It's so funny that you mentioned the back of his head being protected because I was literally just thinking to myself that this guy is silly not wearing eye protection when he clearly has some. 😁 I would definitely admonish him if he came into my ER
Very nice. Hint: if one was doing a true mortice and tennon timber frame, you would do this process after the braces were cut to finish and add this after. You would omit the pilot holes and set up for hardwood pegs. With that said Its a great detail look.
Oh James, lol I almost spit my water across the room when you made that comment about Steven's safety glasses. Very funny. A great project that I can certainly utilize around the homestead. I've been thinking of putting a covered entrance to my shop and these braces would make look great. Thanks!
Outstanding job James! I always look forward to your new projects. I have a porch that needs recovering and this will certainly come in handy to make it look really nice. Of course it will require me to add to my router bit collection which I don't mind in the least, but the Mrs. will require a good reason for my purchasing another tool. My answer will be..."cause James said so!" LOL
King's Fine Woodworking Hi James! I’m going to buy some shellac or varnish for a kids table I’m finishing up. It’s my first project. It’s not a masterpiece but my wife is happy with it (happy wife happy life - right!). Anyway, I wanted to do what you’ve asked and buy it through it Amazon so you can get a commission. But I didn’t want to go through a lot of video trying to find what I’m looking for so I thought I’d just ask you. Would you send me the link of some water based finishes that I could use? I want to put a tough finish on top of a painted surface. No rush. Thank you.
Hi Joe, probably the top of the line water based top coat finish would be this one by General Finishes. amzn.to/2Tki21m My next favorite, and honestly, the one that I almost always buy is the Varathane water based poly made by Rustoleum. It’s probably 98% as hard & durable, but it dries a bit quicker and it’s 1/2 the price. amzn.to/2YTSJrU Both of these are 100% non toxic and completely safe around children once they’ve cured. I actually used to build kitchen & bath cabinets professionally, and I used the Varathane on every job. Anyhow, thank you very much for using our link(s). I appreciate it. And if you have other questions feel free to email me at james@kingsfinewoodworking.com Take care, ~James
jt5747, I use the Porter Cable 7518 in every table based operation. I can cut raised panel doors in one pass with it. And they handle abuse like no other. amzn.to/31qV7Er
James , justed wanted to say TY for your ch....it is always entertaining,Educational,and fun to watch ..wish you lived closer to kentucky LOL ! God Bless
Nice video, thanks for sharing that with us. I noticed that you made the corners on the template square, but of course the inner corners on the corbels will end up round because of the router bit. If you want you can also make the two outside (middle) corners on the template the same radius as the router bit, so all corners will have the same radius.
Great video. I noticed you followed the pattern about 98%, If the pattern was to match an existing piece, it would be close but not perfectly correct. On the sharp angles of the pattern your router bit can only get it to a rounded angle, you should have followed up with a triangle rasp and matched the sharp angle of the pattern....
Hi Gary, great observation! I forgot to mention that. The first sample I took to the customer was routed only, not squared up in those corners. We fitted it to show them generally what it looked like in place. But they liked it as it was, and chose not to bring those corners to sharp angles.
Great project James. Those router bits are super! I have a table project in my list of projects that will require routing to a template. I’ll check them out.
To be honest ,on a framing type application as deck building , no template is needed . cutting them on the bandsaw is good enough.Also it would have been MUCH stronger structurally if the bottom of the corbel was let into a small lip on the upright .
If I only had your tools and I didn't live in a flat I could just make things all the time sometimes I go down the park so the noise isn't bad in the flat but if it's too big I just have to make it by hand saw and send it all by hand oh well this is the fun of it I suppose
Small dings and nicks to a template does not mean the template is garbage. Not that much pressure is at the bearing/template contact point. Any number of wood putty to bondo type compounds or veneer cuttings can be used to 'shim' out a template edge.
Really is a pleasure to look at not to mention sturdiness and stoutness of it. I am inspired and empowered. Thanks for sharing this valuable knowledge. Do you have an affiliate link for some of those rear facing safety glasses?
15:01 'these actually don't have to be pre-drilled' depends on your local building code, it's still stronger if you pre-drill and sometimes it's required by law.
Nice video but... The braces look nice. From a structural view looking at how the braces are connected will confuse people lol. They will be looking for bolt heads and stuff lol 😃 ..
@@genevelis6075, send me an email at james@kingsfinewoodworking.com I’ll get you his contact info. He’s probably the biggest deck & patio builder in the state. He lives in Denver and we live right nearby in Aurora.
I remember Norm saying “and there is no more important safety device than these, safety glasses” but silly Norm never pointed out they were for the back of your head. Love the work and instructions.
No offense meant but, shouldn't have cut those 45 corners. Should've made those as a mortise and tenon joint. Only thing needed for fastening would be a simple 3/4" - 1" dowel pin. Think timber frame style but, for some, would seem too much work to do. Great video, cheers :)
Only thing what I thing was a cheep out was missing tenons but using bolts. and experiance woodworker would make patern without sharp corners - router bæearing can not make sharp inside corners...
What about us the homeowners who are not carpenters and dont have all the tools a carpenter does. I'm going to cut with my band saw right on the line, I dont have all those tools. Thanks but some of us are limited and need it done right there and then.
Is there a specific length/ratio that should be met when creating knee braces? Also, Can they be made so that one leg/side extends further than the other as in a 40/50 or 30/60 angled end cuts?
Hi Joe, no specific ratio required. In fact the ones on the customer’s house holding up a porch cover were 30/60. But the roof frame line didn’t extend out far. So the braces were taller than wide. In this application we switched them to 45/45 to maximize strength for racking resistance in high winds since it is a free standing roof.
I free-hand drew it based on pictures I liked, I drew it on a piece of paper first. And refined it until I liked it. Then cut it out with scissors and traced that on the plywood.
James, I'm a subscriber and have two questions. #1. Where can I purchase the bits you used in the video. #2. Where can I purchase templates for the knee brace? There is no link to the items you used in the video.
Hi Steven, Can you email me at james@kingsfinewoodworking.com I didn’t make a plan for the knee brace, but I’m happy to send you the exact drawing of the one I made here. I’ll also try to fix the links. And, I’ll look up the bits, and tell you too.

