I think this is a great example of how the woodworking community should support each other. Now only is it great information on making multiples in an efficient production process, it also addresses safety which should always be a priority. Additionally, the fact that you contacted the person about your thoughts and suggestions on what you saw in their video shows that you care. And finally, the diplomatic way you presented the information in your video without knocking the other woodworker was first class. Thank you Stumpy for your knowledge and professionalism. You might well have prevented a fellow woodworker from getting a Stumpy Nub.

Man, one day late. I just had to make more of these this weekend. Thank you for doing this. Helpful as usual! I’m here to learn like everyone else. Andy

A true fan of the community. Stumpy A.k.a. James. Thanks for your continued attention to make this community better.

There is one more important lesson here, basic human communication, respect, humility and a genuine interest in the safety of those of us who learn from these two gentlemen. No need to bash and badmouth, no one is using someone else to give the impression of superiority. Simply two masters in their trait learning from one another and sharing their knowledge. Thank You both!

Love the two part holder jig. Lots of great tips here to remove repeative process injuries.

Another home run. You made him look good, and gave him a shout out while at the same time making a case for safety. While I do miss some of the corn, nothing beats a good belly laugh once in awhile, you get the point across that safety is serious business.

I've watched many RU-vid videos where I've been absolutely horrified by recommendations or procedures. Some of them have been downright dangerous, while the person making the video was absolutely clueless. Stumpy Nubs is one of the best RU-vid channels I've ever seen............

Ingenious idea, and your polite manner showed you sensitivity.

Stumpy you desereve a gold medal on woodworking education your channel is pure gold man.

Awesome idea of the jig for the router table! Nice one. Thanks

I have said and I’ll say it again - you are an accomplished speaker. You know what you intend to say and you say it well. You have supporting evidence, you present it, you’ve spent more than a minute to present your, I’ll say, presentation. You have sir, very good video, verbal and personal skills. Thank you. I’ll definitely keep your comments in mind. And I have because of your presentations become very aware of my, “What the hell, it’s only one cut…” Good on yuh! 👊

Some more insight on the router process. Rip the peices to width first (end grain being the long side) and router the end grain entirely, then cut the length to size. This is how we would make raised panel doors / drawers which would match grain throughout the cabinets. The best way to save time is at the shaper almost every time.

Thank you for all you do for the community, great job recommending Epeius Garage, he has a lot of great videos as well I see. Glad to find both of you for all my woodworking ideas.

Hopefully people will watch the entire video. Very good points for safety and efficiency!

I just gashed my finger while drilling screws into a small group of loose deck boards. Just slipped up for a second and put my weight into the bit against my finger. I was angry at a neighbor who consistently blocks our shared drive with no remorse. I wasn't being mindful, but it also made me reevaluate how I position my hands and body while doing a familiar, simple, repetetive task. Always good to be present while working. Safety should always come first.

I am always so encouraged and always so impressed. You have managed to help another RU-vidr and teach the rest of us while you’re doing it. All with your usual professionalism and caring demeanor. The jig that holds the pieces in two different orientations I think that is such a great idea. It is super simple, but we should all get in the habit of working so sensibly.

Hello stumpy, I'm 60, just discovered wood after all this time. Ha ha ha ha. Your advice is great never entered my head to make a frame, to put small jobs through the router table. Really like watching what you do. So simple to protect the fingers. Cheers.

I used to shy away from making any sort of jigs when I started out, I thought it was just too time consuming and a lot of extra steps to make something. I quickly realized how easy things are with jigs. I make one for anything I can.

This is a great video with excellent points and ideas to create multiple copies of a project. Thanks for your insight. Take care.

I am not a woodworker but I like to watch videos of talented people. I like videos like this one the explain the risks of woodworking and hot to minimize them. When ever I use power tools myself I take a moment and try to think how to minimize the risk of injury. Always were ear protection and eye protection. And always read the manual that comes with the tools you use.

I have always tried to set up jigs and stops for multiple drilling but you showed me a couple of new approaches in this video. And the router table setup was something that never crossed my mind. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

James your candour in broaching this is refreshing and I especially like the way you spoke with the other presenter beforehand, prior to your well presented tips and solutions. Fantastic to see that you take the time and effort to help improve the way others can work smarter and more safely - keep the good work coming.

I love this video; thank you! I am not very good at figure it out jigs so this is super helpful for pushing me more in the direction of trying to improve this piece of my woodworking. And love that you called Andy and talked to him ahead of doing this…thanks for it all.

I'm an avid-beginner-woodworker. I don't begin any project without first searching through your video catalog for guidance. Nothing like beginning my day with a cup of java and seeing a new video from you. Thank you for making my woodworking experience more enjoyable and safer. Stay well.

I have no upcoming plans or desires to batch process anything, but I still got more value than I was bargaining to watching this video, absolute top marks! you showed incredible class in how youvr dealt with this observation and in the event I'm ever making multiples of anything this is my new go to video. thank you!

What you did, needed to be done. How you did it, was professional and respectful. Great job. Love your channel.

