- On some woodworking tasks, setup takes more time than the actual operation. Careful machine and tool setup pays off in better built projects. In this episode of Woodsmith Makes - Phil makes a setup gauge out of wenge that was recently featured in Woodsmith Magazine.

I learned a few neat things just watching this video. I liked how you cut the metal on the table saw using the sacrificial wood and double sided tape.
Looks good.Very useful tool. Thank you for sharing. Have a great daay and stay safe.🙂🙂
Very interesting video, i like it a lot. It's out of my league to build one
Pretty slick!! Like the general approach of using what you already have to make a useful new tool
Dang Phil, you really have some great talent.
Thanks! :)
Beautiful
I still have (and use) mine from when I bought the kit from y'all around 2002 - 2003.
It's a classic! :)
OK...this is an excellent idea!...I have some of those magnets so I think I'll make one...that is when Phoenix goes below 100 degrees...lol.
Sounds great! :)
Wow what a great idea !! Looks like we’re in the era of building our own tools and i love it !!! Very very practical i’ll make one for sure 😜👍🏼🇨🇦
Heck yeah - we love building hand tools! It's a great way to use up the little scraps of exotic woods that we have no other use for.
Yep. This was a great idea when they first put a kit together for it about 20 years ago to build one. Mine is in my shop as we speak.
Very nice!
thank you
wenge is such a beautiful wood. I love it however, the only thing I don't like about it, is how splintery it is. It's also very porous. Nevertheless, I use it as much as I can in small decor projects for the house. I love it! Great build and thanks for sharing.
You're right, it is one of those exotic woods that can get kind of splintery.
Nicely thought out and executed. From a metal machining hobbyist perspective maybe a few general critiques? I'd certainly agree with Randy's point in the comments below this about running threads directly into the wood and there durability over the long term. At the minimum I'd at least run CA glue into those threads to make them stronger and longer lasting. Much better would be his idea of adding a threaded metal insert. And imo adding metal has the same engineering constraints and end use durability as picking the right species of wood that has the correct natural derived mechanical requirements to suit the project. As an example, normally one wouldn't chose pine or cedar as a mallet head because of those natural limitations. Aluminum also has very specific mechanical plus and minus attributes. It's light weight which isn't required in this tool and extra weight would even help the tools stability during some uses. But aluminum wears and become dinged up easily. And without further machining or processing off the shelf extruded aluminum isn't even very flat. Those would be the two main reasons it isn't used on a tools wearing surfaces. On a hardness scale and depending on the exact alloys of each metal used, brass will be roughly twice as hard / durable as aluminum. On any tool where duplicating that brass color isn't a priority and that flat durable surface is of importance I'd use what's commonly known as surface ground tool steel. For your use it doesn't need to be hardened as that would be beyond most wood workers shop equipment. It comes in about any size you can think of, and in it's unhardened state can be worked using hacksaws, files and standard high speed steel drills or counter sinks. Ground stainless is available, but in a lot less size choices. www.mscdirect.com/ would be only one of many that can supply that unhardened tool steel. Just use ground tool steel as the search term. It's also 2-4 times harder and more durable than brass. Designing any tool is only half the job, proper engineering choices while working around every materials built in mechanical compromises is the other half. Yes aluminum or even brass is much easier and at least for the aluminum a bit cheaper to find. But for a heirloom grade tool I'm going to put the time into making and then expect to use for a very long time I'd always chose something better than aluminum.
Maybe pedantic, but in a shop environment there called scales not rules or rulers.
Excellent critiques... The project plans have a threaded rod epoxied into the body of the Setup Gauge with a knob threaded onto that rather than the threads in the wood, but I obviously decided to deviate from the plans a bit. I knew this might be a point of contention, but I thought threads in wenge would be strong enough, and it isn't seen in the video but I did reinforce the wood threads with a little CA glue. I think it will be okay, but I'll let you know how it holds up over time.
As for the terminology we use (a la scales vs. rules)... we do have a lot of discussion on this topic. Usually it comes down to a comprise between terms used in the professional industry versus using common terms the hobbiest/amatuer recognize, but as someone with a background in Mechanical Engineering, I hear you. :)
좋네요 ^^
Great work. What brand is that "special jam"...?
Great idea and a very nice result. However, threading wood directly is rarely a good idea, especially for this item which will see repeated settings with enough tension to lock the other part down. Rather, an insert for the knob is the better solution, whether this is a store bought insert or one made with aluminum, steel, or even brass and tapped directly.

Thanks for the video, What was it you used to apply the finish?
I like to use a balled up cotton rag wrapped in another small piece of cotton cloth with a bit of string wrapped around the top to hold it together as a finishing pad. It works great for shellac because it won't spontaneously combust like some oil finishes might.
Too bad these how to videos couldn't be "multi produced"
Version A. Like above
Version B. Using nothing but hand held DIY level tools
Version C. If I had to get a beaver to do all my wood shaping....
LOL obviously the last is far fetched. But I think these videos are great but would be awesome for those of us without the drill press, band saw, planer, jointers to see how things can be done in an alternative mode.
Excellent point... we often struggle with making assumptions on what the common tools most woodworkers own (hand tools vs. power tools). We are definitely trying to do more videos using hand tools, but it would be a good idea to show both methods in the same video to give people options.
An explanation of what you were doing as you did it would have been helpful
I agree.... Our Woodsmith Makes series was intended more for entertainment than instructional value. It is footage taken as we follow along one of our staff members building a project for fun or personal use, but I agree a little voice over would definitely add a lot to these videos. We'll look at doing that in the future. Thanks
Plans for that small custom router table?
That is our Compact Router Table... plans are available here: www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/compact-router-table/
Can you please enable auto-generated captions if you’re not going to upload captions manually?
It’s a big accessibility oversight on part of Woodsmith and I’d like to watch this video. Thanks for your help.
Sorry about that. For some reason this video didn't auto-generate the closed captions like our other videos. I will look into it.
We’ve actually got talkies these days...ya know??
Well played, sir, well played. :)
I don't like the properties of wenge...it's too coarse, the camera really picks it up on the router table. It looks beautiful when finished however!
I agree. It can be a little chippy at times but it worked well for this small project.
Would have liked being talked through the video. Still kept up, but would have been happier with having everything explained.
I agree... I think we'll try to add that next time.
What issue of Woodsmith or Shopnotes was this in ?
It was most recently in Woodsmith Magazine issue #243.
Originally in ShopNotes #5 - September 1992.
@@BobGarrett66 Thank you
@@BobGarrett66 - Thanks, Bob. I couldn't remember which issue of ShopNotes it was in. I knew it was an early edition but hadn't tracked it down yet.
AAAAHHH don't hammer on your drill press table.
Ha, Ha... busted, Phil!
You really need to explain what you are doing. I followed everything, but a novice is going to click away from this right away. That's why I stopped subscribing to your magazine. Everything is "give them just enough to be annoying and force another purchase".
Sorry about that... our Woodsmith "Makes" series is just a follow along in the shop as one of the guys builds something for fun or for personal use. The video is not really intended for instructional use. I agree that it would be helpful to add some voice-over to the Woodsmith "Makes" videos just so the average viewer can follow along a little better and that is something to consider for future videos.
In regards to Woodsmith Magazine, I don't really understand what your complaint is... Unlike other woodworking publications, the plans in our magazine give you every piece of step-by-step instruction and dimensions needed to complete the project. Maybe I'm missing something though.
