your not the only one,when i saw the video in my timeline the first thought that popped into my head was "where the hell has Steve been,has he been on vacation and forgot to tell us?" lol
@@woodworksbygrampies1284 I mean, part of the niche of his videos is that he's got good charisma and personality and mix that in with his skill and experience, 45 second videos don't cut it! And though, it's geared towards beginner woodworking, it'd be great to see him take on some complex projects and flex that big brain of his! haha
@@jakeschroeder1553 Hi Jack, Oddly enough saw an online article about the timber shortage in North America and how it is being artificially generated by the suppliers to jack up the prices, photos showed railway depots full of timber being held there instead of being shipped, photos could have been old or stock, article could have been nothing more than BS, who knows but if it is true, it is a crime, thankfully we have had no increase in the price of timber here in Britain, take care.
Looks as if there were a lot of people being happy to see a new video from WWMM. I started thinking "I have not seen a video from Steve in a while, I hope he is ok."
Steve, I retired from the military after 31 years of service. I have always wanted to learn woodworking as my hobby but was unsure of how to begin. I stumbled across your videos and have appreciated your teaching. I have a long way to go but I’m having fun learning and I’m doing it a lot more safely! Thanks again, I really enjoy your teaching and your encouragement!
Thank you for this video. I just bought my first table saw and using these will save my fingers Haha. I also went back and watch all your safety tips on using tables saw. You are like the Bill Nye of the wood world.
One thing scroll saw work taught me. Put a full layer of packing tape down on a board before using spray adhesive. When you are done cutting it makes pulling the template off quick and easy.
Just taking a moment to thank you for making those channels with a drill and jigsaw so that those of us without a $400 plunge router don't feel left out and can still follow along. You rock!
i just want to says thanks for not playing music in the background. there’s so many vids that’s do this and it’s difficult to hear sometimes especially if one older or just bad hearing . ask me how i know . 😅
Just my two cents but you can make the screw and expanding wood runner work if you just use a cutting wheel on a Dremel or a 1/16" cutting disc on an angle grinder and just touch the screwhead on two opposite outside edges on the underside of the bugle very lightly. It just takes a few seconds and creates just enough of a burr for it to catch. The real issue for me with the DIY expanding wood runner is that they tend to break and crack fairly easily with enough tension to keep the feather board stable in the slot.
Hello, I'm Mike and I've recently got into woodworking and I stumbled across your videos. They are very useful and I will be building a few of your projects. I like the feather boards and really like the push block! It awesome that you are finding cheap ways to make useful tools. It really helps newcomer's like myself get going on projects that would be difficult without these very useful tools!!! Thank you so much, and can't wait to watch more!!! Happy building!!!😁
Steve if nothing else fails at least you are always about to see me through the day and really you are the only guy on utube who give you everything for free very much appreciated from me anyway and I'm sure to the many viewers you get as well.keep up the good work keeping everyone sane in this sad times weird ourselves in. God bless Billy from Scotland.uk
Hey Stev, I took up woodworking during the lockdown up here in Ontario. The warm weather is finally arriving and I'm looking forward to getting back in to it:) I definitely would have hurt myself last year if it wasn't for your helpful videos. Thank-you so much for making and sharing them :)
Very instructive video. One thing to add is that cutting the first (front?) finger a little shorter can speed up positioning of the board since you can place the shorter finger against the board without applying pressure making clamping it down easier.
Hi Steve, I just made one in twenty minutes. Awesome stuff. I will say that a wooden mitre slot lock will work. You don't need the metal one. I just tried it because my hardware store doesn't have a ton of specialty stuff with a counter sunk walnut block split on one side. It locks very firmly. Might be an easy scrap wood alternative.