Looking forward to expanding my knowledge via you tutorial videos.
Your cousin should not take those beautiful braces and practice how to use a sander on them. I love the guys that look like they are going to a bbq and really are not accomplished carpenters ? He used the pull saw wrong and was grinding a hole in your brace w/ 80 grit staying in one spot pushing the sander? He looked great though! I really need to just turn away? Sorry James your work is always spot on!
Really cool James!! Plus I learn something else which is always awesome!!

Love the pattern following trick for really thick wood.
Wow. I never knew about the template bit and the flush bit. Very useful knowledge!

Hi Dan! Thank you very much!
all that nice work making the braces, would have been nice to have seen them mortise and tenoned.
I agree. But he contacted me to add the braces after the fact. So it didn't go into the original planning.
@@KingsFineWoodworking still nice though. you should look out for a makita chain mortiser. i have one on it's way, lovely bit of kit.
Nice work. Its all green cedar down here. Wanting to do a project in my back yard.

I see you're embracing festool. I keep seeing new tools ; ). Do you like them? I find their dust collection is exceptional.
Good one James, see you’ve upgraded to Festool 👍
GOOD JOB! What is the size of the piece of lumber you used to make each brace?
The sunglasses protect the back of his head.. too funny.
👍🏻😁
good video
You guys make it look easy. I would shou-sugi-ban those braces and white stain the rest of the exposed wood. That's just my weird aesthetic.
QUESTION, Couldn’t you just take the pattern off the one side, flip it over, stick to side 2, run back through? Beautiful job the way

Hi, what is the length of the brace? U didn't mention it. Is this standard for 8 feet tall post or is there a formula to calculate it? Thanks
I dont see links to the shaper bits. Jst looking to help fund the info you have supplied
Question, how long is your Corbaley long point to long point ?
It looks very nice, quality workmanship.
Actually for the trim work at the table router, can't you just use one bit and put the template birch on the OTHER side of the wood?

Thanks but some of us are limited and need it done right there and then.
Never knew it took so much precise work to make these..anyone knows a site to purchase these
If they were barn braces or something like that I would just do 2 45 degree angles and that’s done
For sure
Where did you buy the router bits
Can I have these made and order from you? I live in Washington.
Is there a specific length/ratio that should be met when creating knee braces? Also, Can they be made so that one leg/side extends further than the other as in a 40/50 or 30/60 angled end cuts?

Who makes those large pattern bits you are using?
Is there an advantage to connecting these with bolts instead of a mortise/tennon style ?
The only advantage is speed. Mortise & tenon are likely stronger.
The links in the detail aren't active anymore...
you didn't show how to start the template or pattern???
