In this video, I show you how to layout a series of 20mm holes in a worktop at perfect right angles to one another using the Parf Guide System and our good ol' friend Pythagorus.
This is a teaser to my Parf Bench Build series so be sure to watch that if you're interested in building a more permanent setup for yourself.

Pythagoras - the most useful thing we learnt at school when it comes to woodworking and construction.

@mikiauto73 2 месяца назад

Thanks! This is the first video I've seen that demonstrates the correct procedure. You're absolutely right - we need to start by drilling all the 3mm pin holes we can reach. Then, we can tackle the ones that are inaccessible. For instance, Peter Millard's method wasn't ideal, especially for beginners seeking the best approach. The only missing element here would be perfectly squaring the first row using precise measurements from the top's exterior.

@frenchriversprings 5 лет назад

Hey I saw your photo in a woodworking magazine!

@a0flj0 5 лет назад

With all the explanations, I'm now thinking of doing a kit myself. All it takes is two long straight edges with evenly spaced holes. Those are not so difficult to make - a pin used as a stop block for the first hole, then the last drilled hole slipped onto the pin fixates the piece for the next hole - on a drill press.

@MrTresto Год назад

It's not difficult to make an approximate version. It's VERY difficult to make it perfectly aligned, spaced, perfect fit and diameter. Since it's what all the other cuts are based on, I wouldn't recommend this. You need a VERY tight tolerance CNC machine to make all this so precisely milled, and this is how the parf kit is made. Lots of jigs and tools can be successfully shop-made. For this one I'd say probably no (unless you do indeed have the equipment)

@@MattEstlea understood. I own a track saw and always leave a slight kerf in whatever I am cutting on top of. Do you calculate the depth? Or is there another method? Again, love your videos. Keep up the great work. BTW, is the parf system suitable to use for a roubo style bench with a thick top?

@YouGumppy 5 лет назад

@@peterrodrigues1098 Don't know why this wouldn't work with a roubo style bench. Parf dogs come in short-, long- and longer- length so a longer dog would secure well in a deeper dog hole. Not sure a roubo style bench would be conducive for precision track-saw cuts using parf system, however.

@simonjones6631 5 лет назад

Matt, I am a new viewer to your channel when RU-vid dropped this video on my desktop.

How to not use the parf guide system: Don't try to remove the debris when drilling with the forstner bit by hand. Get a vacuum cleaner of some sort instead! Good news: I've started a new youtube challenge - Drill yourself in your finger with a forstner bit! I expect Jimmy Fallon to make recurring segment on the tonight show any day now. Other than that - this system is so very excellent. I marvel when i test the accuracy while making them!

@ajames1585 5 лет назад

Hi Matt. Like your You Tubes and I understand you have to come up with ideas but mate just buy a small table saw and make a small out feed table, it will be roughly the same size as your future set up and be far less hassle setting up. It’s also far easier moving and locking a table saw fence and I will assume you will grow tired of this system over time (I agree it will also have its benefits) I say this for advise to newbies and I’m not knocking you or your ideas. When you reach my age/experience you will think differently from your today’s thoughts. If I had time and the inclination I would make some tutorials myself.

@mrdo9081 5 лет назад

Hi Matt, Any problems with break out on the back side of the MDF, particularly nearer the end of the drilling when the edge would have gone from the bit. Thanks for the tip will have a look at the Mk II to see if it is worth it. I, like you am planning on doing a large 8' x 4' table, maybe a Paulk style "thick top" on trestles - have you considered that over a fixed table? For the space from time to time. Keep up the good work!

@WombleUK 5 лет назад

It makes a huge difference what quality MDF you use. If you use the crap Wickes & most builders merchants sell you will get loads of breakout & also the drill bit will clog up constantly making the whole thing a nightmare. You really need to use high quality MR MDF like Medite or Kronospan you will get a shaving when drilling & no breakout. Peter Parfitt's videos have some examples of cheap vs quality MDF. I use Kronospan for my tops & can't fault it.

@paulbyford 4 года назад

As the size is 20mm, does this stop the use of Veritas 19mm dogs. Specifically,, I was hoping to use Veritas Quick-Release Wonder Dog as a vice, so I wasn't sure if 19mm is better to cut into your board than 20mm, any suggestions?

@j.s.8819 5 лет назад

Hi Matt, this tool seems expensive, but after watching your video I‘m ready to get one - it‘s also available in Germany I‘ve seen. Over time, it will be worth it when drilling several boards. I wonder if the drill is sold alone as replacement, since a regular Forstner bit will not do it? However, my actual question is: I‘m in the process of buliding a small Paulk style bench from 15mm birch plywood. Do you think it,s better to glue up the torsion box before drilling or after. It would be easier to route and chamfer from both sides before glue up, but maybe building the box before ist better? Does that make sense? Greetings from Munich, Jens