I got bored this morning because I wake up early and don't know how to relax so I went to all the hardware store around me and found the Grr-ripper 3D at Menards and picked it up immediately! Love your videos and couldn't resist getting it because of how highly you've talked about it.
I used a carriage bolt and a grinder to make two of those bolts with the ears on it. I bought a kit from Rockler and lost both of the longer bolts that came with it (so you can stack two feather boards for edge ripping taller stock). Literally just grinded down until the head looked similar to the original bolts and it worked just fine.
Good to see you!! Thank you for sharing this information and demonstration. Very useful 👌. Love videos. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family and kitties 😸❤.
I made one of these this weekend, I like the vertical setup, any suggestions for mounting on a saw with crappy/ non-existent T-track? I was given a skill table saw and found myself trying to mount it through the holes in the top. A new saw is out of budget until my money stops growing wings 🙁💸
S T E V E!!! You can't do this to us. I hope you and the family are all well. I see you post the shorts and that let's me know you are there and assume all is OK. As you can read below, we do get concerned when you are not there for a while. GREAT video, packed with lots of information. Thanks for sharing this, looking forward to the next video.
Hi, Steve. I'm glad to hear from you. You always have great ideas to make usefull projects and save money. Wish I have such gift. Thank you for sharing.
It's so amazing to have the metric plans as well!!! Thank you for this - I'm just getting into wood working and watching content is great but most of TH-cam ideas and jigs aren't in Metric! Makes it that much harder for a newbie! Thank you for solving this problem!
Really useful, thank you for sharing this info. Just a small thing on price differences. In the UK those elevator bolts cos about $50 for two. The mag clam is about $100 each. But I did manage to get the feather boards set up using the info you supplied, so thanks again. :-D
Absolutely perfect timing! I've been wracking my head with how to safely resaw a thin board for a project I'm working on. This looks like it would be just the ticket!!
Fantastic, Steve! Thanks a lot! 😃 I just searched for those screws here in Brazil and found nothing... 😬 I'm eventually going to find something... But those things are difficult here. 😕 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Wow! I am new to woodworking and I LOVE this idea of a feather board! I could have used it today while I was making some cuts, but instead, I butchered what I was trying to cut and said, "To Hell with it," and went and had some Death By Chocolate ice cream instead. I also just found out about your jig site, and so I went over there as well and downloaded those plans! I love your channel, Steve, and look forward to watching them all! Thanks for all of your fantastic videos! Have a most excellent weekend!!
I discovered your channel during COVID and have enjoyed them immensely. One topic where I would appreciate knowing your thoughts is what do you do with left over wood? I see you have some storage behind you in this video. When you have a cut off from a project, what thought process do you go through to decide if the bit of wood is worth saving for a future project or is destined for the scrap bin? After years of woodworking on a budget, I have piles of stuff lying around and it is time to sort through it, so thoughts from you and others would probably be illuminating. Thanks.
So glad to see you back man. Love the wicker men on your wall. Thanks for the templates. Deffo makes life easier..... especially not buying any more of these.
Hey Steve! Thanks! I am new to carpentry and have bought myself a table saw and am enjoying making some of your jigs. I had a fail today and wondered whether you mentioned grain importance specifically in regards to the feather board…… I learnt a valuable lesson today 😂😂😂
I was just thinking today how much I miss daily Steve!
your not the only one,when i saw the video in my timeline the first thought that popped into my head was "where the hell has Steve been,has he been on vacation and forgot to tell us?" lol
Exactly, love your teaching and sense of humor.
It was always the best part of my day
Yes, miss it a lot as well!
Great, I missed the longer videos. Thank you
Definitely enjoy these longer videos of watching you work rather than the shorts.
It may be wrong to say, but I completely agree with you Jamson.
Yes! 100 times! This!

