Maybe I should get a peanut jig of my own. Yes a peanut jig of my own.
Nice cinematography on this cabinet construction.
🖐🙂🤚Yes, a peanut jig of your own.
👐
When the American public found out that I was filling my peanuts with toxic pesticides, I decided to go on the Dick Cavett show and do a little PEANUT JIG
Peter, wanted to thank you for the quick delivery of the plywood squares this week. Arrived literally as I was about to do a glue up, highlighting just how out of square my cuts had been. Great product and service, thanks.
Thanks Rico! Great that they arrived in a timely fashion! 🙌 👍
Just purchased a peanut 2 mini jig and like it a lot. This video is brilliant as it combines the flexibility of the jig I have with the speed for making multiple units of one size. Thanks
Thanks! It’s a great system. 👍👍
Nice work, Peter. Making a jig to make a jig reminds me a little of my youth when we would buy an LP record and take it home to immediately make a cassette tape of it. We then wore out the tape and eventually when we needed to re-record a fresh tape the LP had only been played once before and remained sharp. Enlève so I eventually wore out “
ELO’s “Out Of The Blue”. Nice vid as always. Scott
Ha - I did the same! Thanks Scott! 🙌 👍
I did the same, but mine was recorded to 8 track’s. Yea I’m old. Originally it was 4 track!
Love the work Peter!
Cant wait for the comparison Peter!, I'm getting very tempted (my wife suggested your "bad" for me ..... Keep it up :)
Thanks Graham. 👍
I am a huge fan of shop made jigs. I am working on one to hit the like button automatically on these vids.
Can to post plans 😉🍻
Like the idea of job specific jigs, that can really speed up production.
You want to pick up some inline connectors and add a second power cable to the hose for non festool stuff. I would recommend neutriks powercon true1. They are a twist lock connector and you shorten the tool side to suit and have the extension on the hose all the time. Ive done it to all my corded stuff and just have a few leads. Makes the almost as conventEnt as cordless. 👍🏻
Did you find a cheap source? I'd looked in the past but looked pricey
I’ve done something very similar but using standard kettle leads (cheap option and can get 10m lengths). They don’t lock in but certainly hold there self tight enough. I’ve done my plunge saw, mitre saw and all my sanders (drywall, 125RO and palm sander) all with no troubles.
Power lead with one end taped to my extractor hose and covered in cable wrap. And all tools with the lead adapted to short lengths with opposing male/female end. And one spare lead made up for when I don’t want to use my extractor.
Anthony Shepherd Yes I'm close to doing this too! Only reason I haven't is I was trying to find some nice flex, ideally something nice and supple like festool flex. They use H05RN 2x1mm cores, but the other tools I have with the same spec cable are stiffer/have memory from being coiled up. Did you find a good source for pre wired kettle connectors? I think most have an earth but power tools rarely need that and it just makes cable stiffer. Probably being too fussy but the festool leads are so nice
Certainly is an innovative joinery system like no other.
Nice one, who doesn't like shop made jigs!
Cheers, mate.👍🏽
Cheers Bill! 👍
It's not the number of toys we have it's he number of jigs. Great work.
👍 If only we could get the jigs to make their own jigs... 😂
Lots of baby jigs.... maybe if they get jiggy 🤔😀...
Just discovered your channel and I'm impressed by your delivery. Have subscribed straight away.
That jig is so simple and finding this video now was excellent timing as I'm about to embark on some very repetitive construction of some cupboards.
Thanks, and welcome! 👍
Simple,effective and cheap---- my favourite phrase!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😜😜😜😜😜
Thanks Alan! Oh wait - you weren’t talking about me, were you...?? 😂😂👍👍
Another great vid , thanks Peter, stay safe out there, and keep em coming, cheers
Cheers Paul! 👍👍
Well... Heres a fine Howdoyoudo... I am a chippy by trade. I fit kitchens for a local authority. Just discovered your youtube work. Now Im going to go all the way back to episode -1 and watch the lot in order. Talk about a challenge :-).
Woah! Don't think I'd want to go all the way back to the beginning, lol! Feel free to skip a few years... 😂 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop I am really very grateful for the work you have put in here. It is valuable stuff. Maybe a bit high standard Vs our local authority work but it is a pleasure to watch and every day is a learning day.
I like the look of the peanut system for cabinets. However, the more I think about it all that's needed is the router bit, a drill of the right size, and those fittings.
Yep, a simple starter pack has all you need, and the dimensions are all here in the video if you wanted to make your own jig, wether that's a multi-peanut carcass jig like this one, or a single peanut mini-jig-alike, made to your own spec. 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop I like the idea of being able to make jigs for specific widths etc. For bookcases , cabinets , or for one off jobs.
