you got a good mix of tight engineering thinking w casual humor and stress free thinking... that combination is a gift.
"Any inconvenience makes me not wanting to do it anymore" amen, preaching to the choir. Glad to know Im not the only one
Agreed. I would go further by saying I would try to consider re-designing what I'm making so I didn't have to suffer the inconvenience...
that's me.
i'll gladly help friend and family with what they can't do by themselves, but by this point i expect that which does not require my abilities to already be done.
like when i am asked to move heavy furniture, i expect that it has been emptied out, and the path to it's destination cleared, before i get there.
Glad I'm not the only one that felt this way also. I feel the shame slowly fading away.
Amen to that 🤘
When i’m making something out of sheet goods, i usually take advantage of the 2 free cuts per sheet at the store. I have them overcut the pieces by 1/8-1/4”, makes manhandling the pieces much easier.
It's been proven throughout history, that a lazy person can develop the easiest, usually efficient way to complete a project. Bravo sir.
The more things you make, the more tools you need. And the more tools you have, the more things you can make :) Wonderfull loop it is.
Great video!!! Might have to make this one.
and Ryobi is happy to sell them to him.
@@sirBrouwer and you can pay 5x more for the same kind shit, but in a different color....like yellow, or red....
@@xplaur wait Ryobi has more colours than green?
@@sirBrouwer Well yes, Ryobi One is yellow, but they are owned by TTI, who also owns Milwaukee
Mind you, for the first time today I see that the Ryobi One is also green and not yellow, just a very light green lol
This project alone deserves a subscription. Genius idea.
Neato. I have no use for such a thing myself, being a huge coward who would no sooner own a table saw than a live crocodile, but my father does a lot of woodworking, and I've seen him have similar struggles with plywood. As soon as this goes public I'll be pointing him at it. :)
My dad has a similar aversion to power tools, but he does use a lot of hand tools. He still uses a reel mower on hills. I like power tools, but lots of things are better done by hand tools, like precise miter cuts.
@@buddyclem7328 Reel mowers are awesome though! As long as you keep the blades sharp, as with anything that cuts.
Hahaa! That's hilarious, table saw/crocodile. :D I am on the opposite end of that spectrum, the more power tools the better.
You and Wesley Treat have some of the best sawing, screwing, and nailing editing...always brings a smile to my face.
yeah, but Steve1989's spoon taps are unequaled
Of all the woodworking videos I've seen, this was perhaps the most useful one for me.
Very cool Robert! I wonder if anyone has 3D printed the smaller components to build your rail/track system? Seems like 3D printed components (or maybe even billet aluminum) would outlast the wood in a situation like this where repeated compression could deform the mating surfaces over time and become less accurate.
Absolutely love this! I wish I had checked this out much sooner! It would've made a plywood project I did recently a much easier job. Thank you for all these ideas! You're helping an old man set up his first woodworking shop with a far better outcome than originally planned!
gl with ur woodwork shop
Absolutely freaking genius!!!!! Your creation is in my top 5 of absolute favorite videos I've ever seen on TH-cam! This build is so perfect. When I get my workshop set up, I want to try and make this along with a bunch of other stuff. I don't have a table saw yet, but I have the other basic tools and should be able to create something like this. Thank you for your time in making this video and sharing with us this awesome problem solving creation. Thumbs up and new subscriber here. I like your videos. You are detailed enough and entertaining to watch. Your videos are long enough, but not overloaded with extra time and talking on and on like some video makers do. It feels like we're hanging out in your shop with you. PS: I love your shirt with the smart car that says Not Smart. That's hilarious and awesome.
Your granite work bench is worth my subscription. And well done on the build.
Agreed! There ARE those videos that merit more than a "like" :(
This being one of them.
I guess that's what the comment section is for. :)
Fast becoming my favourite wood working channel!
Nicely thought out and executed alternative to the $200, $300, and $400 commercial solutions from Seneca Festool, and Woodpeckers respectively.