Glad to see you back Sir, you have been sorely missed.
He had to save up. Those two pieces of scrap pine were $50 each! 😂

I was delighted to see the “extra fancy” graphic!😄
Looks as if there were a lot of people being happy to see a new video from WWMM. I started thinking "I have not seen a video from Steve in a while, I hope he is ok."
I really like how he went through all the different bolting options.
Not a #short, I'll watch that!
Yeah! All hail the landscape mode! 😎
Thanks for the depth you went to regarding the hold-down methods. So many times a video maker just glosses over such details.
This detail is what makes him one of the best! I appreciate that as well KD.
The sped up video of sanding inside the slot made me think of velcroing sandpaper to an old Sawzall blade.
yay another installment from one of my favorite channels; thanks for your hard work
So true Robert, he's one of the best.
Extra long, extra fine and extra fancy. Extra good video.
Win! Win! And win!!! Very true Penny.

I like the fancy one!

Steve, where have you been? I've been jonesing for your videos. I had to watch old ones. 🤣
Fantastic work on the video, Steve!
Aside from all of the information provided, the presentation in the video is top notch. I agree with you.
Thanks will build some this week.
Yay! Finally! A real video!

Hi Steve Thank you for the Plans
Was missing you Steve. Nice feather in the cap
Always has been and always will be one of the best things to happen to TH-cam and one of the biggest reasons YT is what it is...
Thank You Legend.
That feather board is more perfect than anything I’ve ever made.
It’s been waaaaaaaay too long since we’ve had a proper Steve video. I was having withdrawals.
Pretty simple, but looks effective.
Always giving the best woodwork tips. Thanks, Steve!

Lol. Was making some sloppy cuts on my table saw yesterday and just gave up.. this video has really helped show me where I was going wrong. Thank you.
This looks like a good Saturday morning project for me to tackle. Thanks Steve
I miss your pallet wood projects.
Love these ideas. I really need a jigsaw.
Glad to have you back Steve, and just in time! I was thinking yesterday that I need to make some featherboards for my new router table.
Excellent. Now I must get to the shop and get busy.....
A standard length video! Welcome back - we missed you!!!!
This has been super helpful to me as a newbie woodworker! Also, great haircut!

Great tips Steve... thanks!
Modified Steve’s plan to made a crosscut sled 24x14 inches for my Hitachi C10FR job site saw. Works great

Man Steve, I wish I could hand sand as fast as you! Ha ha ha ha! One of your best, helpful videos for me in a while
Very instructive video. One thing to add is that cutting the first (front?) finger a little shorter can speed up positioning of the board since you can place the shorter finger against the board without applying pressure making clamping it down easier.
Another good one Steve. All ready planning on making mine.
This video came at the perfect time! Cheers!
Great content. Glad to see you Steve after a while.
I like that the extra fancy version has a sort of art deco thing going on.
Thumbs up and thanks for posting.
You are de Jigs Guy. Thanks for sharing
"Where's the fun in that?"
Nailed it again, Steve. DIYers/woodworkers who buy commercial featherboards are still a puzzle to me.
The legend returns

I just tried it because my hardware store doesn't have a ton of specialty stuff with a counter sunk walnut block split on one side. It locks very firmly. Might be an easy scrap wood alternative.
You can try a cam+nut pulling the bolt from above, for your wooden expanding lock.

I see you setting up for the Halloween video.. YES!
I must have missed that... love the Halloween vids.
Timely return Steve. Need to make featherboard(s) for my new Evolution table saw. Thank you :)
Awesome video. Will be making these for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Yes me too,from halfway across the globe☺️🙋 missing Steve's videos

Ik i’m very late to the game but I’m making these tomorrow for sure! I was gonna buy some Bow brand ones but I think these look fun. Thanks Steve!

You have great explanations. I am very new to wood working and need a better understanding, of everything...
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Nice to see you back Steve. No pressure to add more videos, was just wondering if you were ok. Hang in there.

Really glad to see you back, Steve! I was definitely missing my fix of WWMM and this is a great project, too!
Completely agree with you Stephen.
The return of EXTRA FANCY!
Love you Steeeeve ♥️⚡️
Great video! I've never knew what feather boards were used for. Thanks! I've learned a lot from you over the years.
Nicely explained and demonstrated as usual. Thanks, Steve.
I literally just thought of making a few of this. Thank you very much!
I missed you Steve. Glad to see you back doing great vids. Cheers!

Fantastic, Steve! Thanks a lot! 😃
I just searched for those screws here in Brazil and found nothing... 😬
I'm eventually going to find something... But those things are difficult here. 😕
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Soooooo good! Love your videos. Cheers from Scotland 🏴

You are rocking with all these tips! Thanks!

Good stuff Steve, gotta go with the EXTRA FANCY one. AND thanks for the template! !! !!!
