SIMPLE Router Edge Guide #2- T-Square style (Rout accurate dados, grooves, rabbets and more!)

[@Curmudgeonhero]

I’m so grateful to you. Some 20+ years ago I set up my dream shop and began to create a range of shaker inspired furniture. Not long after, I became severely disabled due to a health issue, and lost everything (tools, house, and my furniture collection). I was self taught via Fine Woodworking and Shopnotes. Now at age 60, I’m mostly recovered from my disability, and with limited funds, I’m attempting to to rebuild my shop, this time in my apartment. After resubscribing to FW, I was devastated to learn of the demise of Shopnotes. Just imagine how overjoyed I was when I found your KZbin channel. Thank you so much! 🔨 🎈🔨

As a mathematician and budding woodworker, the perfectionist in me loves how perfectly the hole is offset to compensate for the different sized router bits -- genius!

Serge is a genius and has shared tons & tons of woodworking tips.

[@davemccracken6436]

thx James. You are back doing what I enjoy most.... Showing clever ways to make my projects cleaner!

[@jpatel1114]

Great job Stumpy Nubs....! Math+Carpentry, the way to go for DIYers...!!

[@trongod2000]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Although I knew plywood is not the same size as milled lumber I didn't think of how that would cause a "standard size" router bit to cut to large a pattern.

[@jbb5470]

Great tips Stumpy! Looking forward to seeing your next rendition!

[@rickhayhoe]

WOOHOO! I love it!

[@Jack-es9xq]

I'm late to this party but may have a worthy suggestion. Add a rabbet on the underside of the fence to allow the new base plate to ride through. This would deny the opportunity to tip the router. Adding a second rabbet further inboard on the fence with a corresponding tongue on the base plate would going a long way toward the accuracy and repeatablility of the Festool (for example) saw guide. Similar to a two rail crosscut sled

[@rod1148]

What kind of plywood do you recommend for this jig? Thanks.

[@phillipiacobacci1369]

Thanks, watched both and will be making each of them.

[@bentcountershaft]

Another great vid, now wondering when the third one will be out.

[@sb19687]

Great video , can you please recommend a good bandsaw for the home workshop

[@kevinashby4847]

that's another great, instructional video. Thanks

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I have known about the offset router plate for years, hadn't thought of matching it to the guide. Might be it doesn't have to be four sides. Three? Five, six? Thanks

[@Mikhandmaker]

Great job👍

[@JosephLorentzen]

If you only had one of your router tables, which one would it be and why? I see the sliding, the horizontal, and I believe a conventional table with lift. Maybe you could have a shootout between the three (or are there more) for flexibility and the strengths and weaknesses of each.

[@wayneburba9457]

Great. Is that the craftsmen digital plunge router? I was looking at that to add to my shop?

[@donfinch862]

very interesting, very clever, very good

[@tooljunkie555]

pretty clever! gettimg my wynn filter wenesday pretty stoked about that thanks again for the fyi on that🍻 HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT DIGITAL ROUTER?? there is a Sears store going out of business near me and they have it on sale for 89.99 with a 30% off tag on it I already have 5 routers but if it's any good and worth the money I might pick it up

[@billfromelma]

Hey James, great video!

[@chekymonkey4452]

nice one

[@toysoldier46552]

Nice guide but I'll keep my plunge router in the specially designed table for it lol. I generally only need to route small things so I have my dremel attachment that does the trick, and I use a guide with it as well.

[@jimhester2004]

Another brilliant idea. Thanks! By the way, do you guys plan to participate in Patreon? I hope so. This is one site I'd gladly support in it.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Awsome

[@b3arwithm3]

This is versatile design. But I find that plywood thickness is almost never exactly matching the common bit sizes

[@StumpyNubs]

Wasn't that specifically addressed in the video? There's a link in the video description for undersized plywood bits.

[@willi1684]

"Plywood is slightly thinner than standard router bits." That's wrong, American router bits are slightly bigger than standard plywood. All plywood is manufactured in metric sizes which is the universal standard except in North America so when you refer to half inch ply what you get is 12 mm but your router bits are 1/2 inch which is 12.7mm, therefore you dont need "special plywood bits" you just need a set of metric bits which are the international standard. Don't take this as a criticism, it's just an observation. Keep up the good work.

[@StumpyNubs]

I am an American. 90 percent of our audience is American. So when I say "standard" I am talking about what is standard HERE, not what is standard word-wide.

[@willi1684]

James, there is no need to get your knickers in a twist. All I said was that if you are using metric material, use a metric bit. What you refer to as a special plywood bit is in fact just a metric bit. they should be readily available even in America. I am sorry if I offended your American sensitivity.

[@StumpyNubs]

I wasn't upset at all. I merely answered your questions. Perhaps you should check your own knickers.

[@willi1684]

Fair enough James, knickers now thoroughly untwisted. I have made two of your edge guides and they work a treat even in the U.K. I like your channel and I will subscribe, thanks.

[@sween187]

for a second I though he said 'bread nails'