Ahh, the Festering Stool, home of the high end wood elves and carbohydrate foam dabblers alike. (AvE)
Kreg Accu-Cut track/sled, amazing and
That is a very clever solution you developed to eliminating points for measurement error. I have the same problem with breaking down plywood. It takes me 20 minutes to get one cut done, making sure my guide is where I need it, making sure I accounted for the kerf and that I'm cutting on the correct side of my measurement, etc.
Right! Breaking down plywood is hands-down my least favorite part of any project.
Great cost effective tracksaw substitute. Nice jig.
Well done Robert, you are very talented.
The idea for using adjustable measuring rods for the track saw is brilliant. Makes so much sense. Nice one 👍
Excellent design! I would suggest that when you make the measurement to place the measuring tape turn the assembly over and measure on the flat side and not over the clamp rails. Then carry the measurement around to the top with a square.
I already have the "homebrew saw track" but never thought of this, its brilliant!
You're probably my favorite wood working guy to watch. Keep it up buddy
Bought your plans. I know like most I would make it without plans but people who watch should support. Keep it up.
This is the best that I have seen.
I love this! Similar to something I used a long time ago but for different reasons. I would clamp down those stops to stop the guide from bowing when cutting long 8 foot lengths. Back then my saw had to be pushed into the track to keep it straight and I sort of had a tendency to push too hard and I would get a 1/16 to 1/8 in width difference in the middle. These are something I wish I’ll done back then. They would have saved me sooooo much prep time between cuts. Great work, great presentation!
Wow😮, talk about ingenuity!
Thanks for sharing.
Duude, I love your vids!!
I'm definitely buying your plans.
I've looked at a lot of diffetent ways to rip plywood and yours, hands-down are the best ones I have found, and not break the bank.
Keep 'em coming, I really enjoy your vids!
I just be happy being able to transport that much sheet material home. The smaller cut pieces are so expensive in comparison.
Home Depot rips for free.
Don't know if anybody else mentioned it but the only thing I could think of to improve this would be to use quick clamps on the ends of the guide or the stop blocks to make sure that it doesn't move around in addition to the sandpaper. Absolutely superb.
I like you and your videos very much. Glad I found your channel.
Not only is this brilliant, but I'm in the middle of shooting a video for mobile storage cabinets and I would have given my left pinky for an easy track rig like this. Great idea my brother in crafting!
Love that super fancy push stick you have. No really, practical and gets the job done.
50 cents per cut at the Orange Box (where I get my plywood) not only makes this ingenious jig superfluous but also allows the plywood to fit in my car.
I've needed that thing in my life! Hate ripping plywood!
With each and every subsequent video, I find myself more and more enamored. Thank you - Robert; for an inspired channel for the rest of us.
I like the way you think - nice to have the quick detach feature.
Great idea! Well done.
Great idea! Also, you should get a pair of Saw Buddies (I think that's the name). They're one-way wheels you mount on the table saw fence. They're conical, so they both keep the part sliding in only one direction and they also pull it against the fence. They're absolutely fantastic for cutting plywood! But this is still quite a clever setup you've made.
These need to be made commercially available. Good idea.
Very nice idea to a common issue...simple and easy
Not only do I like the item made, I really like that you showed what the item was and how it works at the BEGINNING. Hate watching To the end to find out that's not really what I wanted or thought it was.
Yeah, absolutely agree. If I want to watch a mystery, I'll turn on the TV.
I'm astounded by the number of people who seem to imagine that I want to watch a video of 47 pieces of wood being ripped, 63 pieces being cross-cut, 296 screws being inserted, 84 square metres (or yards - in this case, the unit REALLY doesn't matter) of glue being spread, without a word of explanation. Or, possibly, worse, an explanation in terms that make sense only to them: "Now, we want to be sure that the wurblesnark will seat properly against the trembletruffler without impeding the counter-linear movement of the inverse plotch-catcher." BAH! Humbug!
This is a great design, will be building this! Also you gained a new subscriber with your dry delivery of 'Ta-Da'.
Excellent stuff - finding a reasonable priced circular saw track is not easy.
One addition I would make is clamps to hold the track or the measuring rails, in place during the cut.