Another gem of a video. I'm about to start a batch project making drawer handles for shop furniture. I've been trying to decide best way to maximize efficiency of using my Pantorouter versus router table/table saw/drill press. Your examples of creating effective fixtures and jigs inspired me to think about new applications and approaches.

I figured it out on paper. You must be close to 400 years old to have accumalated all your wood working knowledge. Amazing how much I learn from your videos.

That router jig is BRILLIANT !!! I'm a middle school tech teacher and will use this next time we are using the router table !!!

a while back I purchased your clamp rack plans, and and built it. the advise on building a jig for multiple repetitive cuts, while simple, is also highly effective, increasing safety and efficiency while decreasing mistakes and waste. Thanks for demonstrating yet another technique for applying this principle.

One more reason why Nubs is the gold standard! Always high quality, always high class, always informative. Thanks!

Very commendable of you and Andy too allow you to demonstrate a better and most importantly safer way of doing the job. This is what it is all about.

Fantastic, simple solutions. Those extra steps are what make you a pro vs. a hobbyist. Thanks for sharing. Love the jig for small part routing, will be using this genius solution.

James..you have shocked me. Why had I never thought of your excellent ideas on these simple jigs before? Brilliant

Thanks James for your incredible insight. Safety while working in the wood shop while being more productive is extremely valuable. Keep up the great work doing something that is not found anywhere else on RU-vid. 👊😎👍

So refreshing to see a video with critiques and not cringe! Instead I watched, learned, enjoyed, and found another interesting you tuber. How's that for showing the class way to do it!! Great job, Mr Hamilton. I hope your approach will be taken to heart by some who could really benefit(!) Thanks for another first rate video!

Gracefully done, James. Thank you.

Anyone who says that doing multiple of the same cuts doesn't make them a little safety nonchalant, good for you, but I definitely get like that and have a few little scars to testify. This is essential viewing for any amateur woodworker like myself, should almost be added to a pre-project playlist just as a reminder, this, and some of the tool care videos I have seen on RU-vid are great reminders. Thanks very much for a concise and instructive video.

Easy to understand why you're on your way to a million subs, superb channel and information you share, thank you! And cheers from the UK.

Thank you! Your timing is impeccable and VERY helpful.

Love it! Working smarter, not harder. Thank you.

I was a woodworker for a very long time, and I think both your jig set-up tips were excellent. I saved a LOT of my setups and have used them repeatedly on future jobs. Also, Whitside bits are definitely the best out there. None of the others even come close. Thanks, brother. I'm sure Andy is appreciative of your sharing the knowledge.

Nice teaching lesson. Man, can you spot ways to work smarter, not harder. Thank you, Professor Hamilton!

Thank you both to providing insights into how to improve our shop processes.

I learnt a lot of my tool skills from my older brother. He taught me that an understanding of how a tool works will allow you to realise it's limitations as well as get the best out of it. The greatest lesson came from seeing him lay out a few lengths of steel on his workbench and then sit down and just look at them. He said "The time I take to visualize doing the job will save me when it comes to actually doing it." It took me a while to discover it's not just time and materials that can be saved but also the potential for injury. This is a great video that shows that knowledge is far more valuable when it is shared.

Lots of good safety tips that are also time savers. Thanks for another useful video. Keep them coming. Cheers, Tom

Excellent video James. Your insight and ability to look outside the box is why I follow you. I have had several finger injuries by being in a hurry or being complacent. Thank you.

Great video. The pucker factor was definitely dialed up watching those router operations. That bit moves WAY faster than I can pull my hand away. I have a healthy respect for the router.

So creative. Thank you for these types of videos.

This may be my favorite SN video ever. Well done and thank you. Safety and production tips are the reason I love this channel.

Bravo!!! Your videos reflect your true care for safety (first and foremost) and being a master craftsman. TY

very helpful tips. I think what most of the woodworkers think is that the time I spent on making jigs I have got job done. always "safety first" !!!

Excellent tips! Smart, safe, accurate. Thanks for sharing these.

This is why I watch your channel; I always learn something. Great advice

As always, your tone and tact are very appreciated.

I learned a lot of this working in a pattern shop in the 80s. Make the right jigs and work becomes so much easier and safer. Figuring out the jig is often the hardest part!

I am a construction carpenter who has been in heavy civil construction for over 35 year, now a project manager and lift nothing heavier than a laptop. But I still dabble in my home workshop, but even in heavy civil construction we look at making things a repeatable process rather than a bespoke set up each time. Repetition can lead to saving on time and costs, but if short cuts taken injuries and delays occur. Great video, and very well delivered

Genius! And so graciously offered too.

Great video and I think this is an example of one aspect of woodworking that is very appealing to people. Critically and creatively thinking through a project or a particular cut to make it easier, more efficient, safer and more accurate.

The times when you do a couple of quick cuts or passes with the router and somewhere along the way you get to tell yourself, "Sheesh, that was stupid", hopefully without having a really bad day. Great tips, James. Yeah, we've been there.

Well done Stumpy and no feelings were hurt in the making of this video.

