I'm used to larger, corded routers th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
Thanks, I realy appriciate the last part of the video where you so honestly discuss the shortcomings of this design. knowing what NOT to do is a very important part of learning.
Hi, I must say completely without issues that it was such a pleasure to watch a fellow Brit making something so
Intricately instead of our friends across the pond. Everything you purchased is easily available here at home also
Well done.
Hey man, you tried several versions and got a working result in the end. That's a whole lot better than not trying at all, good for you and thanks for the video.
you correctly identified where you got your inspiration and gave credit. Then walked us though challenges in design,. That in itself is actually more useful than a channel that shows only success. Knowing the challenges for newbies like me gives me more information of what I might be getting into. Thanks.
So it's a great journey to illustrate how much better someone else's was. Thumbs up. It saves us a lot of heartache. We've all built jigs we needed that worked and we never use any because there's something so much better. Thanks.
"I'm burned out with this project" Thanks for your honesty! That was a really refreshing change. It's extremely rare to see humility on TH-cam videos. --- Also: your TH-cam wood sign is so nice it made me want to click on it ;)
I greatly appreciate your time and then the commentary on the good, the bad and the disappointing. I watched Pask Makes just prior to your video and you are spot on with the info.
Brilliant video, appreciate the amount of thought that went into the project, but most of all your honesty. We never stop learning when we do these kind of projects and you have helped a lot of fellow TH-camrs. Good job mate.
I love those glimpses of the kitty. It makes me smile every time.
"Hello!" That was hilarious. I love the quality videos you always produce and I appreciate your honesty about the project. Definitely a lot of work went into it and at least it wasn't all to waste. Can't wait to see the next video.
It makes me very glad that you got full enjoyment out of the accidental, anthropomorphic "faces" when they manifested themselves. Likewise, I'm glad for your transparency on all aspects of this build. Just a very well rounded video.
The truth is that you just offerrd New ideas and possibilities for other projects. Thanks for your honesty and well done 👏 👏
It took me 2 years to write LOL
I learned a lot seeing your workflow and thought process. I learned even more from your honest evaluation of the shortcomings.
Thanks for your honest thoughts regarding this project. I’m in awe of anyone who attempts to make a tool.
Good effort Keith. I really appreciate you taking the time to share the good and the bad. Found that so helpful 👍
Very enjoyable upload👍👍
You’re honesty is refreshing and your learning curve will probably help others.
Love it that you show Dylan relaxing in the sunshine too!
It's quite an undertaking! Thanks for sharing your experience. And thanks for all your excellent content.
You are always honest in your videos and i love it. Trying is make something so congrats for your work. Thanks for the time consumming to make a video of your interesting attempt 😁👍🏻
an excellent video showing the highs and lows of such a project. i like your honesty too
Excellent honest appraisal Keith! Your ideas and comparisons are very helpful to anyone looking at building one of these. Thanks!
Nice one Keith, like your honesty about the project. I paid for Neil's plans (they are well worth the 10 Aus dollars) and followed his design, I just added oil point on the slides to keep things "moist". I must admit i was going to go your route with the 8mm collet as finding a 6mm spiral bit for my router was difficult. But i managed to get one at Wealdons in the end. Anyway i have one now and use it when i want more strength than biscuits and i can't be bothered to do mortice and tenons. I totally admire your ability to complete projects and film them, keep up the good work.
Makes you appreciate how good the tools companys' make, are. My almost retired boss always went on about how good the tools today are and he wished he was an apprentice today

Great honest video, and tool makers never get it right first time either. I think it's great you made that tool and was honest about the results to .
Well done, it’s good that you gave it a shot and learnt something from it.. I’m sure you will still use it for future projects..Enjoyed the video and your work..
I really respect your honesty, I still think that it is very normal to design something then modify it 10 times or more,so don't give up.
Thanks for sharing. 😁
Great video and thanks for the candor at the end. I applaud your efforts and appreciate your sharing. I've built several jigs and have had my triumphs and disappointments and have to say you did a great job.
It helps a lot showing us where it went wrong and the whole build and concept of the road you went down. I am sure you will find in your work along the way the experience reminds you and stops you buggering up paid work.
