Welcome to DP Shop Talk! The DP channel features helpful how-to videos, jigs, shop tips and tool reviews with a focus on shop-made efficiency solutions. I have created this channel out of a desire to share my experience and knowledge with others, as well as get the audience involved and create a community for discussion. I want DP Shop Talk to be a place where people can contribute what they have learned and what works for them so we can all learn from each other.
I have a passion for creating shop-made efficiency solutions that make my work faster, more efficient and more enjoyable. As a professional cabinet maker and finish carpenter, I have a broad range of experience with many different woodworking projects. I hope that you will find something on the channel that you find useful and informative and can use in your own shop. Be sure to share your experience and leave some comments and join the discussion. From my shop to yours, happy woodworking!
I always thought I was the only one who would write something like 23 1/4 (-1/32) on my cut list. But you’re right, it’s faster and easier that way. I like the style of your video. It’s concise and easy to understand!!
Hello. Thank you for this video . Mine create a stopping point at almost half the drawer. I have 6 drawers and new slides would be expensive. Is there a way to move the slide back more or remove something to allow my current slides more length? Thanks!
How do you get to a 90 degree step up using 15 degrees for only 4 cuts, seems like just a 60 degree which would not get you back to level with the step up? I feel like i am amissing something. The other videos about this use 22.5 degrees for the cuts. It's making me feel crazy. ha
I can fix damn near anything. It's pretty satisfying when you are successful. Information is key. Next is figuring out which tool is the best tool for the job. Then you just need the parts and or materials, fasteners, adhesive etc.
These are the only parallel guides I've seen that are truly parallel. The stuff you can buy requires two readings. If you're off by a mm on many repeated cuts it really compounds the error.
This was exactly what i was looking for! Question I need to do this exact detail on both a right and left side. Do i reverse the cutting side for the angles on the left corner?
Doubtless this has been mentioned. But you don't really need 3 jigs. Just set the measuring jig, and transfer that to one other jig, then they are both the same.
Oh that's right! I knew your name looked very familiar Jim but I couldn't place it with a conversation. I really appreciate you reaching out again and prayer is always very much appreciated and needed. I've been preaching through James and I'm currently at verse 14 in chapter 5. The topic of prayer has been heavy on my heart and we've been taking a close look at prayer as we've been going through these verses and how vital it is. Hope all is well with you and if there any way I can pray for you please let me know. Feel free to reach out via email too. Lord Bless.
1:20 I'm not sure if the video is flipped but it looks like your link belt is put on the wrong way? I mean, its not too big a deal, but I've noticed it's noisier. It supposedly causes the link tabs to be pushed, rather than roll when they reach the pulleys, and causes the belt to wear out quicker. I say this because my first link belt, I put it on the way you have it, and it caused the belt to get very hot, and break down faster. The little tabs on the inside started to wear out and if I didn't notice it in time, one could've become so damaged that it would've broken free.
I think I did actually flip it around at one point but I don't have the saw anymore so I can't be sure. I think someone else had pointed that out too. Thanks for the comment👍
I have built it, it take me 3 hours and actually i have made the top and bottom little bit bigger to install 44 inch wide cabinets. Thanks a bunch. Its great 🙂
