lightbulb moment when you showed the cross section. thank you!

So would it be accurate to say, basically the SawStop works similar to a metal detector, measuring the change in conductivity, rather than closing a circuit?

Love it!

Thank you so much for muting the loud spots. Really good video.

It felt like you just hurried into the meat of the issue, I would have appreciated a little more foreplay

Would you use a 2x4 for your front fence (the one nearest you as you begin your cut)? Or is it always best to glue together two pieces of plywood?

Clear video - and food for thought. Thank you.

While You Made 1 With Your Pocket Hole Jig I Already Made 10 By Hand Wothout Jig. Amén.

Wood does move significantly but if you put a finish on it like wax or the ladder you can stop the process greatly

Or just paste the glue onto the brace lol

i love this!!! and no holes!

have you cut through any test wood and seen how deep the dowels have gone in?

Working on an 84" tall pantry, end pcs arent square and i had no idea how to get it there.

I wonder if you cut a small groove in the side of the dowel, would it allow it to go in easier without air/glue being compressed?

👏🏻 Looks amazing 👏🏻

👏🏻 Great use of the kreg jig. 👏🏻

Would it make the joint stronger if you did one pocket hole on each side instead of both holes on the same side?

Looks berry berry good to me !☺️

Your work is impressive. Are these pieces for sale?

This is incredible, have never seen this done before and I will definitely be doing it from now on. Hate those ugly screws, and the plugs never seem to work. Thank you for this video!!!

Or just use a dowel jig and put two or three dowels in the normal way. Just as strong as a domino, cheaper tool layout. Conventional dowel joining is strong, very easy and they are invisible. Sorry, the final plus, a bag of hardwood fluted dowels are cheap and carry glue through the joint better than a smooth dowel.

Love this. I will be trying this method on my next build.

I really like expanding my knowledge despite what trolls will distract you with. I was researching dowel jigs for a project and thought about upgrading my dowel jig kit that I bought some 40 years ago! I still have it but the original project was a coffee table built with limited funds and is still in use however I am building a wall for my RV lavatory to enclose an area for a hanging closet and a bank of deep drawers and was pointed towards the Dowelmax as I can use it in tight spaces etc. However, your suggestion of the Kreg pocket hole screw jig is a great option. Thank you reminding us of a good idea from another time period.

I see where this would work - but wouldn't it be better to use dowels? A Milescraft Dowel Jigs are pretty cheap.

Suggestion; carve one or more relief groves down the side of the dowel to let excess glue escape

Great video. Need one clarification kindly can you clarify? What is the difference between pocket dowels and straight dowels? Also need to know in dowel joinery final nailing is not required (using traditional nails)? If so, how to do the nailing part for dowel joints to ensure the tightness of the joint. Any advice please.

I'm not sure there's going to be very good glue spread along the dowel holes as you've used smooth dowels whereas jointing dowels have grooves to carry the glue. Secondly, I cannot see this will have anywhere near the same strength as a mortice and tenon joint, there's a reason why dowels usually used for alignment with have additional fastenings for strength. Mortice and tenon joints are not that difficult really, tedious maybe, but very satisfying. I suggest you might learn to use them?

it's a great idea and I just watched a gentleman on another video test all the kinds of wood joints,dowels like yours was the strongest.

wood to wood with good glue is always the best way! Screws just do not do what wood will when glued. Also, the expansion, etc in wood now works together...:) However, the combination idea was very good and supplied extra strength.

My family asked for a dice tower for Cristmas. I just found and saved your video after passing on a lot of others. Great process of trial, error, rework, and the inal product looks awesome!

4:34 - that's what she said

Good

I have just seen your videos. I really like this method as an alternative to just pocket hole screws particularly with thicker timber.

Nicely done. Haht tip for giving cred to the other guy.

What are benefits of using these over screws? Does this make a stronger joint? Geniunely curious from someone beginner

Are you sure that this is stable joint to use ?

Why dowels and not screws ?

to slow

Is this a stronger join then straight using pocket hole screws?

Excellent idea!

Thank you for educational content with an amusing delivery.

Pocket dowels. Great idea. Thanks for adding the comment about gluing the apron to the leg. The only thing I’d do slightly differently is use a sanding block after trimming off the dowel ends. Can’t wait to try this!

Nice job!

If you were to use the carpenter's triangular mark, then you know EXACTLY top, bottom, left, right

You'rre the first I've seen that answered or replied to troll comments. Classy, straight to the point answers and replies. Great information and video ! Thanks.

Would love to see a strength test performed on this joint.

and my first comment was more an algo trigger

Good thoughts. My only gripe is the continued rendition : "butt joints glue-up are weak". This has been proven to be a ghost by several creators.

Couldn’t you just put in pocket screws and get those wood plugs to fill them? Pretty sure that along with glue would be the same thing and probably easier

This is so dope....