Another would be to have a "positive" track - that prevent the saw from wandering in *either* direction.
Nice build.
Effectively like the parallel guides for a track saw.
Great design, even better explantion. Thank you for sharing.
This guy never fails to brighten my day! cheers buddy keep up the good work..i see those 500k subs coming soon!
I'm thinking of buying your plans just cause I like your videos.
This is the best alternative i've seen to spending hundreds of doll hairs for over priced tracksaws by Makita, Festool or (Insert company name here). I love it. Bought the plans.
PERFECT. Great job.
Beautiful solution.
Brilliant video, great device, love your presenting manners, thanks for posting from Garry in the UK
Genius idea. Thanks for sharing. I still can't help but notice but that is the most awesome granite top work bench. Very cool.
Great idea! Thanks for posting this.
You are my new favorite maker...
It IS magic, the whole thing. Brilliant.
Yes Indeed , I agree with Tor Chris , Very Nicely Done
Very clever. Good job dude.
You are a GENIUS!
Very cool!
Something to mull over: for less spacious shops, it would be great if those two measuring-taped, clamped parts were roll-uppable for at least half, if not 3/4, their lengths.
This just made it's way to the top of my "to do list" Very nice project!!!!!
To Be Honest Robert. I think they are a great set of plans, I like them they are simple and easy to follow. what you said in your video is pretty much what you wrote. I love it Sir keep up the craziness
I’ve been struggling with these Kreg jigs and what not, and I think this is the answer!
that's pretty slick! nice job!
Very nice. Wouldn't be surprised if one of the manufacturers pick this up.
I would add metric measurements, so that I could build to any plan, in imperial or metric. There are probably measuring tapes with both scales on the same side. Great build!
Dude, 3 min in and I'm hooked!!! Subscribed!!
Brilliant idea and awesome video!
I must say that I LOVE this one and I do enjoy your videos
OH am from the Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago
UNDER Dunn? More like NICELY DONE!
... or "Dunn & dusty" 🙄😏
Cool design!
SO...um... sorry, i don't have any suggestions on how to get better audio with metal walls? But great video? i have been trying to figure out an easy way to measure & mark only once when using an edge guide. Your "fix" takes out the measuring too. FANTASTIC👍. i have many medical limitations & i'm bedridden more days than not. So there is a lot of from bed planning time before i have a good enough day to actually build. So, when a challenge pops into my head; it sucks to not be able to work it out trial & error style in my shop. This means the build panning & visualization, which i usually find to be a therapeutic distraction from my pain, is instead a frustration. A video like yours is just the cure i needed. i appreciate you creators & the time & energy it takes to share this content so much. I will for sure be sharing this video w/ my disabled builder friends & checking out you other videos. THANKS, ♿Lisa🔧
I am always working on projects, but two of my problems include: 1. I cannot measure accurately and 2. I cannot cut accurately.
I can measure twice or three times and everything looks great, but then it is too short or too long. I bought a cutting guide from Harbor Freight and still manage to cut crooked. Why?! :)
I just typed a crazy long and thorough answer. The methods i use with my harbor freight straight edge and circular saw that allow me to get consistent accurate cuts and more importantly repeatable cuts. ALso how to get great cuts with miter saw.
Unfortunately, i did not realize my internet had disconnected and i lost the whole reply Lol. Please tell me which of these saws you have and use for cutting your project pieces? Circular saw & straight edge, Miter Saw (sliding miter saw or chop saw?), Jig saw? Table Saw? Router?
I will refine my answer and recommendations based on what tools you have. And reply again later, after my nap.😴 Thanks ~ 🛠Lisa♿
@@geolisadrag-racing2349 I just have a circular saw and a Clamp Edge and Saw Guide, but I usually hold a speed square tightly. It usually takes me a couple of tries to line up the speed square correctly, which is why I only use the clamp edge for stuff that will be visible.
Right now I am installing drywall in our 14' shed, which I previously insulated, and I needed to add lots of 2x4s to the ceiling because the rafters and studs are 24" OC, but there are 3 joists going straight across, so the roof has 2 angles, but the ceiling has 3.