Don’t beat yourself up. The project was challenging, you had a go (4 times) and produced something that worked. The project was well presented as well and was entertaining. Well done.
Thank you!
You have made a fantastic job to this Keith, really inspiring video. Thanks.
Really no need for apology! Thank you you for sharing your experience
Mate you should not apologise. You took your time to show us your take on the project. Neil also went through some prototypes. After watching your video it did make me happy that I got Neil’s plans. Thanks for sharing Keith.
It's nearly 2022 and I'm just finding this. I enjoyed watching this video, seeing your process, and I appreciate your thoughts at the end. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your project, for investing your time.
everything you did and showed will surely help others to improve but with the knowledge that you leave here and that will save time for those who want to continue improving it.
very good work.
greetings from Argentina
Think I have just been watching “I Build It”, Norwich. Thanks for sharing Keith
High praise!! Cheers 👍
It was really amazing to watch your chanle grow so rapidly I remember your videos in which you were using your table saw on the floor
Again! Another amazing video great work Keith keep up the fantastic work can’t wait until the next build
The conclusions are really useful. Regardless of how good the design or execution is, it does not come close to the original. For all those who appreciate the system from Festool, frustration intervenes when you have to purchase it. The more attempts to replace the tool appear, the more you realize that it is worth the money.
Entertained I am sure ! Finaly a video of about 20 minutes! 10 minutes per week is not enough of you're good content! Love the work as always Keith kinds regards from the Netherlands!
Thank you!
I love your truthfulness. Thank you.
Thank you for your honesty, It looks so easy in video and like it worked flawlessly, but it is quite tricky to get right....
A bit late to the party here, but thanks for a refreshingly honest video.
Many makers edit out mistakes/re-shoot footage/don't upload, in order put forth only what they perceive to be what viewers want....a perfect build.
That's not the case - learning and experience come from recognizing what does, and doesn't work as intended.
Real life projects don't always work out, there's always some hiccups and especially more-so when adapting your own plans from those of someone else. What didn't work for you, might inspire another viewer to head down a different track and come up with a solution.
Your time spent producing this video, for the benefit of others, is greatly appreciated. Do not feel that your time spent on this project was wasted...."If I could have my time back again, I would have just bought Neil's plans and built that...." would not have given you an opportunity to try out different approaches to the same goal, and learn from your own experience.
Subbed from this vid alone, and now off to watch some of your other content.
Thanks for your channel Keith.
Great hearing your pros and cons. I see myself making a "sloppy" version of Neil's mortiser, but getting your thoughts on a slightly less processed one had me re think it.
Subscribed because of your honesty at the end, I could see myself saying the same thing. made me smile
Hahaha! "And then I forgot how hot the metal gets when you cut it"!!!! Genial! It happened to me countless times!!!
Great effort mate. An honest and fair video as usual, keep up the good work.
Impressed by your honest assessment.
I love the fact tried this project you might got right finished result wanted but you would learnt so much from experience
Keep up the good work🙋🙋🙋
Your candour and honesty is good
Hi Keith just watched your video,and I agree with you entirely,you never try to build something really complicated without detailed plans,they're an absolute godsend,they are there all the time to be used again and again,your vidio is a very good vidio but your own admission proves the point!plans plans plans,but your video is worth a thumbs up
Thanks Colin
Good effort. Thanks for sharing your experience and lessons learned.
Thanks for showing your interesting project and your honest review.
James
I think a success all round - you're wiser and better for the experience. Well done.Best aye!
You get 10 points for honesty.
Dear Keith, I appreciate your honesty but I wouldn’t be too harsh on yourself. Many people exaggerate the good in their work and gloss over the flaws. All this means is you have a very good starting point for a revision that takes all the good features and corrects the bad ones. That’s how a good product gets made. Nothing of quality happens easily. Well done.
Great video. I appreciate your honesty and candor.
You're such an honest man Sir Keith. Cudos
Thanks for your honesty, but it still is very unique, nice job...
Great honest build. Nice to see the rough with the smooth - too much edited perfection is alienating.
I don’t know if you ever read these comments but truly an awesome job buddy, I’ve been watching since the beginning and I can’t believe how for you’ve come in your woodworking AND video making . You’re an inspiration !
