajos muy bien terminados Recibe mis saludos Gracias.

[@INNOVATIVE83]

Mattias you are a really genious man.. thanks for your great wood art

[@stevensrspcplusmc]

Mathias get a micro jig splitter for your zero clearance insert.. I have one on my delta unisaw.. they work awesome and is a cheap fix👍😊

[@vicentepagesbeltran8843]

vicente Pagés. Megustan tus prototipos y los voy siguiendo sipuedo seguir pero los voy siguiendopero sin los planos son muy difíciles de cuadrar . muchas gracias.

[@mizhollylaw]

Unbelievable! I am so envious of your brain, Matthias!!! :) Thanks so much for the videos.

[@thej998]

Great video! .....I was wondering where you create your plans

[@sirabsirabs]

thanks for the video. just want to ask-why dont you drill all the pilot holes throught the two pieces of wood together? why do you put them together, mark, drill, put together again?- you can just put them together, drill. screw. thanks

[@GeneraleRus]

Very nice "contraption" Matthias! A "non-related" question, i see you use either Philips/Pozidriv and Robertson screws in most of your project: which one do you prefer using? They have the same properties? Thanks again for your amazing woodworking!

[@matthiaswandel]

Got to Lee valley or princess auto, pay $20, leave with a dial indicator.

[@matthiaswandel]

Ha, yes, except I did discover an error -- in my CAD model! One of the holes was off by 5 mm. oops! But you have to look carefully to see the asymmetry in the jig, as built.

[@boldger13]

Matthias, what about making a hands free foot petal kill switch?

[@matthiaswandel]

Because the holes are not in the same positions.

[@stygn]

I assume you mean more like a sub woofer box? Because building a normal case for a speaker wouldn't be much of a challenge I'd think? I don't know much about fancy sound stuff, but a woofer box needs to be a bit special, right?

[@Keith_Ward]

It is just a dial indicator. You can zero the dial/pointer at any time by turning the outside ring. Measurements are relative this way rather than absolute.

[@kentdutrieux8886]

I love watching your videos. You do great work

[@matthiaswandel]

That's because the article isn't there at the moment.

[@matthiaswandel]

No, I think those things are quite unsafe compared to push sticks.

[@JohnHarmon]

I would remove the screws that you are using for adjustments and add bolts that you can adjust from the opposite side

[@pablohernandezf]

While watching the video at 3:00, I see you're using a milling caliper jig to set the fence. How did you make the jig to measure the distance to the fence?

[@cwadub]

Incredible design and great jig!

[@matthiaswandel]

Oh, I figured the intro with the prototype jigs showed what I'm building.

[@russ8001]

That dial indicator base is cool but I am unclear how it mounts-is it magnetic?

[@matthiaswandel]

15 degrees. that's actually a bit much for a dovetail joint.

[@umass84jackcnh]

This is an awesome project. Where can I get this plan printed on large papers. Do you know roughly how much that might cost?

[@matthiaswandel]

Jack Chen Got to a local copy shop. Getting it done online costs crazy much.

[@Khether0001]

where's part twoooooo? =) can't wait! congratulations, Matthias! it's very nice!!! =)

[@jaimebarrientos4395]

excelente felicitaciones maestro, un saludo desde Chile

[@dm7g]

ok; 2 quick questions. 1) does this jig require the table saw's blade to tilt at an angle? because my table saw cant....T.T 2) for a lot of your projects, you use a mix of plywood and softwoods, but is it possible to use plywoods for everything? do you use solid wood because it's easier to plane down to the dimensions that are needed? I ask this because I have only hand planes in my shop and try to stick to laminating plywood to achieve any kind of thickness....

[@matthiaswandel]

You know where it says "for more information... click link in description. You might want to try that.

[@matthiaswandel]

Yes, I could have done many things differently, And I did in a way - I did them differently from how you would have done it.

[@TheOneOriginalJackal]

Hey Matt, with the fixed dimensions as they are...what max angle are you able to achieve sir?

[@aftreni]

Hi Matthias are always the best! I want to know what software you use to create the project on paper !!!

[@peggyt1243]

+Andrea Fabbrucci Sketchup (free download from google) and Big Print created by Matthias Wandel and available from his website. woodgears.ca/bigprint/about.html

[@Bbendfender]

Crazy question. What brand drill are you using. My Craftsman and Makita drills are wearing out and I want to buy some good ones next time.

[@albertomancini7818]

MUY BUENA LA TRADUCCIÓN-- POR FIN--POR FIN --SE ENTENDIÓ TODO POR FIN---- UNA BUENA.

[@aerofart]

Matthias: what are the dimensions of adjustability of this jig? I take it the pivot is placed well behind the rear face of the workpiece in order to get the narrow opening in the tails - can this be varied, and if so, how?

[@kewlari]

Awesome work as always. Can't wait to see the other part too.

[@zeratul575]

good point. also LOVE the videos your one reason i wanna get into woodworking.

[@xabixnaq]

I tried to find your plans by clicking the link in the description and it took me to a pictorial of the process but I found no information on whether you sell plans ...

[@nathanwooler8047]

what blade(s) do you use on your table saw? awesome jig, by the way!!

[@Mr308Gap]

How long until Leigh offers you a job so they stop losing money. Great build.

[@biggregg5]

I left a message to you maybe a couple of weeks ago. I am working on a project that is essentially like a ferris wheel that needs to revolve about once every 2-3 minutes. Could you point me in the right direction for motor, gearing and whatnot. Your input would tremendously appreciated. Thanks!

[@mareevdmitry7588]

Эй, Канада! ХОРОШАЯ РАБОТА)

[@KapaTec]

Matthias, I was just wondering if you could let me know what program(s) you use to make your plans? Thanks.

[@pedrinho31]

You are an artist

[@onlypremiumlife]

So with the natural expansion of wood, what prevents the miter slot bar from no longer fitting tightly in the table slot?

[@matthiaswandel]

yes it does get tight as the humidity goes up. But change in size is at most 1%, and that could be about 0.19 mm of play.

[@onlypremiumlife]

So not tight enough for it to stick and be a problem?

[@florianhammers6466]

thank you for sharing your great ideas ! greetings from munich

[@cjhoylemusic]

looks good! looking forward to part 2!

[@utvikler-no]

Your videos are awesome!