Enjoyed this video Pete..... very neat build as always 👌👏👍
Cheers Dan! 👍
In an specific angle the peanut jig looks like a batarang 😁 Great work as always Peter, keep up the good work 👌🏻
It does! #BatJig! And thanks! 👍👍
Another fantastic video Peter! A great idea to create a bespoke carcass jig, we're really looking forward to seeing your comparison video with Lamello!
Thanks! Great system, always happy to be able to showcase British innovation! 👍👍
Love how this jig gives me true square, non glue clamp hell, boxes.
Wondering what if I want to make a cupboard, 160 wide or so, but out of one box.
Appears to me that the jig would make the peanuts collide.
Does it make sense to offset them slightly, so that I can have a central plane within the box, to which shelves and such attach?
🧐 This video went WHOOSH 🌬 right over my head!!
I found it difficult to follow what you were attempting with a lot of measuring and marking with no clear explanation as to why.
Sorry to hear that; so far you guys seem to be the outliers, but I'm always keen to learn what I could have done better; could ypou tell me what specifically you found hard to follow?
Brilliant - come on the mini jig
Nice one, Peter. Thank you 🙏🏻
First of all I watch all of your videos I always learn something from watching your videos. However on this video I thought I was going deaf. The beginning was so low volume that I just couldn’t hear most of it. Second half of the video seem to be much clearer on the audio. Thanks again for your great videos looking forward to the comparison
Thanks Michael. I'm afraid you might be going deaf; the audio is balanced across the whole video to -17 LUFS. The industry standard for TV is -23 LUFS (too quiet) and TH-cam recommend -14 LUFS (too loud); Curtiss Judd recommends -17 LUFT so that's good enough for me! In all seriousness, I really care about this stuff - the audio is balanced from cut to cut. 👍
So with your homemade jig I only need to buy the peanut router bit and the fixings and I’m away?! Almost seems too good to be true haha
Excellent.😀👍
Thanks Norman! 👍
Wouldn't this doable without buying the whole mini jig and just buying the router bit (which by itself is stupidly expensive for what it is), assuming you're fine making your own guide bushing for drilling the hole?
I give all the measurements you need in the video.
I wondered that too. I guess you could, if you’re making batches of the same sized carcasses, but you’d lose out on the flexibility if you do lots of one-offs. Horses for courses.
@@JezVibert But I'd also imagine it'd be relatively simple to just make your own mini jig as well.
The only part of the whole system that's really 'required' is the router bit and the actual peanuts. The rest can be just be DIYd
@@JezVibertukù
@@animationcreations42 yep. I went out this evening with a net and caught a small bat, which I've nailed to a piece of MDF and cut around with a flush trim bit. Once I wiped off some of the blood you couldn't tell the difference between my jig and the professionally made one.
I Love you, love the Channel
Great video Peter, thanks
Thanks Michael! 👍
Great video thanks for sharing
Thank you! 👍
Quick one! How do you keep your blades for the fest tool clean cutting clean cut with as little chipping on cuts as possible and keeping them sharp
Honestly I don't do anything to them at all - I just buy a good blade and only cut wood with it. 👍
Hope you have spoken to IF, I'm sure their not going to be too pleased with your custom template, as ppl like me will only buy the mini jig, and not the big boy.
Karl
Of course! IF were fully consulted along the way to make sure they were happy with the direction this was taking, and the idea for a carcass jig stems from the first meeting I ever had with the founder of IF. 👍
What business would it be of yours anyway?
Now this is going to test my skills! I'll update in a week or so!
Look forwards to it.
The peanut router bit is £70. I wonder if you could just use a t-slot/t-track router bit as that is a fraction of the cost. Although I don't understand how the peanut router bit is able to create the 2.1mm drop along the slot length.
Including VAT, not far off, yes. The ramping cut is only with the CNC application; the jig & router version uses clever design and some seriously smart materials science to lock the head of the fixing in the slot. As for using a regular t-slot router bit, I think if they could have done that, then they wouldn't have gone to the trouble and expense of having a proprietary bit made. 🤷♂️ 👍
Hi Peter, quick question the plywood that you used for the carcass jig was it the same thicknesser as the mini jig, if not did you increase the plunge depth of the peanut bit to compensate for jig thickness. Regards David p.s are plans or dimensions available
Hi David. Yes, I used 12mm birch ply specifically to match the mini-jig, so no adjustment needed in the plunge depth. I hadn’t considered offering plans tbh - all the critical measurements are referred to in the video, and tbh so much depends on what size jig you want to make, I’m not sure plans would really help?? 🤷♂️👍
So, there is no gluing at all? Could you do a kitchen base unit with these fixings?
