    Great video! Just what a newbie like me needs. I too appreciated no music, no screaming or shouting into the camera like some other presentations I have watched! Very clear and yes - for those who commented about MDF - I did get that you need a mask when cutting MDF; you did say that in the video and you were only cutting a very small amount of it. Good job and thank you.

    I, too, am a router newbie. I had been a teacher, coach and trainer for about 30 years, so I can easily appreciate the planning and skills in the setup for these lessons. It was right there at my experience and head level. I've used different tools and skillsets, but this class is going to help me with projects almost immediately, so I am totally appreciative. Thanks already. As I sat to have my dinner on my deck, my eyes started looking around at the woodcraft around me, chairs, railings, shelves, steps, supports and flowerboxes. Oh, God am I going to have a wonderful time with my new tool when it arrives this weekend. Wish me luck. I'm just planning on enjoying, planning and careful execution. Thanks.

    Simplify your circle jig. Pick a guide brushing. Drill a hole in the jig that matches the OD of the brushing. Put the brushing on the router and just drop into the hole and go. This eliminates the need to screw the router to the jig.

    Great video. I didn't close it in case I couldn't find it again! Yes, I have now subscribed, so I can close it. I am surprised to see so many people offering you advice. I thought this was a vid for beginners like me who really appreciate the no-nonsense, step by step approach. This single video will make a big difference to how I use my router. It is impossible to cover everything in 30mins but you covered a lot, everyone knows and accepts there are multiple ways to skin every cat.

    Nice job. If you cut the far side of the dado first, you can use a spacer the same thickness of the material and cut the second pass. This way, it's not necessary to measure and set twice.

  • @all1saidwas
    @all1saidwas 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Good video. Points to note though, if you make your cut in 2 or 3 passes your bit will stay sharper for longer you won't burn the workpiece you'll avoid the potential of the bit deflecting, possibly snapping under load ruining the workpiece and causing yourself serious injury

    • @HenryPiffpaff

    • @dtwistrewind7361
      @dtwistrewind7361 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Blunt force he removed too much material at once it creates more heat that deforms the bits surface quicker than multiple passes at lower resistance, also he is dragging the bit through the wood hence the wonky slots for the dado.

    • @goatsears
      @goatsears 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also it will preserve the life of the router motor, (imagine a small family car trying to tow a large trailer with heavy machinery on it) if the router was a larger machine 2000w or so then a single pass would be possible but even then better to do it in a couple of passes.

    If you put the two pieces on top of each other, the first groove would also be transferred to the bottom piece as you go through the top piece. Then all you had to do was finish the second one off. You'd have identical grooves.

    Correct me if I’m wrong….in determining the nail point wouldn’t it depend on if you want a 10” hole cut out of your work piece - or if you need a 10” circle? You said measure to the outside edge of the cutter. My brain is telling me it needs to be the inside edge if the circular board is your work piece.

  • @Michael-kf6bc
    @Michael-kf6bc 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you take a close at the router he hasn't fully locked the depth adjustment, you can see the locked and unlocked picture on the plastic housing of the router. There is a extra click when you are securing the base back on to the router that locks the depth screw into place on this particular Bosch router. If its not engaged you will end up with a deeper plow than expected in the middle or end of your run.

I'm going to be making christmas gifts soon, (all my scrap wood) will be glued into color pattern panels, for desk top speakers, stash boxes with hidden compartments, and hopefully I can find some patterns for some 3D wooden puzzles, that kind of stuff.

      Except he pushes lack of confidence using a router and also states he finds it "tricky", to aline the router with his line and in fact botches it up and makes a very loose joint. For someone that is a first-time user of a router, this would not fill them with confidence in using a dangerous power tool. I honestly think he should have been a baker with hands like that, kneading dough all day would be right up his street. Baking and dough kneading for say, simple buns is less taxing and does not need much skill as long as we can be assured he can read the instructions to the recipe and not have his mind wander too much.

    To make accurate centers for drilling holes to match something like a router base, just take out a drill bit from your set of bits that is the same size as the hole, place it in the hole and hit it with something - a piece of scrap wood, a hammer, whatever. Viola, a centered mark. Even a old, blunt drill is good enough. If you are doing this sort of thing regularly you can buy a set of 'Transfer Punches' from any number of online sources that will mark wood, steel or plastic without being damaged.

    2. There is nothing to stop the router chewing into the jig base plate particularly if the stock is thinner material and sits lower than the base plate

    3:51 Thought I noticed the arm of the guide was sitting above the base of the router and was thinking it wont sit flush on the wood and the angle of the dado won't be true (90deg), 6:16 confirms and even more obvious at 6:51 where you can see the shadow between the base of the router and the wood.

    I didnt watch the entire video but don't forget to inform viewers a router MUST travel from left to right or a clockwise direction otherwise doing the opposite direction pushes the router in an unwanted direction . Clockwise pulls the router fence to the work piece which is the correct procedure. Good Luck fellow woodworkers.

      The preferred way to travel depends on whether you're routing inside or outside. Conventional cutting means you push against the direction the bit spins. Climb cutting is when you go the way the router wants to grab and run. Conventional is easier to control but climb leaves a cleaner finish.

      Agreed with replier I have now after 7-8 years of daily woodworking found that more often than not climb cut to get a better finish especially in oak/ash and softwoods that tend to tear out and burn just not for beginners for sure but it done consciously & safely there is not absolute rule that it must go left to right and clockwise

    11:20, why didn't you just line up the boards and plunge down through the first slot?

      Neil Rossiter he must like extra steps. That second project where he marked his drill hole..... could have just drilled through the existing hole 🤷‍♂️.
      Wood working is fun. I have been known to take the long road sometimes just for the enjoyment of it. But not while instructing others on how to do something.

    Like your video. What I do is not go so deep on the first cut. I rather make 4 passes. go half the distance on the first cut. Reset for the final depth. It saves the bit and less strain on your router also no burn marks

    I love Bosch (the 1617 EVSPK is my favorite... still after all these years) but they need better dust collection.

    Thanks. You've proved that anyone can have a woodworking channel on TH-cam. So many mistakes I don't even know where to start.
