    Who else likes race cars in the neighborhood?

      Save time and money having to drive to the track to watch the cars.
      I like it when the neighborhood teenagers rev up their hondas with their fart can mufflers. They stomp on the gas and launch at the stop sign and they've already shifted gears 3 times before they reach the other side of the intersection. It really gets my ol' lady in the mood.

      I wouldn’t exactly call of those racecars
      You could use the same idea for angled shelves to quote Izzy swan “jigs I love Jigs”

    Nice simple jig, vey useful. One thing you could do is make the jig long enough to do both sides of the shelf/bookcase. That way the shelf dado will be 100% lined up and you could knock 2 out in one operation.

    • @chriszeien9112
      @chriszeien9112 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Absolutely agree. I am going to build one to do just that. Always a good idea to dado both, you know they will be right on or as close as I would ever get.

    I am way late on the video but finally, an actual EASY jig a beginner can replicate. So many videos say easy jig then you click on them and guess what? They ain’t easy!

  • @mightyporky
    @mightyporky 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have watched you instruct before and now I subscribed. I am old now and still work in my shop, when I am not there I am on youtube. When I began woodworking TV was very new to most folks and No way to learn except hands on. The approach you show here is practical and informative. The fit was perfect as you know from experience to leave our friend glue, some room.

  • @DunerecordsGent
    @DunerecordsGent 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Love the very calm approch of this... a soothing voice and not that over the top " Hé Mom look, I'm a DIY rockstar on TH-cam " thing... Really love that humbleness ..... and a simple but clever idea..

    I know this is three years old an you probably don’t read these comments, but a trick I learned about glue ups is, a pinch of salt in the glue will keep the parts from sliding around on you while you fasten them.
    Love the channel, the content and the simple way you out things. Hell of a job, brother. Keep it up.

    Really love your videos. Editing is great, your camera angles are excellent, your volume adjustment (and speed up moments) for when tools run.. everything right down to your very easy and calming voice. Look forward to the next video :)

      @InspireWoodcraft  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @wannabefunnyman
    @wannabefunnyman 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love these problem solver videos. For those of us who don’t have all kinds of money to throw at problems it’s great to find these videos that usually don’t require much aside from a trip to the scrap bin and some ingenuity, graciously supplied by you.

  • @briankranson9195
    @briankranson9195 5 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    Nice job! One thought is to add a strip or two of tape along the rails to tighten the fit a tiny bit. :)

    • @InspireWoodcraft
      @InspireWoodcraft  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You know I thought about that too, but then I waxed it to make it slide better so I kind of screwed up that idea. Thanks for the suggestion though!

    @jackieb1432 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you! I am just learning woodworking and was looking for a way to make a jig so I could put a T-Track system in my workbench and this is perfect! I'll just make mine a little longer and then I'll be able to make 3/4" dado's at any time. If I need to, I can just cut it down shorter but if it works, don't knock it.

  • @shaynesabala
    @shaynesabala ปีที่แล้ว

    Love it. I’m pretty new to wood working but I’m good with my hands. I built my first jig last year out of simply safety. I had to make a ridiculous cut on a small piece on the table saw and saw bad things happening lol. I rigged up a simple jig and It worked great. I remember how satisfying it was to think it up and make it happen. I think that’s one of the things I like the most about wood working, one is only limited to their imagination. Thanks for the video.

    • @nmoran2046
      @nmoran2046 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only slight disadvantage is that that jig is best used with that size bit In order to use the fence cut to line up your router cut if you use a larger bit they no longer lined up,saves pencil marks all over the peace
      If that makes sense But they are easy to make and you could make a lot for the different size bits required

    I'm making a "murphy desk" with shelves this weekend and THIS is exactly the jig I was looking for for my 3/4 lumber. Fast, cheap, easy to make and it looks like it works great. Thanks for the video. Don't worry about the cars. My neighborhood is a bunch of high end whiny motorcycles - MUCH louder and annoying than cars. You don't even notice the noise on the video once you start watching you work!

    @frogpondfarms3145 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just started watching your videos and they’re great. One idea would be have one arm permanent and then the other arm would be adjustable. That way it would be usable for a range of dado sizes and bits.

    I am a fan of your work and have watched a few of your videos already. I have to say that I prefer you talking to the camera as opposed to voice over. I also appreciate you leaving in the part where it didn't come up square and you fixed it because often times in videos people just say check for squares and then move on but don't explain it show what happens if you're not square.

  • @MrBigMalT
    @MrBigMalT 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Nicely made! I guess it still depends on how accurately you line up the router cutter with your 2 pencil lines when making the jig. A different way of doing this would be to use a bearing guided cutter, and use a scrap of the actual plywood on edge to set the width between the 2 sides of the jig 👍

    I think the style of your videos is great. Background noise not a problem for me at all, though perhaps a pain for you. Loved you showing glitch with being out of square then fixing it. Great job. I'd add add centerline markers on inside edges and mark my dados that way, rather than lining up edge mark with bit. Just a thought.