When I use the clamp edge it always takes multiple tries to line it up just right and then it is possible that I don't keep it square against it.
pure genius
Interesting way to solve your dilemma. Makes a lot of sense & cents if you sell enough plans. I feel that even tho you added the self adhesive sand paper on the underneath, I'd still try to use clamps too. Maybe I'm just paranoid of the track slipping somehow. Great job!
Very cool design!
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. Really enjoyed it. Very happy to subscribe.
best track saw i've seen so far.. i like the idea..
thank you
...maybe this has already been suggested, if not... to deaden the echo in your shop, hang big 'furni-pads' (furniture pads used in moving to protect big furniture objects or appliances) on the walls... you won't need many; it's dependant on how large your shop is... heavy fabric curtains would work, too... btw, great video... 👍🏻
Blankets tacked to a frame would help too. People are always throwing out old blankets.
Nice job! The toggle clamp usage with the sliding dovetail wedgie dealies----- excellent! I'ma wanna build one!
Ingenious design on the clamping mechanism. I can see application of that on other shop jigs.
A short set of stops that could reach under to contact the edge of a workpiece and allow you to cut to less than 16 inches is the next step. I think only a set of modified stops blocks are needed. The gauge bars are fine but maybe a little long for making narrow cuts so a pair that are 24 inches long would be a useful addition to this excellent shop-built jig.
To set you gauge bars to exactly the same distance set one to the desired distance then put them face to face so the stop blocks on each bar butt up to the end of the other bar. Then move the stop block on the second bar to match the first bar.
Tract system with magical rails, I love it
If you get a chance to upgrade circular saws, the ryobi brushless 7 1/4 saw is a gigantic improvement in power and usability over the non brushless ones, coming from someone who had both
Best video on TH-cam.
Nice "how to basic" take on the assembly 5:55
Scheppach brand has handy circular saw guide system, there is a rubber strip edge that is cut with the saw traveling on a track on the guide. Next cut, just place the rubber edge to the marks and cut. Easy as that. Comes with price.
I think you could also make a different set of measuring rails that would allow you to make accurate cuts under 16". This is a problem that has plagued me when I'm on site somewhere with a circular saw but no table saw.... Great Project!
You need a saw rip fence.
That's brilliant!
Dude I just found your videos. Been doing wood working for years. Was never able to have my own shop though. Recently that gas changed. I aquired a 12x20 bear shed that will now be my shop. First build will be the table saw cabinet you built in anouther video. As I have the exact same saw. Working on a very limited budget. Which im hoping this shop will change to a degree at least. Limited space is going to make this build be my second build after all my work benches, out feed table etc.... LOL. Really like your videos so far. Looking forward to seeing more, and supporting you on anouther level when my finacial situation improves. Thanks agian man.
Nice - and as you noted, more useful than the guides I'm using right now.
Fantastic and I couldn't agree more about inconvenience! They now sell this for track saws so even less inconvenience, I'll just buy it all pre made😉😂😂
This is absolutely brilliant!
Good design, great idea, nicely executed, as always superbly presented in a well produced video.
Very cool video and an innovative guide system.
Wow that's a really neat idea. I always use a straight edge and clamps but like you said, need to line it up with a line etc and account for saw blade distance to edge, this eliminates all of that.
I had to go back and watch the test cut again to see your reaction!
very nice build, great job
Very nicely done . Great editing as well .
Brilliant! That is a brilliant solution to a common problem. Thank you so much for sharing
It's a beautiful thing
“Clean them up on the disc sander a hweee bit” = instant sub 😂😂
I've been needing a cutting guide for my saw and I've viewed many videos. I like yours very much and I'll be purchasing your plans. Thanks. One thought was while watching you rip the plywood I saw you holding the guide track to keep it in place? Perhaps adding finger holes at 3 or 4 spots may help. Great video.
I like it, innovative. I also prefer to breakdown plywood on the ground (on top of foamboard), so I'm not having to stretch to get that last 2"
