I watched another video that said doing the pocket holes that way is a no no. i.e. the way they described this being done would have the pocket holes on top of the shelf so the screws go down. Whereas, the way you do it is with the screws pointing up. Here's the video for reference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mvO6zaIUO18.htmlsi=GYOEn5e61OC5NWTH&t=402
I think those are the ones that can be used to actually take out more wood than demonstrated and then use a plug cutter (usually there is a corresponding one) on a scrap bit of wood to then fill the gap with. If using just to make the screw flush, for example on floorboards underneath carpet, a countersink with a drill bit is perhaps overkill.
Thank you, that's a great explanation, I'd seen the right hand direction thing before but crucially they never mentioned having your thumb over the board! That makes all the difference and now that's something that I'll always remember and use 👍
Pretty disappointing. I was hoping you'd demonstrate how to do a gang cut with at least ten of those boards side by side. It's not obvious how you would clamp all the boards together when they're say 1.5 metres wide in total.
You've still botched the explanation, and frankly I haven't seen a single person explain it correctly. There is no way to move "against the rotation of the bit." The bit is circular and rotates in circular fashion, so that is pointless guidance and really explains nothing. Also, in your video when you say "the bit's rotating this way," we can barely see your hand and have no idea what you're doing with your fingers. Looks like you're swirling them in the same direction you're pushing the router. Which is the opposite of what you say to do.
This video helped me get my saw back to cutting straight. I would comment that you have to watch the entire video to figure out how to perform the fixes if you find somthing out of alighment. It would be a better video if you showed how to check alignment of one thing then immediately after how to fix it. You also say to loosen the three screws for one of the fixes, but I would have found this step helpful to be videoed. I felt I had to remove all three to dust out all the wood shavings and then wasn't quite sure how to go about getting them back in and aligned, but I managed!
That was so awesome in the simplicity of right thumb over the board index finger pointing the right direction Thank you so much The video I've been looking for ✌️
I stopped buying expensive plywoods altogether ... I have built beautiful shelving and edging using thick utility grade plywood and buckets of drywall mud. Works like a charm. Little extra work to save 100's of dollars on plywood. Sand, prime and paint. Looks just like in the rich folks houses !!! LOL
Whats keeping the round over bit from digging in deep in certain spots? Been trying it out and everytime i have some deep cuts in the edge. Do i need to use a special guide to make sure the bit stays in a straight line?
Probably a bit of practice. If that's in short supply, I'd use a guide / sacrificial piece of wood on the exact horizontal plane as your finished piece on which you can rest the other side of the router base. For a novice, trying to make an accurate cut AND balance the router effectively is a bit much.