For the final assembly I’d put a bead of glue in there, personally, but the peanut fittings are almost stupidly strong, even without glue. And yes, absolutely. 👍
Maybe you could use the peanut system to make the removable fence?
I be looked at it, it it was just easier to make a fence less jig tbh. 👍
I'm really thinking about buying the peanut system and using it also to make jigs that I could take apart for storage. My shop is about as big as yours but I'm lucky there is no wall in the middle.
So, I got my mini jig this week and immediately had a need to go off-piste and create a jig for fixing a 22mm edge to the middle of a 45mm post. So I knocked up a quick jig using the workbee to create some 30X42 holes to accept the router/drill bushes. All went really well until I did a test of the jig and found that neither the router nor the drill went deep enough into the workpiece. I'm guessing that you either used 12mm ply or you changed the depth setting on both the router and drill bit? Or have I missed something?
Yep, I used 12mm ply to match the original jig. 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Thanks for the learning opportunity :-)
Hi Peter. Did you use 12mm board for template and jig or 18mm?
Hi Martin. Yes, 12mm, to match the existing mini-jig; apologies if that wasn't clear. 👍
Hi Peter, very interesting, also useful for other jig like this. But I have a question. The corner got burnt when using the router, but it seemed you made a smooth and continuous movement. Do you know why it is burning? Thank you.
Hi Frits, and thanks. Yes, it’s a janky old bit that’s we’ll pass it use-by date and needs replacing. Simple as that. 👍👍
Curious that jig you used to a-line your track can you get that in the US? Love the channel

Nice!🙌
On the IF shop the Peanut 2 mini jig kit comes with a 1/2" shank router bit. Your Trend T4 is 1/4", do IF also offer 1/4 or 8mm shank bits?
Hi Dawn. Yes, in the IF shop there's a drop-down that lets you choose between 1/2", 12mm and 8mm shank bits. I was using the 8mm in an 8mm collet in my little Trend T4 router. 👍
Hi Peter, those waste kerf things you used on your guide rail, do you need to use different ones dependent on your blade kerf/thickness? I've just bought a Makita 36V track compatible circ saw and think it could be quite useful especially for an utter beginner like me to get good levels of accuracy without over/undercutting.
Hiya. Yes, they’re matched to the blade kerf. Karl @strawbyte has a wide range available. Link in the video description, btw. 👍👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop brilliant Peter, thank you 👌
Hi Peter Great idea as usual, Why didn't you get a Shaper Origin and make your jig with that. You could then put it on your router shelf
If I had a shaper origin I wouldn’t need the jig, lol! 😂 Would love to add one to the shelves though.👍👍
Great video Peter - thanks for the consistently good content and for taking the time to reply. I bought the mini jig after watching your first video and after using it a few times I've spent the past week designing almost the same jig as this - except I also have 30x42mm slots at 90degrees the other side of the fence, for the ends of a collapsible paulk-inspired MFT bench. A jig for adding peanuts mid-panel is next. The jig-to-make-a-jig is a useful idea I'll be considering. Thanks to you, I also now have a benchdogs rail square and parallel guide set - perhaps I should be asking you to STOP making content!
Thanks Mark! Wow, what a fantastic idea with the 90° slots - that's really smart, thanks! I have a mid-panel jig video out tomorrow for the Patreon/members, but I'll be releasing a public version in time for next weeks comparison video. And you're right - I should probably retire... oh wait... 😂 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop it's also worth mentioning that the companies you recommend are always great to deal with too - both Hannah at Benchdogs and Cosmo at IF have been massively helpful over the past few weeks.
Neat, think the fence could be knockdown, with 🤔 ah l know a peanut connector 🤷♀️
Just can't help wondering if a key hole router bit (£13) might not work instead of the peanut one (yeah l'm cheap the sort of person that buys a record and transfers to tape 📼) 😉🍻🤫🤣
I had a play with the idea, but it was actually easier to make two separate jigs. 🤷♂️ As for the off-the-shelf keyhole router bit - if they’re that cheap, why not buy one and try it?? 🤷♂️😆👍👍🍻
@@10MinuteWorkshop lm on the fence on fences 😂 looking into that key hole router bit its way down on the todo list🙈
Any details on where to get the waste side jigs from? I assume it is just a spacer for the thickness of your blade?

