I'm Nick Harrison with Rocky River Woodworks and I post videos including project ideas, tutorials, tips & tricks, and more. I include build plans for most of my projects and those plans can be found on my website!
www.youtube.com/@john-the-new-guy Very helpful thanks a lot. Making a fool of myself trying to learn woodworking on my own starter RU-vid channel. This will help.
Honestly, I am not sure. I don't think I have ever tried. I would imagine that if you do, it'd be best to install the holes on the outside of the miter, not inside.
Can I make a rabbet cut on 2 pieces of 3/4” plywood to join them using a router or would I have to switch to a table to make that cut? FYI I don’t have a table saw lol. I’m making a shelf using 3/4” plywood that’s 60” x 10” and slapping a 1x4 (3/4”) on the face of it
You can run an end grain board through a planner but you need to super glue a sacrificial board to the back end... and take minimal passes, as you mentioned. That avoids the end grain chip out. I'm older, I don't know how much time I have left, I need shortcuts ;) Thanks for all your efforts in producing these videos. Enjoying the builds.
Yes. Correct. I will say, however, that this swing is under a porch and has been in place a couple of years and no issue. The screws help hold everything together as well.
My guy, safe practices are basically non-existent in this video. It's a cool build, but your methods are sketchy AF. For any newbies that are watching: do not use the table saw or the jointer in the way he is doing it. He wont have all of his fingers for long.
awesome presentation , explained very well ,I am looking buy one soon ,I like this model, Can you let me know the total length and width ,I heard you saying 20 and 27 inch , Total length only 20 inch ????
Great video, very informative. I have never seen that technique about face jointing a wider board and using a flat board with double sided tape to run through the planner, that is a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
Good presentation. My problem is a drawer build that specified 1/2" ply using pocket screws. But the nominal 1/2" ply measured only 11mm which Kregg said is too thin for pocket screws. But I already have the pieces cut. Now what?
I believe Kreg sells small 1" PH screws you could try. If not, potentially look at simply glue the box together for now. If that doesn't work, you may have to re-cut the pieces.
@@RockyRiverWoodworks Well too late. I already used N0. 0 biscuits and glued instead of screws. Next time I will use a caliper to measure plywood before I buy. Thanks for replying - much appreciated.
I would suggest taking the dimensions of your project and seeing how many boards you will need. Then by using the dimensions of each board, you can find the total board feet needed.
Yes, since I published this video 3 years ago until now, I have made this template available for $3.00 USD on my website instead of no cost at the time of publishing this video. This helps keep my channel running whilst posting free content on RU-vid.
I have mine mostly enclosed but still get a good amount of debris flying away from it. I use DIY curtains similar to what welders hide behind but just cheap plastic stapled to a frame I can position in the area I open to access for bit changes etc. It keeps a lot of dust raining on the floor after it hits the curtain. I even thought about dollar store shower curtains. Whatever works!!
That is a good idea. Shortly after this video, I built something similar and it helped with dust and noise. I then upgraded to a Shapeoko and now have upgraded to a 5'x10" ShopBot.
Absolutely, they're great. Usually (as you know) hardboard isn't super strong. But with those pieces being so small in relation to the amount that's supported on the sides, they hold up fine. And one of those trays full of screws doesn't really weigh all that much.