I read them all, I don’t always respond though as there are so many. Thank you!! 👍
PARABÉNS, adorei ver seu trabalho, quanta habilidade e criatividade!!!
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Well done..yes I agree..a lot of work but fantastic effort and challenging too.
Good video, I just bought this router. You convinced me to stick with a mortise jig for now. 👍
Great video. Love your honesty. Will try one day to make myself one.
Thank you!
I love the honesty. I subscribed.
Really enjoyed your video.... was thinking of making my own version too, but thanks to your advice I think I will invest in the plans 👍😊
Educational, thank you for your efforts.
Good Job Keith! keep up the excellent videos!
I made Pasks following his plans. The dust collection on it is really surprising.
Highly entertaining, particularly all the faces! Very honest and if I ever treat my self to a trim router, you have convinced me to buy Neil's plan.
But may even try a jig like Peter Millard's.
16:00 i will forever be reminded of this every time i go to the dentist, thanks Keith *sobs*
Keith, having watched the video to the end I think you were quite hard on yourself. Nothing is ever perfect but you actually succeeded in what you set out to do even if there are multiple things you would change in a future iteration. I learned a lot out of this video and I bet you have totally inspired many to build something like this. I am one of them. Take care mate. Great job!
Thank you!
Some good research there mate thanks. Planning to make one of these so it's great reference material. gotta love TH-cam aye!
One of the things I really like about you Keith is your honesty and pragmatism. I hear what you’re saying about the time investment vs end result, but the experience you gained is beyond measure. You still have that thing you can use in a pinch without shelling out a fortune and your problem solving skills have been further honed. It may not feel like it when there is paid work piling up and putting pressure on but it’s still a win in the grand scheme of things. 👍🏻
Cheers Matt. Still want a domino though haha!
Rag 'n' Bone Brown Don’t we all! But unless I sell a kidney there isn’t going to be one on the horizon! 😂
Glad you are making friends in the workshop with all those faces.
Good job, congratulations !
I like your honesty
Thanks for posting!
Another great video again. I'm glad u have done this because it's good to see u challenge yourself. I look forward to your videos every Friday and always enjoy them. I also like that things don't always work out perfectly and that u are honest with the good and bad points. And yes it would have been easy to buy plans or a domino, and yes time is money (especially because u are doing more time in your shop these days) but sometimes it's just got to be fun, or a challenge, or just interesting. Keep doing what u do, it's all good.
Thanks Mark
60k + subscribers! Extremely well done mate!
Thanks!
Beautiful
On my router jigs I always us the base to permanently attached a cheaper router. I find that it hold much better than hose clamps and I work around that. Good idea but it looks very time consuming. Nice quality vid and your honestly is appreciated. Thanks.
😂HALLO! 😂
A valiant effort, mate👍
Neil is a brilliant maker, in a class of his own👌
great tip and great video, Thanks, I did learn a new trick
For centering beveled boards along both sides so it would self center in those. I hink you simplified it nicely, an I could see your learning as you went. Good video, I liked it too.
The "hello" s when the faces show up, cracked me up.
Well done, its all learning
Excellent work and loved the video.....Keep on making them buddy !! : ) : ) : )
Amazing!
Great concept!
Great..! :)
A few tips: when you countersink in metal do it slow...very slow and you won't get that star pattern as the bit wobbles all over the place.
If you want to smooth the rails use some very fine water-resistant emery cloth for the finish. You can put a mirror-like finish on almost every piece of metal that way. I use it frequently on my stainless steel constructions and it never failed to perform (I'm a blacksmith btw..).
Good to hear honest review. Still seems handy though, perhaps if you can get a cheap 2nd hand router you can leave it set up for those odd times you need it. Good learning for future projects ash least
Brilliant video, You show not only a build process but also You make some opinions about how project works or not :) I love Your videos, im glad i subscribed because im "weekend woodworker" and i can see what path should i take and why :)) waiting for more :)
Domino! Festool! Good job, bro
Hallo!! I spat my drink out 😂😂
super concept bonne vidéo à plus Jean
Interesting project and entertaining video. I think I will make do with dowels for now. Lol
I don’t blame you! 😂
Excellent!!!
Very good!!