Missed it!! I did look before asking, honestly. 😁
Hi Peter, a bit confused you said you're using a 1/4inch router but axminster tools list a 1/2inch bit in the kit. Regards David
Hi David. I do say in the video around the 12-minute mark; it's a 1/4" router fitted with an 8mm collett, to take the Peanut 2 8mm short router bit. I don't know what Axminster have stock of, but Intelligent Fixings will have them, if they're available. Hope that helps! P
@@10MinuteWorkshop thanks Peter I'll check IF for availability
How about using the peanut jig to add a removable fence, might work. Love your videos I've learnt a lot
It could, but it's actually much easier to make another jig from the template. 👍
Love jigs, and just a question, is there a reason you did not use your CNC for this?
My CNC isn’t big enough. And as soon as you use a CNC in a project, it becomes a ‘CNC project’ and it massively reduces the potential audience. 🤷♂️👍
Great idea - I think I'll make one of these. But don't you need a 1/2 inch router? The Peanut cutter that comes with the package is a 1/2 inch shank - how are you using a 1/4inch router?
Thanks! They make a cutter with an 8mm shank, most 1/4" routers will take an 8mm collett. 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Oh, Axminster don't make that clear so I bought a 1/2 inch router when I bought the jig. Could have just used my existing 1/4inch!
Can you put a link to that kit or is it a separate item I need to add to the Peanut kit?
Peter, I am in the market for a new jigsaw/saber saw. The one you used, we in Yankeedom, refer to as a barrel jigsaw. Do you feel you have more control using that as opposed to the D-handle ones? Thanks
Hi Bruce. Not sure about 'control' exactly, but I prefer a barrel grip (or body grip, as we say) as it just feels more comfortable. 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Hi Bruce, I recently bought the Festool PS-300 which is the barrel grip. Previously I had a D grip. I really like the barrel grip and now prefer it to the D grip!
HAPPY ST GEORGES DAY
Thank you!👍🏴
Great job Peter. Curious, if a guy wanted to make a jig or fixture that say had a removable part. Would the peanut hold up to multiple on and off usage? Thanks!
Depends on the material, I guess; I’d imagine birch ply or hardwood would be fine, MDF or chipboard not so much. They’re not claimed to be knock-down fittings in the traditional sense, more a self-clamping fitting for convenience. 👍👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop - Thanks I appreciate your responses. I have to build a fit furniture piece and they want a hidden compartment. The peanuts got me thinking of a small access to get to the latch 🤔
@@MJ-nb1qn try looking into buttonfix, or keku klips For removable panels.
@@LostWhits - Thanks 👍🏿
Hi Peter just wondered how you went from a camera man to self employed building fitted furniture ?
Well, the full 'gory story' is on my Patreon, but long story short, I ran out of work as a photographer, decided I was a bit old to hawking my portfolio around, so I sold my studio and started a journey into the splintery side of things. And here we are. 🤷♂️👍
Happy St George's Day everyone 🏴🇬🇧
Have you a link for the ts55 dust covers please? I cant remember what video it was on!
Sure. It was on the £5 Festool Fix video. Strawbyte plunge saw dust cover & hose clips - www.strawbyte.com/merchandise?category=Festool+Accessories 👍
Great, thanks!
Why though? I commented previously on another video that the carcass jig was too expensive and you told me that it wasn’t and was compatible to other carcass jigs...
Pretty sure I said that the full size jig was comparable in cost to eg kitchen worktop jigs when they came out. And if you found it too high a price, then that’s what the mini jig is for. As to why - well, if you have the mini jig then you can make a full size jig that faster to use as it’s dedicated to the task. 🤷♂️👍
Never heard about the peanut jig, but after your 15 min video I still have no clue what’s it’s intended use is…. None….
Well, as I say in the first 15 seconds of the video, this vid isn’t about explaining what the Peanut 2 system is - I’ve done other videos on that, I showed the thumbnails on screen, and put links in the video description.

if they only priced the jig reasonably id conside buying one but its way over priced
So make your own? 🤷♂️
@@10MinuteWorkshop yea i could but you still have to pay £70 for a cutter
Pretty sure £70 is for the starter kit, so cutter & a bag of peanuts. Cutter alone is £40-odd. That’s a lot less than I paid for the Festool 20mm MFT bit 🤷♂️
@@10MinuteWorkshop on axminster tools the cutter is £70, for the cutter and the bag of 100 peanuts it is £90, a box of 200 peanuts costs £30 meaning 100 peanuts should cost £15. So even in the kit the cutter is costing you £75 🤷♂️ lol
£40 for the cutter would be nice though