Thank you!! Jig for the router table is brilliant.

You make some really excellent and constructive points in this video that have me rethinking whether I am too relaxed my self with regards to shop safety which IMO we can never take for granted. Creating simple jigs like you demonstrated could save another from stumpy nubs in the future so you are sanding it forward for future generations of woodworkers. Well done Stumpy! I salute you.

Great video! You provided some very helpful tips for improving workflow and also for safety. I appreciate that you're bringing awareness and education to the video, instead of just criticizing. Nice how a couple of simple jigs make using the router table quicker and safer. Nice to see both of you working together on this, and now I've learned some new tricks. Thanks!

Excellence at its best, thank you both for sharing these ideas. I think you have saved a lot of fingers.

Thank you for sharing. You are a great teacher. Few weeks ago I almost lost my index finger. I had my finger too close the the blade and it ripped half the nail and the flesh of the tip of my finger. It only took hundreds of a second to ripped my nail and a 6 hrs wait in the ER. Thank you for sharing

Lots of respect for that guy. New sub to him for allowing us to learn too.

Valuable tips presented respectfully. Well done. The country could use more tact like you showed here.

Your knowledge and common sense problem solving help so many of us ! Thank you again.

You're a class-act. We all understand that the internet is ready to pull it's claws out whenever opinions are floating around. You did a fine job expressing the premise of your video without leaving much room for for the goon squad. And I'm sure the other channel will appreciate the bump. By my estimation, you're a good dude.

Great video! I also am a big fan of jigs for all the reasons you highlighted. Generally only takes a few minutes to put together especially after you get in the mindset of making jigs.

I love the router table jig part holder. I hadn't thought of that before. Excellent.

Solid advice - graciously given. Many thanks!

You have an extremely polite way of constructive criticism ❤ World would be a better place if everyone could share a different opinion or suggestion that way.

You have a lot of experience in wood issues James as it shows with all the solutions and safety tips you show us all great content mate 😁😁🤘🤘

Great value in this video, thanks for keeping it real and teaching at the same time. It's all about learning and growing and most of all enjoying and having fun while working safely. 🤘😎💪.

Thank you for this video. It helps us all think creatively about efficient, safe solutions in our wood shop.

I find your understanding, friendly explanations and instructive demonstrations very valuable from a pedagogical point of view.I myself have often not solved similar tasks quite so perfectly.

I like the way you framed this discussion into an educational and efficiency lesson with a nod to safety. You could’ve easily bashed a smaller channel, but you didn’t. You reached out to him and because of that he was open and received exposure to a much larger audience. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

As always, I learned something new and useful

Thank you for showing alternative methods of setting up multiple, repetitive methods and steps! I always learn a TON from your brief, succinct videos.

This was such an excellent video! Great examples of how to do multiple operations more quickly and more safely. Thanks.

This is great! Would love to see more videos in this style.

Sir ...your clear concise explanations as well as your respectful assistance of a smaller youtuber has earned a sub from myself (for what good that may be)

This simple video definitely shows the difference in skill level. Great jobs stumpy nubs thinking everything through and coming up with practical ways to solve the issues

Great timing - I have to batch out 50 items tomorrow - And yes they are small and on both router tables! Thanks for the ideas.

I really appreciate your commitment to helping people understand safety risks.

That jig for the router table is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Great video James. I am a hobby woodturner but getting so many tips for safety and new tricks. Your wast knowledge in woodworking and passing to the community is a great job 👏 👍. Thanks for everything.

I just finished making a large serving platter from Walnut, Maple and Padouk for my daughter. I can honestly say I spent almost as much time on setup for each step as I did actually cutting wood for that step. I also got to spend a couple days making a new jig to keep my hands away from the router for a change. Ive had too many close calls with that stupid thing. Thanks for this type of video! You keep making them, Ill keep watching and taking notes.

Learned a lot today. Thanks! Just beginning to work with a router and I appreciate the tips.

I was thinking some sort of jig as well, but then I was over thinking it! Your jig was simple and very effective. Nice result and repeatable. This channel has become a bit of a go to for me.

I haven’t really started getting in to woodworking but this topic has been on my mind lately for when I do. Thanks Stumpy for sharing your thoughts and experience.

Truly love my jigs. I use them often and usually find new and inventive ways for their use. I will parrot some previous comments and say I appreciate the way you contacted the other RU-vid creator when you made this video. I definitely makes the community stronger.

I watched the set up for the drill press and thought 'Gee, that's cleverly done.'. Then the template you used for the router table, and I was 'Damn!'. Nicely done, and well explained as always :)

That is a great idea for the router jig. Thanks for sharing

Absolute gentleman! Your videos & advice are some of the absolute best, very much appreciated. Thank you.

Such a simple example of a jig, but it really gets me to thinking. Thanks for the tips.

To have a video commented on by Mr. Stumpy Nubs is an honor. He wasn’t bashing anyone, the video was discussed beforehand, everyone is happy and once again he’s probably saved someone some time/fingers/money. Excellent presentation, like always.
