I am just learning to use a router table. Can you clear me up on this confusion? I know with the table saw, one should not use anything that will bind the wood between the rip fence and the saw blade, so we are never to use the miter gauge and a fence at the same time as the rip fence. It appears to me that you are using that type of scenario on your router table. Why did you not need to remove the back fence to make those cuts? Thanks.
I can’t tell you the official reason, other than routing this type of joint on the router table is much safer than the table saw when running stock against the fence and It’s how I’ve always done it..... thanks for the question
@@@henryworkswoodandmetal Thanks for seeing and replying. I really am in the dark about what can happen, so I will have to hope someone else will see this and have a go at enlightening me. Or maybe a friend here at home ... I think I know the rule can be broken at the table saw if the cut you are making is not a thru cut, like a dado, because there is no danger of kickback? But now I am doubting myself... still new enough to get it wrong, so I will err on the side of caution. Thanks! Wait. I watched again... In the first cut, using the second fence, the strip of wood doesn't actually reach the back fence. In the second cut, you use a backer board but only one fence. I will still have someone watch with me.
I used "Mod Podge Matt" you should be able find it at most craft or hobbie stores, it goes on like thick glue and its pretty easy to use and cleans up with warm water!
Thanks, the idea for the slow motion parts is so the viewer can see what I've just completed, I understand its not for everyone. Thanks for the input!👍
Never thought to use a router to cut the dividers... very clever. Enjoyed your video!
Thank you for your support!
The dividers are a great addition. And I do like the strips on the bottom better than the little feet. I'm so going to make these.
Thank you!!!
Great idea.
Thanks 👍
Great idea with the Modge Podge...it gives a very subtle distressed look to it which I like
thanks, it really makes it easy to find your stuff.........thanks for watching
Love it... Thanks for sharing Henry
Im happy you liked it, thanks!
Doesn't play for me at the moment! :-( Anything you can do at your end? Really enjoyed Part 1 :-)
I checked the video and it played for me just now, so.......I hope your able to watch it, thanks for taking a look at my channel!!!
Adding the text to the sides is a great idea
Yes, it really makes it easy to stay organized
Very clever making the compartments.
Thanks, they are working out to be great organizers!

Take a look at this video about routing on the router table, it might help with what your asking...... th-cam.com/video/OO7WM5bALiQ/w-d-xo.html
Nice video. What is the "nailing" tool you use?
thanks, its a Kobalt 23 gauge pin nailer I bought from Lowes......
Thanks Henry, I will have to look that one up. It looks pretty useful.
Great video. Does it has to be a laserprinter? Or can I uese my inkjet printer?
You can use your inkjet printer, I tried both the laser printer was just a little darker on the wood, thanks and good luck with your project!
What did You use to make the printed label translucent?
I used "Mod Podge Matt" you should be able find it at most craft or hobbie stores, it goes on like thick glue and its pretty easy to use and cleans up with warm water!
Gotta be a nicer way to make the handles.
Yes, I'm sure there is always a better way to do most things.......thanks!!!
Good video, but minus the slow motion effects.
