- When I did the circle cutting jig for the Festool router, I said I wasn't making a video of building a cajon. But I have some improvements. So I have.
This uses the circle-cutting jig for which there is a dedicated video - • Circle-Cutting Jig for... .
I've seen tons of videos about how to have an adjustable snare but this was the best, Thank you.
I love this. My father has just given me the hardwood he had prepared to make me another guitar about 40 years ago. So I now plan to use 3mm hardwood tapas. I used to have a Rickenbacher bass like the one you are playing, but now fretless bass, bodhran and a large collection of guitars. Off to start my first cajon now. Thanks.
John, what a beautiful video. You explanation is perfect, ideas are excellent, and viewing is very calming. Thank you for the instruction.
Very Nice design. On my Cajon I put my snare adjustment knob on the outside. I can keep playing without missing a beat to adjust if I want snare or not.
Great video. I will definitely try this method
The music at the end is good.
Congratulations for the work!
Nice detailed video. Liked the right angle drill guide!
They make metric Forstner bits? :)
thanks for your effort. very detailed video. very informative. 👍👍
Sir so detail video really thanks for that, but it wud have be a great if you had cover how the adjustment works by moving up down and how it gets locked, was very excited to see that and thought that it will be covered at end of video but unfortunately not.
Thank you!
Thanks for this John. I made one from your design and it works great. Great inspiration to see you taking the best from others as inspiration and then making something better. Your videos are also very well done so thanks for making a stand for the brits! :-D
Great. I'm glad it helped. Thanks.
Cześć mógł byś mi przesłać wymiarowe bo chce zrobić sobie takiego cajon pozdrawiam i z góry dzięki
So I have no equipment or skills. Do you sell these.
Obrigado John! Perfect.
Funny that they won't let you have a stacked dado cutter but run 220VAC to every electrical outlet.

hello a question, what is the name of the song that sounds at the end of the video?
'This Is The Life', by Amy Macdonald
Thank you very much, now I can make my own cajon
Hello, snare Is it better to be long or short?
That'd a good question; and I don't know. There's probably a length that is too short where the wires' vibrations are damped too quickly.
Thank you
Hello Yiannis from Athens.
My son asked for one of these boxes.
Seeing your video I saw these snear wires, if I heard correctly.
My question. Where do you get them. Thank you in advance.
They are 'snare' wires, normally found on the bottom of a snare drum. I bought mine at a drum shop. Any good musical instrument shop should be able to help you. Or you could probably get them online from a drum seller.
Great craftsmanship, but why on earth did you not countersink the tappa screws?
Bellissimo video, molto istruttivo, complimenti.
Thanks
Nice video and a great sound in the final product. Do you have the plans available to download somewhere?
If you're on TH-cam, there's a link to a web page in the description. And that has a link to the plans. However, I can't guarantee I updated them in the light of any discoveries during the build.
@@DustAndFilings The webpage in the details is a placeholder with no content that I can see.
@@MrWaldorfian Sorry about that. I am in the middle of a move and one of the things that's going is that website. As soon as I get a proper PC again, I'll correct the web address.
Diameter of the opening hole 10 cm or 12 and who is better
I made it just big enough for my hand to go in; and more importantly, to come out again through. 9 cm in my case.
Very helpful.... thanks a lot...
why not put the piece vertically to do the rebate on the table saw? Also, great videos, great content, finally from someone who isn't all the way across the pond.
I do sometimes cut rebates that way: two cuts on the table saw, lengthways, perpendicular to each other. But if I remember rightly, I didn't do it that way this time because although I do have a tall auxilliary rip fence, I don't have decent featherboards and ensuring that 30 cm tall pieces stayed exactly vertical seemed a bit too much of an accuracy and safety challenge. However, I must sort out what I'm going to do re featherboards.
And thank you for your kind words.
at least people "across the pond" don't call rabbets rebates or clamps cramps. Very odd.
Thanks sir
Sangarr..gawekke bajal
fajny ten stolek sobie zrobiles
Awesome tutorial in woodwork and cajon building. Judging by your long nails you must be a flamenco guitar player. Cheers
Not flamenco, but certainly finger-picking. And I was alway forgetting to trim the right-hand nails before making a video.
I imagine youd have to explain yourself every time some1 points out the long nails. Would be an entertaining point of discussion among classical/flamenco/bossa guitarists :) Cheers
Dang... you're building a cajon, not a Strativarius Violin. Get on with it and finish it. You're over engineering it to the max!
Oh, by the way' it's rabbit joints, not rebates!
Would that be a Stradivarius? Great work thanks John
You have a 5000$ investment of machinery, to make a cajon worth 50$.
What a silly presentation...😠
