Something I skipped over in the video, is that the Cross and Awareness Ribbon templates are inlays. There is a router bit you can purchase to carve out the shape in your project, and use another size template to create a perfect fit replica. Very cool, I just ordered the bit to give it a try! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
New favorite woodworking channel. No BS self-promotion, no gatekeeping of plans, just sharing knowledge. Good shit, bro
Thank you so much!!
Wow. I enjoyed your presentation - no fluff, distinct voice, good useful succinct information. Thank you.
*blushes* Thanks Joey! Glad you enjoyed it. (:
Been watching your videos recently and just want to echo what others have said - these are awesome. Straight to the point. Making it easy to understand. Not pretentious. Just getting it done!
Thanks for the boost Preston! :)
Great video man! Was looking for a clear explanation of how to properly use router templates, and came across this video. Your explanations are great and you keep it entertaining as well! Thanks for the helpful advice.
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked the video :)
I'm a long time wood carver just learning the router. Your video was really informational and gave me many ideas. I am going to subscribe to see any future router videos! Thank you!
I might hit you up for some whittling techniques, thats my newest adventure :) thanks for the add!

Thanks buddy! :)
I just finished building the handrail on my deck th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z and used this great little router to clean up the top rail before the final sanding and stain. It was light weight but packed lots of power. Either size battery didn't seem to make it top heavy and I'm a 64 yr old women so I really appreciated how easy it was to use...................... CORDLESS only way to go !!
Router :)
Very informative video , for me anyhow . Thanks for that . Keep them coming .
Thanks Pete!!
Nice!! Is always great to listen to new TH-cam creators in this topic, specially if the are young and talented, Be patient my friend i assure you that you do offer the quality needed to thrive.
Keep going never backup.
Thanks for your humble words! There are more videos to come :)
good commentary and explanation with models
Thanks Kenneth!! Glad you liked it. I hope to do more informational videos in the future :)
Dude great informational video! If you need a side hustle looks like you can go on the 3 Crosses Tour LOL
😂😂 thanks buddy
Thanks mate very informative, i did like the video 👍👏👏👏
Thanks buddy!
You may have missed your calling as a country singer lol… looks like you’re just getting started, very good job on this video. All the best to you and your future young man.
Ed Sheeran already stole the pop genre. 😂 Thanks for the kind words!
seriously, I'm a mom and love country music. You have a very unique voice; let your woodworking skills inspire your songs. Patten your songs, DON'T lose your great personality and DON'T get caught up in all the crap that go's with the music industry. Don't forget your roots. start out at a local nondenominational church. You'll not only learn how to stretch your vocal cords, you will surround your self with positive influences. "Sore, like on wings of an eagle". not sure what book or verse but HE will be your ROCK and FOUNDATION. HE will guide you and help you if you ask HIM son. from one mom to very talented young man. good luck!!
I did a cover with a buddy when I worked at Wally World, It's the very first video I ever posted if you want another vocal teaser :)
Thanks for your kind words!
Keep going 👍👍
👍 I am buddy! Thanks 🙏
quick question. usual templates ive bought are 1/4" thick. i noticed i have a much harder time with them compared to ones ive made that are 3/4" or two 3/4" put together so i can control the depth to start shallow and have plenty of space to lower it as i need. So, is it best to always try to make them thicker? how do you also get around using just a 1/4" and not run into issues where your first cut is too deep and you cant start shallow because the bearing wont ride on the template? i had to get multiple bits and change out which is annoying
Heyo! All the flush cut bits I use have the bearing above the cutter, closest to the router. I have a few different lengths of cutters: 1/2", 3/4, 1" and a 1-1/2". Honestly I use the smallest one the most and make passes until i reach the depth I desire. You are 100% correct; the longer bits are pretty much useless when using a router template. Check out these little short guys, you dont even need to switch out router bits to keep the bearing on the template, the bearing can ride against the cutout as you progress deeper into your workpiece.
These are the flush cut bits I use in the video:

Thanks for the comment!
Skil 14-Amp Plunge and Fixed Base Router Kit #174809, $139.99
… I mean, I already have the dewalt fixed/plunge kit and the Makita palm router, but for the price, that Skil router with all the components is a steal.
I honestly just grabbed it because it had the plunge base. I knew nothing about the digital display or other attachments and man-oh-man I was in for a treat. Lol
The solo was gold lol! Give up woodworking and change your name to Randy Travis! JK JK, thanks for the laugh
Randy freakin Travis!! Lololololol
Do you have that short DIY as a standalone video? I find it hard to follow in that 'insert window' mode.
I do! It's in my "shorts" playlist. When I originally recorded making it I was unaware my mic wasn't on and had no audio, so it became a short. I am going to make a long form tutorial when I make the larger base for my new Skil Plunge Router as well; hopefully early next week :)
Hello
I need a 3/8th Cutter Height Flush cut bit (Bottom Bearing) but can't find one on the internet
Where do you get your bits from?
Like this? You can also get a shorter 1/4" flush cut bit, make your first pass and bump it down to reach your 3/8" depth :)

Good video and info, yeah...but I HAD to subscribe when you starting singing. ROFL.
😂 well if thats all it takes, Ill incorporate more songs! Seriously though, whenever Im doing something shady or I get uncomfortable when making a cut, I usually sing to myself
could you add the link to where you got those templates? Plus where did you get that SKIL router for only $100. Thanks
I didn't know they weren't listed in the description, andddd now they are :) thanks for asking! I bought my Router at Lowes when it was on sale. If you sign up for their MVP (no credit check, just an email) they will send you $20 off $100 purchase coupon to help knock down the price :)
You need to put a few records together. Head to a local country music station and let the records turn. Let this be your side hussle. Good luck and good video!
😂 maybe Ill break out some Ariana Grande in the next video ;) I can surprisingly keep up with her high notes
I need to route ramakan holes into an end grain board. 1 5/8 diameter and 3/8 deep. How would I do this?
I googled "ramakan holes" and didnt find anything, nor have I heard of this. Sorry buddy, end grain you will want a router bit that is spiraled like a drill bit, rather than the two blade yellow ones I used in the video. The spiral-ones have less tearout and burning :)if its just a hole, I would use a forstner bit so it has clean sides and a flat bottom
@@WhosTheVoss I tried the forstener bit but it left dimples in the bottom that were impossible to sand out and it tore out the hole in spots I'll try the router with a template
The activator ingredient is acetone. Put some in a bottle, boom, activator spray.
This has been hanging out in my "not responded" for a good month because I wanted to remember to try it. I finally bought acetone! Super excited to give it a try
Good video. Is it just me or does the unclamped jigsaw usage with your hand out in front of the blade at 5:15 look like a possible shortcut to the ER.
Great observation! It is un-wise to put your digits in front of the cutting path. In other videos you will see me steering my jigsaw by using my left hand on the guide out in front to control the vibration for a cleaner cut. In this video, I was going ham because I was clearing some material. The wood is soft cedar, and the blade would hit my tablesaw before reaching my cheese-grabbers. If you're uncomfortable, then it's unsafe. Theres a lot I see people do with the tablesaw that I would never attempt. Thanks for making it to 5:15!! :D
@@WhosTheVosssure. I figure since this is aimed at beginners, might be worth mentioning. Apparently, ww videos are full of safety police tho so there ya go. :)
Where did you get the temp plate?
I ordered them from
craftedelements.com/collections/router-templates
@@WhosTheVoss thank you. Very nice video.
Thanks for the support and kind words!
What kind of wood do u use for these projects?
For these I use pine stair tread. Its cheap, flat and thicker than 3/4" dementional lumber. Pick them up from any home improvement big box store :)
@@WhosTheVoss dope! Thanks for the reply!! I’m Makin some moose with a template and was confused on a good wood choice 😆
you have way too few subs. Here's one more.
i also got a question, why is it that the router doesn't cut into the template, is it those barings you talked about? I didn't even know they wher ther, next time am in the school wood shop i will take a closer look at the bits.
You're the man, thanks for the sub! Yes, the bearings ride against the template, the cutters spin beneath (or above) and cut the wood to match the template. :)
Haha the song was nice
Thanks ;)
Where can we get templates?
I bought mine at craftedelements.com/collections/router-templates
You can find router templates that are thick plexiglass or made from MDF, the plexi glass ones are more durable :)
Great video. Way too fast though..😮
Short n sweet ;) lol, sorry!!
