One thing that always stuck with me, “if you going to cut it wrong, cut it long” 😆 i definitely use this one quite often 😅

Love your channel. Also Love how down to earth and relatable you are doing projects without spending crap-loads of money on specialty tools - I custom build cabinets, wood counter tops, floating shelves & desk tops (up to 8 feet long) as well as custom coffee tables and end tables & picture frames along with many other custom wood working projects ( as well as custom stain & lacquer finishing) for a living, I do all my work with basic power hand tools and regular hand tools. I cant tell you how many times I've had "Pro cabinet shops" tell me there's no way i did the work I do without all the fancy costly table saws, router tables etc. I have not once had a customer complain about my work (and yes, I do make custom cabinets that match exactly the builder installed cabinets - though out of plywood & solid dimensional lumber, not the crappy particle board and stickers you get from the builders)

Your work bench...shop bought or home build??. I like the reversible middle as a stop block

Can I recommend a Nobex mitre saw.....thay are not cheap for a hand tool but they cut precise mitres.......makes life very easy for these jobs and in most cases you dont need to use a shooting block.....nice job

If you are going for a table saw take a look at the new Evolution 255 was about to buy the rage 5 and this came out brilliant tool

Hi Pete. Enjoying your videos. One question: what finish did you wipe on these frames?

I have the same router table in my workshop in Tadcaster 😀.

I feel for you with the circular saw scar on your workbench. I have a scarred Black and Decker Workmate top caused by my electric planer and a diagonal cut in one side where a circular saw went off-line. All part of the learning experience!

Great work mate

@roscolife7804 5 ай бұрын

That’s great, I have those tools and always watch too many videos, scaring myself into submission that I can’t do it 🎉

Great build. I think if you can get smaller jobs done well, then the sky is the limit. As and when (and if) you get a table saw, will you review your choice? I've been very happy with my Evolution, but I'm always interested to see what other people are using. Keep up the excellent work 👏🏼

Thanks Iain. If and when it happens, I’m happy to share my thoughts!

Length of your circular saw guide?

Have you tried sawing with a gent saw? (Which is dirt cheap compared to the other dovetail saws with cool handles.) Feel like sawing by hand would be equally fast & less stressfull. At least I rather enjoy it and stabbing out the waste with a small chisel is a bonus.

@northernworks 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for the tip - I just got myself a wee saw for dovetails and other small joinery.

Ideally you want the grain direction running the length of your splines, so that the spline grain is perpendicular to the mitre of the frame.

Good to see the Evo stick wood glue, none of this American Titebond malarkey! 🙂 Could you not have used your router to cut the half laps more easily?

@northernworks 8 ай бұрын

I’ve not tried any other glue, to be honest - it’s just easy to get hold of, innit. I discovered during this build that there are probably a hundred different ways to make frames. It’s cool, because they’re such a low stakes way to practice different joinery techniques

@benholden5998 8 ай бұрын

You could probably do the cut on the router in two passes. Honestly a small second hand table saw isn't that expensive though

@Woodwork-Learner 8 ай бұрын

Nicely done though a couple of things to think about. Using a router with your fingers so close to the bit is not the best idea in the world. Also don't cut too much with a bit at once, you can always run it through again with the bit a bit higher. As for cutting the splines a hand saw would do it easily. You don't always need to jump to using power tools.
